When the ministers heard that Qin Ming still had nine coal houses, they were very excited at first, but they always felt that something was wrong.

Thinking about it carefully, this one was obtained by Dali Siqing, and he could go to invite merit, what is the use of the other nine?

So, Zuo Xiang said: "It doesn't seem to make much sense to get what you have left." ”

Qin Ming shook his head: "You can't say that, they are all coal houses, and they all sell coal, how is it different?" Even if it's beneficial, it's not going to be someone else's own, right? ”

The so-called no profit can't afford to be early, Qin Ming guessed that these people must have benefits to buy coal houses, since this is the case, why didn't Qin Ming pit them?

And hearing Qin Ming's words, all the adults thought in their hearts, it makes sense, the credit can't be won by Dali Siqing alone.

In any case, they will all have coal houses at that time, even if they can't all be added to the ranks, but they can share the benefits together.

So, Zuo Xiang and Taibao almost immediately decided: "Buy it!" ”

Qin Ming smiled, so in the next step, he collected money from ten officials and subleased ten coal house storefronts to them, including the coal inside.

But the employees didn't count, and the employees all left with Qin Ming.

The ten officials each got a coal house, and looking at the thousands of catties of coal left in the room, the snot bubbles of laughter were about to come out.

And after Qin Ming returned to Qin's Mansion with the employees, he asked the housekeeper:

"Ten shops, how much coal is left?"

The housekeeper said, "It adds up to about 100,000 catties." ”

Qin Ming laughed and said: "100,000 catties of coal are worth 500 taels of silver, counting the rent, at most 600 taels of silver, and when you sell it, you sell it for 100,000 taels of silver, and you make a net profit of 99,400 taels, my God, these fools." ”

Although he didn't know why these ministers wanted a coal house, Qin Ming knew that they had lost to his grandmother's house.

"Steward, take out a thousand taels of silver, go and rent me a hundred shops, I will recruit people, and start mining coal in large quantities. But remember, these people must live in the coal mine, and no one can leak information and location about the mine. ”

Qin Ming arranged that no matter what, the current coal mine is one of his hole cards, and he must grasp it.

As for the coal house, it is nothing, and it can be reopened in a different place at any time!

The housekeeper took the silver to do it, and in one afternoon, there were 100 more Qin family coal houses in the imperial capital.

The same scale as the Qin Family Library.

The difference is that the library only has a total of tens of thousands of books every day, but the coal house ships hundreds of thousands of catties every day.

Therefore, the coal house has great requirements for store space!

Just as Qin Ming was expanding the coal house, the ten big officials were proudly counting the numbers in their respective coal houses at the moment.

In the end, they all counted, basically about 10,000 catties.

The smiles on their faces became brighter and brighter, and at this moment, Zuo Xiang was asking his subordinates:

"These coals, a pound is five copper plates? So how much is it worth to do this now? ”

The subordinate replied: "Fifty taels!" ”

"Fifty taels? But it's okay...... Wait a minute...... I always feel like something is wrong......"

"My lord, just 10,000 taels of coal, I can buy it in one day......" his subordinates reminded.

The prime minister was stunned: "Yes, I should have to wait until the source of goods, that is, ...... Colliery? ”

"Yes, my lord, we have only bought the store now, and the things in the store are worth tens of taels ......," said the subordinate.

In an instant, Zuo Xiang's face sank.

He knew that something was wrong, and the first thing he thought about was to buy a coal house, so that there could be a steady stream of coal.

But now I have reacted, and I still haven't got the supply, what's the use of a store in this area?

Thinking of this, Zuo Xiang understood why Qin Ming sold the store so happily, a shop worth dozens of taels of silver was sold by him for 10,000 taels, and the fool didn't sell it.

"Abominable Qin Ming, damn it, your true appearance has been fooled again, Qin Ming, you dog thief......"

At the same time, people from the other nine stores also shouted: "Qin Ming, you dog thief......"

……

Qin Ming, who was having dinner: "Ah~ Who scolded me?" ”

……

The next day, in the palace hall, the left ministers turned pale.

When the emperor came, he asked, "Prime Minister Zuo, have you ever found a source of coal?" ”

"Eh~ Your Majesty, the minister opened a coal house, but what ...... There are only 10,000 catties of coal, which is in short supply! The prime minister said.

The emperor frowned: "Ten thousand taels of coal? This will not solve the problem. ”

Dali Siqing spoke: "The ministers also opened a coal house, but the source of coal is still not ......."

The emperor took a deep breath: "It seems that this problem still can't be solved!" ”

At this moment, Taichang Siqing suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, it can actually be solved, but Your Majesty needs to give the minister a holy decree." The content states that all persons shall not hinder the ministers from looking for coal mines. Otherwise, there will be no mercy! ”

Everyone else was stunned, what is Taichang Siqing doing? Use the Holy Decree to oppose Qin Ming?

The emperor also looked at Taichang Siqing and said, "Why is your face swollen?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not in the way, it's just that someone was injured during the process of asking for coal, so the minister asked for the holy decree!"

Taichang Siqing said that his trick was very ruthless, and ordinary people didn't dare to use it, because it meant fighting Qin Ming to the end.

Qin Ming has left a shadow on many people, so normally, no one wants to offend Qin Ming.

But Taichang Siqing didn't care about these anymore, he just wanted to kill Qin Ming to avenge being beaten in public.

This time, either glory and wealth, or the abyss, he has to give it a try!

The emperor thought for a moment when he heard this, and said: "The matter of coal is a matter of life and death for hundreds of people, not personal interests. Therefore, I will give you this holy decree, and you will take the holy decree and go to find a source of coal to keep the people warm. ”

Taichang Siqing knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty......"

With this holy decree, he didn't believe that he couldn't bring down Qin Ming.

And in this process, Zuo Xiang and Dali Siqing did not speak.

They all thought in their hearts, you go to fight, and if you win, we will take advantage of the fisherman, and if you lose, it doesn't matter to us......

……

So, Taichang Siqing got the holy decree.

A horse keeper also wants to be in a high position, and he also wants to fight with Qin Ming!

So, the next day, the horse breeder took his subordinates and the holy decree, and went to Qin Ming's mansion proudly.

Qin Ming was planning the expansion of the coal mine at that time, so he heard the housekeeper say: "My lord, Taichang Siqing is here with a holy decree. ”

Qin Ming sneered: "It seems that the appearance of coal is really eye-catching." ”

After thinking about it, Qin Ming said, "Tell him that I'm not there!" ”

"Good!"

The housekeeper went, and came back after a while, and said, "Childe, I said it, but he had to ask me where you were, and I said I didn't know, and that guy was arrogant and rampant, and said that he was going to confiscate our newly opened coal house." ”。

Qin Ming's eyes were cold: "A horse breeder dares to provoke Lao Tzu?" Do you really think that I resigned from the official position, so I can't be bullied? ”

As he spoke, he got up slowly and said, "Since this is the case, I will let you understand that Qin Ming, who has resigned from the official, you can't afford to provoke him!" ”
