Ancient promotion routine

When Zhang Yanjin saw that everyone was a little excited by his words, he added fuel and continued: "Don't you think this is very fulfilling? Me, and you will all be famous in history because of this!"

It is necessary to prescribe the right medicine to understand it with reason and to move it with emotion.Zhang Yanjin knows that people in this era pay attention to fame and integrity, unlike businessmen who value profit. These people are craftsmen, only for craftsmanship and fame. Besides, Datong, Xizhou is really a bit desolate. If he doesn't encourage these craftsmen They stayed with him, and within a few days, more than half of them left. How can he implement his idea of ​​establishing the first coal base in Dawei?

More importantly, these people are all superb craftsmen he dug out after observing for a period of time, so now he has to use his personal charm to make them stay.

"Erlang is right! Whoever wants to go, I must stay and follow Erlang!" Even those who were hesitant just now gave up their hesitation and said with enthusiasm: "We have traveled thousands of miles to follow Erlang Datong, isn’t it just to make a career? How can you be intimidated by the difficulties in front of you?”

"That's right, Erlang is right, this Datong is a vast ocean, full of undiscovered treasures, waiting for us to develop!" The craftsmen can be said to be united.

Liu Tieniu, who poured tea and water for Zhang Yanjin and the others, was dumbfounded. He looked at Zhang Yanjin and his group like a fool, and hesitated to speak.

However, thinking of the heavy copper coins that Zhang Wuyi gave him, and the mentality of honest people not being able to watch others jump into the fire pit, he finally gritted his teeth, pulled Zhang Wuyi aside and said, "Big brother, I am Seeing your sincerity, you gave me so much money, so I can speak straight."

Zhang Wu was confused when he heard that, he frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong?" Could it be that there is something wrong with this store?

"Then I'll just say it straight." Liu Tieniu swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva. After all, Zhang Wuyi was neatly dressed, and the cloth was made of high-quality satin. He had heard the old village chief say that the satin was woven from fine linen silk. It is simply not comparable to the coarse cloth they wear.

"Let's talk." Zhang Wuyi was a little impatient.

Liu Tieniu glanced at Zhang Yanjin again, thinking that this rich man was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he didn't know the sufferings of the world, and he took it for granted that he wanted to do a great job, and he would fall so badly that even his mother didn't know him.

But he thought about it again, he is a big man with a golden spoon in his mouth, no matter what, he is better off than them, is he just worrying about it?

"What's the matter?" Zhang Wu became more and more impatient when he saw that Liu Tieniu didn't speak for a long time.

Liu Tieniu gritted his teeth and finally plucked up the courage to say: "I've lived here for decades, and I haven't found any treasures at all. Besides, if there were treasures, our people would have dug them up long ago. How can I return them?" You come to dig here? You really think too much!"

To be honest, Zhang Wuyi was also a little nervous, after all, he knew very well whether Erlang had been to Datong before.

Although their Erlang invented stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes during this period, they invented them all by accident. Erlang is usually ignorant, and his favorite place to go is restaurants. How could he know what treasures are not treasures?He also said that Datong should be developed into a prosperous and rich place. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Zhang Wuyi became more and more worried after thinking about it.

At this moment, someone happened to ask: "Erlang, we have already decided to stay and do it with you, so don't be foolish and tell us what is the treasure of Datong in Xizhou?"

Zhang Yanjin didn't intend to hide anything, he said directly: "Coal."

"Coal?" A stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and there were exclamations in the small hall.

"How can coal be considered a treasure? Erlang, are you kidding me?"

Then Liu Tieniu laughed out loud when he heard that, as expected, these rich kids are sticks!If that coal was a treasure, would they have kept that coal until now?

Zhang Wuyi also completely gave up this time, their Erlang is still that dandy, he only knows Erlang who is whimsical, but now Erlang is not focusing on fine wine and women, but has changed to whimsical, thinking that he can build a career up.

He was faintly worried, if he couldn't stop Erlang, what would he do?Treating coal as a treasure, won't it make people laugh out loud?

But Zhang Yanjin was still standing in front of all the craftsmen, and Zhang Wuyi couldn't stop him, so he could only keep looking at Zhang Yanjin, hoping that he would stop talking.

After laughing enough, Liu Tieniu said: "Look, what I said, if we really have treasures here, would we have dug them up early? Even if there is no treasure to dig, you can't take the black and poisonous coal As a baby?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Wuyi: "Is the food ready?"

Liu Tieniu was frightened by Zhang Wuyi's gloomy face, and he replied in a muffled voice: "Not yet." After speaking, he turned around and went to the back kitchen to help his wife Cuixia, and by the way, he couldn't restrain himself. He told his wife Cuixia how proud he was of living here.This rich man is really stupid. Is this what God said to give a person money but not a person's brains?

