No jokes here

【Xu Rui: Hmph, I'd better get rid of my incomprehensible ears, so I won't cause trouble for me in the future! 】

Even so, Xu Rui let go of her hand, and gently rubbed Gao Shi without any trace.

Wang Cui looked at Gao Shi and asked softly.

[Wang Cui: Shitou, you can take Zhang'er out to play, but you have to make sure he doesn't get hurt, understand? 】

Seeing this, Gao Shi quickly patted his chest.

【Gao Shi: I understand, I understand!Don't worry, Aunt Wang, as long as I'm here, I promise that Brother Zhang won't get hurt in the slightest, even mosquitoes won't bite him! 】

Hearing this, Wang Cui nodded with a smile.

[Wang Cui: Well, then I can rest assured. 】

After saying this, Wang Cui left with the game character in her arms.

Lin Qian'an breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately Wang Cui let go, otherwise he would probably be in trouble later on.

Fast forward in time, half a month has passed.

In the past half a month, Gao Shi took the game characters out to play almost every day.

At the beginning, Wang Cui would come out from time to time to see if Gao Shi had taken the game characters to do some dangerous activities, but gradually he felt relieved.

Because Lin Qian'an never manipulated the game characters to climb trees and dive into the water, he always just watched from the sidelines.

Moreover, Gao Shi took good care of him, and the other children had to pass his level of mischief.

In this way, Wang Cui quickly released the restrictions on game characters.

On the other hand, Lin Qian'an has also accumulated enough prestige among this group of children. Whether fishing or catching shrimp, wherever he points, there must be goods.

This also makes the daily life of the game characters a little easier.

Moreover, Lin Qian'an asked these children to steal some salt and try to make fine salt.

Due to limited conditions, the filter is not very good, but the color is much purer.

At least those obvious impurities are no longer visible.

This is already a commodity that can be sold.

But Lin Qian'an found out that it was nearly ten miles to the city, so he let go of this idea.

And most importantly, he couldn't find a partner for the time being.

As simple and honest as the father of the game character is, if he masters such a wonderful way of making money, he will probably be eaten by people even his belt and bones.

Time passed, and in the past few months, the weather was getting cooler, and it was unreasonably cold.

Heavy snow fell in the sky, the stream froze, and a thick layer of ice formed in the river. The work of moving goods at Wang Ming Port also stopped, and the price of charcoal began to skyrocket.

Lin Qian'an recalled seeing the words of the disaster year before, and had some guesses in his heart.

Sure enough, the cold days lasted for several months, and it didn't get better at the beginning of spring. When it was time for the villagers to plant seeds, the cold didn't subside.

Then came the disaster.

The villagers starved to death, and were frozen to death.

Some were unwilling and took their family to escape, but it didn't help.

This disaster almost affected half of the girder.

The characters in the game can barely get a little food from their work because their father works in the Sun's family in the port, but other families are not so good.

Gao Shi was sold to the city by his father, but he starved to death.

The fate of the other children was also extremely miserable, and there were no two good ones.

Lin Qianan began to think about how to change this situation.

The game characters have limited abilities and are too young to face natural disasters.

In the small wooden house, beside the simple bonfire, Wang Cui was chatting with Gao Ming with the game character in his arms.

[Wang Cui: When my sister came to us to borrow food, she said that someone in Wangjia Village burned coal for heating and was smothered to death by black smoke. Alas! 】

[Gao Ming: No way, in this damn weather, if you don’t burn coal, you’ll freeze to death. Our family doesn’t have much food. I’ll ask the owner for some credit tomorrow. I hope I can get through this period of time smoothly, otherwise]

Lin Qian'an, who was thinking about the problem, accurately captured what Wang Cui said about someone burning coal and dying.

There is some information in this sentence.

First, there seems to be a coal mine nearby?

Second, people in this world do not have the technology to make anthracite.

Third, the way they burn coal for heating does not seem to be scientific.

Immediately Lin Qian'an asked Wang Cui about these three questions.

And Wang Cui also answered.

There are indeed coal mines, and they are semi-open-air. There are two coal mountains with a large output. They are near Wangjia Village. However, because people have been poisoned by burning coal, they are superstitious that coal is poisonous, so no one dares to burn coal.

Naturally, no one knows about anthracite.

In addition, they don't understand the factors that need to maintain ventilation when burning coal for heating, and many of them should have died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

After understanding these three problems, Lin Qian'an knew how to solve this cold winter problem.

Since no one wanted coal, he tried to find a way to get it, and then made anthracite and sold it cheaply to the villagers to make some money, and told other villagers the scientific way of heating to reduce the death rate.

The only question is, who owns the coal mine?

What should I do if I want to cooperate?

Lin Qian'an asked Gao Ming about this question, and then he got the answer.

That is obviously also the property of the Sun family.

The Sun family is a big family in Fengshui City. It has been accumulated for thousands of years. Even if it is just a local gentry, its wealth is unimaginably rich.

After thinking about it, Lin Qian'an decided to read the file and go back to the time when the cold winter just appeared, and manipulated the game characters to follow Gao Ming to meet the steward of the Sun family.

With the technology of anthracite in his hand, when the price of charcoal rises, he might use this to cooperate with the Sun family.

With the influence of the Sun family, things can definitely be done better.

Click to read the file, and the time will go back to the beginning of October.

Lin Qian'an manipulated the game characters to find a way to obtain coal from the Wangjiacun coal yard, and asked those children to help burn charcoal into anthracite.

