Chapter 121 Half Brother
"Who the hell are you? How do you know so many things?"

Guo Liulang put a veneer stained with sulfur close to the flint and sparks that were rubbing, and soon, a flame lit up in the dark night, reflecting Guo Liulang's excited face.

Bai Fu rolled his eyes and snatched the piece of wood.

"You waste what I have worked so hard for in a few days? Now you are so poor that you only have coal left. Why don't you dig coal and dangle in front of me?"

The two are about the same age, and they had a fateful friendship during this period, and now they are still a combination of interests, so they talk casually.

After demonstrating to the regent that day, the regent asked the He family to provide two hundred oil cannons as quickly as possible.

So, it is said that Guo Liulang got all the wealth of the He family from the old lady, bought materials, hired workers, and built the workshop. He was so busy that he didn't see anyone for several days.

No, as soon as I came here today, I just stared at the ancient matches that she had been doing for the past few days with nothing to do.

Guo Liulang was still staring at the piece of wood in his hand, and responded casually.

"Who have you seen digging coal at night? Besides, didn't all the coal you asked for be loaded into the truck and left? What's the rush?"

The first batch of coal that Bai Fu asked for was not too much, and it took two or three days for the Tiger Roaring Escorts to pack up and set off for Raozhou, while she stayed to deal with the aftermath.

Bai Fu raised Erlang's legs and drank tea by himself.

"Then go and see if the new batch of coking coal is dry, and send it to the iron forge kiln as soon as it is dry, and make sure it's all right, so I can set off for Raozhou with peace of mind.

In order to produce coking coal in large quantities, the He family built a new kiln.

But for some reason, the quality of the coking coal produced is not stable. Bai Fu and the craftsmen have been busy looking for and solving the problem for a while, and now they are waiting for the final result.

It's been more than a month since he came out, Bai Fu was homesick, and he didn't know what Luo Jin's exam results were. He guessed that the babies in the field were getting to know each other, so he couldn't be used to pay taxes for nothing.

Guo Liulang glanced at Bai Fu's urgent appearance, and frowned slightly.

"What's the hurry, you are short of food and drink here? My grandmother is so precious to you now, she sends you everything good. You see that you are getting fat. Can't you go back after a little longer? Maybe Sometimes I can go with you and take care of you."

After speaking, his eyes swept over Bai Fu, which means you are really fat.

Bai Fu: "!!!"

Subconsciously holding his chest slightly.

This dried-stir-fried body seems to have begun to develop. I took a look in the shower last night, and the steamed buns turned into small steamed buns. It seems that the wrapping cloth needs to be replaced with a longer one.

Guo Liulang gave her a weird look, "Stomach pain?"

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, it's getting late, go and play by yourself." Bai Fu hurried away.

"Who's playing!" Guo Liulang was not happy, "I have something serious to ask you."

"What's the real business?"

Guo Liulang moved the chair to the side of Bai Fu.

"The Prince Regent has sent someone to send a book order for the exclusive distribution of official coal. Please tell me how to use it."

Bai Fu was overjoyed, "So fast?"

I didn't expect the regent to be so courageous, he would give what he said, and he would do things without sloppiness.

You can give a thumbs up.

Guo Liulang nodded, but his face showed embarrassment.

"Most of the larger wrought iron kilns and porcelain kilns in the states now buy coal from the Wang family and the Jin family. Although we have this exclusive distribution right now, it may be inappropriate to pass orders rashly, and it may not be effective."

The regent just gave him a written order and didn't say anything. ,

No manpower was sent either.

And the He family is just a coal merchant on the verge of decline, and there is no one ready to use.

If the operation is not good, the exclusive distribution rights obtained with great difficulty may be reduced to a piece of waste paper.

Uncle He came back today to report that several official kilns in Wuhai Town had been notified, but now no one came to talk about buying coal, and he probably had other plans.

Bai Fu thought about it for a while, and felt a little headache——
Although she always claims that she is a business genius, in fact, it is just that she has seen too many routines in modern times, and she has reduced the dimension to attack these ancient people.

In essence, she is not good at doing business.

She is not good at this kind of business that needs to consider political factors, and she doesn't like to think about the twists and turns inside. She is lazy and prefers simple, rude and direct methods.

"You go to the regent and ask for a token, or Shang Fang's sword, the kind that meets people like you meet, don't those people dare to disobey?" she asked.

Guo Liulang's expression changed, and he signaled Bai Fu to keep his voice down.

"The regent is not the emperor. Now that the emperor is in power, how can the regent bypass the emperor and directly give such a token or Shang Fang's sword?"

How difficult is this?

"Then ask the regent to ask the emperor for an order? This big killer is something that benefits the country and the people, and the emperor must be happy to know about it." Bai Fu said with a face of course.

Be yourself at home, be your family outside, no matter how you fight on weekdays, if it involves foreign enemies, you will be your own people in the country.

"uncertain."

Guo Liulang continued to shake his head, and said in a lower voice:
"Now the relationship between the regent and His Majesty is delicate, and the army is under the regent's jurisdiction. The regent's party has obtained oil and artillery in Wuhai Town this time. It may not be a good thing for the emperor."

Bai Fu: "."

The relationship is so bad?

Bai Fu didn't expect this.

The Regent and His Majesty are half brothers.

According to Guo Liulang, this oil artillery may not only be used in foreign wars, but also in internal wars.
Not so good.

Her babes need peaceful soil to thrive.

"Is the relationship between the two of them so bad? Is there any possibility of breaking up in the short term? Is the situation very different now?"

she thought for a while and asked.

Guo Liulang knew a lot of information about the Prince Regent since he bought the Prince Regent. Seeing that Bai Fu was concerned, he briefly explained it.

