At about the same time, Zhao Hao, led by Ji Sizheng, came to a yard on the east bank of Lugou Bridge.

There is a simple adobe wall outside the yard. When you go into the gate, you will see piles of coal inside.

"Where is this place?" Zhao Hao stood at the door, looking at the rectangular yard that was two hundred feet long and one hundred feet wide from north to south.

"This was originally a royal cargo warehouse. Lugou Bridge is a place where goods from north to south gather, so my predecessors built such an open-air yard for the goods that were temporarily stored, purchased and shipped by various royal stores."

"During the Zhengtong period, the Tartars began to enter the capital to pay tribute, but the Emperor of Longsheng was unwilling to let them enter the capital, so he ordered them to be placed outside the capital. Moreover, they brought thousands of animals and hundreds of carrots of fur every time, so they needed a spacious place, and finally used it for them." Then Ji Sizheng introduced: "But since the late emperor, the Tartars were no longer allowed to pay tribute. The place was free for twenty years, and it was not until His Highness took him back from the Honglu Temple after he was in charge of the affairs."

"But there is another yard in the imperial shop, so it's too troublesome to move it back. Your Highness gave it to the merchants and could earn a few thousand taels of rent a year."

"That's sure." Zhao Hao nodded deeply. Lugou Bridge is the only way for the capital to enter and exit the heartland of the Central Plains. Although there are not so many people on the street due to the Chinese New Year, you can imagine how prosperous it will be on weekdays when you look at the shops lined up along the Yongding River and the large trest bridge stretching for miles.

But he couldn't help but complain in his heart that he wouldn't be careful when he wasn't his own. If he had a large yard of 180,000 square meters, he would have built a warehouse like Bailuzhou.

That way, just collecting the warehouse fee will be several times higher than now.

But the place where Himeshi chose was indeed perfect.

If it is too close to the capital, so many refugees gather, the government will become nervous again; it is far away and remote, and it is inconvenient. It can be perfectly solved by putting it in Lugou Bridge.

Moreover, the Yongding River is connected to the moat through the Jinkou River. The prepared coal lotus can directly reach the gates of the capital through the water route, so transportation is also very convenient.

"My sir has no choice but to decide here!" Zhao Hao put away his regret and made a decision on the spot.

"Okay. They are all their own places, so there is no hurry to handle the procedures, and today I will be here for the young master." Ji Sizheng said, and asked for help again:

"As soon as the young master said that our family thought of this place. When someone asked, there were more than 30 million kilograms of coal stored here. If the young master was interested, our family would make them cheaper."

"No need to be cheap." But Zhao Hao smiled faintly and said, "The loose coal in Beijing is 100 kilograms per 100 kilograms, so you can charge it at this price."

After a pause, he smiled at Ji Sizheng with great meaning: "You are helping you to the end. Please ask you to collect coal in the future, and you will be at this price."

It sounds like 30 million jin, which is converted into later weight units, which is only 15,000 tons of coal. It is not enough for 20,000 households to burn for a winter...

"Oh?" Ji Sizheng's heart trembled immediately. He knew that a person like Zhao Hao would not lose his own benefits.

But I didn't expect that Zhao Hao was so generous...

Since Your Highness wants to invest in the coal business, Ji Sizheng, as a prestigious foreign manager, naturally has to do his homework to prepare for consultants.

After several days of bad remedies, he knew that the wholesale price of loose coal in the Zhaitang was 70 to 80 cents per 100 kilograms. When transported to the capital for sale, it could increase to 100 cents.

Although the Lugou Bridge is less than twenty miles away from the capital, it can flow downstream from the dining hall directly on the Yongding River, so every 100 kilograms of loose coal is only at most ninety cents.

Zhao Hao offered him a hundred cents, and the difference of ten cents was naturally a benefit to Ji Sizheng.

Don’t look at the fact that ten cents are not much, but 30 million jin is only 300,000 ten cents, which is a total of 3,000 taels of silver!

The eldest princess is so smart. Ji Sizheng worked hard in a year, and only made tens of thousands of taels of silver. This time it exceeded his income for a quarter...

Even if Zhao Hao no longer buys coal in the future, this money will be a fortune for Ji Sizheng.

