I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Xianhuai hurried in and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty!"

Li Chengqian quickly ordered, "Xianhuai, it's snowing heavily these days, and Prime Minister Fang is old. Immediately have Lin Dafu send a large sedan chair, the same one I rode in before. It must have four stoves inside and be cushioned. Send it quickly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After receiving the order, Zhang Xianhuai immediately turned around and went out to do his job.

Fang Xuanling said with deep emotion: "Your Majesty has taken so much trouble. I am deeply grateful to you."

Li Chengqian shook his head slightly. "It is I who caused Prime Minister Fang to worry so much. I promise you that by the end of this year, I will allow you to go to Xianyang to live out your remaining years and enjoy a peaceful life."

In Xianyang City, the headquarters of Qianyu Chamber of Commerce was bustling with activity.

If we were to ask who is the hardest-working person in their entrepreneurial team, it would be Lin Dafu.

Even during the New Year when the whole family is happy and reunited, he never stops for a moment and continues to work overtime.

The matters he was concerned with were numerous and varied, the most important of which was the sale of anthracite throughout the country.

Although anthracite is now sold at a low price of one penny per piece, there is actually still some profit in it.

Although the profit from a single piece of anthracite is so small that it is almost negligible, when the number accumulates to tens of thousands of pieces, the profit cannot be underestimated.

It is also thanks to Your Majesty's kindness that he insisted on pricing a piece of anthracite at only one penny, which made it almost impossible for merchants to make any profit.

If it were me who made the decision.

A piece of anthracite should cost at least two cents, right?

However, whenever he thought of Li Chengqian's original intention of insisting on selling it for only one penny, a warm feeling would arise in his heart involuntarily, and the corners of his mouth would unconsciously rise, revealing a relieved smile.

It is precisely such a Majesty who cares about the world and has compassion for the people that is worthy of his willingness to follow him at all costs and to the death.

But even so! It couldn't change Lin Dafu's deep feeling of helplessness towards Li Chengqian's spending speed.

The scale of the spending and the speed of the spending cannot be simply described with the word "fierce".

Look at the entire Chang'an city, with all the construction projects, big and small.

Not a single cent was spent from the national treasury on this series of construction projects; all expenses were borne solely by the Qianyu Chamber of Commerce.

Not to mention the operating costs of the numerous coal plants and the expenses required for food, clothing, housing and transportation for a large number of workers, the huge military expenditures required for fighting on the front lines alone are already a heavy burden.

Add to that the occasional grand annual gatherings, the upcoming wedding expenses for His Majesty, and the Zhenguan Ceremony His Majesty wants to hold...

Money is spent like water, it cannot be described!

Lin Dafu often wondered in his heart, is Chang'an City really so poor and destitute?

They are almost sucking all the money out of Xianyang City!

Just as Lin Dafu was looking worried and frowning, sighing over the table full of accounts, there was a gentle knock on his office door.

"Come in!" Lin Dafu responded casually without raising his head.

Zhang Xianhuai pushed the door open and walked in. His brow was covered with snowflakes. He had originally wanted to come to Lin Dafu's office to warm up. After all, it was snowing heavily outside and the weather was freezing cold.

He rode all the way from Chang'an!

But unexpectedly, there was not even a coal stove lit in Lin Dafu's office, which was not much better than the cold outside.

Lin Dafu glanced at Zhang Xianhuai and said unhappily, "What are you doing here again? It's definitely not good! Last time you intercepted a batch of coal from me, what are you doing this time?"

There was a lot of vigilance in his words!

"Teacher! Look at what you said! Am I, Zhang Xianhuai, that kind of person? I came here this time to bring good news!"
