Tang Dynasty good husband

Chapter 153
"Those caravans are so contradictory, have they ever worried about their reputation?" Qin Chao was extremely annoyed.

If the event hadn't been promoted yet, the event could have been canceled directly. But now that the event was about to take place, and everyone in Chang'an knew about it, the caravans suddenly sent someone to inform them that the goods could not be delivered.

In ancient times, the probability of such a thing happening was quite low, even those rich and famous families would never dare to do such a thing.

Of course, the problem with one caravan may be an exception, but looking at the crowd gathered outside, I am afraid that there is a problem with all the caravans. No matter how brainless Qin Chao is, he can still figure out that he is being targeted. .

As for who is the mastermind behind it, it is most likely those shops from aristocratic families. Apart from them, no one else has the ability to swallow the goods from Yong'anfang this time.

"Hey, the reputation will definitely be damaged, but the New Year is coming soon, isn't it? It's understandable for people to want to go home early..." Several merchants sighed softly, what else can they do now?
There is no one in his hand, no one can do anything about it, Qin Chao is a traveler, and at this time he can only have one Mochou, but no matter what this time, he will definitely suffer from this dark loss.

"Report the list of all the caravans who have failed to make appointments this time. All merchants in the shop are not allowed to have any relationship with these caravans in the future. Once discovered, they will be cleared out directly." Qin Chao said fiercely.

Since those caravans chose to take refuge in the family, they should think about the possible revenge in the future.

Qin Chao is not a saint. There are tens of thousands of caravans in the world. Without these caravans this time, Yong'an Square can still open normally, just to get through the period of the New Year.

But don't let Qin Chao catch his breath, otherwise some people will definitely regret coming to this world.

"In addition, an announcement has been posted that starting from tomorrow, the market will be preparing for year-end activities and the market will be closed for three days."

Qin Chao continued, there was no other way, he didn't want to make the reputation of Yong'an Square fall, and now he could only use this method to reduce the loss of goods before the event.

Another reason is that after the notice was posted, the daily sales in the shop began to drop sharply. Unless they are in a special hurry to use it, or some rich and powerful people don't care at all, people basically wait for the event.

Of course, the consumption channel of Yonganfang is not open to ordinary people, and once this event is messed up, there is basically no reason for Yonganfang to continue to open.

All shopkeepers had no choice but to leave with their heads nodded. They and Yong'an Fang could be said to be both prosperous and injurious. They had just had a good few days, and no one wanted to make a mistake at this time, but faced with this kind of problem, they did not There is no way.

Qin Chao didn't say anything, and the shopkeepers didn't say anything, but none of us were fools. These shopkeepers also saw the root of the problem?But at the same time, this is not something they can intervene, and they don't have the ability to intervene.

"Brother..." Cheng Chu Mo rushed in, looking at the quiet office, his heart burst into anger.

Qin Chao looked up at Cheng Chumo, followed by Niu Jianhu, and Chang Sun Chong who had just joined the group during this period of time.

"Brother, those aristocratic families must have done this. No one but them would dare to do this!" Cheng Chumo said angrily.

"What can you do if you know? The caravan doesn't want to sell goods to you, so what can you do?" Qin Chao responded with a wry smile.

"Hmph, since the appointment is broken, the younger brother will take the servants to beat up all those caravans and go home for the New Year? Don't even think about it!" Niu Jianhu said angrily.

"Don't ask for trouble!" Qin Chao looked at the crowd angrily, and then said: "According to the previously agreed time, those caravans should be not far from Chang'an at this moment, so the two of you will go to disperse the family members and let them Look for traces of those caravans nearby and don’t disturb them. It would be best if you could record who their goods were finally delivered to.”

"Brother, don't worry. Even if they did something, they may not know who touched them. Even if they knew, they wouldn't dare to report it to the official because of the arrogance of those caravans. Even if they reported it to the official, His Majesty would probably do the same. He prefers us." Changsun Chong said.

This Yong'an Square also has the shares of the Changsun's family. Changsun Chong had a good relationship with Cheng Chumo and others, so after the completion of Yong'an Square, the few people mingled together all day long.

"Others don't dare, but this matter will definitely spread. By then, the reputation of our Yong'an Square will be ruined. Which caravan will dare to do business with us in the future? There is a grievance and a debtor. Since they don't want to To do our business, we will no longer have any contact with them from that day on, and our real target should be those moths hiding behind." Qin Chao couldn't help but reminded again, for fear that these fearless second-generation ancestors would really do something What made him regret his whole life.

After fooling the little guys away, Cheng Chumo still refused to leave.

Qin Chao gave some instructions to Lao Hei, and then Lao Hei nodded and left. Qin Chao looked at Cheng Chumo again and asked, "Chu Mo, is there anything else?"

"Hehe... Well, there are three things." Cheng Chumo chuckled and touched his head.

"kindness?"

"The first thing, I found a way to improve the coke. Originally, we sealed the seal and waited for the coke inside to go out naturally, but the coke made in that way has many defective products that have been burned. So I tried Drenched it with water to extinguish it, and found that the effect was not bad.

The second thing, I have already finished the iron-smelting furnace that the elder brother mentioned. There are five tuyeres and nine bellows in total. I used the coke I tested before to refine it, and found that the effect is really good. It takes less time than before to make iron. Much less, and the quality of the iron is better than ever.After adding limestone, I also found that the steel forming rate has increased a lot, but I haven't found the right ratio yet. "

"It doesn't matter if you can't find the ratio. The steel that seems to be scrap is actually not really scrapped. When the next furnace of steel is refined, you can add a little less limestone and then add some scrap steel, so the effect will be better. "Qin Chao said, as for the reason, he didn't know, he only knew that he always heard people say that before, so he followed Cheng Chumo's example.

"Okay, I'll try it out when I get back." Cheng Chumo nodded and wrote it down, and continued: "The third thing, I found a way to make steel bars."

The previous steel bars were hammered out by craftsmen, which was not only slow but also very laborious. Cheng Chumo came up with an ingenious method.

Of course, before this method was successful, Cheng Chumo also faced many failures, but fortunately he succeeded in the end, and this method will not only improve efficiency, but also mean that building military forts in the future can basically be used reinforced concrete structure.
