It is not easy for Zhu Gaochi to go out of the city alone, and he needs to obtain the consent of Princess Yan, of course, he will not waste time.

A temporary room.

The atmosphere in the room was a little tense.

The eldest prince is approachable, and those who are familiar with him will recognize him, and those who are not familiar with the character of the eldest prince will be afraid.

The other party is a nobleman.

They were on an equal footing with the nobles.

"The old way is too slow."

on the ground of the iron-smelting place.

More than 20 coal bosses who participated in the production and sale of coal stoves and honeycomb coal gathered together under the auspices of the eldest prince.

Among the businessmen present, only Zhang Dehui was not panicked at all.

On the contrary, it seems to be somewhat enjoyable.

All day.

Is there still a noble man like the eldest prince who makes a kind gesture to ordinary people in his heart?

Wrong.

There are also people who are close to the people.

But it's not as sincere as the eldest prince.

In the heart of the eldest prince, it seems that there is really no idea of superiority and inferiority.

Whether it is officials, craftsmen, businessmen, or ordinary people, they are all treated equally and equally, which makes people often subconsciously ignore the identity of the eldest prince of the other party's Yan Wangfu.

So Zhang Dehui likes to stay by the side of the eldest prince very much.

This spiritual pleasure was extremely satisfying to him.

Looking at the peers around him, his tense body was tense, Zhang Dehui felt proud in his heart, he was a sober person.

"The people don't know about coal stoves and honeycomb coal, so no matter how they sell them, they can't move the people with words."

People are not familiar with him.

Zhang Dehui at the beginning was even more nervous than everyone who saw him for the first time.

Zhu Gaochi is too lazy to talk nonsense.

After a long time of contact, they will naturally get used to it like Zhang Dehui.

"What good plan did the eldest prince come up with?" Zhang Dehui deliberately said.

"Then send it."

"Find one or two families on each street, give them coal stoves and honeycomb coal, and use them as demonstrations."

"The people have seen the benefits with their own eyes, and they don't need to promote it, they will naturally buy it."

……

The coal bosses looked at each other.

Is it possible for a business to do this?

Some people subconsciously resist.

Where do nobles understand the way of cost and benefit, it is just a temporary interest.

One day he lost interest, and he turned around and left, leaving only chicken feathers in the ground.

Finally.

Someone plucked up the courage to raise concerns.

"Honeycomb coal and coal stoves are sold cheaply, not much profit, and before the trade is opened, I send out a lot of them, but I am afraid that I will lose money."

"yes, yes."

"If the eldest son is not satisfied, the students can let the guys in the store promote it when they see customers, which will inevitably increase sales."

If you don't do business in the skin of a scholar, the road will not be smooth.

Zhang Dehui is an example.

So merchants are also businessmen and scholars.

The powerful ones even have the fame of raising people.

There are a lot of talents.

When the Ming Dynasty opened the country, there was a lack of talents.

Therefore, lifting people can be high-ranking officials.

There are also those who do Shangshu.

It's just that after more than 20 years of development, the identity of lifting people in the officialdom is becoming more and more difficult, and it is pure luck to want to rely on people to become high-ranking officials.

Xiucai is not to mention.

But there is no future in officialdom, which does not mean that the status of fame is not good.

"If it's just a coal furnace and honeycomb coal business, it's true for a short time, but honeycomb coal is not a one-shot deal." Zhu Gaochi explained.

He could also choose to force it down.

But the situation is not up to anyone.

In case it makes a big deal and it is easy to cause trouble, he may not be able to afford the consequences.

And it's obviously a good thing, so why do it be a bad thing.

Bureaucracy is unacceptable.

"As long as the people use coal stoves, the honeycomb coal will be bought every month, every year, which is equivalent to using the money to buy firewood to buy honeycomb coal."

"Such a huge amount of silver, you should be able to calculate it."

When everyone heard this, they felt that what the eldest prince said was reasonable.

But there are still people who are worried.

The workers who make honeycomb coal are a sum of money, and the transportation of honeycomb coal to the city is a large expense.

Count the cost of clay, coal, etc.

The market is indeed huge.

It seems to be a trade in a huge amount of silver, but it is purely a small profit and quick turnover.

Intensive industries.

Spend more effort, the profit is there, but it is not to the point of exaggeration, for each of their own businesses, it is just an extra addition.

Purely want to make a fortune from this business.

Only the little people can get rich.

And they were originally coal mill owners, and for their net worth, they did not invest a lot of energy.

Zhu Gaochi sighed secretly.

That's why he's reluctant to get involved.

With a lot of labor and costs, there are a lot of problems that are easy to encounter, but the benefits are not abundant, and even the mine owner can't look down on him, let alone him.

The same is true for the rest of the world.

Honeycomb coal is generally sold in towns and cities by local households.

For ordinary people, it is a cause worth investing in, but for businessmen, it is of little value.

But the productivity of Daming is low, and the people do not have this strength.

"You're dumbfounded."

Zhang Dehui interrupted the silence.

When it comes to business, he has to come forward.

It's just like being able to perform in front of the eldest prince again.

He understands the mind of the eldest prince, and it is precisely because he understands the thoughts of the eldest prince that he feels that the eldest prince is right.

The reason why he didn't convince his peers was that the eldest son's breakthrough was not right.

"Where does the coal come from?"

"From the mines."

"Whose business is the mine?"

"If you think that the benefits of the honeycomb coal business outweigh the losses, you can wait for the promotion and then sell it to small businessmen."

"Think about it, in the future, all the people in Beiping Mansion will switch to honeycomb coal, so our mines will still be sold?"

"I'm afraid that supply exceeds demand."

Zhang Dehui saw that many people were moved, and began to promote his factory again.

"The steam engine asks you to buy more, and you don't want to buy it."

"Hmph."

Sneered twice.

"In the future, the people will switch to honeycomb coal, and the output of mines that do not use steam engines can compare with others."

"When the time comes, you can only watch others make money."

……

There was silence.

Zhang ...... Zhang Dongjia said very much. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief.

But in a blink of an eye, there are still people who are not convinced and are unwilling to open their mouths to support.

He couldn't figure it out.

The real benefits are all in front of you, and those who do business will be so stubborn?

"No one wants to cheat."

Zhang Dehui broke through these people's little ninety-nine.

"Thinking of letting others do it, the market is open, and I hide behind and curry favor."

"Make a rule today."

"All of you present, if you agree, you will make an oath, the road is opened by us, and the coal mines used for honeycomb coal in the future can only be provided by our mines."

"Whoever dares to break the rules, we will beat him together."

Everyone looked at each other.

They do have thugs.

But in front of the nobles, is it appropriate to be so public?
