Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 479

Since ancient times, the importance of the leading party is self-evident.In the future, when the Tang army goes out of the fortress to wipe out the Turks, the leading party is even more indispensable.In addition to starting with Bazhuo, the Tang Dynasty has been sending spies to the grasslands to work in these years.These people, either as messengers or merchants, have multiple identities.Just as the Turks sent people to collect information about Datang, Datang is also intensively collecting information about Turks.

The people brought by Ba Zhuo, as well as himself, were all monitored by the Tang army around the clock, and they were even ordered not to leave the dormitory for half a step, otherwise they would be executed directly for minor crimes.

Ba Zhuo didn't know what the secret crime was, he only knew that he was under house arrest by the Tang Dynasty.For several days in a row, he only saw one side of Wang Changxie, the minister of Honglu Temple. As for the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the prince Li Zhiyun who controlled the power, he had never seen him.

On this day, a minister came to Bazhuo's room.

"Young master, Tang Jun is killing people."

"Oh." Ba Zhuo leaned on the table and ate the hot meal without paying any attention.

It's just killing people. He didn't kill every day when he was in the grassland. Is there anything worth fussing about?

The subordinate continued: "They are killing the Turks!"

"Huh?" Ba Zhuo looked at his subordinate, "Which department?"

"It is said that they are prisoners of the Austrian Sheriff's Department. I heard that those people plundered Suizhou and were captured by the Tang army. They are being executed in batches. There are more than [-] people."

Ba Zhuo shuddered, gritted his teeth and said, "So bold."

The long-standing Turkic advantage over the Tang Dynasty made Bazhuo deeply believe that the Tang Dynasty would not dare to offend the Turks.

However, since he was left out in the cold, he found this Tang Dynasty a bit strange.

It's not like before, when the Turkic punches a punch and makes a smile, it will admit it.In Ba Zhuo's view, this Tang Dynasty was full of murderous nature, much like those slaves on the grassland who tried to stand on their own.

Ba Zhuo asked, "How did you get out?"

"I didn't go out. People from Honglu Temple sent this. I heard what they said."

Saying that, Bu Cong had people bring in the things from Honglu Temple.

"What is this?" Bazhuo looked at the dark cylindrical thing with holes in it, and another thing that looked like a hollow stone pier.

The servant said: "The Tang people said it was a coal stove to keep us warm."

"A coal stove?"

After half an hour.

Bazhuo was roasting in the fire, and said with emotion: "Tang people are really ingenious. If we have this thing, I, Xue Yantuo, can safely spend the winter in the grassland."

From the perspective of Bazhuo, honeycomb is simply a wonderful workmanship. It is not only resistant to burning, but also has a high temperature and no smoke. It is simply the best thing for heating in winter.

Ever since, he found officials from Honglu Temple.I want to buy a batch and send it back to the grassland.

"You want to buy this?" The Honglu Temple official frowned.

"Yes, you can make a price." Ba Zhuo said proudly.

"It's not cheap, we don't want silver, we want slaves, you can come to me after you think about it." After finishing speaking, the officials of Honglu Temple left without even giving Ba Zhuo time to answer.

"Arrogant Tang people!" The subordinates were furious.

Ba Zhuo looked cold, slightly puzzled in his heart.

The Tang people are a little strange this time, why do they want slaves instead of money?

Honeycomb appeared quietly, but it is not so quietly, because Li Zhiyun is its spokesperson.

The reason is very simple. When Li Zhiyun was discussing political affairs with Liuxiang, Liubu Shangshu, and Jiusi officials during a small court, he ordered a few coal stoves to be sent to them, and while they were cooking, they discussed things with the ministers.

Then the ministers found out.

Yo, this little thing is really unique and easy to use!
Ever since, after asking Li Zhiyun, these ministers got a coal stove rewarded by Li Zhiyun.Then Li Zhiyun told them that Chang'an sells this kind of briquette.

