Talking about business is a technical job, and money has to be earned, and safety has to be considered.

In case the King of Wei sent someone to make a move, he would lose his life, and he would not be afraid to pass on the risk, the King of Wei would not be able to make a move, and no one would dare to touch the coal of the King of Wei.

King Wei's face sank when he heard the price, money is a trivial matter, and he lost all his face, but when he thought that there was no coal burning stove, the cost could not be afforded, and the consequences of not completing the task were very serious, so he suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Okay...... It's so decided, please pull it directly to the king's manor, it's not early, the king will go back first. ”

Anyway, he was already an enemy, Qin Huaidao didn't care about being hated by King Wei, and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, King Wei, when the silver arrives, you will pull it over, and I guarantee that there is no problem." ”

"The silver will be pulled over tomorrow, I hope Lord Qin will be true to his word, starting tomorrow, and two thousand carts must be pulled within five days." The King of Wei walked away without looking back.

"Congratulations to King Wei, remember to pull silver tomorrow, preferably copper coins."

King Wei hurriedly got into the carriage and said with a gloomy face: "Go home!" ”

The carriage slowly departed, and the guards caught up with it, gradually disappearing around the corner.

Qin Huaidao watched the carriage go away, his eyes flashed with coldness, today he lost the face of King Wei, and the resentment in his heart will only be deeper, and he will definitely retaliate when the coal arrives, so he has to make some proper preparations.

However, one or two silver carts cost only about 100 yuan, and 2,000 carts are not enough at all, and 100,000 furnaces need a lot of coal.

The king of Wei thought of using coal to burn the stove, and the prince must have thought of it as well, and a sheep was sent to the door.

Luo Zhang walked over and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what is he doing here?" ”

"How many cars are pulled every day now?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

"Almost 300 cars, and more people have joined in the past two days, and there should be more than a dozen people joining tomorrow."

The volume of 300 cars, it is a little difficult to pull 2,000 cars in five days, and it is necessary to increase the manpower, Qin Huaidao advised: "The king of Wei came to buy coal, and he asked for 2,000 cars, and he will start to send it to the Zhuangzi of the king of Wei tomorrow, do you know the place?" ”

"I know, but two thousand cars are a lot, and it takes six or seven days to get lucky, so long Qinjiazhuang may not be enough, I think it has been used a lot recently." Luo Zhang reminded.

"Yes, you have to increase the volume, I'll figure out a way, you keep an eye on Qinjiazhuang." Qin Huaidao said.

Luo Zhang agreed and hurried away.

Qin Huaidao sat by the bonfire and thought, the stones were hired by the people of Waizhuang, there were already hundreds of people, the supply was not a big problem, the firing of bricks and tiles was the responsibility of the palace guards, and the handicraft work of building warehouses, making tiles, making honeycomb coal and stoves was done by the people of Qinjiazhuang, running at full capacity, and the manpower could no longer be transferred.

"Gotta find somebody." Qin Huaidao looked out of the door, the sky was gloomy, the cold wind was whistling, the temperature was getting lower and lower, and he didn't know when it would snow, and the people from the outer village couldn't come in, otherwise the secret couldn't be kept, but he could hand over the matter of making honeycomb coal, there was no technical content, and he was not afraid of others learning it.

As long as the manpower for making honeycomb coal is freed, the output of the furnace can keep up.

After a while, the food was fragrant, Qin Huaidao hurriedly ate a few bites, and rode away.

Half an hour later, Qin Huaidao returned to the house, found Uncle Ma who was busy in the iron shop in the west courtyard, and saw that the supporting iron rings on the stove were made thousands, and there were hundreds of sets of molds for honeycomb coal, and said: "Uncle Ma, arrange someone to transport the honeycomb coal molds back to Qinjiazhuang early tomorrow morning, and make every effort to produce iron rings." ”

"Write it down, young master." Uncle Ma hurriedly agreed.

"How many hoops can I make a day now?"

Uncle Ma hurriedly explained: "There are about five hundred, no matter how many people are not enough, Qinjiazhuang can't draw manpower, if you find someone from outside to come into the mansion to do it, I am worried that it will not be safe." ”

"Make as many as you can, I'll take a few." Qin Huaidao took a few and put them in a bag and left in a hurry.

Not long after, Qin Huaidao came to the Weiguo Mansion and was led to the study by his subordinates.

Wei Guogong Li Jing asked eagerly: "Boy, do you still know to come and see the old man, I heard that you have been very busy recently, why don't you come and take a look at the old man's military book?" ”

"Shibo, I'm afraid I can't do it today, the juniors need help with two things when they come here this time."

"Tell me about it." Li Jing was a little surprised.

Qin Huaidao was also not polite, and said bluntly: "First thing, I need a lot of carriages to go to Tongguan County to pull coal?" ”

"There must be a reason for the sudden increase in volume, is King Wei looking for you? Or the crown prince? Didn't you mean ......" Li Jing asked bluntly, his face a little solemn.

Qin Huaidao didn't expect Li Jing to be so shrewd, and he guessed the truth at once, worthy of being the god of war, and quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand, Shibo, the younger generation does not support the King of Wei or the prince, it is purely a single business, the King of Wei came to the door and bought it with silver, Qinjiazhuang has more than 1,000 people to feed, and the younger generation has no reason not to make money with the silver, if the prince also comes to the door, the younger generation will sell it the same, and the same price, impartial." ”

"It's just pure business, but don't think about anything else." Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and added: "There are not many horse-drawn carriages in the house, and they are a drop in the bucket, but the old man knows some people, so he turned around and asked, what kind of regulations is this coal pulling?" ”

"Set off from Jinguangmen every hour, and return at dusk, take care of lunch, have meat, manage enough, fifty wen per cart, if something happens, two hundred taels of bereavement."

"Your conditions are very high, is there no one in Chang'an City?" Li Jing was a little surprised.

"At present, there are about 300 cars, but it is far from enough, it is said that there are several big cars in Chang'an and there are families standing behind them, and the family does not speak, no one dares, and now they are helping to pull all the retail investors."

Li Jing suddenly asked: "I see, the old man will help you ask, I'm not sure how much, tell me, what is your second thing?" ”

Qin Huaidao took out an iron ring and put it on the table, and explained: "This thing is placed on the stove for overhead and supporting cooking utensils, and the demand is very large, and the younger generation can't produce it here, so I don't know if the Shibo Mansion can make some on behalf of me." ”

"There's a blacksmith in the house, I'll ask, wait a minute." Li Jing agreed and hurried out.

Not long after, Li Jing led an old man in, the old man picked up the iron ring to see, it was very rough, and said bluntly: "Master, this thing should be made of iron juice after molding, it doesn't need to be polished, and there is no need to consider toughness, it looks rough, the quality is very low, and it can be done." ”

"That's good, how much do you need?" Li Jing said and looked at Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao didn't answer immediately, but looked at the old man and said, "Uncle, if it is mass-produced, what is the approximate cost of one?" How much can you do per day? ”

The old man thought for a while and said: "This is not difficult, it is easy to make molds, the biggest cost is iron and charcoal, if it is produced in large quantities, one is about five Wen, charcoal has been more expensive recently, and you have to do it to know, as for the output, as long as the master arranges enough manpower, three hundred per day is no problem." ”

"What if you don't take into account the cost of charcoal?"

The old man quickly calculated in his heart and replied, "About three things." ”
