Changsun Wuji flicked his sleeves and said, "Thirty thousand guan."
"Ten thousand strings!"
"You... Du He, don't push people too much, you are bullying them!" Changsun Wuji roared angrily.
Du He said with a smile: "Master Changsun, please correct your attitude. Now I am here to wipe your butt. How much coal is there in the Beast King Mountain? Others don't know it, but you don't know it yourself. Humph, these thousands of people swarmed up,
I'm afraid that the mining will be finished in less than a year, and when the time comes, let these people drink from the northwest wind!"
"You..." Zhang Sunchang suddenly turned pale with shock, "How did you know?"
Yes, the coal reserves in Beast King Mountain are not large, and the Changsun family has known about this for a long time.
Now, after Du He said it, not to mention Changsun Chong, even Changsun Wuji was a little unable to stand.
Du He did not answer Chang Sun Chong's question, but said: "Ten thousand guan, this is my limit. If I have an extra penny, I won't want to work in that shabby coal mine. You can keep it for your retirement."
Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said: "Okay, ten thousand dollars, Du He, from now on, the Beast King Mountain Coal Mine is yours, and as for the people, you should also take care of it."
"Of course, Mr. Changsun is indeed very courageous. In this case, I will definitely solve this matter perfectly and give an explanation to His Majesty and everyone in the world..." Du He said with a smile.
A difficult matter was solved in this way. Li Er was in a very happy mood and couldn't help but praise Du He.
Du He quickly sent 10,000 yuan to Sikong Mansion and obtained the title deed of the Beast King Mountain Coal Mine from Chang Sun Wuji. After that, Chang Sun Chong summoned people from the anti-Du He alliance to Zuixian Tower for discussion and indirectly expressed his opinion.
What His Majesty Li Er means is to sell all the coal mines to Du He. The price will be determined by Du He. If anyone is unwilling, then he can solve the problems in his own coal mines by himself. He only has three days. If he cannot solve it within three days, everything will be resolved.
Dispatched to Lingnan.
At this time, no one dared to say no, so they all sold the coal mines to Du He.
There are fifteen coal mines in total, and Du He only spent one thousand guan on it.
At this point, the entire coal mines around Chang'an all belong to the Dream Group.
This merger is of huge scale.
It can be said to be one of the major historical events in the seventh year of Zhenguan. First of all, Du He was ordered to annex the coal mines. Secondly, the annexation of the coal mines was not to make money, but to solve the livelihood problems of the people who came before him. Naturally, he will remember this.
Yuchi Baolin went from being the mine manager of Lantian Coal Mine to taking charge of seventeen coal mines, which was quite large in scale.
In the afternoon of that day, Du He gathered more than 200,000 briquettes produced by Beast King Mountain and other coal mines outside Yongning Gate and piled them into a mountain. He invited the people of Chang'an City to come to the city gate to watch and smash the briquettes. Because these briquettes were similar to those produced by Lantian Coal Mine.
The briquettes must be of poor quality. When burned, there is not only thick smoke but also a pungent smell. The second reason is that they are a little too small. One briquette cannot be seen clearly, but a dozen briquettes stacked together can make a difference.
The height of a briquette.
Therefore, Du He ordered that all these briquettes be destroyed so that the people could not be harmed. Even those who had purchased this kind of briquettes before could go to the Lantian coal yard to exchange them for free on a one-to-one basis.
In this way, Du He became famous again, and his reputation among the people rose rapidly. When everyone praised Du He, they naturally couldn't help but scold the cunning businessman of the Changsun family.
Subsequently, Duhe re-evaluated the 16 merged coal mines and temporarily closed nine of them, because these nine coal mines are all deep mines and are very difficult to mine. With the technology of this era, mining is very risky.
, so it must be shut down.
Since then, there have been eight coal mines in normal operation.
When Yuchi Gong knew that his son was in charge of so many coal mines, he laughed from ear to ear all day long. He no longer obstructed Yuchi Baolin and Yuan Xiu's affairs, but instead urged Yuchi Baolin to act quickly and get a grandson.
Come out and play.
…
Beast King Mountain.
I don’t know when this name was passed down, and no one can understand the process.
At this moment, Du He, Yuchi Baolin, Mu Zongsi and others were in the mountains behind the coal mine.
Heavy snow has sealed the mountain, but along the way, holes have been drilled in many places.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Du He and his party came deeper into the mountains.
Yuchi Baolin introduced: "The land we bought from the Changsun family is actually not big. The land we are standing on, as well as several surrounding mountains, all belong to the Changsun family."
Du He chewed the dry food in his mouth and asked, "Are you sure?"
Mu Zongsi nodded excitedly: "Master, I'm sure, there are too many iron ores buried down here... Starting from the depths of the Beast King Mountain coal mine, all the way to here, there are iron ores for about twelve miles."
hiss!
Everyone present took a breath of air.
There is actually rich iron ore buried underground at a distance of more than ten miles, which means that if it is mined, Dream Group will not be short of iron in the future.
The eyes of each man became fiery.
Du He was calm and said: "This matter is highly confidential. If anyone tells it, don't blame me for sending him to Lantian to dig coal for thirty years... Rich iron ore reserves are certainly a good thing, but according to the
According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, all iron must be controlled by the government, so once the news is leaked, not only will we not get any benefits, but we may also get into trouble..."
Everyone immediately nodded cautiously.
Fortunately, except for Yuchi Baolin and Mu Zongsi, everyone present was Venous Fang's confidant, so Du He was not worried that anyone would leak the news.
"Also," Du He paused and continued, "Although there are a lot of iron ore in the Beast King Mountain Coal Mine, most of the iron ore is still on the land of the Changsun family. This land must be bought."
Zhang Jian said: "That's not easy. Just give the eldest son's family seven or eight thousand guan. This is all waste land. It's useless for the eldest son's family to hold it in their hands. They might as well sell it to us."
Du He raised his hand and stopped: "This matter cannot be made public, just to scare the snake. If Changsun Wuji finds something wrong and sends someone to investigate, wouldn't it be exposed? This young master still needs to think about this matter.
, smooth out all traces, and now return to Dream Group."
"yes!"
Everyone took action quickly.
Soon, all traces of everyone's activities were wiped away.
Everyone quickly disappeared into the mountains.
Back at Dream Group, Du He didn't even have time to eat, so he took the iron ore dug by Mu Zongsi and others from the depths of Beast King Mountain to the R&D center and handed it over to Yuan Tiangang himself.
The current R&D center is most indispensable for iron-making craftsmen.
It didn't take long for the results to come out.
"Get rich, get rich..."
"Get rich..."
Yuan Tiangang was as excited as an eight-year-old child about the Chinese New Year. He rushed to Du He and danced with joy.
Du He was speechless for a while. (To be continued)
