In the palace and royal study room, when he saw Li Jing bringing a basket, Luo Zhang knew that Li Jing and the others must have brought coal.

Sure enough, when Li Jing lifted up the white cloth on the basket, what was revealed were irregular pieces of coal.

Li Shimin naturally saw the things in the basket for the first time, but after looking at it for a long time, there was nothing but a dark mass.

"Is this the black gold you are talking about? Will there be gold here?" Li Shimin asked doubtfully.

Luo Zhang almost laughed out loud when he heard this. If there was gold in the coal, they would be prosperous. How could they tell the prince? They would just divide it among themselves.

"Your Majesty, the reason why this coal is called black gold is not because its ability is like gold, but because its value is comparable to gold!" Li Jing explained.

"Oh? This black thing is actually comparable to gold? Can you tell me how it is comparable to gold?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, if you want to see it, you have to go outside. You can't see it here!" Li Jing said with a slight smile, and the others also laughed.

This aroused Li Shimin's curiosity even more, and he immediately stood up and followed Li Jing outside.

When they came to the open garden outside the imperial study, Li Shimin looked at the basket placed among the people and said, "Now that we are outside, can you show me how this thing is comparable to gold?"

Li Jing called a guard and asked him to bring a brazier, and then he threw the coals in the basket into the brazier.

Li Shimin couldn't figure out what he was doing, but he didn't speak, but watched quietly.

Soon, when I threw it into the brazier, the black thing turned fiery red and was lit on fire.

"This...this is..." No matter how stupid Li Shimin was, he could see that this dark thing could actually burn, and it looked like it could burn for a long time, just like firewood.

"That's right, Your Majesty, this thing is similar to firewood. They are both things that can burn. The heat of burning is no less than that of firewood, and it lasts longer. The most important thing is that this thing is inexhaustible!"

Li Jing became more and more excited as he spoke.

Even Li Shimin, who is usually calm and composed, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard what Li Jing said. Can it replace firewood and be inexhaustible for heating? Isn't this comparable to gold? Even

More valuable than gold.

Although gold is precious, it is a dead thing. It cannot be eaten, cannot be worn, and it cannot keep you warm. But this coal is different. It can help many people avoid being cold in winter. If it is inexhaustible, it will be inexhaustible.

I'm afraid its price will be very cheap, even poor people can afford it, and there will no longer be people freezing to death on the streets in winter. This...

Thinking of this, Li Shimin also became excited. He looked at Li Jing and said, "Is this place where you chose the fief?"

Li Jing and others looked at each other and said honestly: "Yes, Your Majesty, this object was indeed found there. We didn't know what it was at first. In the end, Luo Zhang told me to wait, otherwise we would have been there in the ice and snow."

I froze to death, and I only survived by relying on this thing for warmth and the warmth of the igloo.”

"Oh? Did Luo Zhang find this thing and tell you about it?" Li Shimin glanced aside at Luo Zhang, who kept his head down and said nothing, but he didn't expect that this thing would also be attached to him.

"Your Majesty, I also found out about this thing after seeing it in an ancient book!" Luo Zhang explained vaguely.

Li Shimin glanced at Luo Zhang meaningfully. Only a ghost would believe what he said in ancient books.

His master must have told him, and only immortals know the function of these things. Otherwise, who would know that this black thing can actually burn? No one knows about it after it has been there for so many years, but Luo Zhang knows, what does this mean?

?

"Your Majesty, I don't know if the fiefdom we are seeking is available..." Li Jing suggested at the right time.

Li Shimin walked back to the imperial study with his hands behind his back without saying a word. This made everyone's hearts skip a beat. Could it be that His Majesty liked this thing and was reluctant to give us the fiefdom?

Everyone looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly. If this was really the case, there was nothing they could do.

When he stood in the imperial study room again, Li Shimin was sitting on his imperial chair and still said nothing. No one dared to speak, they just stood there quietly.

After a long time, Li Shimin raised his head and looked at the crowd and said: "I can give you the fiefdom, but the sale of this thing must be done by the imperial court. Do you understand what I mean?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood what His Majesty meant. Is this because he was afraid that they would sell this thing at a high price to make profits?

"Your Majesty, we have already discussed a countermeasure for this matter, that is, although the fiefdoms are together, the coal collected will be sold collectively at a price acceptable to the common people, and the money will be distributed, and the royal family will also have a share!"

Li Jing complained.

"Oh? You actually thought of it too? Yes, I thought you would be greedy and want to make ill-gotten gains. Since you want to say this, I won't say anything more. If you let me know that you can't make any money,

I will take back the land for the wealth of righteousness, do you understand?" Li Shimin looked at several people deeply and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Jing and others were overjoyed and bowed hurriedly.

If the fiefdom belongs to them but the coal is sold by the court, then they have to go to the court to get the money. The difference is big if there is a turnover in the middle. If the court launches a war and is short of money, they can misappropriate the money first.

Whatever you say, you can only hold your nose and admit it, but if the money is in their hands, it is different. It belongs to them and they do not have to ask the court for it.

Now everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since His Majesty agreed, everyone naturally did not stay here any longer and prepared to leave. After bowing to say goodbye, everyone walked out of the imperial study. However, after walking a few steps, they found Luo Zhang still standing there, and then they thought of Luo Zhang.

He didn't choose that place as a fiefdom, so he couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Shimin also discovered this and couldn't help but look at Luo Zhang and said: "Luo Zhang, why are you still here? Do you have anything to tell me?"

Luo Zhang then raised his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am also here to choose a fiefdom!"

"Well? You choose too? Didn't you join them in choosing the land two hundred miles away from Xiangcheng?" Li Shimin said, slightly stunned.

"No, I didn't ask for the fiefdom there. Instead, I gave up my share and it was occupied by the imperial court. I chose another place!" Luo Zhang replied slowly.

"You didn't want that place?" Li Shimin was quite surprised now. Just now he had calculated the balance. Even if so many people shared the benefits, their wealth would still be huge. But he didn't expect that Luo Zhang didn't.

want.

As the discoverer, Luo Zhang was the most qualified to ask for it, and he had a large share, but he didn't ask for it. This can't be described as generous, but stupid!
