Chapter 114 The woodcutter makes trouble (1)
Soon, many people came to inquire about the continued procurement of honeycomb coal, because honeycomb coal is indeed much more advanced than firewood. It is clean and hygienic and has a higher heat and burned longer, which is much better than firewood. The price of this honeycomb coal is also very low, and you can get one piece as long as a copper plate. The same copper plate is probably not as much as a hot wood as a hot wood coal. As for why the cost of honeycomb coal can be reduced to one piece of copper plate, which is the 40 cents of later generations, this is actually mainly a problem of raw material cost. Because there was no problem with coal mine property rights in this era, you can dig coal as long as you need it. In Shuo County, there was a large coal mine, and the coal seam was very shallow, so you could dig at any time. As long as the government organized it, it was free.
Therefore, everything is mainly labor costs. There was no automated machinery in ancient times, so labor costs were relatively high, which caused each piece of honeycomb coal to cost three quarters of copper. Chen Fei only earned one quarter of copper in this honeycomb coal, which means that every honeycomb coal earned a dime. However, the cost of these honeycomb coal is still lower than that of firewood, and it is convenient to clean the lives, which naturally attracted the popularity of the people.
But at the same time, the firewood was in trouble. Everyone regretted why they had stored so much firewood before the winter, but now the firewood was smashed into their hands. Everyone wanted to sell the firewood and exchange it for honeycomb coal. But everyone thought so, causing the price of firewood to plummet and suddenly became worthless.
"Dear brothers, firewood is worthless now. We worked hard to chop firewood, but in the end we could not exchange for a meal. It's really unreasonable!" said a woodcutter.
Another woodcutter also said: "Yes! Now everyone has sold all the firewood. The firewood we earned from going up the mountain to chop wood is less than half of what we have in the past. It has really dropped so much. The firewood we cut down is not enough to make a living."
"Originally, we were the best time to sell firewood in winter, but now everyone is waiting for the honeycomb coal made by the government. Even if we would rather wait for the honeycomb coal than buy our firewood. Even if our firewood is lowered, we can't sell it anymore. We are really hard! I have a wife and several children in my family who are counting on us to chop firewood in exchange for money to support our family. But now that the government has made this honeycomb coal, our life path will be cut off. What should we do in the future!" someone said helplessly.
These woodcutters sighed. Obviously, they could not be optimistic about their future. Because honeycomb coal, this kind of firewood was eliminated overnight. Many people would rather wait for honeycomb coal than continue to use firewood. Firewood has too many disadvantages compared to honeycomb coal, so everyone is unwilling to use it. In this case, the price of firewood has dived straight, and now the price has been reduced to half of the past, but there are still very few people who buy firewood, and there are not many at all. After all, with better things, who is willing to use those backward firewood?
"Dear woodcutter brothers, I am Wei Feng, a poor scholar from Shuo County. I heard that you have a difficult life, so I will take a look!" Wei Feng said.
When everyone saw a gentle and gentle person coming, they stood up immediately to show respect. After all, there were very few scholars in this era and had a relatively high status, so they all took the initiative to respect him.
"Dear woodcutters, you have now lost your life because the price of firewood has been reduced to a very low level. Who caused this? This is the new county magistrate Chen Fei. Chen Fei made this honeycomb coal, which made you live without you and unable to survive. So this was all made by the county magistrate Chen Fei. So you should go to find Chen Fei and let him give you a way to live. Chen Fei claimed to be a public servant of the people, but what they did was really a cruel person to cut off the life of the people. So you must make this big deal so that you can attract the attention of the superiors, and then let the superiors punish Chen Fei and eliminate the popularity of honeycomb coal." Wei Feng said.
Wei Feng attributed all the blame to this honeycomb coal. Because the popularity of honeycomb coal made the people not use this firewood, the price of firewood dived. After the price of firewood dived, those woodcutters who made a living by chopping wood naturally had no way to survive and could not support their families. Therefore, these should be attributed to Chen Fei, the person who invented honeycomb coal, so Chen Fei was also a vicious person who cut off the lives of the people. If it weren't for Chen Fei, these woodcutters could survive by chopping wood and could sell firewood at a good price in winter. But now Chen Fei invented this honeycomb coal, which not only prevented the woodcutter from making money in winter, but also could not sell firewood, making them unable to support their families.
These were all forced by Chen Fei, and Wei Feng made a summary. That is, Chen Fei is the culprit of cutting off everyone's life, so everything is Chen Fei's responsibility. These woodcutters should make things bigger and then win the attention of the superior government, so that the superior will exempt Chen Fei from his position. As long as Chen Fei's position is removed and the government above ordered the use, production and popularity of honeycomb coal was prohibited, the woodcutter could still gain wealth in life by chopping wood in the past, and the woodcutter could continue to support his family by relying on the ancient profession of chopping wood, and the woodcutter could pass on the profession of woodcutting for generations.
These woodcutters were so angry that they were so angry that they were so angry that they were the county magistrate Chen Fei. If it weren't for Chen Fei, how could they have cut off firewood for many days and be worthless from now on. If it weren't for Chen Fei, how could the woodcutter profession they had done for generations, how could they face the situation of cutting off their income? If it weren't for Chen Fei, then they should have sold firewood for a good price in winter now. Therefore, everything was Chen Fei's fault, and it was Chen Fei, a ruthless official, who cut off their source of life.
Therefore, they must make things worse so that more advanced governments can order the production and use of honeycomb coal to stop, and then their firewood can be sold at a good price, so that they can take advantage of this winter to make their families live a better life.
