Hour Yongfang, Li Ge old alley.

"Big brother, go to class?"

Refusing Zhu Houzhao's arrangement, Li Zhao trotted back from the imperial city on the same road, and at the mouth of this alley, he met Li Zhaoxian.

According to the development of Li Zhaotong's "memory", Li Zhaoxian, who had always been in poor health, would die of illness in July of the 14th year of Hongzhi.

Therefore, in order to allow him to live longer, since some time ago, Li Zhaotong has guided Li Zhaoxian to strengthen his body in the name of Lao Tzu.

Therefore, from that time on, Li Zhaoxian didn't want to take the carriage to Guozijian, he needed to take the guards all the way to walk briskly or jog over.

Therefore, Li Zhaotong and Li Zhaoxian met face-to-face at the mouth of the alley.

"Are you alright?"

The fact that Li Zhaotong was taken away by Xiao Jing early in the morning shook the entire Li Mansion, but Xiao Jing didn't explain what the reason was, but just took Li Zhaotong away in a hurry.

Therefore, except for the Zhu family, everyone else in the Li Mansion is not particularly worried.

After all, if something really went wrong, then Xiao Jing would not have come to take Li Zhao as a young man, but the entire Li Mansion would have to be arrested.

"It's okay! That is, I was spanked fifty times in the buttocks, and it didn't hurt at all. Li Zhaotong replied with a grin.

However, Li Zhaoxian lost his voice:

"Fifty of the staff?! Are you okay? ”

Li Zhaoxian walked behind Li Zhaotong suspiciously and watched Li Zhaotong's ...... carefully Buttocks.

Li Zhaotong was suddenly stared at by him very uncomfortable, and immediately said:

"Oops! Big brother, you're stupid to read! Will you be beaten to death at fifty of your staff?

That's the treatment that only officials who have made a big mistake will get, your brother and I, an honest and well-behaved person, will make a big mistake?

My fifty rods are for show! ”

"Oh, it's okay! Then I'm going to Guozijian for class, you go back quickly, the fourth uncle seems to be in a hurry to find you! ”

Li Zhaoxian's face was slightly red.

"Fourth uncle, is there something wrong with his body?" Li Zhaotong blurted out.

"You're in trouble! I said second brother, don't always talk about our poor health, otherwise this matter will spread out, and others will think that there is something wrong with our Li family's feng shui! ”

"It's good that there is no problem, big brother, go to class quickly! It's not good to be late! ”

Li Zhaotong didn't want to take Li Zhaoxian's words, because the Li family's feng shui might really have a problem!

How so?

Because of the luck of the Li family, all of them were taken up by Li Dongyang alone, forming a pattern of "Heavenly Evil Lone Star".

If it weren't for Li Zhaotong's variable, Li Dongyang would have killed a total of three brothers, three sons, two wives, and three daughters!

In the end, only his stepson Li Zhaofan and his wife Zhu survived.

Others either died young, or died of illness at a young age!

Among them, Li Zhaotong's fourth uncle Li Dongming, that is, Li Zhaofan's biological father, if there is no variable of Li Zhaotong, he will die in the coming April!

Therefore, after noticing this, Li Zhaotong immediately leaked the secret of heaven in the name of Lao Tzu, saying that Li Dongming may not live until April this year, and if Li Dongming wants to break the mandate of heaven and not be accepted by the king of Hades, he must move into the Li Mansion and live by his side from time to time.

Therefore, Li Dongming moved from Wuwu Village outside Xizhimen to the Li Mansion in the old alley of Li Ge.

……

"Fourth uncle, I heard that you have an urgent matter to find your little nephew?"

After Li Zhaotong greeted the Zhu family, he came to the courtyard where Li Dongming lived.

"Erlang, you're finally back, sit down first!"

Li Dongyang's family is all from Jinwu Zuowei, but because Li Dongyang's father Li Chun is a private school teacher and has not joined the army, Li Dongyang's four brothers are all cultural people and are not frivolous.

Li Zhaotong was a little frizzy, he was not polite, his butt sat directly on the right hand side of Li Dongming, and then he lay down and continued to ask:

"Fourth uncle, what's the matter? Is it related to Xishan Coal Industry? ”

Li Zhaotong asked this because in addition to his illness and Xishan Coal Industry, he couldn't think of any urgency for Li Dongming to find him, so it was impossible for him to tell himself about the matchmaker, right?

No way!

Only Xishan Coal Industry is worthy of Li Dongming to find himself, because Li Dongming is the big shopkeeper of Xishan Coal Industry!

This is because when Li Dongming moved into the Li Mansion, he learned that Li Zhaotong was looking for Mr. Accounts in the Mansion.

