"Master, should we push the coal to Hecheng? After all, there is some prosperity there. Qi Yan asked. Hecheng is the central city of Liuzhou, which is equivalent to Qiuzhou City, with many people and wealthy merchants, and where to sell coal blocks, it is naturally more profitable than selling them in this small county.

"That's what I mean." Yuan Qing nodded slightly, "But don't ask us to beg, let people take the initiative to beg us." When she said this, the corners of her mouth seemed to be smiling, in this world, there is only one coal mine for them, and she doesn't seem to need to beg others in a low voice.

"What does the master mean?" Ki was puzzled.

"Liuzhou is a place with many fields and few mountains, and the trees on the mountains have been almost cut down in recent years, right?" Yuan Qing suddenly asked her this question.

"Yes." Qi Yan nodded, in the past few days, she has also been secretly looking at the topography of Liuzhou, there are many heaven and earth, few mountains, and relatively few trees.

"That's good, there are few mountains, there is not much firewood, they need to burn the fire, so naturally they will come to sell coal." Yuan Qingdao. "Qi Yan, have you found anything in Liuzhou these days?" In the five days they have been selling coal here, Qi has traveled to all the more prosperous cities in Liuzhou.

"In those more prosperous places in Liuzhou, the firewood they burn is transported from far away, and the price is not cheap, in recent years, because the wood in Liuzhou is almost finished, there is no firewood to burn, foreign firewood, are very profitable, and in order to protect the trees on the mountain, the government of Liuzhou issued an order, not allowed to go up the mountain to cut wood without permission, so the firewood they want to burn are transported from other places." Qi Yan told the truth about the news he had discovered.

"Very good, it seems that our coal blocks have a big market in Liuzhou, a place where there is a shortage of fuel." Yuan Qing nodded.

This small county town is just a small corner of Liuzhou, and here is close to Qiuzhou, people have no firewood, they can go up the mountain, but in the center of Liuzhou, what if they have no firewood? You can only rely on foreign firewood. In this era, there is no electricity, and every household is from all walks of life. Fire is needed, only firewood, if there is such a thing as coal......

It's exciting.

"Tomorrow, let's find someone to transport a few truckloads of coal to Hecheng." At last. Yuan Qing said softly.

"Okay." Qi Yan replied.

There was no more talk all night.

The next day, Yuan Qing and the others had breakfast early, and Qi Yi had already arranged for someone to bring three carts of coal to go first and the city, and they walked behind, and now they were going to meet someone.

"That'...... Son. You wait at the inn first, and Qi Qi and I will go to meet someone first, and we will be back immediately. Yuan Qing looked at the extremely handsome man opposite, and thought about it, there seemed to be no more suitable title for him here than Gongzi.

Li Chen heard her call her son-in-law, why did she feel so awkward? At the moment, there were many people around, and he couldn't refute it, so he said lightly: "Go early and return early." ”

"Got it." Yuan Qing nodded, then turned his head to look at Qi Yan and said, "Qi Qi, let's go." ”

The two walked out of the inn, and today they were going to meet. The fruit vendor in Qi Yan's mouth last night, he said that he was going to come to sell coal with them, so he naturally needed to talk, and he made an appointment in a teahouse, which was clean and a good place to talk about things.

The two walked in, walked into the teahouse, and showed their intentions, Xiao Er led them to a private room on the second floor and knocked on the door. The people inside answered, and the two entered.

The fragrance of tea is light but cool, and a middle-aged man sits at the table, sipping tea. Seeing that the two of them greeted them slightly, the man was dressed elegantly, and his figure was not as fat as this age, and he looked a little bit of the unrevealed luxury of a rich family.

"Two girls, please be seated." The man raised his hand and motioned for them to sit down, and poured them a cup of tea.

"Sir is gracious." Yuan Qing didn't look like a small trader when he looked at him. Very well-behaved to sit across from him.

Qi Yan also sat at the table, and the three of them didn't say anything, but drank tea first.

"Girl, the other day you were selling coal on the street, how much coal do you have?" The man went straight in.

"Well, there are a lot of them." Yuan Qing nodded lightly and said, "Mr. wants to buy coal from us?" "He's direct, and she doesn't beat around the bush.

"To be honest, I'm very interested in coal, but I don't know much about it, and I hope you can tell me about it." The man said and looked up at the other side, not looking like a girl who would think of selling coal.

"Well, coal is a mineral, and stone is almost the same thing that exists in heaven and earth, but it is much less than stone, and coal can be used to make fires, and it is much better than firewood, and it burns for a long time, speaking of which, sir, what do you think?" Yuan Qing briefly introduced the coal, raised his eyes and looked at him.

The man is already in his forties, but he looks younger, only in his thirties, well-dressed, although his facial features are ordinary, but they make people look comfortable, and people like him will be interested in the new industry of coal, which means that he will not be too bad.

