    Within two days, the soldiers who agreed to sell the prisoners of war to Li Min took the prisoners to the palace. After Li Min paid the money, he threw all the Tibetan prisoners of war into the coal mines in Black Rock Mountain. At the same time, he had more than a thousand  The personal guards were also divided into two parts and sent to the coal mines in turns to serve as supervisors.

    In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of these personal guards, in addition to the food and salary issued by the Ministry of War, the overseas personal guards also enjoy outbound subsidies from the palace. The subsidies are very generous, not even much less than their regular food and salary.  Moreover, Li Min also asked people to formulate an internal reward system. As long as the miners supervised by the guards can produce a certain amount of coal every month, they can receive corresponding funds. Now the enthusiasm of all the guards has been mobilized.  , vying to be the first to work as a supervisor in the coal mine.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Before Li Min could take a breath, Cheng Huailiang and the others came to the door again.

    "Liu Lang, I really admire you, you are simply a man who has the Midas touch to turn stone into gold!" As soon as the servant reported, Cheng Huailiang was the first to rush into the hall, sat down on the chair and said with a smile.  Li Jingye, Qin Huaiyu and others also came in soon after, with smiles on their faces.

    Before Li Min could say anything, Li Yong, Li Jingheng and others also came in from outside. Different from others, Li Yong's face was full of anger, as if something had happened to him that was unhappy with Li Jingheng and the others.  There is a clear distance between them.

    "Liu Lang, these greedy bastards are jealous of your coal, and they shamelessly insist on getting a piece of your pie. I was so angry that I had a quarrel with them!" As soon as Li Yong came in, he sat down next to Li Min angrily.  , pointing at Li Jingheng and the others.

    "Jiulang, don't speak so harshly. Coal is not only produced in the mines in Liulang, but also in other places. Liulang can't eat it alone. If we help Liulang get more coal,  Mining some of it will allow more cement plants to use it, and then the use of cement will also be promoted. Wouldn't it be easier for Liuyang, the cement supervisor?" Li Jingheng was very good at talking, and he made his plans to make money very upright.

    Now Li Min finally understood what was going on. After the coal was mined, Li Min had someone send some to the cement factory in Chang'an for trial use. It is estimated that after receiving the news, they immediately saw the impact of coal on cement.  Because of the importance of production, I was a little careful. After all, although charcoal cannot be said to be everywhere, it is not uncommon.  But after all, Li Min was the first to discover coal. Although they were greedy brothers, they still had to get Li Min's consent first, otherwise they would not be able to justify it in face.

    "Haha~, so that's what happened. I thought why did everyone come to my place unexpectedly?" Li Min laughed. He would definitely not be able to swallow such a huge coal industry with his own appetite. The most he could do  He would be content to monopolize the coal supply in Chang'an and nearby areas. As for other places, whoever has the ability can do it. He has no control over it for the time being anyway.

    "Liu Lang, you are so generous, but you were the first to discover that charcoal can be used in cement production?" Li Yong felt very sorry for Li and asked angrily.

    "Ninth brother, don't say that. We are all brothers, and even if you don't do the coal business, other people will definitely follow suit after seeing me digging coal and selling it for money. Instead of letting those people get rich after me,  Why not take advantage of your own brothers?" Li Min said with a smile. He was telling the truth. After all, people are profit-seeking by nature. After seeing the huge profits contained in coal, there will definitely be people looking for coal mines everywhere.

    "Look, Liu Lang can still see clearly. Why don't you understand, Jiulang?" Li Xiaojie, the eldest in his generation, also smiled. He didn't have any particular thoughts about charcoal, although Wu Wangzui's hot sales gave him a share.  He made a lot of profits, but with the intervention of Princess Jiangxia and Princess Hejian, all of them were placed with his wife, Princess Qinghe. Now they are all used by the princess to pay off old debts. Therefore, Li Xiaojie is still a pauper for the time being, and he is powerless even if he wants to.

    Li Yong is a stupid boy, and he got into trouble just now. It may be useless for others to persuade him, but he can still listen to what his good friend Li Min says, and he is not stupid. He knows that what Li Min said is also the truth. Now  The twist in my mind also turned around, but for the sake of face, I still kept a tight face and refused to admit my mistake.

    "Why, is this what everyone is here for today?" Li Min saw that the misunderstanding was resolved, and asked everyone again with a smile.

    "Haha, to be honest with Liu Lang, in fact, the reason why we all came to you is not only to get your permission to do the coal-making thing, but also to treat you to a banquet. First, we want to thank you for your support in the matter of the cement factory.  Everyone¡¯s guidance and help also helped Ye Xu to catch up with him, and he will be released from the palace by Duke Wei in two days." Li Jingye, a brat, spoke first, and when he heard him mention Li Ye Xu,  Everyone couldn't help laughing.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Now, Li Yexu, who had never met Li Min, was really an unlucky guy. For some unknown reason, Wei Gong Li Jing was very strict with him. He would get angry over trivial matters and even use sticks.  However, Li Yexu also had a restless temper and liked to get into trouble at every turn. As a result, Mr. Li spent most of the year at home, either recuperating or in confinement, and rarely had a few days of freedom.  time.  During the last Five Kings Banquet, for some unknown reason, he was beaten by Duke Wei and couldn't get out of bed for several days. After the injury healed, he was put in solitary confinement. Therefore, Li Min had heard of his name for a long time but never had the chance to meet him.

