Zheng shopkeeper said that the charcoal was poisonous, but he didn't expect the Yu shopkeeper not only to admit it, but to bite back and say that the charcoal was poisonous, which made the Zheng shopkeeper almost angry, and then angrily pointed at the Yu shopkeeper and said: "A bunch of nonsense, every winter, rich and noble families use charcoal for heating, if the charcoal is poisonous, wouldn't it have poisoned countless people a long time ago?" ”

"On the seventh day of the winter month last year, a family of five in the south of Chang'an City died of charcoal poisoning, and the next day, someone in Yongningfang was poisoned by charcoal, and a ten-year-old child was in a coma for two days before finally waking up, and on the 13th, a newlywed couple died of charcoal poisoning......

Shopkeeper Yu glanced at Shopkeeper Zheng, and did not answer his words directly, but listed one by one cases of death due to charcoal poisoning, and as a result, every time he said one, Shopkeeper Zheng's face turned a little whiter, and he actually forgot that improper use of charcoal would also make people poisoned by charcoal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

With the example of shopkeeper Yu, shopkeeper Zheng's heart is getting colder and colder, and he suddenly woke up, the other party must have come prepared, otherwise he would not have called out his name just now, and these cases are all filed in the government, and ordinary people can't get it at all, but the shopkeeper Yu in front of him can recite it like a stream, obviously the other party is not only prepared, but also has the support of the official government behind him, and even he can be sure that the other party is coming for him!

I saw that Shopkeeper Yu listed more than a dozen cases of charcoal poisoning in a row, and then looked at the speechless Shopkeeper Zheng and smiled again: "These cases have all been filed in the government, and some things are still very troublesome, many people know it, how does Shopkeeper Zheng explain this?" ”

"I ......" Shopkeeper Zheng found that everyone around him was looking at him, which made him feel hot on his face, and even had an urge to run away, but in the end, he still said hard, "Charcoal is originally very safe, but some people use it improperly, which will cause these accidents." ”

"Hehe, shopkeeper Zheng really dares to say, as far as I know, the entire Chang'an City alone died of carbon poisoning last year, there are enough sixty or seventy people, many of whom are children or young people, so these are all accidents, don't you think this accident is too much?" Shopkeeper Yu stared at Shopkeeper Zheng with blazing eyes and asked.

Seeing that this shopkeeper Yu was so faceless, and every word hit his vital point, this made Shopkeeper Zheng couldn't help but be annoyed, and said without hesitation: "Even if charcoal may cause charcoal poisoning, but your charcoal is more poisonous than ours, if the whole Chang'an uses your charcoal, I'm afraid more people will die!" ”

"Haha~, Zheng shopkeeper is wrong, we sell charcoal and you sell charcoal is not the same, I admit that when using charcoal, if you use it improperly, it may indeed be poisoned by charcoal, in fact, not only charcoal and charcoal, as long as it is burning, it may cause charcoal poisoning, but we have thought of a solution!" Shopkeeper Yu laughed proudly at this time, and when he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately two guys brought out a strange-looking stove.

I saw that the bottom of this stove is similar to an ordinary stove, but there are two more tubes fired with clay on it, and there is an extra lid on the mouth of the stove, I don't know what it is for?

In fact, this stove is the common briquette heating stove in the north in later generations, the exhaust pipe above can exhaust the exhaust gas produced by combustion to the outside, so as to eliminate the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning, Yu shopkeeper has received special training in advance, the effect of this furnace is vivid, he does not know what carbon monoxide is, but he knows that the pipe above can discharge the carbon poison, this simple truth is also easy for everyone to understand.

With the explanation of the shopkeeper Yu, this new type of stove was quickly recognized by everyone, and even someone asked how to sell this stove on the spot, but the shopkeeper Yu explained regretfully: "I'm really sorry, this stove is used for heating in winter, as for the stove used in the kitchen, there is no need for a special exhaust pipe at all, so we have only refined a small number of this new type of stove for the time being, if you want to buy it, you need to wait for a while." ”

Hearing that this kind of stove is not yet available, many people are a little disappointed, taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu shopkeeper once again to the crowd to sell their own coal, but for any new thing, people will have a process from doubt to acceptance, even if the Yu shopkeeper just said that the sky, but it is still a little difficult to let people accept the charcoal at once, so many people show hesitant expressions.

"This honeycomb coal is good, and the price is so cheap, my lord has long said that people are not thrifty, and families are not thrifty, and the shopkeeper Yu will send ten cars to our Guogong Mansion today!" At this time, I saw a middle-aged man in a brocade dress in the crowd and said loudly.

