Chapter 439: If You Can't Beat It, Join
He is just a petty official who is not in the stream, and the Zuo family is not a wealthy celebrity, so he can't give him much help at all.
He just wants to seize this opportunity now, fight hard, and fight once.
The thing became that he rode the wind, and if it didn't work out, he lost his head.
"Okay, I'll give you 20,000 yuan, but I'll send an account office to take charge of the mine's finances.
If you are corrupt, my steel knife will not spare anyone.
Of course, if you can really do it, I will not only recommend it to my father, but also reward you with fifty yuan as a reward. β
Li Yanran stood up directly, her favorite is this kind of person.
I'm not afraid that you have desires, but I'm afraid that you can't bear it.
"Your Highness, rest assured, although my Zuo Yu is only a seven-grade class, I also know the Lu of the food monarch and the matter of loyalty to the king."
"Let's go, leave this place to Zuo Shaodian, I hope he won't let us down."
That's all said and done, Li Yanran has nothing else to say, so she got up directly and left with the people around her.
"Brother Li, you believe in that Zuo Yu like that?
I think he's just a slick clerk, embarrassed and useful.
Why don't you leave this place to me, and I promise that before winter, the output of the coal will reach the requirement of 100,000 stone per month. β
The eldest grandson Yan glanced at Li Yanran, in his opinion, what can a person from the seventh rank be capable of for a small official.
There's a guarantee here, and if it's really delayed, who will be responsible at that time.
"Over to you, over to you."
Li Yanran jumped up directly and knocked on his head again.
You're embarrassed to come here to do business, you have a few pounds of your own brain, don't you know?
The quality of people is also a household Shaodian, and they know more or less about these.
Do you know?
You know the.
"Oops, don't fight."
"Brother Li, I was wrong."
"Stop fighting, it hurts."
The eldest grandson Yan was beaten by Li Yanran, and he was depressed for a while.
I just want to relieve your worries, who would have thought that you would be so ruthless, what a fight.
"Sister, don't stop, hit him hard, hit him to make him remember it for a long time."
"Don't you know how many pounds and taels you have?"
"As far as you can endure, you still produce 100,000 stones a month, I think you look like 100,000 stones."
The eldest grandson Yan wailed, and Li Hong clapped his hands next to him.
Okay, you eldest grandson Yan, this king didn't ask Sister A for this errand, and you jumped out.
If I don't hit you, you really don't know how capable you are.
"Brother Li, why do you believe that Zuo Yu can do it?"
Li Siwen looked at the miserable eldest grandson Yan, and also frowned, which can be regarded as excusing him.
"Di Renjie, what do you think?"
Li Yanran temporarily let go of the eldest grandson Yan and glanced at Di Renjie.
"Your Highness, you have the wisdom to know people, although this Zuo Yu seems to be sleek, but judging from his answer.
He should have had the idea of expanding production before, otherwise it would not have been possible to come up with an answer of 20,000 yuan so quickly.
It is much better to have such an experienced and thoughtful person to be in charge than those of us who are new to take over. β
Di Renjie saluted directly to Li Yanran and said his thoughts.
"Do you hear that? There is a specialization in the art industry, and these things are temporarily handed over to Zuo Yu to be responsible.
Your task now is to hurry up and get the craftsmen of the fiefdom to make honeycomb coal stoves and transport briquettes to Lishan.
When the cold winter comes, it's time for us to let go of our hands and feet and do a big job.
If Zuo Yu's coal mine production is raised, and you don't do a good job here, I will directly break your legs. β
"Don't worry."
Several people also shuddered and saluted Li Yanran together.
After the group returned to Lishan, the entire fiefdom was in operation, not only the craftsmen of the fiefdom were doing, but the blacksmiths of Xinfeng County also received orders to make finished products according to the drawings.
With Li Yanran's full support, Zuo Yu instantly stood up and began to recruit miners, reinforce, and dig deep into the mine according to his previous plan.
For a while, countless people all poured over, although the miners are not good at work, but the wages they pay are high.
In order to make a living, let alone go down the mine, they are willing to do it no matter how hard and tired they are.
Who made these people the pillars of the family?
"Brother, I heard that Your Majesty recently rewarded the Lishan princess with the coal mines around Chang'an.
That Shaodian Zuo Yu also did not comply with the quota of the household department, and recruited manpower on a large scale, claiming to produce 100,000 stone of coal per month. β
Cui Yuqing came directly to his eldest brother's small house, and said to him excitedly after entering the door.
"You still want to make a move on Princess Lishan?"
Glancing at his brother, Cui Yuanxuan was also depressed.
How many times have you lost this, why can't you increase your memory?
also went to provoke others, and when the time came, it would be impossible to say that he would lose his wife and soldiers.
"This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, after all, although the coal is the private property of the royal family on the surface, it belongs to the household department.
His Majesty is already a bit rude to do this, and if he does not comply with the quota of the household department, this is all a problem and can be impeached. β
Cui Yuqing is now going to hate Li Yanran to death, he is losing face and losing people in the face of her, and the most important thing is that he even loses money.
I think when did he, the Cui family, stand in this Datang, suffer so many setbacks.
