Chapter 16: The Dispute of the Four Families
"In this case, Qin is even more duty-bound, as long as His Highness does not let our Qin family suffer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Qin Mu looked like a righteous Ling Ran.
It's just that he knows in his heart that if this kind of novel briquette furnace can be sold smoothly, it may be able to bring huge profits to the Qin family.
Qin Mu ate alone, Wang Shijie was not happy, he said: "Brother Qin, you are greedy, how can your Qin family take this opportunity to make a fortune alone?" β
Then, Wang Shijie looked at Xiao Ming and said: "Back to Your Highness, there is also a horse team in the foolish brother's house, Qin Mu's waterway, after all, there are still some places that cannot be reached, and the rest of the places our Wang family can help His Highness." β
"That's right, our Sun family also has a horse team." Sun Dong echoed.
Wei Qing and Qin Mu glanced at each other, their expressions slightly unhappy.
These four people are arguing with me, Xiao Ming is carefully observing from the side, and he is secretly happy in his heart.
Now it is obvious that Wang Shijie and Sun Dong are helping each other, while Qin Mu and Wei Qing are standing together.
It can be seen that the four giants in Qingzhou are not monolithic, they are calm on the surface, but they are intrigue on the inside.
Xiao Ming is not afraid of them fighting, he is afraid that they will not fight, so he can profit from it.
"Everyone, everyone, don't quarrel, you are all the most trusted people in this king, and no one in this king wants to be biased, in this way, this king has an idea, since the four of you want to take over this briquette stove, it is better to compete fairly, I don't care how much silver you sell to others, but the price of buying a briquette stove from me is higher than the one you give, I will give it to whomever you want."
Xiao Ming's eyes rolled, and then said: "For the sake of fairness, tomorrow you will each prepare a secret letter, which is the price of buying a briquette stove from this king. β
"That's a good idea, Your Highness is wise." Wang Shijie gave up his hand to Xiao Ming, but his eyes looked at Qin Mu defiantly.
Meaning who is afraid of whom!
"Then do as Your Highness says!" Qin Mu did not back down.
Xiao Ming was very happy in his heart, originally he didn't have much hope for the gas stove, but now that the four families are fighting, he can take advantage of it a little more.
"In order to let the four of you understand the convenience of this gas stove, you can take this sample back and show it to each family." Xiao Ming still maintained a calm appearance and couldn't let them see his psychology.
Wang Shijie arched his hand to Xiao Ming and asked the accompanying family to walk out with the stove.
The other three also left at this time.
"Your Highness, do you want the craftsmen to build a briquette stove now?" Chen Longwen asked with a smile.
He was watching the whole process, originally this briquette furnace made Wang Shijie and Sun Dong worthless, but he didn't expect Qin Mu to be too greedy, which caused a rift in the four families that had advanced and retreated together in the past.
Xiao Ming glanced at Chen Wenlong, "What do you say?" You won't have much time to relax in the future. β
"Your Highness, the lower officials are not afraid of being busy, they are afraid of being idle." Chen Longwen showed himself at the right time.
Xiao Ming nodded, "When the money arrives, the matter of this hydraulic lathe workshop will be handled." β
After explaining the matter of the briquette stove, Xiao Ming returned to the palace under Lu Fei's escort.
At this time, Wang Shijie also returned to Wang's house with a gas stove, and for this matter, the four families gathered at Wang's house again.
"Shijie, you said that this thing was made by His Highness at the request of the Instrument Division?" Wang Chengtiao looked at the burning briquette stove and said.
"There won't be a fake, and I haven't seen anything like this in other parts of Dayu?" Wang Shijie said.
"Wang Yuanwai, what kind of briquette stove burns coal, what do you think?" Qin Chuanyun asked, he was Qin Mu's father.
Wang Chengchou gently twisted his beard, and Qin Chuanyun made him very useful as an outsider, although this outsider was just a name that a wealthy businessman got in exchange for money.
But the status of businessmen is decreasing, and this title can also be comforted.
"This briquette stove is indeed interesting, boiling water, cooking, warm wine, heating is very convenient, and the size of the fire can be controlled at will, the most important point is that it is not easy to extinguish, and the briquette below is burned out, just change a briquette, if you want, this briquette stove can not be extinguished."
"There is some truth in what Wang Yuanwai said, if there is such a thing in the house in winter, it would be good."
Qin Chuanyun sat beside a thin old man, but it was Sun Dong's father, Sun Yuanzhi.
"Since you all think that this briquette stove is good, then according to Your Highness's method, the four of us will each write a secret letter, so that we don't have to quarrel over who will run the briquette stove."
Wei Qing's father, Wei Hong, said loudly, he is very similar to Wei Qing, both are red-faced men.
Because of Wei Hong's words, the courtyard fell silent for a while, and the four families looked at each other, each with their own ideas.
This briquette stove has been burned in Wang's house since it was brought to the present, and he has a plan in his heart, "In this case, Wang will not leave you, no matter who wins the operation of this briquette stove tomorrow, I hope everyone will not hurt the harmony." β
"In that case, we'll take our leave." Wei Hong was the first to stand up and take his leave.
Then Sun Yuanzhi and Qin Chuanyun left one after another.
Everyone dispersed, and Wang Shijie said at this time: "Dad, this briquette stove is a novelty, but I don't think the price will exceed three taels of silver." β
"Hehe, you said three taels, but this time even if it is five taels or ten taels, we will take down this briquette furnace operation." Wang Chengchou squinted his eyes and said.
"Why?" Wang Shijie was puzzled.
"Let me ask you, what is our Wang family selling?" Wang Chengchou looks like he hates iron but not steel.
"Coal ......" Wang Shijie suddenly woke up, "Dad, what do you mean that if this briquette stove can be sold, our coal ......"
Wang Chengchou laughed, "Exactly, I just counted, if this briquette stove burns for a day, it will need at least six briquettes, if every household in Dayu Country uses a gas stove, wouldn't our Wang family be rich and rival the country?" β
Wang Shijie was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Dad, His Royal Highness King Qi is really our lucky star?" β
Wang Chengchou twisted his beard with a smile, put away his smile and said, "Shijie, there is something you have to go to His Highness alone." β
"Dad, you command." Wang Shijie said respectfully, he has been afraid of Wang Chengchou since he was a child.
"This briquette furnace has little impact on us whether we are in the Wang family, or who operates it, the biggest is the business of this briquette, you see, the briquettes sent by King Qi are very regular, the size of the holes inside, the square circle, and the location are the same, and the briquette furnace is very compatible, slightly different can not be put in, and this briquette is a coal block crushed and sticky, very hard, difficult to manufacture."
"Do you mean to ask Your Highness how this briquette is produced?"
"No, King Qi is for money this time, I want you to buy this method!" Wang Chengchou's eyes flashed with the flame of ambition.
