By the window in the back, Lin Su's eyes widened.

Coal?

One is worth two cents of silver?

Also, the gift given by the second aunt of the Chen family to the father-in-law's family was actually twenty briquettes?

How did I not know that briquettes still have this way to play?

It has actually become a high-end atmosphere and high-grade gift, C! It's crazy in this world......

"Ahem!" With a cough, Lin Su stood at the door of the room.

Zeng Shigui's face was blue and red for a while, Brother Lin was so honored that he actually encountered this kind of incident, it was really rude.

And Mei Niang was also surprised, there were guests in my sister-in-law's house? And dressed up so high-end?

It must be said that this is an era of looking at clothes and faces, and as soon as Lin Su appeared like this, even the arrogant Chen Chong was shocked......

"This son! I am the same year as my great-brother, can I ask you a question? ”

"You say ......"

"The coal in your hand, you said it was two coins of silver?"

Chen Chong straightened his waist: "Exactly!" ”

This answer is quite proud, but when it comes to high-grade, high-priced things, people's waists are often very straight.

"Who brought it to Jicheng?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Chen Chong waved his hand lightly, and the two family members left Zeng's house with him, not answering Lin Su's question at all.

Lin Su turned around, and the dark night in the dark made eye contact with him, nodded his head slightly, and disappeared in place.

It's a little embarrassing now, Zeng Shigui and his wife are all embarrassed to death, the most embarrassing thing is Mei Niang, she kindly secretly took some briquettes from home, who would have thought that her brother would bring someone over and take back the things she sent out, she really hoped that there was a crack in the ground and let her get into it.

"Brother Lin, let you see a smile!" Zeng Shigui bowed deeply.

"Sister, I'...... I'm leaving......" Mei Niang hid her face and left.

"Wait!" Lin Su's voice suddenly came from behind.

Mei Niang stopped and turned back slowly, was she talking to her?

"Girl, you might as well stay, I have something I want to discuss with you......"

Mei Niang's face turned a little red: "Childe, Mei Niang is just ...... Just a little woman, ...... who doesn't understand anything."

"Nope! You know more than a lot of people. ”

Mei Niang looked at her sister and looked at the courtyard door, and finally nodded and followed her sister into the kitchen.

"Sister, he'...... Who is he? ”

"He's a most amazing man!"

"Bigger than my brother-in-law?" Mei Niang smiled lightly, she knew her sister, although her sister was unusually low-key, but in her sister's mind, her husband was always the most amazing person.

Unexpectedly, Xiuniang nodded: "Yes, although your brother-in-law is also amazing, he is even more amazing." ”

Mei Niang was shocked......

"He is the Huiyuan Gong of Huichang!"

Yes! Mei Niang almost jumped up, will Yuan Gong? My God, the whole Jicheng knows that the most powerful literati in Jicheng Mansion is He Jieyuan, He Jieyuan has become a star in the eyes of everyone, and this Huiyuan Gong is firmly pressed on the top of He Jieyuan's head, he is the brightest one in the stars......

"Why is my brother-in-law so familiar with him?"

"They met in Huichang, like brothers, haven't you been asking who gave your brother-in-law the more than 1,000 taels of silver last time? That's him! ”

Ah, Mei Niang held her mouth again.

Still so rich?

A car suddenly came in the yard, Xiuniang and Mei Niang greeted them out at the same time, and the person sitting in front of the carriage jumped out of the carriage and smiled slightly: "Xiuniang, I bought you some things, let's move in." ”

"Ma'am, this ...... How does this work? Xiuniang was shocked, it was the dark night when she was still at home just now.

A lady like her should be pampered, she should sit on a high platform, waiting for the girl to wait, but she actually quietly left Zeng's house, bought a bunch of things, and personally drove the car in, which made her unacceptable no matter what.

"Xiuniang, I'm from Jianghu, I don't have so much etiquette, this is all my family...... Xiang Gong's thoughts, accept it. ”

Yawen Library

Xiuniang hesitated for a while, but nodded.

The contents of the cart were moved downwards one by one, including rice, oil, flour, and fur...... The daily food, clothing, and housing are basically all ready, and all the things on the top have been removed, revealing a layer of black below, which is the coal I have just seen, and there are hundreds of them.

Xiuniang and Mei Niang all changed color.

Zeng Shigui's face was red, and he was deeply respected: "Mrs. Sister-in-law attaches so much importance to righteousness, Shigui is embarrassed. ”

Lin Su smiled and said: "Brother Zeng, I won't tell you, you gave all the money I gave you to the riverside homeless people, I know all about this, since Brother Zeng never planned for himself, I will help you make some arrangements." ”

"Thank you, Brother Lin!" Zeng Shigui almost cried.

