Zhang Nan took the passbook in the hands of Comrade Lao Li and looked at it, and Zhang Nan thought about it, Li Su had successfully arrived in Tubo, and Li Su should have reported his safety to Zhang Nan, but because Zhang Nan was not in Datang, Li Su could not be contacted, and now Li Su has begun to contact Comrade Li in a single line.

The initial missionary work was not very difficult, with the help of Dachi and Zhang Nan's route to Li Su, Li Su's missionary work was also smooth, and now there is nothing too worrying about the Tibetan side.

The second fold says that the power system has been built, and now that the power plant has been built, it is waiting to deliver the electricity from these thermal power to thousands of households.

And the third fold is written on the matter of Wang Mozhi, now the Wang family has collected all the industries around Taiyuan, and what can be sold is almost sold, and the development of the coal business with peace of mind is honest in recent times, but according to the secret report from the people under Comrade Li, the current Wang family has stored a lot of coal, just waiting for the power system to start supplying the whole Chang'an and make a windfall.

This is also why Comrade Lao Li has not announced the matter of electricity until now.

After Zhang Nan finished reading the fold, he put it back on Comrade Li's bookcase.

"How about Qingquan, do you have any ideas?" Comrade Lao Li opened his mouth and asked, if you want to say what is the biggest headache for Comrade Lao Li now, it is not Tubo, nor anything else, it is the Taiyuan Wang family, this Wang family is like an iron plate in Taiyuan, and Comrade Lao Li has no way to eat them because they are also tigers.

"Your Majesty, do you want to attack the Taiyuan royal family?" Zhang Nan asked curiously.

After listening to Zhang Nan's question, Lao Li narrowed his eyes, and then said: "I can't wait to directly eradicate the Wang family now, but I can't do this, the Wang family's power is too big, so big that I can't act rashly, otherwise there will be chaos, but if it is not stopped, this Wang family will let them become bigger, and this is not a thing." ”

"In that case, the only good way is to limit the Wang family's coal." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"It's light to say, now nearly ninety percent of the coal in the Tang Dynasty comes from Taiyuan, this is called how I restrict him, now steam trains and automobiles have become the first choice for businessmen to pull goods, if this coal is broken, let them choose the delivery method in the past, it will definitely be impossible." Comrade Lao Li frowned and said.

Now Datang has entered the steam age, and the people are no longer surprised by things like steam engines, and coal is the main power of steam engines, and Comrade Lao Li can't limit it at all.

I can't control the people's purchases, nor can I control the Wang family's mining, which really makes Comrade Li feel powerless.

"In fact, the emperor doesn't have to be like this, the minister's coal layout is about to be preliminarily completed." When Zhang Nan saw Lao Li like this, he still decided to give Lao Li an explanation.

Hearing that Zhang Nan was actually laying out the Wang family, Lao Li suddenly became interested.

"Hurry up, tell me what's going on." Comrade Lao Li hurriedly asked, it was Zhang Nan who strongly requested coal mining, and it was also Zhang Nan who deliberately leaked the distribution of coal resources to the Wang family, and now Zhang Nan actually said that he was laying out.

"Does the emperor remember the secret report that the Wang family began to sell their property in Taiyuan? Go all out to enter the coal circle, and look like you want to be the boss of the dragon. Zhang Nan asked.

Lao Li nodded after hearing this.

"This is the first step, first yān gē the Wang family's industry, and then say, the current Wang family can be said to be less attentive to things in the court than before, what do you think, Emperor?"

"Yes, I also discovered this, except for the matter of coal, now Wang Mozhi in the court almost does not speak." Comrade Lao Li nodded and admitted.

"yān gē made the Wang family's industry go deeper and deeper on the road of coal, so deep that the Wang family can't do without this coal at all, this is the purpose of the minister, but the Wang family is not fools, if there are not enough benefits, how can they sacrifice so many things in exchange for the coal business?"

"In fact, the coal in Datang is much more than the emperor thinks, Shanxi, is just a place where coal is produced, even not far from our Chang'an City, as long as the emperor is willing to dig it, it will definitely be able to dig out." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Are you saying that Datang doesn't just have so much coal in Shanxi?" Comrade Lao Li is a smart person, and as soon as Zhang Nan said this, Comrade Lao Li knew what to do next.

"Of course, Datang has a lot of resources, how can there be no coal? Besides, there is no Datang, is there no around my Datang? This coal is not a rare thing at all, and the minister is doing it now just to let the Wang family get into the trap. Zhang Nan continued.

"The current Wang family is simply only concerned about the immediate dividends, and has not thought about this matter clearly at all, so we will take this opportunity to quickly harvest the Wang family's property and cut off their financial route." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he laughed.

A family, if there is no monopoly industry, then this big family is not far from falling apart, after all, if there is only one industry, it can't be the boss, then there is basically no money, there will be no money, and there will definitely be problems in the distribution of resources in the family.

Now the eyes of the Wang family are all on coal, and they don't care much about the affairs of the court. In their opinion, as long as there is still their place in the court, plus the support of the coal business, there will be room for them to speak in the court.

"Your Majesty, now is a good opportunity, so that Li Ke can start to start with the officials in the corners of the Wang family, we will shovel their power in the court while absorbing their Taiyuan industry, and when the time comes, the emperor, you can send someone to other places to mine coal, don't they like to monopolize?" Even the official price dares to rise privately, and when four or five new large-scale coal mines pop up, the emperor will set the official price again, and I guarantee that this coal industry can drag the Wang family to death, if you don't want to be dragged to death, then obediently sell coal according to the official price, so that there is still a glimmer of life. ”

Before Zhang Nan's words fell, Comrade Lao Li slapped the table, and then shouted: "Okay! Qingquan, I really didn't misunderstand you, this bureau is really wonderful. ”

"Your Majesty, although we have begun to enter the age of steam, it has not yet reached the point where there is not enough coal, and everyone is rushing to need it." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
