Chapter 31: Coal Ball Business
Li Shimin slept for a long time. Liu Fan didn't dare to go there anyway when he was hungry at noon. He could only sit blankly on the steps at the door. However, the Hu She people were calm and relaxed. Sometimes Liu Fan admired their behavior.
Why can such a person stand so calmly for so long? This kind of skill is something I will never learn in my life.
Li Shimin's coughing sound came from inside, and Hu Sheren immediately walked in, followed by the palace maid who followed him. After washing up, Li Shimin invited Liu Fan in.
"I've long heard that your Liu family's food is excellent, and so are the snacks in this village. Since we're here and it's meal time, let's make one!"
Liu Fan was already hungry, so he rushed into the kitchen. He still had the lion heads he made yesterday, so he steamed two of them, and then made a stewed tofu with wild vegetables. The braised pork was also a must. It was full of color and flavor. He considered eating fish.
Some people hesitated, so I made a dish of braised hare and a basin of clear soup. I thought it would be enough to eat, so I took it out.
Someone came forward to try the food, and Li Shimin nodded and started eating. Liu Fan brought a bowl and gave it to his father. His father whispered: "Is that one still there?"
Liu Fan nodded and said helplessly: "I don't know when to leave!"
Liu Qingshu was so angry that he wanted to hit him with a stick, but Liu Fan quickly slipped out.
Li Shimin said: "I can't tell that you still have a sense of filial piety!"
Liu Fan smiled and said: "As a child, how can you not fulfill your filial piety!"
Li Shimin seemed to be touched. He chewed the meat in his mouth for many times before swallowing it. He said slowly: "How to operate the briquette business you mentioned before!"
Liu Fan took out the method of making briquettes from the house. While explaining, he reiterated the significance of merchants. The role of businessmen as economic blood cannot be ignored. They can send briquettes to anywhere in the Tang Dynasty, especially briquettes that are simple and easy to make.
It is not an exaggeration to say that daily consumables that can be mass-produced can make huge profits.
Li Shimin listened to Liu Fan's words, finished the braised pork, and ate a lion's head. When the oil and water became heavy, he quickly took another sip of clear soup, patted his belly with satisfaction and said, "The food is good!"
After saying that, he quickly pointed at Liu Fan and said, "Don't use me and this food as a gimmick!"
Liu Fan smiled awkwardly.
Li Shimin took the paper and said, "I've taken over the briquettes business!"
Liu Fan quickly asked: "What about the common people..."
"Hmph! Do you dare to take it?" Li Shimin said impatiently.
Liu Fan shook his head sarcastically, and Li Shimin said: "I will send someone to deliver what belongs to you. As for the merchant you mentioned, I will not consider it. There are so many post stations in the Tang Dynasty, and briquettes can be sold everywhere, so why bother using the hands of merchants?
!”
Liu Fan reminded carefully: "I am most afraid of corruption!"
Li Shimin burst out laughing and said coldly: "If someone robs me of the things I like, I'm digging my own grave!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Liu Fan saluted and said.
Li Shimin turned and left.
Liu Fan secretly thought that he was a little bit drained. If he were to travel through time and be in the body of a prince or someone with a background, this coal briquette business would be enough for him to eat and wait for death for the rest of his life. He could do whatever he wanted.
Liu An and Jiang Muxue came in cautiously from the outside. They were relieved when they saw that no one was at home.
Liu An said: "Brother, a lot of people came just now and asked us to leave here directly. We were kicked out before we even had a chance to say anything!"
Liu Fan said: "Well, it's okay. You're hungry. Eat quickly!"
The three of them devoured all the food, and then Liu Fan patted his belly and said, "I finally feel comfortable now!"
The east is not bright but the west is bright. The business of getting the recliner from the emperor is already very good. No, shopkeeper Cheng also came over happily.
Liu Fan smiled and said: "It seems there is good news!"
Shopkeeper Cheng smiled and said: "Yes, the owner of the house agreed, but the ugly thing to say is whether the house will still belong to us in five years!"
Liu Fan specifically didn't say anything during the previous communication. The reason is that these people are not good people. They are all big tigers. No one can be carried by himself. However, there are many benefits to getting them. If you give up, it will be really difficult.
It's such a pity.
Liu Fan frowned and thought for a while and said: "Originally, I only wanted to rent, because these houses will definitely change again in five years, and the land here is not just the one hundred land! If I want to re-plan, you will not agree.
, and who will bear the losses?”
Shopkeeper Cheng smiled and said: "Young man, please don't refuse. I came here with great sincerity. It's not that my family cares about this issue, but there are ten families, so I still need to consider the ownership of the house. After all, the village in front of me is not
Whatever we invest in it depends entirely on your plan. If it doesn't meet your vision, our investment will be in vain!"
Liu Fan slowly said with a finger: "Ten years, this is the ownership period given to you, and within these ten years, you must obey my arrangements. I have to ensure that you cannot interfere with my plans in this village!"
Shopkeeper Cheng took a deep look at Liu Fan and said, "That's it, that's ten years. I hope you don't let me down!"
One hundred guan of money is not a small amount of money. When the bullock cart comes over, it will be enough for two boxes!
With such a start-up capital, the construction of houses is imminent. The original village address remains unchanged, and the upgrade and renovation of the old houses begin. For those who build houses, all the things in the old houses can be used.
The soil in the hall can be used to fill the ground, the beams can be used as firewood, and even the rivets can be used.
Fortunately, the weather was hot, and the villagers gathered together in the temporary houses. They would spend the next few months here. Liu Fan also slept in it. The only disadvantage was that there were a lot of mosquitoes, so they gathered people to pick them.
A lot of mugwort was dried in the sun and lit at night so that I could sleep much more soundly.
The advantage of staying in a group is that everyone becomes more familiar and closer. Often the family will make cakes and other things and give them to Liu Fan to eat first, which is a sign of respect and gratitude to Liu Fan.
Who in the past would be so generous to build houses for free for everyone? I have never heard of such a good thing, and it is not only the houses, but also the snacks and recliners that make a living. None of them are treasures that others will treasure for a lifetime. Now
They were all given out for free to make money for everyone. Although Liu Fan had to be given a share, that was what he should have done. Everyone still felt that Liu Fan got less.
Especially when Lin Hao kept repeating that Liu Fan was taking care of everyone for those brothers who died, it made many people burst into tears.
Liu Fan was a little helpless. His original intention was to live a free and unrestrained life and create a corner that he was familiar with. But now, he has become a person of noble moral character.
