While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone!
This is real human nature and reality!
In short, Jia Rong's purpose of writing the story "Treasure Basin" has been achieved.
Because of its exciting story and refreshing content, it once became one of the hot topics in the capital city.
The influence is still very great, and at the same time, the audience is also aware of the huge profits of the briquette business.
Some businessmen who are powerful but have no connections or information channels are extremely excited right now.
In the story of "Cornucano", it is clearly explained how the coal mine operates, how to make briquettes and briquette stoves, and how to put them on the market.
As long as they have the novel "Cornucano" in hand, they can follow it and learn from it without having to fumble around.
This is amazing!
Not to mention the time saved, there is also the high 'tuition fee' that may be extorted and exploited by the powerful and local powerful.
It is also because of this that the novel book "Cornucopia" has been sold out as soon as possible, no matter how many copies were printed.
Not only the small businessmen who have no connections and channels are interested, but also those powerful families who lack strength or are already in decline do not want to miss such a great opportunity to make money.
They do not have the ability to build large and medium-sized coal mines, but small coal mines are still not a problem.
It is also because of this that the price of small coal mines in the capital city has been rising rapidly with the popularity of "Treasure Basin".
Of course, there are also many businessmen and dilapidated noble families who have taken the initiative to defect to the Ning Rong Mansion.
Ahem, this has to be said about the powerful role of public opinion propaganda after "Cornucopia" became popular.
Anyone who is not a fool knows that the Jia family in the story refers to the Ningrong Second Mansion in the capital.
Some powerful people just laughed at Jia Rong's behavior of embellishing their own families in the novel.
But they don't know that most of those who have no access, or are hesitant to enter the coal business, mostly believe the novel's propaganda.
At least, they subconsciously felt that if they followed Ning Rong's second house, at least they would not be cheated.
By the time the other big bosses came to their senses, the Ning Mansion had gathered many weak small businessmen and corrupt noble forces.
As for Rongfu, he was in a state of confusion and didn't know what happened.
After all, the influence of Rongfu's brand is limited, and its sphere of influence has long been fixed. There are only so many businessmen willing to actively contribute. It has been fixed for a long time, and they are all familiar faces.
Suddenly, a group of strange businessmen came to join them. Even though the entire Rong family was short-sighted, they did not dare to accept it easily.
Needless to say, Jia Mu's control over the entire Rong Mansion was naturally the first to know the news. She was puzzled and called her two sons and grandson Lianer to inquire.
Mr. Pardon has been staying at home in his mansion and is relatively slow to understand the news from the outside world. He really doesn't know what's going on.
As for Mr. Zheng, he has no idea.
Apart from going to the Yamen for paddling, when he was in the house, he basically chatted and played with a group of guests and lived in his own world.
Because of the leisurely official position, there is basically no social interaction outside.
At present, among the four major families in Jinling, the two princes of the Shi family have two idle posts in the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. In other words, their names are bluffing, but they actually have no real power.
Wang Ziteng, who was the boss of the local garrison, was still the number one member of the four major families in Jinling at this time. Unfortunately, his influence in the capital had shrunk greatly.
The Xue family is a money bag. With the sudden death of the family leader a few years ago, the influence and strength at this time are rapidly shrinking.
The situation in the Jia Jiarong Mansion is pretty good, and the deputy envoy of the General Affairs Department, served as the second master of the government, is not really useless.
The General Affairs Department is responsible for the communication between the local government and the court, that is, matters such as communication between the upper and lower levels.
It can be said that as the deputy envoy of the General Affairs Department, Mr. Zheng, if he is willing, can have a general understanding of the specific local situation.
This is quite an advantage!
It's just a pity that it is obvious that Mr. Zheng does not have such excellent political wisdom.
His behavior in the General Administration Bureau was actually similar to that in the Ministry of Works.
Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for him to have no understanding of what happened in Jin Province.
Lian Er, on the other hand, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Old lady, my grandson has some guesses, but I don't know if they are accurate?"
"Oh, tell me!"
Mother Jia's eyes flashed, and she suddenly became interested.
"I wonder, old lady, have you ever heard of the story "The Cornucopia"?"
“Of course I’ve heard of it, it’s a very interesting story book!”
"Then I wonder, old lady, what do you think of the Jia family in the story?"
"You mean, those businessmen who suddenly came to your door came after hearing the story of "The Cornucopia"?"
"Yes, my grandson estimates that these businessmen treat the Jia family in the story as the Rong family!"
"They are really..."
Jia Mu didn't know what to say for a moment, and she felt it was ridiculous.
Some people actually equated the existence in the storybook with the real-life Rongfu.
Lian Er was a little hesitant and said hesitantly: "Old lady, the Dongfu next door has chosen to accept the merchants with good conduct among the businessmen who came to offer their services!"
"Well, what do Brother Rong think?"
Jia's mother had a bad tone and said angrily: "Can such a thing be done?"
In her opinion, Jia Rong was completely cheating. Once the matter was exposed, the reputation of the Jia family in the capital would be severely damaged.
"old lady!"
Lian Er hesitated and said: "The author who wrote "The Cornucopia" is probably Brother Rong himself!"
"What? The story "Treasure Basin" was written by Brother Rong?"
Mother Jia's surprise was no small matter. She immediately reacted and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean, the Jia family in "The Cornucopia" is not the Rong Mansion, but the Ning Mansion?"
Without waiting for Lian Er's answer, she shook her head and said in denial: "Impossible. Ning Mansion is in Jin Province. How can there be a large coal mine?"
"I've also heard that story. Without the support of large coal mines, those businessmen who take the initiative to come to your door and work for you will not get any benefits in the end!"
"Old lady, the Ning Mansion should, perhaps, control more than one large coal mine in Jin Province!"
Lian Er smiled bitterly and said: "When I was drinking with some friends from the noble mansion recently, I heard them say something about it!"
"It seems that the briquettes and briquette stoves that are currently popular in the capital were also invented by Brother Rong!"
"The purge that broke out in Shanxi Province in the middle of the year was caused by Brother Rong and a group of Zixungui families. I think it is not difficult to seize a large coal mine in Shanxi Province with his cleverness and methods!"
When talking about this, Lian Er felt a little disappointed...
