Chapter 178: The Furnace
He was puzzled.
After all, there must be a reason for the price of this thing to skyrocket, how can there be no evidence, and the good ones suddenly skyrocket.
At the same time, Li Si, the prime minister of the Great Qin Empire, was silent.
It's not that he doesn't know the crux of it, but because Li Si, the prime minister of the Great Qin Empire, is not easy to say.
Here's why.
The fundamental reason for the skyrocketing price of firewood in Xianyang City, Guanzhong lies in one thing.
lies in one person.
And that man was standing right in front of Lees.
That man's name was Yingzheng.
There is a nickname called Zulong.
There are also some people who like to call him Brother Zheng.
But no matter what it's called, this middle-aged man named Ying Zheng is the culprit of all this.
It's pretty simple.
It is nothing more than the current Great Qin.
Ying Zheng is near Xianyang, building palaces in various places in Guanzhong.
And the traditional architecture of China.
They are all built with wood as the main body.
In such a situation, it is natural to cut down a large amount of forest.
to get wood.
In such a situation, there is less and less wood.
When there is less firewood, the price will naturally rise.
It's going to happen.
However, even if you know the crux of this and where it is, it is difficult for Li Si to say it clearly.
Because, this is very likely, it will anger the winning government.
Looking at Li Si, who was silent in front of him, Ying Zheng was a little dissatisfied, and he asked.
"If you have anything to say, you can say anything, what is the mother-in-law doing? Tell me, what's going on? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister said, don't be angry......"
Seeing that he really couldn't hide it, Li Si had no choice but to meet him frankly and win the government, and he knew Li Si's caution very well.
I saw that Ying Zheng waved his hand, and then said with his chin bowed.
"That's it, I don't blame you!"
"No!"
When Li Si heard this, he put his mind at ease, and he immediately opened his mouth to explain the truth in the night.
I saw it, Li Si said.
"Your Majesty is now in Guanzhong, building a lot of construction, how much wood does you have to consume every day?"
"With such consumption, how can the price of firewood in Guanzhong skyrocket?"
"Therefore, if Your Majesty wants to solve this matter, in fact, it is very simple, as long as you repair some palaces, you can solve it......"
"However, Chen Li Si thinks that this matter is okay, and it can be solved by other methods, and it is absolutely impossible to ruin the major matter of His Majesty's palace repair because of a few small people!"
Li Si glanced at Yingzheng slyly, and then said with a smile at Yingzheng.
And Win Zheng is gloomy and straight at the moment.
I'm thinking hard about how to do it.
Stop building your own palace?
Win the government is unwilling.
However, sit back and watch the people in Xianyang City freeze to death because they can't afford firewood?
Win Zheng felt that it was inappropriate.
Therefore, the current winning government is so difficult, he hesitated again and again, and then opened his mouth and muttered.
"If it's the imperial court, what if you mine more wood? Can this be solved? ”
"In this way, I'm afraid it's very difficult......"
Li Si, who was on the side, shook his head and said.
He explained to Yingzheng.
"Now in Guanzhong, there are fertile fields everywhere, where can I find so many forests? If you want to cut wood, you need to go deep into the mountains of the Qinling Mountains to do it, and here, it is too far away from Xianyang, so Your Majesty, it is extremely difficult to solve this matter......
Li Si said with emotion.
Win the government thoughtfully.
I can't calm down for a long time.
At this time, perhaps to break the deadlock.
Li Si, who was on the side, suddenly proposed.
"Your Majesty, now is the meal, right now, it's better for Your Majesty, first find a restaurant in Xianyang City, use some food for the time being, and then, it's not too late to think about this matter......"
Lis's voice fell.
Ying Zheng bowed slightly.
Speaking of which.
It's been so long since I've been out and about.
It's a cold day again.
For the consumption of physical energy, it is still quite large.
Now, don't let it, Ying Zheng's stomach is really a little hungry.
I saw that Ying Zheng asked Li Si.
"Where are you going to eat?"
"Go to the nineteenth prince, the nineteenth prince's food is the sky, and now it is a must in Xianyang City, Your Majesty go over and taste the delicacies there!"
Lees suggested.
Shrinking his neck again, he continued to Yingzheng.
"Moreover, now is the cold winter wax moon, and it is the time to eat that red oil spicy hot pot......"
"I know!"
Ying Zheng nodded.
Immediately, he went to eat with Li Si.
Eat for days.
At the moment, it can be described as steaming.
Inside the air, there is a strong fragrance.
Inside, it's even warmer.
Let Win Zheng can't help but sigh with emotion.
"It's warm here!"
Ying Zheng's voice fell, at this time, in the tavern, Xiao He had already found out that Ying Zheng had come here, he had seen Ying Zheng, at this moment, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Ying Zheng and the others.
"Two distinguished guests, please upstairs!"
As he spoke, he invited Ying Zheng and Li Si in front of him into a private room on the second floor, and then saluted Ying Zheng.
"Minister Xiao He, please see Your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty's private visit to Weifu is doing so far today......"
"I'm here, there's nothing special, it's just that I want to come over and have a light meal!"
Ying Zheng smiled and said to Xiao He.
When Xiao He heard this, he instantly understood, and immediately asked.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty and the Prime Minister, what do you two want to eat when you two come here?"
"Hot pot!"
Win the government without thinking.
"It's a cold day, you should eat this thing!"
"That's right, Your Majesty is wise, eating hot pot on this cold day is just to keep out the cold!"
Xiao He hurriedly bowed his head.
And Win Zheng, but he didn't want to continue to talk too much nonsense with him, so he waved his hand.
"You go down and prepare, wait a minute, just bring it to me, and by the way, prepare some wine for me!"
"No!"
Xiao He hurriedly bowed his head, and then retreated.
At the same time, Ying Zheng was curious to look back and forth in this private room.
At this moment, it is obviously the time of winter.
However, Ying Zheng could feel that in this huge private room, it was extremely warm.
Even, it seems a little hot.
Brother Zheng couldn't help but untie the fox fur he was wearing.
"In this house, the heat drops are very good!"
Ying Zheng took off the fox fur he was wearing, and then hung it on the hanger on the side, and then said to Li Si with emotion.
Li Si bowed slightly.
I was also a little surprised.
He looked around, fixed his gaze on the copper stove in the private room, and then said to Ying Zhengdao.
"Your Majesty, there is a fire in this room, and it is naturally warm?"
"On fire?"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately followed Li Si's gaze and fixed his gaze on the copper stove, only to see Ying Zheng step forward and walk to the edge of the stove, and sure enough, he felt more and more hot.
Seeing this situation, Ying Zheng couldn't help but show surprise, and he muttered puzzled.
"It's strange, this kid made this stove, it's good, but I don't know one thing, I really don't know, this stove doesn't need anyone to add firewood, how can it burn all the time?"
