It's just this price, it is estimated that Li Shimin will cut it again.

"My planned price is 10 coins per basket, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Li Ke actually had an expected price in mind.

10 Wen a basket!

He deliberately opened a basket of 20 Wen, just to leave room for bargaining.

Duan Lun cut 5 coins for a basket, and he thought that Li Shimin would cut another 5 coins, which should be almost the same.

While digging a basket of coal costs 5 Wen, the cost of washing a basket of coal is similar.

That is to say, the cost of digging and washing a basket of coal is 1 penny.

Plus a series of consumption such as venue, food, transportation and so on.

The price of a basket of coal is about 2 Wen.

If you sell a basket of 10 coins, the profit is still very good.

Especially the Ministry of Industry is a big coal eater!

For such a stable customer who needs a lot of coal every day, even if the profit is 8 cents per basket, the overall profit is very considerable!

In short, as long as the price is 10 coins per basket, he can make a lot of money!

In the Hall of Ganlu.

Duan Lun is reporting this to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, coal is indeed a necessity for steelmaking. Whether it is used as a raw material for ironmaking or as coke for steelmaking, there is a great demand for coal."

"Currently coal can only be bought from His Highness King Wu, so we are here to ask His Majesty to allocate funds!"

Duan Lun didn't talk nonsense, and directly told Li Shimin the importance and irreplaceability of coal for steelmaking.

He also told Li Shimin that the nearby coal mines were all bought by Li Ke, and he could only buy coal from Li Ke if he wanted coal!

Hearing Duan Lun's words, a flash of understanding flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

He had thought before that Li Ke hired so many people to mine and wash coal, so what is the use of coal?

At that time, Li Ke just told him that coal would be in great demand in the future, but he didn't say what it would be useful for.

Now that Duan Lun came to ask for money, he immediately understood what the coal was for.

This kid really never does anything that doesn't make money!

"What price did he offer you?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

"15 coins a basket!"

Duan Lun replied truthfully.

"15 cash a basket?"

Hearing this price, everyone in Li Shimin was dumbfounded!

"Is he crazy about money?"

Li Shimin slapped the table heavily and said angrily.

Duan Lun doesn't know the cost of coal, how can he not know?

He had just been to the mine yesterday, and he knew how much it cost to dig a basket of coal and wash a basket of coal.

He estimated that even if all the expenses were excluded, the cost of a basket of coal would never exceed 3 Wen!

For the cost of only 3 Wen, Li Ke dared to offer 15 Wen to the Ministry of Industry!

This is not such a robbery for money!

"Ahem, Your Majesty, King Wu said that he spent a lot of money to buy coal mines, and the cost mainly came from the coal mines."

Seeing Li Shimin's angry look, Duan Lun couldn't help saying something for Li Ke.

Although Li Ke plotted against him, it did not cause any loss to him.

And he also helped the Ministry of Industry to increase steel production, he has to thank Li Ke!

Besides, Li Ke also promised to take him with him for the next business!

"It cost a lot of money to buy a coal mine?"

Li Shimin sneered, and said disdainfully: "He thought I didn't know? He bought hundreds of coal mines and only spent less than 15 guan. Does that mean spending a lot of money?"

After going to the mine yesterday, he asked the dark guard to investigate.

It was found that Li Ke was indeed buying coal mines everywhere, not only all the coal mines around Chang'an City were bought.

Even further places are constantly buying!

And the more you buy, the farther you go. It means buying all the coal mines in the country.

Not only that, Li Ke is not picky at all.

Big coal mines have to be bought, and small coal mines have to be bought too!

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Duan Lun was also dumbfounded!

Good guy, he still underestimated Li Ke!

Li Ke is even more awesome than he imagined!

"Then this coal?"

Duan Lun asked tentatively.

No way, the Ministry of Industry is still waiting for the coal to start tomorrow!

"10 coins a basket, tell him that he loves to sell, and if he doesn't sell, he will be defeated!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said very unhappy.

Yesterday he felt that Li Ke was very considerate of the common people, working for the common people, and giving them such generous treatment.

It turned out that he had to pay the money in the end today!

The most important thing is that Li Ke has earned all his fame and reputation!

He is paid and has no name!

It's really a pure and innocent species!

When he thought of this, he was furious!

"Yes!"

