God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

So, the quality of briquettes from Lantian Coal Mine is better than Changsun's own?

……

Dream Group.

"Young master, although this incident caused the eldest grandson's family to stumble, it will also be detrimental to us...Now, the people in Chang'an City have begun to resist briquettes. They think briquettes are poisonous...and we have so many briquettes in Lantian Coal Mine. , if the eldest grandson's family doesn't buy it, they will have to throw it all in their hands." Standing in front of Du He, Zhang Jian said worriedly.

Now, Zhang Jian and others have tacitly agreed that Du He wants to sell all the briquettes produced by Lantian Coal Mine to Changsun's family.

What if the eldest grandson's family doesn't want it?

Du He stood up from behind the table, smiled, and said, "Actually, I've expected this matter before... However, this matter has not yet caused the eldest grandson's family to stumble. The real stumble is yet to come."

Before he finished speaking, Old Fu walked in from the door and said, "Master, Eldest Sun Chong is here again."

Du He was not surprised, smiled slightly, and said: "Please, prepare a good meal and wine, I want to entertain my disciple!"

Both Zhang Jian and Lao Fu were dumbfounded.

As for Chang Sun Chong, that bully of deceiving teachers and exterminating ancestors, he still wants to have a banquet?

Old Fu turned around and went out, and brought Changsun Chong in after a while.

As soon as Chang Sun Chong saw Du He, he said eagerly: "Du He, I have something important to see you."

Du He sat behind the table without raising his head: "No time."

"I really have something important to do!"

"Go outside and wait."

The eldest grandson was in a hurry and shouted: "Du He, it's urgent..."

Du He raised his head, threw the brush away, and said displeasedly: "Chang Sun Chong, this young master is your teacher after all, right? Are you yelling here, showing a little bit of respect for your teacher?"

Chang Sun Chong was taken aback, lowered his head and thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Teacher, I'm in trouble, and I'm here to ask you for help."

This guy's attitude took a 180-degree turn in an instant.

Du He stood up at once, stepped forward and grabbed Chang Sun Chong's sleeve, and said enthusiastically: "This is what a disciple should look like. Come, come, come from Chang'an. It must be very hard work. I have already I have prepared good wine and good food for you, let's eat first and then talk..."

As he spoke, Du He dragged the bewildered eldest Sun Chong to the side.

In the house, a table of good wine and food has already been prepared.

How could Chang Sun Chong be in the mood to eat? He wanted to speak up several times, but was stopped by Du He. In the end, he ate a lot of food and drank so dizzy.

Only then did Chang Sun Chong have the opportunity to say, "Teacher, I'm here to seek your help."

Du He said with a smile: "You mean that there are people in Chang'an who gathered to oppose the briquettes? This matter is quite serious. If it gets into the ears of His Majesty, His Majesty loves the people like a son, and he will inevitably scold His Excellency..."

"Yes!" Changsun Chong nodded repeatedly, "You don't know, the briquettes of Changsun's family and other big families are used for heating, which will produce a lot of smoke and make people dizzy and vomit, but the briquettes of Lantian Coal Mine don't have this problem... ...But there is simply not enough briquettes in Lantian Coal Mine, so I am here to ask you for help."

Originally, Chang Sun Chong absolutely couldn't say such words.

But at the moment, he was so dizzy from drinking, his brain couldn't control it at all, and he was exposed accidentally.

Hearing this, Du He suddenly smiled and said, "It's easy to say, firstly, we are a master-student relationship, and secondly, we are partners, and I should help you with this kind of favor out of emotion and reason. The most benevolent person in Chang'an!"

Chapter 536 Du He's Three Strategies

Wu Guogong's mansion.

Yu Chigong suddenly widened his eyes, staring at Xu Zhengdao in front of him.

"What, Du He wants me to invite the old bastard to come to my house as a guest now? Impossible, the person I hate the most in my life is the old bastard, grandson Wuji. When I see him, I get so angry, let me invite him It's impossible to be a guest... This old man has been determined all his life, and he will never get along with the old bastard, and it's even more impossible to entertain him!" Yu Chigong shook his head like a rattle.