On such a cold winter day, he already felt a strong warmth.

The meal was served, although the coarse tea was shallow, Lin Su didn't care at all.

Although the wine was very much like rancid water, he drank it three times.

After the meal, the stove was lit and the room was finally warmer......

"Lady, what price did you buy this briquette?"

In front of everyone, the dark night did not comment on the title of the lady, and replied directly: "It is indeed two dollars of silver, and there are many people who rush to buy it, and tomorrow, it may be three dollars." ”

Zeng Shigui thanked again: "Brother Lin is so expensive, it's really ......"

Lin Su said: "Brother Zeng, do you know that these briquettes are in Haining, and you can buy a hundred for two dollars of silver!" ”

Everyone in the room was stunned, at this time the stove was already burning, the cold was no more, and everyone was convinced by this heating artifact, and suddenly heard this sentence......

"What Brother Lin said, although it was shocking, but ...... But the younger brother believed. Just like the sentence you wrote in "Commercial Affairs", scarcity is expensive, and the price of briquettes is low, but Jicheng, which is hundreds of miles away, is hard to find, and the price is 100 times higher, which is normal. ”

"Normal is normal, but in this cold season, the briquettes are fried to such a sky-high price, ordinary people can't afford to use them, what does Brother Zeng think should be done?"

The two suddenly began to talk, and the three women looked at each other.

Zeng Shigui groaned: "Brother Lin said a method in "Commercial Affairs", the younger brother feels extremely reasonable, it involves the national economy and people's livelihood, and it should be set by the government, what Brother Lin means is ...... Let me write to the prefect? Suppressing coal prices? ”

""Commercial Affairs", in fact, is just the general practice of this era, how effective it is, depends on the government's decision-making ability and execution, if you come to be this prefect, I believe you can do it, but the current prefect, may not be able to do it!"

"Exactly! The prefect of Jicheng, who is very close to the He family, may have his share of the windfall profits of coal, and he is happy to see the price of coal skyrocketing, this method is not feasible. ”

"There's another way! Not included in the "Commercial Stoppage" ......"

Zeng Shigui was shocked: "Brother Lin, please advise!" ”

"The law of the market! Introducing a competitive mechanism! Lin Su said: "Just imagine, what if two completely different groups control the sales of briquettes at the same time? ”

Zeng Shigui muttered: "It is very likely that the two families will reach a consensus and jointly exploit the people. ”

"What if one of them is a common people?"

Zeng Shigui was stunned......

"Brother Zeng, you are concerned about the displaced people on the river beach, but you should know that the displaced people can not solve the problem at all by relying on your temporary help, you must give them a long-term way to make money, you choose a few business-minded displaced people, form a team, ready to receive briquettes from Haining, tomorrow, there will be two boats of coal to the displaced people on the river beach, handed over to them, whether they use it for their own use, or sell it at a higher price, it is up to them to decide, two purposes, one, so that the river and beach displaced people will not freeze to death; Second, knock down the sky-high price of briquettes for me. ”

Dark Night was the first to object: "...... You probably don't know that the coal in Haining is particularly in short supply, and it is impossible to get it without a considerable relationship. ”

Lin Su smiled: "Others may not be able to get it, but I can." ”

"You ......" it is not good to refute her in public at night, but she doesn't believe it in her heart, it is a fact that you have a little reputation in Haining, but, Wendao is Wendao, business is business, almost all of the bigwigs in the shopping mall are inextricably linked to the Zhang family, you are against the Zhang family, the shopping mall bosses have a rare opportunity to fight back, how can they be at your mercy?

"Because this coal is mine!"

The night jumped up......

The rest of the crowd were dumbfounded......

Lin Su raised his hand, and a piece of golden paper appeared, turning into a wild goose and flying into the distance......

Zeng Shigui, Xiu Niang, and Mei Niang were all stunned.

"Brother Zeng, Xiuniang, you need to go to the river beach, form your team, discuss how to sell this briquette, Mei Niang, this team, you can also join the ...... as an individual"

Mei Niang was so surprised, that's why she was left behind?

Let her participate?

Her heart was pounding: "Lin Gongzi, it's easy to sell this briquette, those people have two dollars of silver, and we must be crazy to rob one of the two dollars, that is, ...... It's just that the riverside homeless people will not be able to make up the capital for a while, can they give money after selling it? ”

Speaking of which, she was very embarrassed, isn't this profitless?

Lin Su smiled: "The first batch of two boats, first on credit to you, when the second batch comes, you can pay off the first batch of money." ”

Mei Niang jumped eight feet high, and she was crazy with happiness.

