    "goodbye?"

    Eryu stared at the monkey dumbfounded, coming in and out again, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

    "What do you mean?" Yu Shensi asked with a frown.

    "Goodbye, never see you again." Jin Xuezeng said while shaking his head and walking towards the street.

    "Aren't you going to become a disciple?" Yu Shenxing chased after him and asked.

    "Who said I'm going to become a disciple?" Jin Xuezeng smiled triumphantly and said, "I just think you guys are too loud, so I came here to have fun."

    ¡°As he spoke, he untied a gray donkey from the hitching post, jumped on it backwards, and then slapped the donkey¡¯s butt.

    The little donkey then went away.

    "Uh" Both of them were honest men. They couldn't keep up with the golden monkey's routine for a while, but they realized it now.

    It turns out that he and science were fooled by him.

    The two couldn't help but become furious, and chased after him with their long legs.

    "You stop for me!"

    "You dare to play tricks and run away? You must apologize to my master!"

    Seeing the two long-legged men catch up half the distance in the blink of an eye, Jin Xuezeng was also startled, and hurriedly slapped the donkey¡¯s butt hard and shouted:

    "No, someone's robbing me!"

    The donkey was in pain and moved forward with all its strength. Jin Xuezeng was light and ran very fast.

    But Yu's brother raised donkeys at home, and it was easy to deal with such animals. He saw Yu Shensi pouting his mouth and calling out "uhuhuh" several times.

    The donkey actually gradually slowed down, and Yu Shenxing grabbed the saddle.  Then he went to catch the golden monkey.

    Unexpectedly, the guy was so agile that he actually leaned forward to avoid Yu Shenxing's grasp, then slid off the donkey's back and escaped into a small alley nearby.

    The Yu brothers chased him for a while, but there were so many small alleys in Beijing, extending in all directions, that they lost the chase after a while.

    The two of them had no choice but to return to Chunsong Hutong with their heads down. Fortunately, the donkey was still waiting there obediently.

    ??~~

    In the main courtyard, Zhao Hao had finished his muscle-pulling practice and was relaxing there when he saw the Yu family brothers, leading a donkey, coming in with a gray face.

    "Hey, where did the donkey come from?" he asked curiously.

    "Hey, Master, we have always embarrassed you" Yu Shenxing reported what had just happened with a face filled with shame.

    When Zhao Hao heard this, he was furious at first. A mere Zhejiang scholar dared to come to my house to play monkey. But when he heard that the man was called Jin Xuezeng, he showed a generous smile and said:

    "That's all, we didn't suffer any loss anyway."

    Then he glanced at the little donkey and sneered: "Bring me a pen."

    Zhang Jian hurriedly ran into the house and brought Zhao Hao pen and ink.

    Zhao Hao picked up the brush, dipped it in thick ink, and then wrote three big characters "Jin Xuezeng" on one side of the donkey, and "Zhi donkey" on the other side.

    "Take it out and tie it outside the door. Remember, the side with the most words is facing out."

    After saying that, he turned around and went into the house.

    Eryu looked at the poor little donkey and couldn't figure out whether the master was angry or not.

    "Fourth Senior Brother, is this the matter?" Yu Shensi asked his younger brother in a low voice.

    "Probably not." Yu Shenxing whispered: "This time the surname Jin is much more excessive than ours"

    The implication is, how did master manipulate us?  How could it be possible to let go of someone named Jin?

    "I guess sooner or later he will look good."

    ??~~

    Sure enough, after eating donkey meat and burning it in the evening, Zhao Hao threw a letter to Yu Shensi and said: "I will send it to the Hangzhou Guild Hall later Well, I will send it after the festival. Let his donkey stay outside for a few days first."

    "Yes, Master." Yu Shensi quickly took it with both hands and saw Jin Xuezeng's name written on it.  I couldn't help but secretly thought, with Master's vengeful temperament, this guy surnamed Jin might be in trouble.

    You deserve it!

