I am the king of the dead

Chapter 365 God-given opportunity to make a fortune

Zhu Qiyu left Nanjing City at this time, naturally to give Xu Chengzong and Lu Zhong a stage, and let the insects see what ghost tricks are.

The emperor is in the capital, Xu Chengzong, the Duke of Wei, is not very good at doing things arbitrarily.

As for whether the insects will be unlucky if they don't listen to the advice and stick to their own way, this is not Zhu Qiyu's concern.

He is more concerned about the progress of the saddle factory.

Zhu Qiyu finally walked to the saddle factory under the darkness.

Ma'an Factory and Jianghuai Factory are mainly responsible for the supply of coal and iron materials around Nanjing and Hangzhou.

Because of the large number of prisoners in the camp, the daily output of coal was nearly 1000 million catties, or about [-] tons.

Zhu Qiyu was standing on the mountainside, the sun was already dusk, the wind became a bit colder, and the sky was overcast as if it was going to snow.

Wang Qiang finally finished his work and came to pick him up when he had time.

Zhu Qiyu gave too many test scores, and he had to work hard day and night.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for coming late." Wang Qian bowed his head and said, although his face was tired, he was still smiling.

Zhu Qiyu motioned to Wang Zhiping, looked at the joy on his face and asked curiously: "What makes Wang Shilang so happy?"

"Your Majesty, please come with your servants." Wang Xie straightened his sleeves and came to a coal yard, which was covered with black ash. Zhu Qiyu, Wang Xie and the others all put on masks.

Wang Qiang said with emotion: "Your Majesty, the poor don't have enough firewood, so they can only let the cold rain and wind push them down. They never cook soup, and only eat cold dishes for many years."

"In the Tang Dynasty, Meng Jiao lamented in "Bitter Cold Yin": Knocking on a stone will not make fire, and strong yin will take away positive yang."

"In the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuo couldn't afford firewood, so he had to destroy his car to pay his salary, and dismantled his family's car to make a fire to keep warm."

"During the Southern Song Dynasty, Han Yu also said: "The family is poor and there is no one to collect firewood."

"Chai, rice, oil and salt, the word Chai is the first word. I think that the coal mined by the official smelter should be based on small profits and high sales, rather than high profits and low sales."

Wang Xie was born in Juren, although he was not as eloquent as Li Xian and the others, but Wang Xie still cared about living beings and benefited the people.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "I also have the same intention."

When Wang Cheng said this, it was natural that there were some things to be determined, and everyone worked together to push this big cart of Daming forward.

Wang Cheng looked at the stacked coals and said with a sigh: "Your Majesty, coal is a daily need of the people. If the government refines it, some people will say: If the government supervises it, the value will double. How can every family live in peace?"

"For example, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Huizong set up more than [-] official sales of charcoal, each weighing [-] catties, and each weighing [-] yuan."

"The imperial court has benefited a lot. During the Daguan period, under the city of Kaifeng, the roads were full of frozen bones, and the people complained."

In the Song Dynasty, the monopoly of coal and coal was a big business in the Song Dynasty, and it was also the main source of income for the court in the Song Dynasty.

Originally, the government-run franchise had existed since the Shaofu of the Qin Dynasty, but at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was an important Nikkei issue for courtiers to persuade the emperor.

How expensive was Song Huizong Zhao Ji, so that the people froze to death under the capital city?
Fifteen catties per scale, three thousand cash per scale, and two hundred cash per catty of coal!
At that time, the price of wheat was fifteen cents a bucket, and the price of rice was thirty yuan a bucket, and a bucket was about twelve catties.

Song Huizong sold coal for nothing.

According to the fact that Kaifeng Mansion added coal fires on the first day of October and removed the fires on the first day of February, each household needed about a thousand catties of coal to survive the winter.

One smelt of five catties of coal requires two hundred mints for more than a thousand catties.

Two hundred copper coins, left from the late Northern Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, can be exchanged for 100 taels of silver!
This price is really too scary.

Therefore, as soon as the imperial court started the official franchise, people would immediately talk about Song Huizong's supervision of coal, Song Gaozong's Lin'an manure bully, and the business of collapsed houses.

Therefore, when Wang Qiang talked about the saddle factory, he first advised His Majesty to make small profits and high sales instead of high profits and small sales.

Zhu Qiyu asked suspiciously: "How much is our coal frying?"

"Six coins." Wang Qian bowed his head and said.

Zhu Qiyu frowned and said: "Six qian, a family needs [-] qian to spend the winter, roughly three silver dollars."

"Still too expensive."

Even with the generous rewards of the Beijing Camp, there are only about [-] silver coins per year, and three silver coins are still too much.

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, firewood is the first word, it really makes sense.

Wang Cheng said without any panic, "Your Majesty thinks it's too expensive, and so do I!"

"But the price is already very low. I thought of a way to lower the price."

It's really not expensive.

