Seeing that the auspicious time had come, Liang Shicheng asked Tong Guan and Zhao Gou to light firecrackers to celebrate the opening of the match factory.

After some commotion, Liang Shicheng asked the workers to push the matches out.

The matches were stacked up and pushed to a half-human height, and Liang Shicheng looked at the results of the month with joy.

Sure enough, when the raw materials are sufficient, it can be produced in large quantities.

Mass production, the cost can be reduced.

Now, the cost of Liang Shicheng's matches has been greatly reduced, and the last time he was selling on the street, a box of matches was one or two pieces of silver, but now he only sells them for ten yuan.

In front of the match stand, there was a crowd of people, and the merchants were a little hesitant in the face of the price of a box of ten.

"Come on, the matches here are all free!"

Someone shouted, and as soon as they heard that it was free, the merchants and people immediately ran away.

Liang Shicheng looked sideways, and on Zong Shu's plot, there was someone on the high platform, and a person shouted with a big loudspeaker:

"Everyone's, everyone's pee, are you embarrassed to ask for money?"

"To give back to everyone, our matches are all free!"

All free?

Liang Shicheng was dumbfounded!

Zong Shu, you don't live anymore, don't pull me into the water.

Merchants and ordinary people are profit-seeking.

Where there is free, there are people.

In business wars, free is always the best killer feature.

Many officials also gathered to see what was going on in Zong Shu's plot.

Many people began to put up banners on the ground, and the slogans on them were also varied.

"Tens of millions of boxes of matches can be made, and the cold people in the world will be happy!"

"Matches aren't expensive, they're just firewood!"

Seeing this, the eunuchs under Liang Shicheng wanted to cry without tears, they spent so much effort to deal with Yexiang every day, and the matches they made were the same as firewood in their opinion?

Zhao Gou also saw the slogan and heard the sound of the horn, Zong Shu was really unwilling to fail, and deliberately came to smash the field.

After his coordination, all the raw materials of Yexiang were given to Liang Shicheng.

Zong Shu has no raw materials, and now he has used the last resort, free!

Looking at Zong Shu's land, there were many donkey carts, and many workers moved things down.

It can be seen that a small part of it is matches, and the rest is not known for what it is used for.

These matches should be the only stock of the Great Song Academy of Sciences.

Zong Shu handed over the match business to Liang Shicheng at that time, and the Great Song Academy of Sciences did not produce it again.

This inventory is given to everyone for free, and in the future, what will he do?

What if you don't have it in stock, what if you're free? At most, it will add a block to Liang Shicheng and the officials.

After tomorrow, all merchants and ordinary people will have to buy Liang Shicheng's matches.

At this time, the big horn on the platform sounded again:

"In order to reflect His Majesty's imperial grace and His Royal Highness the Prince's love for the people, in order to celebrate the marriage of Zong Shu and His Royal Highness Zhuzhu, in the future, our matches will be free forever!"

Free forever?

Live fryer too.

And such a good thing?

Some merchants and people have tried matches, and most of them have heard of matches, which are better than fire sickles, but they are too expensive.

However, the clan now announces that in the future, matches will be free forever.

That's great! Zong Shu, a great good man.

Liang Shicheng's eyes rolled white, oh my God, Zong Shu, aren't you crazy?

How did I get involved with this madman?

When, where, and what did I offend this madman?

Zhao Gou smiled and patted Liang Shicheng's shoulder: "Guarding the road, don't worry." Zong Shu's matches will be delivered immediately. ”

That's right, Liang Shicheng smiled embarrassedly, did he have some phobia towards Zong Shu?

Zong Shu made a slight move, Liang Shicheng thought too much, was he too sensitive?

Or is King Kang right, where does Zong Shu have so many matches? Without a supply of raw materials, where will his follow-up matches come from?

It's free forever, and it's better to say than to sing! Zong Shu is apparently out of stock permanently.

And the donkey cart on that end came one after another, and the workers moved things down from time to time, what was this for?

Could it be that Zong Shu's purpose was not to sell matches, but to rely on the popularity of Liang Shicheng's match factory to sell other things?

That's a great idea!

This guy did this today, by the way, to smash the field, the purpose is to rub the field.

Tong Guan found the abnormality and pulled Liang Shicheng's sleeve: "That kid from the Zong family, why are there so many matches?" ”

On the high platform, there are already a lot of matches.

Looking at the posture, its number has exceeded Liang Shicheng's match production this month.

And the workers continued to move things down.

Oh my God, where did Zong Shu and Lin Lingsu get the night incense?

Tong Guan guessed that Zong Shu and Lin Lingsu definitely went to other cities, such as Beijing Daming, Xijing Luoyang and other cities, and built match factories here.

In these cities, Zong Shu and Lin Lingsu will definitely receive night incense.

They transported matches all the way to Bianliang in order to crush Liang Shicheng's match business.

Tong Guan felt that Zong Shu's original intention was to fight King Kang and Zhao Gou.

At that time, Zong Shu handed over the match business to Liang Shicheng, just to curry favor with the royal family and His Majesty.

His Majesty also threw in the silver.

Because of the joining of King Kang and himself, Zong Shu thought of coming to Liang Shicheng's match factory in the whole city.

Tong Guan understood that Zong Shu was the prince's grandmaster and had a natural hatred for Zhao Gou and him.

Especially during the Northern Expedition to the Liao Kingdom, Zong Shu was in danger in the Daimyo's Mansion because of Zhao Gou.

Because of Zhao Gou's compulsion, Zong Shu almost died in the Daimyo's Mansion, if it weren't for his scholar Cao Zongshen, I'm afraid that grass would grow on the grave.

Zong Shu's move today was obviously aimed at him and Zhao Gou.

As for the little silver that His Majesty lost, it didn't matter if Zong Shu made up for it, or even doubled the compensation.

Silver, for Zong Shu, just doesn't matter.

Liang Shicheng's face was already pale, and when he saw the higher and higher matchpiles, he became bloodless.

Because of the expansion of scale and the increase in production, Liang Shicheng has reduced the cost of matches a lot.

Unexpectedly, Zong Shu was even more ruthless, directly free, and forever free.

Liang Shicheng is pierced in the heart, direct free is a knife, forever free, another knife!

"Come and see, come and see, everything is free. You don't have to pay a penny, take it home and play it! ”

There was another trumpet sound from the high platform.

Everything is free, no money is required? Can you take it home?

Everyone crowded towards the high platform.

A Taoist with a horn on the stage said: "Don't worry, everyone has a share, within these seven days, candles and kerosene lamps will be free of charge!"

Candles everyone knows, kerosene lamp, what kind of lamp is this?

The Taoist opened a package and said: "This is a candle produced by Da Song Lighting, everyone who comes has a share, free of charge." ”

As he spoke, the Taoist struck a match and lit a candle.

The crowd suddenly became excited, and Zong Shu actually gave away candles for free!

Compared to matches, candles are not cheap!

During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, the ceremonies given by the imperial court to officials included 400 Wen for each candle and 150 Wen for each candle.

By the time of Huizong, the price of each candle ranged from 150 to 400 Wen, which was equivalent to the income of a Bianliang commoner for two or three days.

Prime Minister Kou Zhun lived a luxurious life, and he didn't light lamps at home, but lit candles, so he was severely criticized by Ouyang Xiu, saying that his life style was bad.

At this moment, Liang Shicheng felt that his heart was dripping blood.

Zong Shu stabbed him a third time in the heart, both sides and back.

With three knives on both sides, Liang Shicheng's heart was pierced thoroughly.
