Li Xueyan came out and said softly: "My aunt is a little more straightforward, Mr. Qin, please forgive me."
"It's okay. Thank you, Lord County, for bringing people here." Qin Huaidao bowed and thanked him. With such big customers, he can sell a lot today. The key is that his reputation will spread and bring more people to buy. This is not a small favor.
As for the look in the woman's eyes just now... she was frighteningly frank. As a human being, you'd better work hard on your own.
Li Xueyan smiled and said: "You're welcome, call me Xueyan if you can."
"That's fine, you can call me by my name, sir. It's my name." Qin Huaidao agreed. It was just a title and he didn't care.
However, Li Xueyan was very concerned about it. Calling each other's names meant that the two were no longer casual acquaintances, but more closely related. Only those close to each other could call each other by name. She smiled sweetly: "That is Xueyan's honor. Huai...
Huai Dao, my father asked me to bring him a message, saying that he could come and have a casual meal when he is free."
After saying that, his face turned red and he lowered his head.
"Master Qin." At this time, a voice came.
Qin Huaidao turned around and saw Fang Xuanling, and said curiously: "How did Mr. Fang find this place?"
"I went to the Supervisor's Office. Chu Mo said you might be here. If not, I have to go to Qinjiazhuang to find you. It's not easy to find you now. Is that so?" Fang Xuanling said and looked into the shop.
"Sell some fairy fruits, Mr. Fang, would you like to buy some? This fruit has the effects of clearing away heat and cooling blood, promoting body fluids and relieving coughs, smoothing the intestines and detoxifying, rejuvenating the skin and rejuvenating the skin, moistening the lungs and reducing phlegm, etc. It can also be used to prolong life and keep the appearance beautiful.
It can also treat phlegm-heat cough, sore throat, constipation, thirst and irritability."
"The one who healed Princess Jinyang?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"right!"
"Is it really as good as you just said?" Fang Xuanling asked. Seeing Qin Huaidao nodding with determination, he said, "Then give me a few pills, and how much will they cost?"
"Two taels of silver a piece. It's opening today with a 10% discount. How much do you want, sir?"
"This..." Fang Xuanling was a little embarrassed. The price was a bit beyond pocket money.
Qin Huaidao saw Fang Xuanling's embarrassment and said with a smile: "Brother Xue, bring ten of them and give them to Mr. Fang."
"I can't do it, I can't do it." Fang Xuanling shouted quickly, feeling a little grateful in her heart. Ten pills is twenty taels, not two taels. This is not a small amount.
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "Master Fang, our two families are family friends. This is not a gift to you. I asked you to help me take it back to my aunt. It is a token of filial piety from the younger generation. It cannot be considered as a bribe from a lower official to a higher official. Even if you take it with me,
That is, if those people from Yushitai dare to talk nonsense, I will not agree to it."
"Okay, then I will thank you for your aunt." Fang Xuanling saw that Qin Huaidao was so good at doing things, and agreed with satisfaction. The younger generation should be filial to the elders. Who dares to say three or four?
Soon, Xue Rengui took out a bag with ten pills in it. Fang Xuanling took it without being polite and said, "My dear nephew, do you have a quiet place to chat?"
"How about going to the backyard?"
"That's fine!"
Qin Huaidao led Fang Xuanling to the miscellaneous room in the backyard. The miscellaneous room had been cleaned up last night. Qin Huaidao gave Fang Xuanling a low stool, sat down on the edge of the bed, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Fang, if you need anything, just ask me."
"Then I'll tell you the truth." Fang Xuanling adjusted his mood and organized his speech: "The weather has been getting colder and colder recently. Many people have frozen to death in some villages outside the city. If we don't solve it, more people may freeze to death. But for heating,
The price of charcoal has skyrocketed. Not to mention the poor, some wealthy families can hardly afford it. Doesn’t Qinjiazhuang use coal to burn bricks? The coal is poisonous, but no one in Qinjiazhuang has been poisoned. Is there a solution? "
"A lot of people froze to death?" Qin Huaidao confirmed, a little surprised in his heart. He thought it was just like this in Qinjiazhuang, but he didn't expect that the situation in other places was not good either.
