    Wang Jinyuan stretched out his hand and swore an oath so steadfastly, especially the look of admiration on his face, that even Fang Jifan began to wonder if his reputation was showing signs of recovery.

    In any case, with Wang Jinyuan joining, this 'Zhenguo Coal Industry' is half successful. After all, he has been in the business world for a long time, has many contacts, and has rich experience. Whether it is Zhu Houzhao or Fang Jifan, they are more suitable to retreat behind the scenes and let these people  Wait for a professional to handle the problem.

    Fang Jifan is the big boss and Wang Jinyuan is the big shopkeeper. As for His Royal Highness, he naturally becomes the most suitable promotion spokesperson.

    Hearing the word spokesperson, Zhu Houzhao tilted his neck and thought about any words related to spokesperson. In the end, he still had only a vague idea: "Who is more important, the spokesperson or the big boss?"

    Fang Jifan raised his thumb: "Same size!"

    "Oh." Zhu Houzhao was immediately happy: "Although the name is not domineering enough, I thought about it and thought it would be good. When doing business, you need to be approachable. The spokespersonit doesn't sound easy to scare people. But,  What does a spokesperson do?¡±

    Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile and said: "Advertising our coal widely will represent the image of our town's coal industry."

    Zhu Houzhao suddenly became energetic and his eyes shone brightly: "I am so heroic and brave, this is perfect. You know me best!"

    Fang Jifan immediately raised his thumbs up: "His Royal Highness has a majestic image, which is a perfect match for our Zhenguo Coal Industry."

    In my heart, I couldn¡¯t help but curse, it¡¯s shameless!

    The cabinet is located in an inconspicuous corner of the Forbidden City.

    But although this place is inconspicuous, it is the center of the entire world.

    Countless memorials from all over the world will be sent here first for the cabinet scholars to read. After these prime ministers and ministers draft the memorials, they will be sent to the emperor for review.

    The so-called draft is the suggestion of the cabinet academicians. For example, a certain official in a certain place writes a memorial to something. After reading it, the academician writes down suggestions under the memorial based on his own experience, and then sends it to the emperor. The emperor reads it first.  After reviewing the contents of the memorial and the Grand Master's suggestions, the final decision was made.

    Out of respect for the cabinet grandmaster, under normal circumstances, the suggestions would be adopted. Therefore, the emperor only needed to draw a red circle under the memorial and handle the matter according to the cabinet grandmaster's wishes.

    Because of the power conferred by this vote, the cabinet academicians were called prime ministers and assistants in the Ming Dynasty. Although they were not prime ministers, they had the same status and power as the prime ministers.

    The cabinet¡¯s chief assistant scholar Liu Jian, bachelor Li Dongyang and Xie Qian would enter the palace early every morning, then pay homage to the emperor and discuss matters with the emperor in the Nuan Pavilion.

    Afterwards, they went back to the cabinet to draft the memorandum. At noon, the three old guys, who were both colleagues and close friends, went to the tea room next to the duty room to drink tea, eat some cakes, and talk about their respective opinions.  Views on recent current events.

    Outside this warm teahouse, the snow was flying heavily, and the snow was already one foot thick. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this natural phenomenon was enough to make the three bachelors worried.

    Liu Jian took a sip of tea, put down the cup, sighed and said, "I don't know why, but since the ninth year of Hongzhi, every Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather has suddenly turned cold, so that spring doesn't look like spring, and autumn doesn't look like autumn anymore.  It¡¯s no big deal that the grain production has been reduced. Your Majesty has worked hard in the past few years and there is enough old grain in the treasury. It is not a problem for the court, but it is a hardship for the people. I heard that many refugees are still on the streets, not to mention, there are so many poor people.  The common people don¡¯t even have anything to keep warm. Sirs, if this happens every year, how can we get it?¡±

    Xie Qian sighed and had no intention of drinking the tea: "I heard rumors that there is something wrong with the imperial court?"

    "Ahem" Li Dongyang coughed. Xie Qian was an eloquent man who would use his tongue to show off his words to anyone he caught. He couldn't hide things in his mouth. Li Dongyang seemed cautious: "Mr.  "

    Liu Jian just smiled bitterly and shook his head.

    "God's affairs are beyond the control of cabinet bachelors."

    But at this moment, Liu Jian noticed someone peeking outside the room. Liu Jian raised his eyelids slightly, showing a majestic look: "Come in."

    The person who came was a young eunuch, with a hunched body. When he raised his face, Liu Jian vaguely remembered this person. This person was actually Liu Jin, the prince's eldest companion.

    Liu Jin smiled flatteringly and said: "I have met Mr. Liu, Mr. Xie, and Mr. Li. The weather has changed in the past few days, and there has been a sudden heavy snowfall. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is thinking about the three masters, so he sent a special servant to give them to the three masters."  Add some firewood to keep warm."

    Liu JianThe three of them, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, stayed for a while and looked at each other.

    His Royal Highness usually hides away from the three of them when he sees them, let alone taking the initiative to get close to them.  What happened today? He actually took the initiative to care about these three old guys.

    Liu Jian suddenly showed a look of relief, stroking his beard and nodding: "Okay, okay, okay, His Highness the Crown Prince is sensible." Liu Jian is not only the chief minister of the cabinet, but also the Crown Prince Tutor.  Even though he is a prince, he is still the prince's teacher. As a prince, he should respect his teacher.

    What does this mean? It means that His Royal Highness has grown up and knows how to love others.

    Liu Jian's eyes were full of energy, and the corners of his eyes were actually a little moist. The prince is the hope of the country's future. This child has finally become sensible. It is gratifying that such a considerate minister can behave like a father.

    Xie Qian also grinned, but Li Dongyang seemed to feel something strange. He looked as usual and just said: "Please tell the prince that I will thank His Highness for the gift."

    Liu Jin, with eyes wide open, still refused to leave, and said with a smile: "His Highness said that he must watch with his own eyes the three masters add firewood before leaving."

    Liu Jian raised his hand: "Then add it."

    "Okay, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also ordered that the servants should personally change the braziers for the three masters."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "Wait a minute!" Li Dongyang was the most attentive. He always felt that things were not that simple. He stared at the brazier and frowned: "Isn't this charcoal? This is coal!"

    It¡¯s coal!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Liu Jian¡¯s expression suddenly changed. Is this child¡¯s play?

    Xie Qian was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Your Highness, you are trying to kill someone. Is he immoral or not? He is so young.

    The coal of this era is naturally different from the coal of later generations. It cannot be refined. The sulfur content in this coal is extremely high. Once burned, a large amount of sulfur dioxide will be produced. If too much is inhaled, it will really kill people.  of.

    It is common sense that burning coal for heating is tantamount to committing suicide.

    Xie Qian was furious and was about to scold him.

    Liu Jin said with a smile: "You adults, don't worry, you won't be poisoned. This is anthracite. It doesn't produce smoke and is naturally non-toxic. Look, how can there be smoke here?"

    After saying this, Liu Jian and others took a closer look. Sure enough, when the coal burned, it was not as smoky as ordinary coal. Instead, it only emitted a curl of white gas. It seemed that there was no pungent smell.  .

    Um?  Is there such coal in the world?

    Xie Qian squinted his eyes and couldn't help but said: "This thing must be extremely expensive, right?"

    "It's not expensive, it's not expensive." Liu Jin said with a smile: "It's just a few big bucks per pound. The anthracite burns for a long time, and it's enough for one day."

    As soon as these words came out, Liu Jian suddenly became excited
