"The little minister sees His Majesty! See the Empress!"

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Zexuan saw Li Er and Empress Changsun come out from the back of the hall together, he quickly closed his eyes and bowed to the two of them.

"Well! No gift!"

Li Er waved his hand, and then couldn't wait to get straight to the point: "I heard that you are here to present your treasure today, but why haven't you seen the treasure?"

Although Li Zexuan is young, he is quite a villain and slippery. It is usually difficult to take advantage of him. Now he actually "delivered him to the door". Li Er really wanted to know what kind of surprise Li Zexuan brought!

Li Zexuan said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the thing that this minister sent today is a little big, and it is still outside the hall. Please let your Majesty Rongchen let someone carry it up!"

"Oh~? Quick! Zhao Song, let someone bring in the things that Marquis Yongan brought in!"

Li Er heard the words and immediately said.

A little big? Now he wants to know even more what Li Zexuan brought!

Zhao Song took orders and left, and after a while, he walked in with four little eunuchs carrying a coal stove and a basket of briquettes.

When Li Er saw that the eunuchs had brought up an iron lump and a basket of black things, he couldn't help frowning, because these two things didn't look tall at all!

Feeling slightly unhappy in his heart, Li Er walked down from above, looked at Li Zexuan with a bad look and asked, "This is the treasure you want to give to me~? Huh? What a special charcoal stove!"

But Li Er was only halfway through when he realized that there was still a fire burning in the stove, and he couldn't help but let out a groan.

Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this is not a charcoal stove, this is a coal stove, and coal is burned in it!"

"Coal~? How can the coal fire be so strong~?"

Li Er is not the kind of deep palace emperor who is ignorant of world affairs, he immediately frowned in disbelief when he heard the words.

At this time, the eldest grandson also came down from above. She carefully looked at the briquettes in the bamboo basket, and said after a while: "Your Majesty, the briquettes brought by the Marquis of Yong'an are so special! Not to mention the size of each briquettes, there are still briquettes in the middle. Many pores of the same size were opened, and the concubine guessed that it was because of this that the coal fire in the furnace was so strong!"

Li Er was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the bamboo basket, he asked, "Li Zexuan, what the queen said, is there any truth~?"

Li Zexuan cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Go back to your majesty, the empress's eyes are like torches. It is indeed as the goddess said, the reason why this briquettes is so easy to ignite is because of its special structure! The briquettes are called briquettes! The treasures that I present to Your Majesty today are this coal stove and briquettes~!"

Li Er sank at this moment, he nodded and said: "It is indeed a treasure to be able to turn useless coal into this flammable honeycomb! In this way, the imperial court may consider mining a few coal mines next year. Come on~! Just how did you make this briquettes~?"

Seeing briquettes, Li Er felt as if he saw a pile of gold mountains. Datang has discovered many coal mines in the Hedong Road area, but since raw coal is difficult to burn, the mining value is not great. But it's different now!

Li Zexuan said helplessly: "Your Majesty! This briquettes is made by the minister breaking the coal blocks, supplemented with adhesive substances, and then casting them through a mold! The minister presented these two things to His Majesty today. One is to show His Majesty the briquettes and coal stoves. The advantage of being united is that I want to discuss something with Your Majesty!"

"Advantage~? What advantage? Could it be that this honeycomb burns better than charcoal~?"

Li Er asked.

Li Zexuan told his mother and grandmother at home yesterday about the advantages of cooking rice with honeycomb briquettes. Before Li Er could speak, the eldest grandson couldn't help exclaiming:

"Four pieces of briquettes can boil water and cook rice for a whole day under the condition of full fire? Yongan Hou, are you serious?"

Li Zexuan nodded with a smile: "It's absolutely true! And it's impossible for ordinary people to boil water and cook rice all day, so the actual consumption of honeycomb is definitely less than this!"

"Haha! Good stuff! This is really good stuff! Li Zexuan, I ask you, what is the cost of this honeycomb and coal stove~?"

After listening to Li Er, he couldn't help feeling that honeycomb coal was more convenient than coal. He laughed and asked.

Li Zexuan replied: "The cost of a briquettes is less than a penny! As for the coal stove, it is about one hundred and fifty cents! But a coal stove can be used for at least five years!"

Li Er nodded and said: "Not bad! Not bad! It's cheap and practical! The people will definitely like it! This is really a treasure that benefits the country and the people! Haha! I like it too!"

Empress Zhangsun looked worried and said, "Your Majesty, although briquettes are cheap, the price of this coal stove is a bit expensive, but not everyone can afford it! If you want to fully promote coal stoves and briquettes, I am afraid there are still more. Many difficulties!"

Li Er's face sank again, obviously he also agreed with what Empress Changsun said.

Li Zexuan bowed and said, "What the Empress said is very true! This is also the second reason why the minister came to look for His Majesty today!"

Li Er's eyes sank and said, "You say it!"

"Your Majesty, it has only been ten years since the Tang Dynasty has settled down. The price of charcoal in the eastern and western cities has been high, and burning charcoal is nothing short of a fantasy for the common people! But in the cold winter, in addition to boiling water and cooking, Most people still need a fire to keep warm! Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and many poor people still freeze to death every year, not to mention other remote areas, there will definitely be more people who freeze to death!

And now with cheaper and more durable briquettes, the price of charcoal will definitely keep dropping! There will be more and more people who can afford to burn coal! But for ordinary people, the price of coal stoves is indeed too high, but without coal stoves, the role of honeycomb coal is extremely limited! And now in the big winter, there are still many poor people who are freezing!

Therefore, briquettes and coal stoves must be promoted to the common people together! Moreover, in order to help the people spend the winter, the minister can sell the honeycomb and coal stove directly to the poor people at the cost price without earning a penny! But the power of a single minister is limited after all, therefore, the minister has a small request, and I hope your majesty will allow it! "

Li Zexuan said slowly and sincerely.

Hearing this, Li Er was silent for a moment, then he said: "It's hard for you to still have this heart, I really did not see you wrong! In fact, since the beginning of winter, I have been thinking about what to do to prevent some people from freezing to death, but there is only one city in Chang'an, There are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people who are impoverished and frozen, and the money from the national treasury cannot be used now. If you have a way, speak up quickly! As long as the request is not excessive, I will allow it!"
