Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 25 We are going to get rich!

A waiter also came up to him with excitement and asked Shopkeeper Sun.

"Well, good luck."

Others don't know it clearly, but shopkeeper Sun knows it very well.

Coal is cost-free, the only problem is labor cost.

But in this era, labor costs are the lowest. Five hundred taels of silver, 80% of which is profit.

Moreover, this is only one coal shop. There are eight coal shops owned by King Yan in Beiping City.

The master’s family is going to be prosperous!

"Dad, that's great, that's great!"

A round and rolling thing rolled from the door of Prince Yan's Mansion into the hall.

Zhu Gaochi looked excited. When he saw Zhu Di's first words, he said we were going to send it.

Seeing Zhu Gaochi like this, Zhu Di felt happy and asked quickly:

"How? How much money did you make?"

"Four thousand taels, this is four thousand taels!"

Zhu Gaochi raised four thick fingers and shouted loudly: "In one day, I earned back four thousand taels of silver."

"After deducting costs, we can earn more than 3,200 taels of silver this day."

"What?"

Xu Miaoyun suddenly took a breath of cold air.

She never thought that just a pile of coal could bring her such a huge profit.

One pound of coal only costs ten copper plates, and if these ten copper plates are added up, more than 400,000 catties can be sold in one day.

"Buddha of Infinite Life."

The old monk was also a little excited and recited a Buddhist name in a low voice.

Four thousand taels of silver a day, doesn’t that mean one hundred thousand taels of silver a month?
  With this huge sum of money, wouldn’t it be easy to recruit people and build weapons in the future?
  "happy!"

Zhu Di also looked excited, and then said to Bai Chu: "I know about this matter.

"Mr. Bai, this little money is enough for you to build a temple."

"Tomorrow, I will let people build a magnificent temple for you in the busiest place in the city so that you can be worshiped."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Bai Chu. You must know that building a temple is not a simple matter.

If we really want to build a temple for Bai Chu, even one hundred thousand taels of silver would not be enough.

When Bai Chu saw this, he waved his hand and said:
  "Don't be so extravagant. When you sell coal tomorrow, I will give you a wooden sculpture of a divine dragon."

"Those who believe in me will naturally be protected by me. Those who don't believe in me don't need to care."

Bai Chuyun was calm and gentle, and Zhu Di couldn't say anything, but he was still thinking about Zhu Yuanzhang's safety.

From the little eunuch, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had reached the point where his fuel was exhausted, and it was very likely that, as Bai Chu said, he would not survive more than two years.

Zhu Di also wanted to help Zhu Yuanzhang extend his life. Anyway, if he followed Zhu Yuanzhang, he would not be afraid of being cut off from his vassal.

Mr. Bai's method is good. With so many people buying coal now, it will bring a lot of faith to Mr. Bai tomorrow.

Zhu Gaochi told what happened, and then he remembered what the previous shopkeepers had said.

"Father, the owners of all the major stores say that this sales speed is too slow."

"From the morning until the evening, there are still many people who have not purchased coal."

"They are asking if there are any other ways to speed up sales, so that the daily income can be doubled several times." Zhu Di frowned because he didn't have much inventory, and he still had I have to bring some back from the processing factory in Xishan.

"It would be much easier if the common people came directly to Xishan to buy."

"Since it's not easy for them to come to us to buy them, I will deliver them myself."

Bai Chu suggested:
  "We can organize a fleet of vehicles to deliver the goods to them."

"You just need to write down their address, ship it from Xishan, and the express will be delivered to your door."

"In this way, it can not only reduce the burden on the store, but also reduce the pressure on customers to deliver goods, killing two birds with one stone."

Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao's eyes lit up and he said:
  "It's not just killing two birds with one stone, it's killing three eagles with one stone."

"This cavalry team can definitely become a secret guard for His Highness. In the future, it can also be used as escorts to transport coal to Liaodong, Shandong, Shanxi and other places."

"It's perfect for hiding troops."

Bai Chu was slightly startled. The old monk's mind was full of thoughts of rebellion.

But if you think about it carefully, wouldn’t the future express delivery companies be like this?

After hearing what Bai Chu and Yao Guangxiao said, Zhu Di smiled and said:
  "Okay, I'll do as you say."

"Gao Chi, ask your accountant to go to the store. Those who want to deliver goods should write down their addresses."

In Peiping, Jin Yiwei’s secret base
  "Master, the emperor's secret order has arrived."

Beside Jiang Wei, a Jin Yiwei warned cautiously.

Ever since Jiang Yu kicked to death a captain of the Jinyi Guards last time, everyone in the Jinyi Guards was in panic.

Of course, you have to be careful when doing things.

However, he did not give up the investigation of Zhu Di, and even conducted a more detailed investigation.

Finally, Jiang Wei immediately reported everything to Zhu Yuanzhang and accused Zhu Di of plotting evil.

It's just that this secret letter has been sent for half a month without any response, which makes the Jinyi guards very nervous, wondering what kind of medicine the emperor is selling in the gourd.

Now, a new edict has arrived.

Jiang Wei slowly stood up, half-knelt on the ground, took the imperial edict, and then slowly unfolded it.

However, the content of this secret order is very simple.

If you continue to stare at King Yan, if you send random messages without solid evidence, don't blame me for being rude!
  Jiang Wei's heart trembled. From this decree, he had already felt Zhu Yuanzhang's anger. When he thought of this man's calm and confident appearance, Jiang Wei couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

But Jiang Wei was just stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, put away the edict, looked at the Jin Yiwei around him, and spoke slowly:
  "Is there any movement at Prince Yan's Mansion?"

A member of the Jin Yiwei came out and said:

"Reporting to the prince, the coal business in Prince Yan's palace is booming. Today, I am afraid that more than 4,000 taels of silver will be sold."

"4000 taels? That much?"

Jiang Wei was slightly surprised. 4000 taels of silver was already a lot.

You know, one tael of silver can buy two kilograms of grain, and one hundred thousand taels of silver is enough to feed 100,000 people for two months.

Upon hearing what Jiang Wei said, someone from the Jinyi Guards immediately stood up and shouted loudly:
  "My lord, you'd better report it to the emperor quickly. This is a huge fortune."

"How can this be placed in the hands of a vassal king?"

Jiang Wei's eyes flashed coldly, but he did not agree, but said:
  "Don't worry, I will investigate more deeply."

"King Yan has gained so much wealth. He will definitely not be able to sit still. He will definitely take action."

"Do your best to sneak into Prince Yan's palace and monitor his every move. As long as there is conclusive evidence, the emperor will look at us with admiration again."
