"Speaking of the expectations of the people, Jiangnan really has great expectations." Gong Yuan said: "Many people have reported to our Jiangnan Daily reporter that they are in great need of cheap briquettes! Especially after hearing about the Imperial Capital It only costs two cents for a briquette around the house. They are very envious!
We have done so much for people all over the world, but even the Gyeonggi region, Hubei, Hunan, and Sichuan can use cheap briquettes, but we still have to endure the high price. How uncomfortable it is! "
The current briquettes are transported from two briquette workshops in Beijing to Jiangnan via water transport.
It is run by the two brothers of Liu Mingqi¡¯s uncle, the Xu family.
Because the volume is too large, transportation costs have skyrocketed, the unit price is too cheap, and the value is low, so generally you can¡¯t make much money.
Even so, briquettes that cost two cents a piece in the capital were sold at a maximum price of five cents a piece in Jiangnan.
That is to say, wealthy people like to use it. After all, it is much more convenient than firewood.
The poor are reluctant to use it. Even if it was cold last winter, many people still try their best to carry it with their righteousness.
If it costs two cents a piece, there should be many people willing to use it in winter.
After all, the environment in the south of the Yangtze River is wet and cold in winter. It is even more wet than in the north, which makes it very uncomfortable.
Having briquettes for baking and removing moisture from the room is definitely a good thing.
Therefore, the common people complained about this matter to the reporter of "Jiangnan Daily".
The name "Journalist" was given by Liu Mingqi, and its meaning is "a person who records what happened", but it has the same meaning in ancient and modern times.
Journalists are a very important part of newspapers.
The various short stories, street life, folk gossip, etc. they collected are to a large extent an important reason why "Jiangnan Daily" is popular in cities and villages in Jiangnan.
Although many scholars feel that these have no cultural content, the facts prove that Mr. Xiangyu said it right. If you don¡¯t like the things that the common people like to hear and see, who do you think you are?
"Jiangnan Daily" is becoming more popular and more influential day by day.
It¡¯s just
¡°Ahem, the best-selling thing mentioned here is that it can issue more than 30,000 copies a day, but the price of each copy is only one copper plate.
That¡¯s right.
"With only one copper plate, I can't even make back the printing costs, let alone the various expenses of a group of people."
Gong Yuan used to think that he could go bankrupt for his ideals and become a free and easy young man.
It turned out that he was overthinking.
Fortunately, there are people like saints who support us, otherwise we wouldn¡¯t be able to run a newspaper, just take a bowl and go begging.
¡°One or two briquette workshops will be set up in Jiangnan this year, and they should be ready for use in winter.¡± Liu Mingqi answered neatly.
"Really?"
Gong Yuan just said it casually, but he didn't expect Liu Mingqi to have a real plan.
"Well, they will be available all over the country one after another." Liu Mingqi said, "The common people are right. These basic living necessities must be guaranteed. Otherwise, if my Liu family is in charge of this world, will anyone be willing to support it?"
Regarding what Liu Mingqi said, neither the somewhat rebellious Gong Yuan nor the seasoned and restrained Dai Feiying had any intention to refute.
History books clearly record how the previous dynasty expropriated and expropriated people. Even in the rich south of the Yangtze River, they were forced to leave corpses everywhere and weeping thousands of miles away.
Since Taizu of Dakang established Dingding, Jiangnan has undergone visible changes, with a large influx of people.
Farmers have restarted farming in the Jiangnan area, various handicraft workshops have also been actively opened, and merchants have also actively started commerce with overseas countries. Over the past few decades, not only has its vitality been restored, but it has also been far better than a hundred years ago.
Jiangnan has exported too many resources over the years. Although they complained, they had no resentment. The most important reason is that the Dakang court took these materials not for their own enjoyment, but to save people.
The human heart is made of flesh.
I can¡¯t bear to take my things to eat, drink and have fun.
¡°But it doesn¡¯t seem that uncomfortable to use my things to save people.
Of course, there must be some degree of restraint here.
¡°If the people¡¯s livelihood in Jiangnan is reduced too much, they will still be very dissatisfied.
This is due to Liu Renhuai¡¯s efforts in the past seven or eight years. The people in Jiangnan can tolerate it even for Liu Renhuai¡¯s sake.
I knew it before?, a lot of things were just scattered aside, looking very messy.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" At Liu Mingqi's signal, Gong Yuan stepped forward and spoke in Jiangnan dialect, "Aren't these people bullying outsiders? Aren't you afraid of the Governor's Mansion?"
