Chapter 96
The picture is revealed!
Sure enough, Zhu Biao's guess was correct. The queen of the mother was really paying attention to him. Moreover, the lion opened his mouth and had to eat all his stone carbon ore with one mouth.
Zhu Biao wanted to refuse, but he did not dare to say it directly. He knew that since the mother had opened a golden mouth, it would be impossible for him to not bleed. He could only say tactfully: "Mother, my son's expenses have been a bit large recently. How about the son's son giving you 10%, even if he is the son's son's filial piety to you?"
Queen Ma's smile was not diminished, but the words she said were cold wind: "I heard that Han Du had taken 10% of them. It turns out that in your heart, is the same place between mother and Han Du? It really makes mother sad, and it is useless to bring you up since childhood. At that time, your father was fighting every day, and I took you with me at home, worried all day long, and even coaxed you to sleep at night~"
"Stop, stop, mother, just tell me, how much do you want? Let's talk about it first, it's impossible. You should leave some for Erchen. There are also a lot of mouths waiting for Erchen to feed him?"
Seeing this, Queen Ma stopped beating around the bush with Zhu Biao and said bluntly: "Take out 30% for the mother, and leave 10% for yourself."
Zhu Biao suddenly felt a pain in his heart and asked Empress Ma with a sad face: "Mother, is it the same as Han Du in your heart in your heart?"
Zhu Biao rebels and returned Empress Ma's words to her just now.
However, Zhu Biao still miscalculated. After all, he was too young and not as knowledgeable as Queen Ma.
Queen Ma chuckled and said, "What do you think?"
When Zhu Biao heard this, his tone was stagnant and looked at Queen Ma in a daze. Is this his kind and dignified mother? Zhu Biao couldn't say a word, so he turned around and left angrily.
When Zhu Biao left, Queen Ma turned her back and returned to the palace.
Lao Zhu had finished his meal and was wiping his hands with a cloth towel. When he saw Queen Ma come back, he asked casually: "Girl, what are you talking about outside? Have you been talking for so long?"
Empress Ma smiled sweetly: "Biao'er is filial and takes the initiative to give me the stock of Shi Carbon Mine. I don't want it, but he insists on giving it to me. In this world, parents always give their children money. Where is the reason for children to give them to their parents? I talked with him outside for a few words, and then delayed for a while."
When Lao Zhu heard this, he felt that the family was so harmonious. A smile appeared on his face and said casually: "Since Biao'er wants to give it to you, then you can keep it for him. It is also necessary to pull him up so big that he can fulfill his filial piety. We parents, who have worked hard all their lives, should also enjoy their filial piety. Hahaha~"
Queen Ma smiled and nodded.
The next day, Zhu Biao summoned Han Du to the East Palace.
"I asked my father for advice. My father believed that the price of stone carbon is lower, which can make the people profit. Twenty cents and one hundred kilograms, you can sell it at this price."
"How many?" Han Du was shocked by Zhu Biao's words, and even waived the honorific title of Zhu Biao.
However, Zhu Biao is kind-hearted, and he and Han Du are also very familiar with each other, so he didn't care.
"Twenty-month one hundred kilograms, this is the price set by the father. You can sell it at this price."
Han Du smiled bitterly after hearing this, without caring about it, and quickly waved his hand to stop him, "Your Highness's clarity, you must not sell it at this price."
Zhu Biao glanced at Han Du in a strange way, "Is Han Du really what his father said, and when he talks about making money, he immediately becomes insatiable?"
Zhu Biao coughed twice, calmed down and said lightly: "Let's sell it at this price. After all, it's the price set by his father. It doesn't matter if we can make the people profit. We make less money."
Zhu Biao’s implication is very simple. The price was set by the emperor, in order to make the people profit. Don’t insist on it anymore. If you make less money, you can earn less. Just treat it as losing money and avoid disaster.
Han Du smiled even harder after hearing this, and sighed: "The emperor wants the people to benefit, so I naturally support it, but...ah~ Your Highness should go with me and meet the emperor."
"Is there any problem?" Zhu Biao asked in confusion when he saw Han Du's expression was wrong.
But Han Du didn't mean to explain to Zhu Biao now, so he shook his head and said nothing. It's not that Han Du didn't want to explain to Zhu Biao, but in fact, even if he explained to Zhu Biao here, he would have to explain it again when he arrived at Lao Zhu.
Therefore, it would be better to wait until Lao Zhu’s place and explain it together.
Seeing Han Du's expression serious and knew that things might be extraordinary, Zhu Biao did not hesitate and immediately took Han Du to see his father.
In Fengtian Hall, Lao Zhu, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, saw the prince and Han Du coming together, and after thinking about it, his face darkened.
"My minister, Han Du, pay homage to the Emperor."
"Get up, come here together, what's wrong with me?" Old Zhu's voice was deep.
Han Du, who was standing up in front of Yuqian, felt a little nervous in his heart.