Li Dongming thinks that although he is far inferior to his eldest brother in talent and ability, he feels that he can still manage the money for His Majesty and his nephew.

So he recommended himself to Li Zhaotong and Mao.

Li Zhaotong, on the other hand, thought that he would not be able to find any outstanding management talents for a while, and since the fourth uncle Mao recommended himself, he simply did not do anything and appointed him as the chief treasurer of Xishan Coal Industry.

"It's really related to Xishan Coal."

Li Dongming nodded, then poured tea for himself and Li Zhaotong, took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued:

"Erlang, the price of pig iron on the market has risen sharply recently, and our honeycomb coal furnace has suffered a loss!"

"Pig iron prices have skyrocketed?" Li Zhaotong was puzzled: "The amount of iron used by our Xishan coal industry is very large, but it is not enough to make the price of pig iron skyrocket in a short period of time!"

Moreover, the popularity of our Xishan coal industry is seen by people, and those merchants, seeing that we use a large amount of iron, did not go to other places to transport pig iron? ”

"Yes, many merchants have already hit the road, but now the amount of pig iron on the market has decreased dramatically, and they can't wait for pig iron from other places to be delivered."

"Why? Who is targeting Xishan Coal? Don't they even take His Majesty seriously? ”

Li Zhaotong is a person who understands some market economy, and when this happens, he can already conclude that there is a mastermind behind the scenes.

"This matter should be done by the Zhang brothers." Li Dongming replied.

"Shou Ning Hou and Jian Changbo?"

"Hmm."

"But I don't have anything to do with them! Why are these two brothers hoarding pig iron?

Not afraid of being impeached and plotting rebellion?

Aren't you afraid that after pig iron from other places is delivered, the price will fall at a loss?

Do they also want to make honeycomb coal? But do they have the technology? ”

Li Zhaotong was puzzled.

"Impeachment, the Zhang brothers are definitely not afraid, they are protected by the queen.

technology, the Zhang brothers definitely don't have it! No one in the Xishan coal industry dares to sell the coal washing technology of honeycomb coal.

The Zhang brothers did this, it should be that our Xishan Coal Industry offended them. ”

"Offended them? I didn't offend them, I didn't have anything to do with them, is it the prince? ”

Li Zhaotong remembered the Shouchang Gambling House, so an idea popped up in his mind:

That dog-shitty prince won't really go to his two uncles who slammed the door!

Then the dog forced the prince to win money in the Shouchang gambling house, and said unabashedly that he had guided him, so that Xishan Coal Industry attracted the revenge of the Zhang brothers?

"This matter has nothing to do with you or the crown prince." Li Dongming was not in a hurry and explained:

"I've heard your father mention that this matter should be related to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty?"

"Well, your father said that some time ago, His Majesty went out on patrol, and on the way to Xishan Coal Mine, he met a homeless person who came from Miyun to join our Xishan Coal Industry.

The homeless people complained to His Majesty, saying that they had fled from their hometowns, and they were all forced by the Marquis of Shouning.

Therefore, after His Majesty returned, he summoned the Marquis of Shouning, and then punished the Marquis of Shouning and confiscated the land owned by the Marquis of Shouning in Miyun.

Your father reminded me at the time and asked me to pay attention to the movements of the Zhang brothers. ”

"And then the Zhang brothers really moved? Ignoring His Majesty's warnings, he took revenge on Xishan Coal Industry? ”

"Well, they hoarded pig iron on a large scale, forcing the price of pig iron to rise sharply, and they also released a word, asking our Xishan Coal Industry to buy the pig iron in their hands at the current market price, and hand over the complainant, otherwise they will not die!"

"This ...... It's lawless! ”

Li Zhaotong really felt speechless for these two superb brothers, these two superlatives, under the pretext that His Majesty only favored Empress Zhang, they acted nonsense, and even His Majesty didn't pay attention to them.

It is no wonder that these two best brothers in "Memory" were later disliked by Zhu Houzhao, which made Zhu Houzhao want to kill these two uncles very much, but he let them go because of the face of the old lady, but in the end, these two best brothers were still killed alive by Zhu Houxi, who was not close to them.

"Erlang, the brothers of the Zhang family are protected by the queen, even if they are lawless, we can't control it.

The top priority now is to deal with the sharp rise in pig iron prices, which has led to the loss of honeycomb coal furnaces.

Do we ignore the threat of the Zhang brothers, or do we negotiate peace with the Zhang brothers?

Is it to increase the price of honeycomb coal furnaces, or to continue to sell at a loss?

We have to come up with a suitable solution to deal with these as soon as possible! ”
