On the recliner, the prince mentioned Luo Zhang's humble words and said with a smile: "You are so humble. I heard from General Cheng, Jun. If it weren't for you, he would have froze to death in the ice and snow, let alone The igloo you built is simply a miracle. You can make a fire and avoid the cold when you live in it! I really want to know what it would be like to live there!"
"Hahaha, the north has been pacified. If you have the opportunity, the prince can go and learn some common sense. It will definitely be a different feeling!" Luo Zhang said with a smile!
"By the way, General Cheng, the army said that you are planning to choose a fiefdom in the north. I wonder if that's the case?" Li Chengqian asked tentatively!
Luo Zhang secretly scolded Cheng Yaojin for his big mouth. Didn't he say that he would not tell anyone about this matter? How come the prince also knows?
"Yes, they do intend to choose the fiefdom in the north. After all, the land there is rich and suitable for raising horses. It is a good choice. It is much better than choosing the area near Chang'an. There is no more land to choose from here!" Luo Zhangban A half-truth!
"Is that true?" Li Chengqian looked at Luo Zhang and said with a smile.
"With our relationship, there's no need to hide it, right?" Li Chengqian followed closely!
Luo Zhang cursed in his heart, it seemed that Cheng Yaojin had already told everything, otherwise the prince would not have spoken like this.
Sighing in his heart, Luo Zhang said: "There is something there, I call it black gold!"
"Black gold?" Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows. Being called gold shows its value. The information he got from Cheng Yaojin was only half-understood. Cheng Yaojin couldn't explain it clearly. He only denied Luo Zhang's knowledge, so he made an appointment. Luo Zhangyan comes to the building for a gathering!
"That's right, it's black gold, its value is comparable to gold!" Luo Zhang said with certainty!
"Tell me what it is, it's comparable to gold!" Li Chengqian was completely attracted by Luo Zhang's words.
Gold is the most valuable thing. Apart from the precious jade, what else can compare to gold?
"That is a thing called coal. It can burn like firewood and is inexhaustible. What do you think it would be like if this thing were brought to Chang'an?" Luo Zhang said slowly.
Luo Zhang's words made Li Chengqian take a breath, burning like firewood? Inexhaustible?
The price of a cart of firewood is not cheap. If a cart of coal can have the same price, plus it is inexhaustible, it can replace firewood.
You must know that Chang'an requires a huge amount of firewood every day. If it is replaced with coal, how much money will it cost?
No wonder Luo Zhang was hesitant, no wonder Cheng Yaojin said he didn't know, so that's what happened!
The more he thought about Li Chengqian, the more excited he became. Although Datang Barbeque Shop was very profitable, it was just the beginning for him. If he wanted to achieve great things, he needed more. Without the support of a top family, he could only work hard on his own, so He has to rely on himself for the money he needs. Unlike Li Tai, who is so lucky and has the support of a large family behind him, and the care given by Luo Zhang, there is no shortage of money at all!
But now that Luo Zhang is on his side, nothing is a problem!
"Luo Zhang, what did you say about this?" Li Chengqian asked tentatively.
Luo Zhang pondered for a while and said directly: "Does His Highness the Crown Prince want to get involved?"
"If it's possible, I naturally want to participate! I just don't know if it's possible?" The prince readily admitted that there was no need to be secretive about this kind of thing. It would be pointless for him and Luo Zhang to hide it!
Luo Zhang thought for a while, since he didn't want to get involved in the coal mines in the north, why not give this cake to the prince. Firstly, it was a great gift to the prince, and secondly, the prince could also owe him a huge favor! Why not do it!
Besides, if the prince is involved, it can be considered that the royal family is involved in this matter. Even if someone wants to get involved in the northern coal mines, the royal family will block it. If others want to get involved, they can go directly to the royal family for discussion.
But for such a profitable business, do you think His Majesty will let the cake be divided again? The answer is no. This invisibly adds a protective umbrella to the northern coal mines. It can be said that it serves multiple purposes. What can Luo Zhang disagree with?
Thinking of this, Luo Zhang nodded and said: "I can promise His Majesty the Crown Prince about this, but this matter must be approved by His Majesty, and the proportion of the coal mine must be discussed again. After all, this is not a small amount of money. If someone is jealous, it will be a big trouble. You What do you say?"
"Tell father?" The prince frowned. It was obvious that he didn't want to tell Li Shimin. After all, it was open to question whether the coal mine matter had anything to do with him.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Even if His Majesty wants to participate, your share will be indispensable. What do you think?" Luo Zhang explained.
"It's best this way!" Li Chengqian said overjoyed. Naturally, he was worried that after telling His Majesty, his share would belong to the royal family, not to him. In other words, he was just the spokesperson of the royal family. As for Even if he had any benefits, they wouldn't be much, which was naturally different from what he thought!
However, Luo Zhang saw this and directly pointed out that he had a share. This dispelled Li Chengqian's doubts and he naturally agreed.
As for how to discuss with Cheng Yaojin and others, how could Luo Zhang make such a decision? Naturally, he would just give his share to the royal family and the prince. Besides, Cheng Yaojin was the one who brought this about. More or less, they have to get some share, otherwise Luo Zhang would do so much!
After everything was discussed, Li Chengqian was so happy that he naturally had a drink. Zhao Tianhu had already prepared it, and when Luo Zhang greeted him, the food and wine were already on the table.
I exchanged cups with His Highness the Prince, and the two had a good meal. The Prince was very happy with the meal, so he drank two more glasses of wine. Maotai is not highland barley wine. Drinking too much will make you drunk easily. No, the banquet dispersed, and the prince was carried out of Yanlai Tower by the father-in-law who followed him.
On the other hand, Luo Zhang was fine. The alcohol test was not just for words. Besides, he didn't drink as much as the prince. He still had things to do in the afternoon, so how could he drink so much!
After drinking some sobering tea at Yanlai Tower, Luo Zhang asked Zhao Tianhu to invite Cheng Yaojin and others to Yanlai Tower. Since he had agreed to the Prince Coal Mine, he naturally had to summon these people to talk. In addition, his fiefdom I also had to discuss the matter with His Majesty, so we happened to be together.
It was already afternoon when Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing and others arrived. Seeing Luo Zhang, Cheng Yaojin was a little embarrassed and did not dare to look into Luo Zhang's eyes.
"Uncle Cheng, why do you talk so fast? Didn't we agree not to tell anyone else? Why did you reveal the matter so quickly?" Luo Zhang looked at Cheng Yaojin jokingly.
"Ahem, haha, what about..."
"This matter was decided after we discussed it, and then let Yao Jin accidentally pass it on to the prince!" Li Jing took over the conversation and said.
"Everyone, please tell me in advance about this kind of thing in the future. The prince came to me and told me, which caught me off guard!" Luo Zhang looked at the crowd with a wry smile!
