Chapter 314: Opening
Li Zhi stood up with some regret at the moment, he just wanted to find something unhappy for Li Shen just now, if it can go well,
Li Shen either broke his fortune or lost his favor in front of Li Shimin.
But he didn't expect Li Shen to be so sharp-tongued, in fact, he only started to go to the court in recent years, and he had only heard of Li Shen's achievements back then.
Just look at Li Tai, who hasn't spoken all the time.
Seeing that Li Zhi was passive, the people on Li Zhi's side couldn't sit idly by, and Liu Ruyuan stood up and said,
"His Royal Highness King Ji, since you can come up with two million guan, why don't you directly present it to the imperial court for relief of the victims, why do you have to let His Royal Highness King Jin do it."
"Isn't that obvious? This king slammed the door, this king has no virtue, and this king is unwilling to give money for disaster relief. This king is an unkind and unrighteous person, what's the matter, is there a problem?
Since Brother Jiu is virtuous, Brother Jiu wants to take out money and wealth for disaster relief, Brother Jiu is a benevolent and righteous person, and the king is willing to fulfill Brother Jiu. ”
Li Shen thought to himself; The sample is still playing with me, I don't know if this king's main fight is shameless? I don't argue, what's the use of asking for face.
Li Shen's shameless remarks made Liu Ruyuan speechless, he can still refute a few words if he is reasonable, how can you be shameless.
How did he know that there was a famous saying in the afterlife; When the water is clear, there are no fish, and if people are cheap, they are invincible.
"Okay, don't make any noise, what kind of system will be on top of the hall." Li Shimin finally spoke.
Li Shen saw that Li Shimin had spoken and began to close his eyes again to recuperate, he didn't care whether he was polite or not, he could squint if he could.
"A few of you princes, please also share your thoughts." Suddenly, Li Shimin said such a sentence. I don't know if I want to take the school prince's exam, or if I really want to hear their opinions.
"Aya, I think it's still the eldest grandson who is right, first of all, we must solve the heating problem of the people, not to freeze to death is the most important, in terms of food, the current reserves of the imperial court should allow the people to tide over the difficulties."
Li Taixian expressed his opinion. Li Zhi was not to be outdone, and followed suit:
"In areas where the disaster is not serious, the government organizes the construction of houses, and the imperial court can pay to buy a batch of charcoal and distribute it to the people. In this way, the people will be able to get through the difficulties, and it will be up to three months before the spring flowers bloom. It should be able to get through it. ”
"Your Highness, the charcoal is forty wen a catty, and the imperial court does not have so much money." When it came to money, Tang Jianke, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, did not agree.
How much does such expensive charcoal cost, and you can't take the money of the court as a prince to please the family and scholars.
"King Ji, what do you think?" Li Shimin did not comment, but asked Li Shen, who had been pretending to sleep.
Li Shen was too sleepy, he estimated that it would only be five o'clock now, and he would not let people live. Hearing Li Shimin's words, he said perfunctorily.
"The eldest brother is right, and I agree with what the eldest brother said."
"....." was silent. Li Chengqian also had a bitter face.
"Bastard, the prince hasn't said it yet, have you listened to it?" This sentence made Li Shimin angry enough.
Li Shen opened his eyes and looked at Li Chengqian, which meant to ask, 'You haven't said it yet?' ’
After Li Chengqian gave him an affirmative look, Li Shen said with a little embarrassment
"That, after listening to it, there is only one thing that everyone discusses, that is, to solve the problem of heating for the people, right?"
Seeing that Li Shen finally got to the point, Li Shimin's face softened a lot:
"You go on."
"Aya, now this problem is stuck on the fact that charcoal is too expensive, and there is a solution."
"What way."
"Aya won't forget the heating method in my house, there is a kang in my house, there is a ground dragon, and a stove. And I have a material in my hand that can replace charcoal. ”
As soon as Li Shen's words came out, many people were shocked, especially these people from the family family.
"You're talking about the Carboniferous Mountains?" Li Shimin asked.
Hearing this, the people in Shitan Mountain breathed a sigh of relief again, and the charcoal could not be burned and poisonous.
"Aya is indeed wise, indeed a coal."
"His Royal Highness King Ji, charcoal burning is poisonous, are you killing or saving people?" Choi In-ji asked
"Cui Yushi, I haven't seen many things, and it's not your fault, but you stand up and show your ignorance, which is wrong.
The food on my house has been used for several years, and there is no poisoning death, and my Ji Wangfu has also been using it.
Do you think this king is a human or a ghost? ”
Li Shen is quite good at scolding Cui Renzhi.
"Tell me about it." Li Shimin didn't want Li Shen to quarrel in the court.
"Aye, my house will use a special method to make charcoal into honeycomb coal, with a special stove, most of the poisonous smoke will be discharged outdoors along the furnace pipe, a little in the house, as long as the windows are properly opened, it will not be poisoned."
At this time, the house is not airtight, and there are gaps everywhere.
"You're telling the truth?" Li Shimin was very excited.
"Don't dare to deceive Aya. It's just that the furnace needs to be built by the imperial court, and the drawings can be produced. ”
"Okay, the Ministry of Building the Furnace can be responsible, you go and inform your Zhuangzi that I am going to go to the Huangzhuang after the next dynasty, and I want to see it for myself."
Seeing is believing, Li Shimin still needs to see it for himself.
"Yes."
"Then I don't know how much His Royal Highness King Ji's charcoal is going to sell?" Choi In-ji asked. This is the main concern of their family members.
"Well, this king said first, this king's charcoal can be cheaper for the disaster victims, but it can't be ignored, because many people in this king's Zhuangzi also rely on this to eat.
It is well known that coal mining is dirty, tiring, and extremely dangerous, so the king also pays them the most.
Considering that the cost of production is also very high, the king decided that the price of one pound is ...... Fifteen texts. ”
Originally, when I heard that Li Shen thought it was more expensive when he heard a lot of foreshadowing, who would have thought that it would be sold for fifteen wen, and the price of charcoal before the price did not rise was about twenty.
"Fifteen?" Li Tai said in surprise,
"Ah, the fourth brother thinks it's expensive? Then thirteen articles will do. Li Shen was a little reluctant.
"Really thirteen Wen?" Li Zhi was also surprised, the scholar clan also had his dividends in forty wen a catty.
"Brother Jiu thinks it's not okay? That... That's all right," Li Shen's expression also looked very aggrieved.
"Shiwen?"
This time, the ministers also began to be surprised, only the officials of the family clan looked at the two princes they supported and wanted to gag their mouths.
The two of them dropped another sentence in one sentence, you two don't talk.
Li Shimin is very happy, if what Li Shen said is true, then the disaster can also be controlled.
"Your Majesty, ten cents, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the imperial court to support it." The housekeeper's mother-in-law, Tang Jian, stood up again and said.
