Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Three
Inside the Taiji Hall of the Imperial City.
Li Shimin, who had just finished handling the political affairs, seemed a little tired. After stretching, he took out a small exquisite box from his arms.
He looked carefully at the door of the hall, then opened the box and took out a pill as big as a broad bean and put it in his mouth.
I closed my eyes and enjoyed it, my throat squirmed for a few times before swallowing it.
After a while, Li Shimin lost all his fatigue, and seemed to be energetic and powerful.
I don’t know where Li Shimin got the magic pill.
However, if Yang Fan saw it, he would definitely find that Li Shimin was somewhat similar to some special person at this time.
Just as he was enjoying himself, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Li Shimin carefully put the box into his arms.
As soon as I sat down, I saw Li Junxian strode in.
Before Li Junxian could speak, Li Shimin asked anxiously: "What's the situation?"
"Thank you to great blessings. After several days of hard work, the people in Chang'an City have now used honeycomb coal and have something to keep warm. I think the people can survive this snow disaster safely, and there will be no people who will die of cold winter in the future." Li Junxian replied with his fist.
"Okay, good... I did a pretty job, but this is not my credit." Having said that, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and felt secretly happy.
He is a man who is determined to be the emperor of the ages.
If a snow disaster displaces the people and suffers countless casualties, then those trolls will find an excuse to criticize themselves again.
While happy, Li Shimin was a little surprised when he saw Li Junxian hesitating.
You should know that Li Junxian has always been a generous person, so he didn't have such a mother-in-law when he was so mother-in-law, so he asked, "What else?"
"Your Majesty, because of the honeycomb coal incident, many families and wealthy families suffered heavy losses. Some people have come up with the idea of Zhongyibo Carbon Mountain."
Li Shimin smiled coldly: "Oh? Tell me about it in detail..."
"Here!"
...
At the same time, in the study room of the British Mansion.
Li Siwen was full of excitement, "Dad, do you know? This time the Changsun family is so embarrassing. Wen'er is so happy!"
Li Ji was spoiled for his son, but he felt a little guilty.
I have no choice but to raise her as a boy since I was a child.
Who made her a descendant of her thief brother and her identity could not be exposed?
When I promised my brothers to take good care of their mother and mother, I seemed to have a little disloyal.
Now they can only live in the dark, and Li Ji feels guilty.
Li Siwen is so happy, and of course Li Ji knows the reason.
Although he had no deep hatred with Changsun Wuji, Li Siwen was different.
If it weren't for Changsun Wuji's obstruction, Li Shimin might have really saved his good brother.
Although Li Ji also knew that the chances of his good brothers surviving were not very high.
After all, it was Emperor Gaozu who wanted to execute his brother.
Moreover, at that time, Li Shimin was in danger of self-restraint.
No matter what, Li Ji still complained about Changsun Wuji, which became a knot in his heart.
After all, Li Shimin had agreed to his request to plead, but was stopped by Changsun Wuji.
The reason is very simple, I am afraid of arousing disgust from Emperor Gaozu.
Although Li Ji knew it was because of the situation, he still had some opinions about Changsun Wuji.
Over the years, although everyone still talks and laughs when they meet on the surface.
After all, both of them were important officials in the court, and they looked up but looked down. But Li Ji and Changsun Wuji also knew that they were both guarding against each other.
After Li Siwen learned the reasons of each of them from her mother's side, she naturally became resentful to Changsun Wuji.
Therefore, Li Siwen is so happy now that he sees Changsun’s family being defeated.
Li Ji smiled and said:
"This Zhongyi Bo is really unexpected. Everyone thought he was a prodigal son, but they didn't expect that they would slap them in the face not long after. Good, good..."
In fact, Li Ji didn't pay much attention to Yang Fan.
Last time I said a few words to Yang Fan in the Tai Chi Hall, but it only implicitly expressed Yang Fan's care for his brother Yishuang.
The impression in his heart is also stuck in other people's rumors. He always thought that Yang Fan was just like that.
But it’s not a fault for Li Ji, in fact, this is also the impression Yang Fan gave to most people.
