Looking at the thick stack of contracts in front of him, Yang Fan smiled.

Is it a foul?

As long as he has the land deed in his hands tomorrow, he will not care about so much!

Besides, Yang Fan is not a person who is afraid of trouble.

Moreover, buying coal mines was not Yang Fan’s mind that he was irritated.

Since he decided to open up a new channel, Yang Fan certainly had to build new ships.

The main driving force of ships during the Tang Dynasty was actually sails and manual hand-cranking, which was not suitable for crossing the ocean and crossing the sea.

Due to the limitations of the industrial base, the amount of gold is also limited, and it is impossible to exchange or manufacture any internal gas or nuclear-powered ships.

But there is still no problem with the steam engine powered ship.

If confidentiality is done well, steam engine-powered ships can dominate this era for at least dozens or hundreds of years.

Wouldn't it be nice to get a power of an internal combustion engine when the time is right?

Moreover, the principle of the steam engine is relatively simple and easy to buy.

Just boil into steam by burning water in the steam boiler, and then steam is sent to the cylinder through the pipe.

Fuel is of course the most practical coal, and coal mines are extremely convenient at this time because they have not been over-developed, and there are many open-pit coal mines.

This is also why Yang Fan made a big spy to buy coal mines.

Coal mines were called waste mountains in the Tang Dynasty, but coal mines were more valuable resources than gold and silver.

In later generations, the first group of rich people to get rich was coal bosses.

Unexpectedly, he would have become a coal boss one day, and Yang Fan was so happy that he laughed.

What does it feel like when you become the person you once hated the most?

Now Yang Fan can answer directly - it's so cool!

He happily picked up Wu Meiniang and turned around for a few times, then stamped a seal on her fair white face.

Yang Fan then asked in confusion: "Mei Niang is so capable, how could the acquisition be so smooth?"

In the future, if you want to buy a mine, don’t talk about whether you have money or not. Even if you have money, it will take several months to run the procedures, so it can be done so easily.

Although Yang Fan didn't know how much he bought, there were obviously a lot of such a thick stack of land deeds.

Wu Meiniang was a little confused about Yang Fan's behavior of killing and burying. She regretted that the visitor refused to buy so many Carboniferous mountains.

It turned out that my husband had no fixed amount at all. In order to buy these Carboniferous Mountains, he almost emptied all the money from the Yang Mansion.

Wu Meiniang is still feeling a little distressed now!

However, things were already a foregone conclusion, and Wu Meiniang had to tell the whole story.

After listening, Yang Fan frowned and said nothing.

However, Chang'an City was in an instant, because the nobles led by the Changsun family sold the Carbonifer Mountain, which was like a useless man, to Yang Fan, Zhongyi, at a high price.

Those who didn't deal with Yang Fan secretly called Yang Fan a bad guy, and he actually spent so much money to buy these useless Carboniferous Mountains, looking like he was watching the show.

If the relationship is good, it is because of the secret concern and they send people to inquire about the reason.

...

Inside the Duke of Zhao’s Mansion.

A middle-aged manager was reporting on the Carboniferous Mountain transaction to Changsun Chong.

"Young Master, the contract for Carbon Mountain has been signed. Tomorrow, just go to the county government to sign the delivery and it will be completed. At that time, even if the Zhongyi Bo Yang Fan wants to repent, it will not be too late!"

After hearing this, Changsun Chong looked happy: "This time I did a good job. After the matter is done, I will be rewarded with many rewards. How is the Carbon Mountain of the other companies?"

"Almost all the mansions that the eldest son said hello have signed a contract. The Chen family and the Yang family did not sell them because of hesitation. It is said that because Bo Zhongyi had no money, they still regret it now!" When they heard that there was a heavy reward, the middle-aged manager's eyes flashed and he quickly flattered.

Changsun snorted coldly and said unhappily: "Hmph, Chen family, Yang family, I remember that I dare not listen to someone. It is really a failure to succeed and a failure. It almost ruined my good deeds. Fortunately, their Carbon Mountains have no concerns."

Then he waved his hand and let the middle-aged manager retreat, and his handsome face became a little gloomy.

As soon as the middle-aged manager left, Changsun Wuji rushed into the main hall with some anxiety. As soon as he saw Changsun Chong, he questioned: "Chong'er, I just heard that you sold all the Carbon Mountains in the mansion?"

Looking at Changsun Wuji with an excited face, Changsun raised his head and said proudly:

"Does my father also think that Chong'er is selling well? Now he can sell it at a high price. This time he has earned at least 200,000 yuan for our mansion. It is really not easy to meet a sucker like Yang Fan!"

