Chang'an City is very large, and Chang'an City is also very small.

The eldest grandson's family sold the chicken-like coal mine to Li Kuan, the king of Chu, at a high price, and the news soon spread throughout the nobles.

"The head of the family, all the contracts have been signed, and the county government of Chang'an County has been left behind, even if the King of Chu wants to regret it, it is useless."

The eldest grandson Kuanqiang endured joy and reported to the eldest grandson Wuji about the purchase and sale of the mine.

"It's a good job, these coal mines are simply tasteless, and it's a pity to abandon them. Over the years, I haven't brought any income to my family at all, and it is a blessing to be able to sell it at a higher price than when I bought it. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is not an ordinary person, but he can't know that Li Kuan can make new tricks in the coal mine, so like the head of the house, Sun Kuan, he is very satisfied with this deal.

"After careful calculation, these mining families still earn tens of thousands of yuan, and it is not easy to meet a wronged leader like King Chu."

"Is this money really from Li Kuan's seller?"

What Li Kuan has done these days, the eldest grandson Wuji has also heard of it, but he still can't believe that Li Kuan sold all the Chu Palaces short, and the purpose is to buy coal mines.

If Li Zhiyun had knowledge under the spring, he should have broken the ground, right?

"It's true, even the actual operator of this transaction is Wang Fugui, a merchant in the West Market, and the things in the Chu Wangfu are all sold to him."

"The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each with its own differences. They are all the heirs of His Majesty, and the gap between His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the crown prince is too big. ”

……

Chu Wangfu.

Li Kuan looked at the pile of land deeds in front of him and showed a satisfied smile.

I'm also a miner!

"Lord Wang, these coal mines are useless at all, only the poor people who can't survive will buy some coal mines and go back to burn them for heating, but if you are not careful, you will be poisoned by carbon, and there were several incidents last winter because of this reason alone."

Although I have already bought it, Laifu is still a little unwilling.

"Uncle Laifu, don't worry, this king has his own plans. These coal mines are of no use at all in the hands of the eldest grandson's family, but in the hands of this king, they are different. ”

Li Kuan remembers very well that in the 90s, honeycomb coal was used almost everywhere in the country, and coal burning was the main means of heating, but at that time it was honeycomb coal burned.

And what Li Kuan has to do now is to get honeycomb coal and honeycomb coal stoves out.

It's not difficult at all.

It's just that no one has thought of doing this before.

In other words, people in the past could not understand the cause of carbon toxicity, and naturally could not find an effective solution.

"Xue Li, you go with me to the outside of the city, and I will go and arrange it myself."

……

Tai Chi Palace.

"Son, what a son! I thought he had changed his ways, but I didn't expect it to become even worse. ”

What Li Kuan did naturally couldn't escape the attention of the Hundred Cavalry Division, and Li Shimin's face turned blue after listening to Li Zhong's report.

"Your Majesty, most of the things are still in the hands of that businessman named Wang Fugui, or Weichen will ...... it."

"What are you going to do? Didn't you say that they had signed the agreement in black and white very clearly, besides, so many nobles in Chang'an City were watching, even if I stopped, would Kuan'er's reputation be better? ”

Li Shimin had an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel, "In addition to buying a mine, what is that son of a scumbag still doing?" ”

"There is no special movement in the Chu Palace, but a group of craftsmen have been recruited around the courtyard of the King of Chu outside the city, and I don't know what they are busy with."

As the most powerful intelligence agency in Datang, the Baiqi Division is very clear about the movements of many ministers, but it is not omnipotent.

"Your Majesty, Fang Xiang and Dai Gong are asking to see you outside."

Before Li Shimin could continue to ask, a little eunuch came to report the news.

"Forget it, just let that son of a wreck toss, I want to see what tricks he can toss. If I can't give me a satisfactory explanation by then, don't blame me for imprisoning him! ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and prepared to summon Fang Xuanling and them.

The etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, as long as it is not a special occasion, is actually very simple, and it is not like the braids of later generations to kneel at every turn.

After Fang Xuanling and Dai Xuan gave Li Shimin a simple salute, they immediately got to the point.

"Your Majesty, this year's February is much colder than usual, and it seems to have a feeling of falling into the cold spring. Chang'an County and Wannian County have seen people freeze to death, and Qin Tianjian predicts that there will be heavy snow in the next few days. ”

Fang Xuanling talked about things with a sad face.

Chang'an City in February, even when the climate warmed up in later generations, was still very cold, let alone in Datang.

However, such a situation like this year is relatively rare.

"Because many people have almost run out of charcoal in their homes, if it gets colder in the next period of time, it will ...... by then."

Dai Guan, as the secretary of the household department, has always been very concerned about the situation of the people, and when he encounters the current situation, the most anxious is the household department.

No matter how the imperial court responds, the household department will definitely not be able to escape.

Fang Xuanling: "Your Majesty, it is said that the price of charcoal in the West Market has risen by fifty percent recently, and if it snows again, it is estimated that it will continue to rise." Not to mention whether the supply is sufficient, even at this price, ordinary people can't afford to burn it. ”

Dai Guan: "Yes, charcoal is too expensive, mainly because it is not resistant to burning. ”

Fang Xuanling and Dai Xuan, you said a word, and I told Li Shimin the problem.

"In the event of a disaster, how much money can the household department allocate for disaster relief?"

Li Shimin didn't have any particularly good way, so he could only start with the worst outcome and consider the disposal plan.

"Your Majesty, every payment of the household department has already been arranged, and suddenly a sum of money will be transferred out......"

Dai Xuan looked worried, don't look at him, the head of the household, who is in charge of the entire Datang Dynasty's money bag, but in fact, there are not many silver coins that can be freely disposed of.

"Your Majesty, the expenses of the household department are fixed, and the disaster situation is estimated to be not small, and it may be difficult to rely on the household alone. But ......"

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling's slightly embarrassed smile, and seemed to feel a little wrong, "But what?"

"I heard that at the end of last year, a large amount of silver money was newly purchased in the inner treasury, can you borrow a sum of money to the household department first......

Fang Xuanling couldn't say it anymore, Li Shimin, as an emperor, still has a relatively clear distinction between public and private, and generally does not use the money from the treasury to handle his own private affairs.

Now it's the idea of playing Neku......

Hearing that Fang Xuanling actually hit his inner library with his idea, Li Shimin's face immediately turned bad.

It's not that Li Shimin is stingy or doesn't care about the lives of the people, it's really that what these ministers do is a bit ......

"Is there any other way? Is there no good way to solve the heating problem of ordinary people? ”