A moment ago, Yuchi Gong heard that one of Du He's generals, Xu Zhengdao, was visiting at the mansion. He thought it was related to his son, so he quickly welcomed Xu Zhengdao into the mansion. Who knew that the news brought by Xu Zhengdao and Yuchi Baolin It didn't matter at all, but he wanted him to immediately send someone to invite Changsun Wuji to visit Duke Xu's mansion.

Banquet?

Impossible in this lifetime!

Yu Chigong refused very simply.

Xu Zhengdao calmly clapped his hands, and an attendant walked in carrying a box from the door. The box was opened, and inside was a wine jug. The lid was removed, and the strong aroma of wine permeated the whole room.

Yu Chigong couldn't help but licked his lips and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Xu Zhengdao: "Wu Guogong, this is what Du He asked me to bring to you, as long as you agree to treat me, this wine is yours, and, Yuchi The young master will be able to return to Chang'an soon."

"Is that true?" Upon hearing that Yuchi Baolin could come back, Yuchi Gong immediately rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Exactly!"

"Okay, the old man agreed!"

Yu Chigong, who was strong and strong, agreed very simply.

Dream Group.

Chang Sun Chong was almost fainted after being downed several more glasses of wine.

Hearing Du He's promise suddenly, he hastily grabbed Du He's hand: "Du He...ah no, teacher...really? In fact, I came to you this time to solve the problem that the briquettes in Lantian Coal Mine cannot be supplied. Question, these past few days, Lantian Coal Mine has sold too few briquettes to our Changsun’s family...it’s not enough at all, do you think it’s possible to sell [-] briquettes a day?”

Hearing this, Du He shook his head: "Who would refuse a profitable business? It's not that I don't want to sell coal briquettes to you, but it's cold and slippery today. It's not easy to transport briquettes from Lantian Coal Mine to Chang'an. The cost of transportation has increased significantly, so at the price of two Wen, it is impossible to ship 1 briquettes a day at most, and no more... [-] briquettes per day, the price must be mentioned at three Wen.”

Three pennies?

The eldest grandson opened his mouth wide.

Seeing that Sun Chong didn't speak, Du He said: "Actually, I already have a good solution to this matter. There are only three ways to make us continue to make a lot of money."

"Which three methods?" Chang Sun Chong asked impatiently.

Du He smiled and said three strategies.

"First, increase the price. Three Wen a coal briquette is actually very low. The price of the same firewood is about twelve Wen, while the price of charcoal is about thirty Wen... So, I suggest that the Changsun family raise the price. Raise the price of briquettes to four or even five cents, and there will still be people who will buy them... The most important thing in Chang'an City is the rich. Survival issues will naturally be dealt with by the imperial court, so the customers of briquettes are those people with spare money, don’t worry, their money is beyond your imagination.”

"Secondly, the quality of briquettes from Changsun's family and other big households has problems, which has caused dissatisfaction among the common people. Therefore, from now on, we will suspend the sale of briquettes from Changsun's family and other big households, and only sell briquettes from our Lantian Coal Mine. There is a lot of publicity, saying that all the briquettes have been replaced with briquettes from the Lantian Coal Mine, and there will be no more smoke billowing in the combustion chamber, and it will not be poisonous."

"Third, it doesn't matter if the common people use briquettes to make a fire for cooking, but if they are used for heating, dizziness or even vomiting is due to the poisoning of the monoxide pond...Of course, with your brain, you still don't understand this truth, you just It is necessary to use the energy of the eldest grandson's family to send a large number of people to check from house to house, but for those who use briquettes for heating, they must leave a door and window, and the inside of the house must not be sealed."

This is Du He's three strategies.

To put it simply, first, the price of briquettes has increased; second, tell the common people that they sell high-quality briquettes from the Lantian Coal Mine; and third, teach the common people how to use the correct briquettes for heating.