Seeing this person, everyone showed an expression of surprise on their faces, because many people knew this person, he was the purchasing manager of the nearby Ying Guogong Mansion, don't look at Ying Guogong's position It doesn't seem to be very high, but he is the henchman of His Majesty's henchmen, His Majesty's trust in him is only under Pei Lian, so naturally no one dares to offend, and the subordinates in his mansion also have a lot of face outside.

It is said that even if they want to use this honeycomb coal, ordinary people will definitely only buy a little trial first, see the effect and then decide whether to buy it again, but the other party is good, and even bought ten cars without even trying.

Even if the price of coal is cheap, it will cost a lot of money, and these ten trucks of honeycomb coal are almost enough for their Guogong Mansion to use for a winter, which makes many people see that there must be something greasy in it, and some people even speculate that this honeycomb coal business is likely to be related to Yingguo Gongfu, even if it is not their exclusive business, it must also account for a certain part of it.

Thinking of the above, many people showed expressions, since this business is related to the Yingguo Mansion, this face still has to be given, so many people and other stewards in the noble mansion have also stepped forward to buy honeycomb coal, there is no need to buy ten cars at a time like the Yingguo Mansion, as long as you buy back half a car and a car to try the effect, this can be regarded as giving face to the Yingguo Mansion.

Seeing that so many people were vying to buy honeycomb coal, the steward of Yingguo Gong, who was the first to make a move, couldn't help but smile slightly at Shopkeeper Yu, but the two didn't say anything, everything was silent.

The shopkeeper Zheng next to him is also shrewd, and the appearance of the shopkeeper Yu and the two of them looking at each other and smiling did not escape his eyes, which also made his heart skip a beat, this matter against their charcoal shop is likely to involve Ying Guogong, although in the eyes of their Zheng family, Ying Guogong, a new aristocrat is just a group of outburst households, but don't forget, people have real power in their hands, so if the other party really wants to fight with their Zheng family, they also have to deal with it carefully.

Thinking of this, the Zheng shopkeeper could no longer care about the gains and losses in the business, and immediately turned around and went to the store to explain a few words, and then hurriedly ran to the Zheng family's house in Chang'an, this big shopkeeper is responsible for all charcoal-related business, and usually they, the shopkeepers of the Zheng family's charcoal shop, are under his jurisdiction.

However, what the shopkeeper Zheng never expected was that when he came to the big shopkeeper's house, he saw that the shopkeepers of several other charcoal shops had already come, and they all looked sad, which made him feel shocked.

After hearing the report of the Zheng family's shopkeepers, he was also taken aback, and immediately reported to his superiors, and the news was passed on layer by layer, which soon attracted the attention of the core figures of the Zheng family, and they also received some news, not only their Zheng family's charcoal shop was hit, but the entire Chang'an as long as it was a charcoal shop, it was hit by this emerging charcoal.

In addition, what makes these families feel more helpless is that as long as they have used honeycomb coal, they will be full of praise for this new fuel, which is clean and convenient, and the most important thing is that it is cheap, and some people even calculated the account and found that although the price of honeycomb coal is more expensive than the cheapest firewood, a piece of honeycomb coal can make a meal, but firewood of the same price may not be able to make a good meal, so if you calculate, the use of honeycomb coal is more cost-effective than firewood.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that honeycomb coal has swept the whole Chang'an in a very short period of time, this thing can be used for cooking and heating, the price is not high, it is simply the best fuel, and this has also led to two consequences, that is, the sales of firewood and charcoal have plummeted, and some people who make a living by chopping wood or burning charcoal have lost their income all of a sudden, but it doesn't matter, now the shops selling coal are recruiting a large number of people, whether it is carrying coal and transporting coal, or going to beat honeycomb coal, it takes a lot of manpower, so as long as you are willing to change careers, You don't have to worry about starving.

Seeing that the original worthless coal was a hundred times more identical in a short period of time, this made many families very excited, and immediately sent people around to look for coal mines, as long as they had charcoal in their hands, the technology of making honeycomb coal was originally very simple, so they could easily get a piece of the pie.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that as long as there was a coal mine within a radius of hundreds of miles from Chang'an, all of them were bought in advance, and this person was still the princess of Pingyang, which made everyone deflated.

If it were someone else, they might still have a way to take it over, but the other party was Princess Pingyang, who represented the royal family, and if she moved, it would be equivalent to directly confronting Li Yuan, which would outweigh the losses, so for a while, everyone was dead, and they could only watch their charcoal shop decline day by day. And Li Xiu, who was the main reason for all this, was now busy with another thing that he had been waiting for a long time. (To be continued.) )
