I became a group pet after dressing as nine elder brothers

Kangxi approached a few steps strangely.

The briquettes stacked on the gray tarpaulin mule cart look weird, and are quite different from the coals I have seen before. The cylindrical briquettes are not like briquettes that roll randomly and make transportation difficult, but are piled neatly on the mule cart. The important thing is that the number in front of him surprised Kangxi.

Can this quantity really be sold out?

This question just popped up in Kangxi's mind, and he couldn't wait for him to inquire carefully about the vendors in front of him, when he saw the moment the voice of the conversation fell, more than ten people rushed forward and surrounded the mule cart, and took out their pockets. The money yelled: "I want two catties!"

"I want two catties too!"

"I want four catties!"

"Ten catties, please!"

Following their cries, many common people flocked to the side to watch the excitement, looking at the briquettes in amazement and at the women crowded beside the vendors.

As for Kangxi, he has already been squeezed to the outside by the common people.

While looking around curiously, he also asked his two sons in a low voice: "Is this the person you arranged?"

Yinzhen shook his head.

He stood beside him with relish, his eyes wide open looking at this and that.

Then there are so many people?

Kangxi widened his eyes, and just as he was about to ask the three or five spectators around him, he couldn't help but open his mouth: "Xue Sha's family, what are you buying this for? Seeing that the strange coal can be used?"

"That's right! This briquette looks too strange."

"Er Huzi's family, don't buy things indiscriminately, be careful your man scolds you!"

Some people also looked critically at the honeycomb charcoal piled up on the mule cart of the street vendor: "Pang Ji in Xichengkou has recently reduced the price of charcoal fires a lot, and the portion is sufficient and the price is cheap. Let me say that I should buy it there."

"Oh really?"

"That's right! A catty of coal used to cost ten yuan, but now it only costs twelve yuan for two catties of coal!" The man was proud of himself, puffed out his chest and glanced at the mule cart vendor with contempt: "Compared to this kind of shop without a storefront, The stall, there is definitely a guarantee there. What's more, the demolition is a lot of spare money, why don't we use it better?"

The man's words immediately made many people who were eager to try hesitated.Kangxi raised his eyebrows, and looked at Yinzhen in disbelief: "Is there any money for the demolition?"

"Yes, the common people will definitely not be happy if it is forced to be demolished." Yinzhen looked at the dissatisfied Kangxi, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Let's add a little more money after we divide the new house, and the common people will be happy."

"...Didn't you already have a new home?"

"After all, it's not a good location, and the people have to be compensated. As for the money, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already earned it back from the cement factory."

Yinzhen calculated the demolition fee plus the cost of moving the house, and the total was only a thousand taels of silver.Kangxi looked around and saw the extraordinarily clean and beautiful ground - more than a thousand taels of silver can double the width of the streets of the capital, which can be regarded as cheap and good quality.

The three of them muttered on the sidelines, while the quarrel surrounding the briquette mule cart continued.The fat woman known as Xue Sha's family put her hips on her hips and shouted loudly: "The honeycomb coal we bought only costs ten Wen for two catties!"

This price was cheaper than the discounted briquettes, and the people who were still arguing before suddenly fell silent.

Although a sum of money was allocated for the demolition and relocation, most people think that they are saving for their children's education and dowry. It would be best to save a penny or two on weekdays.

Many people looked at each other in blank dismay.

Then most of the people were eager to try it, and those who had spoken well of Pangji's shop curled their lips and stood aside and muttered in a low voice: "It's all holes, and such a big piece is definitely not as useful as Pangji's!"

Xue Sha's family scoffed.

She put her hands on her hips and glared at the man angrily: "That's not it! This briquette is much more useful than briquettes! It takes a long time to burn, and the price is much cheaper than briquettes. If you want me to tell you, Old Xu, don't you?" Could it be that he took Pang Ji’s money and came here to talk nonsense? Your mother-in-law was still saying that this briquette is good!"

Old Xu's face turned blue and white.