If this revenge is not avenged, he can't swallow this breath.
Evil spirit.
"You also said just now, the charcoal is owned by the royal family, so what is the fault of His Majesty in rewarding it to Princess Lishan?
Let's talk about the household, the quota is certain, but don't forget who is the current household book?
It's our good nephew, as long as he gives an order, the quota is not a problem.
Your impeachment will not hurt Princess Lishan at all, except for your own bad luck. β
Cui Yuanxuan sat on a small stone bench and poured a cup of tea for his brother.
"What do you mean by brother?"
Cui Yuqing sat in front of Cui Yuanxuan, looking at his brother, not knowing what he thought.
"Since this Lishan princess is our nemesis, why do you have to hit her headon?"
"Brother? You? β
Cui Yuqing frowned, his brother is talented, but he loves to hide too much.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to remain in such a position today.
"I have carefully referred to the history of this Lishan princess, from her founding of Lan Kwai Fong, to HΓ€agen-Dazs, to Shuren Teahouse.
And sofas, chairs, lottery tickets and now flying money.
It can be said that every step of her action is to make the impossible possible, as if she can perceive the heavens.
This son is not an enemy, and instead of thinking about how to impeach her, it is better to think about her intentions in doing so now. β
Cui Yuanxuan took a sip of tea and looked at his brother again.
"You mean to think about what she is going to do next, and then act before her, and you want to borrow her brain to make money for us?"
Cui Yuqing's mind turned, and he was stunned in an instant.
How dare my brother think about it?
It seems that he has been thinking about this Lishan princess a lot for so many days.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible to say such a thing.
"Yes, although charcoal can be burned, it has little effect.
I suspect that this Lishan princess must have some way to turn this charcoal into something that can be used on a large scale.
If this is the case, Chang'an alone can create more profits than you and I can imagine. β
Cui Yuanxuan nodded, although he didn't know why Li Yanran was going to tinker with the coal mine now, but one thing was certain.
Li Yanran has never made loss-making transactions, and now she is tinkering with this charcoal that everyone looks down on, and there must be profits beyond her imagination in it.
"I know, now what we have to do is not to make a noise and quietly hoard the charcoal on the market.
Then he sent people to infiltrate the Lishan Mountains and find out their magic methods.
In this way, you can take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money. β
Cui Yuqing stood up directly, his eyes full of excitement.
"Well, remember, you must not be known by others, otherwise I am afraid that Princess Lishan will find out, and she will be calculated by her again when the time comes."
Cui Yuanxuan glanced at the sky above his head, and for some reason he was very jealous of this princess.
Normally, it's not a good thing to get involved with her, let alone that this time they are going to steal business with each other.
One is not good, and it is impossible to say that it will be reversed by others.
"Don't worry."
Cui Yuqing drank all the tea in one gulp and hurriedly left.
Soon, the people of the Cui family began to buy briquettes in Chang'an City Square on a small scale, although it was only inadvertent, but the market is the market.
There was a fluctuation immediately, although the fluctuation was not large, but it was also noticed by someone with a heart.
When they found out that it was the Cui family that was buying, they immediately set off a frenzy of coal mine acquisitions.
Although everyone doesn't know why, but this thing is to buy up or down, and everyone feels that there is something in this coal.
"Your Highness, the coal mines in Chang'an have fluctuated, and now the price of coal has risen by at least 30% compared with before, according to this situation, it is possible to double before the winter."
Di Renjie came to Li Yanran.
Ever since he decided to sell honeycomb coal in winter, he has been paying attention to the price of coal in the market, and now that there are fluctuations, he will come over immediately.
"Isn't this something that no one wants? Why is there volatility? β
Hearing Di Renjie's words, a gleam flashed in Li Yanran's eyes.
Could it be that someone leaked their own situation and made someone pay attention to it?
Otherwise, who will go to this useless coal mine.
"According to the feedback in the market, there are many people who buy coal, and it is very miscellaneous.
The first to start should be the Cui family in the city, and then the three families of Wang Zheng and Lu, but it is not clear later. β
Di Renjie frowned, and he was a little confused about the current situation.
For no reason, did these families take medicine?
"Brother Li, there must be something strange in this, could it be that there is a spy in this fief?"
Li Siwen also frowned when he saw this, which made it clear that the family was looking for trouble.
It seems that they still don't remember to eat or not, and the beating they took last time was too light.
"Di Renjie, what do you think?"
If there is really a conspiracy, this is too bad.
The two armies are at war, and intelligence comes first.
If there is a problem with the intelligence on your side, then everything will be hindered.
"Your Highness, I think it's probably because the mine is exposed.
If Zuo Yu wants to do something, he will definitely make a big show and will not hide it.
The family has suffered so many losses from us, and this time it should have been aware of it in advance and knew the importance of the coal.
So I want to make a profit from us and recover the loss. β
Di Renjie looked at the letter in his hand and said slowly to Li Yanran.
"The family doesn't know the importance of the charcoal yet, it's just because of our actions that suspicions arise, so hehe."
After listening to Di Renjie's analysis, the corners of Li Yanran's mouth also showed a trace of coldness.
"Your Highness, what do you want to do?"
