There are many coal mines in Taiyuan, Shanxi, such as Dongshan Coal Mine, Duerping Coal Mine, Guandi Mine, Ximing Mine, Xiyu Coal Mine, Nanyu Coal Mine, etc. The total coal output of Shanxi coal mines accounts for about one-quarter of the country's total output, and the coal mine reserves and output are indispensable.

The Taiyuan Wang family has a unique advantage. Zhang Nan can predict that when the steam era arrives, the Taiyuan Wang family will definitely hoard coal mines and make a lot of money. This is not what Zhang Nan wants to see. There is also a royal family. There is a very delicate balance in the relationship between them. No matter who gets too much or too little profit, it will break this balance. The consequences of breaking the balance are not simply problems that can be solved with money.

So Zhang Nan made a difficult decision, which was to make enough money first. Anyway, the money was made, and it would not break the balance of the aristocratic family and could also gain benefits. This seemed to be the best ending.

As Cui Shao went to Cui's mansion, sat on a chair, drinking the tea from Cui's mansion, Cui Shao finally couldn't help but feel curious and asked: "Son-in-law, what business do you mean by doing with the Wang family? And what's going on?"

Zhang Nan took a sip of tea calmly and said, "I will ask my father-in-law a word. Is my father-in-law a son-in-law who believes it or not."

After hearing this, Cui Shao nodded without objection, and then said, "I naturally trust Qingquan, but the words you said after Qingquan just left are really puzzled."

"My father-in-law doesn't have to be puzzled. Since my father-in-law has trusted her son-in-law, she said it straightforwardly. My father-in-law must do everything possible to obtain the right to mine coal on the territory of the Wang family in Taiyuan." Zhang Nan continued to drink tea and said.

"Coal?" Cui Shao was a little confused.

"That's right, it's coal, that is, charcoal." Zhang Nan explained.

"Carbonite? Why do you want this thing? This thing is not worth it." Cui Shao said strangely. After all, although the use of coal has a long history, coal is now a function of burning fire to keep warm. Since it is all this function, the people naturally prefer the firewood that can be obtained everywhere.

"My father-in-law doesn't know that the coal is more than just burning fire to keep warm. I believe my father-in-law still remembers what I mentioned in the morning court." Zhang Nan said.

"That's right, but what does this have to do with carbon?" Cui Shao continued to ask.

"My father-in-law thinks this does not require the trick or motivation of livestock to pull it?" Zhang Nan said with a smile.

Cui Shao was immediately thought of by Zhang Nan, so he said, "Qingquan, do you want to say that this steam engine uses carbonite as power."

"It is true, and it can be foreseen that once the steam engine appears and is promoted on a large scale and the public is promoted, the price of carbonite will definitely soar. Can my father-in-law know how much coal resources there are in the Wang family in Taiyuan account for the whole country?" Zhang Nan asked.

Cui Shao shook his head.

"Nearly one-quarter of the country, my father-in-law can think about what such a large amount of wealth will make the Wang family grow into. My father-in-law, don't forget that this steam engine is something I made. How can I not know the future development of this carbide?" Zhang Nan said.

"Since Qingquan is so sure, I naturally support it with all my strength. But when talking about this with the Wang family in Taiyuan, you should go by Qingquan yourself. If I go, Wang family in Taiyuan will be suspicious." Cui Shao stroked the beard on his chest and said.

"This is simple. My father-in-law only needs to give the son-in-law a chance to meet." Zhang Nan smiled. Although Zhang Nan wanted to meet Wang Mozhi now, if Zhang Nan just went to find Wang Mozhi rashly, it would definitely arouse Wang Mozhi's suspicion. After all, being the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan must not be an ordinary person.

"It's just Qingquan, you just went directly to find Wang Mozhi to ask for charcoal from Taiyuan. Compared to Wang Mozhi, you won't give it to you. Although this charcoal is not worth much, it will definitely be hopeless if you just ask for it like this. See what method you use to exchange for this thing." Cui Shao reminded.

"The son-in-law has already thought about this matter. My father-in-law just sends an invitation to the people of the aristocratic family. He said that the son-in-law has prepared the paper they want and delivered the first piece of paper. The remaining son-in-law will arrange it. I can guarantee that he will definitely get all the charcoal from Taiyuan." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

Seeing that Zhang Nan was so confident, Cui Shao didn't say much, and immediately started to send invitations to people from the aristocratic family.

At dinner time, the head of the aristocratic family and the person who talked about appeared in Cui's mansion as promised. After everyone took their seats, Cui Shao picked up the wine glass and said to everyone: "Everyone, I have no other meaning to call the head of the family and the person who talked about me to my mansion today. It's just that the first batch of paper that had been negotiated at that time can be delivered. If it were not for your support, this newspaper would not be able to be promoted so smoothly among the people."

After hearing this, Zhang Nan quickly took over the conversation and said, "It's right. It depends on the support of the heads of the family and the person who talked about it, so the newspaper affairs can be carried out so smoothly. Moreover, this paper matter has indeed been delayed for a long time, so I will make my own decision and give you more than twenty stones. Just think of giving you all the heads of the family and the person who talked about it. Thank you for your understanding." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he picked up his glass, picked up the glass and drank it all.

When everyone heard that Zhang Nan gave them twenty stones of white paper, they looked overjoyed. After all, the price they negotiated was only one hundred stones at that time, and Zhang Nan gave them twenty stones so much. How could they not be overjoyed?

Wang Mozhi was obviously the leader of the aristocratic family. When he heard Zhang Nan say this, he smiled and said, "Qingquan's words are a bit serious. This has given us a vain advantage. What can we do if we are elders."

When everyone heard Wang Mozhi say this, he nodded and said yes.

After hearing this, Zhang Nan sneered in his heart: "Old fox, I'm a little embarrassed now. It doesn't matter. When you will bleed later." Although he thought so in his heart, Zhang Nan didn't say that. Now Zhang Nan has practiced to the state of inconsistent heart and mouth. What he thought and what he said in his heart was completely controlled in different parts of the brain.
