"It's all put into storage, and the first batch of honeycomb coal is a total of 25,350 pieces of honeycomb coal."

The two brothers, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, were also full of energy, and kept counting the honeycomb coal that was put into the warehouse, until the last piece of honeycomb coal was moved into the warehouse, and the two of them also calculated the amount of the first batch of honeycomb coal.

"If a honeycomb coal is sold for 2 yuan, this first batch of honeycomb coal can be sold for 50,000 and 700 yuan, which is equivalent to 33 taels of silver."

"God, it's only 33 taels of silver, and for this honeycomb coal, our two brothers have invested thousands of taels of silver, and now there are only 33 taels of silver a day."

Zhang Yanling is a master of arithmetic, and after carefully calculating, he couldn't help but feel black in front of him.

Originally, I thought that the honeycomb coal business was a very profitable business, but there was news from Xishan Coal Industry that it could earn millions of taels of silver a year.

There will be no falsehood in this news, because they heard their sister from the palace, that is, Empress Zhang, and they have also investigated in advance.

In fact, this honeycomb coal does not need too much cost at all, coal is the same as dirt on the coal mountain, and there is more, just dig it, this honeycomb coal is the palm size of the coal will be sold for 2 yuan, this trade is really profitable.

However, when his two brothers came to do it himself, they bought a coal mountain, invested in the construction of a honeycomb coal workshop, and hired thousands of villagers to do the work, and the honeycomb coal produced in one day was only worth 33 taels of silver.

Immediately, the two brothers couldn't help crying, and this time they really cried.

After the investment of thousands of taels of silver, now it can only be sold for 33 taels of silver a day, you must know that these 33 taels of silver have not yet deducted the cost.

Not to mention anything else, just the thousands of villagers hired, one person needs 10 yuan a day, this day is tens of thousands of yuan, and counting the loss of other things, etc., the 33 taels of silver are estimated to be discounted.

"33 taels of silver a day, even if all of them are profits, there are not 1,000 taels this month, and you can't earn 10,000 taels of silver a year, Liu Jin really didn't lie to us, this is really hard money."

Zhang Heling counted carefully with his fingers, and suddenly remembered what Liu Jin said.

Some time ago, when he asked Liu Jin for the manufacturing method of honeycomb coal, Liu Jin said that the trading of honeycomb coal was hard money, and he didn't believe it at the time, but now he really believes it.

The sale of honeycomb coal is really hard money.

The two brothers were like defeated roosters, and they had hoped that the honeycomb coal trade would make a lot of money, but now they were like deflated balloons, and the whole person was deflated and listless.

The two brothers are also uncles of the country, relatives of the emperor, and titles, and they also have a lot of land under their names, plus the two brothers have always been brazen, as long as it is a profitable business, they will try their best to intervene.

To tell the truth, this year's income is still quite good, tens of thousands of taels of silver a year is still there, for the trading of honeycomb coal, I suddenly feel tasteless, it is a pity to abandon it.

"Go back to the capital, I haven't been looking for Sister for a long time."

Zhang Yanling was listless, he didn't have the heart to continue to stay here, originally in order to earn money, whether he was hungry or cold, he didn't care, he was very energetic.

I get up very early every day, constantly patrol the various workshop areas, run up and down the hills, and my shoes are worn out several times these days.

Now, he doesn't have any thoughts, he just wants to go back to Beijing, go to the palace to find his sister for a meal, have a good meal, and then sleep beautifully.

"What are you looking for, sister, don't sell these tens of thousands of honeycomb coal, if you don't sell these dozens of taels of silver, there will be no more than a day, no matter what, there are 33 taels of silver a day, and you can earn thousands of taels of silver in a year, which is also an important source."

Zhang Heling kicked his younger brother, although he was very disappointed in his heart, but after doing the math, the profit was actually not bad, but it was far less than he originally expected.

This is the so-called greater expectations, the greater the disappointment, originally wanted to make a lot of money, but now can only make a little money, the gap is too big.

If they didn't say that they could make a lot of money at the beginning, they would never let go of the trade of making thousands of taels of silver this year.

"Yes, yes, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are also meat."

When Zhang Yanling heard this, he also nodded again and again, and then said to his subordinates: "Dog, what are you still doing, work, hurry up and load the truck, and transport these honeycomb coals to the capital to sell." ”

"Be careful with me, this honeycomb coal is 2 cents, and I will deduct your wages if it is broken."

……

It was not only the Zhang brothers who found out that the honeycomb coal did not make money as expected, but also several Guogong of the Sangong Coal Industry, the two brothers of the Zhou Coal Industry, and some other people who mined honeycomb coal.

Everyone's speed of action is about the same, and the first batch of honeycomb coal is made in a few days before and after, and as soon as this honeycomb coal comes out, everyone will naturally calculate an economic account.

In this calculation, almost everyone involved was similar to the Zhang brothers, and they were extremely disappointed in their hearts, and they heard the news that the trading of honeycomb coal could earn millions of taels of silver a year.

And the reality is that even if the manpower hired by himself is similar to that of Xishan Coal Industry, no matter how you calculate it, this year is a matter of earning 10,000 pieces of silver, and I really don't know how the millions of taels of silver came from.

Chongnanfang in the east of the Beijing City, the store of Zhang's Coal Industry was specially selected opposite Xishan Coal Industry.

"Honeycomb coal, honeycomb coal, Zhang's coal industry's honeycomb coal~ everyone come and buy, everyone come and buy it~"

As soon as Zhang's Coal opened here, it immediately began to beat gongs and drums, and the brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling specially asked a few guys to beat gongs and drums here at the door of their stores to attract customers to come and buy honeycomb coal.

With the sound of gongs and drums, it soon attracted a lot of customers to buy honeycomb coal, and the first batch of more than 20,000 fast honeycomb coal was sold out in less than an hour.

"Brother, our honeycomb coal is all sold out, and it's out of stock~"

The business of honeycomb coal was very hot, and it was sold out quickly, and Zhang Yanling's face finally showed a smile, and he found Zhang Heling and said: "We killed a ** today, we haven't eaten chicken for a long time." ”

"No, I always feel that something is wrong~"

Zhang Heling did not answer Zhang Yanling's words, he had actually been staring at the business of Xishan Coal Industry's coal store, and soon he found a big problem.
