Daqin: At the beginning, he revealed that he was a traverser, and Ying Zheng was paralyzed

"Hey, apart from good people like the crown prince and Chen Shaofu, who cares about us people in Qianshou?"

"They are all compassionate hearts to save the suffering!"

The wrinkled old lady spoke sincerely, full of praise for Fusu and Chen Qing.

She pointed to the newly erected lamppost at the intersection, "Look, it was erected by the prince. With it, you won't be afraid to walk at night."

Song Mo nodded lightly, feeling extremely heavy.

He inquired about countless people, and the compliments he heard nearly made his ears callous.

One person may have been deliberately arranged by Chen Qing, but what about ten, a hundred, or a thousand?

Song Mo already had the answer in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he listened to other people's one-sided words and almost killed a good official who was loved by the people by mistake!

"Humph!"

Zhuo Gao couldn't help snorting angrily.

Chen Qing is compassionate?

It's simply a big joke in the world!

This man is clearly a tiger, leopard and jackal who eats people without spitting out their bones!

He also used his salary to distribute coal to the people of Xianyang?

Even if it is the Jiuqing of the imperial court, is his salary a mountain of gold and silver?

If we allow our Zhuo family the privilege of operating coal, I will pay you twice as much!

"May I ask why your honor is glaring?"

"But someone provoked you?"

Song Mo acts chivalrously and despises officials.

Seeing Zhuo Gao throwing his face at him, he immediately asked questions.

"Nothing to do with you."

"I was angry with myself."

Zhuo Gao said in a blunt tone.

Seeing Song Mo's burly figure and extraordinary bravery, he was not to be trifled with, he hesitated and explained: "The people in Qianshou don't know a single word, they are ignorant. His Highness the Crown Prince is well-known for his benevolence and love for the people, and I have admired him for a long time.

But Chen Shaofu of Lei Huo Division... is really not flattering. "

Song Mo inquired all day, and finally heard someone give a different opinion, and immediately asked: "I don't know what evil deeds did Young Master Chen do?"

Zhuo Gao hesitated to speak out, fearing that it would be heard in Chen Qing's ears.

The old lady glared at him bitterly, then took Song Mo's arm and walked to the side.

"Don't listen to the nonsense of such profiteers and villains."

"Neighbors in the neighborhood are spreading rumors that Young Master Chen and His Highness the Crown Prince have punished illegal wealthy businessmen and offended many big shots."

"If it wasn't for His Majesty's concern for family affection, he wouldn't even be able to keep the crown prince's seat!"

The people in Xianyang City are naturally different from other places.

Even the aunt who washes vegetables on the street can talk about court battles and inner palace scandals with nose and eyes. The plot is full of twists and turns, as if she saw it with her own eyes.

Song Mo looked back.

The Zhuo family's carriage is inlaid with gold and silver, rich and luxurious, it is indeed not something ordinary people can afford.

He nodded knowingly, agreeing with what the aunt said.

Seeing this, Zhuo Gao almost exploded his lungs.

Am I a profiteer?

In terms of treachery and viciousness, who can compare with Chen Qing?

"Ashamed to waste my tongue with you."

"let's go."

Zhuo Gao cursed in a low voice, and urged the carriage to drive to Chen Qing's mansion.

Chapter 182 Don't Doubt, This Official Is Domineering

The lights are on, and the night is coming.

Chen Qing paced back and forth at the door, looking up from time to time.

"My lord, the food and drink are ready."

Reba came out of the room and reported in a low voice.

"The guests will come soon, you should burn the charcoal more vigorously."

After Chen Qing finished exhorting, he turned around and saw Ba Shiqing wearing a cloak, rushing along with the stewards of Zhuo and Cheng.

"Young Master Chen, you are being polite."

"The old lady is polite, please hurry up."

Chen Qing greeted him with a smile, and invited the representatives of the three major Bashu merchants into the room.

Everyone sat down separately.