He jumped up anxiously: "You—you're talking nonsense! You spout blood!"

But Lao Xu's weird face had already betrayed him, and the people came back to their senses in an instant.Wouldn't it be possible to cause people to destroy it like this?This rumor was spread ten to ten times, and dozens of ordinary people flocked to the avenue all of a sudden, all of them came to buy this briquette to have a look.

Two catties only cost ten Wen.

Seeing the large number of people who came back to buy for the first time, the vendor was also clever.Immediately promised that the first time I bought it, I could buy it for five cents a catty and try it out!

Five cents a catty!

If you can't buy it, you will suffer a loss, if you can't buy it, you will be fooled.Thinking that the briquettes in a mule cart were robbed in an instant, the more people robbed, the more people came around, and those who came later didn't even have their turn.

The vendor grinned the corners of his mouth wide open.

Seeing that a group of people who couldn't buy began to complain, the vendor took out a pencil and paper and recorded their addresses one by one, promising to deliver the goods door-to-door.

This service attitude.

In the capital city, no!It is the first crop of the whole Qing Dynasty.The rest of the people who were waiting and watching couldn't help but place orders one by one.

Anyway, it's only five cents.

If it turns out to be really good after trying it out, then they will get more than just a five-cent bargain!

Kangxi looked surprised.

Seeing the street vendor leave with an empty mule cart, he asked Yinzhen in a low voice, "Is this briquette really as good as what you say? You can't be bragging, can you?"

Yinzhen rolled her eyes at Kangxi speechlessly.

Prince Yinfeng laughed happily: "Khan Ama, this briquette is really a good thing. In the past, two catties of briquettes could only be used for one day, and the poorer people could only use it for three days, but this briquette burned Not to mention that it is convenient to burn without frequent fanning, it burns very thoroughly, and it can burn for a day and a half for two catties."

"Then will this price make you lose money?"

"No, the coal mines themselves are also dug by prisoners. A strong worker can dig one to three coal mines a day. Including the cost of transportation, the cost is much lower than that of people in coal mine shops."

The price of honeycomb coal is much lower than that of briquettes.

Of course the people in the coal mine shop were not happy, but they couldn’t stand it. Everyone knew that the briquette was something that was tossed out of the imperial research institute, and the emperor, prince and elder brothers stood behind it.

How dare mere merchants want to break ground on Tai Sui's head?At most, they would bite the bullet and fight a price war because they found that the imperial court did not intend to put pressure on it. As for the price war, of course, everyone in the research institute is not afraid.

"prisoner?"

"Father, have you forgotten? It's still the book written by the fifth brother."

Prince Yinreng looked at the people around him.

After confirming that no one noticed his side, he lowered his voice and continued: "Fifth brother saw a bunch of complaints from the Ministry of Punishment and hated them to death. According to the original words of the fifth brother, these residues can be sent to the mine for mining and saving." A few pennies sent home is considered the final value—as for light criminals, there are other places to work and earn some money, which is much more comfortable than working in a mine.”

Kangxi couldn't help laughing.

The fifth elder brother Yinqi's temperament is too gentle and benevolent, so he stuffed him into the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment to study in turn on a whim.However, in half a year, he may have seen too many true and false, weird and weird cases, and he lost his past softness and kindness, and his murderous spirit was so heavy that he couldn't tell the difference among the men in the military camp.

As soon as the prince reminded Kangxi, he also remembered the plan proposed by Yinqi: it is too cheap for prisoners from all over the country to be locked up in prisons, and the serious criminals are sent to work as miners and coin miners.As for light criminals, they first went through military training and ideological education, and then they were sent to various places to build roads, make cumbersome handicrafts, and so on.If you perform well, you can also get a commutation of sentence and early release from prison.

Galtai, the servant of the Ministry of Punishments, also lamented that the difficulty of prison prisoner management has been reduced a lot compared to before. Thinking about it in less than half a year, how does Kangxi feel that the whole world has changed.

He felt very uncomfortable.

