Chapter 67 All I want is face
If it was really according to what Old Man Li said, wouldn't His Majesty put a lot of silver into this thing?
When pigs fly!
In fact, this kind of scam has been seen a lot by ordinary people.
It is nothing more than that when these thieves sold these anthracites to Lao Li Tou, they showed him a kind of thing.
What was really sold to Lao Li Tou was another kind of thing.
Thanks to Lao Li Tou, he is still so stupid, and he really thinks that he has taken a big advantage.
After listening to the words of yin and yang, this old Li Tou felt a little unhappy.
After all, being said by so many people that he was fooled, isn't that just saying that he is stupid?
One or two people say it, forget it, so many people say, Lao Li Tou can accept it?
He put his burden on the ground and said in a loud voice, "No way, how can I lie to me when I saw them shoveling them from that anthracite heap?" ”
"If you don't believe me, then I'll just try to show you."
When the surrounding people heard this, they became even more interested and gathered around.
Old Li Tou took out a small pile of anthracite from the burden and planned to start the fire.
But it may be that Lao Li Tou was too nervous, and he didn't light it several times.
The surrounding people let out bursts of laughter, and sure enough, this thing was used by His Majesty to deceive the people.
Let's just say that Your Majesty is a faint king, and I can't imagine that ordinary people like them will be deceived.
But also, if Your Majesty doesn't deceive these ordinary people, will he deceive those scholars and nobles?
Just when Lao Li was about to give up, he actually lit this anthracite for the last time.
Anthracite burns slowly, emitting light and heat incessantly.
When this anthracite burns, it is almost as good as the charcoal, and even this thing is more resistant to burning than the charcoal.
And anthracite has a bigger advantage, that is, this thing burns up, and there is not too much smoke.
As the people approached the little fire, they immediately felt the heat coming from the fire.
Lao Li Tou finally raised his eyebrows at this time, "I just said that Your Majesty didn't deceive people, don't you see it's lit?" ”
"I was too nervous just now, so I didn't light it, and there was no problem with these anthracites at all."
The others still didn't believe it, so Lao Li Tou picked out some loose anthracite coal from the bag and threw it into the fire, but the anthracite was still burning.
So that means that this thing can really burn.
Lao Li Tou was still chattering, "Your Majesty is rich all over the world, it is absolutely impossible to deceive us ordinary people, you still have to talk nonsense, now you are slapped in the face!" ”
The people who were talking badly about Zhu Youxiao just now were all flushed with shame at this time, and quietly withdrew from the crowd.
Some other well-informed people had already withdrawn from the crowd and began to run quickly towards the Jinyi Guard's yamen.
That's right, this anthracite supplier is Jinyiwei.
Originally, Jin Yiwei was a little undignified to do these things, and he was not very willing.
But His Majesty said again, if you buy a load of anthracite, you will give them a rebate of two taels of money.
No matter how small this mosquito is, it is still meat, and they don't need to sell it themselves, it's a big deal to recruit some miscellaneous servants to do things, and they can earn back a lot of silver, and stick it in the hands of every brocade guard, why don't they do it?
Therefore, relying on the sales network of Jinyiwei, which exists in various places, Zhu Youxiao has developed the entire anthracite business to inside and outside the capital, and even to the north and south.
Jinyiwei's yamen was in charge of selling anthracite miscellaneous labor, and he had been staying for almost half a day, and he hadn't sold a few loads of second-class anthracite.
In fact, the miscellaneous work done here is this second-class anthracite for heating.
They knew that this second-class anthracite was a good thing, and he paid some money to buy some back home.
But no matter what they have to say to outsiders, outsiders just don't believe him.
If this continues, there is nothing to be gained today.
But unexpectedly, when these handymen were about to close the stalls, more and more people slowly came, and some people wanted to buy a few loads of second-class anthracite coal at once.
Soon, these handymen were completely overwhelmed and hurriedly reported the news.
The hundreds of households and thousands of households in the thousand households were shocked by this matter, and hurriedly recruited some helpers to deal with this matter.
By the end of the night, Jinyi Wei Qianhu looked at the account book in his hand and was also shocked.
He didn't expect this anthracite to be really so easy to sell.
If this continues, the little anthracite stock they have will be sold out in just ten days.
Qianhu also regretted it a little in his heart, he knew that he would have asked for more goods.
At first, they said that they thought this thing was not easy to sell, and they were afraid that it would take up space when they got it back, but they didn't expect that this cheap and easy-to-use second-class anthracite would be sold so easily.
These rebates of second-class anthracite, although he doesn't look down on them very much, are also an income for the brothers below.
The most important thing is that if he does this job well, then he will be able to show his face in front of His Majesty.
Everyone knows that this Xishan said that it was the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, but in fact, it was His Majesty's secretly.
The more things these Majesties sell, the more silver taels they earn, then Your Majesty will not be happy?
As soon as His Majesty is happy, their position should naturally be raised.
"Hurry up and send someone to the capital, I want more coal, let them hurry up and transport it to us, we want as much as we want."
This kind of second-class anthracite sells very well, but the sales of that kind of high-quality anthracite, although it does decline, it has not decreased much.
Because of Zhu Youxiao's operation, it was too sassy.
First-class anthracite does not need to be bought by the master at all, but is changed to home delivery.
The main thing is that these coal delivery people have unified their clothes, and as soon as they arrive in the backyard of others, they shout loudly, "The first anthracite has arrived!" "It's going to be known to the neighbors right away.
This anthracite is originally a consumable, and after a few days, the person who delivers anthracite should come to the door once.
Well, if anthracite is not delivered to your door, the neighbors really don't know what kind of coal you buy.
Now that it's delivered to the door, it's clear to everyone.
I usually look at your family's glamorous and glamorous, but I can't imagine that it burns second-class anthracite, and we and other real magnates take you as our company.
Bite?
You said that the house burned first-class anthracite?
Phew!
I've heard that your family has never seen a coal delivery person come to your door, so how can your family burn first-class anthracite?
The difference between the powerful and the merchants in the world is not that bit of silver, but this bit of face.
Especially for merchants who do big business, burning anthracite is a small matter, but that is a symbol of strength.
