Big businessman.
Starting from the north, the weather is getting cooler day by day.
It’s still autumn, and it’s actually 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 snowing 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 servant 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 there is no need for formality. 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 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 when they heard this.
He got into trouble and got into the Witch Clan. That kid was really not an ordinary person.
"Where's 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 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.
That was probably the case, and there was nothing she could 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 charcoal production going at the Li family's side?"
The eldest grandson, Nanqiao, coughed lightly, brought the topic back to business, and asked.
"That's double what it was last year."
Li Youwei responded, "With limited manpower, the Li family can only do this."
"My eldest grandson's family is similar."
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 smiled, "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 solemnly, "The whereabouts of the coal mine have been found, and extra manpower has been sent to mine it. What I want to ask is, does the coal mine have to be processed before it 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 seriously, "My little brother said that those raw coals will cause great harm to the body if they are not processed. Before I left, I also kept the method of handling raw coal. As long as His Highness's raw coal is delivered, my Li family will Work can start at any time.”
"I'm curious, what else can't that little guy do?"
Next to him, eldest son 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 didn't know whether the Li boy was a genius, but he did know some things that the world didn'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 about the price of coal. Miss Li, do you have any suggestions?"
"It's 20% cheaper 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 will definitely not be 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.
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 talk was almost over, Murong opened his mouth and said with a smile, "My 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. 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, please leave me with the raw coal matter."
"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 take the first step."
"Youwei, I'll give it to you."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao got up and saw him off in person.
"Um."
Li Youwei nodded and immediately walked out of the hall.
In the main hall.
Murong looked at the former's leaving figure, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Brother, what did Sister Li mean by what she just said? If she enters the palace openly, no one will make things difficult for her."
"I'm wondering why Brother Li would leave such words."
On the side, Mu Bai said solemnly, "Before brother Li left, my father did not take action against Li Yuan. What exactly was he wary of when he left these words?"
Witch clan.
South courtyard.
Li Ziye dragged his chin and looked at the stupid red candle in the middle of the formation in boredom, almost falling asleep.
No.
Can Sister Hongzhu still pass the exam?
After finishing the exam quickly and breaking the talisman array in the sky prison, everyone went back to their homes and looked for their mothers.
He was really worried about Sister Youwei being alone in Li Garden.
In the capital, there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm them.
There are not only unruly people, but even evil spirits.
People's hearts are already hard to fathom, and with the addition of those elusive monsters, it's really troublesome.
