In the cold spring snow, there should be no more pleasant enjoyment than lying on the kang.

When I woke up the next day, my father Zhu Hanmo went to a private school early in the morning to teach.

Zhu Chengjun turned his face sideways and saw that there was no one beside him, and his 'wife' Rui Jinxuan also got up early.

Falling asleep at night, waking up naturally the next day, and not having a regular alarm clock to urge, this is a beautiful thing that many office workers who are commuting on the road in the 21st century cannot envy.

Although the pace of life in this era is slow, the lack of material resources and the lack of so many exciting entertainment projects, for those who love tranquility, how much enjoyment is Na Ti.

Zhu Chengjun found that he liked and adapted to the current life more and more, and the wisp of anxious and restless soul brought over from his previous life seemed to be soothed at this moment, and his mood became more and more peaceful.

In the afternoon, the wind stopped and the snow stopped.

Zhu Chengjun walked to the resettlement area.

"Zhu Gongzi." When everyone saw Zhu Chengjun coming, they all consciously stopped their work and greeted them cordially.

The resettlement houses have been continuously strengthened and expanded, and there has been a considerable improvement compared to yesterday.

Zhu Chengjun stood in front of the bulletin board made of tree bark, looked at the list of announcements written on it with charcoal, and nodded secretly with satisfaction. Fair distribution, equal for everyone, fair handling of things, no objections to people, open income and expenditure, mutual supervision, such a way of doing things is most suitable for the present.

At present, everyone is the same, there is no difference in status, and there are many unnecessary contradictions.

In Zhu Chengjun's words, this is a utopian ideal small society.

The people in charge of going up the mountain to cut firewood took turns and were busy.

On the edge of the kiln, people are piling up wood, sealing the soil, and firing the kiln into the kiln......

Zhu Chengjun carefully reviewed the contents of the announcement on the bark bulletin board, and calculated a little in his heart, only more than ten kilns were dug yesterday and produced 1,200 catties of white charcoal and nearly 3,000 catties of black charcoal, which was much better than he expected.

Now that the temporary housing has been completed, more people will be freed up to concentrate on charcoal firing, and as long as more and more people begin to master this skill, the operating mechanism will become more and more perfect, and the output can be doubled.

People have a head, they are full of energy, there is no need for Zhu Chengjun to speak, and the big guys are spontaneously and consciously preparing to dig more earthen kilns to expand the scale of production.

"Look! They're back! ”

"There's still something in the car!"

"It's food!"

…………

Everyone cheered, put down the work in their hands and rushed over to carry the purchased materials.

Seeing the tears of happiness in people's eyes, Zhu Chengjun also felt a warm current flowing through his heart, and an empty heart seemed to be filled with something special at this moment.

The existence of the individual is valuable to the collective, which is one of the meanings of human existence in the world.

Xu Xiao held the silver bag and strode to Zhu Chengjun with a meteor and bowed.

"Big brother! As soon as our charcoal arrived at the market, it was sold out, and we also received a reservation from a charcoal merchant! Three thousand pounds of white charcoal! Black charcoal is as much as you can get! This is the silver left after the purchase of grain and salt and the secret Chang Song brothers, and the remaining silver is ten taels! Xu Xiao said excitedly.

Zhu Chengjun asked Lao Huang to take the silver tael, and then fell into contemplation, if the general demand for charcoal would not be so popular, in terms of quantity, the demand in the town market is also very limited. Spring is about to pick up, and the market demand is definitely going down.

"Big brother, what are you thinking?" Xu Xiao saw Zhu Chengjun's frowning, and immediately put away his excitement.

"What is the identity of the person who ordered charcoal?" Zhu Chengjun asked in a deep voice.

"It's not like a charcoal merchant in town." Xu Xiao thought about it for a moment and replied.

Zhu Chengjun keenly captured that there was a strange black charcoal in it, and the demand for black charcoal that could be used for iron smelting was so large, combined with the analysis of the current situation, Zhu Chengjun could be sure that this was the imperial court military buying charcoal on a large scale. Originally, I was worried that the charcoal market would not be good after the spring warm, and I had to re-plan the way to make money, but now it seems that I am too worried.

Zhu Chengjun knows that the opportunity to make money is coming, and it is to make a lot of money!

