"Is there no way to deal with this? If the coal is not released, my business will be compensated to death." said one of the merchants.

"You don't know, the Wang family is so dark. You said that 90% of the coal from the Tang Dynasty was produced by them, right? But there may not be any other places. It was this Wang family, before gathering their own business, and they also stocked up a large amount of coal from other places. Now, when the coal producers in other places saw that they had a profit, they stopped selling it, and were waiting for the rise to a higher level to buy more money." The man who said there was someone above him said with a certain look on his face.

In fact, there is really someone above him, and that person is Zhang Nan.

These words were taught to him by Zhang Nan. What Zhang Nan has to do now is to point all the fingers that these merchants cannot buy coal at the Wang family rather than at the conflict between the Wang family and Comrade Lao Li.

Doing this can maximize the picking of Comrade Lao Li, and it also maximizes the protection of Comrade Lao Li's glorious image.

Moreover, Zhang Nan needs to evoke all the anger of these merchants. Now they dare not speak out. The result of Zhang Nan's desire is that they dare to be angry and dare to speak out. When these merchants can no longer bear it, it is time for Zhang Nan to take out all the prepared coals.

That's right, on the night when Comrade Lao Li and Wang Mozhi started the war, Comrade Lao Li had already sent a decree to King Silla who had been in office for a while. He asked him to use the whole country to mine coal.

That's right, Comrade Lao Li did not prepare in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, because Comrade Lao Li knew that no matter where coal was mined, it would arouse Wang Mozhi's suspicion. Therefore, in order to ensure that the plan did not have a miscarriage, Comrade Lao Li turned his attention to Silla.

Silla's coal resources are also abundant, but Silla has no steam engine to use, so it has not been mined vigorously. People use it to burn things because this thing is resistant to burning fire than firewood.

In fact, since the Han Dynasty, there have been records of mining and utilization in China, and it is very likely that coal will be used in smelting and production.

Since the Han Dynasty, there have been more and more records about coal. The "Yuzhangji" mentioned the use of coal to cook rice, which shows that the purpose has become very daily. In addition to smelting iron and cooking rice, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there are also records that people used coal to keep warm at that time.

However, the amount of coal used by people is still too small, and it cannot form a climate. It is basically self-sufficient. Unlike in Taiyuan now, there is a relatively mature set of large-scale coal mining facilities and processes.

As a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, especially after Jin Deman and Jin Shengman's younger brother, the current King of Silla, came to power, Silla has moved closer to the Tang Dynasty to the greatest extent.

The people of Silla don’t know, but Silla King knows that his two sisters are living well in the Tang Dynasty.

So it is not an exaggeration to say that Silla is a small Tang Dynasty now.

The first thing King Silla did after he came to power was to order the whole country to learn Chinese, and he also changed the Silla system to the Tang system, and he had to follow the Tang Dynasty.

So as soon as Comrade Lao Li's decree arrived, King Silla ordered all craftsmen across the country to mine coal vigorously.

Of course, Comrade Lao Li didn't let this Silla King work in vain.

Comrade Lao Li used the iron smelting technology that was on the verge of elimination in the Tang Dynasty to exchange it with King Silla. This iron smelting technology is not a rare thing in the Tang Dynasty, but it is a very rare thing in Silla.

The Tang Dynasty used this kind of iron smelting technology to equip the army's weapons. Of course, the Tang Dynasty's army had gradually become over-steel weapons, so such iron smelting technology was only used in daily life, so naturally there was no need to keep it confidential.

But for Silla, being able to obtain such iron smelting technology is simply a pie from the sky. After all, the iron tools they forged now do not meet the standards of daily iron tools in the Tang Dynasty.

Now Comrade Lao Li has given them this technology, and they only have to pay some cheap labor and coal that is completely worthless in Silla.

Such a business was unanimously agreed by the Silla court.

Now a lot of coal mined from Silla has been stored, but Comrade Lao Li still decided to take more. Anyway, the merchants have not jumped too hard yet, so Comrade Lao Li still wants to squeeze more Silla oil and water.

Of course, Comrade Lao Li also said that if the mining volume of Silla this time satisfies him, Comrade Lao Li also agreed to the Silla King to do coal business with him in the future, and the price was very fair, and the price offered was basically one-half of the official price of the Tang Dynasty.

However, even at this price, King Silla still agreed with gratitude because he had no idea how high the coals had for the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, this thing is indeed not valuable in Silla, and the people use it to burn fire.

There were many Silla merchants in Datang, but none of them were in the coal business. It was not that Silla merchants did not want to do the coal business, but in order not to disrupt the market in Datang, Comrade Lao Li also thought that he could get involved in this business, so he deliberately restricted the import of coal.

The result was also very clear. Comrade Lao Li's hand did not reach into the Wang family's business, and coal became a means used by the Wang family to threaten Comrade Lao Li.

As the master who can only take advantage but not suffer losses, Comrade Lao Li will naturally not let go of the Wang family who threatened him easily.

Now, for Silla, the coal business is directly preparing to become a national foreign trade business in Silla. Even if the merchants in Silla want to do it, Silla King will not give them this opportunity.

For the Tang Dynasty, Wang Mozhi was still immersed in the dream of the black gold empire created by coal. Comrade Li had already begun to secretly cross Chencang, preparing to release a large amount of cheap coal when the merchants could not hold on, and suffocate all the coal in the hands of the Wang family to death.

Next, we will build several coal mining sites in other parts of the Tang Dynasty, not relying entirely on the Wang family's coal.

Of course, it is impossible for Comrade Lao Li to completely eliminate the power of the Wang family. If he directly defeated the Wang family this time, it is likely that other families will join forces to keep warm, which is extremely unfavorable for Comrade Lao Li.

All Comrade Lao Li had to do was to hit the Wang family back before liberation, so that they would not have the dream of spring and autumn anymore, and to let them understand that Li Shimin had the final say in this Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, this is also a warning to other families, making them understand that fighting with him will not end well.

And Comrade Li also believed that even if he punched the Wang family, other aristocratic families would not say anything.
