From the gate of heaven

Chapter 69 [The first career in another world is on the right track]

"Zi Yi."

Gao Fei greeted warmly.

Beside him, Li He and Liu Pei were standing.

Behind the three of them, apart from following the yamen servants, there was also an army formation of a hundred people neatly lined up.

A few days ago, Lin Ze saw these soldiers patrolling the area from Fengping County to the coal mine, and today they were directly brought to the mining area by their boss.

And beside this big battle, there are many other businessmen.

Lin Ze is mobilizing the normal operation of the entire coal mine, and Gao Fei is not idle. These merchants are the customers that Gao Fei is responsible for contacting.

And Gao Fei's method of contacting customers is also very simple. After he asked his blacksmith to build enough coal stoves, he directly used his identity as the master bookkeeper to gather the merchants in the city and demonstrated to them how to use coal on the spot.

And it stated the cheap price of coal for one penny and five catties.

Proper use of coal will not cause poisoning, and it has the advantages of longer burning time and stronger heat. You only need to build an additional coal stove to use it for a long time.

Such a good fuel, there is no reason for everyone to refuse.

So many merchants readily agreed to buy coal, and today they came to the coal mine in Heishi Village.

At this time, seeing Lin Ze appearing, many miners also surrounded him.

They were not just watching the fun, but were actually a little worried.

This is an official and a member of the army. Could it be that he is here to trouble Mr. Lin?

Many miners received high wages in the coal mine, and they also ate high-standard meals every day. All this was brought to them by the coal mine opened by Mr. Lin.

Such a good life has not passed for a few days, and they don't want it to end for no reason.

Although many miners dare not directly confront the government, they still dare to come here to give Lin Zezhuang a big boost at this moment.

However, at this time, seeing a high-ranking official greet their Master Lin proactively, many miners were relieved, and it seemed that things were not going in a bad direction.

"Uncle, Lord Liu, Lord Gao."

Lin Ze came over and greeted the three officials first.

The three smiled and nodded in response.

"Zi Yi, come, let me introduce you. This is the shopkeeper of Yuelai Restaurant, and this is the shopkeeper of Qian's Mutton Restaurant. They are all here to buy coal."

Afterwards, Gao Fei began to pull Lin Ze to introduce clients to him.

Normally, Gao Fei would not be so polite to a group of merchants, but today, seeing that everyone came to give him money, Gao Fei made an exception and introduced everyone.

"I have met all the shopkeepers, and I will trouble you to take care of the business today."

Lin Ze greeted everyone politely.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin on the official opening of the coal mine. A small gift is not a tribute."

These businessmen also said auspicious words in their mouths at this time.

In addition, some cakes and nuts wrapped in red paper were also presented, which are not very valuable, but they are also a small gift from the heart.

Just now, Lin Ze and the county magistrate, the magistrate and the chief secretary greeted each other in a familiar way, they all saw it.

These people dare not even offend the masters who are in charge of them, let alone the county magistrates and magistrates with higher status, but Lin Ze can chat and laugh happily with these big shots, which shows Lin Ze's high status.

"Thank you for your gifts. Today, my Blackstone Coal Mine has a happy opening, and I will give everyone a [-]% discount."

Asking the servant to accept the gift, Lin Ze bowed his hand in return and smiled.
-
After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Ze asked his family to get some firecrackers and red silk, and asked Li He, Liu Pei, and Gao Fei to cut them together with himself, the coal mine owner, as a ceremony for the official opening of the coal mine.

After that, the sale of coal officially began.

In the large conference room, Lin Ze was entertaining many customers.

Snacks and tea were placed in front of every shopkeeper who came to take care of the business today.

"Everyone is welcome to buy coal. At present, our coal mine in Heishi Village is still in the stage of developing the market, so we will sell coal cheaply. The temporary price is five catties of coal for one penny. Generally speaking, one catty of coal is worth three catties of firewood."

"Because Mr. Gao has demonstrated the superiority of coal to you beforehand, I won't waste your time here again."

"Such durable and cheap coal, you should also know how popular it will be once it becomes popular in the world."

"So, if you have ample money, I suggest that all shopkeepers can store more coal. Whether it is for personal use or reselling it for profit in the future, it is a sure profit without loss."