Soon, news of honeycomb briquettes spread on the upper floors, and then in the eastern and western cities, several shops selling briquette briquettes under the name of Chu Wangfu were wiped out.

Li Zhiyun made another fortune.

In addition, the promotion of the bottom layer is also going on.

This kind of coal stove for heating has appeared successively in restaurants and Tangxiang shops, and its benefits have gradually become known to the common people.

Immediately afterwards, the Chang'an Fiction Newspaper also began to publicize it. Within a few days, the people of Chang'an knew about this kind of coal stove for heating.

Then, Li Zhiyun made a fortune again.

The prices of coal stoves and briquettes are not high, and briquettes are mainly sold.Because coal stoves have no technical content and are easy to imitate, the price of coal stoves is a little higher.Honeycomb briquette is low in cost and is a fast-consumable product, so the price is set relatively low.

The most important thing is that Li Zhiyun is unwilling to set a high price for this kind of thing that benefits the people, so he set a low price.

His purpose, one is to make money, but to improve the lives of the people.

The raw materials used in the manufacture of briquettes are not worth a few dollars, and there are too many cinders in the pits of the workshops to be used.

Use waste, make some money, and feel comfortable.

Although Li Zhiyun's goal was not to make money, he still made a lot of money.

The reason is very simple, who is not cold in winter!
The briquette and coal stove can not only keep warm, but also boil water. Who doesn't like it!
The coal stove produced by the workshop is a 'three-section small coal stove'.That is, put three briquettes in the coal stove, and the valve is properly controlled, and it can burn for a day.

Many ministers like to hug the stove, while boiling boiling water, while reading, don't be too happy in those little days.

Ordinary people, if they have a little condition, will buy a stove back.The reason is very simple, there is a stove to boil water, which completely saves them the effort of boiling water in the kitchen.

In other words, the money of six briquettes saves them time and effort.And the price set by the imperial court for a piece of briquette is not high, twenty yuan.

Very cheap price.

Compared with the price of hundreds of cash for soap, honeycomb coal is almost worthless.

But the problem is, although it is worthless, it is easy to use!
Ordinary people may think that it is not worth spending [-] yuan to buy six briquettes to keep warm for a day, but aristocratic families say it is totally worth it!

Not to mention twenty yuan a piece, even a hundred yuan a piece, they will buy it.

There is no way, in the winter, the rich don't want to enjoy the blessings.

Therefore, within a few days, Li Zhiyun made a huge fortune and enriched his private treasury again.

Soon, the news about honeycomb coal spread, and the restless censor once again impeached the prince to fight for the interests of the people. It was not the prince's doing, so the matter should be handed over to the court for management immediately.

Regarding this, Li Zhiyun threw it aside with a backhand, as if he didn't see it.

As for the government and the public, many ministers sold soap from the Weihe workshop. Naturally, they turned a blind eye to the honeycomb briquette matter, and would not dare to offend the prince for the so-called "gift".

Not worth it.

Without the support of the ministers, it would be in vain for the censor to jump up and down.What's more, what is Yushi?
When they became swords in the hands of the emperor, Yushi was stern and selfless.

When they spray the emperor, it's just for facade decoration.

Historically, why Li Shimin tolerated Wei Zheng again and again was only for the four words "enlightened king" he asked for.

Honeycomb briquettes are popular in Chang'an, so some people naturally hope to get goods from the workshop and sell them on their behalf.This time, Li Zhiyun directly refused.

What a joke, the soap has just started to be distributed nationwide, and at this moment I want to get the idea of ​​briquettes, how can this work.

What's more, coal slag is also limited. Now Li Zhiyun has not developed coal on a large scale, so how can he get so much goods for others.

Therefore, for the time being, Li Zhiyun is alone in the interests of briquettes.

Although everyone is greedy, there is nothing they can do. Who told this to be a product made by His Highness the Prince's workshop.

You have to admit it even if you don’t.
