Volume 2 Cangyan Black Cloud Chapter 092 Burning charcoal for the country

Of course, after the vast number of patriotic youths really handed over the "swallow goods" to the Tianwei Army, how could Du Qianyun really destroy them for free, it was all money! What Du Qianyun had to do was to burn a handful of straw so that the patriotic youth would be all right when they saw the "smoke of gunpowder on the Baqiao." These "swallow goods" naturally became Du Qianyun's bag.

Speaking of which, some officials will say that the "swallow goods" are indeed very valuable, especially Liaodong jade, which is very expensive. But after all, the number is limited, and Du Qianyun is so enthusiastic that there is not much oil and water in hand.

The question asked by the magistrate was very good, but the magistrate did not know anything. In fact, there is no such thing as "pure swallow goods" in this world. For example, the Liaodong jade, the origin is in Liaodong, which is the territory of An Lushan, which looks like "swallow goods", the iron tools that can mine jade, the stove that polishes jade, are either the products in the Chang'an iron industry, or the products of Hedong, there are no iron tools, and the Liaodong jade that mines a ghost, even the craftsmen who process jade, that is also a master from the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, in fact, there is no real "swallow goods" to resist. However, if you think about this question the other way around, you will find that everything in the world is "swallow goods", you wear clothes with Liaodong cotton, Daming Palace painted a carved beam with Liaodong wood, Chang'an city wall rice soup with Liaodong glutinous rice, you drink the decoction with Liaodong ginseng as a medicine primer, your mount has eaten sorghum from Liaodong, and the scissors you use are forged from Liaodong coal...... And so on and so forth. In other words, if you want to find the shadow of "swallow goods" from the world's goods, it is as easy as a finger!

According to this logic, once a patriotic young man passes by Baqiao, Du Qianyun can strip him from beginning to end and let him walk into Chang'an with his bare buttocks, and he will raise his proud head because he resisted the "swallow goods"!

From this point of view, Du Qianyun's project of "boycotting swallow goods" is a big business with a lot of profits, and it is a big game of chess! If this plan is successful, Du Qianyun only needs to stay in Baqiao for ten days, and he will be able to become rich and rival the country.

However, unexpectedly, Du Gan was transported to Ba, and only then did he find that the ideal was very plump and the reality was very skinny!

But when I saw a snowfield on the Ba, there was no trace, and there was no half of a patriotic youth.

In the past, in peacetime, there were naturally pedestrians and merchants on this hill, but now it is a war, and the traffic in the east-west direction has long been blocked, even the residents near Chang'an are hiding at home, and no one runs out for no reason to beg for bad luck. Therefore, the current Ba Shang is very depressed, standing on the Ba Bridge, there is no half of the figure. Only the crow is noisy at the bridge, in fact, the crow has eaten the rice produced in Liaodong, and only then has grown a shiny and slippery feather, according to the reason, it is also a "swallow goods", but it is too difficult to call on the crows to boycott the swallow goods.

The two were worried, but when they saw that on both sides of the Bahe River, willows were planted all over the place, Du Qianyun frowned, and laughed: "Yes, yes!" ”

"General Du, nothing?" Yang San stood on tiptoe, his neck stretched out like a swan, and he didn't see half a figure.

"Don't you see, the willows on both sides of the Baqiao are still clinging, and the rain and snow are falling?"

"General Du is really elegant, and he is humble and admired." Yang San praised: "I understand that General Du means that he wants to ban this willow-colored circle and open it up into a five-A-level scenic tourist area, attract investment, and we will sell tickets and make a fortune." This plan is really wonderful, let's do it! ”

"General Yang is bad!" Du Qianyun frowned: "Opening up the tourism industry, in the long run, is indeed a way out, but far water can't quench the thirst of the near!" Don't you see, now there are few pedestrians on the Ba, even if it is a stunning beauty, no one comes to watch, where are these tickets sold! ”

"What does General Nadu mean?"

"It doesn't matter if the willow color is beautiful or not. The key is that if the cold land is frozen today, the dripping water in Chang'an City turns into ice, and now, because of the An Lushan rebellion, the charcoal sellers in Zhongnan Mountain are afraid of things, and they dare not go into the city to sell carbon. We mobilized the soldiers of the Tianwei Army to work together to open a kiln to burn charcoal and sell it to large households in Chang'an City, so that they can be self-reliant and have enough food and clothing! ”

Yang San praised: "Brilliant plan! Coup! Nowadays, charcoal is in short supply in the Chang'an market, and a pound of charcoal is worth one or two silver! The soldiers of my Tianwei Army are 10,000 elite soldiers, who can not only burn charcoal, but also prohibit Zhongnan Mountain from selling charcoal to enter the city and disturb the market! In this way, our Tianwei Army can monopolize the charcoal market in Chang'an, and when the time comes, we can set the price of charcoal at ten taels of silver per catty......"

