Chapter 339: Wangs conscience is greatly damagedXuan
"Sanming produces coal, I think you two know it." Wang Xuan tapped his finger on the table and said in a deep voice.
"That kind of black stone that can be burned?" You Yongnan asked.
"That's right." Wang Xuan nodded and continued expressionlessly: "I want as much of this coal as I want."
"Before, I don't want to mention the matter between you and my family anymore, and you don't want to make any more decisions about that land. You must also know about the new port I am building, so I will not allow a second port to appear in Fuzhou Prefecture.
of."
"When the coal business is done, it will be a hundred times better than the little one you planned. Don't think about wielding swords and guns all day long. You have strong limbs and a simple mind. Read more and use your brain. There are many places to make money."
!”
Wang Xuan is sure of this. Coal boss has always been synonymous with rich people!
Doesn’t this look down on us?
This must be looking down on us, right?
The corners of Lu Wenkang and You Yongnan's eyes twitched fiercely a few times, and they gritted their teeth and looked at each other. If this was not Fuzhou City, and if they weren't afraid of not being able to escape, they would really want to kill Wang Xuan with a knife!
What do you mean by saying this? Don’t think about wielding swords and guns. Do you think we don’t know that you, Wang, are also masters?
Pretend to be like the real thing!
We read too much and use our brains. This is calling us brainless, right?
MMP!
These sour scholars have really poisonous mouths!
I really can't bear it... Lu Wenkang looked directly at Wang Xuan for a long time... "Hahaha, Mr. Wang is right, I will study more when I go back. Well, how do you calculate the price of coal?"
"I'll give you 20 copper coins for every thousand pounds."
Lu Wenkang and You Yongnan looked at each other and quickly lowered their heads to calculate.
How much can they carry on one ship? How much time does it take along the way? How many people are needed? How much coal can each strong laborer mine per day?
The numbers became more complicated as they were calculated, and after a while, their eyes began to spin...
There are fruit on the tree, you and me under the tree.
Looking at each other, is there any profit in this?
It was hard to figure it out. The two of them looked up and saw Wang Xuan's teasing eyes. They looked at each other. This was really embarrassing. They really didn't study enough!
"Hehe, hehe!" The two of them showed an awkward yet polite smile.
"Don't forget it. You can use gunpowder to open mountains and mines. You can buy gunpowder from me. Each strong laborer will be paid 8-10 cents per day. Mining 10,000 kilograms of coal is not a big problem. You can settle according to the amount of coal mined per person per day."
"It takes two or three days to go all the way down the river to Fuzhou Prefecture. Including loading and unloading, the cost per 10,000 kilograms is about 30 Wen, and the profit is about seven times!"
Wang Xuan spoke eloquently, and the two of them were dumbfounded!
I don’t read much, so don’t lie to me!
Of course, it’s hard to show it on your face. I can only smile and nod to express that Mr. Wang is right. I understood it as soon as I heard it!
I just muttered in my heart, this Mr. Wang is so kind, seven times more!
What a concept!
This is faster than making money by pouring laundry detergent!
In fact, this is for sure. Otherwise, why would the coal bosses not mention other industries if they are all tycoons?
Moreover, the profits are high and the risks are high. This kind of business cannot be done by ordinary people. Without the force of Wuhumen, if you want to occupy such a big business, you will not survive long!
In fact, even in modern times, when indiscriminate mining is possible without a license, one has to be prepared to die at any time in the fight for a mine!
Using knives and guns is definitely not something to fool people!
That's why Wang Xuancai can only find Wuhumen to do this. Of course, if you want to say that Wang Xuanan has any good intentions... then you can only hehe!
Coal was definitely worthless before Wang Xuan got involved, but after that it became black gold!
The source of power for a public revolution is no worse than oil.
There is a reason why there is no large-scale application now. Coal-burning stoves are different from firewood-burning stoves. Coal stoves need to be made of iron, a lot of iron. At this time, the price of iron is extremely high, and people simply cannot afford it. It is too expensive. Besides, iron
Production cannot meet demand.
We must know that in the early Yongle years of the Ming Dynasty, the iron output was 19.575026 kilograms.
This translates to less than 10W tons. When China was first liberated, China's annual steel output was only more than 130,000 tons, and the main production area was Northeast China.
Therefore, people mainly still burn firewood.
There is a saying that money moves people's hearts. When the time comes, what travels on the Min River will not be boats, but flowing money. If Wuhumen wants to monopolize such a large business, Wang Xuan can only sigh...
Wang Xuan definitely didn't believe that Wuhumen could give up such a big and fragrant bait after sending two people away!
After the two people left, a hidden door on the wall was pushed open, and Qinghongzaobai and Tian Boguang were hiding inside. If the two people from Wuhumen made the slightest move, they would be immediately killed by Wang Xuan on the spot.
"Huh!" Qinghongzaobai snorted coldly. Seeing that the enemy's leader was right in front of him and unable to take action, he (she) felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, this is a hot potato, and their Wuhumen are in big trouble!"
"Huh? What do you say!" Qinghongsao immediately became interested.
Wang Xuan explained the key points inside, and the flowers were trembling with giggles.
Tian Boguang glanced at Wang Xuan with a troubled expression, and sighed deeply, luckily he was one of his own!
These scholars are really bad, their consciences are greatly damaged!
Killing without blood, dying without knowing how!
Not only is the heart black, but the bones are also black!
I don’t know when Liu will sell you, but you still have to help him count the money!
Speaking of which, have you ever been sold?
Sighing, don’t you know?
Wang Xuan glanced at Tian Boguang curiously and didn't ask any more questions. It was not normal for people to have troubles in life. He could tell the other person what he would say.
…
The next day, Wang Xuan went outside the city to find Wei Pengyun again.
It has been almost two months since Zui Hongchen married Wei Pengyun. The thousand people borrowed by Wang Xuan have also built the first textile factory. By the way, the technology for firing red bricks and cement has also been developed. Now the mine is also owned by Wang Xuan.
After Xuan bought it, all that was left was to increase manpower and prepare to open the mine and build the factory!
In need of manpower, Wang Xuan immediately thought of Wei Pengyun, and now he has the most people!
The labor force in this era is basically farmers and tenants. It is not impossible to recruit workers, but it takes time!
"Brother-in-law!"
"Uncle!"
The two of them burst into laughter as soon as they met. Recently, as a newlywed, Wei Pengyun spent almost all day in the boudoir of Zuihongchen. If he did not exchange his life experiences twice a day, he would feel uncomfortable in terms of human relations.
But even with the daily expedition, Wei Pengyun was still in good spirits, but in Wang Xuan's view, the loss of essence and blood inside his body was a bit large.
I secretly murmured in my heart, this Zui Hongchen is very cruel. If this continues, Wei Pengyun will be sucked dry by her in less than a year!