After all, it is better for people to have a kind of insight that is far beyond ordinary people.

"Girl, you asked well, I'm similar to what you think, although I am not one of the richest businessmen in Liuzhou, but I still have some stores that are empty, I am in the fruit business, fruit is a seasonal product, harvested in autumn and sold out in winter, so in spring and summer, most of my stores are empty." The man said slowly.

"Sir, you mean you want to book coal blocks for spring and summer with us?" Yuan Qingdao.

"Yes, although it's not a whole year, but it's spring and summer, and the time is not short, I don't know what you think?" The man said that he was also a shrewd businessman, and the fruits were sold out in autumn and winter, and it was worth thinking about what to sell in spring and summer.

"Okay." Yuan Qing didn't shirk either, and responded boldly, "I don't know sir, how much are you going to book?" ”

"My shop is in these small counties, there are three in total, one is here, two are in Hecheng, you can talk about the price." The man said.

Since he has two shops in Hecheng, it means that this person's business is definitely not bad, Yuan Qing thought in his heart, and said: "Coal blocks, ten cents a catty, this is already the lowest price." ”

"Baula?" The man asked. Is it those coals free shipping?

"If it is Baola, you need to pay another fee, twenty taels of silver a month, if you go and ask someone to pull coal, I think a month will definitely not be lower than this twenty taels of silver." Yuan Qing said clearly. She knows these things very well, after all, she is a businessman herself.

The man thought about it and nodded slightly, and said with a slight groan: "That's good, it's the first time we've worked together, and we don't know much about each other's situations. ”

"Well, this month, today happens to be the beginning of May." Yuan Qing reminded slightly.

"It starts today." The man said, placing the pen and paper he had brought on the table, "Let's make a contract on the paper first." ”

"Please." Yuan Qing didn't interrupt either, and respectfully asked.

Finally, negotiate with the man for business within the month, the man pays half of the money first, and then pays half of the money at the end of the month, and the two parties each hold a contract, which is an agreement.

A family has a female hundred families, and a family has coal and every family begging, before there is no other coal mine mined by Yuan Qing, the coal mine can only be bought from them.

There is no denying that.

Yuan Qing and Qi Yan, the master and servant came to the inn before, and Li Chen was still waiting for them at the inn. After everything that needs to be done here, you can leave for Hecheng.

Yuan Qing thought that she was going to Hecheng, although the man had promised to buy coal from them just now, but it was good to go and see it in person, and considering that this trip would not take long, she looked at the man next to her and said, "Lord Wang, I have to go to Hecheng later, will you go?" I mean, although I went to Hecheng to discuss business, but I didn't make a reservation in advance, maybe the time will be sent for a longer time, if you don't want to go, go back first. ”

"Why do you always drive me away?" The man said lightly.

"I didn't......" Yuan Qing's eyes widened, what? I...... Doesn't that care about you? ”

"It's good if you don't, in short, you don't have to ask me where to go in the future, I'll go wherever you go." The man looked at her and his tone was still indifferent.

Yuan Qing's inexplicable warmth rose in his heart.

"But you have to go where I go." The light tone is irrefutable.

Her heart, which had just warmed up, was now suddenly cold, and her whole face was a little broken.

didn't want to say anything, Yuan Qing turned around and walked out of the room, this room was Li Chen's guest room, she waited to talk to him about things, came outside, and a woman came to meet her, she said lazily: "Qi Yan, follow me." ”

The two walked into the room where Yuan Qing lived.

"Wait a minute, I will go to Hecheng with the prince, you stay here and pay attention to the man's movements, and see if he is sincere in buying coal with us." Yuan Qing explained to her.

"Yes, master." Qi Yan nodded.

"Yes, I'm leaving." With that, Yuan Qing got up and picked up the baggage he had prepared and walked out of the door.

Outside the door, Li Chen had come out, and he was standing in front of her door waiting for her.

"Let's go." Yuan Qing saw him as soon as he went out, and with a slight glance at him at the moment, he left without squinting.

I went downstairs, paid the room money, walked out of the inn, found a carriage, and ran out of the county seat to the legendary Hecheng.

The carriage shook and shaken, but it was also stable, the two people sitting in the carriage were also safe, outside the carriage, a middle-aged man was driving the horse, on both sides of the road, the plains were vast, spring was a sowing season, as the most paddy fields in Liuzhou, the green seedlings and green seedlings on both sides, the water and light reflected the sun, but also harmonious.

Yuan Qing sat in the carriage, and almost half of the time was to lift the curtain and look out, not only to see the scenery, but more importantly, to see if Liuzhou really lacked mountains and forests.

Looking at it along the way, Liuzhou is really a large plain with few mountains.

"Have you seen enough?" Li Chen, who was sitting on the side, looked at the more wonderful world outside her window, and there was an inexplicable feeling of discomfort in her heart. To be continued
