Chapter 867 Protecting the environment
After Wang Bi and others left, Ying Feiyu began to write the manuscript himself, preparing to publish it in tomorrow's newspaper.
In the manuscript, the use methods and benefits of briquettes are introduced in great detail.
At the same time, some precautions were also emphasized to remind people to maintain ventilation during use!
Then it introduced the causes of deserts and some severe weather, as well as the consequences of destroying vegetation.
People are reminded not to cut firewood excessively and destroy vegetation.
Their generation may not notice anything, but future generations will suffer!
The land becomes more and more barren, the weather will gradually become abnormal, desertification will become more and more serious, humans will not be able to survive, etc.!
These are things that people have never thought about!
People have been going to the mountains to cut firewood for generations.
Because trees will continue to grow, people don’t care at all!
After saying this, the people suddenly realized!
"His Royal Highness, what you said makes sense. The thinnest wood we cut is as thick as an adult man's waist, and it will take at least several decades to grow! The thicker ones may even take hundreds of years to grow into a tree! Let's directly
Just chop it up, take it home, set it on fire, cook a few meals and burn it, which is really damaging the environment."
"No! A big tree won't burn for a few days, but it will take dozens or hundreds of years to grow. If this continues, how can there be any big trees?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince said in the newspaper that trees can make us gasp, and we can't cut them down like this anymore!"
"What is panting? It's not clearly written on it. It's called oxygen! Without this oxygen, we will all die...!"
After the newspaper was published throughout the Qin Dynasty, it immediately caused quite a stir.
They still don’t know what briquettes are, but they have a deep understanding that they must not stop deforestation indiscriminately!
In the past, there was not much land in the Qin Dynasty. In order to have more farmland, the people often brought agricultural tools to reclaim the mountains and forests.
But there is some sandy soil in the mountains and forests. Even if it is reclaimed, the food will not grow very well!
Now that Da Qin's territory continues to expand, many people have immigrated, and more and more land can be cultivated.
Coupled with Ying Feiyu's promotion of the ecological environment, many people immediately decided to abandon the reclaimed mountain forest land and replant it with trees to leave it to future generations!
"What His Royal Highness the Prince said is so reasonable. My house is close to the mountain. In recent years, every time it rains heavily, a lot of sand flows down from the mountain. The speed is very fast and shocking! So we
The family is usually most afraid of heavy rains! Now I know after reading the newspaper that it is called a mudslide, because there are too few trees on the mountain and there are no tree roots to catch the mud, so the mud flows down with the heavy rain!"
"Yes, yes, you really can't cut down trees casually in the future!"
"If we don't cut down the trees, what will we burn?"
"Actually, there are a lot of dead branches on the mountain, but we usually don't like the effort and are unwilling to pick them up...!"
In this era of deep mountains and dense forests, there are usually many branches that have been struck by lightning, blown by wind, or broken by snow, but no one is willing to go around to pick them up!
Instead, they go straight to the big trees in the mountains, chop down one, and then take it home and burn it for a few days. Who wants to spend that time searching for dead branches in the mountains!
Nowadays, the dangers of deforestation have been published in newspapers, and people will supervise each other. No one expects that in the era of their own children and grandchildren, natural disasters will continue!
"In addition to dry branches, didn't the newspaper also introduce briquettes? Just two pieces are enough for a family to boil water and cook. It's very convenient!"
"It's an introduction, but where is this briquette sold? Have any of you seen it?"
"That's not true!"
The people shook their heads.
“I haven’t seen anyone selling it, but isn’t there a recipe for making briquettes under the headlines on the front page?”
"What's the use of just having a production method? I glanced at it and it seems that to make briquettes, you must first have coal! We don't have coal in our hands, so it's useless to look at it!"
"Yeah, I guess only rich households with coal mines can make it!"
“I don’t know how much the briquettes will sell for after they are made!”
"Who knows, after coal is mined and processed, the price will definitely not be too low...!"
After the newspaper was published, the people were most worried about lighting fires and burning firewood in the future.
At the same time, the newspaper also attracted Ying Zheng's attention, and he specially called Ying Feiyu to the imperial study room to ask about the contents of the newspaper.
"Is what you kid said true? Will cutting down trees casually have such serious consequences?"
Ying Zheng asked with a serious face.
"Have you forgotten that your master knew what happened thousands of years ago?"
This time, Ying Feiyu also sat on the chair very obediently, without any intention of joking.
“If we don’t control indiscriminate deforestation, the Western Region will be covered by yellow sand before long!”
"In a few years, it will snow on the dog days, rain on the 39 days, and abnormal weather conditions, and that will become commonplace!"
After a slight pause, Ying Feiyu spoke again and talked about several dangers.
"It snows in the dog days of summer? Aren't all the good crops frozen to death?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's nerves immediately became tense.
"That's right! The natural ecology must be protected and cannot be cut down wantonly!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.
"Well! We really need to pay attention to it, otherwise we will be destroying ourselves!"
The Qin Dynasty is now booming and will dominate the world in no time.
It would be a joke to be destroyed by yourself instead of being destroyed by a foreign country!
"What do you mean by the briquettes and coal stoves you are talking about?"
Confirming that everything was true, Ying Zheng asked again.
"The internal combustion engine replaced the steam engine...!"
"You kid, don't talk to me about these useless things. What I'm asking is what exactly is briquettes and does it have any impact on the environment!"
Just as Ying Feiyu was about to explain, he was interrupted by the impatient Ying Zheng, who immediately shut up and kept rolling his eyelids.
Why is this old guy so impatient?
If he were to explain it halfway, this old guy would still have to dig deep and get to the bottom of it.
I started explaining it from the source and said that I was talking nonsense.
Then just stop talking!
"You guys are talking, aren't you?"
Seeing that he didn't speak and kept looking at him, Ying Zheng became even more anxious.
"Father, you are the one who doesn't let me speak!"
"I'm asking about what exactly briquettes are, and you're talking to me about internal combustion engines! Besides, I'm telling you to stop talking nonsense, and I'm not asking you to stop talking!"
"Isn't that the same thing? When talking about briquettes, we have to mention the internal combustion engine. My father doesn't let me talk about it, so I can only shut up!"
Ying Feiyu scratched his neck confidently.
"Okay, okay, okay, I've finally convinced you. Go on, go on, you can say whatever you want and I'll just listen!"
Chapter completed!