When she was at home, she listened to her father discuss with her second brother-in-law, whether she could let the Chen family also get a piece of the pie, the second brother-in-law couldn't be the master at all, he was just a side child of the He family, how could he be the main family's home?

And now, Lin Gongzi, who has great powers, has handed over the decision of the two boats of briquettes to the third brother-in-law.

"Let's go back to the inn first, and I'll go there when the goods arrive tomorrow." Lin Su and Dark Night got up to say goodbye.

Zeng Shigui and his wife and Mei Niang kept sending them to the inn.

Turning around, they went to the river beach.

More than 10 people froze to death last night, this is not the most serious situation, the most serious situation will occur on the day the heavy snow stops, the snow is not cold and the snow is cold, and on the night when the snow lives, it is the time when the river beach has the most dead people, the river beach displaced people look at the heavy snow outside, I don't know whether to expect the snow to stop early, or hope that the snow will never stop......

At this time, Zeng Shigui and the three arrived at the river beach......

The room in the inn, closed on all sides, is far more comfortable than Zeng's family, a cup of fragrant tea is soaked in boiling water, and the teacup is held in front of him in the dark: "What have you done during this time?" ”

Lin Su held her teacup and hand at the same time: "I didn't do anything, it was just to set up three small factories and enter a small share." ”

"Small factory? Among them are coal plants? ”

"Yes!"

Dark Night's heartbeat accelerated: "What are the other two factories?" ”

"Cement and brick factories ......"

The dark night is directly confused, what is this?

"I can't tell for a while, but you'll know when you get back...... Is midnight coming? ”

Dark Night stretched out his hand, pressed his head and turned out the window: "You can see for yourself that it hasn't ......"

It's still daylight outside the window, and you can ask if midnight has arrived now, you stinky and shameless ......

On the same day, Jicheng set off a boom, a magical thing called coal spread all over the city, a piece of coal, can ensure a big house overnight warmth, the effect can reach one percent of the demon flint, but the price is a thousand times lower than the flint!

What does this mean? The cost performance is 100 times that of the demon flint.

The flint of the demon clan is a treasure, who can imagine it for ordinary people? But this coal, which can be enjoyed directly by large households in the city, is much more cost-effective than charcoal.

By the way, charcoal in this world is unusual.

Why? Because charcoal needs wood, and most of the wood grows in the mountains, dense forests, there are often demon clans entrenched, you want to destroy the territory where the demon clan lives, and you have to ask the demon clan if you agree, so the price of charcoal is also high, ordinary people spend the winter, basically rely on hard support.

Coal is so scarce, so corresponding to the demand for winter, the big households in the city started to use their brains and began to hoard a lot, the He family became wholesalers, and the rest of the group of big households became second-class dealers, and the qualifications of second-way dealers still depended on grabbing.

In the blink of an eye, the coal has been fried to 3 pieces of silver.

The Chen family also mobilized the relationship between the second aunt, got 3,000 pieces of coal, transported it to the warehouse and stored it, and waited until the heavy snow stopped, and then took it out and sold it in the coldest days. According to conservative estimates, each piece can be sold for at least 5 yuan! How much is 3,000 bucks? Earn 600 taels of silver.

When the briquettes were put into storage, Mr. Chen was very happy and drank a little wine with his most proud second son-in-law.

"Father-in-law, I will continue to fight for the master's side, the next boat is estimated to arrive the day after tomorrow, this time I will strive for 5,000 yuan!"

Master Chen was overjoyed: "Virtuous son-in-law, it depends on you that the Chen family is developed!" ”

"That's natural, I'm the son-in-law of the Chen family, and I will naturally help at a critical moment."

As soon as the curtain of the door was lifted, Chen Chong strode in, his face was very ugly.

"Chong'er, why is your face so ugly? What happened? ”

Chen Chong bowed to his father: "Dad, it's all the fourth sister's money-losing goods, she actually gave ten pieces of coal to the third sister......"

"Is this worth it?" Old Man Chen was furious when he heard this: "This is my uncle's intention, how can it be so bad?" What about her? Call me. ”

"I've ordered her to come back immediately, and she hasn't come back yet......"

"Go, bring her back, and kill this slut for her father!"

A few people rushed to the house rented by Zeng Shigui again, but it was empty, and several family members stared at the locked courtyard door lock, looking at each other, the third aunt's family ran away? What about Miss Four? Ran away too?

This is a big deal, hurry up and report back.

They didn't go into the house, and if they did, they would find things that shocked them, there were hundreds of coals in the house that they considered fetishes, and plenty of warm clothes, and plenty of meat in the kitchen, all good things
