The first snow in the ninth year of Zhenguan is still falling.
In this rare leisure time, Zhao Chen transformed into a daddy and took care of the baby with Chang Le.
As for Li Shimin and others, they are waiting for the end of the first snow.
Zhao Chen has already told them all the solutions on how to get through this cold winter. If they can't get through this, then they are simply idiots.
In the palace, Li Tai also led craftsmen to simply renovate the rooms of Queen Changsun and Li Shimin and made a simple fire bed.
"Father, mother, this is the fire kang."
As soon as Li Shimin sat on it, as expected, it was very hot, and there was no longer the cold feeling when he went to bed at night.
"Good Qingque, thank you for your hard work. It's rare to be filial. Did you invent this fire kang?"
Li Tai smiled bitterly and said: "Father, I didn't invent this. It was Mr. Zhao who invented it. Although I spend all day in the laboratory inventing things according to Mr. Zhao's direction, many times I can't figure it out. But Zhao Sir, I will know as soon as you dial."
"Qingque, you have done a great job. Mr. Zhao is unprecedented and unprecedented. How can you compare?"
Li Shimin also smiled and said: "Follow Mr. Zhao and study hard. Maybe the revitalization of the Tang Dynasty will really depend on you."
"Yes, Father."
Li Tai¡¯s spirit was shaken and he regained his fighting spirit.
At this moment, the eunuch outside quickly came in and said: "Your Majesty, the snow has stopped."
Li Shimin and the others looked outside and saw that the snow that had been falling for four days had finally stopped!
Li Shimin was in high spirits: "It finally stopped. Let's go out of the city and have a look. The charcoal can be sold."
¡¡
In Chang'an City, many closed houses finally opened their doors.
With a squeaking sound, the thick snow fell from the roof. When I stepped into the yard, the snow was more than ankle-deep.
Every household also took this opportunity to shovel the snow and go buy some things. It would be best to have food. Otherwise, they would have to eat only bran wheat throughout the winter, which would be extremely difficult. There is also charcoal, which is also needed. Add some more.
"Gou Sheng, go to the street and see if there is any charcoal for sale. The firewood at home is almost gone."
"Okay mother."
A child with a thick head and thick clothes ran out of the yard, opened the door, and walked on the snow on the road, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
However, after walking for a while, I found that the police officers from Jingzhao Mansion in front of me had come out. It seemed that they were newly appointed officials who were directing the shoveling of snow.
Tang Jun said loudly: "Fellow folks, if you have time, you can come out and help us and shovel all the snow to both sides, otherwise it will be inconvenient to travel."
The style of chivalry in the Tang Dynasty was still there. When many people saw that the government started shoveling snow, they also came out to help. After just a moment, Chang'an City became a little lively.
And according to Zhao Chen¡¯s previous instructions, Tang Jun took out the prepared salt and sprinkled it on the accumulated snow, and saw that the snow began to melt.
There are finally sidewalks on the street.
Gou Sheng came to the merchant selling charcoal. Unexpectedly, the place was already crowded with a lot of people.
Gou Sheng's face was stunned. Remembering his mother's instructions, he pushed forward with all his strength.
"Why is it so expensive? Isn't charcoal usually only about twenty cents per pound? Why does it cost sixty cents now?"
"It's too expensive! Make it cheaper!"
"Yes, why is it so expensive?"
A large group of people crowded in front of the store. They were all shocked when they saw the price sign on the charcoal.
Sixty-five cents, this is too expensive.
However, before they could react, the waiter took away the wooden sign and replaced it with another wooden sign. The wooden sign clearly read: 100 yuan per pound of charcoal!
Wow!
The people who were watching were all shocked: "How dare you increase the price like this?"
"We are going to sue the officials!"
"You are profiteers, you are just raising prices!"
Prices during the Zhenguan period were not high. Take the price of rice, for example. Although it has not reached the cheapest price of 5 copper coins per bucket, it is very close. Although the price of charcoal is more expensive, it is not that expensive. Now Who can accept the sudden price increase?
The crowd was furious, and Gou Sheng looked at this scene in a daze.
The waiter folded his hands and snorted: "If you want to sue the official, go and sue quickly. I'm not stopping you. Let me tell you, do you think it's the price of previous years? Everyone feels the coldness of this winter. Here we are, I¡¯m not afraid to tell you that this winter has just begun! It will continue to get colder! And it¡¯s getting colder day by day. Do you still think this is charcoal? This is a life-saving thing!¡±
The waiter¡¯s words actually stopped many people from shouting.
"What's wrong with selling you this life-saving thing for 100 Wen? Our store has said that this is a fair trade. If you think it is expensive, you don't have to buy it."
¡°If you don¡¯t want to buy it, don¡¯t buy it, go buy it somewhere else!¡±
Those people went to other houses angrily. The waiter sneered, folded his hands in the store and watched them go to the other side to ask, but a moment later, the shocked voice came again.
"What? It also costs more than a hundred papers?"
"Why is this so expensive?"
On the street in front of the store, people were in chaos.
Gou Sheng stood on the street, a little at a loss. He looked at the money in his hand. It was only a few twenty copper coins, enough to buy a pound of charcoal. But now, let alone a pound, even if It's half a catty, but I can't buy it.
On the second floor of the shop, a businessman opened the small window, took a look at the situation below, and then closed it. He chuckled: "It seems that we are going to make a fortune this winter."
More and more people are gathering here. They are all people who realize that there is not enough firewood or charcoal at home and are ready to replenish it. But when they come here and ask, everyone is in an uproar.
too expensive!
It¡¯s better to go up the mountain and chop it down yourself!
Some of the common people wanted to come forward to intercede, hoping to sell it cheaper, but the waiter in the shop immediately turned his back: "No! I sold it to you cheaply, so we won't lose money? Do you know how much we paid for these charcoals? That's how business is. , if you talk to us about favors, then who should we talk to?"
The people were desperate.
But at this time, Tang Jun rushed over with a group of people from the government.
When the people saw the government, they thought someone was crying and even wanted to stop Tang Jun.
Tang Jun quickly helped the citizen up and took a look at the situation in front of him. He saw that the street was full of people, and the snow next to it was trampled into ice.
The fact that so many people are short of charcoal is enough to illustrate the huge charcoal gap.
Fortunately, I am prepared.
Tang Jun suddenly shouted: "Everyone, the charcoal here is too expensive. I saw coal sold in the West Market for only a few pennies and half a catty. Why don't you go there to buy coal?"