While his father Gao Ming was going to work in Fengshui City, Lin Qian'an asked the game character to bring a sample of anthracite, and planned to go with him to meet the steward.

It was dawn, and some residents in the village who had picked mountain goods were driving ox carts to the city to sell them. Gao Ming also packed up and was ready to take the ox cart and drop by to the city to work.

And just before he was about to go out, Lin Qianan manipulated the game character to grab his trouser leg.

[Gao Zhang: Dad, are you going to work in the city yet?Can you show me the city? 】

Chapter 345 Sun Chang, enough bait

After begging several times, and finally promising to just watch from the sidelines and not cause trouble, Gao Ming reluctantly agreed to take the game characters to the pier to play.

Gao Ming got into the bullock cart with the game character in his arms, and chatted with the old man driving the bullock cart.

[Gao Ming: Uncle Kun, your kid is promising now. I heard that he learned his skills from a teacher in Huai City. In two years, you will be able to enjoy the blessings. 】

[Gao Kun: What a blessing to enjoy, you have to move when you need to. 】

Listening to the chat between the two, Lin Qian'an couldn't help thinking about what happened in the last archive.

At that time, Gao Kun was seriously ill due to the cold weather, but he didn't want to delay his son's business, so he resolutely refused to find someone to deliver the letter, and finally froze to death at home.

This kind of thing happened more than once or twice this winter.

In the face of natural disasters, ordinary people simply do not have much resistance.

After fast forwarding a bit, the game character was led by Gao Ming all the way to the pier.

Fengshui River is a big river, and there are many merchant ships coming and going here. Gao Ming placed the game characters in a nearby tea shop, and the tea shop owner's daughter looked after them.

By the way, this tea shop is also run by the Sun family.

The owner of the tea shop is a distant relative of the Sun family. His name is Sun Hanning, and his daughter is Sun Ya.

Because it was difficult to make a living at home, he came to join the clan.

Then the Sun family also gave them the business of this tea shop to save face.

There are so many hard-working men at the pier, they have to buy tea when they are tired from work.

His business is also considered fair, one penny will take care of your tea for a day, and keep you drinking until you are full.

Of course, it is said to be tea, but in fact there are not many tea leaves in it, it is simply boiled water with a little tea fragrance.

Small capital and small profit, but barely enough for the family expenses.

These are all the information Lin Qianan asked from Sun Ya. He also asked about the name of the steward in charge of moving the goods at the dock, the names of some other stewards of the Sun family, and some tempers.

According to Sun Ya, Sun Gong, the manager here, is an unscrupulous miser, and usually finds excuses to deduct workers' wages, and his vision is very shallow.

Hearing Sun Ya's evaluation, Lin Qian'an let go of his original plan to go directly to the manager here to make a deal.

If he gave Sun Gong the anthracite, he would definitely not give it to the Sun family easily, but would make a profit privately.

In the future, most of them will be sold to the public at a higher price than charcoal, squeezing more money.

This matter can only be entrusted to the Sun family, a thousand-year-old family.

The Sun family has been in business for thousands of years, and has turned from wealth to wealth, and has seen farther, knowing that talents are fundamental.

In the last archived winter, the Sun family also donated porridge and food to ordinary people several times, which belonged to black-hearted capitalists with a slightly longer-term vision.

The current coal is worthless, and there is almost no profitable business, and the firing technology is simple, they will definitely not mind sharing it with the public at that time.

Lin Qian'an heard that Sun Chang, the third young master of the Sun family, would sometimes come to the pier to check on the business, so he moved his mind.

He has to wait until this young master arrives.

So Lin Qian'an begged Gao Ming almost every day to let him bring game characters into the city.

Of course, if it happens every day, Gao Ming will definitely not agree.

But the problem is, Lin Qianan will save and read files.

So every day can be a first.

Finally, after reading files for more than ten days in a row, Lin Qian'an met the third young master of the Sun family, Sun Chang.

Judging from his face, he is about 20 years old, wearing a black cloak, and accompanied by his servants, he walks unhurriedly among the goods at the dock, and asks his servants to open a box of goods from time to time to check the situation.

When Lin Qian'an was thinking about how to contact the other party, he walked towards the teahouse.

He stood in front of the tea shop and greeted Sun Hanning.

[Sun Chang: Uncle Han Ning, it's getting cold, you have to remember to add clothes, don't turn around and catch a cold. 】

Sun Hanning hurriedly performed the ceremony.

[Sun Hanning: Thank you, Third Young Master, for your concern. 】

Sun Chang nodded and looked at Sun Ya who was holding the game character.

Sun Ya also quickly put the game character aside and performed a salute to him.

[Sun Ya: Met the third young master. 】

Sun Chang shook his head.

[Sun Chang: Sister Ya, I've said it many times, you can just call me cousin, we are all one family, why should we be so divided. 】

While speaking, Sun Chang asked his servants to bring over two cloaks.

【Sun Chang: It's cold, don't get caught in the cold. This is a cloak that I asked someone to order at Qianyifang. I don't know if it fits. You and Uncle Hanning can wear it! 】

Sun Ya waved her hands again and again.

[Sun Ya: How does this work? 】

Seeing this scene, Lin Qian'an knew in his heart that there was a story in it.

Most of the time it's a bloody thing about the rich young master liking the poor relatives, and then tossing each other because of the right family.
