Chapter 158 God-like youth
"This kind of stove was originally taught to cookers who specialize in making stoves. I don't have the money to make stoves, but I just hope that the people can cut down less trees." I explained with a smile, first of all, I am not the kind of businessman who wants to scrape off two taels of meat from mosquito legs.
"Well, Wuji, I am very pleased that you can have such a heart. But those iron stoves are probably not cheap, right?" My uncle looked at the iron stoves that had just been built. In addition to the furnace body, the iron platform on it was probably at least seven or eight kilograms of iron was enough.
"Well, these stoves are not bought without three to five stakes. After all, the price of iron tools is not low nowadays." I nodded and said, in ancient times, iron smelting was always refined using native methods. It was not only a matter of mining, but the charcoal and coal used alone were an astronomical figure.
But this is nothing. I just made some samples and sold them first. As long as I formed a scale, and when I made the coke, I believe that the price could go up even further at that time.
"Uncle, don't say that you use these stoves, even if you are old stoves, you can use them to roast honeycomb coal with just a little modification. What's more, I am recruiting a group of craftsmen who originally made stoves for people to learn first. At that time, when they are asked to sell coal, if the stove at the other party's home is not suitable, it is not impossible to renovate them for free." This young master said with a smile.
This marketing method is no different from many later door-to-door installations. Besides, the work of renovating the furnace is really simple. Mix the cinder and clay, and then modify it according to the diameter and size required for honeycomb coal.
"It's only been less than a few months. I'm now feeling more and more that I can't see through you. The things you do seem very simple. It seems that everyone can think of them as long as they change their mindset. But the problem is that the world is so big, and there are really a few people like you." On the way back, my uncle looked at me while amazement. He really couldn't understand that his nephew, who was originally a nerd, suddenly became an omnipotent child prodigy. Uh, my brother has now left the category of children and is called a god-like boy.
Well, this contrast is indeed a bit big. Changsun Wuji in the past was very homeless. Although he was very smart, compared with this young man who was a time traveler, let alone walking, even if he was flying in the space, he would not be able to catch up with my flying footsteps. This is where the capital and pride of being a time traveler.
"Uncle, you say that you will stay away for three days. When you look at me with admiration, doesn't this prove that as long as people have imagination, everyone's future will be infinite possibilities?" I smiled twice and said modestly: "I just like to think about it sometimes. As a result, I can get these ideas out, but I didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good."
"Well, although this is too straightforward, it really makes sense for him." My uncle smashed his mouth. It seemed that what I said just now was very suitable for his taste, but it was too straightforward.
"Uncle, actually, I think that although the ancient people spoke in a simple and insulting way, it was not because they were unwilling to say more and wanted to explain clearly, but because in that era, there were too few carriers that could record their language, or it was too heavy, so they could only convey more meanings in this way." I do not oppose beautiful classical Chinese, on the contrary, I like classical Chinese very much.
When I was still studying, maybe because I was always involved in calligraphy, I was very interested in classical Chinese. And, for me, the problem was that the ancients' spirit of specializing in research was too strong. The same sentence would have ten explanations when it came to the eyes of ten people, and maybe more.
This is why in ancient times, there were always debates over certain works, and even debates that there was no result for three to five hundred years. For example, the Analects of Confucius, and the debate on the interpretation of "Shangshu", seemed to have continued until the Ming Dynasty and even the Qing Dynasty, and there were still people who were studying the Shangshu.
This made me extremely speechless. From the time when the Book of Documents was said to be compiled by Confucius first, it had a history of at least two thousand years until the Qing Dynasty, but I couldn't make the content of a book completely and convinced that everyone could explain it. It is impossible to say that this is the strange nature of Chinese culture.
This is also regrettable. If the ancients could pass on their thoughts accurately, the history of the Chinese nation might be different, at least many people would not have taken advantage of the shortcomings of ancient people not using punctuation marks to randomly make sentences to fool the world.
After hearing my words, my uncle was dumbfounded for a long time before he said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense. If this is spread, I don't know how many people will come to you for trouble." Although my uncle did not refute me, I could see that my uncle disagreed with my words.
Maybe he also thinks that the things that our ancestors left behind for countless people to guess are good things, and that those that can make people guess for two or three thousand years are the best among good things.
"I naturally know this, so at most I just complain to you, uncle." I quickly said cutely. I was just sixteen. Although I had already performed the ceremony, saying that I was already an adult, but in fact I was still a young man. It is okay to pretend to be young and cute, so that my uncle can avoid getting crazy. Kong said Chengren and Meng said to be a slutty and swear to teach me a lesson by saying "I am an outstanding young man."
"Haha, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, but can this honeycomb coal really be sold?" My uncle smashed his mouth and hesitated. After all, let alone ten kilograms, even a hundred kilograms of coal noodles cost per cent, as long as the amount is large, it can take away the coal noodles that should occupy damn land, and the owners of the coal shops even want you to take away and pay a hundred kilograms.
Even if it is a bit exaggerated, it is not much exaggerated. Anyway, I have inquired about it. It is really hard to believe that Liu Hongji has a subordinate who has been in coal for a while, so I can also know something.
"Uncle, don't know that this thousand kilograms of coal is now sold for 200 cents, and our honeycomb coal and that coal surface are worth 1,000 cents. Twenty cents per cent, that is, twenty kilograms or two thousand, only 100 cents. It is about half the same as the coal block. Moreover, we have mixed clay here, and the coal surface is only about 800 cents at most. What's more, the beacon slag after burning, as long as you continue to ask for our honeycomb coal, we can recycle it for free. This is a good material for burning bricks. It goes back and forth, from small to larger, and you will definitely earn a lot..."
My uncle listened to my analysis and explanation and finally agreed to my opinion. Since I am willing to do so, I will leave the matter to me. Of course, half of the shares were given to me, which was my uncle himself. Although my uncle stroked his long beard and told me earnestly that I, my nephew, could not get nothing in the matter.
But I even more suspect that my uncle is worried that he will not make money and share risks in advance. Well, maybe I judge a gentleman by the heart of a villain, but that doesn't matter. Anyway, if you can make money, it will be fine.
The hotel drama performance has achieved unprecedented success. It has been ten days since the first day of the orphan of Zhao started playing the role of the Zhao family.
