After the success of the experiment with the coal, Yang Jing's name became famous. He struck while the iron was hot and opened several shops in the entire Hui Zhou government to sell the coal.
Many merchants in the city heard that Yang Jing wanted to sell the coal and all of them had their eyes on this business opportunity. They blocked Yang Jing's door every day and begged Yang Jing to cooperate with them. This included Old Master Zhang, who sold the mine to Yang Jing.
Previously, when Li Yun forcefully bought the coal mine from him, he was still very dissatisfied, so he took the opportunity to scam Yang Jing of 1,000 taels of silver. Everyone in the Hui Zhou government knew about it.
Who would have thought that not long after he was pleased with himself, he would hear the news that Yang Jing had refined the coal from the coal mountain.
The colorless, odorless, and non-toxic characteristics of the coal were very popular among the people.
Moreover, Yang Jing's price was extremely low. At three copper coins per catty, the supply of the coal was in short supply.
Yang Jing had made a fortune, but Old Master Zhang did not know how much he had earned.
However, there was one thing he was sure of. Yang Jing would definitely earn more than two thousand taels of silver. If this continued, he would earn a mountain of gold and silver.
He gritted his teeth in hatred after he had calculated the score. Every day, he would beat his chest and stamp his feet at home, regretting selling the only coal mountain in Hui Prefecture to Yang Jing.
After thinking for a long time, he finally carried two catties of fruits and walked into the Yang residence, begging Yang Jingyun to give him a shop so that he could drink some soup.
Regarding this, Yang Jing's attitude was:
"If you want to sell coal, you can pay the joining fee.”
Yang Jing glanced at the two catties of fruits that Old Master Zhang brought over and said casually.
Old Master Zhang immediately understood when he heard the joining fee.
Yang Jing was asking for money from him. He had to pay to sell his coal.
"May I ask Lord Yang, how much is the joining fee?" he asked cautiously.”
Yang Jing imitated Old Master Zhang's previous behavior and extended three fingers with a smile.
"Thirty thousand taels of gold."
Thirty thousand taels? Gold!
Back then, you only spent two thousand taels of silver to buy my entire coal mountain.
Now, I'm going to spend 30,000 taels of gold to buy your shop?!
The moment Old Master Zhang heard this price, he felt his vision darken. His legs went soft, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
His hands trembled as he grabbed Yang Jing's trouser leg and said,""Lord Yang, don't joke around."
"Do you think my life is worth thirty thousand gold taels?”
"If you think it's worth it, why don't you take my old life?”
Yang Jing glanced at him." Is that true?”
He had disliked this old man for a long time. He had already sold the mine for a thousand taels higher than the market price, but in the end, he still did some messy little tricks behind his back.
If this kind of person was not punished slightly, he would probably not know what he had done wrong.
Now was the perfect opportunity.
Old Master Zhang did not understand what Yang Jing meant by this question. His expression was a little blank.
At this time, Yang Jing continued,"Since Old Master Zhang has requested for me to confiscate your house, then I won't be polite with you anymore."”
After saying that, Yang Jing shouted towards the door," Someone come!"”
Li Yun hurriedly walked in and cupped his fists.""I'm here."
"Bring some men and hurry to Old Master Zhang's mansion to confiscate his property.”
"Yes, sir!"
When Old Master Zhang saw that Yang Jing had really brought Li Yun here, he immediately understood that Yang Jing was not joking with him. He really had the intention to confiscate his property.
He quickly stood up and stopped Li Yun. He looked at Yang Jing and laughed dryly."How can I trouble Lord Li with such a small matter like the looting?”
"Isn't it just thirty thousand gold taels?"
"I do, I do."
"After this lowly one returns today, I will send someone to deliver the gold to Milord's residence.”
He knew very well that thirty thousand gold taels was a small sum in front of the management rights of the coal mine.
As long as he could sell the coal in Jixi County, the price would rise. A mere 30,000 taels of gold would be enough to recoup his losses in two winters.
Although the price was a little expensive, it was worth it.
Old Master Zhang felt that it was worth it no matter how he calculated, so he directly agreed.
Yang Jing felt that it was all thanks to Old Master Zhang's mine that his greenhouse plan could proceed smoothly. Moreover, it was also thanks to this mine that he earned a lot of extra money.
Although this person was a little hateful, there was nothing wrong with him.
Therefore, Yang Jing let him go and did not argue with him anymore.
"Since that's the case, follow Li Yun down and sign the contract.”
He agreed so easily?
Old Master Zhang looked at the smiling expression on Yang Jing's face and felt a little scared.
Logically speaking, Yang Jing was not someone who could be easily fooled. He had already experienced this just now.
After thinking about it, he felt that there was something wrong.
Therefore, Old Master Zhang, who had figured it out, carefully asked,"Lord Yang, what do you mean by joining?”
Yang Jing looked at him and smiled." To put it simply, you'll rent my shop. As for how to run it, it'll be based on the shop under my name.”
"Especially the price."
Yang Jing had long known what this old man was up to. It was nothing more than taking the source of the coal and then raising the price, taking the opportunity to make huge profits.
But Yang Jing would not give him the chance.
Everyone who got the right to operate the coal business from him had to pay a joining fee and open a shop in the form of joining. No one was allowed to raise the coal price without permission to disrupt the market order. If there was a violation, he would punish them according to the contract.
Old Master Zhang was stunned. If he couldn't raise the price, it would take at least five to six years to earn back the capital.
He thought about it carefully and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
His family business had nothing to do with salt and iron, which were lucrative businesses. Instead, he owned some insignificant cloth shops.
The competition in the fabric market was too great. He did not know how many years he could earn by guarding this shop. If the country was slightly unstable, he would cut off his income.
However, it would be different if he could do business in the coal business.
Bituminous coal was cheap and resistant to fire. He believed that it would soon outlaw the current charcoal and become a new way of making fire.
In the future, coal would definitely become a necessity. If he could control the management rights of coal, he would definitely have a large and stable income in the future.
Although it was a loss now, it was not unacceptable for the sake of greater benefits in the future.
Thinking of this, Old Master Zhang nodded heavily.
"Contract, sign!"
After sending off Old Master Zhang, Yang Jing received a piece of good news.
The first batch of heating units that he had ordered people to work overtime to produce had come out!
With the heater, the greenhouse was truly built!
When the time came, he could mass-produce cotton to make cotton-padded clothes. He could then send some of his troops to the north to slaughter wild boar skins!
(Please, please, please ask for a peace treaty)>??)）
