No wonder, after seeing his countermeasures, the emperor had such a strange attitude that he did not commend him, but instead threw him out of the Golden Palace.

The imperial court can reclaim the Tongshan Mountain in the world, which can greatly enrich the national treasury, and it is no problem to double it. But this will allow the princes and the powerful families to cut off their flesh!

Those who come up with this strategy will definitely hate the princes in the world.

They can't do anything to the emperor, but they will definitely find a way to deal with him, the little Hunhou.

It seems that I have to hide in the Pingwang Mansion honestly during this period and can't go out.

Listen to the sound of the wind and see if there is any movement outside.

Li Yu thought about it carefully and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. Even if the emperor knows that the benefits of banning privately casting copper coins are huge, it will not be implemented hastily. The ministers of the court will inevitably have many opponents.

Now the Great Chu has been recuperating for more than ten years, the court is prosperous, and the warehouse is full of money and grain. The emperor will not use it easily, and this kind of strategy that has attracted too much opposition.

Unless one day the court is short of money...”

Chu Tianxiu thought for a long time.

The court is not short of money now.

However, the "Strategy for Reducing the Vandals" written by Chao Fangzheng is a national policy that requires the use of the army.

Emperor Xiang Yanran may not be tempted by the reduction of the vassal states. Once the court fought, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses and food were supplied, and the money was burned like flowing water, and there would definitely be a shortage of money... Of course, I would think of "The ban on private casting of copper coins".

Chu Tianxiu was very uneasy and said, "I don't know what the emperor is thinking.

No matter what, I will dig it first.

Yu'er, please send someone to dig out more copper, it is best to dig it in a year or two. When the emperor is short of money one day, he will give an order to seal the copper mountain when he thinks of this move. It will be too late to dig again."

Li Yu nodded, "Okay! There are only dozens of miners digging this copper mine on weekdays to prevent the copper mine from being dug out quickly.

Although most of the kings and clans have copper mountains in their families, they dig slowly little by little so that future generations can enjoy the shade.

It’s winter now. The farmers in Danyang County don’t farm and go up the mountain to harvest firewood and earn some change. I asked the three thousand farmers under my fief to go to Tongshan to mine."

“So great!”

Chu Tianxiu nodded.

Li Yu immediately ordered Di'er to go to Danyang County.

Danyang County is not far from Jinling City, and it is about 100 miles away, and it can be reached in one day by horse riding. A large number of farmers in the fiefdom of Danyang County are hired to go to the copper mine in Ma'anshan.

Dig quickly and minimize losses.

...

After Chu Tianxiu finished doing this, he rested in Yuyuan and waited for Xiaohan's results to be released for four days.

Once the imperial court releases the results, it is possible to guess what the emperor is thinking.

He felt a little guilty.

If they did this thing that would make the powerful people in the court go crazy, if they knew about it, would they be assassinated when they went out?

Forget it, just stay in Yuyuan, which is the safest.

The warm stove was burning with refined charcoal, and the study was as warm as summer. Chu Tianxiu was lying on a long lounge chair, eating cold watermelons, and looking at the snow scene in the Yuyuan courtyard, which was quite free.

After feeding the last petal of watermelon, Zuer said with some worries: "Son-in-law, this is the last one!" All the fruits and fruits of the whole winter were eaten up by his son-in-law.

"It's gone so soon? A lot of fruits and vegetables are planted in the warm room of the royal palace?"

Chu Tianxiu was stunned.

He only ate two or three watermelons in total.

"The warm room in the royal palace is not big. Most of them are vegetables, with only a small amount of fruits and vegetables. There is only one watermelon vine, three of which are eaten by you."

Joo shook her head and said.

Before she could taste it much, she ate a small piece.

There are only three melons in a greenhouse.

Chu Tianxiu was a little stunned. Could it be that he had no fruit to eat in winter?

He immediately took Zuer to see the warm room of Prince Ping's Mansion.

Greenhouses actually existed very early.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a palace where "Taiguan Garden grows onions in winter and leeks are fed, covered with veranda, ignite fire day and night, and wait for warm air to grow."

This is a good thing that the emperor can enjoy.

Of course, there is also a warm room in the Pingwang Mansion, which specializes in growing fruits and vegetables in winter.

Zuer took Chu Tianxiu to the "warm room".

Only then did he see that the warm room was indeed very small. It was about half an acre, with walls on all sides, sheds blocking snow, and opened when the sun came out.

The heating room is next to the kitchen in the royal palace, and uses the residual heat of the stove to heat up the heating room.

In such a small warm room, most of them grow vegetables and a small amount of fruits and melons. They can only barely supply them to the prince, second wife, princess and son-in-law to eat.

The kitchen manager saw that his son-in-law came, and quickly bowed and bowed.

"This warm room is too small, it has to be expanded by a few acres! Otherwise, wouldn't there be no fresh fruits and vegetables in winter?!"

Chu Tianxiu pointed to the greenhouse and said.

"Son-in-law, there is still an open space in the royal palace... but the daily charcoal fire in these acres of land is extremely costly. The second wife will definitely not approve the money."

The hard way to manage things.

Chu Tianxiu thought for a while, pointed to an open space next to the heating room and said, "Build a wall to enclose this area, and then use cow dung and horse manure to compose the warmth. The king's mansion is too much. There is no need to burn charcoal.

By the way, are there any hot springs near Jinling City? Buy a piece of land near the hot springs, use hot springs to water the land, plant fruits and fruits, and do not use charcoal fire. It is enough to plant dozens of acres!"

"This...can this work?"

The manager opened his mouth wide in surprise.

He has never heard of these two methods of greenhouses.

Seeing him like this, Chu Tianxiu knew that no one had ever tried this.

"Zhu'er, go and tell the princess that your son-in-law wants money. Go to the vicinity of Jinling City, find a hot spring to buy a hundred acres of land to build a greenhouse, and plant fresh fruits and fruits in winter. Just transport them back to the mansion. In the future, the fresh fruits and fruits in our palace will be kept enough."

He said to Zuer.

"Okay!"

Joey was overjoyed. If there were dozens of acres of greenhouses, she would be able to eat sweet watermelons in winter.

Chu Tianxiu pondered.

As the saying goes, “Fresh fruits in winter and ice in summer.”

There were no freezers and air conditioners in ancient times, so I could only use ice caves!

"By the way, where is the ice cellar in the Pingwang Mansion? How much ice can it be stored?"

He asked.

"Ice cellar?...There is no one in the palace. I heard that there is only an ice cellar in the palace."

The manager was stunned and said quickly.

Chu Tianxiu was speechless. Such a large Pingwang Mansion had no ice cellar.

He remembered that there was an ice cellar in Hunhou Mansion.

Fortunately, he asked more. Otherwise, in summer, there would be no ice in Prince Ping's Mansion to cool down and quench thirst, and he would be dying of heat.

"Zu'er is back. You go to the county to find a private money. Hurry up and dig out a large cave of several acres before New Year's Eve! Before the ice melts, go to the river to cut ice cubes and fill the ice cellar with ice.

By the way, I’m in charge. Go and ask the second wife if she wants to invest some money? She doesn’t invest money, and she won’t have her share when it’s summer!”

Chu Tianxiu said.

"this...?"
Chapter completed!