Li Siwen was very happy when he heard Li Ji praise Yang Fan, and then said to himself: "I heard that the Changsun family sent someone to the Yang Mansion and wanted to buy the sold Carbon Mountain for three times the price. As a result, he was rejected by the Martial Artsman before he even saw Bo Zhongyi. It was so funny!"
"Haha... the price is three times the price is so sincere. If ordinary people really dare not refuse the request of the Changsun family, but this Zhongyi Bo is very popular with His Majesty and he wants to betroth Princess Gaoyang to him. As long as His Majesty is still there, that boy Yang Fan will not be afraid of the Changsun family at all." Li Ji smiled slightly, feeling a little ridiculous.
There were only two people in the study, "father and son", so Li Ji did not speak in a roundabout way.
Wearing a mask outside and pretending if you go home, you will be too frustrated.
What's more, Li Ji is indeed very close to Li Siwen, and is even more close than his biological children. This is also the reason why the old fox Li Ji dares to be without any scruples.
The Carboniferous Mountain is now a mountain of gold and silver. As long as you don’t have any brain problems, no one will be willing to sell it.
Moreover, Yang Fan solved the problem of keeping warm in the people, which was another great achievement. As long as it was not a rebellion, no one would dare to touch him.
Li Siwen was full of admiration and let go of his worries, but he said with some complaints:
"I heard that many people who sold Carbon Mountain had repented. Qinghe Cui also sent people to Yang's house and offered 150,000 guan to redeem the Carbon Mountain that they sold, but Bo Zhongyi did not agree. I remember that when Cui's 30,000 guan was sold, they were all happy. Now, it has only been more than ten days, and it has increased five times. The key is that he can't buy it back. Bo Zhongyi is too far-sighted. These people are too hateful. Why do they all want to make things difficult for Bo Zhongyi? He has done so many good things for the people."
Li Siwen has always appeared in front of everyone as a man, but at this time he showed a little woman's appearance, which made Li Ji think.
"Although the carbonite is not unique to Chang'an City, and even more in Taiyuan, it is difficult to mine and is very bulky and difficult to transport. If transported to Chang'an from outside, even if the carbonite itself is very cheap, the mining costs and freight costs alone are not affordable. Therefore, Zhongyi Bo's purchase of the open-air carbonite mountains outside Chang'an City is so enviable." As an old fried dough stick, of course, he saw the problem in the long run.
As the city with the most concentrated population, Chang'an City has a population of more than one million. As long as it firmly occupys this market, it will be enough to make a fortune.
Now Yang Fan has taken down all the Carboniferous Mountains around Chang'an City. This is a hen that lays golden eggs. Of course, these aristocratic families want to share a good meal.
"This is what the child admires most about Zhongyi Bo. If he doesn't take action, he will buy all the Carboniferous Mountains around Chang'an City with one move. His vision is unparalleled."
"Well, it is not easy for you to make money for yourself and to benefit the people. Zhongyi Bo is not simple. Honeycomb coal is a favor for poor people to spend the winter. Now no one in Chang'an City can compete with that boy. Not to mention that the people do not agree, even Your Majesty can't spare these people."
"I heard that the aristocratic families in Chang'an City sold not only Carbon Mountain to Bo Zhongyi, but also Yanshan Mountain. I wonder if Bo Zhongyi can turn this toxic salt mountain into a treasure in the future."
"Who knows, everyone used to think this guy was a fool, but in the end he always had miracles. He is a good man! Do you need to consider Wen'er?"
The two of them asked and answered each other and were contented.
"Dad... you are making fun of Wen'er, but the child is not willing to support him!" Seeing Li Ji's teasing eyes, Li Siwen was extremely shy.
The white ears were covered with red clouds, but the manly outfit made people look so weird.
Li Ji smiled and felt very happy.
If Li Siwen finds a good destination, his good brother will be very pleased if he knows about it.
When Li Ji was having fun.
After listening to Li Junxian's report, Li Shimin looked cold.
I haven't even been in trouble with these aristocratic families yet, and I didn't expect these people to be so greedy that they actually want to make trouble again.
