Chapter 33 is untitled

After lunch, Li Chongyi lay on the sofa and rubbed his stomach with one hand, looked at Li Xiang, who was standing not far away and playing with Li Ju, and shouted, "Xiang'er, go and pour a glass of water for your uncle." ”

Li Xiang let out an "oh".

"Xiang'er, ignore him." Li Shen shouted, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and said to Li Chongyi, "You have really become an uncle." ”

Li Xiang laughed twice at Li Chongyi.

"It won't do you even if you tell your son." Li Chongyi said lazily.

"The water is placed in front of you and you can't be moved?" Li Shen stood up and said angrily.

"I'm bored, and I don't know what's going on these days?" Li Chongyi replied.

Li Shen walked over, picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water, handed it to him, and said, "Drink it." ”

Li Shen still likes Li Chongyi's arrogant personality, regardless of identity, he can still maintain his original attitude, which makes him really happy, unlike other people, even Qin Huaiyu He has changed a lot about himself now.

Li Chongyi smiled and stretched out his hand to take it, and said, "It's still my brother." ”

Li Shen shook his head, feeling that Li Chongyi was a child who didn't grow up.

"By the way, brother, Qin Huaiyu, what are they doing all these days? Why don't you see them coming to the academy for classes? ”

"Arrange for them to go out on business."

"Brother, it's not me talking about you, how can I say that I'm also your brother, no matter how good things come to them, let me learn these boring things here all day long, I really can't figure it out, what do you want me to do by letting me learn these things? I'm suffocating to death. Li Chongyi said pleadingly.

Li Shen looked at him with a smile and said, "That's all you can do, and it's for your own good to let you stay in the academy and learn a little more knowledge." ”

"But I don't want to! I just want to live a little more comfortably and do something I love. Li Chongyi wailed and said, then sat up, bent down and said with a smile: "Brother, what is that thing outside you, is there a way to make money again?" ”

Li Shen glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said, "This time the matter will be handled by the imperial court, and you can't get involved." ”

After a pause, he said, "If you really want to, you can go and assist Wu Meiniang to deal with this matter." ”

Li Chongyi rolled his eyes and said, "Then forget it, let me be a big man behind a woman, if you kill me, I don't want to." ”

"Then you can stay in the academy with peace of mind, learn knowledge, even if you are a free prince, you still learn the necessary things, so that you don't understand anything in the future."

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the weeds on the ground were pulled out in a situation that Li Shen didn't even know, and handed over the arranged things to Wu Meiniang to come out, Li Shen also began to pick up the books slowly when he was free, checking all kinds of knowledge on the books, and by the way, teaching Li Xiang and Li Ju the two children at night.

One after another, the holy decree was posted at every intersection of Chang'an City, and suddenly the entire Chang'an City was boiling, and the imperial court actually ordered that no firewood should be used to cook in the city in the future, what kind of briquettes are used for cooking, and what are the briquettes?

"You know what's going on here? Why don't you let the people chop wood and burn it, so how can we live in the future? A man who didn't know how to read asked loudly at the notice board, a young man beside him.

"I don't know, why don't you let the wood chop if it's so good? How will you live after this? I also hope that I can cut more firewood every year and sell it to subsidize my family. The young man replied.

"Alas, this court still doesn't let people live, and it's a big joke that this firewood is not burned."

"Yes! What briquettes to burn. ”

"Do you know what a briquette is?"

The crowd shook their heads.

A young man in a rough cloth suit came over and shouted to the crowd: "Let me go, let me take a look, and I'll explain to you when I'm done." ”

"It turned out to be a great talent from the Chen family." A middle-aged man said with a smile, and then shouted loudly: "Everyone, let Chen Dacai come and take a look." ”

"Uncle Zhang, what are you doing here? Look down on the little nephew. Chen Xuewen said with some dissatisfaction.

"Don't dare, don't dare, come and explain to the big guy." Uncle Zhang, a middle-aged man, said with a smile.

The crowd got out of the way, Chen Xuewen walked in, looked at the content written on the imperial list, waited for a while, turned around, and shouted loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, now I will explain to you the content on the imperial list......"

"Xuewen, what are you talking about? This doesn't allow the people to burn firewood, what do the people do for cooking? A silver-haired grandmother took Chen Xuewen's hand and asked.

"Old lady, what are you anxious about, Xuewen, this kid hasn't said yet, besides, the court doesn't let the people cut down trees and cook at will, and they will definitely come up with a way to solve it." The middle-aged aunt beside her said to the old lady.

"Xuewen, why are you stunned, hurry up and say it! You want to kill everyone in a hurry! ”

"Here's the thing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has invented a thing that can be used as firewood for cooking, so it has canceled everyone's use of firewood for cooking, saying that the excessive development of trees is not good for the environment, and it is easy to cause the passage of water and soil, and the use of firewood for cooking, the entire Chang'an City is shrouded in a puff of black smoke, in order to improve the environment of Chang'an City, so it is best not to use firewood to cook in the future, and it is not mandatory for everyone, such as hotel teahouses and green buildings." Chen Xuewen explained.

Everyone spit out when they heard this, but fortunately, fortunately, they didn't force everyone to cook without firewood.

"But ......"

"But what? Can you finish the conversation in one sitting? Uncle Zhang, a middle-aged man, glared at Chen Xuewen and said.

"It said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hopes that everyone can use this briquette to cook, and it is also for everyone's good, saying that this briquette cooking is not easy to cause the danger of fire, and it also said that the young people and men in the whole Chang'an City who are engaged in chopping wood can go to a restaurant to participate in the work arranged by the imperial court, and they will be the ones who eat the emperor's grain in the future."

"What do you say? Eat imperial food? The crowd asked aloud in disbelief.

Suddenly, the scene became noisy, eat the imperial grain! This is simply unbelievable, a person who chops wood and sells can actually eat the emperor's grain, and he doesn't believe anything when he says it, but the emperor's list is clearly written, and it is impossible to deceive everyone. Many people began to have small ideas in their hearts, anyway, His Royal Highness doesn't know if they cut firewood and sell it, and being able to eat the emperor's grain is a matter of glory to the ancestors!
