After sending the emperor back to the palace, Li Chao returned home.
In the study, Li Chao and Ke Qing sat on the edge of the stove to bake the fire, and the stove burned coal.
Nowadays, in Hanjing City, the vast majority of people and merchants use charcoal.
There is also a special charcoal field on the outskirts of Beijing, where the coal mined from the charcoal field is crushed, and then processed into a honeycomb shape with yellow mud and sawdust.
The coal factory has a special mold machinery, which is processed quickly, and the honeycomb coal made is also of the same shape, and the briquettes with twelve holes can be matched together when burning, which helps to burn.
This honeycomb coal is smokeless, odorless, and fully combusted.
Especially with a coal stove, it is very easy to use.
The stove in Li Chao's room is connected to an iron chimney to the outside.
This furnace body is hollow and used to hold coal, with a damper in front and a flue in the back to connect to the chimney.
This stove can boil water, cook and heat the house.
Moreover, there is a chimney leading to the outside, so there is no need to worry about gas poisoning, and it is also more economical to save coal, which is deeply liked by the people.
Put two pieces of coal, you can burn for an hour and a half, which is convenient and fast.
Compared to burning firewood in the past, it is much simpler and cleaner.
Nowadays, there are coal shops on various streets in Hanjing, and people can buy coal and pull coal by themselves, or they can ask someone to deliver it to their doors.
Nowadays, the coal industry has also expanded rapidly, coal mines, charcoal plants, and charcoal shops.
There is also coal transportation, the whole industrial chain has risen, there is a city gate in Hanjing is a charcoal car specially into the car, the car is often sprinkled with charcoal, so that the road is black, so it has been called the black carbon gate by the people.
The road leading to the suburban coal mill is also known as the Black Coal Road.
"Uncle Ke, you are one of my most trusted people.
There's something I want to leave to you. ” Ke Qing is still the same, in the eyes of outsiders, he is Li Chao's personal guard and the head of the Li family.
Few people know that his status in the Li family is actually very high, because few people know that Ke Qing's father and daughter are in charge of the mysterious organization of Li Chao's Shadow Troupe.
"San Lang has something to do, just tell me."
Ke Qing was not polite, he sat there roasting the fire, his eyelids drooped, as if he was dozing.
But only Li Chao knows that this usually inconspicuous man is actually a lion who has always been vigilant.
Ke Qing has been with him for a few years, and Li Chao also knows him well.
This is a man who can be trusted, and he has a lot of promises.
He followed Li Chao, not because Li Chao gave him a rich reward, although Li Chao is indeed bold and generous, this man is more important because of his promise and righteousness.
Li Chao lowered his voice and said, "Last time in the Hanjing Rebellion, the shadow performed very beautifully.
Especially the assassination of the Emperor Taishang, he did it unconsciously, and even Wang Chengen thought that it was really done by the people of their six doors.
The two Shadows had even been promoted, now in the middle of the six doors. ” "It's all in accordance with Saburo's plan."
Letting the shadow enter the six doors is a more dangerous move, if it is not good, it will even expose the existence of the shadow, but Li Chao still made that decision.
He believed that only by penetrating the interior of the six doors could the emperor's privileged institution be closely monitored.
"I hope the Shadow can expand a little more, and in terms of money, don't worry, I'll do my best."
"What does Saburo want me to do" "Find a way, develop more eyeliner, dark stakes, and collect more intelligence.
This year, we have added several pigeon station routes, and in cooperation with the imperial court, we have also contracted many tasks for civil letters and cargo couriers, and we can use the water and land station system of the imperial court, and the shadow can use these lines to transmit information. ” "I hope that the Zaifu of the imperial court will have our people around him, and even our people in the palace."
Ke Qingdao, "According to San Lang's instructions, in recent years, we have secretly expanded the operation of Qinglou and gambling houses, and now there are many Qinglou and gambling houses under our name, and in addition, we have also established a number of secret message transmission lines.
However, if we want to have our people around every Zaifu and minister, and even our people in the palace, I am afraid it will not be easy.
Moreover, the larger the scale, the easier it is to be exposed. ” "Shadows can engage in identity levels, and different levels are exposed to different levels of messages.
Even, Shadow can build a few more peripheral organizations, each of which is responsible for different tasks, but only the top few people in the organization know about the relationship with Shadow.
Some of the top spies and informants are only one-line contacts."
The heart of defense is indispensable.
No matter how good Li Shimin is to him now, Li Chao has always felt uneasy.
Accompanying the monarch is like accompanying the tiger, there is no sense of security by the emperor's side, and Li Chao doesn't like the feeling that fate is completely controlled by people.
"The Assassin Corps and the Killer Team should continue, find more abandoned babies and orphans to adopt, and start training from an early age."
"Understood."
"Remember, confidentiality is the most important thing, and we must ensure that even if someone misses something, they will not be found out to us."

Li Chao's annual investment in the shadows is huge, but he is still increasing his investment every year.