Ba Shiqing turned his head and looked at the burning coal in the bronze charcoal basin, feeling slightly regretful.

"It's cold, everyone, drink a glass of wine to warm up first."

Chen Qing called Reba to serve the hot wine pot, and filled the cups of several people with fragrant rice wine.

Ba Shiqing took a sip, untied the cloak, and handed it to his followers.

"Young Master Chen is busy with business, so I think he will call you for nothing."

"I venture to guess, but is it related to coal?"

Chen Qing said with a smile: "The old lady is really smart and intelligent."

"Yes, it's about coal."

Zhuo Gao immediately cheered up, sat upright, and stared at the other party intently.

"Old lady, please read this first."

Chen Qing took out a folded page from his arms, unfolded it and pushed it over.

"Oh?"

Ba Shiqing was getting old, and his old eyes were dim and he couldn't read the writing on it clearly.

Zhuo Gao's gaze was subconsciously attracted by the huge vermilion seal at the signing place.

"Prince Seal?!"

Before reading the content, just this seal made him feel nervous.

Chen Qing didn't say a word, and looked at the three of them with a smile.

Ba Shiqing winked, and Zhuo Gao had the courage to pick it up.

After a quick scan, his face became extremely ugly.

"What does it say?"

Bashi asked in a deep voice.

"His Royal Highness has decided to allow the private sector to participate in coal mining..."

Zhuo Gao said with a gloomy face.

The steward of the Cheng family immediately beamed with joy.

This is a great thing!

"anything else?"

Ba Shiqing asked unhurriedly.

"Leave this matter to Chen Shaofu with full authority."

Zhuo Gao raised his head and looked deeply at Chen Qing.

As soon as the other party came up, they took out this letter of appointment, and it was clear that they were determined.

"What do you guys think?"

"Didn't you come here on purpose to find this mansion a few days ago, to be eager for coal mining?"

"Why is there no joy on your face?"

Chen Qing asked with a smile.

Zhuo Gao scolded endlessly in his heart.

As long as they changed people, they would have already celebrated with each other.

But Chen Qing is in charge of this matter, so how can it be good?

Ba Shiqing smiled: "Chen Shaofu is fair and honest, with both ability and political integrity. We are naturally very happy that you will preside over this matter."

"You called us here, presumably you already have a plan in mind."

"I don't know what regulations the court plans to make? If you let the wind out, I'll have a better idea."

Chen Qing said quickly: "You are all well-known wealthy merchants in Bashu, with huge family fortunes and strong financial resources."

"I am very grateful to the three of you who are interested in undertaking the coal mining business."

He arched his hands and said: "His Royal Highness, the earnest advice, is still in my ears."

"This matter is not only related to the future policy of the mining industry in the world, but also related to the face of the royal family. There must be no mistakes."

Ba Shiqing nodded with a smile: "What Chen Shaofu said is true."

"Therefore..."

"I don't dare to act rashly. I want to sell a coal mine first to test the waters."

"I hope you can understand."

Chen Qing said seriously.

Zhuo Gao's eyes immediately changed, and he looked at the other two subconsciously.

The three families have always been well watered, and they have strong strengths, and there has never been a precedent for cooperation.

There is only one mine that Chen Qing took out, how should they divide it?

Ba Shiqing asked calmly: "Then how to get this mine?"

"On sale to the public, the one with the highest price will get it."

Chen Qing said happily.

Zhuo Gao was upset, and asked angrily, "Where is this mine? What is the price?"

"The mine...hasn't been decided yet."

"The price is tentatively set to start at [-] shi."

"Only grain, not gold, silver and copper coins."

Chen Qing gave the answer.

Zhuo Gao's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief: "My lord, are you playing tricks on us?"

"Oh, I don't know why you made such a statement?"

Chen Qing looked at him playfully.

"You don't know where the mine is yet, so you set a price of [-] stone grains."

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid the grain will not be counted until it is shipped to Xianyang?"
