"Not yet." Yuan Qingtou didn't look back.

At this time, the carriage shook violently, and Yuan Qing, who was not sitting properly, was shaken by the carriage, and she fell straight backwards, "What's the matter?" She didn't forget to ask out loud.

"There was a big pothole on the road just now, but it's over now." The man who was driving the car outside the car returned.

The carriage was not big, they were sitting on their sides, Yuan Qing almost hit the plank behind him, but Li Chen quickly caught her fallen body, and at this moment, Yuan Qing had fallen into his arms.

A strange feeling slowly wandered between the two.

"I ...... Thank you. Yuan Qing raised his eyes and apologized to him, wanting to get up and return to his post.

She remembered it, but Li Chen held her hand but didn't let go, he frowned slightly, and said lightly: "I said it all, don't say so many thank you words to me." ”

She leaned half-recliningly in his arms, raised her eyes to look at his near-perfect face, and glanced at nine words for a long time: "Thanksgiving is a beautiful morality of people." ”

"Are you morally good?" He looked down at her and said lightly.

"What's wrong with my morals?" She almost gritted her teeth, this girl was clearly questioning my character.

"Not necessarily." He seemed to think about it for a long time, and finally shook his head solemnly.

"Why not?" She pouted, thinking about her own viciousness, well, I don't seem to be a morally good person......

I am afraid to investigate everything.

At this time, in the evening, the sky was low, the carriage went to a post station, stopped, the two of them came down, rested at the post station for a night, and continued to rush during the day tomorrow, and estimated that in the evening, they finally came to Hecheng.

Hecheng is in the center of Liuzhou, a rather prosperous place, and it definitely does not lose the most lively capital of this era. The two of them walked on this lively street, surrounded by many pedestrians, enthusiastic vendors, and shops on both sides were still open. Although it was already evening.

I found an inn and stayed at the inn.

Hecheng is located in the center of Liuzhou, with endless plains and developed water transportation, which is clearly different from the surrounding states with many high mountains. In general, Liuzhou is a basin, surrounded by a high mountain, which surrounds the basin.

Therefore, the firewood needed in Liuzhou can be imported directly in the surrounding states and counties, and in Liuzhou, there are many people who have made a fortune by selling firewood, and people are very close to this big cake. A few days ago, well-informed people knew that a kind of coal that could replace firewood was gradually rising in Qiuzhou City, how could smart people not care?

The man was prescient. Without hesitation, he came to the small county town of Liuzhou to negotiate with Yuan Qing to buy coal, probably for this reason.

Because all aspects of coal mining are very low-key, Yuan Qing and Li Chen, the two behind-the-scenes bosses, are rarely known, and they entered Hecheng without any trouble, just like the peace of the country.

It's just that the men who openly transported coal into the city were targeted, and the coal was pulled in a horse-drawn cart, without too many hidden devices, and walked on the street. One can tell it at a glance.

Coal is said to be a better combustible substance than firewood, and the news is a challenger for these vendors who made their fortunes selling firewood. is also a fierce enemy, they see it in their eyes, and their hearts secretly breed the idea of how to get these coal blocks out of Hecheng.

"Let's find out, where are these pieces of coal going to be transported, and who dares to openly buy and sell them?" In the dark of night. A middle-aged man said in a calm voice.

"Yes." The spy dressed in black walked away with agility.

It was night, and the sky was starless and moonless, and it was bleak.

"Boss Qin, the coal has been pulled, a total of three cars." A big man pointed to the black coals on the three carriages behind him and said, "You count them." ”

The group counted the weight of the coal, and sent two henchmen on both sides to keep the accounts, three truckloads of coal totaled 785 catties, and one catty of coal was ten cents, but it was easy to earn.

Leaving the coal behind, the men left, they worked in the coal mine in Bilian Village, and they needed manpower to transport coal, so they came to help.

Of course, the money and goods are still in the hands of the high-level, who are only responsible for delivering and counting the goods and keeping accounts.

Not far away, a man in black probed the reality, and in the dark night, he came and went without a trace, and he flashed softly and went away.

"It's Qin Huanfeng." The man in black came to a small courtyard and said respectfully to a man standing with his hands in his hands.

"Qin Huanfeng, he doesn't sell his fruit well, but he wants to touch the coal......" said the man's lips with a grim smile, "Go inform the others, I'm here to see how Qin Huanfeng sells coal." ”

"Yes." With that, the man in black turned around and disappeared into the night.

In Liuzhou, there is a huge demand for fuel, so there are many people who start by selling firewood, will they watch the coal come into front of people and replace the position of firewood? As long as they still want to make money, no one wants to see it.

Just as an old force suppresses a new force, in order to keep its position. No matter what the industry.

