    Plunge?

    How could it plummet?

    Cui Lun¡¯s eyes widened, and Lu Jingcheng next to him also looked puzzled: ¡°Why did it plummet? There is not enough charcoal storage this winter, and it is so cold just at the beginning of winter. There is no reason for the plummet? Why are those traders selling charcoal?¡±

    The boy said in a trembling voice: "It is said that a new type of charcoal has been launched in the West Market, called briquettes. This kind of briquettes is more effective than charcoal, so everyone goes to the West Market to buy coal.  Now, no one is buying charcoal anymore.¡±

    Cui Lun and Lu Jingcheng were immediately stunned.

    How is this possible?

    "Impossible, I have never heard of briquettes. Is it the latest charcoal made by some vendor?"

    Cui Lun frowned. I had never heard of this so-called briquette.

    ¡°And if this so-called briquette replaces charcoal, what will happen to the charcoal in their hands?

    "Go and check again! Check the briquettes clearly to see if they are useful or not, hurry up!"

    Cui Lun¡¯s face changed a little. If the price of charcoal plummets, then the charcoal will really rot in their hands. They will use two thousand tons of charcoal for several years!

    And the most important thing is that this is another large sum of money invested. If it cannot be recovered, the Zhao family's funds will be in danger in a short period of time!

    Cui Lun¡¯s face was gloomy and he was walking around with his hands behind his back. Lu Jingcheng was not much better. Both of them were waiting for new information.

    It didn¡¯t take long before servants came in carrying the stove and coal they bought.

    "Sir, this is the latest coal and stove."

    Cui Lun and the others felt strange when they looked at the briquettes. Is this solid charcoal?

    "Light it up and take a look. I want to see what's so good about this briquette."

    The boys had already figured out how to make a coal stove, so they immediately carried it to the yard and started lighting the stove.

    A person held a fan and fanned at the opening below. The burning charcoal was thrown down, and then the briquettes pressed on it, and thick smoke came out.

    In less than half an hour, three pieces of coal had been put in, and the coals were burning brightly.

    Cui Lun and the others looked at the burning coal with uncertain expressions. Judging from the performance, honeycomb briquettes were no worse than charcoal!

    And the key is that this coal stove actually has a controllable switch underneath, which can greatly save coal burning.

    "Master, according to the shop owner, this coal was actually invented by the Prince Consort of Zhao Manor. The coal stove and fire tongs were also invented by the Prince Consort. They said that the reserves of honeycomb coal are very large, enough for everyone in Chang'an City to use them in the coming spring.  ."

    Cui Lun's face froze: "Zhao Chen! It's Zhao Chen again! Prince Consort, why do you always have trouble with me! I didn't dig your ancestral graves!!!"

    Cui Lun was so angry that he was yelling and completely losing his temper. Is this Zhao Chen really his nemesis?

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? This time, I have no idea of ????targeting Zhao Chen. I just want to make a fortune by selling charcoal during the winter. Who would have thought that Zhao Chen would actually create such a briquette!

    Once the briquettes came out, even Cui Lun predicted that it would be difficult for the price of charcoal to rise in the future.

    Lu Jingcheng also hurried out in a panic, preparing to get on the carriage and return home. He wanted to go back in a hurry and order the sale of charcoal.

    Cui Lun also came to his senses, and immediately shouted to the boy: "Quick! Sell all the excess charcoal we have! No matter what the price is, throw it away!"

    The boy responded and went down.

    Not only the Cui Mansion, but also other merchants who were preparing to resell charcoal were all shocked when they learned about the appearance of briquettes.

    "What? The briquettes are selling so well?"

    "The effect of honeycomb briquettes is even better than that of charcoal. Oh no! Go and sell all the charcoal! Lower the price!"

    "Sell all the charcoal quickly! Adjust the price to twenty cents!"

    "The price is fifteen cents! Go quickly!"

    The price of the wooden sign inserted on the charcoal also continued to fall. From the previous price of close to a hundred cents, it fell all the way within a few hours, and even directly fell below the previous market price of twenty cents, and continued to  It fell, and finally it fell to about ten cents, and the decline was finally stopped.

    But even so, there is still a large amount of charcoal that cannot be sold, because once it is spread to ten or ten, ChanganAll the people in ?? have discovered that this kind of briquette is more useful than charcoal!

    When combined with a coal stove, the use of briquettes can be greatly extended. Moreover, setting up a square wooden table on the coal stove and putting some cloth on it to block the heat is equivalent to a simple fire pit.

    So, where can I buy charcoal?

    ??Basically all the people no longer buy charcoal, they go directly to buy coal!

    ¡­¡­

    Luoyang.

    The shop is also open. The warehouse is full of briquettes in the back, and there are some people in twos and threes in front.

    Xie Wendong stood with his hands behind his hands, watching people buying coal. In front of him were members of the chamber of commerce who had returned from Jiangnan Road and other areas.

    "How did it go?"

    "Reply to the president, all the briquettes have been delivered and the shops are open."

    ??

    "President, don't worry."

    Looking at the people in front who were overjoyed when they heard the price of briquettes, Xie Wendong also had a smile on his face: Perhaps the most right thing he did in his life was to follow the consort.

    Thinking that the prince-in-law had ordered him to make the mining, production and transportation arrangements for briquettes half a year ago, Xie Wendong felt a deep sense of awe in his heart, and he started making arrangements within half a year. What kind of foresight and planning was this?

    ¡­¡­

    News of the plummeting price of coal in Chang'an City also reached the palace.

    "Your Majesty! The price of charcoal in Chang'an City has dropped to ten cents per pound in just a few hours!"

    Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand, with a hint of joy on his face: "So soon? Is briquettes on sale?"

    "Back to Your Majesty, Xueting started selling it, and after Tang Jun's guidance, the people went to the West Market to buy briquettes. Facing the price of briquettes, charcoal had no resistance at all, so those merchants began to sell charcoal.  Some aristocratic families that had previously purchased and stockpiled large amounts of charcoal also began to sell charcoal.¡±

    "Hahaha!"

    Li Shimin laughed happily: "Mr. Zhao is really powerful. It seems that the people of the Tang Dynasty will not suffer a large number of casualties in winter."

    Originally, the people were short of food in winter, but after the Tang Dynasty government vigorously promoted potatoes and sweet potatoes, most of the people's families who planted potatoes had a surplus of food at home. They could survive the winter by eating potatoes, and there was no shortage of food.

    ¡°Then the people had another problem with heating in winter. Mr. Zhao had predicted it in advance and started planning within half a year. Only then could the problem of heating in winter be easily solved. Otherwise, many people in Datang would probably die this winter.

    And the emergence of the coal mining industry can basically solve Datang¡¯s heating problem and solve a basic problem for the people.  The foundation of Datang was guaranteed.

    Li Shimin felt a little overwhelmed, Mr. Zhao is a true god.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
