Although the method of conspiracy and assassination is the most direct way to solve the problem, it is too simple and crude, and once it is exposed, there will be endless troubles, and Chen Yue is unwilling to use it lightly.

And since Yang Can framed the Chen family because of business competition, then use business means to defeat him. After Chen Yue thought about it, he called Ma Gong and Wu Liang and asked them to go and win over the coal dealers under Yang Can, which was a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle.

Yang Cankai's coal yard mainly supplies residents in the area west of Xuanwumen Avenue in the inner city, relying on dozens of coal dealers under his command to transport briquettes to the homes of people in the inner city, and the coal dealers pull coal from the coal yard and sell it to residents to earn the difference. If all the coal dealers under Yang Can's hands are co-opted, Yang Can's coal yard will no longer be able to export coal. Because the coal sales channels of Yangjia Coal Yard are in the hands of these hawkers, and these hawkers deal directly with familiar residents, even if Yang Can hires a new batch of coal vendors, he will not be able to do much business in the short term because he has no customers.

Now the Chenjia Coal Yard honeycomb coal sales are hot, seriously impacting the traditional briquette market, the customers in the hands of the coal dealers attached to the Yangjia Coal Yard are gradually being eaten up by the sales force of the Chenjia Coal Yard, and the income is decreasing day by day.

Ma Zhu and Wu Liang, as the local snakes in this area, are very familiar with these coal dealers who walk the streets and alleys, and it is most appropriate for them to buy and win them over.

In the next few days, Ma Gong and Wu Liang walked around the streets and alleys separately, and when they saw the coal seller who belonged to Yang Can, they came forward to talk to them, and then pulled them in front of Chen Yue. Chen Yue signed a one-year sales contract with these coal dealers who were willing to switch to him, stipulating that within one year they would have to sell honeycomb coal for themselves and not switch to other coal yards, otherwise they would face high compensation. The contract stipulates that for every 100 honeycomb briquettes sold, a commission of seven copper coins can be paid, but it is less than 30% less than the military households responsible for sales. But in this way, these coal dealers are grateful one by one, because the conditions are much better than those given to them by Yang Can, in the past, they sold coal for Yang Can, and a large cart of thousands of catties of briquettes could earn thirty or forty yuan. They all have their own familiar customers, and the fame of honeycomb coal has risen, it is not difficult for them to sell honeycomb coal at all, and for them, it is no problem to sell hundreds of honeycomb coals every day, so they can make much more money than when they followed Yang Can before.

The power of example is endless, when the first few coal dealers who belonged to Yang Can switched to the Chenjia Coal Yard and made money by selling honeycomb coal, other coal dealers who belonged to Yang Can flocked to the Chenjia Coal Yard and demanded the sale of honeycomb coal. For these people, Chen Yue accepted and signed the same contract one by one. The sales force of the Chenjia coal yard has more than tripled in a few days, reaching more than 50 people, and some of the briquettes made in this are not in supply.

Chen Jianghe is now the head of the Xibian gatekeeper, and there are more than 100 soldiers under his command, and these soldiers are on duty at the Xibian Gate in rotation every three days with the general flag as a unit, so two-thirds of the soldiers do not need to be on duty every day, and they can just come to the coal yard to help.

Coming to the coal yard to earn fifty or sixty copper dollars for a day's briquettes is much better than doing odd jobs, and most of the soldiers are naturally willing to come to work in the coal yard. With the expansion of the scale, the daily production and sales of honeycomb coal in Chenjia Coal Yard reached more than 30,000 pieces, and the daily net profit reached more than 30 taels. So everyone in the Chen family laughed happily every day.

Some people are happy, some people are frustrated, while the Chenjia Coal Yard is making a lot of money, the Yangjia Coal Yard across the city gate, the owner Yang Can sits at the table dejectedly, and even the most beloved chrysanthemum tea has no intention of tasting it.

"Fighting, you know Dou, now it's okay, my brother's life is lost, not to mention, now even the business of the coal yard has plummeted, and I can't live this day." Mrs. Pan sat on the side crying and wiping her tears, which made Yang Can's heart even more irritable.

"Crying, crying, crying, you know crying, does crying work, can you save the coal yard!" couldn't stand the noise of his wife, Yang Can threw his beloved purple teapot on the ground, and looked at his angry husband, Pan's crying was much quieter, and turned into a low sob.

