God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 532

Yuchi Baolin is a rough person.

Rough people have their own way of dealing with things, in a word: just do it and you're done.

Therefore, when everyone began to waver, Yuchi Baolin withstood the pressure and continued to increase production.

These are his thousands of horses, carrying his dreams and glory.

Every extra briquette produced is a pride.

Worried about Mu Zongsi and others slowing down the speed of making briquettes, Yuchi Baolin put on two thick robes and went to the battle to supervise them.

For a while, everyone thought that the newly appointed factory manager was crazy.

……

Royal Palace.

Tai Chi Temple.

"Report to Your Majesty, Huazhou, Tongzhou, Qingzhou and other places urgently report that the heavy snow has caused the collapse of houses, bridges and roads, and there are cases of people freezing to death in various places..."

"Your Majesty, the various ministries have already started preparing for disaster relief, but the snow has not yet melted, and only the emergency reports from Guannei and Longyou Prefectures and counties have reached Chang'an, and the emergency reports from other places are still on the way. It is not yet possible to judge that our Tang Dynasty has been affected by the disaster. Condition……"

"Your Majesty, please give an order immediately, let all regions save themselves!"

"..."

The buzzing sound below made Li Er feel very uncomfortable.

At this moment, an official stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Chang'an urgently reports that there have been cases of civilians dying of cold in Chang'an County and Wannian County. As of yesterday evening, more than ten people have died!"

This news directly interrupted Li Er's thoughts.

He was surprised and said: "Most of the people in this capital are rich, why did people freeze to death? What do Xu Zhiyuan and others do?"

The official said: "Your Majesty does not know, since Dream Group started selling hot water tablets, the price of charcoal and firewood in Beijing has increased five times within a month. The firewood that used to cost 20 yuan may not be able to pay for 100 yuan now." I can buy... Nowadays, it has been snowing for days, and the firewood sold around me cannot enter Beijing, and the price is even more expensive. Ordinary people can no longer afford firewood and charcoal, even if they have money... Early this morning, I listened. People say that before the East Market and West Market started for half an hour, all the charcoal and firewood were sold out..."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Since Duhe invented hot water tablets, the quality of heating has improved several levels, but the consumption of firewood is also increasing. The main thing is the stove for boiling water, which is too expensive. Originally, a The firewood hoarded in the house can survive the winter, but after using hot water tablets, it burns out in less than half a month.

Some people even lamented that Du He was responsible for the thick smoke billowing in the capital all day long.

The official's words seemed to stir up waves.

"Your Majesty, all these disasters were caused by Du He."

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Huyi County sold hot water tablets, which caused people to freeze to death in Chang'an. Please investigate this matter strictly!"

"This hot water tablet can no longer be used!"

"yes……"

There was an uproar in the hall.

Fang Xuanling and the others opened their eyes wide in surprise.

These confident officials were the first to buy hot water tablets back then, and they were still enjoying the warmth brought by hot water tablets in the freezing and snowy world, but in a blink of an eye, they attacked Du He one after another.

Let's take a look again, it turns out that Du Xiang is not going to court today.

Thinking about it again, these guys are jealous, and they don't want Du He to make money, so they jump out and criticize one by one.

Fortunately, there are still people in the court who understand, and Li Er is not a confused emperor. He immediately turned black and said, "Shut up...don't mention this matter again. This kind of disappearance can’t be done well. Now that there is a snowstorm, the most important thing is to rescue the people, so that the people don’t die from the cold, but look at you, there is no way. I am disappointed."

Li Er was indeed a little disappointed.

What a great contribution Du He made to invent the hot water tablet. Let alone the Tai Chi Hall, the Imperial Study Room, and the bedroom. Everywhere is as warm as spring. It is true that the price of firewood and charcoal is too high. But does this mean that Du He is a sinner?
Li Er was furious.

"The Sixth Department hastened to make a plan. How to relieve the disaster will be discussed tomorrow. Now, let's talk about how to solve the problem of the price of firewood and charcoal in Chang'an..."

Everyone started talking again.

It's a pity that there is no good way to discuss and discuss.

This firewood and charcoal are not food, and they were not within the scope of the government's hoarding. Now that the ice and snow have not melted, the roads into the mountains to collect firewood are blocked. It is impossible to get firewood in large quantities.

In the end, nothing happened, and Li Er had to announce his withdrawal from the court.

……

Snapped.

Du He slammed his fist on the table.

"So, this young master has become the blame man instead? The price of firewood in Chang'an City has doubled, and people who froze to death are all this young master's fault?" Du He asked dumbfounded.

Li Lizhi nodded, and said with righteous indignation: "The news I just heard from the palace, these guys are really maddening... It's too disrespectful to curse people while using our hot water tablets."

With that said, Li Lizhi took out a piece of paper.

Du He asked, "What is this?"

The little beauty smiled: "This is what the princess threatened Zhao Yang to dictate. It is the list of people who attacked you in the Tai Chi Hall today. This princess will send someone to smash all the hot water tablets in these guys' homes. In the future, Dream Group will no longer sell hot water tablets to them, let them continue to burn charcoal for warmth."

Li Lizhi is indeed very aggressive.

But it was stopped by Du He: "Forget it, why waste our manpower, they can say whatever they like, as long as it doesn't affect my young master's money, there are more people supporting me, even His Majesty Standing by my side, what are you afraid of..."

Although Du He was upset, he still had more important things to do right now, so he naturally wouldn't spend his energy on dealing with the troubles of these officials who were full and had nothing to do.

……

Sikong House.

late at night.

Chang Sun Chong asked curiously: "Father, why did you come to me in such a hurry? I've been making briquettes to a critical point these days."

Changsun Wuji motioned to Changsun Chong to close the door, and then said: "My father seems to have guessed the real reason why Du He made the briquettes."

"Father... Is what you said true?"

This problem not only troubled Changsun Chong, but also troubled those big briquette-making households in Chang'an City.

They followed suit completely, thinking that it was Du He's use to make money, and started making briquettes all at once, but everyone was dumbfounded as they made no move from the Dream Group for a long time.

What is the purpose of making briquettes?
This became a question that no one could answer.

But seeing Changsun Wuji showing a wise smile, he said: "Du He, boy, sure enough, I underestimated him before. He has Yuan Tiangang by his side. I'm afraid I've predicted the heavy snowfall. In the hall, Chang'an County and Wannian County have already reported to His Majesty, the people died of cold because they couldn't afford firewood and charcoal... Weifu suddenly thought, isn't this briquette just for burning for warmth?"

Snapped.

"Yes, Dad, why didn't I think of it before..."

Chang Sun Chong slapped his thigh, and suddenly figured it out, feeling so excited.