Liu Renhuai has absolutely zero tolerance for bullying these outside businessmen.
Of course, he is not trying to be biased. If a foreign businessman commits adultery in Dakang and then acts as a profiteer, Liu Renhuai will give him a more serious punishment.
Clear rewards and punishments, fairness and integrity are the secrets of Liu Renhuai's success.
After listening to his words, several people's expressions changed.
Judging from their clothes, they were not rich people, so when they saw Gong Yuan dressed in rich clothes and expensive accessories, they immediately became shorter.
A man quickly said: "Youdon't talk nonsensehe, he sold poison to us! We want to arrest him and go to the official!"
"He blinded me, and he said it was some kind of pendant to ward off evil spirits If not, why is this harming people?" The man covering his eyes screamed in pain: "Ouch I was harmed by him. !¡±
"Noit's not"
Seeing a noble person coming, the dark and thin man from outside the country finally managed to hold back a sentence: "This, you can't crush this and then wipe your eyes"
He was so anxious that he wanted to say more, but couldn't find the right words.
Gong Yuan frowned slightly, "Why don't you go to the government and find the judge to see who is right and who is wrong!"
"right!"
Several men felt that they had been deceived and nodded repeatedly.
A man picked up a bunch of red objects that had been trampled to pieces on the ground, "Let's go, take the evidence to the officials and let them administer justiceah!!"
Liu Mingqi rushed over and snatched the bunch of things, making the man jump in fright.
Dazhu also rushed to Liu Mingqi and glared fiercely at the man who subconsciously wanted to snatch Hong Chuan'er back.
Dazhu was a ferocious god who had killed dozens of people. His eyes were so murderous that several men trembled in fright and quickly backed away.
Liu Mingqi¡¯s thoughts were not on them at all.
He put the red string covered with soil in front of his nose and smelled it, then wiped the soil, pulled off a piece and put it in his mouth.
"Your Highness!?"
Zhang Qin was startled, "How can you eat randomly?"
"It doesn't matter!"
Liu Mingqi grinned as he spoke, and then took a big breath, as if he felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing him like this, a group of Qianniu Guards became nervous and rushed over from all directions, surrounding everyone around them.
Only then did everyone realize what was wrong.
Just by looking at the postures of dozens of strong men, you can tell that this is not a pomp that ordinary rich kids can have!
The dark and thin man from the island outside the territory looked at Liu Mingqi with fear, fearing that his head would fall to the ground the next moment!
But with his trembling feet, he did not face such consequences.
On the contrary, Liu Mingqi grinned for a while, took a few long breaths, then spit out the contents of his mouth, and took a bottle of water from Xiao Suqin's hand to rinse his mouth.
"Gululu"
After rinsing his mouth, Liu Mingqi took two steps forward, patted him on the shoulder, smiled and gave him a thumbs up sign.
Then Liu Mingqi took Xiao Suqin's hand, turned around and walked out.
"Take him with you and pack your things!"
The young man left such a sentence.
Everyone looked at each other and didn't understand what Liu Mingqi meant.
But the prince¡¯s words were orders, and a group of Qianniu Guards did not dare to neglect them. After packing the things for the thin black man, they pulled him and chased Liu Mingqi.
The men who were looking for trouble just now have already quietly slipped out.
They are very glad that they have become little transparent, otherwise what would they do if they were also captured?
The dark and skinny man from outside the country thought they were going to catch him and kill him, so he was so frightened that he started crying and making a fuss, hoping to get the attention of the government.
Before he came, his seniors had warned him that crying and making a fuss would attract the officials of Dakang.
The government in Dakang Jiangnan is the most effective, and it will never favor bad people.
This trick really works.
Several Songjiang government officials who were on patrol ran over.
But before they could get closer, a plainclothes Qianniu Guard came forward and showed them his badges. The officials then stepped back with a change of expression.
The thin, dark man originally turned his head to look this way, but when he saw them walking to the other side, he cried even louder!
"be honest!"
The Qianniu Guard who was escorting him gave him a slap in the face, which made him dizzy before he became honest.
But facing this unknown life path, the thin, dark man felt desolate in his heart.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have sold these gadgets!
This is great, it has caused a big disaster! ! ! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Qian Niuwei, who was wearing plain clothes, came forward and showed them his badges. The officials then stepped back with a change of expression.
