The cold spring in Chang'an City lasted for half a month before it passed.

However, the sales of honeycomb coal not only did not decline, but sold more and more, which can be said to be popular in Chang'an City.

After all, honeycomb coal can not only be used for heating, but also for cooking.

Such a big matter has naturally become an important topic of conversation between the nobles of Chang'an City and the people after dinner.

Wuheju is one of the most famous restaurants in Chang'an City, and the topic of diners is naturally inseparable from this matter.

"Rejoice! It's so exciting! That guy from Changsun Chong always brought a group of Wenchen children to fight against us, and he always looked down on us, but I didn't expect their family to have today. ”

A young man with a majestic figure and a meaty face let out a hearty laugh as he took a sip of a large bowl of wine.

"Chu Mo, I always felt that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was sick, although he didn't mix with the children of Wenchen, but he also ignored us Wuxun's children, so I didn't treat him very much, but from now on, when I see him again, I think I can have a good chat."

It was Yu Chihuan who spoke, and he was Cheng Chumo's hardcore friend.

Originally, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong, as Li Shimin's cronies and generals, had a very good relationship.

The age difference between the two children's children is not much, so it is no wonder that they have an iron relationship.

Well, the legendary four evils of Chang'an, each of them occupies a place.

"The King of Chu used to be more interested in dancing and writing, and we are willing to get close to him, and he is willing to accept it when he doesn't see him."

Cheng Chuliang is obviously a little more pessimistic than his eldest brother and Wei Chihuan.

"What does he do so much. Anyway, as long as I can make the eldest grandson's family uncomfortable and make the eldest grandson chong uncomfortable, that is my friend Cheng Chumo, and I will definitely have a few drinks with him next time I have the opportunity. ”

"Brother Chu Mo is right, some time ago, His Royal Highness the King of Chu left a famous sentence in the Qinglou, 'Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan is not a cloud', it is said that many girls have become interested in him. If he is willing to follow us, maybe we won't be despised next time we go to Yihong Mansion. ”

Wei Chihuan showed a lewd smile that everyone understood.

……

Housing.

"Grandpa, this time the eldest grandson's family is embarrassed."

As Fang Xuanling's eldest son, Fang Yizhi naturally knew that his father and eldest grandson Wuji often disagreed politically.

Although it cannot be said that the two people have any deep hatred, the relationship is not harmonious at all.

Of course, on the surface, everyone still talked and laughed.

They are all successful people, and they are all important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and they still have this acting skills.

"This His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this time is really unexpected, I originally thought he was a loser, but I didn't expect to slap everyone as soon as I turned around."

Fang Xuanling didn't pay much attention to Li Kuan before, and most of his impressions were still on the gentlemen.

In fact, this is also the impression that Li Kuan gives to most people.

"I heard that the eldest grandson's family sent someone to the palace of the king of Chu and wanted to buy the coal mine back at double the price, but it turned out that he didn't even see the face of the king of Chu."

"Humph! Double the price, it's so sincere! If this is an ordinary businessman, he really wouldn't dare to refuse this request of the eldest grandson's family, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a unique identity, as long as His Majesty is still there, he will not be afraid of the eldest grandson Wuji at all. ”

There are only two fathers and sons in the study, so Fang Xuanling speaks relatively straight, and there is no need to beat around the bush.

After a tiring day, if you go home and have to pretend like this, it will be too bad to live.

"yes. I heard that the core figure of the Fanyang Lu family went to the Chu Palace, and the price was 200,000 yuan, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not agree to sell it. When I bought it for 30,000 yuan, the eldest grandson's family estimated that they were going to be happy, but now how long has it been, it has multiplied several times, and the key is that it can't be bought back. ”

Fang Yizhi has always appeared in front of everyone in the form of a humble gentleman, and the nobles also have a high evaluation of the eldest son of the prime minister.

But it doesn't mean that he is just a pedantic scholar who "Confucius says Chengren and Meng says righteousness" every day.

"Coal is not a thing that only exists around Chang'an City, but there are also many in Taiyuan. But this thing is not easy to transport, if you transport it to Chang'an from other places, even if you don't pay a penny for the coal itself, the freight alone makes this matter meaningless. That's why the coal mines outside Chang'an are of great significance. ”

Fang Xuanling saw the essence of the problem at once.

It is impossible for Li Kuan to monopolize Datang's coal mines, and in fact there is no need.

Chang'an City will have a population of more than one million in the future, and as long as it firmly occupies this market, it will be enough for a big family to live comfortably.

Besides, he vaguely heard that the Chu Wangfu had sent people to Luoyang and Taiyuan to buy coal mines some time ago.

These three places are the most developed cities in Datang, and there is no one.

As long as the Chu Wangfu has a firm foothold in these three cities, Li Kuan will spend every day drinking and drinking, and he doesn't have to worry about the Chu Wangfu being defeated.

And judging from his recent performance, the King of Chu doesn't look like a person who only knows how to spend time and drink.

"This is where the child admires His Royal Highness the King of Chu the most, if he doesn't make a move, he will buy all the coal mines in the hundreds of miles around Chang'an City, even if it is a cheap coal mine that no one cared about before."

"To be able to benefit yourself, and at the same time to benefit the people, honeycomb coal, there is no one in Chang'an City who can rob the king of Chu, otherwise let alone what the king of Chu will do, even His Majesty will not be able to spare him."

"Yes, I heard that the eldest grandson's family not only sold the coal mine to the King of Chu, but also the limestone mine, I don't know if His Royal Highness the King of Chu will be able to play tricks with the limestone mine that is not of great use in the future."

"Who knows, everyone thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is a fool, and in the end, who is stupid and who is smart, everyone knows in their hearts!"
