Chapter 293

In the evening, the supervisor of the Ministry of Industry produced ten coal stoves, five of which were carefully carved by the master craftsmen of the palace, and paid tribute to Li Er for use!
Making briquettes is even easier. Jiang Zuojian made more than 1000 of them overnight!
Moreover, the coal stoves and briquettes that will be supervised are all produced in an assembly line!

In this way, the output of coal monitoring stove and honeycomb coal will be improved!

Early the next morning, Yan Lide sent five coal stoves carved with dragons and phoenixes into the Ganlu Hall.

Five hundred pieces of smokeless briquettes specially supplied to Li Er were also paid as a tribute.

These briquettes are enough to use the imperial dining hall for a month.

Li Erqi went to court early, and when he learned that the Ministry of Industry had sent the coal stove, he immediately ordered someone to bring the coal stove over.

When five finely carved coal stoves appeared in front of Li Er's eyes, he was immediately shocked.

These coal stoves are made of high-quality brass with a layer of gold leaf plating on the outside, which looks golden and very dignified!

The more Li Er watched it, the more he liked it, and he was full of praise: "The coal stove made by Jiang Zuo is better than blue!"

Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, flattered his horse and said: "Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, and my minister is convinced!"

Li Er asked curiously, "Yan Lide, how much does a coal stove like this cost?"

"Your Majesty, the production cost of the gold-plated coal stove is consistent money."

Yan Lide continued: "If it is not gold-plated, the cost of making a coal stove is less than [-] Wen!"

Li Er was stunned and said: "Can I make an ordinary coal stove with fifty cents?"

Next to the Ganlu Hall, there are coal stoves for heating and boiling water. These coal stoves are huge, and the production cost is also high!
Therefore, Datang's mobile coal stove cannot be popularized by ordinary people!
Only those princes, dukes, relatives and aristocratic families in Datang could afford such a portable coal stove.

Li Er was filled with emotion when he thought of this!
"Your Majesty, the inside of the coal stove is full of clay, which is worthless. What is valuable is the iron sheet wrapped outside, so the production cost is not high!"

Yan Lide explained methodically.

Li Er made a final decision and said: "Put down my will, and order all the workshops under the Ministry of Industry to mass-produce ordinary coal stoves for sale!"

"Slaves follow orders!"

The prince will draw up the decree immediately.

Li Er patted the exquisite coal stove in front of him, and said with a smile on his face: "Yan Lide, such an exquisite and noble coal stove, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty must like it, and you will be the supervisor to produce a thousand coal stoves for sale."

Yan Lide couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Majesty, how much do you plan to price a coal stove like this?"

Li Er held up a finger and said: "The royal coal stove that I pay tribute to me, isn't it expensive to sell a hundred pieces?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Yan Lide said with a smile on his face: "Many nobles in Chang'an City only buy things for nobility, and I believe that these thousand coal stoves will be sold out within a month!"

Li Erlong Yan Dayue said: "Yan Lide, one thousand coal stoves can be sold for [-] guan, and I will see the [-] guan in one month's time!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Yan Lide accepted the order without hesitation because he was confident in selling these royal coal stoves.

"I'm going to Xuanzheng Hall, Yan Lide, you should go too!"

After Li Er finished speaking, he left Ganlu Hall.

"Yes!" Yan Lide immediately returned to the Ministry of Industry to supervise the craftsmen making the imperial coal stove.

Ordinary coal stoves are handed over to some iron smelting workshops under the Ministry of Industry near Gyeonggi-do!
The Ministry of Industry will be the supervisor and can govern the blacksmiths in all states and counties of the Tang Dynasty.

This time Yan Lide plans to mobilize all blacksmiths in Gyeonggi Province to make coal stoves.

Ordinary people can make briquettes independently, so the Ministry of Industry directly recruits people from Chang'an City to make briquettes.

As Li Er's edict spread throughout Gyeonggi-do, craftsmen throughout Gyeonggi-do became busy.