Zhu Biao didn't say anything and turned his attention to Han Du.
Han Du instantly felt a needle prick on his skin. Without raising his eyes, he knew that Old Zhu had followed Zhu Biao's gaze and looked at him.
"I'm asking the emperor." Han Du said with a tough bullet. Although Han Du knew that no matter what he said at this time, he had to say it.
"Say!" Lao Zhu's face was cold. He spoke out in just one word, but it seemed to be filled with the cold wind inside the cracks of his teeth.
"I told the emperor that the price of carboniferous ore must not be too low." After Han Du said this, he suddenly felt that the pressure on his body suddenly increased.
I heard Old Zhu say calmly: "Haha, I want to seek some benefits for the people, but I didn't expect that when I got to you, Handu, would it be a mistake?"
There are so many mistakes, but the emperor must not make mistakes.
When Han Du heard Lao Zhu say the word "wrong" and his heart suddenly became tight. He was afraid that the butcher knife on his head would fall, so he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, please listen to me and make a decision."
At this time, Zhu Biao also spoke out to help Han Du, "Father, Han Du is not so arrogant and rude. Please ask your father to listen to what he said, and then punish him?"
Although Zhu Biao was helping Han Du, in fact, Zhu Biao had already scolded Han Du in his heart. Han Du, don’t you know that your father’s father is arbitrary? At this time, you still don’t know why he calmed down his father’s anger and said that?
"Tell me!" Old Zhu put down the Zhu's clue in his hand and leaned back.
Han Du had to bite the bullet and said again: "The emperor clearly understands the good deeds of the emperor to benefit the people are moved by my heart. But~"
The thing I fear most is a thing, but there is often something that is opposite to the original intention afterwards.
However, Han Du had to explain clearly to Lao Zhu: "However, there is a problem, and I have to report to the emperor. There are 130,000 households in the capital. There were no charcoal in the past, and it was all supported by charcoal. I wonder if this matter is true?"
When Lao Zhu heard this, his anger was relieved in his heart. He thought for a while and nodded, "Of course it is."
Seeing that Lao Zhu could still listen to the advice, Han Du became more courageous, "The emperor clearly understands that the 130,000 households in the capital need a huge amount of charcoal every year. As far as I estimate, the number of people who live in the entire capital by charcoal management is at least tens of thousands."
Lao Zhu nodded and agreed with Han Du's guess that made sense. If tens of thousands of households in the capital were not engaged in charcoal management, it would not be possible for the entire capital to support the charcoal demand.
Han Du continued: "I dare not assert that these tens of thousands of people are related to many households, but the livelihood of these people is already a big problem. If charcoal is sold at a price of 20,000 kilograms, it will inevitably lead to the charcoal in the capital that cannot be sold directly. In this way, the livelihood of these tens of thousands of people will immediately become a huge social problem."
When Han Du said this, his eyes turned red and looked up at Lao Zhu, "Master, if the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people are cut off instantly, it will be dead."

The imperial pen in Lao Zhu's hand suddenly fell on the imperial desk, and the cinnabar on the tip of the pen instantly dyed a large piece of red on the imperial desk.
Zhu Yuanzhang was able to fight from a commoner to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. His grasp of people's hearts was naturally no worse than Han Du. Therefore, Lao Zhu instantly understood that what Han Du said was not false.
Tens of thousands of people suddenly lose their livelihoods, and it is impossible not to die.
Zhu Biao was also sweating profusely when he listened. Now he finally understood why Han Du didn't tell him the reason directly. That's because even if Han Du told him, he could not make this decision. If something like this is related to the lives of tens of thousands of people, he still had to let his father make an idea.
"You, you~" Old Zhu trembled his hand and pointed at Han Du.
Han Du immediately bowed, "Please give a clear explanation."
"What do you think should?" Old Zhu Long's robe waved and roared like anger.
Han Du looked up and Ling Ran was not afraid, "I thought the price of carbonite should be compared with the Chengshenan, who coexisted by charcoal. At the current price of 300 to 350 cents and 100 kilograms of charcoal in the capital, it is more reasonable to have a price of 120 cents and 130 cents. In this way, although the price of carbonite is lower than charcoal, charcoal is not only completely replaced by carbonite. Those who used to be engaged in charcoal manufacturing and selling in the past will have a certain impact on their income, but they will not have no income at all at once. At least, they can barely make a living and there will be no chaos."
After saying that, Han Du crawled on the ground and did not dare to get up, waiting for Lao Zhu's ruling.
After hearing Han Du's words, Lao Zhu's heart was shocked.
He obviously wanted to benefit the people, but how did it become a move to force the people's lives? Old Zhu was furious and he was not convinced.
But at the same time, Lao Zhu had to admit that Han Du's statement was reasonable and well-founded.
If he sells carbonite at the price he originally sets, the scene described by Han Du will definitely appear.