"That's all. Shopkeepers can come to me in line to register the amount of coal you want to buy. If you don't have your turn, don't worry. You can drink tea and eat melon seeds and wait for a while. What you said before is still valid. Today's opening discount is [-]% off."

Lin Ze smiled and told the price of coal to about 50 customers in the conference room.

"Mr. Lin, I want five hundred catties of coal."

Shopkeeper Qian of the mutton restaurant at the front opened his mouth.

He didn't buy a lot of coal, and he had a bigger idea to try it out.

Although the master book Gao Fei had demonstrated the coal before, and it looked good, but you can only know whether it works well or not after using it yourself.

"Okay, sincerity 100 Wen, because today's opening ceremony offers a 95% discount, so I charge you [-] Wen."

Lin Ze smiled and wrote a note to the shopkeeper in front of him.

The voucher itself was printed with engraving, and it showed ___ catties of coal to be extracted, and Lin Ze filled in a number of [-] on it.

Shopkeeper Qian took a bunch of copper coins to pay. After counting, Lin Ze gave him the voucher and said with a smile, "Turn left when you go out to the warehouse area. Just use this voucher to pick up the coal. If you don't have a container for coal, you can also buy sacks from the warehouse."

Lin Ze knows how much coal is in the warehouse. These customers are naturally supervisors and will not let their own interests be damaged, so there is nothing wrong with the warehouse.

If it is a trick, it will be easy to find out during the follow-up reconciliation.

Shopkeeper Qian nodded knowingly, took the voucher and went out to the warehouse.

There are members of the mine protection team under Lin Ze's command and an adult servant staring at them. These members of the mine protection team are all children in their early ten years old, which happens to be when their thinking is not rigid and their learning ability is the strongest.

After undergoing surprise training in the past few days, they have been able to understand numbers and perform simple addition and subtraction.

After receiving the receipt, the members of the mine protection team quickly weighed five hundred catties of coal for Shopkeeper Qian, and the first transaction was successfully completed.

In addition, there are county officials next to the warehouse watching. These people are Gao Fei's subordinates, responsible for recording the sales of the coal mine, and then using it as a basis for tax collection.

Of course, in fact, Lin Ze can directly show the account books to Gao Fei and then calculate taxes, but this process still has to go.

Next, Lin Ze is repeating this process.

The receipts were issued in the conference room, and then many customers took the receipts to the warehouse to pick up coal, and then either brought their own sacks or bought sacks from the warehouse, in short, packed the coal and put it on their own vehicles to take away.

Perhaps everyone has doubts about the use of coal. The first batch of customers who came to buy coal did not buy a lot of coal, and each family weighed five or six hundred catties.

49 customers bought a total of 5.2 catties of coal from Lin Ze, and received [-] taels of silver.

Compared with the 2214 tons of coal piled up in the warehouse, this amount of coal is not enough.

For this result, Lin Ze was calm.

Right now is just the first step in opening up the market. Next, we just need to wait for everyone to accept the use of coal. After the word-of-mouth of high quality and low price explodes, coal sales will explode.

"Guest, how much coal do you want?"

At this time, Lin Ze turned his gaze to the last guest in the meeting room.

The guest was a middle-aged man in a blue brocade suit. The other party had been sitting at the back of the conference room from the very beginning, observing everyone's process of buying coal, without slowing down.

Gao Fei introduced to Lin Ze before that this is Zhang Le, the owner of Zhangjiachaihang.

"I want 50 catties. I want to try to sell coal in my firewood store. I hope Mr. Lin will do it."

Zhang Le said with a smile.

He got a hint from Gao Fei that he could come here to purchase goods in bulk and sell them at the firewood store.

From his point of view, he can already discover the potential of coal selling well. If he doesn't make changes in his industry, he will definitely be eliminated by the market.

However, Zhang Le is still not confident enough, and only plans to test the waters with an advanced shipment of 50 jin.

Anyway, this bit of coal can't be sold, and my family has a large population, so it won't last long for my own use.

"Okay, sincerity is 100 taels, 95% discount for today's opening ceremony, [-] taels will do."

Lin Ze doesn't hesitate, it's a good thing someone is willing to be a distributor.

Just opened the receipt.

More than 200 tons of coal cost Lin Ze a total cost of more than 200 taels of silver, but half of the blood was recovered in one fell swoop.

In the warehouse, there are still more than 900 tons of coal left.

It's not just huge profits, it's simply huge profits.

