Chang 'an.
All was silent.
Zhangsun Manor.
Zhangsun Wuji also received a letter.
He opened it curiously.
When he saw the contents, he frowned.
"Who gave this letter?!"
Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly asked the butler who delivered the letter.
"Master, that person said he came from the north.”
"He didn't say anything else. He said that Old Master would know after reading this letter.”
the butler replied.
Zhangsun Wuji frowned. He nodded and waved his hand, signaling the butler to leave.
"Li Yin!"
"Haunting!"
"The Turks to the north!"
"Why are you giving me this letter?”
"Do you really think that I will believe your nonsense?”
"If he, Li Yin, can kill his way back to Chang 'an, I, Zhangsun Wuji, will cut off my head and use it as a chamber pot for you.”
Zhangsun Wuji said coldly.
Then, he placed the letter in his hand on the candle and burned it.

Yanyun City.
It was a sunny day.
However, this did not affect Freezing Sky.
The people on the streets were in a hurry, and everyone wrapped their clothes tightly around themselves.
In winter, there were fewer people on the streets.
Usually, no one would come out to get cold. Wasn't it nice to stay at home to keep warm? Even if there was no charcoal at home, the house was more or less shielded from the wind. It was still better than strolling on the streets!
However, today, there was a long queue in front of a shop in Yanyun City.
Although the commoners were trembling, the wind that occasionally blew felt like a knife was cutting through their bones.
However, no one left the team. They just looked forward to it, hoping that it would be their turn soon.
"Why are you so slow?"
"Hai, I can't help it. The previous purchases were all for a car, so naturally, it was slow.”
"Why doesn't this shopkeeper open a few more shops? With so many people surrounding a shop, it was impossible to sell all of them.”
"What can I do? Just wait. In order to get through this winter more comfortably, my entire family had to endure it last year. When spring came, everyone fell sick. This year, they couldn't endure anymore.”
"Who isn't like that? It was the same last year and the year before that. Charcoal was too expensive. At that price, we could only burn it for two months without eating or drinking. This honeycomb briquet is good. It's cheap and very useful.”
"That's right, and I've already decided. I'll buy a big truck and sell it to the Liang Country or the Great Tang.”
"Definitely. This thing is comparable to gold in winter. There's no need to worry about selling it. No matter how much you have, you can sell it. Damn it, count me in. Let's be companions?”
"Sure, but this line is too long.”
“·········”
On the streets, many people lined up to discuss.
Many commoners were rushing over from their homes. The queue was getting longer and longer.
At this moment, a few more nobles who were dressed rather luxuriously walked over.
It was Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao.
They had also heard of this matter, so they checked it out.
"This honeycomb briquet is actually so popular!”Empress Xiao looked at the queue that had almost reached several intersections and said in shock.
"That's right. I've also heard that the price of honeycomb briquettes is less than 30% of charcoal.”
"This winter, the people of Yanyun City will have a good time.”
Yang Zhengdao couldn't help but sigh.
"The commoners can live better, and I feel better when I see them.”
"The commoners have really suffered for so many years.”
"From the moment His Majesty ascended the throne, I advised him to take care of the people and treat them well. However, in the end, His Majesty still did not do it.”
"If the commoners could survive the winter and eat their fill, who would rebel?”
Empress Xiao sighed.
Her eyes were filled with tears and reminiscence.
She remembered the past.
At that time, Yang Guang was still alive.
"Pass down the order. Have the patrolling guards help maintain order.”
"Also, ask this shopkeeper if he needs any help? If there is, let him mention it."
Empress Xiao ordered.
Yang Zhengdao immediately accepted the order.
At this moment, Li Yin was in the shop. Seeing such a hot business, he immediately asked He Shen to increase production and expand the store.
He Shen nodded with reddened eyes.
For the past few days, he had been keeping an eye on this business personally, afraid that it would be delayed.
It could be said that he was full of energy.
As long as he could see the silver entering his account, He Shen really didn't feel tired at all.
After Li Yin stayed in Yanyun City for a while, he left and continued to sign in.
Time flew by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The weather had reached its coldest.
Li Yin returned to Yanyun City.
In this month, the places he signed in were all small places, and there was no good reward.
However, in the month after Li Yin left Yanyun City, the honeycomb briquettes business exploded.
At the same time, with a huge amount of liquid funds, the steel mill was finally built.
Although there were only three chimneys that towered into the clouds.
However, the thick smoke that rose into the sky day and night had already announced the arrival of the quasi-industrial era.
Although there were only three furnaces, the daily output had already reached an astonishing 1,000 catties. This steel mill alone could produce nearly 400,000 catties of high-quality steel in a year.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the annual production of steel was at its peak, only two million catties.
Moreover, they were all ordinary steel, which could not compare to Li's steel mill!
Although there was still a long way to go before the official large-scale industrialization, it had at least begun from this moment on.
Naturally, with such a terrifying business, Heshen, Zhang Juzheng, and the others were also targeted.