How can the hard-earned products be cheaper than the middlemen. Zhu Chengjun doesn't want everyone to be reduced to thankless coolies doing manual work, and there may be an opportunity to change this situation now.

The opportunity is rare, and the loss will never come again.

At present, if you want people and goods in your hands, how can you miss the opportunity.

Zhu Chengjun shook his head with a smile, this smile looked like the faces of those profiteers in Xu Xiao's eyes.

"It's a good day, and the big guys should be open to celebrate. Brother Xu Xian didn't say to your brother, if you don't buy more things with money, you really won't come to trouble. Zhu Chengjun immediately changed his tone, smiled and reprimanded Xu Xiao lightly.

"Ho ho ...... Big brother has to teach him a lesson. Xu Xiao scratched his ears with a simple face.

"I'll go to the town with you early tomorrow morning, maybe I'll have to go to the county seat, be well prepared." Zhu Chengjun glanced at the Black Carbon Guards again, changed his words, and instructed Xu Xiao: "You are now the leader of the team, in addition to guarding the safety of all of us, you must also shoulder the task of training the team members, and you have a martial art, even if you encounter robbers, you will not be chased away." ”

"Big brother is wise!" Xu Xiao couldn't help but admire the foresight of the sworn brother.

In the open space, Zhu Chengjun applied all the methods of military training in his previous life to the team members, and he practiced it himself, and devoted himself to the fiery training with everyone.

After more than an hour of training, even those who trained on the snow were sweating profusely.

"Big brother, where did you learn this training method, which is even better than the training in the barracks...... Good. Xu Xiao sat in front of the kiln fire and gasped and asked.

"In the future, when you are free, you will organize everyone to practice like this, persevere, can you do it?" Zhu Chengjun instructed.

"Yes!" Out of convincing the eldest brother of the righteous brother, Xu Xiao immediately boasted about Haikou.

The next day, Zhu Chengjun asked Fu Bo to hire a horse-drawn carriage to drive the charcoal to the market slowly.

The road is peaceful, it may be that this place is poor and remote, and even robbers are unwilling to set up cards to rob.

When a group of people came to the market, there were already three or five merchants gathered in front of the store.

It was not a business that came to the door, if it weren't for the previously agreed price, Zhu Chengjun would have planned to slaughter him.

"Big brother, second brother." After a simple greeting, Chang Song helped everyone unload the truck together, weighed it, and loaded the truck.

Zhu Chengjun came to the three charcoal merchants, and today he had to find out the identities and origins of these people no matter what.

"Childe is the owner of this charcoal shop?" Without waiting for Zhu Chengjun to speak, a shrewd businessman with a bit of official spirit took the initiative to salute him.

In the eyes of several people, Zhu Chengjun was dressed as a scholar, and he couldn't help but show doubts. The status of scholars in the Song Dynasty was extremely high, and they did not disdain to engage in such lowly professions at all, and they lost their identity as scholars.

"The adults are smiling, they are just vassals and elegant, they all understand, they all understand." Zhu Chengjun saw the expressions of several people in his eyes, and when the title of 'adult' was spoken, several people bowed their heads proudly. Seeing the expressions of several people, Zhu Chengjun was even more sure that these people must be officials and businessmen who do official business even if they are not officials.

"Childe doesn't need to be presumptuous, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to gain fame, I am optimistic about you." The man said perfunctorily.

"Dare to ask a few adults, but they are from the county, and the purchase of charcoal is not a trivial matter, Your Excellency only needs to give you an order, and you can arrange for home delivery at any time." When he spoke, Zhu Chengjun had a sincere smile on his face.

Seeing the three of them looking at each other, their eyes showed a look of vigilance. Zhu Chengjun is even more sure that these people are doing tolerance, and most of the charcoal purchased in such a hurry is definitely not used for heating and cooking, so its use is really intriguing.

"Doing things for the Lord's family is not careless. I think Childe is a real person, so let's decide that your goods are good, and we will come back tomorrow! The price is still the same, what does Childe think? Another said.

Since it was concluded that a few people were doing the same, how could Zhu Chengjun be polite to them, the court was rotten, and the officials and businessmen colluded to make a fortune in the country, even if he couldn't take the path of officials and businessmen, he had to mix more and more from it anyway.

