    In the early morning, Liu Mingqi woke up to the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

    This is real.

    The environment in ancient times was good.

    Even with the windows closed, there is still a scent of flowers and plants seeping in.

    Not to mention the sound of birds, one after another, making people want to sleep for a long time.

    Although he didn¡¯t know what time it was, he simply got up and washed up.

    After leaving the small building, Wang Feng, the clerk in charge of the inn, was busy. When he saw Liu Mingqi, he quickly raised his hand: "His Royal Highness!"

    Generally speaking, in terms of titles, those who call Liu Mingqi "Little Prince" are basically ordinary people.

    "Anyone with an official status is usually called "His Royal Highness".

    Wang Feng was busy last night, boiling water for washing his face and feet, cleaning the room, and fumigating the room with mugwort so that there were no mosquitoes in the room at night.

    From this we can see that this inn clerk is quite capable of getting things done.

    Liu Mingqi looked up and saw that he had set up two large stoves outside the kitchen in the courtyard for the helpers to cook porridge.

    The staff at the inn are officially established, but most of them are privately employed.

    This can not only reduce the burden on the country's court, but also actively mobilize their enthusiasm for work - if they don't work, they will be fired. Can you not be serious?

    "Hey, are you using briquettes?" Liu Mingqi's sharp eyes saw that underneath the stove where stones were piled up, it was burning brightly. Wasn't it just a few briquettes?

    Wang Feng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is the briquettes produced by Prince Yu's Mansion. Starting from April this year, the imperial court has distributed briquettes to every large and small post station for our use."

    Liu Mingqi asked smoothly: "How much do you pay every month?"

    "This inn is a second-class inn. It distributes 13,500 briquettes every month. After all expenses, it can save between two and three thousand briquettes every month." Wang Feng replied, "And  The rest are the gifts and rewards given to you by the imperial court."

    This is not because Wang Feng is honest and directly reveals the extra money, but because the court already has these systems.

    The more remote the officials are, the more small the officials are, the more subsidies the Dakang court will give them.

    After all, based on normal salaries, it is difficult for them to support their families.

    The officials of the imperial court can still receive year-end rewards, but these petty officials, or even the "officials" who are not even minor officials, do not have this good thing.

    Therefore, the court usually provides them with subsidies through the distribution of various materials, at least enough to support their family.

    Of course, there must be corruption and so on, but as long as it is not excessive, the court will not take care of it.

    When the water is clear, there will be no fish.

    They have it so hard, why not be so harsh?

    If you think about it, you will naturally feel relieved.

    Wang Feng is nothing here. For those border troops stationed on the border, the court even pays for their wives and children with food, and some things are distributed to the families during the holidays.

    ¡°For example, in several border fortresses in Xikang Province, everything such as briquettes and briquettes are open to use, even at their homes in the rear, and no money is required.

    It is precisely because of such a system that ensures that the border troops can fight to the death and garrison with peace of mind.

    ?????????????????????????????????????? Otherwise, everyone will follow the border army system like the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. If not all of them flee, it will be considered as giving face.

    The same is true for the inn.

    Even though there are only 2,000 to 3,000 pieces of briquettes that can be saved every month, they sell them to restaurants, inns, flower houses and other places doing business here. The price of each piece is not two cents, at least they reach  It reaches six Wen, and can climb to eight Wen in winter.

    Do you think it¡¯s expensive?

    "Two cents a piece, that's in the capital!"

    The price of transporting it from the capital to Shaanxi, especially Hanzhong, is at least five cents each, and it will not end up on the remote Luogu Road at all.

    Therefore, everyone can only buy briquettes flowing out of the inn.

    After all, the advantages of briquettes such as strong fire, stable wind, resistance to burning, and low smoke are definitely beyond the reach of firewood.

    Merchants who buy briquettes are not afraid of losing money. The cost of transporting various materials is very expensive. Food, drink and entertainment here are twice as expensive as outside.

    The caravans and travelers who can rest on Luogu Road are not short of money.

    One who is short of moneyWhen asked, he answered everything he knew.

    "Are there many iron-eating beasts in the mountains?"

    "It's not that many. We only know about two or three hundred of them! Maybe there will be more deep in the Qinling Mountains." The hunter's father replied.

    Liu Mingqi nodded.

    If he remembers correctly, in addition to Gungun Protected Area in Sichuan, there is also Gungun Protected Area in Hanzhong. However, the protected area in Hanzhong is not well-known, and many future generations do not know about it.

    He asked again: "Then what was your harvest?"

    "Not very good." The eldest among the three brothers shook his head, "The iron-eating beast itself is very fast and good at climbing mountains and ridges. Moreover, it is very strong. If you try to catch it, you will often hurt people. So we are also lucky.  Only then can we catch one or two.¡±

    Many people don¡¯t know that iron-eating beasts are actually carnivores.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the way, they eat bamboo and act cute. In fact, when living in the wild, as long as there is not enough tender bamboo, they will eat meat.

    And the iron-eating beast runs very fast, and a wild one can surpass Xiang Zai in minutes!

    As for strength, let alone strength - iron-eating beasts, iron-eating beasts, as you can tell from their names, how powerful they are. They can directly catch people to death with one claw, and bite off an arm and a leg with one bite.

    Those Gunguns in later generations were just kept in captivity and lost a lot of their instincts.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? By????????????????????? I mean, the tigers and lions are kept in captivity, why don¡¯t they just be obedient pets?

    "Is it easy for iron-eating beasts to appear in this recent season?" Liu Mingqi asked again.

    "Back to the young prince, in this late summer season, there has been a lot of rain before, which is the time when they are most likely to appear. Otherwise, the men of the Luo family and the Zheng family would not have gone to catch the iron beasts today." The three brothers  The second child said, "It's a pity that they encountered two adult iron-eating beasts and were attacked at night, so they almost lost their lives."

    The young man found out clearly just now.

    There were a total of four people carried back, but because eight of them went together, they were finally able to bring the sick and wounded back smoothly while calling their friends.

    Those who dare to hunt iron-eating beasts are hunters with excellent technical abilities.

    In one breath, eight of them returned with broken wings. You can imagine how ferocious the wild iron-eating beasts are!

    However, Liu Mingqi was not afraid. He turned to a few people and asked: "I want to capture a few iron-eating beasts and return to Beijing. I wonder if you can help lead the way and investigate?"

    The five people looked at each other.

    Immediately the hunter¡¯s son nodded: ¡°I am willing to help!¡±

    "I am coming too!"

    The eldest of the three brothers then stood up.

    "good!"

    Liu Mingqi laughed and said, "Don't worry, no matter whether you gain something or not this time, I will give you another twenty taels of silver!"

    "Thank you, young prince!"

    The two were overjoyed.

    They are willing to take risks, isn¡¯t it just for money?

    This young prince is really happy!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
