"As big as the heart is, the stage is as big as it is."
Chen Mo replied casually and looked outside the door again.
Counting the time, today's opponent should have arrived.
Huameishu didn't say anything else. His face seemed calm, but in fact, his heart was already in turmoil.
First, he was surprised by Chen Mo's thoughts and methods, and second, he became more convinced.
This person must have a close relationship with the newly appointed county magistrate.
Otherwise, he would not dare to say anything about large-scale annexation.
In this case, let's just wait and see. The prospects can't be better. If irreconcilable conflicts really break out, they will part ways at worst.
A county magistrate may be able to suppress the Hua family in Baihe County, but he can never shake the relationship in Taizhou City.
"Master, have tea." Hua Meishu lowered his attitude for the second time.
"Let's watch the excitement first." Chen Mo raised his hand and pointed to the door.
Accompanied by shouts one after another, ten oxcarts came directly opposite the charcoal store, filled with charcoal, and the formation was extremely grand.
The leader, Wang Fuxing, was arrogant, and behind him were four stickmen who looked very arrogant.
Their arrival not only alarmed the crowd, but also made Mrs. Wang look downright embarrassed.
"Wang Lizhang, my Wang's Charcoal Shop is opening today, what's your intention in doing this?"
"Two hearts." Wang Fuxing said with a smile on his face, "The first heart is that everyone with the Wang family name is one family, and we are here to celebrate the opening of the charcoal store. The second heart is the same. Since we are a family, we naturally do business together.
, so I brought all the charcoal here to relieve Wang Po’s worry about insufficient supplies.”
"Wang Lichang said it nicely, but the old woman looked around and all she saw was the word "ruin". Mrs. Wang was too lazy to talk nonsense and just started tearing up.
"I don't dare to ruin things, but when it comes to words, I really have some here."
Wang Fuxing raised his hand, and the drivers got orders.
Boards of wood covered with words were erected one after another, which were half of the song "The Charcoal Seller".
"This Wang Fuxing is worthy of the reputation of stripping his skin. He just imitated the young master and cut firewood and burned charcoal. He even used his poems. It is extremely shameless."
Huameishu spoke sarcastically, with contempt on his face.
"The most humble person is invincible." Chen Mo had already expected this to happen, "Besides, if you talk about shooting yourself in the foot, just treat it as a joke."
The most humble person is invincible!
Hua Meishu made me laugh when I heard it, but Chen Mo was more amusing when he scolded people.
The clouds were calm and the wind was calm over the two of them, but thunder was rolling outside the door.
The major events in recent days, apart from the scientific examination held every five years, are undoubtedly the sudden popularity of hot pot and the cost of ten taels of silver and a load of charcoal.
The reason why that car of carbon sold for a sky-high price was because it was accompanied by a poem, which vividly displayed the hardships and hardships of the people at the bottom.
There are also rumors that the person who bought the charcoal was the new county magistrate.
Therefore, many people with active minds are quietly paying attention and inquiring about it. The reappearance of the charcoal car with the poem attached at this moment will naturally cause a great sensation.
The most obvious thing is that more and more people are watching.
Wang Fuxing wanted this effect, so he cleared his throat and started showing off loudly.
"You must have heard about the high-priced charcoal a few days ago. To be honest, the culprits are our people from Baijiazhuang. The reason why we opened this charcoal shop with Wang Po is to earn more dirty money. You might as well
Think about it, why does charcoal, which everyone in the countryside can make, sell for such a high price?"
"It's not because of the poem." Someone answered.
"That's right, that's the point I want to say." Wang Fuxing said with feigned indignation, "Because the charcoal seller is a sinister scholar, using dirty tricks like ruining poetry and prose, pretending to be miserable to gain sympathy and defraud money.
We, the scum of Baijiazhuang, should be despised and despised by everyone."
Wow...
Incited by Wang Fuxing to confuse right and wrong, the scene suddenly became commotion, and many people began to curse.
Seeing this, Wang Fuxing looked at Mrs. Wang proudly and continued to stir up troubled waters.
"Everyone, as the head of Baijiazhuang, I can't sit idly by either emotionally or rationally, so I quickly summoned my neighbors and burned these ten carts of charcoal. Once I did, I would reveal the true face of that scum, so as not to
Everyone has been deceived again. Secondly, let’s take this opportunity to relieve people’s livelihood problems.”
"There is great justice here." Someone raised their arms and shouted.
"Just tell me how much a load of charcoal costs?" Someone took the bait directly.
"That scum sells for ten taels, we can sell it for five taels." Wang Fuxing shouted, "Don't worry, after all ten loads of charcoal are sold, the first thing we will do is expand the charcoal kiln, and then lower the price of charcoal.
, please help me no matter what."
"Ten loads of charcoal, all covered." Just as everyone was hesitating, a middle-aged man came up and said, "I greatly admire Li Chang's righteous deed. Please keep the fifty taels of silver."
"On behalf of all the neighbors, Fuxing would like to express our deepest gratitude." Wang Fuxing was very happy. "I don't know where your mansion is. I will send someone to send the charcoal there right away."
"I have to give it as a gift, but not to anyone's house, but to everyone present." Mrs. Wang suddenly answered.
"What's the meaning?"
Wang Fuxing was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until he saw the charcoal buyer walking towards Mrs. Wang that he realized that he had been tricked, and instantly became angry from embarrassment.
"Everyone has seen it. Mrs. Wang eats people without spitting out the bones. She sends people to collect the charcoal at a low price and then sells it at a high price. She should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts."
This time, Mrs. Wang didn't give everyone a chance to make a fuss, and just shouted back coldly.
"Old lady, I was in Yahang before. If you have heard of my bad reputation, you will also know that I do things according to the rules. I always do what I say."
"Wang Po, do you really want to give us charcoal?" the waiter shouted in the crowd.
"That's right, not only these ten trucks of charcoal, but also two trucks from our charcoal shop."
After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, Xu Lidong led two more carriages. This time he did not show any pretense and directly displayed the charcoal pieces fired by Chen Mo.
Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.
Comparing the two, one can clearly see the superiority and inferiority.
Especially after it is lit, it changes from sky to earth.
If the former is for the common people, then the one made by Chen Mo is exclusively for the royal family.
"Wang Po, this kind of charcoal has never been seen before. Do you really want to give it away for free?" The question came up again.
"We're opening today, so we have to give them away." Mrs. Wang nodded, "After I finish the delivery, I'd like you to do me a favor. When you go back to keep warm, do a comparison to see what the difference is."
"There is nothing to compare with. If we continue to compare, those ten cars should be thrown away."
"Wang Po, I want to ask more, what is the price of charcoal for the entire vehicle?"
"This is the number." Mrs. Wang raised two fingers.
Two taels?
When everyone heard this, they all looked happy.
Although the more common charcoal is still quite expensive, the quality and appearance make it really affordable.
Wang Fuxing, on the other hand, rolled his eyes and almost lost his breath.