"Nonsense!" Du Qianyun reprimanded: "My Tianwei soldiers are loyal and brave soldiers, and now that the national disaster is at the head, how can we monopolize the market and make the country rich!" Of course, the behavior of selling charcoal in Zhongnan Mountain to disrupt the market must be effectively stopped! Banning it from entering the market is also the demand of the people, and we must comply with the will of the people! Ten taels of silver a catty, so expensive, how can the people afford to burn it! That's too much! Our charcoal, I think it can be set at nine taels and nine dollars of silver, which is more suitable, so that the people can also accept it, and my Tianwei army also has a small profit, after all, everyone works for the country, and it is also very hard, I think, the people can understand! ”

"Understood, of course understood!" Yang San praised: "However, there are still some worries about the humble position. ”

"Worried about what?"

"Opening a kiln to burn charcoal, after all, is risky, if the kiln collapses and a soldier dies, I am afraid it is not easy to explain to the imperial court. After all, we are soldiers, and if we die on the battlefield, we are loyal to the country, and if we die in the kiln, how can we explain it? ”

"This, you can rest assured, people will eventually die, as a pure person, a person who has detached from low-level interests, died on the battlefield or died in the kiln, they are all loyal to the court, and they are as heavy as Mount Tai. When the time comes, let's hold a memorial service and commemorate it, just do it, I think, the soldiers will be able to understand! ”

"General Yang is high! Humble admiration is so much that you can throw yourself to the ground! Yang Sanwei sighed: "However, there are still some worries about the lowly position. ”

"Can you fucking finish all at once!" Du Qianyun became impatient.

"I Tianwei army 10,000 soldiers open a kiln to burn charcoal, must be large-scale production, the technology of Zhongnanshan charcoal burning, only suitable for small family workshops, not suitable for large-scale industry, and suitable for large-scale production, only the technology of Liaodong, high efficiency and low energy, very economical. We need to buy this technology from the people of Liaodong. It's just that if Liaodong technology is used, the charcoal burned out will become a 'swallow goods', and I am afraid that the patriotic young people in Chang'an City will consciously boycott it, and this charcoal will not be sold! ”

Du Qianyun laughed: "Then you can rest assured." They resist because they haven't been frozen yet, and when they freeze into popsicles, not to mention 'swallow goods', even the charcoal burned by the Tubo people, who are my feud in the Tang Dynasty, they will also rush to buy it. ”

"General Du, Takami!"

The two of them had made up their minds, and immediately returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, convened the generals, and discussed opening the kiln to burn charcoal. The generals were greatly surprised, 10,000 Tianwei army Tun Bing, not to practice, but to burn charcoal, from ancient times to the present, there is no precedent, however, Yang San said well, Zhuge Liang also did Tuntian's work, although charcoal burning is not Tuntian, in fact, it is also in the same vein, all looking for extra money, speaking of which, Du Qianyun can also be regarded as creatively carrying forward Zhuge Liang's art of war.

When the generals heard this, they also felt reasonable. Anyway, everyone earns money, and they don't suffer losses.

Therefore, the generals praised Du Qianyun as the reincarnation of Zhuge one after another, elated, and emotional, and greeted his subordinates one after another, chopping wood and digging kilns.

The kiln factory was opened, and the charcoal was burned out and transported to Chang'an City, at first, because of the use of Liaodong technology, it was really boycotted by the patriotic youth of Chang'an. Many patriotic young people came to the shop, formed a human wall, chanted patriotic slogans, and called on the people of Chang'an to refuse to buy charcoal for Yandi technology to burn paper, that is, "Yanxiang charcoal". For three days, Tianwei Army's charcoal was not sold.

However, Du Qianyun was not in a hurry at all, and within a few days, the Chang'an city was cold and frozen, dripping into ice, and people couldn't bear it anymore, so they broke through the wall of patriotic youth, went straight to the shop, and competed to buy. Tianwei Army's charcoal sells very well. Although the price of charcoal is extremely expensive, it is in short supply. Within a few days, he made millions of silver dollars.

The soldiers of the Tianwei Army were all overjoyed. Waiting for Du Ganyun to divide the silver. But waiting left and right, I saw that the silver of the white flowers flowed into General Du's big tent of the Chinese army, but I didn't see a single cent of silver flowing out of the big tent!

Everyone was puzzled, and Du Qianyun suddenly announced: When the country is in danger, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and all the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty should do their meager efforts for the Tang Dynasty! If you have money, you have the power to contribute! The soldiers of Tongguan are contributing to the country, so if the soldiers can't be on the front line, they should contribute money to the country! Therefore, on behalf of all the officers and men of the Tianwei Army, General Du Qianyun has donated all the income from chopping wood and charcoal to the emperor! The emperor was grateful for the loyalty of all the soldiers, and specially awarded each soldier a certificate of "loyalty to the country".

So, the soldiers were busy for a while, but they didn't see a penny, and they only got a certificate.

In spite of this, there are still a lot of Tianwei soldiers and generals moved to cry bitterly, the certificate of merit, enshrined, worship in the morning and evening, carefully copy, the enthusiasm for opening the kiln and chopping wood is even higher, all day in the kiln "for the country to burn charcoal", not a penny to see, but it feels extremely glorious, there are more officers and soldiers who go into the city to sell charcoal, every day pull the cart to transport carbon into Chang'an City, more and more arrogant, the slightest people in the way, is righteous words, denounced as a traitor, a whip whipped past.