Looking sourly at the two sons who were beaming with joy, Kangxi stretched out his hand and patted Prince Yinreng's shoulder: "You are also the one who married Fujin...Father is waiting to hold a grandson."

Prince Yinreng was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red.

One month after returning from Jingling, Prince Yinreng's big wedding will be held. Now is the time when the phoenix sings in harmony, the husband sings and the wife follows, and the poetry and prose are harmonious.Khan Ama's sudden words made Yinreng's eyes drift, and a blush appeared on his face, and he looked a little silly instead of being alert just now.

Kangxi, who was only teasing in a jealous atmosphere at first, is now the other way around - maybe it means having a daughter-in-law and forgetting his father!

At this moment, Yinzhen curled her lips: "Ama, you are so fierce, don't try to pretend to be old and shirk your responsibilities, you should know that you are still too early to retire!"

Kangxi's grief for the autumn and the moon were swept away immediately.

He blew his beard and stared: "Is this the kind of person you, Ama, are in your eyes?"

Yinzhen nodded without hesitation, and said to Prince Yinfeng: "Second brother also thinks so, right?"

Prince Yinfeng: ...

How would he answer this question?Facing the scorching eyes of Kangxi and Yinzhen, Yinfeng was full of desire to complain.

Thinking carefully about the recent workload, Yinfeng felt that Yinzhen was right - if Khan Ama fooled her, she might not have time to spend with Fujin.

Look how long the eldest brother has been in the northwest?

Thinking of this, Crown Prince Yinfeng looked at Kangxi with vigilance in his eyes, and he nodded heavily: "Yinzhen is right."

Kangxi: ...

A vein popped up on his forehead.

Kangxi can feel that he is indeed the spirit of Longma.

After all, his hands are itching very much now, and he just wants to grab his two sons and beat them up.Kangxi gritted his teeth, stopped the urge to beat up his son in public, and just stretched out his hand to slap Yinzhen on the forehead: "Your father, I don't want to retire yet!"

I have to wait until I'm 60 to retire!

Kangxi snorted coldly, and he brought the topic back to honeycomb coal: "Speaking of which, honeycomb coal looks easy to make? Aren't you afraid that other Meishan bosses will do the same?"

Yinzhen covered her forehead and grinned: "They... let them do this if they want to. I didn't intend to make money from this, so I figured it out by the way."

"...?"

"Hey, Dad, you will find out when you go to the research institute with Erchen." Yinzhen pushed Kangxi's back and walked forward.

The three of them walked all the way to the intersection of the south city and the west city of the capital.

Going to the west is the residence of dignitaries and dignitaries, which is very quiet and deep.Going to the south is the place where ordinary people live, where the alleys are criss-crossed and extend in all directions.The street market is extremely lively, with shops lined up row upon row, shouts can be heard endlessly, and the flow of people seems to be two completely different worlds from Xicheng.

The Institute is sandwiched between the two.

It occupies a very large area, and the majestic buildings inside can be vaguely seen behind the four-foot-high wall.The servants, who were already familiar with the appearance of His Highness the Crown Prince and Brother Nine, opened the door without hesitation and welcomed everyone in.

Who else can make His Royal Highness and Brother Nine follow behind?The servants with winking eyes had already rushed into the front yard of the research institute, and Zhang Ying, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, hurried out with a group of officials and craftsmen.

"My humble minister pays respects to the emperor."

"Get up - I heard Brother Jiu said that you have researched something new? I also want to take a look." Kangxi is very curious about things that can make money.

Zhang Ying was taken aback for a moment.

He glanced at Yinzhen, and finally felt relieved after seeing his affirmative nod, turned around and led Kangxi to a separate small building.

Kangxi looked left and right suspiciously.

There was a trace of bewilderment on his face, and he turned his head to look at Yinzhen and the others: "What are you bringing me to the bathroom for?"

The small building in front of me looks exquisite again.

I can't stand it. There is a small sign hanging on the gate, and there are two big characters on the book toilet.