Duan Lun understood what Li Shimin meant, and then withdrew.

Anyway, he doesn't need to pay, as long as Li Shimin is willing to pay.

As for the price, it has nothing to do with him.

Wu Wangfu.

Li Ke was drinking tea leisurely when someone came in and delivered a letter, which was written by Duan Lun and sent over.

"It looks like it's done?"

Li Ke smiled, then opened the letter and read it.

He basically guessed the contents of the letter.

It was Li Shimin who agreed with the Ministry of Industry to sell coal from him.

And the price was as he expected, Li Shimin got 10 Wen per basket.

He was not surprised by this.

Anyway, even with 10 coins per basket, he still has a lot of profit.

However, Duan Lun revealed in the letter that Li Shimin knew that he was buying coal mines everywhere at low prices.

And Li Shimin didn't have any emotions about this, he should have acquiesced to his behavior.

Seeing this, Li Ke's eyes suddenly brightened.

Li Shimin acquiesced to this matter, which sent a message.

That is, Li Shimin will not care about him buying coal mines everywhere, he can continue to buy coal mines in the future!

Originally, what he wanted was to buy as many coal mines as possible before Li Shimin knew about it.

In this way, even if Li Shimin knew about it and stopped him from buying it, then he would have a large number of coal mines under his name.

After all, the raw rice has been cooked, so Li Ke can't let Li Ke hand over the coal mine he bought with money!

It's good now, Li Shimin doesn't care about him if he knows it, so what are you afraid of next, just keep buying!

Buy as much as you have!

He, Li Ke, will be the biggest coal boss in Datang!

PS: The sixth update!Today's update is complete! .

Chapter 102 Li Ke was Imprinted by Planting Strawberries!

Now that an agreement has been reached, coal will be delivered normally the next day.

Early in the morning, someone sent baskets of processed coal to the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry has coal, so it can naturally continue to make steel and iron.

In this way, ~ a few days passed.

A large amount of iron ore was smelted into excellent-quality molten iron, and then poured into molds to become plows.

After assembling with other parts of Quyuanli, a brand new Quyuanli is completed!

At the same time, due to the explosion of iron production, the number of Quyuanli also exploded.

After a few days, the finished products of Quyuanli were transported away from the Ministry of Industry one by one, and then distributed to the common people one by one by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

After the assembly line operation started, the output of bobbins also began to soar!

In short, when spring plowing came, many people around Chang'an City used Quyuan plows and bobbin carts!

And at this time, it happened to be the time for spring plowing, so the Quyuan plow and the bobbin cart came in handy, and then began to show their power.

"The newly issued Quyuanli plow by the imperial court is too labor-saving. My cattle used to be panting after plowing an acre of land, but now they are alive and well after plowing an acre of land!"

"Yes, not only the plowing speed is fast, but the plowed land is also deep, and the U-turn is also very flexible. It is much easier to use than the previous straight shaft plow!"

"There is also a bobbin cart, which is a magical tool for people like me who are far away from the river. It can automatically introduce water into the canal without human or animal power!"

"That's right, it's really inconvenient for me to irrigate, and the bobbin cart is really easy to use!"

Because it was the time of spring plowing, everyone discussed topics related to spring plowing.

And in the topic of spring plowing, Quyuanli and bobbin cart are two hot topics that cannot be avoided!

These two things are so useful!

One is that farming is faster and less labor-intensive, and the other is that irrigation is also faster and more labor-saving.

Combined, the efficiency of everyone's spring plowing has improved by a lot!

"Do you know? The Quyuanli and the barrel cart were both invented by His Highness King Wu!"

"Really? It's His Highness King Wu who invented Huajian wine and soap?"

"It's true, His Majesty the King of Wu was conferred the title of Minister of the Ministry of Industry because of the invention of the Quyuanli and the barrel cart!"

"His Royal Highness King Wu is truly a star of Wenqu, making farming much easier for us!"

"I heard from people in the village next door to my in-law's family that the mine of His Highness King Wu recruits people to work, and they can earn 30 Wen a day, and they also manage two meals!"

"I've also heard that the wages are quite a lot, and the money is paid on the spot before going home every day. I always want to go to the mine to work after the spring plowing is over!"

"My mother-in-law cooks for everyone in the mine, and she earns 10 coins a day!"

"His Royal Highness King Wu is really a good man!"