The Northern Song Dynasty specialized in selling coal for [-] yuan per catty, and the coal of the Daming Guanye was [-] yuan per catty. Isn’t the price of coal in Daming cheap?
But Wang Qian thought of another way to lower the price a bit.

"It's a matter of people's livelihood, and it's worth a penny." Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Cheng's expression and said confidently.

The people are in poverty, and they have experienced the rebellion of the rebels. If there is a penny less, it will be a penny.

Wang Xie led the crowd to the side of the coal and said with a smile: "I add chaotic loess to it, one catty of coal is eighty percent broken coal and two is two loess, and then add some water to shape it and make holes to get this coal cake. "

"Compared with coal frying, it is more fire-resistant and lasts longer, but because of the holes, the heat is not damaged."

Although Wang Qian added loess to the coal, because there are holes, the combustion is more complete, and the calorific value is not much loss compared to coal frying.

This is because coal frying, that is, small coal lumps, has not been screened, and there is coal gangue in it.

A kind of black stone that cannot burn, but instead blocks the fire door and causes the coal to burn incompletely.

Zhu Qiyu held the palm-sized, half-high briquette and looked at it for a long time. He had seen this thing before, and it should be called briquettes or briquettes!

However, the beacon coal still has an ignition layer, but this briquette does not have it at all.

The loess is used to shape and resist fire, and filling in [-]% of the loess can indeed effectively reduce the price of coal.

"If the price of coal is like this, you can save a penny." Wang Qian said with his head bowed.

Wang Qian led the crowd to continue walking, and came to a pile of coal stoves. Pointing to the coal stoves less than two feet high, he said with a smile, "There are coal cake stoves, bricks in the furnace, and coal cake tongs."

"Four or five briquettes can be burned for a day, and they can also cook and boil water."

"Even if you can't afford a briquette stove, you can stack one with bricks and stones at home. The structure is not complicated."

"However, the flue must be specially set up to prevent the coal from being poisoned."

Fire coal poisoning, carbon monoxide poisoning, specially set up flue, dredging regularly to ensure safe use.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the small coal stove and nodded again and again. This thing is cast, just as Wang Qian said, even if you don't want to buy a coal cake stove, you can make one yourself with bricks and stones.

Zhu Qiyu nodded repeatedly and said, "Good thing! Good thing!"

The cold wave has arrived, Zhu Qiyu wrapped his body in a big cloak, looked at the cold wind howling outside the window, he even had the illusion that he was in Beiya, is the cold wind in Nanjing also so cold?
Zhu Qiyu only felt a chill on his face, he looked up, the sky did not know when it got up, and there were snowflakes.

Mr. Lu Xun once said: "The rain in warm countries has never turned into cold, hard and brilliant snowflakes; the snow in the south of the Yangtze River is extremely moist and beautiful."

"After the snowflakes in Shuofang fly, they will always be like powder, like sand. They will never stick together. They will be scattered on the house, the ground, and the withered grass. That's it."

This is the difference between the snow in the north and the south, because the north is cold and the snow does not condense, but the snow in the south is moist and beautiful.

But Zhu Qiyu didn't feel the beauty of Nanfangxue at all, he only felt the bursts of dry and cold air similar to Beiya, the whistling of the wind, and the whirling of snowflakes in the air like knives that cut into the bones, which made people feel chill.

Zhu Qiyu was very sure that this was not snow from the south, but without a doubt, it was snow from the north.

Soon the small snowflakes turned into heavy snowflakes, and the sky and the earth were scattered one after another. As soon as the wind blew, the snowflakes depicted the shape of the wind and flew into the distance.

"How many catties of coal do we have now?" Zhu Qiyu asked in a low voice with a sharp look in his eyes.

"From Henan, Shandong and other places, plus Maan Factory, Jianghuai Factory and other places, [-] million catties can enter Beijing within five days." Looking at the white sky, Wang Qian looked horrified. Is there such a heavy snow in the south?

One hundred million catties of coal is about 30 tons, and there are about 15 households in Nanjing City, and the total needs are about [-] tons of coal.

Zhu Qiyu stood in the wind and snow for a long time without saying a word, calculated the accounts in his mind for a long time, and then said: "It's still not enough, I want [-] million catties."

The faces of Wang Qiang and the others changed drastically. They looked around and kept silent. This is not what His Majesty wants, so they can give it.

Now the coal miners in the Ma'an Factory and the Jianghuai Factory are more than 2000 prisoners of war. Each person produces [-] catties of coal a day, and the maximum daily coal production is [-] million catties.

It is true that [-] million catties of coal can be produced in ten days, but what about sending it from the Saddle Factory and Jianghuai Factory to Nanjing City?

And it's snowing now.

This smooth road is also a big trouble.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and said: "Within ten days, if the remaining [-] million catties of coal can be transported to Beijing on schedule, I can forgive them for three months of hard labor."

"Even if it is within five days, I will forgive you for two months."

He is now continuing to send coal to Beijing, and the ten days of hard work are equal to two months of hard labor.

Zhu Qiyu exchanged hard labor for production.

