Datang Longya

Chapter 358

After Yan Liben learned that Leng Feng was going to take him so far, and also how serious the task was, he went to find his elder brother and brought almost all the good guards who would be in charge.

For them, as long as they have a set of tools, they can make you anything you want, iron stove?Don't be too simple!

The scimitars seized in the battle of the Bayannao tribe were all assigned to the sergeants to carry them. Now they have to put a few of them together and pile them together, waiting for the furnace to be opened tomorrow to build a coal stove.

Early the next morning, Leng Feng led his people to follow Tang Jin to the place where he found the coal.

Very good, a mountain depression, the rock layer of the mountain is obviously mixed with coal, although it is not everywhere as imagined, but these in front of you are enough to fill the carriage.

"Dig, look at it, half of it should be light coal, and half should be heavy coal. Although light coal is easy to ignite, it doesn't have enough heat. Although heavy coal is not easy to ignite, one furnace is enough for you to use overnight."

Tang Jin scratched her head: "Duke Xi, even if we fill up the carriage, it will take only a few days, and we may not be able to encounter coal mines again by then."

Leng Feng patted him on the head: "There is no coal and there is wood. In comparison, when using coal, you don't need to add some every once in a while. Why do you think coal has occupied the firewood market in Chang'an in such a short period of time?" ?”

Chang’an set off a wave of coal stove heating transformation, and the most exciting one is the Wang family in Taiyuan. Taiyuan is rich in coal. It can be said that they are the place with the most coal in the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the Wang family is the overlord of Taiyuan...

It is conceivable that if they did not offend Leng Feng, they would be rich as hell.

Yes, under the premise of "not offending Leng Feng".

The old Yuan looked at the account book that had turned into a negative number, and became worried...

It's not that he bankrupted Tianxialou, but that the 100 million coins that Leng Feng left for Tianxialou for emergencies are gone, and he couldn't help embezzling Tianxialou's profits for a recent payment on credit.

The situation is too big!
At the beginning, he just wanted to win over the coal merchants and mine owners near Taiyuan as much as possible, but after the actual statistics, the reported coal reserves of the merchants and mine owners who were already clamoring to be poor, far exceeded his calculation.

But it’s not okay, after all, he, the old man, has made a promise, "as much as you want"!
Unprepared, those businessmen and mine owners are used to pretending to be poor under Wang's oppression on weekdays. When it comes to revealing their family fortune, if Wang's steward knows their real coal quantity, they will probably be angry.

Lao Yuan also wanted to twist his mouth, but in the end, this mess still needs to be cleaned up, and if he wants to clean up the mess, he has to use a lot of profits from Tianxialou and other industries, and even use the property of the owner's family.

Although he is now a retainer of the Leng family, and Leng Feng has authorized him to be the master, but facing such a situation, he still dare not continue.

"Prepare the car, I want to go home!"

Xiaoer heard the shopkeeper's request clearly, and hurried to find the groom. It is the wish of all ordinary people to work in Tianxialou. Now that he has got it, if he wants to be a leader, he must do it well. As long as he is the master, he likes quick subordinates.

Old Yuan took a deep breath, picked up the ledger, and walked outside.

A businessman who was drinking in the lobby saw Lao Yuan and asked him to go over for a few drinks. Normally, Lao Yuan would go over to chat with them even if he didn't drink, but today...

Lao Yuan shook his head and walked out without saying a word.

The businessman was dissatisfied: "What's wrong with Shopkeeper Yuan? Why are you so disrespectful?"

As soon as he said this, the door of the box closest to him was kicked open, and a drunken voice came out: "Face? Hiccup! You have the face of fart, you can't even enter the box, shopkeeper Yuan I am willing to say a few words to you, that is flattering you, I don't know what to do! I..."

The man didn't finish, and then it seemed that his friend stopped him.

The businessman was annoyed at first, but after thinking about it, he immediately shut his mouth. What he said was true. The old man is the big shopkeeper of Tianxia Building. On weekdays, even the stewards of some high-ranking officials’ families would give him face. Such a person, I really don't belong to the same class as a low-level businessman like him~

The friend at the merchant's table persuaded: "It seems that shopkeeper Yuan is not in a good mood today, or else he doesn't want to drink, so he will come over to talk to us."

The businessman wondered, "Is there anything else that can make Shopkeeper Yuan feel bad?"

His friend shrugged: "I'm not qualified to know."

What can qualify the old man to be in a bad mood?Naturally, it must be a major event worth more than 50 guan!
Lao Li looked at the number "minus 15 and 59 copper coins", and couldn't help but ask: "So big? You played too big this time!"

The old Yuan said bitterly: "It's not going to be smooth sailing when you play business wars. I, Lao Yuan, really played well this time, and I don't know what the Lord should say when he comes back."

Lao Li said helplessly: "No way, the master asked you to do it, so you have to do it? Huh? No, I remember the master told you to let go of your hands and feet. The 100 million guns have just been used up, and you just Calling Tianxialou's 15 guan this year is nothing!"

The old man said bitterly: "This is more than half of it. After the turnover is completed, at least this amount will be paid!"

After finishing speaking, Lao Yuan held out his thumb and index finger.

"80 guan!?"

Lao Li jumped up in fright: "Why are there so many!"

"The businessmen and mine owners who recruited here have been tricked! Now I am worried about how to talk to the mistress. The lord is not here. Now I can only talk to the mistress."

Seeing Lao Yuan's gloomy look, Lao Li couldn't help persuading him: "It's not up to you. Didn't the Lord say that you can do whatever you want?"

Lao Yuan stood up silently: "Go and tell the mistress for me, just say that Lao Yuan is asking to see you, if it doesn't work, Lao Yuan, I'm going to risk my old face, and I have to play tricks!"

The so-called "mistress" is Liu Shuwen. As the wife of the head of the family, she also has great rights. The old man was entangled in the figure of 80, so he could only seek her advice.

Liu Shuwen had just finished breastfeeding the child, and the eldest lady of the Leng family who was born like a rabbit had now turned into a fat doll carved in powder and jade, and the shadow of Leng Feng could be vaguely seen in her eyebrows and eyes.

This is a child who looks after his father, but fortunately Leng Feng is not ugly, at least there is no need to worry about her growing up...

Lao Li came out not long after, and patted Lao Yuan on the shoulder: "Go in."

Old Yuan sighed and walked into the living room.

The main seat in the living room was empty, and Liu Shuwen was sitting in a guest seat, which looked very strange.

It stands to reason that the hostess can take the lead if the host is not around.

But now...
