"What's going on? Who is so bold as to act wild in the palace!" A loud voice sounded. Yang Ning turned around and saw that the guard commander Mou Tai had arrived with a group of men.

"Commander Mou, you are here at the right time. These two people from Funing Palace came to our Xixin Department and made trouble without reason. They broke things and injured people. They were so arrogant. You have to arrest them.

!" Ma Ying shouted hurriedly when she saw Mou Tai's guards with swords.

Mou Tai looked at the mess around him and did not comment on Ma Ying's words. He just smiled and looked at Yang Ning and said: "Isn't this the new Manager Yang of Funing Palace? How come you have time to come to this place where birds don't shit?"

?”

Ma Ying's face turned ugly when he heard this, and he forgot for a moment that Mou Tai was not the same as him.

This Mou Tai is just here to cheer me up! Yang Ning said with a smile on his face: "Isn't this Brother Mou? Brother, there is nothing we can do. Someone wants to embarrass the princess. Brother, come over and see what kind of ugly thing it is. If you want to

No one wants to come to a place where birds don’t poop! Brother Mou, how come you have time to come to a place where birds don’t poop?”

"Haha, I didn't listen to the brothers guarding the Xihua Gate who said there was trouble here, so I came here to have a look, but I heard from Manager Yang that someone actually wanted to embarrass the princess. Who is so bold and dares to embarrass the emperor's most beloved Princess Yongning?

It’s because I’m impatient with life!”

The relationship between the two of them was self-evident. Ma Ying said with a sullen face: "Commander Mou, as the commander of the palace guards, now someone comes here to make trouble unreasonably. How can you hold the troublemaker accountable and instead call him a brother?"

, is there any royal method for this?"

Mou Tai sneered: "Mr. Ma, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. This is my duty as commander. Naturally, I have to ask the matter clearly before speaking. Manager Yang, what is going on?"

Yang Ning didn't need to speak, Xiang Zhong rushed to tell General Mou Tai what had happened. He kept saying that he was doing business for the company, while the Secretary Xixin made things difficult for Funing Palace in every possible way, despised the princess, and ignored the princess's frailty and fear.

Han, I don't want to supply charcoal for the brazier of Funing Palace.

"Mr. Ma, is what he said true?" Mou Tai asked coldly.

"Of course not! Our Xinxing Department did not say that we would not supply charcoal to Funing Palace. It's just that the situation in northern Xinjiang and the Mongolian tribes of the imperial court is tight this year, so the supply of charcoal will naturally become tight. Not to mention the princess palace, even the emperor will take the lead in reducing the supply.

The rules for the use of charcoal, like those in previous years, will naturally have to be changed. Commander Mou, as the commander of the guards, you are not unclear about the situation in Northern Xinjiang, right?"

"this……!"

Mou Tai was speechless for a moment. He naturally knew the situation in northern Xinjiang. If what happened today was indeed caused by the brazier charcoal incident, then it was really Yang Ning's fault.

Yang Ning now knew clearly in his heart that although the Ma Ying in front of him was part of Meng Tong and Teng Xiang's group, in today's incident, Ma Ying was probably not instigated by Meng Tong and others to embarrass him.

It's right to think about it. Even people like Meng Tong and Teng Xiang were punished and demoted for offending Princess Yongning. Ma Ying, a small salary-grudging director, must not have such courage. Meng Tong and Teng Xiang

Teng Xiang would not be stupid enough to let Ma Ying provoke Funing Palace so obviously again. He just had a preconceived idea and took it for granted that Ma Ying was instigated by Meng Tong and others to embarrass Funing Palace.

The reason for today's incident is probably exactly what Ma Ying said. Tensions with the northern Mongolian ministries led to a tight supply of charcoal. This is because the fine white charcoal used in the palace is different from the low-quality and low-quality charcoal used by the people.

Black charcoal can only be made from the finest wood from the old mountains and forests outside Guanwai. A slight war in northern Xinjiang will naturally affect the "import" of this fine white charcoal!

