Astonished!

When the old and young masters in the capital were still there in amazement that a train would transport 120,000 catties of coal to the capital, before they came to their senses, another train came, and then another train.

In the following day and night, ten trains carried as much as 1.2 million catties of coal into the capital.

For a moment, the entire capital was stunned.

Even on the second day, from the Lugou River to the capital, along both sides of the fast road, there were crowds of onlookers, and when people watched the "train" pulled by twelve horses coming, they would be amazed by its spectacular scene.

Looking at that appearance, it seems that there is not much difference from the appearance of people in another time and space, when people saw steam locomotives hundreds of years later, but unlike at that time, people regarded foreign things such as trains and railways as monsters, and now when people look at the train, their expressions are full of curiosity.

"I don't know, what it's like to sit in this car."

I don't know how many people have such a thought in their hearts, at least in a short period of time, this fast road has aroused everyone's interest, and in the "Morning News", it is a series of news to introduce people to the "coal fast road", for a time, this can transport millions of catties every day, or even tens of millions of catties of fast road, attracting everyone's attention.

Correspondingly, the price of coal, which had been rising for more than half a year, finally fell with the arrival of millions of catties of coal. This also made the people of the capital breathe a sigh of relief, after all, for them, this is a real benefit.

When the common people were benefited, Zhu Yijun, who was in the deep palace, also learned the news from the newspaper, looking at the report in the newspaper, he was even more overjoyed, and counted in his heart how much silver he earned that day.

Thinking that he had sold thousands of taels of coal on this day, Zhu Yijun was even a little excited and couldn't sleep, and in the end he even specially asked what was used for heating in this palace, and when he learned that charcoal was still used in the palace, he thought for a while, and then said to Feng Bao.

"Feng Daban, charcoal firewood is too expensive, I read the newspaper said that the cheapest load of charcoal is three and a half dollars of silver, how much charcoal is used in the palace a year, at least there must be tens of thousands of quintals, or even hundreds of thousands of quintals, Mr. Zhang has always said that the palace should be thrifty, in this case, I think it is better to use briquettes in this palace, if it is calculated according to 100,000 quintals of charcoal a year, this palace can save 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver a year alone, what do you think?"

The emperor's sudden question made Feng Bao stunned, for a while he didn't even know how to answer, as the chief eunuch, he naturally didn't have to care about such a trivial matter, but he knew that the charcoal in the palace was the wealth of many eunuchs, if it was cut off like this...... When the time comes, I don't know how many people will be jealous.

Thinking about it, Feng Bao immediately spoke.

"Emperor, it's better not to bother the emperor for such a trivial matter."

What does it mean not to bother, it is clear that he does not agree, listening to Zhu Yijun unpleasantly.

"What does it mean not to bother, is it possible that I can't even ask what is burned in the palace and what is used? Mr. Zhang said that he should be thrifty, and I did things according to Mr. Zhang's intentions, so I didn't have to bother, I thought that this matter would be done like this, Feng Daban, this matter will be handled by you. ”

Although he was unhappy, when he said this, Zhu Yijun was still a little worried in his heart, and he even forced himself not to go to see Feng Bao, God knows that his heart was frightened, and even he had already thought about it, if Feng Daban objected, he would ...... It's not going to stick.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Zhu Yijun heard Feng Bao say.

"The old slave obeys."

In the face of the emperor's displeasure, even in the palace, Feng Bao can only choose to comply, after all, he still knows the humility, but his heart is extremely dissatisfied, he feels that the emperor is deliberately embarrassing him, and even deliberately raised Zhang Juzheng to embarrass him. However, even if he was dissatisfied, in the face of His Majesty's will, Feng Bao could only obey it.

Feng Bao's concession made Zhu Yijun's mood immediately better, and even in the next two days, his heart was still happy, so that until he saw Shi Yiwen, he still said quite proudly.

"Zhiyuan, you see, how I did this, this is a big business of millions of catties of coal, as soon as I come forward, the surname Feng will only obey the order."

Looking at Zhu Yijun's smug appearance, Shi Yiwen secretly sighed in his heart.

It seems that Zhu Yijun has been dissatisfied with Feng Bao for a long time, and it is not surprising to think about it, after all, no one wants to have an eyeliner by his side to tell others about his every move, especially Feng Bao also reported to Zhang Juzheng, which made Zhu Yijun, who was repeatedly reprimanded by Zhang Juzheng for some of his behaviors, naturally become hostile to him.

"Hey, this matter bothered you, in fact, you don't have to be involved in a small matter like this."

Shi Yiwen's answer made Zhu Yijun, who was originally eating ice cream, stunned, and he asked with some confusion.

"It seems that you are not very happy, why am you unhappy that I have pulled such a large amount of business for the company?"

"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I thought, such a trivial thing is not something you should worry about."

Shi Yiwen's casual answer made Zhu Yijun immediately justify.

"How can this be a trifle? Zhiyuan, I am also a partner in the company, of course I have to think about the interests of the company. ”

"That's true, but as a superior person, we must focus on the overall situation, not trivial affairs, this million catties of coal seems to be a big business, but in fact it is a business of tens of thousands of taels. I can't afford you to bother with this, just like right now, we have an iron factory, a yarn factory, an iron factory, a newspaper, a bookstore, a bank, a carriage and horse dealership, a road mine, and even this restaurant. ”

Looking at Zhu Yijun, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"So, I've always only asked about the big picture, and I rarely ask about how they operate and how they compete."

Shi Yiwen's answer made Zhu Yijun purse his lips a little helplessly and said casually.

"I know what you're saying, but I ...... Also for the company. ”

"I know,"

Nodding, seeing that Zhu Yijun was a little unhappy and was "fighting" with ice cream in a dull manner, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"Mingzhi, there is something very happy recently, do you remember the yarn factory we set up earlier?"
