Chapter 182 The weather is hot, then go to Zhaojiazhuang
While the two continued to talk, several more carts were pushed out of the mine inside.
After pouring the coal aside, some workers put the coal on the carriage and carried it away.
Then the miner pushed the cart and walked in again, until the man went deeper and deeper and disappeared inside!
"My dear brother, after you said that, I became curious and wanted to go into the mine and have a look. What do you think it is like inside?"
This guy was just talking about arranging slaves of foreign races to come to work. Why did the conversation change and the scene of working inside was brought up?
The county magistrate tensed up and quickly tried to dissuade him!
"Shopkeeper Li, I've been in there before. It's so dark in the middle of winter, so a lot of lights are needed to light up the place.
The people working here are all rough people, Shopkeeper Li, if you go in with your status, it would be bad if you accidentally bump into them.
"The county magistrate was very careful about what he said, for fear of making His Majesty unhappy with anything he said.
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Mu again with an expectant look.
"Lao Li, I find you are really interesting. You want to participate in everything. Come in and learn about it for yourself?
Don’t you have a cellar in your Li Mansion?”
"There is a cellar!"
“You can also think of mining as digging a cellar.
It's just that the cellar is not as big or deep as the mine.
What is dug out in the cellar is soil, what is dug out in this coal mine is coal, that's all."
Hahahaha, Li Er laughed to cover up his embarrassment, and then waved his hand.
"Hey, dear brother, I'm just saying this. If you want me to come in, I don't want to come in yet.
But let’s arrange things like this today. Butler, after returning to Chang’an City this time, you must send someone to keep an eye on the tooth market for me.
As long as there are slaves from other races nearby, buy them all for me.
In addition, it is up to you, the county magistrate, to arrange more manpower to search for coal in this county and even the surrounding counties.
By then all the coal mines around Chang'an City will be monopolized by us, won't we have to make a lot of money by then?"
As he spoke, he began to fantasize about what to do with the money he earned.
As they spoke, several people left the place and walked around the mining area again.
Seeing these mountains of coal, Li Er calculated in his mind that based on the current usage in Chang'an City, these coals should be able to be used for two years.
"I said, Lao Song and Lao Li, I will leave the matter to you two. When the time comes, you, Lao Li, will send someone to the county to take over. I am going back to Zhuangzi."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I will definitely handle this matter properly.
Besides, shopkeeper Li had arranged for Butler Sun to come to the county seat.
We have already started cooperating, and I believe that the subsequent cooperation will be very pleasant."
Several people left the mining area, Zhao Mu got on the carriage and drove towards Zhuangzi.
Changsun Wuji drove the carriage and carried His Majesty back the same way, arrived at Zhaojiazhuang, and rushed along the road in the direction of Chang'an City.
On the other hand, the county magistrate sent the giant Buddha away again and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Mainly because of my status, with His Majesty’s status, the pressure to chat is still too much.
However, he believed that as he communicated and understood more deeply with His Majesty, he would definitely feel more at ease.
"Sir, why are you sweating?"
The guard on the side said something inappropriate, and the county magistrate glanced at him.
The guard was stunned, "I'll go, did I say something wrong again?"
By the way, you are really sweating, but the weather is not hot either. Is it possible that you are sick?
"Okay, nothing's wrong with me, it's just that the weather is too hot and I'm sweating.
I will leave this place to your management. I will notify you and arrange some people for me to search for black stones from this county.
Anyone who can find the black stone will be rewarded by the county magistrate.
In addition to this county, you can also search in other surrounding counties. If you find it, you will be rewarded heavily.
By the way, in addition to this county, people from other counties can also participate, and they will get the same rewards."
"It's my lord."
After the county magistrate finished speaking, he got on the carriage and returned to the county seat, and began to get busy.
It was already afternoon when we arrived at the palace.
"Auxiliary engine."
"His Majesty."
"Then I'll leave the matter of the horses to you."
"Your Majesty, I will accept your orders."
In the following days, Li Er went to court step by step every day to review and approve the memorial.
He also arranged for several other people to lead the group of people working in Zhaojiazhuang through the residences of various ministers and various halls of the palace in Chang'an City.
Changsun Wuji transported a large amount of iron ore to Zhaojiazhuang and supplied it to the Zhaojiazhuang blacksmith shop.
On the contrary, the frequency of his appearance in the court was somewhat less than before.
The emergence of this incident has caused many people to wonder.
Logically speaking, his eldest grandson Wuji wouldn't ask for leave in just a few days. What was Duke Zhao doing?
Everyone was talking quietly, not knowing exactly what was going on.
On the other hand, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling were like mirrors in their minds.
Presumably, his eldest grandson, Wuji, must have been running here and there for His Majesty, and his eyes were full of envy.
Working for His Majesty is the happiest thing for them as ministers.
It is enough to show His Majesty's trust in them.
After this series of events and the change in identity, Changsun Wuji's desire for this right is no longer as urgent as before.
On the contrary, I have to realize the fact that as long as I work with His Majesty and become His Majesty's confidant, the most important thing is.
After all, the so-called glory and wealth are all His Majesty's thoughts.
Harem.
"Guanyin Maid,
How is your body feeling?"
"I thank Your Majesty for your concern. Your Majesty, I am feeling better and better. Now my throat no longer hurts, my chest is no longer tight, and I no longer cough. Now I am particularly energetic in everything I do.
By the way, Your Majesty, I have knitted a piece of clothing for Your Majesty these days and asked Your Majesty to try it on."
Li Er picked up the clothes in front of him and put them on. Not to mention that the clothes just fit him perfectly, with a smile on his face.
He stepped forward and grabbed Queen Changsun's hand and smiled slightly.
"Guanyin, thank you for your hard work."
"Your Majesty, my concubines don't have to work hard, your Majesty is the one who does the hard work.
For the sake of the people of this world, and for my Datang, I am busy every day."
"By the way, how much medicine is left that my dear brother arranged last time?"
Queen Changsun glanced at the maid standing aside. The maid came to the side, opened the cabinet and took out the medicine inside.
"Back to Your Majesty, I only have two days of medicine left!"
"Oh, so to speak, Maid Guanyin, I will finish the morning ritual tomorrow.
I have to take you to Zhaojiazhuang and let my brother Zhuangzi’s doctor take a look at you again."
