"Bang!"

The sound of the husband knocking on the change sounded in the alley, only the figure of the husband in the quiet and dim alley, although the night was dark and gloomy shrouded in the sky, but in the courtyard of the Li family in the alley, in one of the rooms, the light was still reflected outside the paper window, and in the floor, several people sat around the table, as if discussing something.

"If the two of you don't think of a way, sooner or later, one day, Yan Zihao and Yang Ji will also succeed, and sooner or later they will have to close their doors!"

Liu Zhiwen looked at Li Tingyu and Yang Shuren and said, the swaying light of the oil lamp reflected his face, and that face was full of unwillingness.

"As soon as Tang Ziran came up, he didn't follow the rules, and now it's the same, if we don't take action again, can we really think that we are easy to bully?"

With a cigarette pouch in his mouth, Li Tingyu sat down and looked at another letter from the shopkeeper of Liangzi Mine.

That's what he just received, and the content is exactly the same as what he received before, and it's still a sue to him, and from now on, the mine won't send coal to Yanzihao, in other words, the "looks and" of two generations of people have come to an end.

Ever since he read the letter, Yang Shuren has been sitting with his eyes closed.

Liu Zhiwen turned his attention to Wang Decai from time to time for help, he was young and vigorous, and he should have expressed something.

"This business, if it goes on like this, there is really no way to do it!"

Wang Decai took a sentence, since he took over the business on the number, he found that the business is getting more and more difficult day by day, not to mention the previous run on his peers, in the past a while, Huayang Hao has almost forced him to a dead end, although he recently relied on the "honeycomb coal" bought back with five thousand taels of silver, barely survived, but now the sudden crisis is once again in front of them, to be precise, it is in front of everyone's eyes.

After a while, Li Tingyu suddenly opened his eyes, Yang Shuren, Liu Zhiwen, and Wang Decai immediately turned their eyes to him, only to hear him say slowly:

"Virtuous nephew, tell me what the situation is today?"

Wang Decai glanced at Liu Zhiwen and said slowly.

"Uncle Li, sir, in recent years, our coal shops and coal mines are all well water and do not violate river water, in the past, there were rules in the court, not allowed banner people to do business, as for the coal mines in western Beijing, they are not allowed to mine, the common people can not mine, but those princes Baylor can open mines, who in the local area dares to provoke them? For so many years, we are responsible for selling, they are responsible for mining, we didn't move our thoughts to the mine, and the mine also didn't think about selling it ourselves, I don't want to, this time, he Huayang suddenly put his hand on the mine, and suddenly stuck us from the beginning, this is good, if there is no coal, everyone has no business to do, and now the coal in Jingxi has almost made Huayang round. ”

Li Tingyu and Yang Shuren glanced at each other.

Wang Decai continued.

"The most annoying thing is that Huayang went to collect the silver of coal, or took our silver, I asked someone to inquire, 37 mines in western Beijing, they ate almost 30, a total of less than 170,000 taels of silver, we each line to give him a small 140,000 taels, in other words, from the beginning, he Tang Ziran set a trap, first used honeycomb coal to swallow the city, and then took advantage of our urgency, sold honeycomb coal to us, took our silver, went to contact with the prince Baylor behind the mine, and used our silver to buy out the coal on the mine, raise the market price of Jingxi coal, look at it is to be the hegemony of coal, just like that, he forced us step by step to this, we are also like this again and again, again and again, he was led to the set, now although every family can make honeycomb coal, but there is no coal to make, only to get to today's step! ”

Hearing this, Yang Shuren, who was already pressing the fire in his heart, "snapped" his palm and slammed it on the table.

"This son is too deceitful!"

Li Tingyu was still silent for a long time, and after a while, he suddenly said.

"Then what do you mean, are we pooling money to make a hegemony with him Tang Ziran to make Jingxi Coal and push up the price of coal?"

"Brother Yulin, it's not that we can't push the coal price now, it's that he Tang Ziran pushed the coal price out for four dollars of silver!"

Li Tingyu unhurriedly lit the dry tobacco, took a deep breath, looked at Liu Zhiwen and said.

"This time, Huayang has forced everyone to the edge of the cliff, in order to eat the briquette business in the capital, he Tang Ziran will definitely make persistent efforts. To Tang Zi, being a coal bully is secondary, and wanting to eat the briquette business in the capital is his overall situation, so he will spare no effort for this. ”

Now, Li Tingyu has seen clearly, this Tang Ziran takes three steps in one step, from the beginning, he never thought of doing this briquette business with the big guys, what he wanted was to eat alone.

"I'm not afraid to kill him!"

Yang Shuren muttered indignantly on the side.

Liu Zhiwen hurriedly said.

