Kong Yingda sighed: "Fortunately, the court will be able to deal with it next year. This year should be the last year that it is helpless against the cold disaster~"
Kong Yingda's eyes brightened slightly as he thought about the movements of the court in the past few days.
However, no matter how fast the court moves, there will still be no food or resources for this year's winter. Ordinary people can only survive this winter...
Moreover, there is no telling whether we can survive this winter...
Li Shimin sighed, thinking of what those Yushitai officials often sighed, and couldn't help but said: "As many officials said, this year, I may just live with the people and cultivate virtue quietly. I hope God will bless the Tang Dynasty in the coming year." ah…………"
Several people nodded. The matter had come to this, and there was nothing that could be done.
Only Tang Sufan glanced at him calmly. When he heard this, he felt inexplicably angry and suddenly slapped the wine glass.
With a twist of the corner of his mouth, he cursed and said: "You still need to cultivate your virtue quietly, how can you cultivate such a bad virtue... and live a living with the people? The family of aristocratic families enslave the people by eating hot food, and the people have no food or clothing, this is called living a good life with the people. ?”
"The wine and meat of Zhumen are stinky, and there are people freezing to death on the road! This is called cultivating virtue? The virtue of raising his grandma! Li Er has lost his mind! Do you even believe this?"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Jian, who was about to take a sip of wine, was so frightened that a cold wind hit his neck!
Li Er? ! !
The wine glass in his hand clattered to the table, and his eyes widened in shock. He quickly glanced at Li Shimin, then hurriedly blinked at Tang Sufan, patted the table and said, "Brother, be careful what you say! Be careful what you say! Today's Holy Lord Don’t make any unreasonable opinions!”
Even Kong Yingda and Wang Ji were shocked by Tang Sufan's words, not to mention Lu Xingwen and He Chengqu who were standing by were full of amazement! And looked at Tang Sufan with admiration!
You are worthy of being a disciple of the Immortal Sect and you are really ruthless when you insult His Majesty in front of him!
Even the iron-headed boy Wei Zheng only dares to scold in a roundabout way, or he can think of a good reason and then hide it! You're good, you almost sprayed it in someone's face!
Tang Sufan picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine. Of course, he knew that there are places to be happy when talking, so he naturally said the sentence just now with a bit of arrogance.
He waved his hand casually: "Oh, I'm sorry, I said too much! Besides, Old Tang, you won't sue me~"
Tang Jian looked at Tang Sufan's carefree face and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Do you still need me to complain to you? Didn't you notice that His Majesty Li Er's face turned a little darker when you said it?
And Li Shimin's slightly dark complexion was not because of Tang Sufan's daily hurtful words, but because those words perfectly touched his heartache.
The wealthy family is full of wine and meat! The road is freezing to death!
Li Shimin's face was solemn, and he even stopped eating meat. Kong Yingda and others did not dare to speak for a while, and they all watched and waited for the reaction of the biggest boss behind the scenes~
And Wang Ji even looked away. Among the people present, he was the only one from an aristocratic family~
However, Wang Jixing sat upright and had nothing to fear.
But this topic......
Who knows that most people in the imperial court come from clans...
The more Li Shimin thought about it, the angrier he became. He slammed the table with a cold look in his eyes and awe-inspiring aura.
"The wine and meat of Zhumen are stinky, and the bones are frozen to death on the road! You're right!"
Li Shimin's impressive words made Kong Yingda and the others breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that His Majesty did not care about this kid's nonsense, but that he cared about this~
This guy is really lucky...
And before Kong Yingda and the others had time to react, Li Shimin's slap startled Tang Sufan, who was sitting nearest!
I almost stumbled over!
Tang Sufan was rude and slapped Li Shimin on the shoulder with a dark expression.
Li Shimin, who was full of energy and ready to give a passionate speech, was slapped with a slap in the face and was immediately put on fire!
At the same time, he grinned and said: "Old Li, you are sick! You scared me!!"
The eyes of the old men widened even more...
The momentum that Li Shimin had just brewed suddenly disappeared, just like the lion that was about to rise up was suddenly turned into a chow~
Kong Yingda and others were shocked...
this!
This world is so crazy~
Shoot the emperor! There are no adjectives that can describe their admiration for Tang Sufan!
And being yelled at by this kid in front of so many people, who was still his Minister of Humerus, Li Shimin naturally lost his dignity and was about to retort.
Tang Sufan had already patted him on the shoulder and began to teach him a lesson: "Old Li, this is Kong's home, you must not be arrogant!!! Do you understand?"
This old Li, when you bring him out to see the world, why do you think everything depends on his temper~
What's the point of entering officialdom?
No, this is Xiaorou’s father after all, so he should help and take care of it~
Who told me that I have to work hard~
this!
What the hell?
Li Shimin's calm expression suddenly fell...
If this piece of shit is damaged, you still have to deal with it.
Forget it, I'll bear with you!
Pretending to make a forgiving look towards Kong Yingda, Kong Yingda nodded pretendingly with a stiff face.
It was quiet for a while, and Kong Yingda and others slowly calmed down their fears.
Kong Yingda asked: "Boss Tang, this is where the court is helpless. The world is short of food and the people are short of things to keep out the cold. Even if you have the intention, there is nothing you can do..."
Tang Sufan frowned slightly. If there were potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., it would be able to solve the world's food shortage problem.
But these things haven't been introduced yet, they can't be found in Asia, and my own system is as useless as a dead salted fish.
And to keep out the cold, it’s too late to cultivate cotton now~
Tang Sufan thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "Mr. Kong, what is the current price of charcoal in Chang'an? What is the price of pebbles?"
Although he didn't know why Tang Sufan asked this, Kong Yingda still replied with a serious look: "Charcoal... It's usually 43 cents per catty, but in winter, it can reach up to 10 cents per catty! And the charcoal fumes are poisonous. , few people use it. Unless there is really no other way, no one dares to use it. As for the price of charcoal...I really don’t know yet..."
Tang Sufan raised his eyebrows, why is the price of this firewood so expensive?
And how long can a pound of charcoal last?
It's no wonder that ordinary people have trouble keeping warm. This charcoal is not like coal. The price of charcoal made from wood has to be doubled several times.
Moreover, he had heard before that the forests near Chang'an had long been cut down, so even if he wanted a large amount of charcoal, he would have to transport it from Gyeonggi Province or even further away.
No wonder the price of charcoal remains high!
Tang Sufan thought for a while and said slowly: "Mr. Kong, if charcoal can be used, the people will definitely be able to relieve their cold pain~"
Kong Yingda shook his head, and at the same time sighed in his heart that this boy was shallow after all.
"It's necessary. Coal is poisonous. It's not that the imperial court has never thought of it. Even if you are in an emergency, you should not seek medical treatment~"
Tang Sufan tapped the table with his slender fingers, curled his mouth, and awakened his attributes.
"What if I had a way to remove the toxicity from the coal and make it non-toxic?"
