Chapter 419: Solving the Troubles of the Diao People
"This aunt, I also send you a word, why did you know this in the first place? If the apology is useful, what else will the government do? The aunt instigated Diao Min to smash the coal shop to pieces, and that's it. "The summer solstice is not forgiving.
The middle-aged woman didn't dare to scold at this time, and her tone softened. "The girl and aunt can pay for the silver, or double the amount of silver. is to ask the girl to help the aunt talk to the official. The aunt is too weak to go to prison. ”
Lotus and Xia Zhi glanced at the fat woman funny, just this body, still frail? This aunt doesn't blush when she opens her eyes and talks nonsense.
"The silver is naturally to be compensated, but you have to squat in prison, you fat woman slandered anthracite is a harmful thing. Hurt the reputation of our coal shop. "Lotus is not ready to let go of the fat woman easily.
The master said that to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.
Take advantage of this opportunity to give the coal shop a prestige, lest the shop become popular in the future, there will be more red-eyed monsters, who will engage in tricks behind their backs and frame the coal shop.
The official knows that the proprietor behind the charcoal shop is the three princes and the three princesses. It also obeyed the emperor's order to promote anthracite coal and benefit the people.
The official is naturally towards the lotus and the winter solstice. The official viciously told the fat woman to pay double the silver.
"The official clearly investigated, the women are also poor, and even if the women are sold, there will be no compensation for the money." The fat woman began to cry again at this moment.
Anyway, even if she loses the silver, she still has to go to prison, so it's better to break the jar and break it, and simply don't pay a penny.
"It's okay if you don't have any money, Lao Tzu will ask his brothers to cut off your little fat hands. It's compensation. The official threatened unceremoniously.
From the fabric of the clothes worn by this fat woman, it can be concluded that she is not a poor person, and she will not be unable to take out the silver for compensation.
"Don't cut off the hands of the women. The women lose money. The fat woman's frightened body was shaking, and she was stunned.
The people who watched the excitement all laughed, mocking the fat woman for being smart, and the official was not so easy to deceive.
After the negotiation of the coal shopkeeper, the fat woman paid double the silver, and had to pay fifty taels of silver.
In fact, the shop was smashed with some worthless things, and I would ask the guy to clean up the floor and buy some furniture again, and one or two silver was enough.
The shopkeeper just couldn't look down on this fat woman, so he dared to scratch his face, and he couldn't explain to his wife when he went back. I'm afraid I'm going to kneel on the washboard.
The shopkeeper was angry and directly blackmailed the fat woman for a large sum of silver. When he got the money, he would ask the bookkeeper to keep the accounts carefully, and he would never be greedy for a penny.
"Fifty taels of silver, is the shopkeeper inlaid with gold? I can't get so much silver. At most, two taels of silver will be taken out. The fat lady was not convinced.
Fifty taels of silver is her savings that she has worked hard all her life, and she will take it out like this, even if she squats in prison for the rest of her life, she can't bear it?
"If you can't take it out, it's easy to do, chop your hands!" The official gave the two soldiers below a look, and the soldiers pressed the middle-aged woman's fat hand, and he was about to cut with a machete.
The middle-aged fat woman was about to pee, and said with a crying voice, "Don't cut my hands, I'll take the official back to get the silver." ”
The rest of the people who were tied up were all fined one or two pieces of silver each, and sentenced to ten days in prison. It can be said that disaster fell from the sky, and they all regretted not being at the beginning. You shouldn't have listened to the fat woman, you were miserable.
As for the onlookers, after seeing the punishment of these people, they did not dare to say a word about anthracite.
This is something that the saints are trying to promote today, can it be bad?
Many of the onlookers bought anthracite.
The coal shop was busy for a while, the shopkeeper was busy like a spinning top, and the abacus in the bookkeeper's hand never stopped. Lotus and Summer Solstice also help with bookkeeping.
The people bought tons of anthracite, and the little guy in the shop was responsible for delivering it to the home.
After these people who bought coal went back to burn it, they would naturally publicize the benefits of anthracite, and for a time, the whole capital, whether it was rich and noble, or ordinary people, went to buy anthracite and honeycomb coal.
One coal shop was too busy, and five more coal shops were opened in the capital.
If there is any business that is the hottest in winter, it is the coal business. The price is close to the people, the heating effect is good, it is also anti-burning, and it will not be poisoned. The people are also willing to spend money to buy, and in a warm winter, the elderly and children at home will no longer have to be cold.
In late November, the emperor ordered the implementation of anthracite throughout the country, which was bound to make the people of the Great Chu State no longer suffer from the cold.
In winter, there was a rush for coal in various counties and counties of the Great Chu State.
The people of the Great Chu State knew that anthracite was researched by the three princesses, and the people of the whole country expressed their gratitude to the three princesses. As a result, everyone contributed a little bit of gratitude.
Kapok is a person who sits at home and likes to come from heaven. Boxes of silver earned from coal every day were carried into the palace, and there was an endless stream.
There are her coal shops in various places in the Great Chu Kingdom, and she can be said to be the first person to open a chain of shops throughout the Great Chu Kingdom. Coupled with the coal rush craze, she became the richest woman in the Great Chu State in one fell swoop.
There is a new thanksgiving value prompt sound in the space every day, and then Kapok was annoyed when he heard this prompt sound, so he simply blocked the prompt sound, and his ears returned to calm.
She counted the silver tickets every day, and her hands cramped when she counted them, and she was numb when she counted the money. The initial excitement has long been gone, and the job of counting money is simply assigned. The four maids around my father and mother also let them experience the feeling of counting money until their hands cramped.
At the end of November, the emperor rewarded a lot of good things to Kapok. The emperor also has a share of the coal business, after all, the coal in most places belongs to the state.
Because of the emperor's coal business, the treasury is also full of a lot.
This does not reward kapok with many good things. The most important thing is a gold medal for avoiding death, which is a great emperor's grace.
Since the founding of the Great Chu State, the people who have been given the gold medal for avoiding death can only be counted with a slap. They are all big people, and all of them have made great contributions to the country.
