Chapter 244: The Family's Plan! Cash-for-work!

"Chang'an, it's fast, maybe it's not time for ......., it's still slow."

"I hope it's as fast as possible, this king also has some, I miss my little sister."

Li Kuan picked up the ugly thing that the little son specially embroidered for him, his eyes were soft, and there was only endless gentleness.

"However, now you can't go back, this king goes, I'm afraid it will make the group of guys from the five surnamed Qiwang clan alert and afraid."

"With the head of the Fan Yang Lu family and the Big Dipper, it's enough to give people a headache, and now they are still being chased, so don't add more enemies."

"Let them toss it again, this king is not here, they will use all their strength, and when the time comes, this king's cheap father will go over and collect their corpses."

"It's coming, it's coming."

Li Kuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

I sandwiched a chopsticks and put it in my mouth, which was spicy and fragrant, and it was extremely enjoyable.

"What His Highness said is, anyway, there is no hurry, so I will stay in Luoyang for the time being."

"In this world, it's such a hot pot, let His Highness salvage it at will, just like ants, our real enemies are in the dark."

"Your Highness, come, I toast you!"

Shangguan Haitang raised his glass.

Li Kuan bowed slightly.

The more everyone eats this hot pot, the more fragrant it becomes.

Only Li Kuan, looking out the window, his eyes flickered, as if ....... had something on his mind.

….……….…….

Chang'an City.

Longxi Li, the main house.

The head of the Li family in Longxi looked at the snowflakes flying in front of him, and he couldn't help but stand in the snow and dance.

The head of the Cui family in Qinghe and the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang accompanied each other, with their mouths open, eating snowflakes back and forth excitedly.

It's snowing!

It's cooled down!

And without any warning!

Not to mention the people, they were all a little caught off guard, but they still found the charcoal left over from last year overnight, so that they didn't let themselves be frozen.

In this case, the people must have a hard time, right?

Even ordinary rich people are afraid that they will be so cold that they can't sleep.

This is really, great news for them!

Their salt, the plan is being prepared unhurriedly.

Now, God help me!

Great things can be done!

Heaven forbid!

If the snow disaster is completed, the people will be hungry and cold, and the people will not be able to make a living.

The imperial court must have no time to take care of other places.

When the time comes, they will cut off the salt completely and directly.

In such cold weather, the people can't eat enough, don't wear warm clothes, if there is less salt, I'm afraid the world will be chaotic in an instant.

When the time comes, the Shi clan will really be able to easily handle Li Shimin without much effort.

If he abdicates from time to time, then the next scene will be the eighteenth road against the king and Chang'an.

"Okay, that's good, this snow is too timely!"

"Hahaha......."

The head of the Li family in Longxi smiled, grabbed a handful of snow, and held it in the palm of his hand, feeling the temperature of the ice and snow, which made him even more arrogant.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

"Our opportunity is really coming, this time, he Li Shimin can't escape!"

The head of the Cui family in Qinghe was red with excitement, and his hands danced.

"Two prongs!"

"Snow disaster, salt disaster, no one can stop the arrival of these two, and the cold weather, heavy snow seals everything, even if Li Shimin wants to find a new salt mine, it is impossible."

"At least, the speed is much, much slower than usual, he, what qualifications does he have to fight us!"

"Who said no, who said no, this time, he must die without a place to be buried! One hit kills, one blow defeats! ”

"Hahaha......."

The three of them had a good time.

They stood in the snow, expecting, expecting, that the snow would be bigger.

It's best to be able to collapse Chang'an and collapse the world.

When the time comes, they will directly crush Li Shimin's ....... to pieces!

No one can stop it!

No one will be able to turn the tables again!

No one!

The head of the Li family in Longxi clenched his fists hard.

The bloodshot in his eyes, which had been produced by not resting well these days, were trembling, connecting together, revealing a cannibalistic blood.

This time, the best opportunity for the world, and also, the best opportunity!

Fight!

Fight it thoroughly!!

….……….…….

When the sun came out, the sky was a little clearer.

The snowflakes in the air stopped.