In the past, Changsun Chong was always as timid as a quail in front of Changsun Wuji. Now that he has done something big, he is of course as proud as a peacock.

Changsun Chong felt that he had finally stood up and no longer had to survive in the shadow of his father.

However, Changsun Chong, whose nostrils were facing the sky, did not notice it. Changsun Wuji's face suddenly turned red and white, and finally turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Changsun Chong did not wait for Changsun Wuji's praise as he wished, but instead he was pointed at the nose and scolded: "It's outrageous. Why don't you discuss such a big deal with someone..."

Changsun Wuji's abnormal behavior suddenly stunned Changsun Chong.

I exchanged a pile of useless Carboniferous Mountains for hundreds of thousands of stagnant money. Shouldn’t I be praised? Why are I still scolded?

So he retorted with dissatisfaction: "The Carboniferous Mountains in our mansion are tasteless, and it's a pity to throw them away. They have not brought any benefits to the mansion for so many years. The reason why we retained so many Carboniferous Mountains was also hoped to be used for iron smelting, but my father didn't say that the iron ore refined with stone carbon is both brittle and unbearable. Since stone carbons are useless, wouldn't it be better to sell Carboniferous Mountains for money?"

Looking at Changsun Chong, who was still refuting with righteous words, Changsun Wuji sighed secretly.

Although the talent of his eldest son belongs to the younger generation in Chang'an, he still has too little experience after all.

If you sell it all in such impulsiveness, only a young man can do such a thing.

Don’t you know the reason why eggs cannot be placed in the same basket? It’s simply that you don’t leave any way out.

Changsun Wuji did not feel sorry for these useless Carbon Mountains. What made him worried was that Changsun Chong's methods of doing things were not through his brain and he was too self-righteous.

In fact, it’s also a bit of Changsun Wuji. Changsun Chong has grown up with the golden key in his mouth since he was born, and he has not suffered any setbacks. It is normal for him to be proud.

However, as his future heir, Changsun Chong had to teach him, so he tempted him: "What do Chong'er thinks of the loyal and righteous man Yang Fan?"

Changsun thrust his chest and said arrogantly: "It turns out that I thought this stick had some tricks, but now it seems that it is not the case."

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly and said unhappily: "Since that's the case, why is Chong'er just a position as a fourth-rank Shaoqing, while Zhongyi Bo is a fourth-rank Minister of Rites? Have you never reflected on it?"

This made Changsun Chong lose face and said hesitantly: "It's not because the stick has made contributions to the court in preventing plagues and making money, and then he used flattery to deceive His Majesty..."

Looking at his son who was unreflective but instead made a point of reasoning, Changsun Wuji was a little disappointed and shook his head slightly.

How could I give birth to such a son after my lifetime? How could I feel at ease to hand over the future of the entire family to him?

If the Zhongyi Bo Yang Fan was really incompetent, how could he dare to break into the Duke's Mansion and beat the prince?

Even if you can get rid of the minions of King Li Tai of Wei on the first day of taking office, such a person would be a simple person.

Besides, if you can really become the fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites by relying on clever words and demeanor, isn’t this a skill?

Seeing Changsun Wuji's disappointed expression, Changsun Chong was also a little moved. Did he really do something wrong?

But then he drove this idea out of his mind.

So he argued strongly: "I admit that the stick-mao was a little talented before, but since he beat His Highness the King of Wei last month, hasn't he been punished by His Majesty? It is rumored that since then, Zhongyi Bo has been damaged. Not only has he dozed off during court, but he even suffered from madness. I think there is nothing to be afraid of, is my father too careful?"

Changsun Wuji suddenly wailed and looked at Changsun Chong like an idiot: "Yang Fan was punished by His Majesty last time, was that spanking? Do you think spanking will ruin your brain? Besides, I saw it with my own eyes when I was father. That guy was still jumping around after being beaten."

Changsun Chong reacted at this time, he hesitated and didn't know how to answer. Finally, he could only lower his head and whisper: "My father, did you really sell it wrong? What should I do now?"

When Changsun Wuji saw Changsun Chong, he sighed, his face slowly calmed down, and explained patiently: "Actually, my father doesn't know whether this is right or wrong, because I don't know what Zhongyi Bo bought Carbon Mountain for a large-scale purchase of Carbon Mountain, but what I want to tell you is that you have to leave a way out for everything you do to be able to adapt to it."

No matter what you do in the future, you must think twice before acting, and don’t let yourself have no room for maneuver.

As the saying goes, when showing people rituals, you will have something to ask for, and when temptation, you will have something to gain...
