Xiao Qing took a deep breath and walked outside, looking at the dense West Mountain in the distance, where there are many plants and trees, suitable for charcoal firing.

According to her understanding, there are a variety of high-quality trees on the West Mountain, including elm, birch, hemp oak, poplar, linden, willow, maple, paulownia, bamboo and other miscellaneous wood, these are good materials for charcoal, these wood burned out of the charcoal is durable, there are few smoke particles, the quality is very good, choose Zhao Zhuoxiang's charcoal kiln, because of the proximity to the trees.

After a few breaths, she came to the entrance of the charcoal kiln, the entrance of the cave was overgrown with withered grass, and when she looked inside, it seemed that there was a black net absorbing the light outside.

Xiao Qing shouted inside, and for a while, her echo resounded through her mouth, and it should not have been blocked.

She stood motionless at the entrance of the cave, thinking about how to compete for the maturing carbon fire market in Shanghai, and if she wanted to do the charcoal business, she first had to understand the demand for carbon fire from all walks of life in Shanghai, as well as the supply channels, and most importantly, the controllers who dominated these factors.

After these understandings, she wants to find a strong backer, who has a clear hierarchy in Shangjing, and is full of nobles, if she has no backer, she is afraid that she will be strangled at the gate of the city before the charcoal is burned and not sent to Shangjing.

Thinking about it, this person is the best in Xiucheng, but she doesn't want to look for him.

"You alone want to do a good job in the fire business in Shangjing, I'm afraid it's not easy, so you haven't thought about finding anyone to help?" Yu Xiucheng seemed to see through her thoughts, and asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiao Qing turned his face slightly, didn't look at him, Yu Guang squinted at him, was he testing her? Looking for his help, is he willing to help?

"Who do you think I should be looking for?" Xiao Qing threw the question at him.

Yu Xiucheng didn't say anything, confidently took a step forward, and frowned at her slightly.

"Of course it's me, in Shangjing, apart from my family, who is qualified to take care of the charcoal kiln?" Before Xiu Cheng could speak, He Mingli behind him strode over and said confidently.

Yu Xiucheng's face changed suddenly, and his eyebrows and eyes squinted coldly at He Mingli.

He Mingli smiled and walked between the two of them, and said very sincerely: "If the little county lord wants to do the charcoal business, I'm afraid he has to deal with my family, because in Shangjing and the palace, the transportation and trading of charcoal are all done by my brother, and the little county lord is the most suitable to find me!" ”

After speaking, he looked back and deliberately picked on Yu Xiucheng.

Yu Xiucheng retracted his eyes, slightly lowered his chin, pondered for a moment, and when he raised his head again, he sneered: "Yes, the He family is supervising the purchase of charcoal kilns in the imperial city, who is more suitable than theirs?" ”

He said and observed Xiao Qing's expression to see what her attitude was towards He Mingli, she would not be stupid enough to let him hold the big tree and hug the little sapling.

Xiao Qing didn't look at Yu Xiucheng, but looked at He Mingli seriously, the He family was actually in charge of the charcoal trading in the palace?

She pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you help me stabilize the price of the fire in the palace?" ”

She asked, He Mingli should know what it means, the price of charcoal is not much, the most important relationship from top to bottom she wants to get through, open up these relationships, it is much higher than the silver money of charcoal.

She just started working as a charcoal, and it's okay to get through a few relationships, but from top to bottom, I'm afraid she can't do it.

He Mingli thought about it, and said with an extremely sincere attitude: "This thing has always been done by my eldest brother, if I want to take over, it will take a little effort, but if you are willing to believe me, I will try my best to take this matter down, but I want to say in advance, the things given to the palace must be good, the best, there can be no sloppiness, the charcoal you make must be different from the past, distinctive, it is a good thing, and the price must be cheap, otherwise it will be difficult for me to help you buy the palace." ”

Xiao Qing felt his sincerity, he really wanted to help her, and they continued to maintain those relationships, so why did she hesitate?

She looked at He Mingli with a smile and said, "Third Master of the He family, please go this way, I want to talk to you about the follow-up matters alone." ”

He Mingli was overjoyed and said happily: "Good, good! ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and bowed to Yu Xiu, who was standing aside: "Lord Yu, the villain will go to the village with the little county lord to talk for a while!" ”

Yu Xiucheng saw that Xiao Qing was willing to talk about the charcoal business with someone he had just knew, and he was alone.

"Little county lord, do you think you can do a good job in the charcoal business if you talk to the He family like this?" Yu Xiucheng asked.

Xiao Qing asked sincerely: "I definitely don't want to do business with the He family, but Lord Yu, if I look for you, are you willing to help me?" ”

Yu Xiucheng: "......"

He was willing, but why hadn't she taken the initiative earlier? Talk to him more and say a few nice words? Take out a begging attitude!

For a long time, Xiao Qing didn't wait for his response: "Since Lord Yu has concerns, it's not easy to be troubled!" ”

Yu Xiucheng just wanted to say yes, Xiao Qing looked at He Mingli here, and made a gesture of please: "He Sangongzi is here, please!" ”

He Mingli smiled enthusiastically: "Little county lord, please!" ”

Yu Xiucheng sighed and wanted to stop Xiao Qing, but when he saw the two of them walking towards the village, he angrily put the words in his mouth and wanted to say but couldn't say them.

He pinched his waist, lowered his head, and kicked the stones on the ground: "A swinger, not playing in the streets, what are you doing here?" ”

He looked at Xiao Qing's back again: "The He family said that you can do it, you just go to talk to him alone, I've been running around for a long time, I haven't seen you talk to me alone, do you know that everything will come to me in the end?" What kind of confusion is committed? ”

While muttering to himself, Zhao Zhuoxiang hurriedly ran over.

"What about Qingqing, what about Qingqing?" Zhao Zhuoxiang looked around and asked, "Yu Xiucheng, have you seen Qingqing?" ”

Yu Xiucheng condensed his eyes at Zhao Zhuoxiang, his eyes seemed to look at a fool, he snorted heavily in his nasal voice, and left without saying a word.

"Hey, Yu Xiucheng, what kind of attitude do you have, don't go, hey, I have something to tell you, don't go, Yu Xiucheng! Feed! Do you understand the attitude of respecting people and talking to you? No matter how Zhao Zhuoxiang shouted behind him, Yu Xiucheng didn't pay attention to him.

He wants to go back and wait for Xiao Qing to beg him, who has time to take care of fools? He wants to see the matter of charcoal in the palace, he doesn't let go, who tosses in this matter, hum!

……

"Hahaha...... Hahaha......" Zhao Yinli covered his stomach with a smile, he pointed at Yu Xiucheng, and teased him loudly without hesitation.

Yu Xiucheng was impatient with his laughter, and asked with a cold face, "Have you laughed enough?" What's so funny about that? ”

Zhao Yinli sat slumped on the dragon chair, still laughing: "It's so funny, I really want to see your expression at that time, it's so funny, dignified Yu Taifu, even inferior to the third son of Taishi, chasing a woman, and being snatched away halfway, hey, Lao Yu, how did you endure it at that time, you didn't carry your big knife and cut that grandson?" ”

Yu Xiucheng looked at him with a cold face, I don't know what he was laughing at, he was angry for a day today, and he was still laughing like this?