I don't know when it stopped last night.

The snow is not shallow, but not deep either.

Li Shimin stood in front of the gate of Taiji Palace, already wearing a thick woolen suit.

Snow that can be up to the ankles.

But this level of snow cover is absolutely acceptable.

When Li Shimin saw this, although he didn't say it, he was really relieved in his heart.

This is a blessing in disguise.

The temperature plummeted, and if there was another thick snow that collapsed the people's houses, it would be the real aggravation of the snow and the fall of the well.

In such weather, if the people don't even have a place to live, it's a real trouble.

I don't know how many people will die in the cold.

"Your Majesty, the snow has stopped."

Empress Eldest Sun stood beside her and said in a deep voice.

She also had almost worrying insomnia last night.

Li Shimin nodded: "The snow has stopped, fortunately." ”

"Let's go, call the three of them to the eldest grandson Wuji, it's time to go to the Chu Palace."

Li Shimin shouted.

"Chu Wangfu? Your Majesty, this early dynasty ......."

Empress Eldest Sun was surprised.

After all, such a big thing just happened today, and the snow disaster has been completed, although the snow is not so big, but after all, it will bring a lot of trouble to Datang.

It is estimated that many officials have prepared an excerpt and will discuss how to solve this matter in the early court.

"Early dynasty? Hum! That group of people, there was a fart in the early morning. ”

"The top priority now is to solve the problem of heating for the people, even if it is in the early dynasty, it is also a debate on how to solve this matter."

"Now that I have the best way, why waste time with them."

"Guanyin, if you go and say something, just say that I have something to do, don't go to court, just let them leave the folds."

Li Shimin ordered directly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"When are we going?"

"Your Majesty, let's go, without further ado, leave immediately."

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui also hurriedly walked over from the snow.

They slept in the side hall last night.

"Let's go!"

Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and strode out.

He's in a hurry!

The four of them left the palace, and it can be said that they did not delay at all, and went straight to the Chu Palace.

In Chang'an, there is a depression.

I saw only pedestrians hurrying on the road.

It seems that the usual stalls and vendors are all gone.

The doors of the house are closed.

There is no voice in every household.

As a heavy snowfall fell, it seemed that the world had fallen silent.

"The people don't know what to do now, they can only endure it alone behind closed doors, we must be fast, otherwise, tonight, the people will have a hard time."

"Yes, Your Majesty, now the people can be said to have no way at all, the heavy snow is blocking the road, they can't go anywhere, and even people estimate that it is difficult to even go out, and the people's thin clothes really can't bear the temperature of this rapid retreat."

“…….”

The eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui, the three of them said one after another.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

He was well aware of the danger that lurked beneath the silence.

This is the first day, maybe it's okay, but the next day the court can't come up with a plan, inside Chang'an City, no, not only inside and outside Chang'an City, this large area of people wrapped in snow will usher in the struggle of life.

The first batch is the elderly.

Originally, the old man was difficult for winter, but now the temperature is coming down directly, without any signs, and the old man is heating the method, which is really .......

Batches of old people will die in this cold winter.

And then there's the kids.

And then there are the strong people.

Li Shimin didn't dare to think about it, so he could only walk a little faster.

After all, no one knows if the snow will continue to fall, and that's what worries me the most!

If this snow had stopped abruptly, it would have been fine, but what if it continued to rain tonight?

So what to do?

I can't imagine!

Chu Wangfu, just ahead!

Squeaky .......

The voices of several people at their feet became extremely chaotic at this moment, and they only felt distracted.

Li Junxian walked up quickly and knocked on the door directly.

"Who?"

"It's a snowy day."

Squeak.......

The door opened.

It was a maid dressed in cotton clothes.

However, she knew Li Shimin's eldest grandson Wuji.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid meets Your Majesty......."

As she spoke, the maid was about to kneel down in a hurry to greet her.

Li Shimin gave Li Junxian a look.

Li Junxian went up directly and grabbed it.

"No need, has the King of Chu come back?"

Li Shimin interrupted him and asked directly.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has not come back yet."