    After Yu Shensi retreated, he turned to Sun Dawu, who was standing by the Kang, and said, "Continue talking."

    "It's the young master." Sun Dawu hurriedly cleared his throat and said: "In the past few days, the number of workers in the field has increased to nearly 10,000, and they can make 14.5 million cakes of coal lotus root in a day. But the ice platoon has to be made the day after tomorrow.  Construction has started, so the sales volume will remain the same for the time being.¡±

    "Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded and said with a smile: "It's not easy for Guo Dan to let them start work five or six days in advance."

    "The other thing is," Fatty Sun said with a wry smile: "I heard from the workers that when they go home at night,, some coal merchants came to recruit workers and wanted them to come and work.  "

    "Oh, you can't sit still so soon?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but smiled in surprise: "It's only been on sale for less than seven days."

    "Seven days is not a short time." Fatty Sun said: "I heard from Guo Da that many coal merchants bought coal lotus roots and went back to imitate them. It is estimated that they will be able to make molds in a few days."

    "Of course, it's such a simple thing." Zhao Hao said indifferently: "Let them fight, the more they fight, the better."

    Zhao Hao's price for coal lotus roots is low. If those coal dealers want to make a profit, they have to hire refugees If they hire citizens from the city, this is a dirty and tiring job that will cost them two taels of silver a month.  Not enough people.

    ¡° In this way, there will naturally be more and more job opportunities for refugees, and they are not limited to Zhao Hao¡¯s family.

    "But we don't have to worry about it for the time being." But I heard Sun Dawu smile slyly and say: "They won't be able to figure out the master's secret recipe for a while, and the coal lotus root from the dump is still choking. They want to steal business from us, but there is no way."

    "Don't always look down on people's kindness." Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head: "Even if coal lotus root is not added with slaked lime, it is much easier to sell than bulk coal Let's work together to expand the market and increase the consumption of coal.  , from the current three to four million catties per day to ten million catties, everyone will become rich."

    "Hey, the young master is still a big figure. The villain has remembered it." Sun Dawu nodded quickly and reported again: "Also, a batch of water pumping equipment has been purchased. I wonder when the young master will use it?"

    "It's not slow." Zhao Hao smiled with satisfaction: "You can leave the work at hand to the people below for the time being, and then go to Xishan to purchase a batch of water-permeable waste coal kilns."

    "Oh, Master, you want to pump water to mine coal and recycle the waste?" Sun Dawu will get through at one o'clock.

    "Yes, I went to see it last time. Those coal bosses were so wasteful. They threw away the coal kilns as soon as they became waterlogged. It's a pity." Zhao Hao nodded.

    "They think they have to hire people to pump water." Sun Dawu, who is also familiar with the situation in the mine, said: "And the deeper you dig, the more severe the water seepage will be"

    "It's mainly unprofitable." Zhao Hao said with a smile: "But for us, we can buy it for just a few dollars and save a lot of upfront investment. We can dig out the water, so it's still worthwhile."

    "Yes, we produce it for our own use. As long as we control the cost and dig a few feet deeper, it should be worthwhile." Sun Dawu nodded and suddenly smiled: "And the price of coal is expected to rise soon."

    "Smart." Zhao Hao laughed, patted his round belly and said, "That's why I ask you to hurry up."

    "I understand, young master, I will do it tomorrow." Sun Dawu nodded hurriedly.

    "In addition, I have calculated that the maximum number of people in the field is eight thousand." Zhao Hao then ordered: "All the extra people will be sent to mine."

    He used those imperial stores and imperial villages to buy a large number of coal kilns from the eldest princess, but they were all good kilns being mined, not abandoned kilns with water leakage.

    "What the young master said is that the venue is already overcrowded." Fatty Sun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He had actually wanted to mention this for a long time, but thinking that the purpose of Zhao Hao's opening was to provide disaster relief, he naturally couldn't hold back.  Now when he heard the young master talking about it, he finally said with deep understanding: "Looking at it as a small person, it is actually not as efficient as when there are a small number of people."
