Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 246 Confirmation
Although Ling Jing is a counselor, he is essentially a literati after all.

After all, he was born in a poor family, and he can't be compared with the children of the aristocratic family in terms of scriptures and righteousness. He can't compete with others just by reading the scriptures. Therefore, he likes to write a few small poems on weekdays.

Before Li Shan used Lingnan to listen to other people's recitals to pretend, but now that his "true wish" has been exposed... Ling Jing has no interest in writing poems anymore.

That night, the three of them got together to cook hot pot, and Li Shan threw out a few broken poems... Ling Jing kept silent, and Ma Zhou almost left the table.

It's so shocking!
Hey, let alone the two of them, even if you get all three great poets, Li Bai, Du Fu, and Bai Juyi... I guess they can't beat Li Shan.

Anyway, I kept telling myself in my heart that I was forced... So, Li Shan's mental state is a bit strange now, and I just want to mess around!
While eating, Zhu Wu came outside.

"Let's eat something together." Li Shan asked casually, "Is it still delivered in these two days?"

"We've had dinner just now." Zhu Wuweng said in a low voice, "Within ten days, send ten jugs of wine to Wei's house every day, and accept them all."

Zhu Wu is in charge of the commercial affairs of Zhujiagou. Although Yuhuchun belongs to the property of the Li family and the villagers do not benefit from it, Zhu Wu is quite attentive in his work. The Yuhuchun wine shop has been closed for more than ten days. Five will come to ask every day.

Li Shan bit a fish ball and continued to ask: "I sent it to the Wei Mansion the day before yesterday, brother Xuancheng, will you accept it?"

"Take it."

The eyes of Li Shan, Ling Jing, and Ma Zhou collided. Both of them knew the inside story, and Zhu Wu was just following orders.

After sending Zhu Wu away, Li Shan smiled and said, "It's pretty much what we expected."

"It's definitely not the prince." Ma Zhou nodded and said, "It should be just the prince's family order."

Ling Jing added: "Even the crown prince may not know about this."

Although Wei Qingsi, who knew that it was Jingzhao Wei's secret attack that day, probably would not involve the change of Donggong's attitude towards him, but this kind of thing... Li Shan did not dare to be careless.

The wine was delivered to Wei's residence for ten consecutive days, among which Li Shan personally delivered the wine to the door for the first three days, but Wei Ting never showed up... This shows that Wei Ting knew the inside story.

The clan brother wants to seize the family property, Wei Ting can't turn against him.

For the next seven days, Wei Ting offered wine every day, and Wei Ting did not refuse... This shows that Wei Ting's attitude towards Li Shan has not changed.

If his attitude changed, no matter how much Wei Ting liked Yuhuchun, he wouldn't accept the wine... If Wei Qingsi took Yuhuchun away, how much wine would he want to drink?

And Wei Zheng actually accepted the gift of wine... If the prince's attitude towards him had changed, Wei Zheng would not have accepted the gift.

Therefore, it can be concluded that it is only Wei Qingsi.

And he did it without telling the crown prince... After all, it was Li Jiancheng who asked the sage to give him the name Yuhuchun.

Li Shan really couldn't figure it out... What was this Wei Qingsi thinking?
The crown prince obviously intended to be gentle, and Wei Qingsi's official residence in the crown prince's house must be Li Jiancheng's confidant, but he wanted to go against his will. Aren't you afraid that the crown prince would blame him?

Moreover, the winemaking industry is indeed a huge profit, but for Jingzhao Webster, taking away people's property and reputation is not worth the loss... After all, Li Shan today is not the lonely, nameless and hopeless young man two years ago.

However, after confirming that Donggong's attitude has not changed, Li Shan is temporarily relieved.

Ling Jing glanced at the slightly relaxed Li Shan, shook his head and said, "It's like stepping on a suspension rope, you can't go on like this forever."

"Let's talk about it later." Li Shan said with a wry smile, "If he falls under the command of the King of Qin, the future affairs will be revealed, or the Pei clan of Hedong will change course, how can he deal with himself?"