……

Chang'an City, Suzaku Avenue!

In the morning, Li Er canceled today's morning court meeting, and brought all the civil and military officials to the tower of Suzaku Gate to watch the Turkic prince Ashnatur parade through the streets!

Dai Zhou, Minister of Dali Temple, dispatched Yamen servants early in the morning to drag Ashinatur and Zhishisili to the vicinity of Zhuque Street.

The common people in Chang'an City are very familiar with Ashnatur!
So as soon as Ashinatur appeared on Suzaku Street, he was thrown rotten eggs by the common people!
Yuchi's family even secretly threw excrement and urine on Ashinatul's head.

The last time Ashinatur sent a Turkic killer to assassinate Yuchihuan, which caused serious injury to Princess Changshan, and Yuchihuan was demoted to Zhongzhou!

The members of Yuchi's family hated Ashnatur deeply.

If they were not only worried about killing Ashinatur, the members of Yuchi's family would throw stones instead of throwing shit.

Ashnatur knelt in the prison car and burst into tears. He never thought that his majestic Turkic prince would have such a humiliating day.

If the servants of Dali Temple hadn't cleaned up the feces and rotten leaves on the prison cart in time, Ashinatur would have been buried in it.

Zhishisili is Jieli Khan's confidant, although he was also thrown rotten eggs and rotten leaves, but the situation is much better than Ashinatur.

When Li Er came to the tower of Suzaku Gate, he felt a sudden smell. He covered his nose and looked down, only to find that Ashinatur was surrounded by mountains of dung.

"Dai Zhou, what's going on?"

Li Er frowned, Ashnatur was a Turkic prince, it was against Tang etiquette to be treated like this.

Dai Zhou said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the common people knew that Ashinatul was planning to assassinate Little Yuchi and Princess Changshan, so they deliberately picked up feces and urine from their homes to drench him. The humble ministers can't stop him!"

Li Er snorted coldly and said, "Ashi Natur dared to attack my Chenglongkuai son-in-law Xiao Yuchi and Chang Shan, they deserved to end today!"

Originally, Li Er was a little sympathetic to Ashinatul.

But Dai Zhou mentioned the assassination of Princess Changshan and Yuchihuan, which aroused Li Er's anger. He wished to drag Ashnatur to Dongshi Caishikou and behead him to show the public!

Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and other civil servants and military generals also watched Ashinatur make a fool of himself with smiles on their faces.

Yu Chigong even stood up, filled with righteous indignation: "Your Majesty, Ashnatur led troops to attack Hedong Road without authorization, and the general suggested that he beheaded to show the public, as a warning to others!"

Cheng Yaojin echoed, "Your Majesty, Ashinatur sent Turkic killers to assassinate Yuchihuan and Princess Changshan. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, they will be beheaded there!"

Wei Zheng objected: "Your Majesty, if the Tang Dynasty is attacking the Turkic Tie Le tribe, if we kill the Turkic prince Ashnatur today, the Turkic tribes will probably resist the Tang army to the death!"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "Your Majesty, although Ashnatur deserves to die, but compared with appeasing the Turks, I believe that Ashnatur can be spared the crime of death, and cannot escape the crime of living!"

Li Er thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "Ashnatur assassinated my princess, he should have been executed, but because of Jieli Khan's sworn brotherhood with me, I can save him from death!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Wei Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin were dissatisfied, they did not stand up against Li Er's will.

Li Er's complexion changed, and he said majesticly: "Prince Ashnatur, the Turkic prince, can be exonerated from the death penalty, but he cannot escape the crime of living. He has been exiled to Qiongzhou for ten years, hereby!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

The yamen servant of Dali Temple dragged Ashnatur through the streets of [-]fang City, Chang'an City.

Li Er did not execute Zhisai Sili today, but waited for the end of the Turkic war before concentrating on the disposal of the Turkic prisoners!
