With the increase in demand for coal in Yizhou, the output of Yizhou coal mine has been unable to meet the use of Yizhou, so Li Su bought coal from Hedong Road, which is rich in coal production, thinking that many of the coal mines there are open-pit coal mines, and the mining is very easy, and because of the distance, Li Su used to let Jin Daqian buy the coal mine that was not opened, and has been there, but he did not expect to be occupied.

Leaving the dormitory, Li Su arrived at the council hall, and after a while, Jin Daqian rushed over, and when he saw Li Su, Jin Daqian stood with his hands down, and said: "Your Highness, you are back, and now the old slave is not sure what to do?" ”

"The princess has already mentioned the matter of coal to me, can you tell me exactly what is going on?" Li Su stood with his hands in his hands, pacing back and forth in the council hall.

Jin Daqian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Back to Your Highness, the day you just left, the merchant ship we bought coal from Hedong Road came back, saying that the coal from Hedong Road was sold to Yizhou at a price ten times too high, and there were also some unknown people mining coal on the land we bought before, and our people from the Tang Chamber of Commerce went to stop it, but they were beaten, according to the people who came back, the one who beat the person reported the name of Li Yuanchang, the king of the Han Dynasty." ”

"Han King Li Yuanchang?" Li Su's eyes narrowed, Li Yuanchang is Li Su's imperial uncle in name, but the relationship between Li Yuanchang and Li Ke Li Su is not good, but very close to the crown prince Li Chengqian, it is said that when he was in Chang'an, Li Yuanchang was working against Li Ke, Jing Zhaoyi, so Li Ke beat Li Yuanchang after a court meeting, and the two were even more incompatible.

After thinking for a while, Li Su said, "I understand, you can go with your business." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Kim Dae-kyun withdrew from the council hall.

Yizhou is importing more and more coal, and the profits of this coal are naturally rising. Coal that was not favored before, but became a layer hen that made money from Li Su's hands, which naturally attracted the attention of many businessmen, so many people began to do coal mining business, which Li Su also understood, and from Jin Daqian's words, now the merchants of Hedong Province unanimously put the price ten times too high, so there must be someone behind this who is playing ghosts, and Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, must not be able to escape.

In the next step, Li Su also plans to produce briquettes for the people's daily use. And this demand for coal will be greater, coupled with steam engines and steam ships, this coal will become the lifeblood of Yizhou's economic exhibition in the short term, this matter, he has to deal with it carefully, after all, Hedong Road is thousands of miles away, and his hand cannot be stretched so far.

Leaving the council hall, Li Su went to find Su Mo'er, hoping that her intelligence agency could give him more information. But the information he got was basically the same as he guessed, but he confirmed one thing, that is, it was indeed Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, who was manipulating this matter. Those merchants who refused to obey were all oppressed by Li Yuanchang through various means, and had to agree to raise the price of coal, and the coal mines occupied by Li Su were also instructed by Li Yuanchang. Only then will someone take the risk to steal it.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do next? I don't think this matter is so simple, Li Yuanchang is probably just a clown who was pushed to the front. It is estimated that the ghosts behind it are still those gate lord clans, because Hedong Road is their territory. Su Mo'er said.

Li Su nodded, "Let's ignore them, now that Yizhou has enough coal stored in Yizhou for more than a year, I won't take their tricks and see what tricks they will play." ”

"It's just that they are mining unscrupulously in our coal mines, and we are going to lose a lot." Su Mo'er said worriedly.

"How much can they mine for a year with manpower, and now 90% of the coal in Hedong Road is exported to Yizhou, I don't believe it, I bought it, and I'm afraid that he will sell it, hmph, after a while, I will let them lose all their money, crying and begging to sell the coal to me at a loss." Li Su smiled evilly.

Chang'an City, Han Wangfu, at this time Li Yuanchang was full of pride, and under him sat all famous merchants in Hedong Province, holding a large amount of coal in their hands, these merchants had different expressions at this time, and many people whispered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this King of Shu has made too much money from us, and now it's time to spit it out, this coal is something that Yizhou urgently needs, as long as it is in our hands, he King Shu can only have no way, and in the end he has to spend a lot of money to buy the coal back, you listen to me right, you must make a lot of money, now you just need to mine vigorously." Li Yuanchang looked confident.

"That's right, but everyone knows the character of the King of Shu, it is by no means a loss-making character, we offend him so blatantly, how will we do business in Yizhou in the future?" A businessman couldn't help but say.