The night of this Hecheng is deep, the lights on the street are not extinguished, it takes two days for the coal to pull down from Bilian Village and Hecheng, just now the coal has been transported to Hecheng, and handed over to the hands of the coal buyer, the goods have been delivered, the delivery person does not care about anything else, the person who receives the goods, the goods are at his disposal.

The goods were coals, and there were three carts, which needed to be sold in the city. Coal is fuel, it is a good thing in Hecheng, which lacks fuel, that Qin Huanfeng is a fruit merchant, and he is also a rich and face-to-face person in Hecheng, and the coal he bought is not used for himself to burn, but to be sold to others to burn.

The next day, a fruit shop that had been closed was opened again today, but instead of selling fruits, he bought a kind of black thing that he had heard of, but had never seen of a black thing like a stone, and the people of the city were very curious and fresh when they saw this scene.

There were a lot of spectators crowded in front of the fruit shop.

"Guys, coal is used for burning, twice as good as firewood, don't believe it, look at how coal burns." A man lit a small pile of coals in front of everyone, and when the coals were dry, there was a little firewood, and they burned slowly, and the more they burned, the better.

The crowd of onlookers was very miraculous, this black stone can really ignite? Well, and it's better than firewood burning for a long time.

After such a demonstration, everyone slowly accepted the existence of this piece of coal comparable to firewood, and then one or two people shouted: "How much is a catty, I will buy a catty." ”

"Don't worry, everyone, today is the first time our store sells coal, the price is very cheap, fifteen dollars a catty, half price."

"So expensive? Fifteen cents is half price. "One person is dissatisfied.

"Yes, according to you, thirty yuan a pound of coal, this is too expensive."

"Alas, folks, this is not expensive, think about how much is a pound of firewood for you to buy?" The man raised his hand to signal silence.

Liuzhou lacks fuel, so firewood is naturally more expensive than anywhere else.

"It seems to make sense to hear you say that, this coal block is indeed cheaper than firewood." One groaned, and finally nodded deeply.

"I'm not lying to you, this coal is a rare thing, have you ever seen that stone be pure black? These lumps of coal are hard to come by, and they can burn longer than those firewoods, so why don't you come and buy them? The man touched everyone's minds and said clearly.

"Well, the lumps of coal are good."

"I'll buy five pounds."

"I'll buy seven pounds."

"Don't squeeze everyone, take your time, there are a lot of coals."

As a result, the fruit shop changed to sell coal, not only did not deviate from the market, but ushered in the best time for the fruit shop.

"Shopkeeper, no, when we first transported the coal, we were hijacked by the people from the Bai Family Association, and the coal was pushed away by them." A man came anxiously, and the man whispered in a low voice.

Last night, a total of three truckloads of coal were transported, and now there is one cart in sales, and the remaining two trucks were robbed by the people from the Bai Jiahui.

After a while, a truckload of coal was snatched up, "Is there still coal?" ”

"Is it just a little coal? How to make a fire? ”

"Guys, I'm really sorry, the coal is sold out today, come back tomorrow." When the man got the news, he was very resentful in his heart, this Bai family association was really too deceitful, but he couldn't show it to everyone, and raised his hand to signal everyone to disperse.

There is no coal, and those who have not grabbed it will break up unhappily.

The Bai family will be an existence similar to the underworld in Hecheng, and because their leader has some background, no one dares to offend the entire Hecheng at will. The Bai family will be in charge of the most profitable firewood business in Hecheng, and basically want to sell firewood in Hecheng again, either they are very strong, or they will join the Bai family.

Selling fuel coal in Hecheng definitely infringes on the interests of everyone in the Bai family's firewood business, how can they sit idly by? It's just that their means are always unscrupulous.

Qin Mansion, the vermilion gate was violently slammed, the sound of the impact heard in the door, hurriedly ran to open the door, the door was muffled, a small guy poked his head out, there were four or five people standing outside the door, the leader was a well-dressed man with a majestic face, and there were three men standing behind him, one of his henchmen.

"Sixth Master, please inside." The little guy opened the door at the gate for three years, and he always remembered the big people who often came.

The man at the head didn't talk nonsense with the little guy, and he walked forward, and no one reported to the master at all, so they were put in by the little guy with the momentum that he didn't dare to provoke, which shows that these six masters are not ordinary people.

"The master is not good, the sixth master outside the door broke into the mansion with a few big men." The butler saw it from afar, and hurried towards the hall.

In the hall, Qin Huanfeng, the owner of the Qin Mansion, sat at the top, and when he heard the housekeeper's words, he couldn't help frowning, it seemed that he was selling coal in Hecheng and really angered the people of the Bai Family Association. He was the man who discussed the sale of coal with Yuan Qing in the small county town one day.

"I haven't seen the sixth master for a long time, why does he look angry?" When Qin Huanfeng saw the sixth master walk in, he didn't get up, he just sat on the first place, looked at him with both eyes, and said lightly. To be continued