But what Yang Ning has always wondered is: Why don't people in this era burn coal? The only explanation is that in this era, the value of coal has not been discovered, or it has only been used on a very small scale and has not been used on a large scale.

collection and popularization.

Thinking of this, Yang Ning's heart skipped a beat. If he left the palace in the future, went to Shanxi to dig a few coal mines, and sold the coal throughout the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't he be rich?

This sudden idea made Yang Ning very excited. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He didn't care about talking about brazier charcoal with Xixin Secretary. He needed to go back and think about a plan on how to make a fortune by selling coal.

How to inspect, how to mine, how to develop additional stoves, the most important thing is to confirm to what extent coal is used in this era. But according to Yang Ning's impression, let alone the Ming Dynasty, even the Qing Dynasty, the palace

The fire inside is also charcoal from a brazier. I don't think I've ever heard of coal burning.

"Brother Mou, since it is a misunderstanding, I think this matter will be forgotten. When we go back, the princess and I will report the truth truthfully. The princess should also understand. That's it, Xiang Zhong, let's go!" Yang Ning said lightly.

"No! You two are causing so much trouble in our Xixin Division, why can't you leave so easily? Commander Mou, what do you say?" Ma Ying became confident, how could she let Yang Ning leave so easily!

"Then what do you want?" Mou Tai frowned.

"Our family——, our family...!" Ma Ying didn't know what to do for a moment. He had also heard about Yang Ning's previous incidents. Even people like Meng Tong and Teng Xiang couldn't do anything to Yang Ning. He could

what to do!

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, give you a chance, go to Eunuch Meng and sue me! I'll wait for what to do! Xiang Zhong, let's go!" Yang Ning said impatiently, then turned to Mou Tai and said: "Brother Mou,

If you have something to do today, I’ll treat you to a drink another day!”

Mou Tai's eyes lit up, he came forward and said in a low voice: "Brother, the average wine brother doesn't like to drink!"

Yang Ning understood as soon as she thought about it, and smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will have to ask the princess to give me another jar of royal wine, so that we brothers can have a good drink!"

Mou Tai said happily: "Good brother, you still know my brother's thoughts! To be honest, apart from guarding the palace, my brother only has these few hobbies!"

The two of them were joking and talking, which made Ma Ying curse in her heart, but she also understood in her heart that the loss she suffered today was in vain! It was so damn evil that such a little eunuch appeared out of thin air and saved the princess by God.

With great merit, he is like a stupid young man who is not afraid of anyone and acts unscrupulously. Even a powerful figure like Eunuch Meng suffered a loss, but he can only be secretly angry. He dare not do anything openly and can only secretly plan revenge.

.

Yang Ning said goodbye to Mou Tai in a hurry and took Xiang Zhong back to the palace. He always had the idea of ​​mining coal in his heart. It would be a huge fortune. If things go well, he could even become rich just by selling coal.

But the enemy country! When I leave this palace with Shui Ling, I won't be able to catch the wind and rain, and enjoy all the wealth and happiness in the world!

Yang Ning was inspired by this tempting idea and walked briskly.

Xiang Zhong jogged to keep up with Yang Ning, and asked breathlessly: "Brother Ning, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so happy?"

"Happy? Of course I'm happy! Haha, Xiang Zhong, you did a good job today and didn't embarrass me, so I'm very happy!"

"Hey! I'm relieved. At first I was worried that you would blame me for causing trouble for you!" Xiang Zhong said with a sigh.

"Xiang Zhong, as I said before, if others don't mess with us, we won't mess with them. If they mess with us, then of course we can't be a coward, we can only beat him up like a bastard!" Yang Ning said with great pride.

"Yes! Beat him for a bastard!" Xiang Zhong also shouted. After a pause, he scratched his head and chuckled: "Brother Ning, don't tell me, the feeling of beating someone is just one word - great!
