British Mansion.

This year's New Year's Day of the British Mansion can be said to be the most lively New Year's Day, Li Ji, who was originally going out of the door to visit other colleagues, didn't have to go out of the door, accompanied Cheng Yanjin, and more than a dozen of their generals gathered in the main hall and began to eat and drink.

It's just that all of their minds are not here, but a courtyard not far away.

In the courtyard, Empress Changsun, Li Lizhi and Li Yue'e went to the back wing room to whisper to women, while Li Shimin pulled Li Kong to the front of a pond that had long been frozen behind the courtyard.

"Tell me, what the hell is it? Let me tell you, if you don't give me an explanation today, believe it or not, I'll kick you to death? ”

Li Shimin stared at Li Kong's eyes, although he had to admit that Li Kong was a talent, but the girl he had raised for more than ten years made him very unhappy in front of so many people in front of Li Kong's cold and warm feelings, coupled with the things that the eldest grandson Chong had made, Li Shimin is now in a state of anger.

Li Kong rubbed his hands, spit out a breath of air towards the palm of his hand, and said, "Uncle Li, it's snowing again, it's still a long time before the beginning of spring, and I don't know if there are any people who freeze to death in Datang this year?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Li Kong took a deep breath and said, "Every winter is a purgatory for us, and we don't know how many people freeze to death, so my little nephew is wondering these days, can I get something out to ward off the cold?" Not to mention, the little nephew really figured out something. ”

"Let's talk about it first!" Li Shimin is interested, Taiji Palace is also very cold, and their life is not very good, so the warm clothes and the like are not particularly good every year, so there are many fires in the palace every year, the reason is that some palace ladies and chamberlains are burning bonfires to keep warm.

For lighting a fire in the palace, both Li Shimin and Li Yuan acquiesced, or in other words, the emperors of all dynasties had a tacit attitude towards this kind of thing, otherwise people in the palace would freeze to death, and this situation would not be completely solved until the Southern Song Dynasty.

So after hearing Li Kong's words, Li Shimin still had a little expectation in his heart.

Li Kong exhaled a breath of turbidity, just now he really scared him a lot, Li Shimin shouted Li Li's tone was too heavy, now it seems that there is basically no problem, I knew that taking down Li Lizhi would make Li Shimin, the emperor with a daughter's control mentality, react so much, Li Kong had already slipped away, thinking about his future life, he suddenly had a feeling of fear, should Li Shimin do the same after getting married?

But it's better to solve the problem at hand first.

After sorting out his thoughts, he spoke: "The little nephew took a little white stack of flowers in the palace some time ago, and then tried to do it, and found that if this kind of white stack flower can remove the seeds inside, and then sew it up with a strip of cloth, it will have a very good warmth effect."

In addition to white stacks, goose down is also a very good warm material, but this is more difficult to get, a large amount of goose down is not what we can get now, so the little nephew thought about whether it was possible to get a place to raise geese? Specializing in goose down?

Finally, it is the ink stone, this little nephew looked through some local gazetteers, and found that there are many open-pit ink stone mines in Shanxi, can we mine these ink stones, and then transport them to the entire Tang Dynasty? ”

Li Shimin squinted, looked at Li Kong in front of him, and said, "This is the method you said about warding off the cold and wintering?" ”

Li Kong shrugged, Bai Diezi This thing was passed from Gaochang, but the number is pitiful, except for a few in the palace, there are more or less planted around Chang'an, and these words alone, not to mention benefiting the whole country, one Chang'an City is not enough.

As for goose down? That thing is even more unreliable, at least what Li Kong said is unrealistic.

So Li Shimin directly grasped the key point in Li Kong's words, that is, inkstone, that is, coal, but Li Shimin, who started in Taiyuan, is too clear about the inkstone reserves in Shanxi, and it is already very difficult to supply a Shanxi, let alone ship it to the entire Tang Dynasty, so he has a slight feeling of disappointment with Li Kong.

Of course, he also knew that this feeling should not be there, after all, Li Kong was only sixteen years old now, and it was very good to think of these at this age, but Li Kong had the impression that he was almost omnipotent, and compared with the previous ones, Li Kong's performance this time was indeed a little unsatisfactory.

Li Kong was stunned for a moment and said, "Uncle Li thinks it's not feasible?" ”

"Hehe, do you think it's feasible? Let's not talk about the white stacks and goose down you said, let's talk about Moshi, that thing is pitiful, how can it supply the entire Tang Dynasty? Now even those family gate valves can't use ink stone as charcoal, as a baby, you still supply the entire Datang? Believe it or not, I dismantled you and sprinkled it all over Datang? Li Shimin sneered.

Li Kongle was happy, hugged his fists and said: "Uncle Li's words are wrong, as far as the little nephew knows, not to mention other places for the time being, the output of ink stone in Shanxi alone is enough to make all the people of the entire Tang Dynasty burn for thousands of years and not be used up." ”

"What's the proof?"

"The little nephew is willing to personally preside over the mining of the ink stone, if this task is not completed, the little nephew will dispose of it at will with Uncle Li, but the little nephew needs to say in advance that the benefits generated by the ink stone are too great, once the little nephew's work is effective, it will inevitably cause some people's eyes, so ......"

"I have my own consideration for this matter, if it is really as you say, I will give you a thousand Xuanjia guards as guards to ensure your safety, before that, you still have to do what to do!"

“……”

Are you disgusted?

Li Kong looked at Li Shimin's distant figure and was speechless for a while.

After a long time, he sighed deeply and muttered: "The people of this era are really simple, but those coal mines must be grasped as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no hope for such an opportunity in the future." ”

As a latecomer, no one knows better than Li Kong the profits brought by coal mines, which is faster than printing money to get money, if he can grasp the entire Shanxi, no, half of Shanxi's coal mines in his hands, it will be enough for him to completely crush all the family valves in terms of wealth.

"No, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, today no matter what, we must take the ownership of all coal mines in Shanxi!" Li Kong frowned and muttered, and then quickly chased after Li Shimin.

Not far away, Li Shimin carried his hands behind his back, letting the cold wind blow on him, and his brain kept flashing what Li Kong had just said.

The ink stone is not advisable, and the goose down can't be made, but if the white stack can really keep warm, it's not that it can't be operated, after all, Gao Chang seems to be a little dishonest now.

Li Shimin's war blood began to jump again......
