Zhang Feng was very angry.
The consequence was naturally …
"Didn't I ask you to get the coal? You got the coal? You still have the nerve to drink here? I only have such a small pot of wine. Can't you leave me alone for a while? "
Zhang Feng roared with some distress.
He pointed at the leftovers on the table after Cheng Yaojin and Qin Haodong had left.
Li Chengqian didn't care about that. He drank the wine and ate the leftovers on the table with relish.
After coming down from Xiao Mountain today, Li Chengqian rode the white horse all the way to the imperial palace. After reporting to Li Shimin, Li Shimin waved his hand and wrote a note directly. Then he asked Li Chengqian to search the imperial palace thoroughly.
All the places where coal could be hidden, from the imperial kitchen to the Imperial Institute of Medicine, were searched thoroughly.
Even the local treasury of Chang 'an City was thoroughly searched by Li Chengqian. But even so, Li Chengqian only got three carts of coal.
Li Chengqian didn't know why Zhang Feng wanted so much coal, but his reason told him that the steel was ready this time!
And the most important thing was that the gun Zhang Feng promised him was ready!
Seeing that he couldn't do anything to Li Chengqian, Zhang Feng had to say helplessly, "Eat, eat, eat, sooner or later you will die. By the way, how are you doing with the coal?"
"You still talk about coal?"
"Since I came down from Xiao Mountain today, I haven't touched a single grain of rice. But fortunately, I'm resourceful and really got three carts of coal. Now I'm transporting it to the mountain. But let me tell you something. In the whole Chang 'an City, except for those officials, there is no coal. If you want it, you have to wait for Uncle Yu to get it for you from Tubo."
"Or wait for the people of the Wang Clan to open a kiln."
Zhang Feng let out a sigh of relief after learning that he had obtained three carriages of coal. So be it. At least his urgent need was solved.
As for coal, Zhang Feng had been thinking about how to smelt steel when he was lying on the recliner. Coal was really a necessary material. Otherwise, if the temperature was not high enough, iron would not be able to be smelted into steel.
However, if he were to rely on transporting coal from Tubo, it would be impossible to put out a nearby fire. Moreover, if someone were to find out about his secret, then he would be standing on the cusp of the storm.
Zhang Feng couldn't help but shrink back into the recliner. Looking at Li Chengqian who was stuffing himself with food, he couldn't help but ask, "Are there any coal mountains near Chang 'an?"
"Why are you asking this?"
Li Chengqian asked in surprise.
He bit his chopsticks and pondered for a long time before saying, "If it's a mountain of coal, there shouldn't be any. Otherwise, we wouldn't have spent such a high price to buy coal from the Wang Clan. Moreover, those big clans seem to have a dog's nose. Do you think they would let go of such an opportunity?"
That was true.
Zhang Feng couldn't help but nod his head.
However, Zhang Feng faintly felt that there seemed to be coal mines near Chang 'an, which was in Lantian County.
Could it be that he remembered wrongly?
Or was there really no coal in the world that Lao Tzu had transmigrated to?
According to his memory.
There was a large amount of coal reserves near Chang 'an. Moreover, in Lantian County near Xiao Mountain, there should be a large number of coal mines.
Zhang Feng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Li Chengqian, do you know about Lantian County?"
"I do!"
Suddenly, Zhang Feng seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly said, "Stop eating. Go and find the county magistrate!"
？？？？
Li Chengqian was stunned.
I …
Li Chengqian.
As the Crown Prince, you want me to go and find the county magistrate?
However, seeing Zhang Feng's excited face, he couldn't help but be even more confused. However, Zhang Feng's next sentence made Li Chengqian unable to sit still.
"If I'm not wrong, that Lantian County has a large number of coal mines!"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian completely exploded.
The most troublesome thing for the palace now was that all kinds of resources were basically monopolized by the big clans. If Lantian County had it, then …
However, this wasn't certain. After all, Zhang Feng had never been to that place. It was only a guess.
In an instant, Li Chengqian's enthusiasm was mostly extinguished.
Li Chengqian walked lazily to the door and coughed. The guard commander who was standing at the door appeared beside him like a ghost.
Li Chengqian instructed and once again sat in front of Zhang Feng with a heavy heart. …
"Fengzi, are you sure that Lantian County really has it?"
How could Zhang Feng be sure?
"I don't know yet. However, I'm guessing that place should have it. There's a lot of hope. If that place has coal, then we'll be rich!"
Just as the two of them were fantasizing about a beautiful tomorrow …
Niu Weili was sweating profusely as he plunged into the small tavern. He seemed to be afraid as he looked behind him. After confirming that there was no one behind him, he let out a sigh of relief.
Zhang Feng also noticed Niu Weili's strange behavior.
Without waiting for Zhang Feng to ask, Niu Weili immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Brother Zhang, we meet again!"
"Young master, may I ask …"
Li Chengqian said indifferently, "Just call me Li Chengqian."
Niu Weili's eyebrows twitched.
As if remembering something, he circled around Li Chengqian and said, "Brother Zhang, why did you look for me in such a hurry?"
