Chapter 6: Honeycomb coal goes on sale

"Yes!"

"Master Zhu, the dream of the little nephew is to have tens of millions of mansions, and the poor people in the world are happy."

Li Zhaotong replied impassionedly.

"Okay, I hope you can do it one day, Nishiyama, I gave it!"

Emperor Hongzhi is not a faint monarch, he can feel that Li Zhaotong lied in some places, but he also felt that Li Zhaotong was not lying when he said his dream.

In addition, Li Zhaotong's body is incompatible with this era, very different, especially like the temperament of a high-ranking child, the superstitious Emperor Hongzhi, decided to gamble!

So, he proudly agreed.

……

After Emperor Hongji promised to come down, things would be easy.

Li Zhaotong has no money?

It doesn't matter, Li Dongyang has it! Even if Li Dongyang can't come up with 10,000 taels of silver, Li Zhao and his wife Zhu will definitely be able to take it.

After all, Zhu is the daughter of the late Chengguo Duke Zhu Yi, and when Zhu Yi marries her daughter, the dowry cannot be given poorly.

Li Zhaotong is nobody?

If no one is there, they will recruit it!

With money, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit people?

It's really not good, let Deng Jian, a dog with rough skin and thick meat, go! He's fat anyway!

Li Zhaotong is incompetent?

There's a system, brother!

……

Soon, the money was in place, and the people were partly in place, and the charcoal shop in the corridor outside Chongwenmen was soon converted into a honeycomb coal monopoly, and a grass shed was also erected on the Xishan side, which was mining and producing.

So as long as the honeycomb coal and honeycomb coal stove are made in a batch and sent here, they can be sold.

Of course, before the sale, there is still a wave of publicity to warm up.

This is the best thing to do!

Because long before Li Zhaotong did something, he did propaganda-related work.

Yes! He did!

Otherwise, how do you think Li Chuanfu, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, got the news quickly and passed it on to Li Dongyang?

Otherwise, how do you think the old man asked by Emperor Zhi knew that Li Zhaotong was the son of Li Gelao?

This is all Li Zhaotong took the initiative to let out the wind!

In order to do things, attract attention, and make gimmicks, in order to publicize.

Therefore, Li Zhaotong has been doing it for a long time, and now the capital knows that there are many people who have burned books to open up honeycomb coal!

……

In fact, Li Zhaotong originally had a plan, that is, to burn books and be discovered by Li Dongyang, and then he was scolded first, and then he tried to persuade Li Dongyang through himself or by taking the route of his wife, explaining the stakes of honeycomb coal, and instigating him to discuss with Emperor Hongzhi, while he went to buy coal in the hands of residents in the capital, make honeycomb coal, and continue his life.

Plans can't keep up with the changes these days, but it's clear that they're getting better.

Honeycomb coal and honeycomb coal furnace were successfully developed, and the system was rewarded with a life span of 15 days.

Fifteen days plus nearly thirty hours, that is, nearly eighteen days, enough to set up a grass platform team!

……

"Young master, can this honeycomb coal, sell it for two cents a piece, can it really make money? Let's raise the price! ”

Deng Jian has been very heartbroken recently, because he found that his second young master has the potential to be a loser!

The second young master, he was very kind, provided food and lodging, and recruited those displaced people outside the city to dig coal in Xishan to make honeycomb coal.

He also gave the homeless people white rice and white noodles for every meal, and there was meat every once in a while.

This is a good life that the landlord and the old money do not necessarily have!

It's just excessive!

But the second young master gave it!

However, the second young master's excesses are more than that!

He even paid wages to the homeless, and the mode of paying wages was the piecework wage created by the second young master!

Deng Jian carefully calculated in private, if he went to Xishan to dig coal, as long as he worked hard, he could earn at least one or two silver a month!

At least a tael of silver!

A henchman like him is a young master, and the monthly case is less than two taels of silver!

With such a ruined young master, Deng Jian, who advocates frugality, was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

Therefore, he deeply doubted that honeycomb coal for two pennies a piece could not make money!

This time, Li Mansion is afraid that it will be a disaster!

Deng Jian knew very well that once the Li Mansion suffered, a domestic servant like him would not be happy, so he decided to dare to persuade the young master to increase the price of honeycomb coal.

"Shut up! The price of two pennies and a piece of honeycomb coal is set by His Majesty, can you not obey the decree if you want to resist it? ”

Li Zhaotong is still very nervous at the moment, he is not worried that honeycomb coal will not make money, but worried about what if honeycomb coal is not popular.

Once he is not popular, his life will not be renewed.

It's a horrible thing!

Therefore, even if Li Zhaotong is full of confidence, when it comes to the critical time to start selling, he is still nervous!

Therefore, Deng Jian's admonishment to him was completely looking for scolding, so that Li Zhaotong used him as an outlet for negative emotions.

"Well, less ......"

"Shut up! It's going to go on sale, be serious! ”

“……”

……

Blind is not a blind man, he just has poor eyesight and often bumps and bumps, so he is called blind by others.

In normal times, the blind man set up a stall in Chongbeifang, next to the outer street of Chongwenmen, to sell leek baked cakes, and he has been doing this small business for nearly 30 years.

In the past thirty years, he has witnessed the ups and downs of the capital, and he is fortunate to witness the holy face of Emperor Chenghua, but this is just a conversation he occasionally brags about with others.

He didn't really care.

What the blind child cares about most is his own life and his own business.

"Hey! Did you hear that? There is a new shop on Chongwenmen Outer Street today. ”

"I've heard that it's said to be selling honeycomb coal."

"Yes, yes! It's the honeycomb coal monopoly, and the flag says it! It is said that this shop was opened by the current Shengshang and Li Gelao. ”

"Really? Isn't that a competition with the people? ”

"competing with the people, have you ever heard of honeycomb coal before? Do you know what honeycomb coal looks like? I don't know! This honeycomb coal is a new thing, and a new thing is not a competition with the people. ”

"That's right!"

"Two guest officers, what the hell is this honeycomb coal?"

The blind man listened to the two guest officers standing in front of his stall eating the leek baked cakes he bought from him, and talking about what honeycomb coal mentioned, he didn't know what honeycomb coal was, but he caught the key word - coal!

Blind children usually make leek baked cakes, but also burn some coal, although this coal is not flammable, and poisonous, but this capital, it is not easy to live!

Firewood and charcoal became more and more expensive, and in order to save costs, he had to burn coal.

Now when he heard these two scholars talk about honeycomb coal, he had a strong premonition that this honeycomb coal was fuel and was beneficial to him, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Honeycomb coal, ah......!"

The two guest officers looked at each other, and then began to tell the blind what they had heard.

After a while, the blind man understood.

This honeycomb coal is said to be Li Ge Lao's second son who has just recovered from a serious illness, burned books to celebrate, and then burned the pages of the books that cannot be burned auspicious, so he dedicated it to His Majesty.

Your Majesty saw that this auspicious rui actually described in detail the production method of honeycomb coal, which is beneficial to both the country and the people, so His Majesty did not hesitate to launch it with Li Ge Lao to benefit the people's livelihood.

This honeycomb coal is a good thing, His Majesty also set its price very low, two pennies a piece, honeycomb coal is also very resistant to burning, five pieces of honeycomb coal can be burned for a day, can be used to boil water for cooking and heating!

……

After listening, the blind man was excited!

Isn't this the perfect fuel he needs for his blindness?

"Wife, you look at the stall, I'll buy honeycomb coal!"

The blind man didn't say a word, and ran to the corridor room on the street outside Chongwen Gate.
