"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, tell us how we can make use of the coal mines in our hands again?"

The old goods blinked their eyes one by one, putting all their hopes on Ying Feiyu's body.

At this time, not only they are in a hurry, but the entire Daqin, but everyone who has coal mines in their hands is all anxious about sales!

In this era, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many dead trees and branches on the mountain, and the people are accustomed to working in spring and summer, and they go up the mountain to chop wood when they have nothing to do in winter!

Of course, there are also some businessmen who don't have time to go up the mountain to chop wood, so they can only spend money to buy it.

Thus was born a profession called woodcutter!

Chopping firewood is their job, all year round, day after day, going up the mountain to chop wood, and then taking it to the market to exchange money to feed the family!

So even if the coal mine bosses lowered the price of coal again and again, no one bought it.

Coal is back to its original state of being unwanted!

"Compared with the steam engine, the common people are actually the largest consumer group!"

Ying Feiyu smiled leisurely.

"People?"

"Pull it down, the people won't buy coal at all!"

"Yes! There are many trees on the mountain, and the people have always gone up to the mountain to cut wood and burn it! ”

"If we can sell it to the people, we won't have to worry about it!"

"The stoves that the people use now are not suitable for using coal at all, even if they are sold at a low price, the people will not want ......!"

The veterans shook their heads and waved their hands, and immediately vetoed it.

If it can be solved so simply, why should the rich people sigh sadly?

Isn't it because no one buys it because it is sold at a low price, so the coal mines are shut down one by one?

"Humph! If you can make the business, won't it be sent a long time ago? ”

Ying Feiyu snorted coldly twice and sneered.

These old guys, if they knew how to do business, they wouldn't have had to live that kind of bitter life before!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, we are indeed inferior to you in this part of business, but the people don't buy it at all, and we can't do it!"

"I've tried all kinds of propaganda and price reduction methods, but it doesn't work, and the people still say that coal is not easy to burn!"

Zhang Han and Meng Yi said with bitter faces.

"That's because you haven't found the root cause of the people's refusal to buy!"

"Roots?"

The old goods looked at each other, not knowing why.

"That's right! The most fundamental reason why the people don't buy it is not the price of coal, but the people's mouths that it is not good to burn! That is, it is not suitable for the stove used by the people now! ”

Ying Feiyu explained with a smile.

"Huh? Seems to make sense! ”

A few guys nodded in realization.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means to say...... Want to change the cooktop? ”

Feng Qujian thought for a long time, and said suspiciously: "But the people are used to using the stove before, will they be willing to change?" ”

"Whether you want to change or not depends on whether the thing is good or not! Before, the people used dozens of hundreds of years of oxen to carry the plow, but when the Quyuan plow came out, didn't they still rush to change? ”

"Ancestors have used oxen to plough the land for generations, but when the tractor came out, didn't they all switch to tractors?"

Ying Feiyu immediately gave an example to refute.

He didn't believe it, as long as things were good, the people could still keep the same?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a point!"

"Yes, yes!"

Wang Ben and Meng Tian nodded again and again.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, if there is any way, just say it, we will listen to you!"

Zhang Han smiled flatteringly.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as long as we can reopen the market for coal, we will listen to you!"

Several other old guys followed, expressing their attitude.

"Come with me!"

Ying Feiyu smiled mysteriously and led them towards the corner of the garden.

Before he could get closer, he heard a cacophony of noise, accompanied by puffs of smoke and dust.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what are you doing in front?"

Wang Ben asked suspiciously.

"Make honeycomb coal!"

Ying Feiyu didn't hide it, and said bluntly.

"Honeycomb coal? What is that? ”

They've all heard of coal, but honeycomb coal is definitely a new word to them.

"If you want to open up the market for coal again, you can't just change the stove, you have to change the shape of the coal!"

"What? Changing shape? ”

The veterans really never thought about that.

"Let's go, let's see in front of you!"

Ying Feiyu didn't explain much, but led them on.

When the internal combustion engine gradually developed to replace the steam engine, he already thought that the coal market would be affected, so he began to teach the craftsmen of Besin to make honeycomb coal, and found someone to make a suitable stove!

At this time, the weather is getting cooler, and honeycomb coal can not only be used for stir-frying, but also for heating, which is very convenient!

The only thing you need to pay attention to is the safety issue and prevent soot poisoning!

"No, you have to grind it a little, otherwise it won't be compacted!"

"Add more water over there!"

"Yes, yes, start stirring!"

Ying Feiyu selected a few people from the Flying Eagles to supervise the production of honeycomb coal by these craftsmen.

I don't expect to sell it, just for the convenience of the government, and at the same time calculate the production cost to see if the honeycomb coal can be implemented in Daqin and solve the problem of coal sales!

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, see a few Lord Shangshu ......!"

After the soldiers of the Flying Eagle Team inspected the circle, they found the figure of Ying Feiyu and others, and immediately bowed.

"Excuse me!"

"How's the honeycomb coal made?"

Ying Feiyu waved his hand and asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, everything is going well, nearly 10,000 pieces have been produced, and it is in the shed at the back!"

The soldiers surrendered their hands.

"Good! Take us to see! ”

Ying Feiyu snorted, and under the leadership of the soldiers, he and the old goods went to the location where the honeycomb coal was stored.

In fact, the distance between the two is not far, and it only takes a moment to arrive!

"This ...... Are these made of coal? ”

Seeing the neat pieces of honeycomb coal, stacked and stacked high, the old goods opened their eyes.

"That's right!"

Ying Feiyu smiled and nodded.

"I really didn't expect that coal could be made like this?"

Feng Qujian picked up a piece of honeycomb coal, looked at the small holes that had been penetrated, and said in amazement.

Watching those craftsmen operate in the front, they were still confused, and they didn't know why good coal had to be crushed, and it couldn't be ignited.

It wasn't until they saw these neat honeycomb coals that they realized that this was to change the form of coal!

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what the benefits of this honeycomb coal are?"

Chun Yu Yue Tsai carefully observed for a long time, but never figured it out.

Even if the shape of the coal is changed, isn't it still coal? Why bother and increase costs?

Will the people be willing to pay for the change in the shape of the coal?

"That's a good question!"

Ying Feiyu snapped his fingers with a smile, and returned to the courtyard with the old goods, and asked the guards to bring a few pieces of honeycomb coal.

Later, the soldiers also brought coal stoves and tongs, which were necessary for the use of honeycomb coal.

It's all made by the blacksmiths in the house!