"Young Master, there are too many..." After all, he is a mature and polite person, and he is a little worried about Zhao Hao, whether he is a second-hand man like the little lord.

"It's okay, there are many places to lean on the adults in the future." Zhao Hao smiled indifferently, and then said seriously:

"My only requirement is that, adults must deliver it on time, quality and quantity, in order to avoid delaying the construction period, I have to find another way."

"Don't worry, young master!" Ji Sizheng patted his chest and said, "I missed my business and I spit out all the food I had eaten."

As he said that, he responded to Qiongju and said, "There is also a big truck that the young master transports coal to the capital. I will also pack all of it for you, just as an opening gift for the young master!"

Large-board trucks are simple to manufacture and very cheap, even a thousand vehicles are not worth a thousand taels.

But Zhao Hao needed too much, and he couldn't buy so much even if he had money. He just wanted to find a carpenter to fight, but he couldn't do it in a month.

Only Ji Sizheng, who is the chief manager of the imperial shops under his command, can gather a thousand cars for him within a few days.

"That's really a matter of my urgent need." Zhao Hao said happily after hearing this: "I really rely on a lot of adults."

"Young Master is so serious, just be able to help." Ji Sizheng also smiled.

Both of them felt their friendship and took another step forward.

~~

The two of them walked around the yard, and Ji Sizheng said again: "By the way, considering that the young master is not in enough staff, your highness asked our family to pick a hundred loyal and steady servants from the store to give to the young master."

One hundred slaves...

Given to the young master...

To the young master...

Young Master...

Zhao Hao was stunned when he heard this. Mom was too bold, right? Even people were given hundreds of gifts...

Although he cannot accept population transactions, how should he calculate if he gives it to him?

"There won't be a shortage of staff in the store, right?"

"Our family didn't lie on New Year's Day. The store was really crowded. I wish someone could help share the burden." Ji Sizheng tightened Diao Qiu's collar and smiled: "But one hundred young masters are all skillful men I have carefully selected, and none of them fooled things."

‘Forget it, let’s keep it for now, you can’t let my mother down…’ A filial son thought without principles, and then smiled gratefully and said, “It’s really my luck to be able to make friends with adults.”

"It's even more of our family's honor." Ji Sizheng smiled humbly, and then ordered the eunuch who was following him to call someone.

In a short while, about a hundred men wearing sky-blue silk cotton jackets and various winter hats entered the yard one after another.

As soon as they saw Ji Sizheng, they hurriedly trotted forward and spoke New Year's greetings from afar.

"I've seen it all, this is our noble's treasure godson, your new master, Mr. Zhao!" Ji Sizheng shouted at those people with a stern face.

Upon hearing this, a hundred people knelt in front of Zhao Hao and said loudly:

"The villain greets the master and asks the master to speak!"

He is worthy of being a slave of the royal family. He is so imposing... he almost broke the eardrums of Mr. Zhao.

"I'll call you young master in the future." Zhao Hao endured the buzzing tinnitus and corrected their names.

You rough guys are worthy of calling this young master "master"? It's so disgusting...

"Yes, young master!" One hundred people said in unison again.

"Get up."

"Thank you!"

After the slaves stood up, Ji Sizheng admonished them again, saying that it was a blessing that he had cultivated in his previous life; if anyone did not cherish it, don’t blame yourself for being rude.

Although the servants only think this is a cliché, they still show their honor and happiness in a proper way.

Then Zhao Hao announced three temporary disciplines to them - no abuse of workers, no deduction of wages, no scattered money!

Anyone who dares to violate one thing will immediately return it to Ji Sizheng.

Ji Sizheng also nodded in cooperation with her head, revealing a sinister look and said, "Young master will return one, and we will kill one! Return one pair, and kill one pair! Do you understand?"

"I understand!" The servants' backs were chilling after a while. Ji Si was cruel and ruthless, but it was well known.

He said that if he wanted to kill someone, that person would definitely not live long...

Ji Sizheng would neither tell Zhao Hao nor tell them that the eldest princess actually had the intention of changing the cage and replacing the birds in this move, and was preparing for a new start in the future.

How can we allow these young and powerful guys to become decadent at will?