Zhang Le also paid the money readily, and went out directly after exchanging pleasantries, and took the truck and firewood staff that had been prepared a long time ago to the warehouse to pick up coal.

This business of 50 jin of coal will take a long time.

"Sorry, Lin Daxia, it's late to prepare manpower and tools."

"Congratulations on your successful opening here."

Just as Lin Ze was about to leave the conference room, someone came in again.

This time, it was an acquaintance, Shan Xuliang, the head of Fengping County of the Cao Gang.

He holds a present in his hand and apologizes as soon as he comes in.

"Hall Master Shan is already doing a great job of saving face if he can come, so there's no need to apologize."

Lin Ze smiled and cupped his hands.

"I'll also buy [-] catties of coal. There are many brothers under my command, and I need a lot of firewood for cooking and cooking every day. By the way, I will also take care of Lin Daxia's business."

Shan Xuliang said with a smile.

"That's a good feeling."

Lin Ze gave Shan Xuliang a receipt and personally sent him to the warehouse to pick up coal.
-
After being busy for a while, all the guests who came to buy coal were sent away.

"how?"

When Lin Ze walked into the factory director's office, he saw three officials sitting together drinking tea and chatting.

Seeing Lin Ze coming in, Li He asked with a smile.

"I sold coal for less than 120 taels of silver. Although today's sales are not too much, but with today's foreshadowing, the next period of time will be a period of high-speed explosion."

"The current group of customers who have bought coal will repurchase after experiencing the actual effect of coal."

"The process of their use of coal is originally a process of demonstrating and promoting coal, and then new customers will come to buy coal."

"Besides, there will also be second-hand traffickers who see the benefits. It is estimated that in the future, there will be many people selling coal in the streets and alleys in various towns and towns in Fengping County."

"At that time, we may be able to sell as much coal as we produce, so just store as much coal as possible in the warehouse before then."

Lin Ze sat down, poured himself a glass of boiled water, and answered.

"Then bring the prisoners from the county government prison to you, and start working directly in the next two days."

Li He proposed at this time.

"No, I find it difficult to manage these criminals, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"Besides, this mining is considered a good job. Many people rushed to come, and there is no shortage of people."

"Uncle, you can consider getting these people into the workshops run by your government. Anyway, these places are strictly controlled."

Lin Ze shook his head and refused.

It is very easy for him to manage the coal mine now, because both the kitchen staff and the miners themselves are highly motivated.

Everyone hopes that the coal mine will be better and that the coal mine will continue to exist for a long time. The interests of the employees and Lin Ze, the boss, are the same.

Most of the time, they can manage themselves.

But these criminals are different, we must prevent them from running away.

And give them a meal with meat, isn't that a reward for them?

Therefore, Lin Ze felt that it would be good for these people to sit in jail honestly and taste loneliness, hunger and flogging, and they did not deserve to be squeezed out of surplus value.

"Also."

Li He nodded, approving Lin Ze's idea.

"Actually, Uncle, Master Liu, and Master Gao, you can use the quota of miners as a kind of welfare, give it to your subordinates, and win their hearts."

At this time, Lin Ze suggested with a smile.

In this era, people are not afraid of hard work, what they are afraid of is that they will not be rewarded after hard work, and they may even go hungry.

Therefore, although the work of miners is hard, there will never be a situation where people cannot be recruited.

Lin Ze arranges easy jobs for his servants and family members as a means of buying people's hearts.

The work of the miners is very heavy, and the effect of using it to buy people's hearts is relatively low, but it is not completely useless.

So at this time, Lin Ze gave the quota of these miners as a benefit to the three official shareholders.

"This is indeed a good proposal. I will go back and count the situation of the servants under my command to see if any of their family members are willing to come to mine."

Li He nodded.

Gao Fei didn't speak, and many of his men overlapped with Li He.

And many of his family's servants are planting his family's fields, and they don't need to come out as miners.

"I don't need it here."

"The soldiers under my command are all transferred from other places. They are all alone, and no one needs to take care of them."

"After collecting the mining tax and giving them more money, it won't be a waste of time for everyone to patrol the mining area."

Liu Pei shook his head.

This kind of off-site stationing was a normal state of the Zhou Dynasty. The purpose was to prevent soldiers who were an important stabilizing force in the region from covering up local relatives and criminals, relying on the locals to contradict the officials.
