"General, the silk charcoal has been taken."

"Well, let's change it, and you'll also change it in your room."

"promise."

I went to the warehouse to retrieve the silk carbon. Seeing that Li Yu had already taken a shower, Huan'er and Lan'er showed a trace of obvious disappointment on their faces, but they didn't say anything. They picked up the silk scarf and helped Li Yu wipe his hair.

The weak and disappointed expressions on the faces of the two beauties made Li Yu feel a little guilty. It seemed that he hadn't done anything, so why did he feel a little sorry for them? It hurts so much.

Soon, the guards in the mansion changed the charcoal fire and quietly retreated.

Smelling the faint fragrance of silk charcoal, Li Yu took a breath of satisfaction. Spring has arrived, but Handan is still a little cold. According to the rules of previous years, it will only warm up quickly in March, and then summer begins. November to February of this era is the season of charcoal fire.

Huan'er and Lan'er couldn't help but be intoxicated when they smelled the charcoal fire. They finally didn't have to be choked by smoke anymore. In the past, there were no fireplaces or anything else in the room. The smoke smell from the charcoal fire placed in the middle of the room was really uncomfortable. This was because Li Yuruan opened the small window. Those ordinary families would be choked to death even if they were not poisoned by carbon gas.

Since he saw the charcoal fire in the palace last time, Li Yu remembered it. Although there would be no problem with getting some silk charcoal privately with his position as a palace lieutenant, he still reported to King Zhao. When he saw King Zhao's expression, Li Yu knew that he had done it right. The king would not care whether the ministers were selfish. What he cared about was whether the ministers were loyal to him, and it had nothing to do with their abilities. Otherwise, there would not be so many kings in history who favored treacherous ministers.

Li Yu also asked the eunuch who managed charcoal fire in the palace and learned that this was the charcoal fire from the top three bamboo joints in the mountains for more than ten years. As for the production of such silk carbon in Zhao State, the annual output of such silk carbon is only 10,000 kilograms. Only the palace and several lords are qualified to enjoy it. They do not know how to take out at all, and ordinary nobles do not have the opportunity.

Although the charcoal fire smoke produced by ordinary bamboo is less, it lacks the faint fragrance, and the grade is naturally much lower. Even so, the price of ordinary bamboo charcoal on the market is dozens of times that of charcoal.

Furthermore, bamboo likes to be awesome. The few bamboo forests in Zhao State were monopolized by several relatives of the royal family. Among them, the largest one with bamboo forests is Pingyuan Jun Mansion. After hearing this, Li Yu extinguished his intention of making some extra money by relying on this. He did not want to compete with the royal family for some extra money. There are thousands of ways, but he does not believe that he has knowledge that has exceeded this era for thousands of years and cannot make money, but he can't find good investment projects for the time being.

Looking at the clean silk charcoal, Li Yu remembered the headache of making money. With the investment from the Chengwei Mansion, it did solve the current military expenditure of the soldiers of the two battalions of Hu Ben and Xiaoqi, but the income and expenditure in his mansion were still on the verge of barely maintaining. It seems that he has to find some extra money deals, otherwise it will be troublesome if he needs to use it at that time. It is always good to prepare for the future.

"General, Guo's family sent an invitation today."

Helping Li Yu dry his hair, Huan'er remembered a gold invitation sent during the day, and reminded Li Yu.

"Oh, let's show me."

"promise."

After Jing Huan'er said this, Li Yu remembered that he had received invitations from Guo's family before, but he didn't expect that the other party would send another invitation. What a good person?

After taking the invitation handed over by Huan'er, Li Yu weighed it and found that it was still a pound of gold. The Guo family was really rich. If he didn't go, I wonder if the Guo family would send an invitation every day. If that was the case, there would be 30 gold in a month. This is a good note. Li Yu touched his chin and thought badly.

Seeing Li Yu's wicked smile and his slightly narrowed eyes, Huan'er and Lan'er thought the general were looking at them, and their faces suddenly turned red, waiting for him to say the words left to serve the bed with anticipation.

"Ahem, it's getting late. Huan'er, Lan'er, you go and rest too. By the way, turn this invitation into gold tomorrow to replenish the treasury." After awakening from YY's contemplation, Li Yu looked at the two little beauties who had been standing next to him, coughed twice, and said a little embarrassedly. He did not forget to instruct them to fill the invitation. There is no stable income for extra money yet, so he can save a little.

"promise."

With the same rejection again, Huan'er and Lan'er retreated in a little disappointed manner.

Early the next morning, Li Yu went to the temporary military camp south of Handan City early. General Lian Po would lead 100,000 soldiers to the Shangdang today, so he, as his grandson-in-law, would naturally go to see him off.

"Yu'er, it's just right. This is my granddaughter Lian Xin. Xiner, this is your future husband, my future general Li Yu." Seeing Li Yu coming, Lian Po happily introduced the girl beside him, and he couldn't help but praise Li Yu in his words. However, if nothing goes wrong, it will be safe for Li Yu, who is young this year to replace his father to become General Zhao in the future.

"I've met Sister Lian."

After looking at the girl beside Lian Po, Li Yu's eyes lit up slightly. He saw the girl in a samurai suit standing there pretty, beautiful, bright eyes and white teeth. Although she was young, she had already shown her charm. With the tight samurai suit, she showed her originally not very prominent figure a little. In line with the old saying that has never been easy, there are still some squeezes of chests and grooves.

This is the granddaughter of General Lian Po, one of his future wives. He is indeed a handsome and beautiful girl, which is really great. Li Yu was very satisfied. The general did not cheat him. He could barely put this beautiful girl in the room.

"The little woman has seen the general." When she saw her future husband for the first time, Lian Xin, who had been bold and extroverted, blushed slightly and replied with a ladylike salute. In her heart, she also felt that the heroic young general in front of her was quite suitable for her husband's choice. The little repulsion in her heart also disappeared, and she didn't know that the other party had already looked at her.

"Yu'er, I'm about to go to Shangdang, and I'll entrust you with all the things in my family." After recruiting such a grandson-in-law, Lian Po was relieved when he went to guard the border. He wanted to marry his daughter to Li Mu in his early years, but he didn't expect that Li Mu had made a marriage early, which made him feel regretful. Now that Li Mu's son is so outstanding, Lian Po will certainly not let it go. When the army attacked Hangu Pass, he raised it to Li Mu. With his old face, Li Mu did not refuse, but two noble daughters suddenly came out halfway.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, Yu'er will never let his grandpa down."

"Okay, so I'll feel relieved."
