at this time.

A stone that can burn, this matter is heard by everyone in the imperial study room, it is very fantasy!

However, it greatly stimulated Emperor Xia!

Because, he is Xia Zhou who pursues immortality!

He believes that there is a fairy world in the sky, that there are immortal immortals in the sky, and that he is the son of destiny, the incarnation of the legendary real dragon in the world, and the supreme being in the world.

That's why he wants to hold the authority in this world forever and become the eternal supreme in this world.

The former Qin unified the Central Plains, and Qin Zulong was revered as the first emperor!

He wants to unify this continent and become the real emperor of this continent through the ages!

In his consciousness, a stone is a stone that cannot be heated.

Now, the little Xuanzhi eunuch told him that he was very excited to find a kind of flammable stone in the barren state!

Can this thing exist in the world?

Could it be the fairy stone?

His heart was beating faster, and he was staring at Xiaochunzi's mouth!

This made Xiao Chunzi feel great pressure, and quickly spit out a name: "Coal!"

"coal?"

Emperor Xia frowned: "What a weird name!"

"There is no fairy energy at all!"

"Who named it?"

Xiao Chunzi hurriedly said: "I heard from the guards of the Huangzhou Palace that it was taken by their prince!"

"Xiao Jiu took it?"

Emperor Xia frowned even deeper: "Xiao Jiu's poems and essays are the best in the world, how could he come up with such an ugly name?"

"Is it just a vulgar thing?"

"Xiao Chunzi, apart from being able to burn, what's so strange about this coal?"

Xiaochunzi thought for a while and said: "When this kind of thing burns, it emits black smoke, which looks like poisonous smoke. I asked the people in the barren state palace and heard that the smoke is poisonous. If it is burned in the house, the smoke will be poisonous." It can poison people to death!"

"A murderous creature?"

Emperor Xia felt wrong again!

His brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "Wangzhou Wangfu is digging this kind of coal vigorously?"

"Yes!"

Xiaochunzi added: "Not only that, when the Huangzhou Palace is digging the coal, there are heavy guards around it, and the coal is not allowed to flow out!"

"The excavation site can even be described as heavily guarded!"

Xia Di's eyes flickered with wisdom, and he said thoughtfully: "Xiao Jiu never targets without purpose!"

"He used such a large amount of manpower to dig, and the guards are tight, which shows that the coal is very useful!"

"Old man, I want to know the use of coal as quickly as possible, and leave this matter to your Imperial City Secretary!"

Suddenly, a hint of helplessness flashed in Emperor Xia's eyes: "If you really can't find out the secrets of the Barren State, you can ask Xiao Jiu directly!"

"I'm really afraid that with your ability as a spy from the imperial city...you will have to spy on me for a year or so before I can know the answer!"

"At that time, to use the slang word from the Huangzhou Palace, it will be...the day lily will be cold!"

Eunuch Wei and the Deputy Envoy of the Imperial City Department were terrified!

There is no way!

As long as it involves the secrets of the Huangzhou Palace, it will never be discovered!

Now, the scouts of the Imperial City Division are already feeling panic and fear of inquiring about the affairs of the Huangzhou Palace!

Because, those spies monitoring the palace have all disappeared!

The Huangzhou Prince's Mansion is the black hole of the imperial city's spies. Once you enter, you will never come out again!

Fortunately, the emperor is a sensible person!

The deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department hastily resigned, and decided to personally take the emperor's question, that is, a verbal order, to the barren state to bring back the answer!

Why does rock-like coal burn?

What is the use?

Coal, one of the best things in the world, burns at a high temperature, burns for a long time, and has less ash. It is really like a fairy stone!

Because of the coal, the iron tools cultivated in the barren state are the best in this continent!

Because of coal, steel was smelted in Huangzhou!

As a result, the swords of the warriors in the barren state became sharper and unparalleled in the world.

For soldiers, the sword is the "second life". Having a good weapon on the battlefield means having a good life!

Even the agricultural tools in the barren state, because of the coal, are of better quality, easier to use, and last longer.

Not only that.

Winter is coming.

With coal, Huangzhou can crush coal and mix it with yellow mud, charcoal powder, etc. to produce simple and burnable briquettes.

When the weather is cold and the westerly wind is blowing, people in Huangzhou can put a small stove in their house, light briquettes to cook food in the house, boil water, and surround themselves for warmth.

In short, coal will be used to the extreme in the barren state.

Because, there is a summer that knows the usage of coal well.

Seeing the Deputy Envoy of Huangcheng Department leave in a hurry, Emperor Xia said: "Xiao Chunzi, besides these two strange things, are there any other strange things in Huangzhou?"

Xiao Chunzi remembered the gold and silver that the Huangzhou Palace had given him, and quickly shook his head: "Go back to Your Majesty, there is no more!"

At this time.

