Chapter 208 Representatives from all over the world are crazy!
Almost all cook with fire, all relying on charcoal.
Going up the mountain to collect firewood is almost the daily routine of all the low-level people in their childhood.
Now suddenly it is said that there is something that can replace charcoal, and it is better than charcoal, which is a little hard to believe.
Zhang Han and Meng Huo were also afraid of overturning the car.
Representatives from all over the world, businessmen from various countries, Tan Dian Feng An and others, all stared closely.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Everyone saw that the two pots of fire were burning very vigorously.
But there are also some differences.
The flames in the pot of coal are not only yellow-red, but also have some blue flames.
Many people have never seen the blue flame.
Because the combustion temperature of charcoal often does not reach this level.
Some people are quite knowledgeable, they have seen fires, and they have seen blue flames at the scene of fires.
Knowing that it is a flame that will only be produced when the temperature is extremely high.
Immediately, someone was slightly surprised.
"The fire of this coal is really strong. If it burns, it won't burn the bottom of the pot!"
Immediately someone laughed at him.
"You are so stupid, you are afraid that the bottom of the pot will burn through, so you just need to use less coal."
When this was said, someone noticed it immediately.
This coal can be used for less than charcoal.
If the price of coal and charcoal are the same, burning coal will be much cheaper.
Everyone was still staring at the two braziers.
The fact that the coal temperature is higher has made everyone a lot more excited.
Zhang Han and Meng Huo also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the coal that the Lord wants to promote is indeed extraordinary.
At least I won't roll over.
Time passed again.
Finally, half an hour passed.
Everyone found that the firepower of the charcoal was getting weaker and weaker.
Obviously, the charcoal was about to go out.
However, the firepower of coal is still strong. Although there is some tendency to decline, it is still very hot.
Seeing this moment, how can everyone not understand.
As far as the coal is burning, it is completely explosive charcoal!
Thinking of this, someone immediately asked:
"May I ask General Zhang, since the general wants to promote coal, how much is this coal worth? Can we afford it?"
This question is on the minds of most people.
This coal is good, but the price is the key. If the price is too expensive, no matter how good it is, it is useless if the big guys can't afford it.
Zhang Han smiled.
"Everyone, you can rest assured that the current price of charcoal is [-] Wen per thousand catties, while we sell coal for only [-] Wen per thousand catties!"
A thousand catties only cost one hundred Wen!
Hearing Zhang Han's words, everyone present was shocked, and then became excited!
What is this concept?
Firewood is chopped from the mountains and transported to the village for sale. This kind of firewood costs two hundred cash per thousand catties.
But this coal only costs half the price!
The cost of living is cut in half!
This is not to mention that coal has a higher combustion value, which means that it has stronger firepower, can burn longer, and consumes less fuel.
With all these advantages added together, burning coal is much, much cheaper than burning wood!
Although there are merchants and representatives from various countries on the square, the standard of living must be above the local average, but in ancient times, everyone was ordinary people. Even if you have a little money, you often can't even afford hot water.
Yes.
At this time, even plain water is a luxury!
Because fuel is so precious!
All kinds of things that can be burned, such as thatch, shrub branches, leaves, these things that are not valued at all in later generations, in this era, they are all good things to loot.
This thing can save a family's life in winter!
What's more, they even want to grab cow dung!
Because the cow dung can be burned if it is dried in the sun!
Everyone wakes up every day with only two things in mind.
What to eat in the pot, what to burn under the pot.
Without any one of them, life is impossible.
The news of Zhang Han spread, how could the people in these squares not be excited?
Zhang Han looked at this group of excited representatives and businessmen from all over the world. As an ancient man, Zhang Han naturally understood why this group of people were excited.
In fact, it is not only these ordinary people who are excited.
As a general, Zhang Han himself is very aware of the value of this coal.
Because of marching and fighting, it is often necessary to light a fire and cook.
Fire is very important at all times.
This is much more convenient to carry than charcoal, small in size, does not take up space, and has a high fuel value.
It can be said to be a sharp weapon for marching and fighting!
Not to mention the other functions of this coal, the protagonist Li Hao said that the function of this coal is far from being fully developed.
Just talking about the role of this coal in lighting a fire, the value is so great that it has no limit!
Many representatives from various places could no longer hold back, and they asked one after another:
"General Zhang, when can you sell this coal to us?"
“We want to pre-order a batch!”
"My tribe is willing to send out workers to help you dig coal mines, General Zhang. Our workers are all free, as long as you, General Zhang, are willing to share some of the coal mines dug with us!"
Representatives everywhere are crazy!
Such high-quality and easy-to-use fuel, even a fool can realize its value!
Because a fool also knows that winter will be cold, and he also knows that if he does not light a fire, he will die!
These representatives were so enthusiastic that even Meng Huo hurriedly ordered the soldiers to pay attention to maintaining order, for fear that these representatives from various places would surround and swallow Zhang Han.
Zhang Han pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
Then said:
"Don't worry, our lord General Li Hao, since he ordered me to show it to you, and wants to sell this coal to you, then we will definitely sell this coal to you!"
"We are planning to mine coal in all areas of south of the Five Ridges. All tribes must contribute. The coal mines dug out will be divided equally with you. How about it?"
This group of representatives from all over the world was very satisfied.
In this way, they will have cheap and easy-to-use fuel to use in the future.
Who doesn't think this is a great thing.
For Zhang Han, this is also a long-term big deal.
Why did salt and iron specialize in ancient times? Iron was afraid that the common people would rebel.
Salt is a poll tax.
You can hide and not pay the poll tax, but you can't live without salt.
So is the coal.
You can hide and not pay taxes, but you have to start a fire.
This is equivalent to a tax, and it is stable for a long time, and it is a continuous source of finance.
In addition, even the manpower and material resources are provided by the major tribes, Zhang Han only needs to provide technology, and he can get half of it.
This deal is really lucrative!
Zhang Han couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The protagonist Li Hao is really a genius.
With just one technology, a lot of wealth can be mastered in one leap.
What's more, this coal is also a spell to control these tribes.
If these tribes are disobedient, the supply of coal to them will be reduced.
These tribes are fine in the summer, and they can scrape together some firewood to get by.
In winter, when these tribes were shivering with the cold, they had to surrender to Zhang Hanmenghuo and the others because they were unwilling.
The method of coal, so far, has foreseen great gains.
at this time.
After the businessmen from various countries discussed with each other, someone boldly stepped forward and said:
"General Zhang, we businessmen have discussed it, and we will ask on behalf of our lord, can you sell this coal to others? We also want to buy it."