Ma Zhou shook his head, "A few days ago, someone heard that in November last year, the crown prince was about to go to war, and Prime Minister Pei took the initiative to invite Ying. In the future, the crown prince pacified Shandong and went to Hebei to congratulate him as the prime minister."

"Pei Ji must be attached to the East Palace, but what about Pei Shiju?" Li Shan said with a sneer, "It's only been two years since this old fox joined the Tang Dynasty. Who knows if he will..."

"Li Dewu threw himself into the East Palace..."

"There are no outstanding talents in the western family of Pei's family in Hedong, but after all, everyone has survived..."

Regarding Pei Shiju, Li Shan had thought about it for a long time, but this old fox... no, it was just an old turtle, and there was really no place to attack him.

It is almost impossible to push Pei Shiju into the embrace of the prince like he did with Li Dewu... Pei Shiju served in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty successively. He has deep strategies and knows how to protect himself.

Since entering the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Wude, Pei Shiju successively served as the censor in the palace, the prince Zuo Shuzi, and the prince Zhan Shi.

Such a person...has done almost nothing in two years, neither performing the duties of the prime minister nor the duties of the prince Zhan Shi, and thanking guests behind closed doors on weekdays.

Obviously, Pei Shiju, who had experienced the battle between Yang Yong and Yang Guang in the former Sui Dynasty, had already seen the shadow of swords and swords in the future.

Li Shan rubbed the corner of his clothes and thought in his heart that Pei Shiju should have been by Li Yuan's side when the Xuanwu Gate incident happened in history.

After Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were killed, the East Palace and Qi Wangfu were besieged by soldiers and horses, or Pei Shiju came forward to persuade him to surrender... Does this prove that Li Shimin's attitude towards Pei Shiju is positive or negative?

Persuading him to surrender... Naturally, he couldn't let his confidants come forward, but the other party's leaders should come forward... Li Shan thought in his heart, maybe Pei Shiju chose the East Palace in the end?
It's a bit of a headache. If possible, Li Shan hopes to cut off Li Dewu, Pei Shiju, and even the Hedong Pei family. He really doesn't want to face Pei Shiju, an old fox.

There was a noise from outside, Su Dingfang strode in, his hands darkened, "Huiren, the charcoal you mentioned has arrived."

"How many?" Li Shan put his troubles behind him and got up with a smile, "Brother Su has worked hard."

There were more than 20 carriages outside the door, each of which was fully loaded. Li Shan checked one by one, and found that it was indeed coal... that is, coal. Most of them were not formed, but they could still be used.

Hedong, later Shanxi Province, is the region with the largest coal production in the world, while Guanzhong, probably later Shaanxi Province, is second only to the former in terms of coal resources.

In this era, it is a luxury to be a coal boss, but it is not too difficult to collect some coal that is exposed on the ground or buried in shallow soil.

As early as last year, when Li Shan was preparing to fire red bricks, he specifically asked...Su Dingfang moved to Guanzhong when he was young, and did not return to Hebei until he was 15 years old. He immediately mentioned several places with coal.

When firing red bricks, coal powder needs to be added when making bricks, and coal is mainly used when firing kilns.

The former can greatly reduce the firing time, and the latter can greatly reduce the firing cost... If you use white charcoal or charcoal to fire bricks, you will suffer a lot. It is better to build a house directly with wood and stone.

"Everything is ready, we only owe the east wind." Li Shan rubbed his hands and called Tan Liu, "The east wind has arrived, let's start tomorrow."

Tan Liu is a native of Xingzhou. He once worked in a criminal kiln and knew the kiln firing technology.

Arranging for manpower to put the transported coal away, Li Shan pondered in his heart, after all, after more than 1000 years, he did not know how many times it would take to burn it successfully.

Seeing those cinders, Li Shan couldn't help thinking, let Qi Laoliu try it later... In the countryside, briquettes were a good thing.