"I can't fight, now even the history of the Song Dynasty is dead, how can our small family be the opponent of those ruffians, close the coal yard and change to other businesses." After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Can sighed and made up his mind.

"Didn't Song Dianshi die in the Qinglou, how could they kill him?" Pan stopped sobbing and stared at her husband with wide eyes.

"What do you know about a woman, the father and son of the Chen family are more vicious than the other, I heard that the little cub surnamed Chen is strong in martial arts, and he won the first warrior in the world, the iron lion, and was appreciated by Xiangcheng Bo, even Shuntianfu spoke for him, Wanping County was helpless to take his family, what is it for such a person to raise a few gangsters, Song Dianshi must have died in their hands!" Yang Can said calmly, and what he said pointed to the truth of the matter.

"Then let's close the coal yard quickly, don't fight with them!" Pan Shi was so frightened that he hurriedly said.

"If you don't close it, you can't do it, this surnamed Chen is too shady, and he has taken away all our coal dealers, and we can't sell a pound of coal in our coal yard!" Yang Can was lying on his back in a chair, his face full of loss.

"The owner is not good," a coal yard guy ran in in a panic and said with a panicked face: "Someone has come to ask for an account." ”

"Accounts? Didn't I tell Lao Zhao that I would repay it after half a month after borrowing his thirty taels of silver, this Lao Zhao, why is there no reputation at all! Yang Can stood up angrily, straightened his clothes and was about to go out to theorize.

Some time ago, in order to bring down the Chen family coal yard, he colluded with Song He, the canonical history of Wanping County, to frame Chen Jianghe, but it always costs money to fight a lawsuit, even if Song He is his distant cousin, in order to deal with the Chen family's father and son, Yang Can spent almost three hundred taels of silver before and after, which made the funds in the coal yard tight, and he planned to make honeycomb coal himself after getting the Chen family's honeycomb coal machine to make a fortune, but he didn't expect that now everything has come to naught.

In order to maintain the business of the coal yard, Yang Can had to borrow thirty taels of silver from the old Song who lent money, which was used to purchase raw coal.

When Yang Can walked into the courtyard, he was surprised to find that it was not Lao Song, who was a loan shark, who rushed into the courtyard to force debts, but a handsome young man, followed by three younger half-sized children.

"You are Chen Yue!" Yang Can guessed the identity of the person who came at once, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

"Boss Yang has good eyesight!" Chen Yue smiled and groaned, not at all looking like he was stirring up the crowd, "Our accounts should be settled." ”

"What do you want? How did the IOU I wrote to Lao Song end up in your hands? When it came to the end, Yang Can also calmed down.

"It's just that he gave him the silver that should be given with interest, and gave him an extra silver tael, so he can get back the silver half a month early, so why not do it." These days, Ma Zhu and Wu Liang have already checked Yang Can, and naturally knew that he borrowed money from Lao Song, who was a loan shark, so Chen Yue found Lao Song and bought the IOU.

"What do you want?" Yang Can asked again, his words were so weak.

"I don't think about it, I'll give you two ways, one is to return the silver on the IOU with interest, and the other is to give me the coal yard if you can't afford it, and then leave Beijing!" Chen Yue said coldly.

"There is still half a month left on the date of repayment on the IOU!" Yang Can struggled weakly, he could sell the coal yard in half a month, so that after repaying the money, there would be dozens of taels of silver left, which was enough for him to change to other businesses, but he also knew that the reason why Chen Yue came here now would definitely not let him go easily.

"You can also choose to return it after this month, but it's hard to say what will happen in this half month, this world is very chaotic, some time ago there was a group of gangsters who came to my coal yard to try to set fire, and even the dignified history of the county government was inexplicably killed in Qinglou, it's really not peaceful." The threatening words came out of his mouth, Chen Yue actually felt so cool, was he born to be a bad person, why was he so familiar with doing bad things? However, this surname Yang is not a good thing, and it is enough to leave him a way to live.

"I ......" Yang Can's face changed violently, he wanted to refuse this barbaric plunder, but he couldn't afford the courage to resist, this young man on the other side really dared to kill!

"Let's go, let's go, give you all the coal yards......" Before Yang Can could answer, his wife Pan ran out of the house crying and fell to her knees in front of Chen Yue.