Xia Dicai asked thoughtfully: "Your memorial only focused on the matter of the Dao Discussion Conference in the Barren State, I would like to ask you, what is the current situation with so many people pouring into the Barren State?

Xiaochunzi quickly replied: "Your Majesty, Xiaochunzi traveled all the way and saw that the barren state is full of construction projects and houses are being built everywhere. The whole barren state is like a big construction site. After people enter the barren state from the Tianmen Mountain camp, they can work. Those who went straight to the construction site and exchanged their labor for food!"

"Xiao Chunzi heard that the houses they built will be distributed according to their contributions in the barren state!"

"The officials of the Huangzhou Palace said that this is called work for relief!"

Sima Jian's eyes brightened: "Wonderful!"

Emperor Xia raised his hand to stop Sima Jian from continuing!

He asked with serious eyes: "Prince, Prime Minister Zuo thinks it's very good for the Huangzhou Palace to implement work relief!"

"What do you think is so wonderful?"

Summer Storm: "..."

Ask him why?

How does he know?

As the former king of Yangzhou, if so many poor people and refugees with no money entered his territory...he would not do it!

These untouchables and refugees must be driven away!

Not to mention that he would be like a dead old man, using the money he earned so hard in the barren state to buy food for those pariahs, let those pariahs and refugees build houses, and finally return them to live in!

In the past, when a disaster occurred in Yangzhou, the imperial court appropriated money and food for disaster relief. His Yangzhou Palace took [-]% of it, which is the greatest kindness to those victims!

Now, Emperor Xia asked him what is the magic of such a loss-making business in Huangzhou?

He really can't see it!

Because, such a loss-making business, he will never do it!

and so.

"This this......"

The prince hesitated and couldn't tell why he came!

Disappointment appeared in Emperor Xia's eyes for the third time, which was accurately captured by Xia Bao!

Immediately, a wave of anger aimed at Xia Tian came out from his dantian and rushed straight to Tianling Gai!

He didn't provoke the barren state of the dead nine today!

What is this for?

Dead old nine is governing in the barren state, so it's none of his prince's business?

Why did the emperor ask him?

Why should you turn pale with disappointment in his eyes?

At this moment, Xia Bao was so aggrieved that he wanted to split open in place!

Seeing that the crown prince was speechless, Emperor Xia's eyes became even more disappointed: "Master Zuo, just speak up!"

"Yes!"

Sima Jian then said: "When people enter the barren state with hope, they must have unknown panic in their hearts, and their hearts are uneasy!"

"The barren state adopts the method of work-for-relief, so that people who enter the barren state will have something to do and food to eat immediately, and their hearts will naturally be stable, and the anxiety in people's hearts will naturally be greatly eliminated!"

"After getting busy, people will naturally not think about it, and they don't have extra energy and strength to make trouble!"

"More importantly, with these labor forces, the construction of the barren state will follow the intention of the barren state's palace to build a new barren state!"

"Furthermore, these Xinhuangzhou people know that the house is built for themselves. When building it, they will not cut corners or mess around, so that the quality of the building is guaranteed!"

"What's even better is that they know that allocating houses requires credit, so they can stimulate people to work hard for the houses. With goals, people will strive for meritorious service and performance. The living atmosphere is better!"

"Eventually, the houses will be built according to plan!"

"In the end, those who enter the barren state are still hardworking!"

"In the end, the entire barren state remained stable!"

"In the end, people are also fed!"

"Finally, if these houses are divided, the prince will be loved by all the people in Huangzhou!"

"So, does the crown prince think that the Ninth Prince Huangzhou King's implementation of the work-for-relief policy of the Huangzhou Palace is wonderful?"

Xia Di looked at the void outside the door, and there was a trace of yearning on his face: "Master Zuo said it well!"

"But Xiaojiu's work-for-relief strategy is even better!"

"Now, the right minister is vacant. If he is in the imperial capital, I really want to keep him in the imperial capital to help me!"

The prince hated him when he heard the words!

If Si Laojiu is the right prime minister with the halo of the king of Huangzhou, is there still a shelter in the court?

At that time, the left and right prime ministers belong to the same family, so he doesn't have to be a prince, and he will be kicked out of the East Palace sooner or later!

This, absolutely not!

Dead Nine, you have to become a dead person!

Must die!

He swears!

but.

Emperor Xia still didn't let him go: "Prince, isn't it wonderful that your brother Jiu Wang used this strategy?"

The prince forced a smile on his face: "It's wonderful!"

"Then you study hard?"

"My son obeys the order!"

The corner of Emperor Xia's mouth curled up meaningfully: "Prince, after the situation in the barren state is stabilized, if I call your nine princes back to the imperial capital to serve as the right prime minister, would you agree?

Immediately.

The entire imperial study room was silent!

"Say?"

"Say it directly?"
