Chapter 105: Half a Month's Gain
Inside the Shouchun Palace.
Recently, Yuan Shu also listened to the people below talk about the changes in this Shouchun City.
Although he didn't particularly care about these things in Shouchun City, he drank and had fun in the palace all day long.
But every morning at the time of the pilgrimage, there are always some ministers who will talk about the recent situation in various places and the surrounding situation.
Even if Yuan Shu didn't want to know about the changes in Shouchun, he would passively know something.
When he heard that all the displaced people in Shouchun City were gone, he showed a puzzled look.
At the same time, he recalled that his son had asked him for food relief for the victims.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you said that there have been people selling honeycomb coal in the city recently, and if you think about it, the widow should know something."
"It seems that the widow's unsuccessful son asked the widow for 30,000 stones of grain and grass half a month ago, saying that it was to relieve the victims, could it be that this kid did it?"
"Your Majesty, please son, go to the palace and ask, you can know."
Someone hurriedly said a few more words below.
Yuan Shu nodded, it's been half a month, and Yuan Yao hasn't come to report the situation to him.
It makes sense to send someone to find him and ask him.
Anyway, Yuan Shu also wants to know if the boiling honeycomb coal incident that has been circulating recently is the ghost of his son.
"Okay, send someone to inform Yuan Yao and ask him to come to the main hall immediately."
The two little yellow gates quickly conveyed Yuan Shu's will and hurriedly ran to summon Yuan Yao.
At this time, Yuan Yao was directing his men in the city to transport the honeycomb coal to each household in batches.
was disturbed by the sudden arrival of the little yellow door, but he was not angry, after all, these little yellow doors were just the messengers.
Knowing that it was his cheap father Yuan Shu who was looking for him, he immediately put down the work in his hand and soon followed the little yellow gate to the palace.
Fortunately, his location is not far from the palace.
In less than half an hour, he came to the main hall of the palace.
As soon as he entered, he saluted Yuan Shu first, and the element waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite before opening his mouth to ask him.
"How are I doing?"
"Back to my father's words, I have been busy relieving the victims recently, but I haven't come for some days, so I ask my father for peace."
"Well, the widow also saw that you haven't been here recently, so he sent someone to find you and want to talk to you."
"I heard from the ministers that there are people selling honeycomb coal in Shouchun City recently, and all those displaced people are gone, did you do it?"
Yuan Shu didn't talk nonsense to him, so he directly asked the question he wanted to know.
These things are not only what Yuan Shu wants to know, but also those ministers below.
Although some people have already learned through their own channels that the honeycomb coal was made by Yuan Yao, they also want to hear Yuan Yao confirm it himself.
In particular, they wanted to know whether this honeycomb coal was profitable through Yuan Shu's inquiry.
It's a sure thing to make money, because they've sold a lot of this stuff just from the recent boom in honeycomb coal sales.
As long as the quantity comes up, it is a matter of how much money is made.
They're just curious about how much money this thing can make.
Yuan Yao didn't know what the idea of this court was in his heart?
They just saw the booming sales of honeycomb coal in recent days, and they also wanted to get in and get a piece of the pie.
It's just that the relationship with Yuan Yao is not very good, so I want to stab this matter into Yuan Shu's hand, and borrow Yuan Shu's hand to insert it.
After being asked by Yuan Shu, Yuan Yao pondered slightly, and then opened his mouth to explain to Yuan Shu and the many ministers present.
"Back to my father's words, this matter is indeed the son's doing, when the son-in-law returned to Shouchun, seeing that the vicinity of Shouchun has been disturbed by the homeless, in the long run, this is not a good thing for Shouchun and my Dazhongguo."
"That's why the last time I told my father, I wanted to use some of the grain and grass to relieve the victims, and at the same time let them go to the mountains to mine, make honeycomb coal and sell it, and use it to make money to feed the surrounding displaced people for my use."
The fact that Shouchun City was trapped by homeless people was actually not a trivial matter. Many ministers knew about this matter, and even mentioned it to Yuan Shu in the court.
It's just that Yuan Shu doesn't pay much attention to this matter, in the eyes of a superior person like him, just some homeless people are driven away.
There is no need to go to great lengths to settle down and be treated.
If you do that, you will only waste your own food and grass and cause trouble for yourself.
But Yuan Shu never thought that his son would not only perfectly solve the problem of the homeless people with only 30,000 stones of grain and grass, but also make a honeycomb coal, and he heard that he had earned a lot of money, which made him quite curious.
"My son's whimsical idea helped his father solve the problem of the displaced people in just a few days, which really impressed his father. I heard that the honeycomb coal you made has been selling very well in Shouchun City recently, and now that half a month has passed, how is the sales going, and can you make money? ”
The first few sentences were just polite words, and Yuan Shu quickly took them in three or two sentences and asked the questions he really wanted to ask.
Is honeycomb coal profitable or not?
In the silence just now, Yuan Yao had already thought about how to answer this question.
At this moment, there was no hesitation, and he replied directly to Yuan Shu.
"Father, in the past half a month, I have indeed made some money by selling those made honeycomb coals. A total of 780,000 yuan. ”
Above the main hall, people who were originally very interested in this honeycomb coal. After hearing this number, he immediately calmed down.
It took half a month to earn 780,000 yuan, after deducting the cost. It is estimated that the profit is not much.
It's only twenty or thirty thousand a day, which may be a lot for an ordinary family, but for those present. For the princes and nobles, it is not worth mentioning.
Even Yuan Shu wasn't much surprised when he heard this answer, he really didn't care about this money.
However, he quickly rushed to Yuan Yao and encouraged him twice.
"Yes, yes, my son has really grown up, and he actually has the ability to make money on his own, and he has made hundreds of thousands of dollars in half a month, which is also a lot of assets this year."
Listening to Yuan Shu's encouragement, Yuan Yao immediately smiled, but said modestly.
"What my father said is very true, but it is a pity that this time I was busy in the early stage, relieving the victims and exploring the coal mine, and it took a few days to make the honeycomb coal, and it only took seven or eight days to really take the honeycomb coal to the market for sale."
The ministers, who originally looked down on these honeycomb coals a little, suddenly turned pale when they heard Yuan Yao's words.
If they heard Yuan Yao say just now that they had earned more than 700,000 yuan in half a month, there were still some disdains. Now it's a surprise.
