Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

You must know that the best charcoal now can only burn two sticks of incense.

And as far as Li Shimin's own feeling is concerned, the temperature of the charcoal-burning brazier is far lower than that of the briquette-burning stove.

Li Shimin's imperial study room was about the same size as this room, and it was still unbearably cold after lighting two braziers, but Li You's place also had two stoves, but it was completely warm in spring.

"What's the price of Yuer's briquettes?"

Li You smiled, and replied: "Father, don't worry, the price of this briquette is cheap, and ordinary people in Chang'an City can afford it."

This time Li You did not say a specific price.

It wasn't that he didn't know how much to sell, but that he was afraid that Li Shimin would be frightened if he said the price.

[I'm not going to directly talk about the price. Basically, it doesn't cost money to mine it. The cost is the freight and the money for pressing it into briquettes. 】

[Even if I buy [-] Wen each, I guess I will earn about [-] Wen. 】

Hearing the voice of his heart, Li Shimin felt relieved and extremely shocked at the same time.

Twenty cents can be burned for one night, which is nothing compared to charcoal.

Thinking of the amount of charcoal needed in the palace for one night, Li Shimin felt heartache.

Now he can't wait to replace all the charcoal in the palace with briquettes.

"You'er, I really didn't expect this stove to be so effective. Let someone send hundreds of them into the palace first. Both I and your concubine will need them!"

However, after saying this, Li You did not react, but Li Shimin's eyes widened when he saw Master Feng.

He quickly looked at Master Feng and asked, "Master Feng, what's the matter?"

Master Feng swallowed his saliva and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, we have just started producing this stove recently. It is not a problem if you want dozens of them, but there is really no problem for hundreds of them!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was also a little embarrassed.

But soon he came up with an idea: "You'er, it's not difficult for me to look at the stove, why don't you ask the craftsmen to hand it over to the craftsman from the Ministry of Works and the craftsman who will be the supervisor to make it together, and it should be able to make it in a short time."

"In the palace, don't need so many, but fifty are always needed. After all, there is still your grandpa, so you have to send them over!"

"Also, Yu'er, prepare a dozen more stoves and cotton-padded clothes. Many ministers have also fallen ill in the severe cold recently. Among them, Du Shangshu is the most ill. I have to send them there as well."

Li Shimin said this very sincerely, this winter is really too cold, there are quite a few veterans in Chang'an, if they don't have these magical weapons to keep out the cold, it is estimated that this person will have a hard time surviving this winter.

Hearing this, Li You couldn't help but nodded.

【According to the fact that it is now the end of the year, if there is no such things to keep out the cold, it is estimated that the old man Du Yan will really not be able to survive. 】,

[Hey, speaking of it, Jingzhao Du's family is unfortunate. One family and two prime ministers will die one after another in the next two years, and the Du family will gradually sink. 】

After getting the graphic and video room recently, Li You also made up for the history of Tang Dynasty, and has a better understanding of the situation of these famous historical figures.

Immediately, Li You said to Li Shimin: "Father's things will be sent to the palace later, and Du Shangshu's ministers will go and deliver them in person."

This made Li Shimin feel a little strange.

'This bastard, he is too lazy to look like a salted fish on weekdays, why is he so diligent today? '

Li Shimin was still planning to find the answer from Li You's heart, but found that Li You was not thinking about this matter at all.

[Hey, it's all my fault that I forgot to let them make stoves with all their strength. Nowadays, clean coal is enough for the people in Chang'an and Gyeonggi, but there is no stove. 】

[We still have to find a way to mobilize these aristocratic families so that everyone can produce stoves to meet Chang'an's requirements. 】

[Looks like that method has to be used again! 】

Li Shimin was overwhelmed by this heartfelt voice. He felt that he could understand every word, but he still didn't understand it together.

Li Shimin was even more puzzled as to what that method was.

Just when Li Shimin couldn't help but was about to ask, Li You finally thought of something he could understand.

【However, this time should be much more convenient than the last time. Didn’t Li Er just say that he would send stoves to the ministers? This saves me the time for publicity. 】

[Such an artifact to keep out the cold, those who know the goods will be able to immediately see the value in it. 】

[At that time, I only need to increase the price of the stove a little bit, and these ministers will start imitating the stove immediately after they have samples of the stove. 】

[The output is high, and I will let people secretly lower the price to sell it and start a price war. 】

[Those aristocratic families who have goods in their hands will naturally fight. If you drop five cents and I drop five cents, the price will be suppressed. 】

[As long as there are still profits in the future, these aristocratic families will definitely not give up, and will definitely take the initiative to open up the Gyeonggi market and the colder north. 】

[In this way, I only need to ensure the supply of clean coal. 】

[Although the profit of the stove is a little less, you also helped me open up the market for free. 】

[The stove is just a tool, and it is clean coal that is making money. 】

【And do you think this stove is really that simple? 】

Hearing Li You's last rhetorical question, Li Shimin was also surprised.

Li You's few simple words made Chang'an's aristocratic family very powerful.

After fighting wits and bravery with the aristocratic families for many years, Li Shimin naturally knows that these aristocratic families are not profitable.

Before, he also thought about letting these aristocratic families produce stoves to deal with the disaster, but thinking of the difficulty of negotiating with these aristocratic families, Li Shimin finally didn't say anything.

But he didn't expect that what Li Shimin couldn't finish after racking his brains, Li You finished it lightly.

And in Li Shimin's view, even if these aristocratic families come back to the final round, they may not necessarily find that they have been tricked by Li You.

On the contrary, they would be grateful to Li You for finding another way to make money for them, but they didn't expect that they would all become Li You's tools before they knew it.

Now that Li You had a solution, Li Shimin didn't worry about it anymore. He asked Li Junxian and others to take ten stoves and hundreds of briquettes first, and then happily returned to the palace.

This time, Li You asked Yu Huatian and Li Shimin to go back to the palace together.

Although burning a stove indoors can keep warm, there are also many hidden safety hazards, especially now that the queen and concubine Yin are pregnant, it is even more sloppy.

So Li You asked Yuhuatian to decorate the two stoves, and at the same time told the servants on both sides of the precautions.

As soon as Li Shimin left, Li You immediately entered the palace. He brought four stoves and nearly a hundred briquettes, and headed towards Jingzhao Du's mansion.