    "Haha, I have been a close friend of Brother Yexu for a long time, but we have never had the opportunity to meet him. I will trouble you brothers to introduce him to you then." Li Min laughed and said. He was also very curious about Li Yexu and wanted to see him.  Look at what this man who has been beaten by Duke Wei since childhood, but never changed his ways, looks like.

    "Ye Xu is an easy person to get along with, but that guy is a troublemaker. Liu Lang, you'd better stay away from him so as not to get involved by him." Qin Huaiyu said with a wry smile. Looking at him, it seemed that he had been in trouble before.  I must have suffered a loss in this regard.

    Qin Huaiyu's words aroused the sympathy of many people, and they nodded unconsciously. Only Li Jingye had a playful expression on his face. He must have not been implicated by Li Yexu because of his cunning.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out??and everyone took Li Min to the Furong Garden, where the Qujiang Pool is very famous.  Furong Garden is located in the southeast corner of Chang'an City. The garden is dominated by waterscapes, a natural scenery with a winding coastline. Lotus, calamus and other aquatic plants are planted in the pond. Boats can also be rowed on the pond. Pavilions and pavilions are looming among the flowers and trees.  In between, the scenery is very charming.  However, the scenery is good, but these old men traveling together in Qujiang made Li Min feel very awkward. It would be great if the Cheng Hualiang and others around him were replaced by beauties. The beauties and beautiful scenery echo each other. This is one of the great enjoyments of life.  !

    Li Min and the others played until it was almost dark before they came back. However, what he didn't expect was that Wang Xijun, who had not been seen in the palace for several days, had been waiting for him in the palace for a long time.  Last time Qinghe and Li Zhi were planning to open a cold drink shop with Li Min's help, and Li Min left the matter to Wang Xijun.  Now the scale of this cold drink shop is not small. Qinghe and the others brought in all their brothers and sisters who were still in the palace. Even the two youngest princesses Xincheng and Changshan were not left behind. They all joined in and opened this cold drink shop.  The background of the store is extremely powerful, and even the winery jointly owned by Li Min, Li Xiaogong and others pales in comparison.

    "Your Highness, the cold drink shop has been prepared. Tomorrow is a good time to open!" Seeing Li Min coming back, Wang Xijun, who was playing cards with Hua'er who stayed in the mansion, immediately stood up and reported.

    "Huh? Xijun, I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to have turned darker. Did you forget to put on makeup today?" Li Min really missed Wang Xijun after not seeing her for a few days, so she couldn't help but tease her when they met.

    In response to Li Min's teasing, Wang Xijun gave him a big eye roll. She had been busy at the cold drink shop these days and was exposed to the sun every day. How could she not get dark?

    "Your Highness, not to mention Sister Xijun, even Sister Wen'er and I are tanned. Didn't you notice?" Hua'er, a girl who wants to grab everything, ran up and said with a resentful look on her face.

    "Really? Let me see!" Li Min leaned towards Hua'er's face, stretched out his hand and touched her extremely white and tender skin. It felt smoother than a shelled egg, and there was no trace of blackening anywhere.  sign?  However, Li Min would not expose Hua'er's lies in a shocking way. Is it interesting to have a beautiful little maid who acts coquettishly from time to time?

    "Hey, there seems to be some signs of darkening!" Li Min said deliberately, "But it doesn't matter. I have many exclusive secret recipes here. For example, make a facial mask and apply it frequently. After a while, the skin will become whiter.  So tender.¡±

    "Facial mask?" Wang Xijun and the other three girls asked in surprise. No matter what age girls are, it is natural to love beauty. When they heard that there was something that could make the skin whiter and tenderer, they immediately became extremely concerned.

    "Yes, you just mix several materials with whitening functions together, then apply it on your face. After a while, wash it off, and then your skin will become elastic and smooth. And if you insist on using it, it will also have whitening effects.  The whitening and anti-wrinkle functions allow girls to maintain their youthful radiance." Li Min used all the advertising slogans he had seen on TV before. Anyway, he didn't need to take it too seriously to coax girls.

    "Really? Your Highness, please teach us how to make that facial mask?" Even Wen'er, who had always been reserved, became excited, holding Li Min's arm and shaking it.  Wang Xijun was also worried about his tanned skin. He was very excited when he heard what Li Min said about the facial mask, with eager eyes in his eyes.

    "Hehe, I can teach you, but there are conditions!" Li Yin smiled.He said with a smile, he was idle anyway, and teasing these little beauties was a good way to kill time.

    "What conditions?" the three women asked together.

    "The condition is actually very simple, that is, I will help you apply it with my own hands!" Li Ming smiled very obscenely.

    "What kind of condition is this?" Wen'er and Hua'er both looked confused, but then they came to their senses and looked at the red-faced Wang Xijun next to them, with a naughty smile on their faces.  They got along with Li Min day and night, and it was common for them to cuddle and cuddle, but Wang Xijun was different. Last time, Li Min just touched her finger, and she was so frightened that she ran away. She was still unconscious for a long time.  Now Li Min had to apply facial masks to them with his own hands and let a man touch her cheeks. This was definitely very embarrassing for an unmarried girl.

    "Hmph~, just apply it!" Seeing Li Min and Wen'er looking at her with joking eyes, Wang Xijun's stubborn temper also rose, and she said angrily. Anyway, she had already made up her mind to do it.  When entering Prince Liang's Mansion, are you still afraid of Li Min touching your cheek?