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said: "There are them in every county in Jingzhao Prefecture. The imperial court has no solution for the time being. Your Majesty asked me to ask, if you can solve the problem of poisonous coal and soil, you will have an additional heating object and you can live a lot longer."
people."
Qin Huaidao asked: "What's the current price of charcoal?"
"I heard from the servant in charge of purchasing in the house that the price has been rising in the past two days, and it has almost doubled. In the past, one penny could buy three to five days' supply, but now it can only be used for one day, and the price is still unavailable.
"
Qin Huaidao realized something was wrong as soon as he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid someone is deliberately hoarding charcoal to create market tension. The price will still rise."
"I understand, but the charcoal belongs to them. One is willing to sell and the other is willing to sell. It is a normal transaction, fair and reasonable, and the court has no way to interfere. It can't be arrested, right?" Fang Xuanling's face turned ugly.
Qin Huaidao asked curiously: "Which family is so brave?"
"Five surnames and seven hopes, every family is involved. They make a fortune at this time of year, and there is nothing the Holy Emperor can do."
When Qin Huaidao heard this, he knew what was going on. He thought about it and asked, "Uncle Fang, I have a way to completely solve this problem, but it will also cut off the wealth of the five surnames and seven hopes, and lead to death."
"Can you really solve it completely and don't have to worry about it in the future?" Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly. Seeing Qin Huaidao nodding, he immediately realized that Qin Huaidao had a way to solve the problem of toxic coal and soil, and said in surprise: "This is beneficial to the country.
Great things that benefit the people are countless great merits for living people, but..."
Thinking of Wu Xing Qi Wang's methods, Fang Xuanling was a little embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "Xiang Nephew, just tell me what conditions you have. Even if I sacrifice my old face to ask for it, I just want the Holy One to agree."
Qin Huaidao was a little moved. Fang Xuanling had people in his heart. He said sternly: "Uncle Fang, I also have people in my heart and I am not afraid of anyone's revenge. But Qinjiazhuang is not good and cannot withstand the storm. If the Holy One sets up a protection village for Qinjiazhuang,
With the power of the team and the ability to protect ourselves, the juniors will have nothing to worry about."
"this……"
Fang Xuanling did not dare to say this. Setting up a private militia was not a trivial matter, but when he thought that many people would not survive this winter, he couldn't bear it and said: "This matter requires the approval of the Holy Father. If there are less than a hundred people without crossbows,
I am confident that I can persuade Your Majesty, and there is no need to mention it any more."
"One hundred people are enough. If you don't hold a crossbow, just an ordinary sword will do." Qin Huaidao agreed. Originally, the quota of thirty or fifty people was enough, but the court expected a hundred people.
"Tell me your method first." Fang Xuanling did not dare to agree immediately.
Qin Huaidao originally planned to sell the briquettes in a few days. It would be best if he could get some extra benefits. It doesn't matter if he can't get them. He said bluntly: "This junior is going to make a kind of stove, and then improve the coal soil and make it into a kind of briquettes to put in the stove."
For burning, three a day is enough, it can replace both firewood for cooking and charcoal for grilling."
Fang Xuanling asked steadily: "What's the price? Is it poisonous?"
"Ten briquettes for one penny, non-toxic!"
"One penny, ten?"
Seeing that Qin Huaidao didn't want to joke, Fang Xuanling quickly calculated that charcoal costs a penny to burn for one day, and firewood in winter is also expensive. One penny can't burn it for ten days. This honeycomb briquette costs ten penny, and ordinary people can afford it, and it can be used for a long time.
Firewood is much cheaper than burning charcoal, isn’t it a good deal?