"On the surface, the relationship is not bad. His Majesty actively consults the Regent's opinion on everything, and his attitude is good, and he hardly speaks against him. But this time the Regent traveled, assassinations continued along the way, and the officers and soldiers suspected that His Majesty did it."

Bai Fu suddenly realized that the trip on the road was caused by the emperor?
Fortunately, the regent was not in the guard of honor at all, so there was no accident.

How did Bai Fu know that the Prince Regent was not there?

Naturally, the bracelet told her.

When the Regent's carriage passed in front of her, the carriage was surrounded by heavy soldiers. She was a little curious about how many people were sitting in such a large carriage, so she looked at the bracelet, which showed that there was no sign of life in the carriage.

But she wasn't too surprised--
These people in power can have a few empty graves, so what is an empty carriage.

Bai Fu was thoughtful, and said for a while:
"So now the emperor only dares to poke and poke his hands secretly, and dare not do it explicitly, which shows that the strength of the two is very different, and there will be no war in the short term."

Well, if there is no war, it will not affect her farming, nor will it affect her making money. Whether those people fight or not is none of her business.

Bai Fu nodded in satisfaction, and murmured in a low voice.

"What are you mumbling about?"

Guo Liulang couldn't hear her clearly, so he leaned his head closer, "Tell me, how do you use this exclusive distribution right?"

Bai Fu stroked his chin and pondered carefully.

"Since that's the case, there's no rush for the wrought iron kiln and the porcelain kiln. Now the coking coal technology is only available in your He family. When the forged iron kiln of the Ministry of War is used and the effect is good, other kilns will naturally come to buy it. You prepare the inventory and wait." Just do it."

And said:

"The key now is anthracite. Before the Jin family and the Wang family are involved in the business targeting the general public, our sales channels must be established as soon as possible."

"How to build it?" Guo Liulang asked, "In addition to wrought iron kilns and porcelain kilns, who do you plan to sell these anthracites to?"

"Naturally, all the common people who need fire!" Bai Fu said.

History does not lie, she believes that the scene of burning coal in every household will definitely appear.

Guo Liulang, who had never read history, frowned.

"I told you that the rich don't like coal, but the poor can't afford it, right?"

These days, rich people buy charcoal, while poor people mostly go to the mountains to cut firewood by themselves.

"Then sell it to people who are neither poor nor rich?" Bai Fu patted Guo Liulang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I have a plan. I don't need to use this exclusive distribution right for now, just keep it as an endorsement."

The regent gave the paperwork and refused to give it to others. If he didn't want to give it, he couldn't give it.

The latter is more likely, after all, it is impossible for the regent not to want more oil artillery.

The He family didn't have any manpower, so they used poles to force people to use them. If the other party came to be tough, they would have nothing to do.

So for the time being, you can't take the initiative to provoke, you have to wait for a suitable time.

But they can't just sit still.

Since the regent dared to issue this document, they should first make good use of the document and do what they can.

The documents only say that they are the exclusive official coal dealers, but they do not say whether the official coal refers to the coal supplied by the government or the coal supplied to the government.

Nowadays, common people use less coal, so most people understand the latter.

What if they claim to be the former?

The regent weighs the pros and cons first, so we can't blame them for playing around the corner
Guo Liulang signaled Bai Fu to continue.

"For the sake of long-term cooperation, let me explain to you."

"I'm going to make something called honeycomb coal. As long as it's not used in a closed room, it's excellent for cooking and heating."

"In the future, many people will face no firewood to burn. I checked the temperature changes in winter in recent years, and it shows that winter has become colder and colder in recent years, and the demand for fuel will increase."

"Whether the rich like it or not, they'll switch to coal when there's no other option, and you'll just sit back and get rich."

Guo Liulang is not stupid either, he immediately understood.

"You mean, first use this exclusive distribution right to pave the briquette channel and seize the opportunity?"

Bai Fu gave him a thumbs up, talked to Guo Liulang carefully, and finally said:
"The He family is now spending all their money to build cannons for the Regent. I don't expect to pay me dividends in the past two years. For the time being, we will trade at the normal price we agreed on. I planned to cooperate with the Tiger Roaring Escort for this business. Shanghe’s family, we have a three-party cooperation, you provide raw materials and exclusive distribution rights documents, I provide technology and manufacturing, Tiger Roaring Escort is responsible for transportation and sales, how about it?”

The current situation of the He family can only be like this.

"You've thought it all over, so why don't you ask me?" Guo Liulang curled his lips, "Now grandma obeys you, and those who don't know think you are her grandson."

Bai Fu made an expression that I am so loved by others, "I can't help it, who made me a great benefactor of your He family."

"It's a great benefactor, a great benefactor, a great kind man, just ask for anything." Guo Liulang cupped his hands pretendingly.

Bai Fu smiled, refusing to be issued a charity card.

"Don't think about morality kidnapping me. This is only temporary. I won't be polite if I make a lot of money in the future. We will act according to the contract then."

Guo Liulang laughed angrily.

"Speaking as if you were being polite?"

Bai Fu pretended to be surprised, "I don't have one?"

"do you have?"

Guo Liulang narrowed his eyes, and Bai Fu made two hecks.

"Three hundred copper coins for your life, so cheap, isn't it polite?"

"Bai Fu!"

Guo Liulang stiffened all over, he managed to convince himself to forget about it!

Bai Fu rolled his eyes.

"All right, all right, isn't it just a kiss, why are you blushing?"

"You said it!"

"Okay, okay, you are thin-skinned, you are right, you have a loud voice, you are powerful."

"."

Guo Liulang left Bai Fu's room angrily.

Bai Fu finally got her wish and stayed alone quietly, she shook her head with a smile and continued to study her new gadget.
