Spacious private room.

Qin Huaidao sat upright, leisurely eating dried fruits and drinking water, He'er said that he didn't sit down at all, and waited beside him, the two chatted casually, waiting patiently.

It didn't take long for Ma Xiaoqi to lead more than 30 people over, and he couldn't sit down at all, so he could only stand around first, no one dared to sit down, Qin Huaidao also understood the humble thoughts of the people struggling at the bottom, and he didn't force it, he looked at Ma Xiaoqi and asked, "Who are the families of the victims?" ”

Six people stood up and laughed together, their faces full of unease.

Qin Huaidao asked everyone to report their names, addresses and relationships with the victims one by one, all of which matched, I believe that no one dares to fake it, and directly pay out the silver, any promise looks pale in front of the silver, and when everyone sees the real silver, their minds are suddenly different.

That's a whole two hundred taels of silver, a huge sum of money that you can't earn in two lifetimes.

Qin Huaidao's atmosphere instantly won everyone's favor, one by one excited, they thanked each other, the scene was a little chaotic, Qin Huaidao signaled everyone to be quiet and said: "You are all the pillars of the family, if there is a good one, the family will be over, two hundred taels is not too much, talk about your heart, I hope everyone mourns." ”

"Your Excellency!" Everyone shouted, excited.

The scene was about to get out of control again, and Qin Huaidao hurriedly shouted: "Listen to me." ”

Everyone slowly quieted down and looked at Qin Huaidao one after another.

Qin Huaidao continued: "Presumably Ma Xiaoqi also told you, tomorrow when Jinguangmen gathers, how many will be wanted, go to Tongguan County to pull coal, you can make more appointments with familiar people, if someone threatens, come directly to the house to inform, the informant will be rewarded with one hundred taels, and someone will be arranged to escort it during transportation, if there is an accident, it will be two hundred taels of compensation, please believe it." ”

"Lord Qin, we believe it!"

"That's right, Lord Qin, we believe you!

"Lord Qin treats us as human beings, how can we retreat?"

There will be brave men under the reward!

When everyone heard that there was a compensation of 200, they were all in high spirits, and they couldn't go right away.

It's not strange that everyone has seen this kind of thing when they are helping people to work, who cares? Qin Huaidao took the initiative to come to the door and took out the silver to compensate, what else is not credible? What else is there to be afraid of?

Ma Xiaoqi shouted even more emotionally: "That's right, Lord Qin didn't need to pay attention to us and others, but he sent silver, and he also killed in the red boat to avenge us, great kindness, even if the small one gave up his life, he would have to pull coal." ”

"Go along! Let's go! ”

One by one shouted, excited.

If you don't kill the Red Boat Society, no one will dare to go no matter how much silver you give, now it's different, someone will take revenge if you die, and you still have two hundred taels of silver to take, your family doesn't have to worry about it for the rest of your life, what are you afraid of?

Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief, just be willing to go, it will be troublesome if you don't pull coal, as for the safety issue, you naturally have to be prepared, and after signaling everyone to be quiet, he added: "Everyone, there are no rules, there is no square circle, in the future, we will gather at Jinguangmen at a unified time every day, go together, meet together, ensure safety, eat on the road, and give fifty wen for every big car back, what other requirements do you have?" ”

"No, fifty is already a lot, Lord Qin is benevolent."

"Yes, there is no second one in Chang'an City at this price."

"Brothers sacrifice their lives to do it."

"That's right, I must sacrifice my life."

The idea of the people at the bottom is very simple, if you are good to me, I will report it desperately, not to mention that one back and forth a day means that I earn fifty wen a day, which is more than many people in a month, where can I find such a good thing?

Qin Huaidao saw that everyone had no opinions, so he asked the shopkeeper to advise: "Arrange a private room again, arrange good wine and food, how much silver will go back and send someone to the Yiguo Mansion to get it, do you know this official?" ”

"How can Lord Qin not know each other? The adults are righteous and respect the coachman coolie as a person, and it will surely become a beautiful talk in Chang'an City, and the small one will be arranged. So saying, he hurried away.

