Big businessman.

Starting from the north, the weather is getting cooler day by day.

It’s still autumn, and it’s already started to snow in many places in the north.

The weather is so unusual that it’s incredible.

Dashang Capital City is located in the center of Dashang. Although it has not started to snow like in the north, the weather has obviously started to get colder.

Fotan has once again become a matter of concern to the people.

The Li family and the Changsun family are sending more people to burn charcoal in preparation for the coming cold winter.

Li Garden, inner courtyard.

After Li Youwei put on her fur robe, she quickly left the house, got on the carriage and rushed towards Changsun's house.

Inside the Changsun Mansion.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao is already waiting.

Today, in addition to the eldest grandson Nanqiao, the fourth prince Mubai and the ninth princess Murong also arrived in the mansion.

"Your Royal Highness the Fourth, Ninth Princess."

In the main hall, Li Youwei walked in under the leadership of the waiter and saluted politely.

"Sister Li, there is no need to be polite."

Murong stepped forward, helped the woman in front of him, and said with a smile, "There are no outsiders here, so no formalities are required. Sister Li, please sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess."

Li Youwei responded and sat down in front of the seat next to her.

"Miss Li, where is Brother Li now?"

On the opposite side, Mu Bai took the initiative to speak and asked.

"Southern Xinjiang Witch Clan."

Li Youwei replied.

"Just arrived in southern Xinjiang?"

Mu Bai was slightly startled and said in surprise.

It's been more than a month, why did he arrive at Southern Xinjiang? He thought that the boy was almost at Nanling.

"There was a little accident."

Li Youwei said softly, "My little brother caused some trouble in southern Xinjiang and was detained in the Holy Land by the Witch Queen. A few days ago, Hongzhu took the money to redeem people. I think it will be solved soon."

"..."

In the main hall, Mu Bai and others were speechless after hearing this.

He got into trouble and got into the Witch Clan. That kid is really not an ordinary person.

"Where is the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal? Isn't he with Professor Li?" Murong asked curiously.

With the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal here, can Professor Li be detained by the Wu Clan?

"When my younger brother was arrested, she seemed to have escaped alone." Li Youwei replied.

The intelligence that came later said this, and I don't know whether it is true or not. Their intelligence network in southern Xinjiang is really average.

"Escaped?"

Mu Bai, Murong, and the eldest grandson Nanqiao looked shocked after hearing what the Li family's daughter said.

Can it still be like this?

The master left his disciples alone and ran away. What happened?

Li Youwei saw a look of helplessness on her face when she saw the three people's gazes.

This is probably the case, what can she do.

When I was in Liyuan, I didn't feel that Sister Qin was so unreliable.

In the main hall.

After a brief shock, the three people came to their senses and chose not to hear anything and not make any comments on the matter.

Deserve it!

"Ahem, Youwei, how's the production going at Huotan over at the Li family?"

The eldest grandson, Nanqiao, coughed lightly, brought the topic back to business, and asked.

"Twice as much as last year."

Li Youwei responded, "With limited manpower, the Li family can only do this."

"My eldest grandson's family is pretty much the same."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao sighed lightly, "There are not that many manpower at all. The people of the entire Dashang have to use charcoal. Even if they don't eat or drink in time to work, there will be no time to supply."

“Firing charcoal is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and the output is ultimately limited.”

Li Youwei said solemnly, "So, it is necessary for the Fourth Highness to make progress here so that the winter heating problems of the merchants can be alleviated."

"Fourth brother, tell me."

On the side, Murong spoke and said with a smile, "You are everyone's hope now."

"I have followed Brother Li's method and sent people to search for the open-pit coal mines and crude oil mines."

Mu Bai said calmly, "The whereabouts of the coal mines have been found, and extra manpower has been sent to mine them. What I want to ask is, do those coal mines have to be processed before they can be used? I heard from my servants that the raw coal can be burned directly."

"It has to be dealt with."

Li Youwei said sternly, "My little brother said that those raw coals will cause great harm to the body if not processed. Before I left, I also kept the method of handling the raw coal. As long as His Highness's raw coal is delivered, my Li family will

Work can start at any time.”

"I'm very curious about what else that little guy can't do."

Next to him, Changsun Nanqiao couldn't help but ask, "Where did he learn these things from?"

"My little brother is a genius, he is born with knowledge."

Speaking of her younger brother, Li Youwei suddenly showed a proud look on her face and said.

It's like a mother praising her children.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao and Murong looked at each other and immediately withdrew their gazes.

They don't know whether the Li boy is a genius, but he does know some things that the world doesn't understand.

"Miss Li, in the near future, I will send the mined raw coal to the Li family's workshops in various places, but there is one more thing."

Mu Bai looked serious and said, "It's just the price of coal. Miss Li, do you have any suggestions?"

"Two cents less than Huotan."

Li Youwei said calmly, "In this way, there will be no problem with the sale of coal, and we can also take the opportunity to suppress the price of coal."

Coal, after all, is a new thing and is definitely not as recognized as charcoal. However, its low price and resistance to burning are the advantages of coal. Sooner or later, it will be accepted by ordinary people.

"good."

Mu Bai nodded in agreement without any delay.

Originally, it was Brother Li who asked him to open the Mining Department. If it weren't for Brother Li's suggestion, he wouldn't even know what the raw coal was.

"Sister Li."

Seeing that the business was almost done, Murong opened his mouth and said with a smile, "Mother has always wanted to meet you. If you have time, how about a visit to the palace?"

"no."

Li Youwei shook her head gently and said, "My younger brother deliberately warned me before leaving that I would not be allowed to enter the palace."

When Murong heard this, his eyes were focused, and there was a trace of confusion in his heart.

A few days ago, she already knew about Feng Zongfeng's night break into Li Garden. However, the empress mother invited Sister Li to the palace out of good intentions. Sister Li was smart and must have seen the key to it, so why did she refuse?

Then why did Professor Li leave such words?

"Since it's Brother Li's advice, then forget it."

Opposite me, Mu Bai interrupted and said, "Miss Li, I'll leave it to you about the raw coal."

"Don't worry, Fourth Highness, our Li family will take care of this matter."

After saying that, Li Youwei stood up, bowed politely, and said, "Your Royal Highness, Ninth Princess, and Sister Nan Qiao, there are still things to deal with in my house, so I won't stay any longer and go ahead."

"Youwei, I'll give it to you."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao got up and saw him off in person.

"Um."
