Chapter 213: I want to make a move against the Zhao family
Emperor Qianwu agreed, and Li Changfeng asked people to bring in the stove and dishes, and sat around in the imperial study.
"Old Gao, what are you doing standing? Together. Li Changfeng glanced at Gao Dali and said.
Before Gao vigorously refused, Emperor Qianwu said: "Okay, it's not the first time, sit down." ”
"Your Majesty, Your Highness."
Gao Dali was indeed accustomed to the feeling that Li Changfeng never treated him as an outsider, so he took a grateful look and sat down.
Li Changfeng said while serving the food: "The winter in the capital is really cold, and it is still comfortable to stay in Baishi City." ”
Emperor Qianwu glared at him: "It's all now, and you are still thinking about returning to Baishi City?" Obediently let me stay in the capital, and don't fight those crooked thoughts. ”
"Why are you in a hurry? Erchen is not just talking casually, chatting. ”
"Okay, okay, stinky boy, I've heard about it, you haven't been to the artillery battalion and the musket battalion for the past few days since you came back, why are you so unconcerned?"
"Isn't there Jianye staring, what are you going to do?"
"That's why you left it alone?"
"Okay, let's be honest, Erchen is afraid that you will suspect that Erchen supports the army and is self-respecting, so it's better to go less."
Gao Dali, who had just picked up the chopsticks, trembled in fright, and secretly looked at Emperor Qianwu.
Emperor Qianwu's eyes widened, but he didn't look angry at all, but with a little encouragement: "Then you can support the army and respect yourself, when do you feel qualified enough to say, I will give you this position." ”
Gao Dali was shocked.
To put it mildly, rebellion is just two of them, father and son.
Gao Dali put his mind at ease and focused on the ingredients tumbling in the hot pot, Li Changfeng glanced at Emperor Qianwu, and laughed dryly.
"Forget it, I'm not interested."
"Emperor, you shouldn't be a dog, right?"
Emperor Qianwu's face was full of helplessness, and he really couldn't figure out why Li Changfeng was not interested in what other princes were thinking about.
"It's an old thing, I bragged nonsense at the time, why did my father keep mentioning this stubble?"
After chatting for a while, Li Changfeng patted his thigh and said, "By the way, I almost forgot a good thing!" ”
After finishing speaking, he got up, took out a plate of strangely shaped food from the bottom of the food box, put it in front of Emperor Qianwu, and said with a smile: "Taste? ”
Emperor Qianwu picked up a piece and looked at it, and wondered, "What is this?" ”
"Cookies."
"What a strange name."
As he spoke, Emperor Qianwu picked up a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Then his eyes suddenly lit up, he chewed quickly, squinted his eyes with a satisfied expression, and exclaimed vaguely: "It's delicious, it's so delicious, it's a snack newly invented by Dude, right?" ”
Li Changfeng nodded: "That's right, you can eat more if it's delicious." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Gao Dali, who was swallowing his saliva: "What are you doing in a daze?" Eat. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Gao vigorously thanked him, picked up a cookie and ate it, and the next moment he also showed an expression of enjoyment.
Soon, the cookies on the side were wiped out, and Emperor Qianwu was still a little unsatisfied, licking his fingers and saying, "Bring me more on another day." ”
Li Changfeng was a little funny, who would have thought that Emperor Qianwu, who was full of majesty, decisive killing, and revered by everyone in the eyes of outsiders, would have such a side?
He nodded and said, "Okay, got it." ”
Then he picked up the chopsticks and scooped them up in the hot pot: "It's cooked, the meat and meatballs are cooked, hurry up and eat it." ”
Emperor Qianwu hurriedly picked up chopsticks and feasted on them.
The father and son chatted while eating, Li Changfeng did not have the slightest reverence for Emperor Qianwu, and chatted freely as if he were an old friend.
Emperor Qianwu did not put on an emperor's shelf, from military affairs to short matters in the family, and Li Changfeng chatted happily.
Gao Dali couldn't interject, buried himself in cooking, and what he ate was called a pleasure.
An hour later, Emperor Qianwu leaned back in his chair, touched his belly with a satisfied face, and said with a smile: "Today's meal is really enjoyable!" ”
Gao Dali nodded in agreement, glanced at the hot pot that was still boiling, and said casually: "Today's coal is really resistant to burning, it's been more than an hour." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu probably estimated the time, and it was indeed more than an hour, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.
Li Changfeng was waiting for this moment, and said with a slight smile: "Old Gao, what is burning in this furnace today is not coal, but honeycomb coal." ”
"Honeycomb coal?" Gao Dali's face was full of doubts.
Emperor Qianwu was also interested when he heard this, sat up straight and said, "It's a new trick you made again, right?" What's so peculiar? ”
Li Changfeng said with a smile: "Honeycomb coal is made from a mixture of raw coal, yellow mud, charcoal powder, etc., which has the advantages of smokeless, non-toxic and tasteless. ”
Emperor Qianwu thought for a while and said: "Don't say that you really haven't seen the smoke, and you haven't smelled any strange smells, in the past, you would be dizzy after roasting coal for a long time, but today you don't have it." ”
Gao Dali nodded and asked, "Your Highness, the recipe of this honeycomb coal sounds so complicated, is it very expensive to sell at a high cost?" ”
Emperor Qianwu also had the same doubts, and looked at Li Changfeng with blazing eyes.
Li Changfeng shook his head: "No, because of the addition of some yellow mud to honeycomb coal, coupled with the characteristics of long combustion time and full combustion and less coal, the cost is actually lower, and a piece of honeycomb coal can be sold for a penny!" ”
"What do you earn before the article?"
Gao Dali was a little surprised, and Emperor Qianwu was also puzzled.
How can there be money to be made at such a cheap price?
Then Li Changfeng brought a piece of honeycomb coal and explained in detail why it burns for a long time, burns more fully, and costs are lower.
Emperor Qianwu nodded after hearing this: "Yes, it is a very useful invention, and there is a lot of silver left over if the common people use it." ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Qianwu was puzzled: "You came to see me today, just to talk about honeycomb coal, right?" ”
Li Changfeng smiled: "It's not all. ”
"Hmph, I'm still going around in circles." Emperor Qianwu snorted and said, "I already knew that you had bought a large number of coal mines, and if you wanted to make money in the honeycomb coal business, you would do it, so why bother to do it so roundly." ”
Li Changfeng restrained his smile and said, "Father, of course, the sons and daughters came to the palace not only to sell honeycomb coal, but more importantly, the huge forces involved behind it. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly stared at Li Changfeng and said solemnly: "Do you want to make a move on the Zhao family?" ”
The Zhao family was the first of the eight great families to go to war with the royal family.
Although Li Changfeng completely ruined their restaurant and other businesses in the capital before, this industry is not even a drop in the bucket for the Zhao family.
The reason why the Zhao family was able to become one of the eight great families was precisely because they controlled the vast majority of the large coal mines in Daqian and almost monopolized the coal supply of Daqian.
Li Changfeng wants to sell honeycomb coal, that is, he is digging the foundation of the Zhao family.
