The three families of Liu, Guan and Zhang are the three largest coal suppliers in Changtan County, and all three of them have intelligence personnel who specialize in inquiring about news in Jianfeng City.

After getting information about the steam engine, the three of them had their own thoughts.

Are the people in Sedum World stupid? not stupid. Otherwise, all kinds of amazing martial arts would not be created.

Perhaps due to lack of knowledge, the judgment in some aspects is not as good as that of the earthlings. But that doesn't mean they are retarded.

Especially the three families of Liu, Guan and Zhang, who almost monopolized the coal supply of Jianfeng City. On the surface, the heads of these three families seem to be unreliable local rich owners. But in fact, each one is very shrewd.

When the prototype of the steam engine was born, they had already set their sights on this energy-hungry consumer.

And soon they came to their own conclusion that this steam engine must consume a lot of coal. In the future, the supply of coal will inevitably be insufficient, and the price of coal will inevitably rise sharply!

Therefore, these three companies have used all means to acquire and merge large and small coal workshops in Changtan County in the past few months.

No matter how simple a capitalist is, he understands a simple truth: only monopoly can bring huge profits!

A monopoly has pricing power.

"Our three families need to advance and retreat together from now on."

"That's right, according to what the students in the academy said. That thing called a steam engine is a big guy who can change the world. If we can take advantage of this east wind, let alone the coal supply of Jianfeng City. I'm afraid it will be the world's most powerful thing." We can do bigger business.”

"Advance and retreat together!"

"Why don't the three of you and I form an alliance today?"

"I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day!"

"Me too!"

Silently, the alliance of the three Changtan brothers came to an end. They are going to buy a ticket to the new world in advance before the world changes.

The words are divided into two parts, and the Wang family workshop will be miserable.

The whole Wang's workshop looked gloomy and gloomy.

That Liu Baoquan was determined to eat up Wang's workshop, and it seemed that he was not ready to give compensation.

Moreover, Wang Xiaoer also inquired with his colleagues, knowing that many small workshops and small mines in Changtan County have fallen into the hands of the three big households of Liu Guanzhang.

Wang Xiaoer immediately understood the key point.

"They're going to eat all the coal in Changtan County." Wang Xiaoer said, "They're trying to force us to our death!"

"The head of the house, what should I do?" Wang Xiaoer's mother-in-law has lost her position: "Our family just added a stove this year, and the money has been invested in it. Originally, we expected to burn more charcoal this year to pay back the cost. If the workshop If it is given to the Liu family, how should our family live!"

Wang Xiaoer remained silent. The dozen or so workers in the workshop stopped working, and just sat on the mound beside them chatting casually.

"What will we do if this Wang's workshop is swallowed up by Mr. Liu?" A young worker was a little anxious.

Another older worker said indifferently: "What can we do, let's continue to work. He, Mr. Liu, doesn't want someone to burn charcoal for him? Does he want someone to handle bamboo for him? It's not the same."

The words of the older workers seemed to be approved by the people around them, but Master Li, who was in charge of burning charcoal, snorted coldly: "You think it's simple. Is it so easy to work for Mr. Liu?"

"The treasurer of the Wang family is benevolent and never owes us wages. On the fifteenth day of every month, he can get us some fat meat to eat. Can Liu Dahu do this? Hehe, he, Zhang Xing and Guan Jin are all cannibals. Demon of bones!"

"Working in Liu's house, you have to work six hours a day. If you dare to pee when you are at work, you will be counted as absent from work for one day. If you want to pee at work, you have to report to the foreman. Time counts. If you don't come back within one hundred and twenty interest, ten big money will be deducted from your wages."

"Six hours of work, a quarter of an hour break for lunch, and a quarter of an hour break for dinner. After eating, I have to get up and work, and when I stop, my wages will be deducted."

"Their cutting materials are very careful. They know how much work you can do six hours a day. They will only produce more materials. If you can't finish it, you will work overtime. Pay more."

Master Li took out a welding tobacco rod from his waist, squeezed a pot of low-quality tobacco, lit it, and smoked. Poor quality tobacco burns into a choking smoke.

The workers' glasses widened when they heard what Master Li said, and the older workers said in disbelief, "Who will work for him like this?"

"Hehe." Master Li knocked on the cigarette bag: "Changtan County is so big. Now you don't have to work for Liu Dahu, Zhang Dahu, and Guan Dahu. That's because there are still people like Wang in the county. The shopkeeper is such a good boss.

But you have all seen what happened today. This big family Liu is determined to force shopkeeper Wang to his death. I heard that many other workshops in the county were forced to quit. "

"At that time, Changtan County will only have Liu Guanzhang's industry. I will ask you, where else can you go to do it? What else can we people do besides charcoal-burning craftsmanship? What else can we do when we leave Changtan County? Go out and go hungry. dead?"

All the workers looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know what to do.

They don't want to be those poor workers who work for Liu Dahu in Master Li's mouth, but they have no way to change all this. All the uneasiness and anxiety can only be turned into sighs.

They cannot and cannot be changed.

Even at this time, the young worker who was only fifteen years old said silently: "It would be great if there was a hero in He Pingshu's story passing by here. In a fit of anger, the hero killed the three rich and unkind people, and returned us ordinary people. There is a clear blue sky above your head."

The young workers learned these words from Mr. Pingshu in the teahouse. He likes to listen to the stories about police and evil and punishing rape most. Especially the stories of those rich and unkind big families or corrupt officials subduing the law, and finally the local people live a good life.

The little worker's words were echoed. All the workers hoped that a savior would appear at this time, just like the oppressed workers in Changtan County all hoped that a savior would appear.

And does the savior really exist?

Is there anyone who can save them?

Wearing a gray monk robe, Niu Ben knocked on the door of Wang's shop like a King Kong.

"Amitabha, I passed by Changtan County, and learned that your name and many small shops in Changtan County today have suffered as hard as your name. I couldn't bear it, so I came here to tell the benefactor."

Wang Xiaoer looked at the monk in front of him, his monk Zhang Er was puzzled. What happened to the monk who suddenly appeared? Have you met a liar or a hero who has seen a rough road in a legend?