"What Li Dongjia said is that this Tang Ziran just wants to swallow the briquette business in the capital, as for what hegemony, it is just his abacus, in the final analysis, he will always stare at us, if we don't express it now, I'm afraid it will be too late to express it in the future."

"It's too late now, those princes and Baylors are all face-saving people, this Tang Ziran has calculated it from the beginning, as long as those people nod their heads and agree, unless we can add a few taels of silver, otherwise, don't want them to change their words!"

But no, those flag people, maybe they don't have the ability to do it, they all have a good face, and the prince Baylor is even more so, since they have agreed now, no one will take the initiative to break their word and get fat, and slap themselves in the face to let others see the joke.

"It's not what's wrong, those things that have been signed by individuals, even if they don't admit it, the government can't help them, but they want face, who will slap themselves in the face and make others laugh, unless, unless we can increase the price to the point that they don't want face at all!"

Wang Decai's words made Yang Shuren's brows furrow. To that extent, not to mention whether the common people can afford to burn coal, the price of coal has skyrocketed, and there may be some chaos.

"As for it?"

Staring outward for a while, Li Tingyu pondered for a moment, then looked at everyone and said.

"Several, I have a plan, but I haven't thought of it yet......"

When a few of them heard this, they hurried over and stared at him, as we all know, the Li Dong family of Yanzi was a person who had taken fame back then, if it weren't for the great disaster that the family suffered thirty years ago, and his father and brother died in a military accident, now he may not be a big man, he said that there is a way, it must be true.

Taking a hard puff of cigarette, Li Tingyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at a few people and said.

"If you want to break the current predicament, we can't rely on us alone, compared to Tang Ziran, we have a little more silver than him. But it's not enough to have silver, in the final analysis, the most critical place this time is coal, he Tang Ziran can pinch the faces of those people, let's have to find a way, buy, sell, buy, sell, the coal we bought can't be sold, it can't be turned into silver! When the time comes, will those people's faces really be so heavy? ”

Yang Shuren and Liu Zhiwen glanced at each other, then nodded and said:

"Not bad! Buying and selling, buying and selling, if you only buy and don't sell, then it is not a transaction, not only can you not earn back the money, but even the capital will be smashed in it. ”

Looking at Liu Zhiwen, Li Tingyu then asked.

"How long can your coal last now?"

Liu Zhiwen sighed and said,

"Li Dongjia doesn't know, although Tang Ziran sold honeycomb coal to us, but the common people recognize Huayang, and I still have at least 60,000 or 70,000 catties of coal in stock!"

"Sixty or seventy thousand catties ......"

After a moment of silence, Li Tingyu continued.

"It's a lot, let's see how ...... like this"

Saying that, Li Tingyu lowered his voice, explained to a few people, and added a sentence at the end.

"Now the most important thing is still on the coal, we have to stabilize the remaining families, sue them and tell them, we have been together for so many years, we have never suppressed the price of coal, the price of the Li family is low, the price of the Yang family will naturally not be low, but if there is only one Huayang in this forty-nine city, then it will not be guaranteed!"

"Cheng, tomorrow, I will go to Xishan in person, I still don't believe it, he Tang Ziran can cover the sky with one hand!"

Yang Shuren immediately took over the most difficult job, but after working with the mine for so many years, he also made a lot of friends.

"I'll go to Tianjin, see if I can send a few ships of Kaiping coal from Tianjin, although Kaiping coal is smoky, and the freight is quite high, it can be mixed in Jingxi coal, it can always be on top for a while, then the rest will naturally be easy to do."

When the words fell, Li Tingyu's eyes narrowed, he took a puff of cigarette first, and then spit it out.

"Three days later, all our coal banks will put the coal ridge to 11 Wen, and he will add four coins of silver to 1,000 catties of coal, and press it to 11 Wen, I want to see how long he can last!"

After hesitating for a moment, looking at Li Tingyu, Yang Shuren said directly.

"11 Wen, will it be too low, in this case, we can almost wrap the capital!"

"I'm still going to press to 11 Wenna!"

Li Tingyu snorted coldly, looked at a few people and said.

"What? Don't want to move now? If you want to solve the current predicament, you have to temporarily reduce the price, how long can his hundreds of thousands of silver last? A month later, I have to see what he uses to pay for coal, and he can't pay for coal, and when the time comes, don't blame those Baylor lords in the house for repenting......"

Raising a hand to interrupt him, Yang Shuren turned his heart sideways and spoke.

"That's it, I think that's it!"

Wang Decai and Liu Zhiwen glanced at each other, then nodded and said.

"Okay, I think this will work......"

Li Tingyu took a sip of tea, and then looked at the three of them and said slowly.

"It's not enough for the four of us alone, we have to pull everyone else up and tell them, if we can't pass this pass, we will all have to close the door within March!"
