Chapter 1070: A New Business for the Commoners!
Yongle Fang, the main hall of the Li Mansion.
After agreeing to the request of Li Chengqian and Li Tai brothers to install heating, Li Zexuan thought about it and said:
"Perhaps! Cheng Qian, you send a master who will be the supervisor to the workshop to find Fu Bo, Fu Bo will teach him the specific production and installation methods of heating, and then the general will take the lead in installing heating in the palace! ”
Because Li Zexuan didn't plan to do the heating business now, he didn't mind handing over this roughest and most primitive heating manufacturing method to Li Er's people at all.
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, and then he was very moved and said, "Thank you!" But Xiao Xuan, don't worry, even if the craftsman who will be the supervisor knows how to make the heating, he won't leak it out! ”
This kid also attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and knows that he can't ruin Li Zexuan's business because of his selfish desires.
Li Zexuan smiled nonchalantly, and then he looked at Li Tai and said, "Qingque, is there something wrong with you coming to me at noon?" ”
Li Tai was stunned, and finally remembered the purpose of his coming over today, he quickly sat up straight, and said to Li Zexuan: "Yes, yes, yes!" Something is true! Chief, after so many days of running around, the students of our academy have basically run out of the list given by the local government! But when everyone was delivering the coal stove, they found that many people who were not on the list had a hard time! And I heard from the people of the third brigade that there is still a lot of money left on the foundation's books, and the mountain chief, can you see if you can expand the scope of the coal furnace again~? ”
Li Zexuan couldn't help but hear this, and secretly said in his heart What a coincidence, he just talked about it with Han Yuxi in the morning, and the little fat man came over at noon, for the same thing, but the little fat man came over for a real trip, because he rubbed a meal and a set of heating equipment. Thinking of this, he spoke:
"I already know about this matter, and I think it should be that the officials of the state capitals and county governments are unwilling to do much, and only write the particularly poor ones on the list! I plan to ask Qingque you to take some students and go to the county government again, and order them to be sure to screen in detail again, if anyone misses the report, I will report it to Your Majesty, and let the officials lower their examination classes this year! ”
Li Tai waved his fist and said with an indignant expression: "Hey! What is the matter? It turned out that some officials did not act! Wait, mountain chief, I'll look for them again!" ”
Li Zexuan hurriedly said: "Eh! Stand! Wait a minute! ”
Hearing this, Li Tai paused.
I only heard Li Zexuan say again: "It was originally a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good, Qingque, don't rely on your identity to make a bad thing!" ”
"Ugh! Not really! ”
"In addition to this, there is one more thing! Qingque, you also said earlier that the foundation has a lot of money left in its account, so I plan to send some clothes and food to the poor people in addition to coal stoves and honeycomb coal in the future to help them survive the winter! ”
When Li Tai heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Haha! This is good! Mountain chief, you don't know, in fact, there were many students before, and when they saw that those people were really pitiful, they gave those people some money! These days, many students have not only contributed their efforts, but also contributed money! Ha ha! ”
Li Zexuan couldn't help but secretly praise the first students of Yanhuang Academy in his heart, and his character is really good!
"Hmmm! Tell the students that those who have given money to the people these days will all report it and let the third team count it, and then when it happens, I will return all the money to them! ”
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said magnificently.
"Haha! This is good! I'll go back to the Foundation first, Captain Mountain! ”
After drinking and eating, and the things that should be said have been said, Li Tai said goodbye and left. Li Zexuan set his sights on Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian's face was embarrassed at this time, and he said, "Ahem! If it weren't for Qingque, I almost forgot that I came here today to tell Xiao Xuan about something! ”
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "What's the matter~?" ”
Li Chengqian said slowly: "Recently, when I was in the palace, I could often hear the news that the students of Yanhuang Academy were running around to help the needy. My father is always in charge of everything, and he may not have the intention to pay attention to these things, but as a prince alone, he also wants to do more for this matter, Xiao Xuan, do you see if there is still a shortage of manpower on your side? There are 100 guards in the East Palace, 30 chamberlains, and more than 50 carriages and horses for you to deploy! ”
He didn't come here to eat today, this was the main purpose of his coming to Li's house, but after he came, he was attracted by the hot pot and heating, so he forgot his purpose!
Li Chengqian has said this part, how can Li Zexuan disagree? He laughed, "Yes! It just so happens that the tasks on the shoulders of the students will become heavier in the future, so take care of those people in your East Palace, and hand it over to Qingque to deploy later! ”
One more person is one more strength, not to mention that the guards of the East Palace can be regarded as good kung fu, and one guard can almost be worth three students! After the scope of the "warmth" crowd expanded, the Foundation was just short of manpower, and with the Donggong people joining, it is estimated that this "Warm Winter Action" will be completed before the year!
"Good! Then I'll take my leave! ”
Li Chengqian got up and arched his hand and said.
He originally came to send people off this time, but in the end, it can be said that he has a good harvest, not only can he get the hot pot method, but also the heating! This trip was really worth it!
.…………………………
After Li Chengqian left, Mo Zhong came to deliver a message, saying that Sun Simiao had something to find him, and Li Zexuan had to get into the carriage and go to Yunshan!
"Sell flax cakes! Fragrant and crispy flax cakes! Sanwen one! Sanwen one! ”
As soon as the carriage left the gate of Yongle Fang, Li Zexuan heard the sound of a grandmother selling outside the car window, which made him stunned, because it stands to reason that this kind of small trader wandering around rarely comes out in winter!
And it's still selling flax cakes, so it's even more impossible! Because this thing gets cold fast in winter, and there is no cheap means of heat preservation in this era, who will buy it!
(This flax cake is baked with sesame seeds and flour, among which the Tang Dynasty Chang'an Fu and Fang made more excellent, the poet Bai Juyi once wrote for this "flax cake all learn from Kyoto, the flour is crispy and fragrant and newly baked", developed to later generations, and gradually evolved into baked cakes)
Thinking of this, Li Zexuan hurriedly asked Sanbao to stop, he jumped out of the carriage, and looked curiously in the direction of the grandmother who had just sold flax cakes.
The scene in front of him suddenly stunned Li Zexuan!
I saw that the grandmother was pushing a wooden cart, there was a coal stove on the car, and there was an iron pot on the stove, and the pot was steaming and fragrant, and there were many people in front of her who came to buy flax cakes!
Depend on! Isn't this similar to the vendors on the street who pushed a small cart and sold roasted sweet potatoes from the stove in the cart in later generations?
In the final analysis, it is because honeycomb coal has replaced charcoal and has become a more economical fuel, otherwise this grandma would not have pushed the cart out to sell flax cakes! Otherwise, the charcoal burning money for this day would be enough for her!
"Hey! Young Master Ben has inadvertently opened up a new business for the people! ”
Li Zexuan thought proudly in his heart.

The five is gone, the third is still there, and the hand hurts....
