Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 24 Hot buying by the whole people
  "Those civilians have been blinded by you. Waiting for tomorrow, they will die because of coal. By then, I will see if you can still be so arrogant!"

"Wait, after tomorrow, it will be a battle between dragons and tigers!"

Zhao Yan is sure that someone will be burned to coke and die tomorrow.

It’s already late November, and soon it will be December.

The weather in the north is getting colder day by day, and the wind is as cold as a knife. The beggars are wearing thin clothes and have nothing to keep them warm. They will soon freeze to death.

The beggars collected so much coal today. They will definitely use coal to keep warm at night.

At that time, as long as Zhao Yan comes forward to testify against the seller of this batch of coal, he can at least have these shops close down.

After thinking about this, Zhao Yan did not linger any longer, but smiled coldly and said:

"Sun Xiang, just wait for me, I want you to look good!"

Early the next morning, Zhao Yan happily ran to the door of Shopkeeper Sun's shop, as if he wanted to see Shopkeeper Sun make a fool of himself.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Yan walked to Shopkeeper Sun's shop, he saw a large number of people surrounding his shop. Zhao Yan couldn't see clearly, but he also knew that these people must have come to settle accounts with Shopkeeper Sun.

Zhao Yan quickly squeezed in, trying to see clearly the embarrassed look of shopkeeper Sun.

In the end, Zhao Yan arrived after a lot of effort. At first glance, he was stunned.

Sure enough, there were many beggars gathered in front of the store, but they did not ask Shopkeeper Sun for money. Instead, they asked Shopkeeper Sun for coal with excitement on their faces.

"Why are you still alive? This coal is not poisonous."

When Zhao Yan said this, the beggars immediately became furious and looked at Zhao Yan angrily.

There were even some hot-tempered beggars who had rolled up their sleeves and wanted to beat Zhao Yan.

However, it was the old beggar who came out to collect coal first yesterday and stopped him.

At this time, not only was he safe and sound, his face was also quite rosy, and he had obviously had a good sleep.

"Everyone, you see, I used coal yesterday, but the coal in this shop is not poisonous."

As the old beggar spoke, his eyes swept around Zhao Yan and spoke slowly:
  "The temperature of this coal is very high and stable, and can be maintained for a long time."

"If you don't believe it, you can take it and try it."

"No, it won't happen. You must have united with the people here to lie to us!"

Zhao Yan shouted in disbelief.

If there really is such charcoal in this world, why should my own charcoal be compared to dregs?

After all, he knew very well that the cost of charcoal and coal were completely different.

Once the coal is set on fire, the charcoal will disappear completely. At that time, not only him, but also the Zhao family will be burned to ashes.

However, Zhao Yan, how many people here don’t know?

As a colleague, what he said was not as convincing as the old beggar's words.

After all, the old beggar did get the coal yesterday and used it himself. Otherwise, how could so many beggars come to get it again?
  Obviously, the old beggar thought coal was useful, so he collected it with his companions.

This time, more and more people poured into the coal shop of Prince Yan's Mansion, and even Zhao Yan was unable to stop them.

When all the 15,000 taels of coal prepared in advance were delivered, coal became completely popular in the Peiping area.

As a result, more people began to use coal for heating.

And these people will immediately notify their family and friends and let them try this new heating method.

As a result, word spread to ten, and within three days, the issue of "non-toxic coal" in Peiping and surrounding areas became the hottest topic at the time.

It wasn't until the fourth day that shopkeeper Sun opened the store door and was stunned when he saw the scene inside.

I saw a crowd of people gathered in front of the store, all glaring at Shopkeeper Sun.

Shopkeeper Sun was frightened by everyone's gaze. He had received an order from King Yan since yesterday and would no longer send coal to the people. Shopkeeper Sun had no choice but to bow to the person at the door with an apologetic look on his face.

"Everyone, I'm really sorry. Today the head of the family has spoken and coal will no longer be given away for free."

"We have our own families to feed, so I'm sorry for keeping you waiting here for so long."

Shopkeeper Sun thought to himself, aren’t these people here just to give away free food?

After all, the business was bleak in the beginning, and they still remember it fresh.

However, their answers made him overjoyed.

"Shopkeeper Sun, I'm not here to give you a gift this time. We're here just to buy coal."

"Yes, that's right, Shopkeeper Sun, hurry up and give us a quotation so that we can hurry up and buy some coal for winter."

"Now that the weather is getting colder, we need to open our doors earlier in the future, otherwise we will freeze to death."

When shopkeeper Sun heard this, he felt happy and said quickly:
  "Haha, sorry, I'm late."

"My master said that our coal only costs ten copper coins per pound."

"If it exceeds twenty kilograms, the owner will give you an iron stove."

"This iron stove can not only keep warm, but can also make tea and cook. It is very convenient."

“With this, you can cook at home instead of looking for firewood.”

These words were like a depth bomb that exploded in the crowd!

"is it?"

"real or fake?"

"Come on twenty pounds, why are you still standing there?"

"Give me a pound to try first!"

"."

For the first time, Shopkeeper Sun felt that his business was booming and his financial resources were growing.

Shopkeeper Sun was so busy from morning to night that he didn't even have time to take a bite of food during lunch.

Shopkeeper Sun was so busy that he never stopped. This was the first time he met so many people.

After listening to shopkeeper Sun's words, the common people almost bought more than 20 kilograms of coal for the iron stove at once. Even the poorer people gritted their teeth and bought twenty kilograms.

The more than 20,000 kilograms of coal previously stored have been sold out.

There was no other way, so shopkeeper Sun had no choice but to send someone to notify Prince Yan's Mansion and ask him to send another 30,000 kilograms of coal.

In less than a day, shopkeeper Sun's shop sold more than 50,000 tons of coal.

Until nightfall, the night is already dark, and most people have not purchased it and can only wait until tomorrow.

At the end of the day, shopkeeper Sun and several of his men lay down on the ground exhausted, not even caring about the cinders and ashes all over the ground.

"Haha, so happy!"

Although shopkeeper Sun was very tired and hungry, it was the first time for him to see so many customers, so he was naturally excited.

Especially today, he found that the business of Zhao's charcoal shop was simply terrible, even far inferior to his.

The pleasure of revenge is so satisfying.

"Boss, today's business must be five hundred taels."