"This is a big thing, but also a good thing, if you don't like the humble shop, please come in and chat." Zhu Chengjun warmly invited.

A few people secretly said that it was not good, and said in their hearts: What did this vassal and elegant little charcoal merchant see?

"Brother Xu Xian, I have important matters to discuss with several big shopkeepers, don't let people disturb me." Zhu Chengjun gave Xu Xiao a look and said very solemnly.

Xu Xiao seemed to be infected by the shrewdness on Zhu Chengjun's body, and instantly understood.

"Zhu Gongzi might as well speak directly if he has something to say." The man surnamed Li exchanged glances with the other two, and he spoke.

Looking at his words and looks, Zhu Chengjun could see that the man surnamed Li had the most weight in his speech.

"Then I'll get straight to the point, dare to ask Your Excellency, it's a tolerance." Zhu Chengjun found the initiative to sit on the ground and raise the price, and his politeness to several people instantly decreased a little.

"You ......" was seen through at a glance, and the other two couldn't sit still on the spot, so they stood up on the ground.

"It seems that I guessed well, a few shopkeepers, please rest assured, God knows this matter, you know and I know, as for what charcoal is used for, I will never inquire, and I will never speculate." Zhu Chengjun said very interestingly.

Will the official family come forward to purchase charcoal on a large scale just a move of 'charcoal filial piety'? When the official family will have a shortage of charcoal for heating? This is the time to do 'charcoal filial piety', and the boss will only accuse you of being insincere.

Sending charcoal in the snow is aimed at people in need, and it is better to send warm charcoal to the boss sooner rather than later, which is a human condition.

After a little analysis in his heart, Zhu Chengjun dared to conclude that this batch of charcoal was needed by the military to build weapons, and only secret procurement would not cause market fluctuations. The charcoal market is rising against the season, so abnormal, how can people in the industry not smell it.

"What should Zhu Gongzi do?" Since people have seen through the intention of purchasing charcoal on a large scale, they will not hide it.

"I'm just here to get rich, and of course I won't be slow to treat you." Zhu Chengjun squeezed a look that everyone understands.

"Double the price." The man surnamed Li was about to double the purchase price.

Zhu Chengjun shook his head, then stretched out his five fingers and shook them in front of the three of them, and said, "Three times!" If you are not uninteresting, I can give three people back this number. ”

The three of them looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and suddenly the price increased by three times, and they were almost close to the price they reported.

There are many people who deceive the upper and lower at all times, and they are all in vogue.

"Zhu Gongzi has already seen that we are doing a secret errand, although the charcoal-burning workshops are no longer mass-produced this season, and the yamen only needs to let out a little wind, and Zhu Gongzi can sell it at the previous price is already very good." The man's face sank instantly, and he said in his heart: This kid is ruthless enough, and he almost didn't hit the tip of people's hearts with a knife.

"It's not good for everyone to let out this rumor." The corners of Zhu Chengjun's mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes looked at the three of them with blazing eyes.

How the interest group of charcoal procurement operates this time, Zhu Chengjun's mind can guess without turning a corner.

If the wind is released in a short period of time, it will inevitably make the charcoal merchants hoard, which will only push up the price, and the charcoal military will only have disadvantages and no half of the benefits, and even spend five times more than the price to let the charcoal merchants release the goods.

Everyone knew about this, and the atmosphere in the store was instantly silent.

"It doesn't hurt if Zhu Gongzi can let me wait." The man surnamed Li was clear in his heart, in fact, he had long wanted to increase the purchase price of charcoal, but because of his identity, he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. It is even more difficult to push up the charcoal market without exposing the fact that charcoal is urgently needed by the military, and to buy enough charcoal on a regular basis when most of the charcoal mills are closed.

If it weren't for that, wouldn't they want to go to the countryside in this cold spring and hold the delicate concubine at home to fall in love.

"If you can trust me, please wait and see, I will never let you be uneasy. If you believe that the next cooperation will probably end this time, I just want the people in the workshop to thank you for the time to rest. Zhu Chengjun replied.

"Good! According to what Zhu Gongzi said, I hope you will not let me down. "When it comes to this, it's almost final.

"It's a pleasure to work with." Zhu Chengjun immediately made an appointment with the three of them.

The business was negotiated, and the three of them paid the deposit on the spot.