"Where's the old gentleman?"

"Old sir? Oh, butler, he's reading in there, Your Majesty, please. ”

The maid hurriedly led a few people towards the mansion.

The maid took them and just entered Yuan Tiangang's courtyard.

"Hehehe....... Your Majesty, how many people are there, why is this snowy weather still coming out?"

"Hurry up, take a seat! Come on, serve tea! ”

"No, boil wine, let Your Majesty still have a few more to warm up."

The old man put down the book in his hand and walked down with a smile to greet him.

"Old man, don't be so troublesome, don't take care of it."

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and hugged his fists.

His gaze looked directly at the room behind the old man.

A cup of tea, a wooden table, a few books.

But beyond that, right next to the wooden table, a new stove was added.

Next to this stove, there is the honeycomb they have always dreamed of, charcoal!

Li Shimin immediately walked over.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui followed.

As soon as the four of them entered the room, they felt the heat rushing to their faces.

The stove was burning brightly.

There is also a kettle above.

This temperature, frantically released outward, this thing, seems to be stronger than those fires.

Absolutely!

That's it!

If this thing can be promoted to the people, it will be like an artifact to deal with such a cold day.

"What is this, old sir?"

Li Shimin asked directly: "We met in the Chu King's Courtyard before, but we didn't know how to make it, and asked the old gentleman for guidance." ”

Li Shimin turned directly to look at the old man.

The eyes are solemn.

The breathing of the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui was also a little short.

Fever in the heart!

Looking forward to it!

This thing, it's amazing!!

In such a snowy weather, it is simply the best artifact, and it is not exchanged for a thousand taels of gold.

With such coal, it is easy for the people to get through this winter!

The old man looked at the four of them with such expressions, and listened to their inquiries, and immediately knew what was going on.

At the moment, he did not hide it.......

Directly picked up a honeycomb coal and explained.

"This honeycomb coal was invented by His Highness."

"It's very simple, just use the most common, that is, the most common kind of charcoal, break them, then add some water to put them in the grinding tool, then dry them, wait for them to solidify, and it's done."

"However, this thing, don't look at the heating, it can burn for a long time, it can still cook, and it can also boil water, but ....... can't close all the doors and windows, this is what His Highness said, saying that this thing can kill people if you don't pay attention."

"But, as long as there is a gap, incomplete sealing, it will do."

The old man explained.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, is his life in danger?

However, when he heard the old man's words, he nodded violently and was suddenly relieved.

It's as simple as that?

In this way, this side effect is simply not worth mentioning for the efficacy of honeycomb coal.

"I know, I'm going to prepare!"

"Auxiliary, immediately summon the pharmacists and send out an army to make honeycomb charcoal!"

Li Shimin should be coaxed.

The eldest grandson Wuji's body trembled, and he was about to get down immediately.

"No, Your Majesty, in this kind of weather, let the army rest well."

The old man said with a smile.

"Huh? What do you mean? Li Shimin looked at the old man again.

The old man smiled, he exhaled softly, and said, "Let the people go." ”

"Now the people don't have anything to do, instead of freezing at home, let them move and let them make this charcoal with their own hands."

"When the time comes, Your Majesty only needs to ask the household department to set up porridge points inside and outside Chang'an City, and take care of their full meals."

"After all, even if a large army is dispatched, it is really better to open a warehouse to revitalize grain, so it is really better to let the people work by themselves, and then let them earn food for themselves, so that they cherish honeycomb coal even more, and their interest is heavier, and they will also feel the value of their existence."

"Hehehe....... hey, in fact, there is a lot of, and the old Tao doesn't understand it too much, it's all said by His Royal Highness."

"What to say, this is called cash-for-work, which is more cost-effective and effective than direct disaster relief."

The old man said with a smile.

The room was quiet.

The flames on the stove are still fierce.

Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng stared at the old man together, their hearts were blatant, and they completely fell into contemplation.

Cash-for-work!

This idea is simply amazing!

They are still just staying at letting the court help the people, and the cash-for-work has completely jumped out of this range.
