240. Coaxing... price

"Huh?"

The charcoal seller looked up and froze in place.

Zishou said again: "How to sell this charcoal." ”

"This, this..."

The charcoal seller stumbled, which reminded Zishou of Shen Gongbao half a year ago.

"How much is this?"

The charcoal seller snorted: "Grass...."

Zishou frowned, why are you still scolding?

"Grass .. The grass people give it to Your Majesty! This charcoal, no money, no money! Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming!"

Since Ding Ce coined the term grass people, people have gradually accepted the term.

The grass is good! It is tough, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

Zishou frowned, and the negative effect of public execution can be seen from the charcoal seller.

Your Majesty?

Everyone can hear the fear in these words.

And this kind of fear can easily turn into resentment under provocation.

Zishou Zhengse said: "I ask you, how many pounds of charcoal is." ”

The charcoal seller didn't dare to say anything for a long time, could it be true that he really wanted to collect money from the king?

He didn't dare take it! Is there still a life to live?

Will it be sent to Ling Chi or beheaded?

Yin Rui saw that the charcoal seller was about to pee his pants, and he couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "This charcoal is two pounds and two pennies." ”

Zishou was stunned: "Two texts?

Is this charcoal cheaper than cardia?

Zishou's eyes fell on Yin's dilapidated and crooked steps.

Yin Po also realized the problem: "It should be three dollars and a catty, the minister understands this loyalty and righteousness, and it is always cheaper when he buys it." ”

There was pride in the words.

Zishou nodded: "Well, five wen a catty, rounding it up is ten wen a catty, and then about a cent, it is one hundred wen a catty." ”

"Come, Lao Yin, weigh this cart of charcoal, you are not allowed to lack two catties, one catty is one hundred wen, there is a shortage of charcoal in the palace, I want it all. ”

Yin was stunned on the spot, is this lack of charcoal?

What he clearly said was three and a catty, and His Majesty not only listened to it as five articles, but also rounded it off, and also made an appointment, what is this?

Three texts directly became one hundred texts?

How can charcoal be so expensive?

Zishou signaled Yin to hurry up and weigh.

This was a plan he had set up a long time ago.

Bai Juyi wrote an article about selling charcoal.

It is about the miserable life of the people at the bottom who were exploited at that time.

By depicting the tragic experience of the charcoal seller, the corrupt nature of the palace is profoundly exposed, and the ruler's crime of plundering the people is given a powerful lash and criticism.

It stands to reason that if you learn what the palace people wrote in the charcoal seller, you can just tear up a rag and replace it with a cart of charcoal, which is indeed a mediocre value.

However, it can't be drawn, it's too much of a loss.

Zishou summed up the weight in the previous few mediocre value settlements, people of different status have different weights, and it is better to let ten people scold themselves for being a faint monarch than for a nobleman to scold themselves for being a faint monarch.

And with the artificial god Meng Jiangnu, Zishou didn't dare to make up a charcoal seller opera casually, the story of the charcoal seller couldn't be passed on, only a few people knew about it, and the mediocrity didn't make much money at all.

So, he had to do the opposite and buy charcoal at a high price.

The common people cut wood and burned charcoal and rarely used it themselves, and most of the consumers of charcoal were nobles and princes.

Heating, copper smelting, all need a lot of charcoal.

As long as the charcoal is bought at a high price and the price of charcoal is raised, the nobles and princes will inevitably scold.

Why are you raising the price of charcoal so high?

Sanwen has been raised to 100 Wen, and this is only the first time that the price has been raised!

Soon, Yin Rui liquidated the catty of the whole vehicle of charcoal.

"Your Majesty, a total of nine hundred and thirteen pounds. ”

Zi was scratched his ears and said, "One thousand catties! One thousand catties is one catty and one hundred wen, which is one hundred pounds." ”

The charcoal seller wants to slip away, and he has always had to go without food or drink for three or four months, as for a hundred yuan....

How dare he take it!

Zishou waved his hand and instructed Yin to be defeated: "Catch it!"

How can the old man compare his speed with the big fat man, Yin Rui can roll faster than him.

The charcoal seller sighed in his heart, it's over.

Is this to give me a random price increase, to expire the king's charges, and then cut down?

It is rumored in the market that the king is scheming, and it is indeed worthy of his reputation.

Treat yourself for the crime of bullying, you don't have to pay a hundred times, this car of charcoal is also in vain, and there is nothing more than this.

I thought that I had been chopping wood and burning charcoal in the mountains all year long, and my face was covered with dust.

The smoke burned his face the color of charcoal, his temples were gray, and his ten fingers were also blackened by charcoal.

Sorrowful!

What is the money from the sale of charcoal used for?

It's not to buy the clothes you wear and the food you eat in your mouth, but I pity myself for wearing single clothes and coming to the market to sell charcoal for heating, just hoping to get something from my work for a year, but I didn't expect it....

This kind of thing happened.

The charcoal seller came from the sorrow, but looking at the three hundred hill-like guards, he had to close his eyes and be killed.

After a long time, the charcoal seller opened his eyes to see what his body looked like.

Just then, a guard came running out of breath from the direction of the palace.

"Your Majesty, this is two hundred times. ”

"Okay, well done! Enjoy the wine pond meat forest!" Zishou nodded with satisfaction, took out a hundred guan and handed it to the charcoal seller: "You can go, do business, and still want to run away without collecting money?"

The charcoal seller pushed the cart in a daze, but he didn't want to be called down again.

"Wait. ”

Zishou took a few steps forward, and the charcoal seller became nervous again, and the ups and downs of life came too quickly.

Zishou threw out the usual money: "This car is for me to keep." ”

After that, he pushed the cart and pulled it to Yin Rui's hand: "Yin Rui." ”

Yin Rui immediately became serious: "The minister is here." ”

"You buy charcoal here, a pound of 100 wen, how much you collect. ”

"Minister..."Yin was speechless for a while, how much did he charge? How much does this cost?

However, the guards were the most loyal, and Yin was not hesitant to do so, and responded: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Very good.

Satisfied, Zishou continued to look for a target in the market.

If you want to raise the price of charcoal, the princes and nobles will complain, and it is far from enough to buy a cart of charcoal.

It is necessary to buy a large amount of Chaoge charcoal, so that the price of charcoal in the entire Chaoge skyrockets, and even buys it to the point where supply exceeds demand!

Those nobles with fine skin and tender meat can't stand the days when they don't burn charcoal in the winter!

Such a drastic increase in prices would have made the courtiers inevitably disagree, but it didn't matter.

Money, out of your own.

There are many precious jade, bronze and porcelain in the palace, such as the copper tripod of Chengtang, the jade gui of Pangeng, and the porcelain vase of Wuding....

All of them can be sold!

It doesn't matter if no one dares to buy it, then all the bronzes in the palace will be melted and minted.

I'm not afraid that the time will be too late, let Luo Xuan go to work, how many bronzes there are, how much melting.

I have a hundred ways to make mediocrity!

Soon, Zishou found a second target, which was the hunting team's fixed stall in the market.

The snake catcher was standing here hawking, and among them was an intact tiger corpse.

Occasionally, the hunting team can hunt one or two tigers, and the tigers are treasures and are extremely easy to sell.

Zishou fell in love with this tiger at a glance, because it was very ordinary, and even its size was smaller than that of ordinary tigers.

The more ordinary the tiger, the more valuable it is for a grand burial.

In this way, a huge contrast will be formed, if it is a white tiger scenery buried by the previous hunting, maybe people will compete to worship it!
