Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 75

Wu Meiniang said to Li Ke:
"Tang State Li Er sent people, saying that they wanted to buy coal from Long State for the people of Tang State, or let Long State teach them how to find and identify coal."

Hearing what Wu Meiniang said, Li Ke understood that his order on coal secrecy had worked.

He once ordered that the coal issue must be strictly controlled in all localities, not only cannot be mined and sold by merchants, but also any information about coal is not allowed to be revealed.

The common people just always think that what they burn is a kind of stone, but they don't know where it is mined from.

The knowledge of mining here involves professionals.

Therefore, although other countries know that Longguo has such a good thing as coal, they don't know where it comes from, how to identify it, and how to get it.

The news of Longguo was well blocked, so Li Er had to bow his head again and sent someone to find a solution.

This is also Li Er's helpless move.

In the Tang Dynasty, when winter came, countless people froze to death every day.

Now that we all know that Longguo has cheap coal, how can we not be tempted?
Even if he really doesn't care about the life and death of the people, after all, the personality of a benevolent and righteous king is still there.

Therefore, he can only come to the Dragon Kingdom.

It happened to be morning time.

After Li Ke arrived at the main hall, he first chatted with civil and military officials about business matters, and for those from the Tang Dynasty, he first hung out outside the main hall.

During this period of time, Dragon Kingdom has improved tremendously.

I saw the doctor of Yantiesi of the household department come out and say to Li Ke:

"Your Majesty, there is no shortage of salt in all parts of the country. Moreover, after investigation, there are no private salt dealers!"

Li Ke said with a smile: "This also shows a problem from the side. Salt has been fully popularized. Moreover, the price of salt is very low. It has made it unprofitable for private salt dealers."

The courtiers all nodded their heads one after another. Like Long Guo, it is really rare to see private salt dealers disappear automatically without cracking down on them.

The main reason is that there is no shortage of salt in the lives of the common people, and the price is also cheap. No one buys salt from private salt dealers anymore.

"Your Majesty, recently, the steel forging technology has fully matured, and the amount of forging used by the army has already been saturated." Minister of the Ministry of Industry said.

Li Ke thought for a while and said: "The military is already saturated, so let's think about it and use it to discover the convenience of the country and the people. For example, use steel to replace some of the original things made of iron..."

Li Ke talked eloquently, and his words made the Ministry of Industry and even other ministers suddenly enlightened, like enlightenment.

All of a sudden, the officials of the Ministry of Industry had countless ideas about the application of steel.

Then, officials came out to talk about other issues. Li Kedu discussed with the ministers, put forward many opinions and ideas, and decided many major issues that benefit the country and the people.

After talking about all these things, Li Ke said to the eunuch beside him:
"Hmm... let the people from the Tang Dynasty come up!"

The eunuch shouted: "Xuan, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty are here..."

At the entrance of the main hall, two armored warriors spoke again.

Not long after, outside the main hall, Cheng Yaojin brought Cheng Chumo in, smiling.

Li Ke was taken aback when he saw the two men. He really didn't expect Li Er to send them here.

As expected of Li Er, he still has a good idea of ​​people's hearts.

After all, Cheng Yaojin is known as a good old man, no one is easy to put a smile on his face wherever he goes.

"Foreign minister Cheng Yaojin..."

"Cheng Chumo..."

"Meet His Majesty the Dragon Kingdom..."

Li Ke said helplessly: "Get up!"

Seeing them standing up, Li Ke said:

"This Li Er is really nothing. If you have something to do, just push your father and son out, let me slap me, and I can't slap the smiling face!"

Cheng Yaojin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are not that kind of person.

Besides, Tang Guo has dealt with you more or less, but he still doesn't know your character?

The main reason is that His Majesty Li Er is afraid of sending others, so you will be hacked! "

Li Ke sneered and said, "Even if it's the two of you, I'm afraid I won't help you easily with what we're talking about this time!"

Cheng Yaojin turned serious and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what grievances you have with His Majesty Tang, the people are innocent.

Foreign minister, I am here this time not to represent His Majesty.But for the millions of people in my Tang country.What I want is not for the benefit of the king of Tang, but for the survival of the people..."

Having said that, he knelt down and kowtowed:
"I've heard that His Majesty the Dragon Kingdom loves the people like a son, and is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. Today, the foreign minister Cheng Yaojin is begging His Majesty the Dragon Kingdom to help the innocent people..."

All quiet.

Li Ke took a deep breath and cursed:

"Old fox, Cheng Yaojin, I believe in the purpose of your coming. But you answer me first, Li Er asked you to come, is he hypocritical?"

Cheng Yaojin looked up, momentarily at a loss for words.

Li Ke snorted: "You are sincere, what about him Li Er? You Cheng Yaojin knelt down to beg me for the sake of innocent people. What about him Li Er? Did you ever have a word to beg me?"

Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Li Ke continued: "You are a minister, but you make a living for the people. It is ridiculous that he is a king, but he is showing off in front of the world.

The most ridiculous thing is that he used you, a sincere courtier, as a show.Impress me with your sincerity.

These, you faced.I compromised.But in the end, the people in the world will be grateful to him, Li Er, "

Cheng Yaojin was completely stunned, and finally, he gave a wry smile:
"These, why don't I understand?"

Li Ke took a deep breath: "Yeah, you know, you, Cheng Yaojin, are not an idiot... He, Li Er, thinks you are easy, and he also thinks simple.

So, coal, I can give it.But, I don't like his show.People who put on a show have to pay the price! "

　Ask for a recommendation ticket!
