God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 533

Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong talked, and they couldn't wait to go outside.

Changsun Wuji asked his servants to get a basket of briquettes made by Beast King Mountain, and then went to the kitchen and asked the cook to light the fire first. After the fire was completely burned, Changsun Chong couldn't wait to throw all the dozen briquettes into it.

The firewood that was burning vigorously suddenly went out, and the whole kitchen was filled with thick smoke.

"Cough cough cough..."

Everyone was choked and coughed violently.

Changsun Wuji pushed Changsun Chong aside angrily: "Let me do it!"

Changsun Wuji went into battle himself, and within a short time, he even ignited the coal balls.

In a short time, there was no firewood, and a flame ignited in the stove, which was no worse than firewood.

Everyone was overjoyed.

Chang Sun Chong said happily: "Father, it's done, it's done...you see, it's done!"

……

The next morning.

The eldest grandson's family announced that they would replace firewood with briquettes made in Beastmaster Mountain, and began to sell them on a large scale.

People who could not buy firewood and charcoal with money, at this time bought the briquettes from Changsun's family suspiciously, took them home for a try, and found that this stuff is better than wood, but the price is a bit more expensive. Two pennies each.

On that day, Sikong Mansion sold thousands of briquettes.

Seeing that the business is getting better and better, the Changsun family, together with the big households in Chang'an City, decided to increase the price of coal briquettes, from two yuan to three yuan each.

Although the common people are not happy, but in order not to be frozen to death and to be able to eat at home, they have to buy it. It is cheaper than firewood, isn't it?

The business of selling briquettes in Changsun's family became more and more successful, earning more and more money, so Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong decided to increase production and hired another thousand craftsmen to make briquettes in Lantian.He voted [-] yuan in one go, planning to get a big one.

The method of making briquettes at the Beastmaster Mountain Coal Mine is very primitive. It uses iron molds and smashes them out one by one manually. The cost of each briquette is about 2 yuan, which is not low.

The Sikong Mansion and the big households in Chang'an reached a consensus. With the influence of the Sikong Mansion, no one dared to say no.

On this day, the Sikong Mansion held a big banquet and invited many big households to the mansion for a happy gathering.

The atmosphere is happy and harmonious, and everyone seems to have seen the prospect of coal. It used to be black soil that no one wanted, but now it has become a necessity of people's life. There are endless opportunities to make money.

……

While the Sikong Mansion was full of brilliant lights and bustling, the Banshan College was a little deserted.

A few days ago, Banshan College announced that it would be a holiday for one and a half months.

Once a large number of students left, the huge college seemed a little empty.

On the sports field, there is a vast expanse of whiteness.

Du He and Li Yuanshu walked side by side.

The shoes creaked as they stepped on the snow.

After a while, Li Yuanshu said: "Nowadays, people in Chang'an City are crazy about briquettes. Even the emperor is full of praise for the sale of briquettes in Sikong Mansion... But, the countless briquettes that our Lantian Coal Mine has hoarded , but no one is paying attention... Is this a failure?"

In Li Yuanshu's eyes, there was a bit of disappointment.

Originally, Dream Group was full of confidence in Lantian Coal Mine.

Unexpectedly, it was preempted by the big households of Sikong Mansion and Chang'an City.

Now, no one pays attention to Lantian Coal Mine.

Hearing this, Du He didn't stop, and said with a slight smile, "It seems that I underestimated Sikong's mansion, but it's true, this coal can burn, and people discovered it thousands of years ago...I produce coal balls with such a great fanfare, Sikong Naturally, the government can guess my purpose... This is Jiehu!"

"Cutting Hu? This metaphor is really appropriate!"

Li Yuanshu pursed her lips and smiled.

Cut Hu, originally a term for playing mahjong.

Now, the big households in Sikong Mansion and Chang'an City are trying to cut off the beards.

After a pause, Li Yuanshu said, "Aren't you angry?"

"Why are you angry?"

"Aren't you sad?"

"Why are you sad?"

Li Yuanshu: "..."

I just heard Du He say: "It's not certain who will have the last laugh."

After saying that, he turned around and left, walked a long way, and said to Li Yuanshu, "Yuanshu, it will be colder tonight, why don't you sit in the principal's courtyard?"

Seeing Du He's malicious smile, Li Yuanshu's face turned red, "Hmph, I'm ignoring you!"

After speaking, he turned and ran away.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, as soon as Du He woke up, Old Fu ran over and said, "Young master...the eldest grandson will see you soon."

Changsun Chong?
Du He was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately, an indescribable smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

He seemed to have guessed the purpose of Chang Sun Chong's visit.

Du He smiled and said, "Please!"

Not long after, Chang Sun Chong came to the hall.

Chang Sun Chong brought two servants, and after he sat down, he said straight to the point: "Du He, Ming people don't talk dark words, I came to you this time to discuss something important?"

Du He was amused, and said: "The important thing that the eldest grandson said, could it be that you have taken a fancy to the girl with yellow flowers?"

The eldest son of a playboy, Sun Chong, loves to search for big girls and young wives all over the street.

Chang Sun Chong said unhappily: "Du He, tell me, in your eyes, am I just that unbearable?"

Du He asked, "True or false?"

"Of course it's true."

"To be honest, in my eyes, you are worthless!"

Chang Sun Chong: "..."

He almost ran away.

If it wasn't for asking Du He, he would have been angry long ago.

Chang Sun Chong flicked his sleeves: "Don't say these things are useless, Du He, I came to you to buy coal briquettes from you... Others don't know, but I know that there are briquettes everywhere in your Lantian Coal Mine. There will be no more to pile up... To tell you the truth, twenty of the 27 shops selling coal briquettes in Chang'an City belong to our eldest grandson's family, and the remaining seven are all allies of our eldest grandson's family... Even if you get the briquettes now Selling it in Chang'an City will not help the matter, the common people have already recognized the signboard of Changsun's house... Why don't we cooperate."

In name, Du He is still Chang Sun Chong's teacher.

But Changsun Chong, this boy, has let go of the bet at the beginning, so he still doesn't seem to respect his teacher at all.

As for Du He, he didn't care about it at all. Anyway, he deliberately used Sikong Mansion's reputation to promote Banshan College.

"Cooperation? How much will you pay?" Du He asked.

Chang Sun Chong stretched out a finger.

"One, one penny...one penny and one briquette, I want as much as you have in Lantian Coal Mine!" Chang Sun Chong said confidently.

Nowadays, the supply of briquettes is in short supply. Even though the Changsun family has mobilized manpower several times, it is still too busy. Before and after, the Changsun family has already invested more than 15 guan.

Therefore, Chang Sun Chong thought of Du He.

The secret agents of the Sikong Mansion have already found out that the Lantian Coal Mine is almost occupied by briquettes, and as far as the eye can see, there are briquettes everywhere.

Hearing this, the old Fu next to him couldn't help it anymore: "Master Changsun, the briquettes of your eldest grandson's family cost three pennies each, but you can buy them from us for only one penny each, and the price is too low... ah."
