In the imperial study room, everyone was about to leave, but stopped again, wanting to see where Luo Zhang would choose to abandon the fiefdom in the north.
Li Shimin was also curious. After all, everyone knew the value of the coal, but Luo Zhang didn't want it? Is money considered dung? This is too noble.
When he said Luo Zhang didn't love money, everyone didn't believe it. He didn't love money? Having opened so many stores and operating so many mines, his business acumen is much better than that of some businessmen, and the speed at which he makes money is even more amazing.
You must know that Luo Zhang has gained so much wealth in less than a year, which shows how quickly he makes money!
Who wouldn't be curious about Luo Zhang giving up such a huge benefit? Everyone doesn't believe it if there are no ghosts here.
"Luo Zhang, you don't want the northern fiefdom, where do you want it?" Li Shimin asked.
Luo Zhang did not hesitate and bowed directly: "Your Majesty, the fiefdom I want is in Nanshan outside Chang'an City!"
"Huh? Nanshan? That bare Nanshan without flowers and plants?" Li Shimin said in surprise!
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's the Nanshan Mountain!" Luo Zhang affirmed.
Everyone raised their eyebrows slightly, wondering what Luo Zhang was going to do.
They all know that Nanshan is a barren land with nothing, except for some trees, not even flowers or grass. There are no people on weekdays, and there is no way to farm. What is the use of such a place? Plant a tree?
We already have coal, so why plant trees? Besides, it takes at least ten years to plant a tree and grow it into useful material. Should we wait ten years? This is not Luo Zhang's style.
"Luo Zhang, may I ask why you want it there?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, I want to build a Chang'an town there. Your Majesty will know why when the time comes!" Luo Zhang said in a nonchalant manner.
Everyone rolled their eyes after hearing this, but they didn't say anything at the critical moment. This Luo Zhang is really abominable.
"The boundary of Nanshan is not big. Since you want it, I'm sure!" Li Shimin nodded in agreement. He wanted to see what Luo Zhang wanted to do with Nanshan, so it was not a big deal to simply reward him!
Everyone's goal was achieved, and they all bowed and left!
After walking out of the imperial city, Cheng Yaojin pulled Luo Zhang and said: "Luo Zhang, tell us, why did you choose Nanshan? This is not like your style of not being able to afford early opportunities? Is there any great treasure in Nanshan?" I was discovered by you and you want to eat alone?"
"Luo Zhang, you said before that you chose the fiefdom alone. Let us not blame you when the time comes. Is there really a treasure in Nanshan?" Li Ji said, stroking his beard.
"That is, is there a treasure in Nanshan? Don't worry, tell us, we won't be jealous, what's the big deal! Why hide it? You are treating us as outsiders!" Yuchi Jingde said.
Although Li Jing and the others didn't speak, they seemed to mean so.
Luo Zhang shook his head slightly and said: "Don't say it, don't say it. You will know when the time comes. Now is not the time!"
"It's boring, mother-in-law, I'm not happy at all, let's go, let's go!" Cheng Yaojin angrily mounted his horse and left. The others smiled bitterly and followed suit.
Only Luo Zhang, Wu Shaobin and others were left in place.
"Luo Zhang, I also want to ask, why did you choose the fiefdom in Nanshan? I understand that you chose Yushan. Did you choose Nanshan also to grow vegetables?" Wu Shaobin asked.
"Brother, don't ask. It's not about growing vegetables. You will know when the time comes!" Luo Zhang said with a smile.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to tell, but he still needs to find where the coal is hidden in Nanshan. Although later generations said that there was coal, they did not tell the location. If this was told, but it was not found, maybe the coal in Nanshan was somewhere. The Tang Dynasty was buried deep underground, and later generations came out. Then wouldn't he become a joke to others and get a useless fiefdom?
So Luo Zhang doesn't want to talk about it for the time being. He just wants to wait until he finds the coal before talking about it.
It's getting late now, so Luo Zhang naturally won't go to Nanshan to look for coal. He has more important things to do tonight.
After riding for a while on Chang'an Avenue, Luo Zhang asked Wu Shaobin to go back first.
Wu Shaobin seemed to know where Luo Zhang was going, so he greeted the eighteen riders and headed towards Luo Mansion, while Luo Zhang rode towards the south of the city.
In an old alley in the south of the city, in a house, a woman was sitting in the house and talking about the piano. The faint sound of the piano sounded longing and sweet.
After the song was finished, the woman stood there blankly. A figure had been standing outside the door for a long time.
"Bah bang bang!"
"It sounds good, it sounds so good! This song can only be heard in heaven, how many times can you hear it in the world!" Luo Zhang said with a smile, looking at the lovely person in front of him.
"You didn't even know to say something when you came? You kept staring. What's there to see?" Chang Le said with a shy look on his face.
"I'm not attracted to you, I don't want to disturb you!" Luo Zhang said softly and came to sit next to Chang Le.
He reached out and grabbed Chang Le's little hand, and couldn't get enough of Chang Le's delicate face!
"Look, there's nothing growing on my face!" Chang Le said somewhat displeased.
"I haven't seen you for a few months, can't you let me take a good look?" Luo Zhang said with a smile.
"If you don't show me, then I'll just leave!" Luo Zhang said, pretending to leave.
"No, I... why don't I show it to you!" Chang Le lowered his head after saying that, his face as red as an apple.
"What? What did you say? I didn't hear it clearly. Say it again so I can hear it?" Luo Zhang teased.
"You...you will bully me!" Changle raised his head and said angrily.
"I bullied you? Why did I bully you? Tell me?" Luo Zhang said with a bad smile.
"I won't tell you anymore!" Changle also seemed angry.
Luo Zhang turned around and came to Chang Le, hugged his waist and said, "Tell me, why did I bully you?"
What made Luo Zhang a little confused was that Chang Le's waist, which used to be full, seemed to be fuller now, but he didn't care much!
"You are bad, you are bad!" Chang Le punched Luo Zhang twice.
Luo Zhang grabbed Chang Le's hand and said, "Then I will show you how bad I am!"
"Ah! Don't, don't move, you can't..."
"I...I have a child!"
Chang Le's words made Luo Zhang's movements froze, and the expression on his face froze, as if he had not recovered from Chang Le's words.
Seeing Luo Zhang's appearance, Chang Le's face suddenly turned a little pale, and he shook off Luo Zhang's hand and prepared to stand up and leave.
But before he could get up, Luo Zhang grabbed him and said, "Where are you going?"
"Don't worry, I will take care of the baby by myself after the baby is born, and I won't embarrass you!" Chang Le said with tears in his eyes.
"Uh, what are you thinking about? I was so happy just now that I couldn't react. It doesn't matter if a child is born and taken care of by himself!" Luo Zhang was dumbfounded.
"Aren't you worried that having a child will drag you down and embarrass you? I can do that!" Chang Le said through gritted teeth.