Qin Huaidao knew that he was there, and everyone couldn't let go, so he said with a smile: "Everyone, I still have to go in advance, everyone is open to eat, don't care about the silver, eat and drink enough, starting tomorrow, let's live." ”

"Your Excellency is benevolent!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Everyone felt Qin Huaidao's respect and shouted one after another, with tears in their eyes.

Qin Huaidao left with He'er, and was in a good mood to solve the matter of pulling goods, He'er followed closely, glancing at Qin Huaidao from time to time, delicate and shy, I don't know what I thought, my eyes were full of light, full of joy.

The two came to Dongshi unknowingly, found a place to eat, and when they checked out, Qin Huaidao inquired: "Shopkeeper, do you know that there is a shop nearby that is empty?" ”

"Ouch, that's a good question."

Qin Huaidao then remembered that there was such an intermediary as Yaxing, inquired about the location, and went directly with He'er, and someone greeted him warmly: "Guest officer, what can I serve?" ”

"You need a shop, you need a yard."

"Guest officer, please, let's sit down and talk." The other party's eyes lit up, this is a big deal, and he hurriedly introduced people into the house, took a stack of materials to rummage, and took out three copies and explained: "There are three families who want to sell, you can take a look." ”

Qin Huaidao took it and took a look, one of them was a street shop, two floors up and down, and there was a big yard behind it, and there was a kitchen and two miscellaneous rooms, which were exactly what he needed, and then looked at the price, one thousand eight hundred taels, a little expensive, and asked: "Can this one be less?" ”

"This is a dead price, the same shop costs about two thousand taels, and this one is sold cheaply because it is in a hurry to sell." The other party explained a little awkwardly.

Qin Huaidao could see that the other party was not lying, so he said, "Okay, let people trade." ”

The other party was overjoyed and immediately arranged for someone to go to the homeowner.

After waiting for a while, the owner came over and chatted briefly, the other party was a foreigner, the business was not good, and he planned to go back to his hometown, Qin Huaidao didn't ask much, signaled the transaction, and the shopkeeper of the tooth shop took out the contract for the two to sign, and then found Li Zheng to do notarization, and he also signed and pledged.

Qin Huaidao paid with gold cakes, the other party was eager to carry it on the way back to his hometown, and left after completing the formalities, the shopkeeper of the tooth store sent someone to the county government for the record, and exchanged it for a new house deed, and the shop was Qin Huaidao's.

After that, Qin Huaidao came to the shop under the leadership of the shopkeeper of the tooth shop, it looked quite new, the inside was also very clean, the things had already been emptied, the backyard was tidy, and he took the key and left satisfied.

On the way, He'er couldn't help but ask: "Young master, what are you doing when you buy a shop, do you want to do business?" ”

"Yes, if this business is done, the government will no longer have to worry about silver in the future."

"Really, the young master is so powerful!"

Qin Huaidao enjoyed the little girl's adoring eyes, while calculating, a large cart of coal back to Qinjiazhuang costs fifty wen, dug out twenty wen, and made into honeycomb coal is also about twenty wen, plus other expenses such as food and tools, the cost does not exceed one hundred and fifty wen, but a large cart of coal doped with loess can make more than two thousand honeycomb coal.

Even if it is sold for ten honeycomb coals for one penny, a large car can be sold for more than 200 yuan, and at least 50 yuan can be earned, which is not a lot, but it can drive all people in Qinjiazhuang to work and make money.

Ten honeycomb coal saving points can be burned for three to five days, families who can afford coal will not be too bad, families who are too poor will not buy coal by themselves, charcoal is expensive in winter, charcoal can be bought for a penny at most one day, firewood will be burned for three to five days, the same price honeycomb coal is more convenient than firewood, more cost-effective than charcoal.

And honeycomb coal is easy to use, will not be smoky, when not cooking, you can also boil water, roast fire, for rich families, not to mention ten, five are chasing to buy, but the real price of a penny five, ordinary families may not be willing to be, the market demand is much smaller.

Ten articles, the best!

It's just that this kind of novelty is more troublesome to accept, and coal is poisonous in everyone's subconscious, so it is not easy to sell, so we have to find a way to promote it.

Qin Huaidao thought as he walked.

A man hurriedly came and shouted anxiously: "My lord, I have found you, the Holy One has summoned you!" ”
