"Can that be stopped?"

Xiao Han raised his eyes and glanced at Tong Zhangshun.

"Yes."

Tong Zhangshun nodded.

"Then do it."

Xiao Han waved his hand.

"Yes."

Tong Zhangshun hugged his fists and withdrew from the main hall.

Since Xiao Han is confident, why should Tong Zhangshun say more, anyway, his master's ability is greater, and this matter is difficult for Xiao Han.

"Yes."

"The Marquis of Suning Mansion is just running errands, and it is His Royal Highness the Prince's decision to help the victims."

Tong Zhangshun hadn't gone far yet, and Xiao Han's voice sounded again.

"My subordinates understand."

Tong Zhangshun turned his head again, looked at Xiao Han and hugged his fists.

"Ruoyi, bring the music book here, Ben Hou will write a music and present it to His Majesty tomorrow."

Xiao Han turned his head again, looked at Ruoyi, the maid standing on the side, and said softly.

"Master Hou, Ruoyi has already prepared it for you."

Ruoyi brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the side, then looked at Xiao Han and laughed softly.

"Huh?"

Xiao Han couldn't help but raise her eyes slightly, how did this girl become so smart.

"Don't look at Ruoyi like that."

It seemed that he felt Xiao Han's surprised eyes, Ruoyi's cheeks were slightly red, but he was still unhurriedly grinding the ink in his hand, and said: "You didn't write the chapter at night that day, so whether you can use it or not, Ruoyi will prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for you, so as not to delay the affairs of the Hou Ye." ”

"Hehe, then our Ruoyi is indeed very intimate."

Xiao Han nodded with a smile.

is worthy of Ruoyi, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion of Suning, Xiao Han is already very satisfied with this intimacy alone, not to mention that Ruoyi looks good and is very eye-catching, so she is naturally even more satisfied.

"Master Hou."

"Do I need to add some firewood to you?"

For Xiao Han to study the ink, Ruoyi looked at the brazier in front of him again, and the firewood was about to be burned, so he opened his mouth again.

"Is there no coal in the house?"

Xiao Han, who was thinking about the chapter, was called by Ruoyi, and then came back to his senses, and then glanced at the firewood in the brazier again, and couldn't help frowning.

In the early days of Hongwu, even if coal was in short supply and the people couldn't afford it, could he still afford the huge Suning Marquis Mansion in Xiao Han?

"This year's coal is even more scarce than in previous years, even the coal supply of His Majesty and Niangniang has been reduced a little, and many princes and concubines also have to spend the winter with coal."

"The rest is a lot of ministers in the DPRK and China, and they divide a little bit of profit, even if it is evenly divided, the supply of each household is much less."

Ruoyi looked at Xiao Han helplessly and said.

The imperial court really has no choice but to overcome the difficulties together.

Whoever let the coal output of the Ming Dynasty, almost eighty percent of the supply be used in smelting, after all, the imperial court wants to fight, and the soldiers cannot do without weapons in their hands, so they can only reduce the rest of the supply.

But who would have thought that this year's snow is exceptionally early, and this bit of coal, if there is no firewood, it is really difficult to survive the cold winter.

Besides, it's really good, the Marquis of Suning's mansion, the family has a big business, and there are guards to chop wood, but those incorruptible ministers, I'm afraid they have to go up the mountain to chop firewood for the winter, otherwise, they will really freeze to death at home.

Hearing Ruoyi say this, Xiao Han suddenly realized, no wonder.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the use of coal was not widespread, and more firewood and wood were used as energy sources.

But the more reason is that the coal resources in the Hongwu period are simply pitiful, and it is good to have to mine and supply smelting and ceramic production.

"Gotta fix this."

Xiao Han nodded, but his eyes looked in the direction of Shanxi, and then, a bright light rose, other places, I don't know, but Shanxi, that shovel goes down, there are more coal mines, and if it can be mined there, the people of Daming can basically afford to use coal, so to survive the cold winter, can it still be a problem?

"It seems that we have to pull the sign and go to Shanxi as soon as possible."

Xiao Han made up his mind, and when Yang Xian's matter was resolved, he took Zhu Biao to Shanxi to engage in the coal mining industry.

This thing, first, can solve people's livelihood, and second, even if it is cheap coal, it can make Xiao Han make a lot of money.

However, in view of the various constraints of the feudal dynasty, the mining of coal still had to be in the hands of the imperial court.

Otherwise, it will still be no good for the people, and if they can't afford it, they still can't afford it, and then it won't make the slightest sense.

In the early morning of the vertical day, Xiao Han was half-asleep and half-awake, and a noisy sound sounded in the house, and then, a knock on the door sounded.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye."

"There is a holy decree from the palace, please enter the palace and participate in the court meeting."

A hurried voice sounded, it was Ruoyi's voice, and hearing the edict in the palace, Xiao Han also opened his eyes helplessly.

Immediately, get out of bed, open the door, get into bed, and you're done!

"Didn't I resign from the Ministry of Rites?"

Xiao Han was already full of sleepiness, but he had to raise his heavy eyes, look at Ruoyi who walked in, and asked.

"It was His Majesty who suddenly summoned him."

"It seems to be Yang Xian, Yang Zuocheng participated in your copy."

Ruoyi pointed in the direction of the gate of Jinling City, then looked at Xiao Han and said: "It seems to be a matter of relief for the victims, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are very dissatisfied with this matter, so Your Majesty wants to invite you to go." ”

Indeed, even from Ruoyi's point of view, she felt that Xiao Han was not authentic.

But Ruoyi is Xiao Han's maid, so it was not easy to interject last night, but I always felt that something was going to happen!

Now you see, it's not so early in the morning, and it's coming.

"Yang Xian?"

"Don't make a fuss, I guess it's that group of Mr. Zhedong again, Made, what are they, can't you just stare at other places, just stare at Benhou?"

"Ben Hou gave relief to the victims, and he didn't use their family's money, Ben Hou used Ben Hou's own money, they still have to talk nonsense, they are really speechless."

Xiao Han sat on the couch, rubbed his eyes gently, and said angrily.

"The point, you are not in the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then, the Marquis of Suning is on a bad job."

Ruoyi glanced at Xiao Han helplessly, she could figure it out, why was Xiao Han still pretending to be confused here?

"I remember."

Xiao Han patted his head lightly, and suddenly realized: "I just said what was the matter, forget it, then it's fine." ”

"You're still really open-minded."

The corners of Ruoyi's mouth twitched slightly.

It has to be her master, and she can forget what she has done, and make trouble!

"Then let's go to the court."

Xiao Han shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Master Hou."

Just when Xiao Han got up, Tong Zhangshun walked into the room quickly, looked at Xiao Han and bowed his hand slightly, and said, "The guards in Yangzhou have returned to the house." ”

"Huh?"

"So fast?"

Xiao Han said with a slight surprise.

"Yangzhou is less than three hundred miles away from Jingshi, the guards are fast and whipped, and there are treasures in the house, one day round trip, it is enough."

Tong Zhangshun bowed slightly.

"How's it going?"

Xiao Han nodded and asked again.

"In one day, it was ascertained."

Tong Zhangshun's eyes flashed with disgust, and then, he hugged his fists and said: "Yang Xian's evil, everyone in Yangzhou knows it, no one knows it!" ”