Amidst the doubts of the crowd, Zhang Yanjin remained calm and composed. He had expected that the crowd would react like this. After all, in everyone's perception, coal was just a poisonous substance.

"Coal is indeed poisonous, but we all know that the heat released by burning coal is many times that of charcoal. Why can't we find a way to remove the poison in coal and make coal usable?" Zhang Yanjin was not in a hurry. road.

As soon as these words came out, the small hall quickly fell silent.Zhang Yanjin's train of thought seemed to find another way in their rigid thinking, which made their minds flash.Yes, why has no one ever thought of removing the poisonous things in coal and making coal usable?

If coal can be used by people, wouldn't the inexhaustible coal of Datong become a huge treasure?

"Erlang is really a master!" One of them was shocked.It may be difficult to remove the poison in this coal, but it is not impossible.

They can't completely give up using coal just because it's difficult!It's a pity that no one has come up with such a simple idea for so many years.

Zhang Wuyi was also stunned, who said that Erlang is just a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun?They, Erlang, are just unwilling to use their brains on serious business!If they use it for more serious business, their Erlang will be able to show their talents, which is amazing!

"Can Erlang have a way to remove the toxic substances in the coal?" asked Liu Tou, a veteran who came with Zhang Yanjin.

Zhang Yanjin shook her head slightly, this will not be known until the coal is dug out and we experiment.Now that he knows that he has to say he doesn't know, if he says he does now, won't he be exposed?

The owner of his body is a dandy, where has he come into contact with such things as coal?If he said it rashly, wouldn't it be in vain to arouse suspicion?

"All of us present here are experts in fortifications. We also believe in me, Zhang Yanjin, who followed me, Zhang Yanjin, to come here. Naturally, I, Zhang Yanjin, will not treat you badly. Now that I have told you all about my plan, if any of you If you want to leave, I, Zhang Yanjin, will never stop you, and I will compensate you three times the travel expenses." Zhang Yanjin looked extremely sincere.

None of the veterans sat there moving, and the craftsmen also looked firm at this time, showing no intention of leaving.If they really followed Zhang Yanjin to remove the poison in the coal and let the coal be widely used in Wei, wouldn't they become famous craftsmen in Wei?This is the dream of many craftsmen!

"Since we came here with Erlang, we naturally want to do something with Erlang!" Finally one of the craftsmen stood up and expressed his determination.

As soon as he said this, other craftsmen also began to express their determination, and none of them said they would leave.

Zhang Yanjin immediately took the case and said: "Okay, since that's the case, everyone will eat and drink tonight, and early tomorrow morning, go up the mountain with me to investigate the location of the coal mine!"

Although he has been here in his previous life and knows roughly where the coal mines are mined, but the current Datong is different from the Datong thousands of years later, he still needs to carefully screen to know.

A group of craftsmen responded immediately.

Just at this time Liu Tieniu and his wife Cuixia came in with food, Liu Tieniu saw the people who were united as one, and he once again burst out laughing honestly.Just now, he thought that only the young man in the silk shirt in the head had a problem with his brain, but he didn't expect that this group of people really had a problem with his brain.

It seems that God is indeed fair, although he is not very rich, but he is not a fool, and he has a wife Cuixia who is as smart and capable as him.

Cuixia heard Liu Tieniu's laughter, and kicked Liu Tieniu hard from behind, signaling Liu Tieniu not to laugh, and be careful not to offend others.These wealthy sons and gentlemen are not something ordinary people like them can afford to offend.

Liu Tieniu also noticed that he was laughing inappropriately, but luckily no one noticed his laughter, so he quickly lowered his head, placed the food on each table with Cuixia, and said: "Everyone, please slow down." use."

After finishing speaking, Liu Tieniu took Cui Xia to the back.

At the end, Liu Tieniu still didn't forget to say: "If you have something to do, call me, and I will come out after you call."

Zhang Yanjin looked at the rough porcelain bowl on the table containing stewed tofu with cabbage, boiled vegetables, and a plate of mutton. He suddenly felt a little hard to eat.

There are also chickens, ducks and fishes at the station along the way. These meats are really more delicious than modern ones, which are very suitable for his taste. difference.

But after thinking about it, everything was difficult at the beginning, and when all the trivial matters were settled, he invited a good chef from Chang'an to cook and the problem was solved, and he felt much more at ease.

Everyone saw that Zhang Yanjin started to move their chopsticks, so they started to move their chopsticks too. Although the food here is not as good as Chang'an and the post station, it is not impossible to eat, besides, Erlang is eating too much, isn't he?

After dinner, everyone slept in the room arranged by Liu Tieniu and Cuixia.Because this inn is really too small, Zhang Yanjin and his party lived in this small inn to a full capacity.
