There are few entertainment activities in the winter in Chang'an City, but every move of Chu King Li Kuan brought new happiness to the nobles.

There is a saying in later generations: tell me what makes you unhappy and make me happy!

What Li Kuan is doing now has a bit of this meaning.

"Master, all the mines in our family have been sold to the King of Chu. After calculation, we have earned nearly ten thousand yuan from this transaction."

"Lang Jun, I have followed your instructions and sold all the family's limestone mines around Chang'an City to His Royal Highness the King of Chu. Originally, my subordinate just wanted to test the water by offering a high price, but I didn't expect that the other party didn't offer back at all.

I agreed directly."

"My family, this is the contract for the iron ore trade. For the mine in the north of the city, the Changsun family was only willing to pay 8,000 guan, while the Chu Palace was willing to pay 15,000 guan."

…

Stewards from countless distinguished families have reported on their recent harvests.

In the past few days, Li Kuan frequently took action and spent 80% to 90% of the money he gained from selling his property.

The nobles in Chang'an City also seemed to see the words "Money comes quickly when people are stupid" written on Li Kuan's head, and they all sold some of their less important mines to Li Kuan at high prices.

Li Kuan also refused to accept anyone who came, and even pledged the land owned by the Prince of Chu's Mansion to the pledge treasury. If the debt owed to the pledge treasury was not paid in half a year, it would be a great deal of fun.

That was what Li Yuan and Li Shimin rewarded Li Kuan!

"Finally, I spent a lot of money."

Looking out the window, Li Kuan couldn't help but stretch out as heavy snow began to fall like feathers.

It’s really not easy to live a comfortable life.

"Your Majesty, this briquette stove is really useful. It's snowing heavily outside, but it doesn't feel cold at all in the house."

Qing'er brought a cup of tea to Li Kuan with a smile on her face.

My prince finally did something serious.

Under Li Kuan's personal guidance, the craftsmen under the palace produced samples of the briquette stove and briquettes in just two days, and Li Kuan naturally became the first user.

"What does this mean? If I hadn't been short of time, I would have installed heating in all the rooms in the palace. Then I won't have to worry about the cold weather."

Naturally, Li Kuan would not be complacent about such a simple thing. Unlike Qing'er and the others, when he first said that he wanted to burn coal, he disagreed with it. Now that he saw that the briquette stove was easy to use, he had a completely different attitude.

…

"Clang!"

In the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin dropped the teacup in his hand.

"What is this scoundrel doing? I wonder if he has become a joke to the nobles of Chang'an City now? Especially those aristocratic families, they are eager to see some unreliable descendants of the royal family."

After Li Shimin read the briefing given by Li Zhong, he heard that Li Kuan not only sold all the Chu Prince's Mansion, but also mortgaged all the fields outside the city in order to buy a bunch of mines that had no use.

Things like iron ore are easy to understand. Even if you can't make money, you won't lose much. But what kind of noble people would use things like coal mines?

Even ordinary people in Chang'an City are not willing to use it.

"Your Majesty, maybe His Royal Highness the King of Chu has other plans."

Li Zhong didn't want to be the one who alienated the relationship between the Tian family and his son, but he really couldn't find any excuse to excuse Li Kuan.

"Other plans, huh, I would like to know what other plans he has. Go and call him into the palace! Let's see how I teach him a lesson!"

Li Shimin had been worried about the snowstorms in various parts of Guanzhong Road these days, and when he encountered Li Kuan doing such unreliable things, he felt very angry in his heart.

…

Prince Chu's Mansion!

"Your Majesty, it's not good! Your Majesty, it's not good!"

A guard ran in from outside in a panic.

"What's wrong? This king is fine!"

Li Kuan looked at his unreliable subordinates and was a little speechless.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has sent someone to call you into the palace."

Everyone in the Chu Palace knew what Li Kuan had done recently, so when the guard heard that someone from the palace called Li Kuan to enter the palace, he immediately felt that his master was going to be in trouble.

No one in the Chu Palace could control Li Kuan, but there were still people in Chang'an who could.

"This... Your Majesty, could it be that the matter of selling things in the palace has reached His Majesty's ears?" Qing'er expressed everyone's worries.

"I have never thought of hiding anything from anyone. It is normal for Your Majesty to know."

Although Li Kuan is Li Shimin's son, he has been adopted by Li Zhiyun, so it is really not his turn to call him "father", and the title of uncle seems a bit strange.

Therefore, he has always directly addressed Li Shimin as His Majesty.

Qing'er: "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to ask the ancestor to help her make a few words?"

"Nothing happened, so I rashly disturbed her while she was doing her repairs. It was unnecessary." Li Kuan patted his butt and stood up, not worried at all about what Li Shimin would do to him.

At this moment, the little eunuch who came to deliver the oral instructions also came in.

Li Kuan followed him directly into the palace without any trace of ink.
