The capital city is full of cold wind.

The carriage was stopped in the Zhou Mansion, and Zhou Yu really dared to sell it. Yan Chengjin was furious when he knew that His Majesty was going to Long Yan, and the charcoal actually increased to 100 people per pound.

His Majesty declared him for the price of charcoal.

Before entering the palace, he gave Zhou Yu a chance, but with Zhou Yu's character of not seeing the silver, he would not lower the price unless he was given silver.

"Boy Changning, I heard from Wu Jian that you have bought all the forests in Wanping. Can you reduce the price of charcoal to twenty cents?"

All the mountains and forests in the capital were rented or bought by Zhou Yu.

In Beijing, except for him and the Zhang brothers, no one can give out so much money in one go and monopolize the charcoal in Beijing.

I have to say that Zhou Yu is really doing business than the Zhang brothers. If there were no anthracite, he would have made a fortune.

Zhou Yu choked for a moment, and Wu Jian's dog official dared to leave and reveal the news. He laughed shamelessly: "What do I do when I buy mountains and forests? What does it have to do with the price of charcoal? Oh, I can't burn charcoal anymore. The profiteer has actually increased to 100 yuan! He is such a bad intention, do you think you are?"

Buying mountains and forests is to make money. He is a businessman, not an official, so what does the people have to do with him?

Yan Chengjin pretended to be puzzled and said, "Isn't it really Changning Bo?"

"I'm really not my husband. I'm willing to burn charcoal in two days." Zhou Yu smiled without blushing.

"Then I will feel relieved."

Zhou Yu was worried. This kid had always been scary, but the two fools of the Zhang family were frightened by him.

"My nephew, but something is going to happen?"

"No, charcoal will soon be worth the money. If it were Changning Bo, you might as well sell these forests and charcoal to the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce." Yan Chengjin said.

In addition to the three coal mines in Wanping, most of the places with timber in the capital of Jingzhou were bought by Zhou Yu.

There is very likely coal hidden below the places like Wanping, Mentougou, and Xiangshan.

After all, in later generations, these places were the origin of coal and we had to buy them first.

Zhou Yu looked happy. It turned out that he wanted to deceive the mountains and forests in his hands. If they were stable, he would never sell them.

"My nephew, it's not that I don't give you face, it's really not that I bought it."

...

East Warm Pavilion,

Emperor Hongzhi was a little anxious, looked at the little eunuch outside and whispered loudly: "Have Yan Chengjin not arrived yet?"

Mou Bin walked in and said, "I arrived at the capital, and he took a detour to Changning Bo Mansion."

Others avoided this. Li Dongyang looked at his feet in contemplatively. What did this guy do to Changning Bo?

Soon, Yan Chengjin stepped into the hall, bowed behind Emperor Hongzhi, and retreated to the side.

Xiao Jing showed him the Shu Zuo.

King Rong's memorial requested the court for 200,000 taels of relief silver.

If he had built a city in the Heilongjiang area in later generations, without heating, it would have been so cold that the court would not allocate silver to support a group of people.

Yan Chengjin looked up and asked, "I heard that Lord Qin has asked to retire?"

If he had a good memory, Qin Sheng would not have been able to survive this winter and it was time to recommend the Minister of War again.

I don’t know if there is any chance to transfer my father back to the capital. The three-sided general system is not as good as the Minister of War.

Emperor Hongzhi was upset. It was the time when he was employed that Qin Hong retired at a critical moment.

"I have not allowed it yet, so I will discuss the matters in Liaodong first. You and others think, will you withdraw your relief money instead of going back to Liaoyang?"

Han Wen bowed and said, "I ask for advice and withdraw it to Liaoyang City. It's only one month, how much money will be needed until March?"

The treasury has no money, and the more income it has, the greater the expenses it has become, because Yan Chengjin always restructured, built canals, the Great Wall, and had to maintain overseas fleets.

Even if the sow has eighteen milk, it cannot be fed.

"I cannot retreat. If I withdraw, wouldn't I give the city to the Tatars?" Yan Chengjin responded.

Li Dongyang and others understood this truth, but they had no plans to ask for a saline-alkali land in Liaodong.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly and looked at Yan Chengjin: "I and the public have made up my mind. I'm here to ask your Economic Department to reduce the price of charcoal."

Not to mention Liaodong, the people in the capital could hardly burn charcoal.

If Yan Chengjin had no choice, he ordered the price to be reduced and the factory guards arrested the profiteer who was raising the price.

Yan Chengjin bowed: "I may have a way to make the charcoal worthless. Your Majesty, can I sell all the barren mountains in the capital to me, and also the barren land in Shanxi, how much is there, how much is it?"

Some of them are still in the land of the uninhabited, that is, the land of the court.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin suspiciously, "You want to rebel?" I talked to you about charcoal, what do you want to do in the barren mountains?"

"Talk about the serious matter first!"

"In order to reduce the price of charcoal, the price of charcoal may drop in three days."

Korean looks at Yan Chengjin.

I heard that Yan Chengjin bought a coal mine, wouldn’t he want to burn coal? That thing can make people smoky, choking and pungent, and few people are willing to burn it.

Li Dongyang and others also mostly thought this way.

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment. It was useless to leave these barren mountains in his hands, so it would be fine to give Yan Chengjin. The key is what this guy wants to use for.

If it is worth the money, then you cannot give it.

"You talk first, what do you want to do in the barren mountains?"

"Dig coal and sell it to the people." Yan Chengjin was indeed.

There was an uproar in the hall.

Coal is poisonous when burned and is usually used to burn iron, so the two official kilns in Wanping are enough.

If coal was valuable, the court had long dug all the coals in the capital.

As expected, this guy really wants to dig coal to sell it.

A series of sharp eyes fell on Yan Chengjin. Yan Chengjin did not intend to say it out loud. If His Majesty refused to give it to the ground, wouldn't it be useless?

Today, I have to take down whatever I say.

Yan Chengjin continued: "If Your Majesty wants, the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay taxes according to Liangxiang, and buy all the coal in the capital and send it to Liaodong."

hiss!

I don’t know how many millions of kilograms of coal there are in the capital, and the coal has increased to 100 cents per kilogram.

It costs at least 200,000 taels of silver? Just 20,000 taels of silver can buy a large mansion that can be bought in five or five.

When all the officials heard this, they were surprised and lost.

Emperor Hongzhi felt something was wrong. This son had always been steady. "I rented these barren mountains to the chamber of commerce, and the chamber of commerce bought charcoal and sent it to Liaodong."

Li Dongyang nodded, Your Majesty was meticulous and could take it back at any time if he could make money.

Yan Chengjin felt that his IQ was insulted, and His Majesty wanted to have sex for free again.

Although it is for the people, I am always unhappy if I am always furious, right?

"I won't rent it."

Thanks to your gift, the anthracite is gone and I am showing off.

Yan Chengjin planned to go to Liangxiang to terminate the anthracite plan after the value was given.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was stiff. He didn't expect that this boy would be so tough and would not rent it.

Li Dongyang and the others were also shocked, and they never expected Yan Chengjin to come like this.

Thinking about the conditions proposed by this child just now, it is quite attractive.