"Shopkeeper Wang, what do you say is also from the Taiyuan Wang family, why is the courage so small, His Royal Highness the King of Han said, this coal is the lifeblood of Yizhou, as long as we join forces to control it, this King of Shu will obediently listen to us, besides, this Yizhou is his territory, this Hedong Road is not his territory, he can still bring the army to fight over." Another businessman said.

"This Wang family has a lot of business in Yizhou, of course they are afraid of the King of Shu, but the king is the shopkeeper, and now the five surnames and seven wangs jointly support His Royal Highness the Prince, this is all discussed by everyone, are you afraid of offending the King of Shu, are you not afraid of offending His Royal Highness the Prince?"

The merchant who was called the king's shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, of course our Wang family also supports His Highness." ”

The only strange voice was eliminated, and the joy on Li Yuanchang's face became even stronger, and he said: "Tomorrow, each of your families will send someone to mine the coal mine that Li Su bought before, hmph, this Hedong Road is our territory, and he Li Su dares to enclose the land like this, this time it will definitely embarrass him." ”

After confirming the information from Su Mo'er, Li Su went to Taoyuan, this prospecting team has been preparing for a year, and now it should come in handy.

Finding Tong Yu, Li Su began to let him arrange prospecting tasks, all the mineral deposits in Bashu on the map were explored, when Jin Daqian found the lime mine, this prospecting team had already begun training, Li Su bought a lot of instruments from modern times to teach them to use, and also let them learn a lot of geographical knowledge, the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days with soldiers, and now they finally come in handy.

"Let them first explore all the coal mines in Shudi, and then iron ore and other mineral deposits, which will be explored in turn according to the needs of Taoyuan." At the research institute, Li Su and Tong Yu were explaining the task to the prospecting team, and in front of them was a huge mineral distribution map, on which Li Su wrote and painted, giving them the task of determining each mineral.

Tong Yu looked at the dense mineral deposit locations on the map, sighed, and said, "Your Highness, isn't most of our coal coming in from the north?" How to find coal mines on a large scale in Yizhou now? ”

Li Yu then told Tong Yu what he had encountered, and Tong Yu said angrily: "These black-hearted businessmen are too hateful, the price we give them is high enough, and they are not satisfied, since this is the case, after this batch of coal mines is explored, we will mine it ourselves." ”

Smiling, Li Su said: "This batch of coal mines is to be explored, but it doesn't have to be mined." ”

"Why?" Tong Yu was suddenly confused.

Li Su smiled sinisterly: "You only need to record the coal mines that have been explored, and when the coal mines in Hedong Road pile up into mountains, I will give them a surprise and let them mine coal for this king for nothing." ”

Looking at Li Yu's appearance, Tong Yu shuddered, thinking that this Han King Li Yuanchang might not be able to eat and walked away.

After assigning the task of prospecting, Li Su returned to the palace, and he still had one more thing to deal with, that is, the weapons he purchased from Charles.

At the door of the Hundred Treasure Hall of the palace, wooden boxes of different sizes fell at the door, and the slaves and maids laboriously carried the wooden boxes into the Hundred Treasure Palace, which were loaded with weapons and ammunition, and the weight was needless to say, and now according to Li Yu's instructions, they had to put these things in the basement of the Hundred Treasure Palace.

"Your Highness, this." Every time the box was carried into the basement, Li Su would ask Rongda to pull a weapon out of the box for him.

This time, Rongda handed Li Su a Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle, which is known as the cannon in the game.

As a result, Barrett played with it, and Li Su put Barrett on the stand on the wall, and on that wall it was like hanging clothes, hanging more than 30 different sniper rifles, and on one side there were automatic rifles, submachine guns, all kinds of pistols, and even general-purpose machine guns.

Looking at the room full of weapons, Li Su was satisfied, not to kill, but to collect it as a pleasure.

Took the weapons one by one, and finally hung the last Gru pistol on the wall, Li Su went to the basement again, rummaged through the cabinets and found a few boxes of bullets from Barrett's sniper rifle, according to his idea, he was going to conduct Barrett M82A1 shooting training first, so that he would become the only sniper in this era, and it would not be a dream to win the enemy level by thousands of troops.

With all the things packed up, Rong Da looked at the room full of weapons with a puzzled face, and said, "Your Highness, what are these things, they look weird." ”

"Something used to kill people." Li Su took Barrett off the gun rack, picked it up and aimed outside, this kind of sniper rifle with a range of more than 2,000 meters is definitely a nightmare in this era, "Li Yuanchang, just stop in moderation, don't force me to blow your head off with a sniper rifle." Li Xuan narrowed his eyes dangerously and muttered. (To be continued!)
