I am the censor, at the beginning I denounced the empress

Chapter 278
The emergence of coal is really unexpected.

Moreover, what made him even more excited was that the coal looked like anthracite.

While discussing with Yan Liben, Tang Can ordered someone to call Qian Cong over.

The three people directly started to tinker with the coal mine.

With the cooperation of Qian Cong and Yan Liben, the boundary of coal mining was quickly determined.

Tang Can immediately planned the location of the coal yard.

To be precise, not just coal yards.

The entire industrial chain came to his mind all day long.

Coal yards, coking plants, steel mills...

Of course, he couldn't get everything ready with a breath of air and a few words.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the process from nothing to something is always troublesome.

Fortunately, Yan Liben was born as a general prisoner, and he has his own ideas about all kinds of equipment and equipment.

After Tang Can talked about it, Yan Liben could understand it, and then began to think about how to do it.

Busy, unknowingly, it is almost evening.

Someone hurried over from a distance and found Tang Can.

Only then did Tang Can remember that he had promised Tong Mingde that he would go to their house for dinner.

Immediately rush back to the capital.

……

Tong Mingde no longer lives in a tent, but has replaced it with a small courtyard similar to Tang Can's.

There are not too many servants in the courtyard.Besides Tong Mingde and Xie Yan, there was only one servant girl.

"Master Tang, long time no see."

After the guests and hosts were seated, Xie Yan said softly with a smile on her lips, "I don't know what Mr. Tang likes to eat, so I asked the servant girl to prepare a few dishes casually."

Tang Can smiled: "I can eat anything."

After joking and joking, the table naturally opened.

Thirty days after the wine and five flavors of the food, Xie Yan suddenly said, "Master Tang, I'm still a little curious, why didn't you want to bring me to Gaochang?"

Tang Can didn't expect Xie Yan to say this at this time, so he smiled immediately and said lightly, "I don't want to now either."

Tong Mingde felt that the atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable, and said with a smile, "It's all in the past."

He wanted to just brush it off, but his daughter-in-law obviously didn't think so.

Xie Yan didn't know what to think, and told what happened before.

Whether it is Shendu or Xijing, even the matter of assassins has not been left behind.

Tong Mingde was taken aback when he heard that.

Unexpectedly, when Tang Can returned from Daliang, the road was not smooth.

They had to coerce the governor of Xijing to leave safely.

"What Da Liang is doing is really inappropriate." Xie Yan suddenly changed the topic and stopped pestering Tang Can about not wanting to take her to Gaochang. She directly accused Da Liang of the problem: "In the important place of Xijing, you still ignore the legal principles. One wonders what will happen to other prefectures and counties in Daliang?"

Tang Can was slightly surprised and narrowed his eyes.

Tong Mingde was slightly taken aback.

Xie Yan continued: "The instability of people's hearts in Great Liang is a good opportunity for Gao Chang."

this bitch...

Tang Can felt more and more that he should not have brought a bitch like Xie Yan to Gaochang.

of course.

Tong Mingde has always been calm, and will not do anything just because of Xie Yan's few words.

But seeing Tong Mingde's old face was full of red light, the old couple who wanted to be newly married seemed to be in a good relationship.

If things go on like this, who knows if Tong Mingde will be swayed by the wind beside his pillow?
After a moment of silence, Tang Can said softly, "Miss Xie seems to have a lot of resentment towards Daliang."

"Knowing that you are here to make a kiss, those who don't know think that you are here to provoke Great Liang to fight Gaochang."

What I said is straightforward enough.

Xie Yan didn't deny it either, just smiled, with a trace of tenderness on the corner of her mouth: "My father died unexpectedly, as a daughter, naturally I don't dare to forget it."

Tang Can didn't speak, just looked at his wine glass.

Seeing this, Tong Mingde immediately said in a soft voice, "When is the time for revenge."

"Yeah." Tang Can nodded, and said softly, "Miss Xie wants to encourage Gao Chang to avenge you, it's a joke."

Xie Yan's face remained unchanged, and she said indifferently: "I heard that Mr. Tang did a few business deals when he was in Daliang."

"Yan'er also wants to discuss a business with the adults."

"Yan'er has brought my father's life-long painstaking efforts here. All the historical books, books, political commentaries, etc. manuscripts annotated by my father are all there."

"If my lord is willing to help, Yan'er is willing to donate all the books to Gao Chang."

Tong Mingde couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

At first glance, it sounds like they are all books, nothing special.

but……

For scholars, Xie Anshi's manuscripts have different values.

He has worked hard all his life, and for scholars, he represents a lot.

Not mentioning inheritance, but just understanding political affairs will allow many people to find solutions when dealing with political affairs.

not to mention……

Great Liang has no students, and he regards himself as Xie Anshi's student.

If this is used as a name, it is possible that Gaochang will have many more scholars at once.

This is exactly Xie Yan's plan.

What is missing, what to make up for.

In her opinion, what Gaochang lacks the most is scholars.This bargaining chip is not small.

only……

"You are a scholar who is useless." Tang Can said with a casual smile: "Gaochang wants so many scholars, it is useless."

Xie Yan's face froze.

Tong Mingde couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

After all... Both he and Tang Can are scholars to some extent.

After a long while, Xie Yan spoke again: "Master Tang really thinks so?"

"My father's life-long painstaking efforts, can't Gao Chang be allowed to seek justice for my father?"

"No." Looking at her red eyes, Tang Can couldn't help feeling a little sad and sighed: "That's not how things work."

"Yes." Xie Yan smiled self-deprecatingly: "Master Tang can naturally say that. After all, Master Tang has a document. But my father..."

"It is enough that Xie's mansion is regarded as a Confucian temple by all scholars." Tang Can really didn't want to continue this unnutritive topic with Xie Yan, so he ended the discussion somewhat abruptly.

He knew better than anyone else about Xie Anshi's death.

If it wasn't for his betrayal at the most critical moment, he would never have died.

Now the court of Great Liang must still respect him.

But what happened that day is really not humane!
……

Xie Yan left the banquet unhappy, leaving only Tang Can and Tong Mingde to sit and drink.

Two people, there are many topics to talk about.

Whether it is political affairs, or the discovery of coal today.

The more they talked, the more they drank.

Tang Can's eyes were clear, but Tong Mingde was a little more drunk.

"It's a pity that there are so many books." Tong Mingde said vaguely: "Corrupt, rotten!"

Just as Tang Can was about to say something, Tong Mingde waved his hand, interrupted him, and continued: "Books are very useful. Scholars are useless."

"There is a shortage of books in Great Liang, but there is no shortage of scholars."

"Although it looks good now, but after a year, you can find that the etiquette is lacking..."

"You know this too..."
