Chapter 16 Disputes among the Four Families
"Since that's the case, Qin is even more responsible. Your Highness will do the same as long as our Qin family doesn't let us suffer."
Qin Mu looked righteous.
But he knew in his heart that if this novel coal ball furnace could be successfully launched, it might bring generous profits to the Qin family.
When Qin Mu was eating alone, Wang Shijie was unhappy. He said, "Brother Qin, you are greedy, how can you Qin's family monopolize this opportunity to make a fortune?"
Then, Wang Shijie looked at Xiao Ming and said, "When you go back to your highness, there is a horse team in your family. Qin Mu takes the waterway. After all, there are still some places that cannot be reached. Our Wang family can help you in the rest of the place."
"That's right, our Sun family also has a horse team." Sun Dong echoed.
Wei Qing and Qin Mu looked at each other with a slightly unhappy look.
These four people quarreled, and Xiao Ming observed carefully, and he was secretly happy.
Now it is obviously Wang Shijie and Sun Dong who help each other, while Qin Mu and Wei Qing stand together.
From this we can see that the four major wealthy families in Qingzhou are not a solid piece of solid body. The surface is calm, but the inside is intrigue.
Xiao Ming was not afraid of them fighting, but was afraid that they would not fight. In this way, he could make profits from it.
"Everyone, please stop arguing. You are the ones I trust the most. I don't want to be biased. In this way, I have an idea. Since you all want to take over this coal ball stove, it is better to compete fairly. I don't care how much silver you sell to others, but whoever you give to buy a coal ball stove from me will give it to whom I will give it to."
Xiao Ming's eyes turned and then said, "For fairness, each of you will prepare a secret letter tomorrow. The letter is the price of buying a coal briquette stove from me. When the time comes, the price will be opened in public. What will happen if the price is higher?"
"This is a solution, Your Highness is wise." Wang Shijie bowed to Xiao Ming, but looked at Qin Mu provocatively.
It means who is afraid of whom!
"Then let's do what Your Highness said!" Qin Mu did not give in.
Xiao Ming was very happy. He originally didn't have much hope for gas stoves, but now the four families are fighting, so he can take advantage of it.
"In order to let the four of you know the convenience of this gas stove, you can take this sample back and show it to each one." Xiao Ming still maintained the surface lightness and could not let them see their own psychology.
Wang Shijie bowed to Xiao Ming and asked the accompanying servants to walk out with the stove.
The other three also bowed and left at this time.
"Your Highness, are you asking the craftsmen to build coal ball furnaces now?" Chen Longwen asked with a smile.
He was watching the whole process. Originally, the coal ball furnace made Wang Shijie and Sun Dong worthless, but he didn't expect that Qin Mu was too greedy and caused cracks to appear in the four families that had advanced and retreated together.
Xiao Ming glanced at Chen Wenlong, "What do you think? You won't have much time to have free time in the future."
"Your Highness, the official is not afraid of being busy, but is afraid of being idle." Chen Longwen showed himself in a timely manner.
Xiao Ming nodded, "When the silver arrives, we will start to do the hydraulic lathe workshop."
After explaining the coal ball furnace, Xiao Ming returned to the royal palace under Lu Fei's escort.
At this time, Wang Shijie also returned to the Wang family with a gas stove. For this matter, the four families gathered in the Wang family again.
"Shijie, do you think this thing was made by Your Highness? "Wang Chengchou said at the burning coal ball stove.
"There will be no fake, and I have never seen such things in other places in Dayu?" Wang Shijie said.
"Mr. Wang, what kind of coal stove does burn coal? What do you think?" Qin Chuanyun asked. He was Qin Mu's father.
Wang Chengchou gently twisted his beard, and Qin Chuanyun called him a whisper and made him very useful, although this whisper was just a name obtained by a wealthy businessman for money.
However, the status of merchants is declining, and this title can also express comfort.
"This coal ball stove is indeed interesting. It is very convenient to boil water, cook vegetables, and warm wine. The fire size can be controlled at will. The most important point is that it is not easy to extinguish. Moreover, the coal balls below are burned out, just change the coal balls. If you want, the coal ball stove can never extinguish."
"What Wang Yuanwai said makes sense. It would be nice if there is such a thing in the house in winter."
A thin old man sat beside Qin Chuanyun, but Sun Dong's father Sun Yuanzhi.
"Since you all think that this coal ball furnace is good, then according to Your Highness's method, the four of us will write a secret letter. In this way, there is no need to argue about the coal ball furnace of any operator."
Wei Qing's father Wei Hong said loudly that he and Wei Qing are very similar, both are blushing men.
Because of Wei Hong's words, the yard became silent for a moment, and the four families looked at each other, each with their own ideas.
Since the coal ball stove was brought in the Wang family, he has been thinking about it. "Since that's the case, Wang won't leave you. Whoever takes over the operation of this coal ball stove tomorrow, I hope everyone won't be hurt by the harmony."
"Since that's the case, we will say goodbye." Wei Hong was the first to stand up and say goodbye.
Then Sun Yuanzhi and Qin Chuanyun left one after another.
Everyone was dispersed, and Wang Shijie said at this time: "Dad, this coal ball stove is novel, but I don't think the price will exceed three or two silver patterns."
"Hehe, you said three liang, but this time we will take over this coal briquette furnace for operation even if it is five liang or ten liang." Wang Chengchou said with his eyes narrowed.
"Why?" Wang Shijie was puzzled.
"I'll ask you, what is our Wang family selling?" Wang Chengchou looked disappointed.
"Coal..." Wang Shijie suddenly realized, "Dad, what you mean is that if this coal ball stove can sell well, our coal..."
Wang Chengchou laughed, "That's right, I just counted that if this coal ball stove is burned for a day, it will require at least six coal balls. If every household in the Dayu Kingdom uses a gas stove, wouldn't our Wang family be rich enough to rival a country?"
Wang Shijie was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "Dad, is Your Highness King Qi really our lucky star?"
Wang Chengchou twisted his beard with a smile, put away his smile and said seriously: "Shijie, there is something you want to go to your highness alone to tell him."
"Dad, you give me instructions." Wang Shijie said respectfully. He has been afraid of Wang Chengchou since he was a child.
"No matter whether we are a Wang family or any other company, this coal ball furnace has little impact on us. The biggest thing is the coal ball business. Look, the coal balls sent by King Qi are very regular, the size, square and position of the holes inside are the same, which fits very well with the coal ball furnace. If you are slightly different, you cannot put them in. Moreover, the coal balls are crushed and glued together by coal blocks. They are very hard and difficult to make."
"You mean to ask your highness to find out how the coal balls are produced?"