The money was invested after changing hands countless times, and Ke Qing was the highest person in charge of this organization.
Inserting eyeliner, collecting intelligence, assassination, etc., they are ready at any time, this is a sharp dagger hidden by Li Chao, which is usually hidden deeply, but once it is shot, it will see blood.
"After the Lantern Festival, I will leave Beijing, first go to Yangzhou Dengzhou, then go to Liaodong, and then go to South Vietnam.
You arrange manpower to collect intelligence on Pe Sha and South Vietnam in advance, so as to prepare for our march. ” Things were more or less discussed, and the study became quiet.
After a long time, Ke Qing asked, "San Lang, if something happens to the shadow, I will carry it down, but if something really happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."
This matter is very dangerous, once it is exposed, it is like a rebellion, and I am afraid that the emperor will not tolerate it.
I wonder why Saburo did such a dangerous thing."
"San Lang wants to rebel," Ke Qing looked directly at Li Chao's eyes.
Li Chao didn't evade, he shook his head with a smile.
"It's not about rebellion, it's just self-preservation.
A companion is like a tiger, and no one knows what tomorrow will bring.
I need to be prepared, the cunning rabbit still has three holes.
If there really is such a day, I can't resist without power. ” Ke Qing also shook his head and smiled, "You are not a loyal minister in your bones. ” "I'm not a fool."
Li Chao replied.
Throughout the early Tang Dynasty, most of the ministers did not have any good results, not to mention these people in the Wude Dynasty, even if it was these famous ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty in history, there were few good ends.
Liu Xun was killed, the eldest grandson Wuji was exiled and died, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, and Li Ji died a good death, but their descendants were all involved in the rebellion, and Wei Zheng died and was knocked down the tombstone.
There are a few families of famous ministers who have a good end In the past two years, Li Chao has been thinking about his future and the future of the Li family.
He became more and more insecure, guessing the emperor's thoughts all day long, worrying about the future all day long, too tired.
In the past few years, Li Chao has also been promoting the division of heroes, although the current system is not perfect, but at least compared with history, it has made a lot of progress.
Historically, Li Shimin launched the history of the World Seal Thorn, which was soon canceled.
There will be no sub-envelope system.
From the perspective of historical development, feudalism is, of course, a regression of the system, because centralization is the historical trend.
But Li Chao has been driving history backwards, because he is from a different angle.
Li Chao is a hero, a nobleman, and an emerging wealthy family.
In his position, he finally stood on the opposite side of the imperial court, which hoped for centralization and the emperor for the supremacy of the monarchy.
But what Li Chao hopes is for the nobles and the emperor to rule the world together, what he hopes is to divide the feuds, and what he hopes is to become a shareholder of the Tang Dynasty.
He has been pushing for the partition and even growing the aristocratic group.
Many of the things he did were actually very bold and not so loyal.
This was dangerous, and he could be eradicated once the emperor discovered his ambitions.
It is precisely because of this that Li Chao keeps laying out.
Shadows are just one of them.
Li Chao had never said his ultimate goal to others, but today he came out to Ke Qing.
After hearing this, Ke Qing was stunned for a long time.
He thought that Li Chao wanted to accumulate strength and wait for one day to rebel in the future.
Unexpectedly, Li Chao was actually planning such an unprecedented thing.
The emperor ruled the world with nobles and scholars The scholars ruled the world for the emperor, but the nobles ruled the empire, and even in the future they would set up a parliament and formulate a constitution, and the imperial power was no longer supreme and unrestrained, and the emperor and imperial power would be bound by the constitution.
Ke Qing felt that he couldn't understand.
But he only knew that Li Sanlang was really crazy enough.
However, he will accompany him and support him.
"A certain will always walk in the darkness for Lang Jun."
Ke Qing swears.
After Ke Qing left, Li Chao leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Is it right or wrong to do this yourself, especially if a constitutional monarchy opens a parliament, will it be too detached.
Maybe I'm just having a ridiculous dream.

But Li Chao believes that if he can really complete this goal in his lifetime, then after the constitution of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor will no longer be free to live and die, and the Li family may really be able to last for a thousand years.
"The King" A voice outside interrupted his thoughts.
"The presidents and editors-in-chief of several newspapers have arrived."
"Let them in."
Li Chao replied, then stood up and tidied up his clothes.
I am about to leave Beijing, and there are many things that need to be arranged.
Li Chao still values the shadow and the newspaper the most.
The Shadow is a force in the dark, a Shadow Dagger, and the newspaper is the mouthpiece in the sun, which is also very important.
Even though Li Chao has always declared to the outside world that the newspaper adheres to openness and fairness, Li Chao, who came from later generations, knows the power of public opinion.
He also knew that even if the newspaper really only reported the real situation, if he controlled the mouthpiece, at least he would not promote his fake news and smear news.
Public opinion is also a sharp sword, if it is used well, it can even kill people invisibly, Li Chao needs this sharp sword. t1706231537:
