Chapter 140: Cut the back road of the Zheng family
"My lord, Yun Gongzi said, let the adults be sure to take a look at the greeting post he sent, as well as the things he sent, he said that there will be a surprise for the adults!" The porter hurriedly said what Yun Zerang had said.
When the master and Lu Qing heard this, they glanced at each other and frowned, after the anger, the two quickly calmed down, and at this time, Yun Ze came to find it, but I am afraid that it is not so simple.
Although the two hated Yun Ze to the core, they also wanted to see what medicine was sold in Yun Ze's gourd.
He beckoned to the porter's servant, who brought the greeting and the things, and he opened the cloth bag and looked at the contents with a stunned expression.
The master on the side also looked over, and when he saw a few black round things in the cloth bag, he was also stunned.
They had never seen anything before, less than the size of a palm, almost a finger high, and the center of the thing was covered with holes like lotus roots.
In addition to the weird black stuff, there's what looks like a small stove, except that there's only a deep hole in the middle.
Confused, the two glanced at each other, and Lu Qing opened Yun Ze's post. What catches the eye is the words written by Yun Ze.
"Lord Prefect, Yun is here to send you money, and the things that were given to you are worth ten thousand gold, or even more. Compared with the Zheng family, the benefits that Yun brought to the prefect are not comparable to the Zheng family. If adults are worried about the affairs of the Zheng family, why don't we meet and talk! ”
Seeing the words on it, Lu Qing frowned and handed the greeting note to the master.
The master took the post, and after glancing at it, he looked up at Lu Qing and said, "My lord, you might as well let him come in and talk, no matter what he plans, it will have no impact on us, and, maybe, there is really a surprise." ”
He was more shrewd than Lu Qinglai, and even vaguely guessed Yun Ze's purpose for coming, but he couldn't figure out how Yun Ze wanted to persuade them to give up the Zheng family.
When Lu Qing heard this, he waved his hand to the servant and said, "Go and call someone in......"
The servant heard this. Hurriedly turned around and left. He came to the door and welcomed Yun Ze into the main hall. Seeing Yun Ze come in, the prefect's face was cold, and he said lightly:
"Yun Gongzi, I don't know why you came to my house." Although he was very unhappy with Yun Ze, he didn't dare to offend Yun Ze too much in person. After all, the people behind Yun Ze, if they can't afford it.
"Master Lu, Master Hu, be polite, I'm here to talk about a cooperation with the two, but before talking about cooperation, let Yun make a trick for the two."
Yun Ze arched his hand to the two, smiled slightly, and took out the contents of the bag when the two were stunned.
Yun Ze put some dry wood in it, Yun Ze put the stove in the middle, took out the fire fold, lit the fire, put it in it, and then put the honeycomb coal he made on it.
This thing was made by him recently, and after having these things, he doesn't need firewood at home for the time being. Save money and effort. Instead of burning wood, briquettes only need to be lit. There is no need to add additional materials to the fire.
You can even heat yourself in winter, but of course, the harm is that if you don't ventilate well, you will be poisoned by carbon monoxide and die! However, these are all small things, just pay attention.
Although Lu Qing and Master were annoyed by Yun Ze's almost rude behavior, Yun Ze's excitement still made them stunned for a while.
The two of them looked at Yun Ze burning coal there in astonishment, and when they saw the honeycomb coal being burned and the flames came out, their eyes widened.
They never imagined that this black thing could be used as fire. It looks like stone, not stone, but not wood. It still has such a function.
They looked at Yun Ze in shock, wanting to hear Yun Ze's explanation, although they didn't know what Yun Ze wanted to talk to them about.
Seeing that Yun Ze had such a magical method, the two of them faintly looked forward to it.
Or, Yun Ze was really able to surprise them.
"This is honeycomb coal, used to boil water for cooking, as long as you wake up the special stove, it is absolutely convenient and practical, and it is more time-saving and labor-saving than firewood. If you can do this business, you can definitely make a fortune. ”
Yun Ze smiled and said to Lu Qing and Master Hu. He brought honeycomb coal this time, but he was not worried at all that the two of them would find out what it was made of.
As long as he doesn't say it, no one will be able to know. Not to mention, how could people like Lu Qing and Master Hu who are scholars, who are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains, think of it.
"If it is mass production of energy, the entire Danyang City, or even the entire Jing Dynasty, do you think the profit will be less! Speaking of which, this thing is simple to make. The price can also be sold very cheaply, and every household can afford it, if it is really popular! The two of them thought ...... How is it! ”
Yun Ze looked at the shocked two again, and threw out another explanation that made their hearts move.
The two glanced at each other, although there was still suspicion in their eyes, but they were somewhat moved. However, they still looked at Yun Ze lightly, and Lu Qing snorted coldly:
"Yun Gongzi, this official is a scholar, how can he do that cheap thing, Yun Gongzi, please go back, you haven't been here today. Butler, send-off! ”
Following his voice, the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion walked up to Yun Ze and made a gesture of invitation to Yun Ze.
Yun Ze smiled faintly when he heard this, he had long expected that Lu Qing would not agree so happily, and he actually didn't think that the other party would agree at the first time.
He just came to give Lu Qing a choice, letting him know that in addition to the Zheng family, he still had a choice. Actually, there was no need for Yun Ze to come to Lu Qing.
As long as Ze is constantly reported by the world's newspapers on the Zheng family's evil deeds, or in less than three days, the entire Zheng family will be stinky in Danyang City.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and at that time, Lu Qing wanted to protect the Zheng family, but he was afraid that he might not dare to protect it. Yun Ze is for the sake of insurance, so as not to let the Zheng family escape, but also to get all the Zheng family's property.
Of course, the most important thing is that the development of his fiefdom is now in urgent need of coal, and the coal found in Longtou Mountain alone is no longer enough to support development. He wanted to use Lu Qing's identity to help him find a coal mine.
At that time, he only needs Lu Qing to help him find a coal mine, and as for the operation, of course, he will do it himself. Lu Qing would never dare to end up in person.
Even if it was his own family, he didn't dare to let them end. The main reason is that literati like them value fame the most.
There is an old saying that everything is inferior, only reading is high, like the ancient hierarchical society, the social status of farmers, businessmen, and merchants is the lowest. It is also considered the lowest.
It is because of their reputation that Lu Qing and Master Hu want to let the Zheng family help him make money, so Yun Ze can give Lu Qing benefits, as long as the other party helps him find a coal mine.
Although, these two guys are villains, but sometimes the villains use them well, and they are also a big help to themselves.
Yun Ze didn't say anything, he picked up the few remaining honeycomb coals, turned around and walked out. As soon as he walked out of the door, he turned back and said lightly to Lu Qing:
"Master Lu, what I said counts, when you figure it out, you can come to me...... However, only for three days! Late ......"
In the end, Yun Ze didn't say anything and left the Lu Mansion directly.
Seeing Yun Ze leave with the cloth bag, Lu Qing's face turned green, and he opened his mouth several times, wanting to keep Yun Ze. He thought that Yun Ze would leave the things behind, and he might be able to find someone to find out what the things Yun Ze sent were made of.
But who would have thought that Yun Ze was as fine as a monkey and didn't give him any chance. also let him let the Zheng family do this business.
Moreover, the threat in Yun Ze's last words made him tremble with anger, this kid was pinching him!? Who does he think he is!. He opened his mouth, wanting to go back, but in the end, he endured it angrily.
And Yun Ze took the things and rode away, as for the stove left on the Lu Mansion and the briquettes that were about to burn out, they were long gone, and if you want to find out the raw materials by relying on the briquettes that are about to be burned, in modern times, it is absolutely simple to be able to find out.
But in ancient times, the possibility of wanting to find out is extremely low, after all, people in this era are afraid that they don't even know what coal is.
As Yun Ze returned home, the entire Danyang City at this time had already received an issue of newspaper that had been supplemented today. When they saw what the Zheng family had done in the newspaper, everyone immediately hated it.
Under Yun Ze's teaching, Lu Cheng wrote the Zheng family almost heinously. It soon resonated with the people. Some people are even thinking about going to Zheng's restaurant to make trouble.
I don't dare to make trouble in person, but I secretly poured feces at Zheng's restaurant, or it was very windowy. Or drag the servants of the Zheng family to a small alley and beat them.
He scolded the Zheng family even more in his mouth. Almost overnight, the Zheng family became the target of public criticism. The servants of the Zheng family did not dare to go out. The Zheng family's father and son were also attacked, and they were almost not gagged.
Moreover, overnight, Zheng's restaurant was burned down by two people, although the fire was discovered early, and it did not spread to the houses next to it, but it also made Zheng's restaurant almost burn down.
A few others were smashed to the point that no one could be found. The entire Danyang people scold the Zheng family for being brutes, and they abound!
The power of public opinion has finally been revealed. And the next day, Lu Qing and Master Hu finally learned the dynamic news of the entire Danyang City.
When they heard that the ugly things of the Zheng family were now known all over the city, even if the people couldn't do anything to the Zheng family, Lu Qing and the master were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
If the people just make trouble, after a while, it will subside, but if this matter is stabbed in the capital, the two of them are afraid that there is only one way to die.
Lu Qing and the master finally panicked, and at the first time, they thought of abandoning the Zheng family. Moreover, the two of them also vaguely knew that Yun Ze was behind all this.
Although they were angry in their hearts, they could not do anything about it. Only a strong sense of powerlessness remains. Let him go and seal Yunze's newspaper, do they have the guts!?
Luo Xuan was the first to refuse, if he stabbed this matter to the king of Danyang County again, the consequences would be unimaginable. For the first time, they felt the horror of Yun Ze.