Hearing this, Wang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head and said, "The minister has to ask for an order to open Tongji Gate, Guanghua Gate, and Chaoyang Gate at night to transport coal into Liudu, Nanjing, and open the gates of all prefectures and counties to transport coal for frying, Slime and such."

After Shi Heng heard this, he thought for a moment and bowed his head and said, "I would like to ask you to dispatch the fire cards, take care of the prisoners of war, and use the military law to sit in front of the battle!"

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Yes."

The coal in Nanjing Liudu was hoarded in the old camps of Habayashi Zuowei and Habayashi Youwei in the imperial city.

Nanjing Liudu can enter the imperial city directly from Chaoyang Gate, and accumulate coal in the imperial city for distribution.

Zhu Qiyu held the coal, but didn't put a catty out.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and looked at the sky. There was already a cold wave, and the snowstorm was coming. The insects in Nanjing City were afraid that a group of demons would dance around.

In the early morning of the next day, the snow still hadn't stopped, and the snow was already a foot thick. The outer lakes of the West Lake and the Yangtze River had begun to freeze completely.

The whole world was a vast expanse of whiteness, but the entire official road was full of captives clearing the snow and sergeants of the Fourth Armed Forces Battalion.

The snow is not cold, the melting snow is cold.

Zhu Qiyu drove back to Beijing.

The official road is not slippery, but Zhu Qiyu walked for a whole day for the distance of one hundred miles, and it was not until evening that he came to Zhengyang Gate.

Inside Zhengyangmen is Hongwumen, and inside Hongwumen is Chengtianmen.

This is the gate of Nanjing Liudu, Ming Dynasty.

Xu Chengzong knelt in the snow, his whole body was almost covered by snow, it seemed that he had knelt for a long time.

Seeing the car stopped in front of him, Xu Chengzong said tremblingly, "I'm going to die."

Zhu Qiyu got out of the car, stomped his feet and asked, "What's the crime?"

On the one hand, Xu Chengzong's coldness is because kneeling in the snow is really cold, and on the other hand, he is really scared.

Incompetent work.

He shouted tremblingly: "Although I have used a lot, ah! I have used a lot of methods, but it is snowing, and there is nothing I can do."

Originally, after Xu Chengzong's threat from the Yanyun Building, the doors of the shops were opened, and the business roads were unblocked. If it was just a cold wave, his method was enough.

However, with the heavy snowfall, the price of coal rose accordingly, from eight cents to sixteen cents, and it continued to soar.

At this time, Xu Chengzong became helpless.

These people have gone crazy.

They frantically hoarded fried coal, sixteen cents a catty, and they ate all of it. In just one day, it doubled, and it will continue to rise.

Zhu Qiyu is aware of the situation in Nanjing City, and even the power of the rich and wealthy businessmen in Nanjing City to hoard coal has spread to Luzhou and Hangzhou.

The coal market in Nanjing has formed a siphon phenomenon in financial affairs, and countless coal explosions have begun to come to Nanjing.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but recall that when he was in Beijing, the price of coal would rise from eight or nine coins to more than 30 coins per catty in winter.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "It's not your fault, get up. Is this the first time Wei Guogong has seen such a heavy snow?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Xu Chengzong stood up, trembling and said: "This is the first time I see it."

"So, for them, this is a godsend opportunity!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile:

"good."

Zhu Qiyu patted Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong's arm, knocked off some snowflakes on his body, and said with a smile: "After all, a small road is a small road. It can be used for a while, but it can't be used forever. Wei Guogong still needs to learn a lot about the road in the future."

"Three times the benefits, there will be lawlessness. They have been blinded by the benefits."

Xu Chengzong bowed his head and said: "I would like to follow the instructions."

In the future, I will read the financial affairs of the mansion newspaper every day. Your Majesty's financial affairs are indeed a great journey.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Such a heavy snow, a god-given opportunity to make a fortune!"

Is it their golden opportunity to make a fortune, or Zhu Qiyu's golden opportunity to make a fortune?

This involves the question of who knows better about financial affairs.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Go back, I will do the next thing."

"I will leave." Xu Chengzong bowed his head and left.

Zhu Qiyu entered the city, first went to the back mountain of the Forbidden City, and looked at the coal mountain. There is no Longevity Mountain in Nanjing, but at this time the coal has piled up like a mountain.

In about 15 days, about [-] tons of coal will be collected and distributed here.

Lu Zhong asked fiercely: "Your Majesty, do you want to do it now? Confiscate the house and destroy the family?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "No need, do you know what is the greatest tragedy in a person's life? Is it because the person is gone and the money is not spent?"

"No, the people are still there, but the money is gone."

A fierceness flashed across Zhu Qiyu's eyes.

The reason they hoarded so rampantly this time is that almost all merchants participated in it.

This kind of collective behavior cannot be punished by the law, because the law does not blame the public.

But Zhu Qiyu can make them bankrupt, which is worse than death!
From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Every day in this world is a struggle.
