Datang: Beat Tang Taizong violently at the beginning

Chapter 290 On the Ancient Sales Art!
"Yes, it is indeed just a pile of black stones. You see, these black stones are so fragile that they cannot be used as building materials or other purposes at all. They will shatter when touched!"

Someone pointed to a mule cart that was dumping coal, and saw that the moment the black stones on the mule cart fell down, they were broken into many small stones at the same time as they collided with other black stones!

With such a texture and hardness, let alone what kind of building materials it is used for, I am afraid that it is not even used for paving!

It's just that the more this happened, the more curious the people of Chang'an became, and more and more people came to watch.
Hundreds of mule carts brought these black stones, and piled them randomly under the city wall of Baqiao, what is the purpose?And why?
Seeing more and more people from Chang'an gathered to watch, Er Gouzi cleared his throat immediately, and carefully recalled the words His Royal Highness Yan Wang gave him, and then stood in front of this pile of black stones, and looked at the flow of people in front of him. Rolling Chang'an people,
Er Gouzi couldn't help being stunned, there were many people, but thinking of the generous reward His Highness King Yan had promised him, Er Gouzi closed his eyes and let go of his mouth, and a specious Qin opera hawking sound resounded in Baqiao City in front of the door!

"Do not miss passing through!"

"If you don't buy it today, you will regret it tomorrow...!"

"Jump off a building and vomit blood for a big sale, a big sale for losing money and kidneys!"

……

Not to mention that the voices of these two dogs are really good, amidst this specious hawking of Qin opera, more and more Chang'an people came to watch!
There are more and more people who are curious about these black stones. Among the crowd, someone suddenly asked loudly: "Hey, I said, this is another big sale of vomiting blood, and it is also a big sale for kidney deficiency. Are you going to sell it? what?"

Seeing that the crowd had almost gathered, Er Gouzi changed his tone again, and said like an allegro:
"This guest officer asked a good question. I want to ask what we sell today.
Please look at this black stone first, this black stone is not bad,
Better than firewood and better than carbon, just a little burnt and long-lasting!
Lighting a fire and cooking depends on it. What is the name of this black stone?

The king of Yan bestowed the name on charcoal!Large quantity and high quality and cheap!
Only one copper plate per catty!Only one copper plate per catty! "

Such an ingenious, yet interesting sales method suddenly aroused strong repercussions from the people of Chang'an.

"Brother, are you kidding me? You, a black stone, can make fire and cook!"

"That's right, stones can make fire and cook, it's an anecdote from ancient times!"

However, although Er Gouzi's advertisement was well placed, these Chang'an people were also not easy to provoke. After all, it was the first time they saw this black stone lit a fire!

"Fathers and folks, don't worry, we are not bluffing by buying and selling him!

Can you make a fire? Look here, seeing is believing! "

Er Gouzi finished his two fast words again, but someone beside him had already ignited a pile of charcoal fire with firewood, and then the Er Gouzi took a few black stones and threw them into the fire!

It was only for a moment, and the black stone thrown into the fire was actually ignited!

Bit by bit of red covered the black stones like a sunset glow, and after a while, all the black stones that Er Gouzi threw into the fire were all ignited!
At this time, the firewood had already been burned out, but these black stones were burning red one by one, and the redness was a bit dazzling!
Such a miraculous scene immediately made these Changan people feel a little unimaginable, even appalling. Under the eyes of everyone, these black stones were actually ignited. Is this a trick?
"My thief, this is impossible, how could the stone burn?"

Many people in Chang'an couldn't help popping out colloquial words immediately. It was really hard for them to believe and accept the scene in front of them.
These black stones were not only ignited, but also burned very well. The most important thing is that the more they burn, the redder they become, so red that people can't move their eyes away!
"This doesn't seem to be a stone. Just now the big brother said that this black stone seems to be called a charcoal, and it was named by His Royal Highness Yan Wang!"

But some people also realized that the first stanza sung by Er Gouzi seemed to have indeed said these two sentences!
"His Royal Highness King Yan..."

You said that the people of Chang'an couldn't help but look at each other when they heard these two words. The frequency of the word "Yan Wang" being mentioned in Chang'an City today can be said to be quite high.

Although His Royal Highness King Yan has only been famous in Chang'an City for less than a month, there are too many legends about His Royal Highness Yan!

As for a recent rumor, His Royal Highness the King of Yan has received the inheritance of the Immortal Art from the Thunder God and the Lightning Mother, and has a thunder weapon!
This kind of thunder weapon kills people invisible, and destroys people like shards. The thunder roars, and it is extremely powerful!

"Isn't this black stone the divine power that His Highness King Yan asked Vulcan to borrow?"

Those people in Chang'an who have studied the theory of ghosts and gods a lot, suddenly became a little suspicious!

As we all know, it is absolutely impossible for stones to burn. There is no doubt about this, but now that these black stones have indeed been ignited in full view, this is also an indisputable fact!
But some people's focus is not on this, but on the most important issue of this black stone.

"Little brother, you just said that these black stones cost a penny and a catty, right?"

Someone asked immediately, but his eyes were shining. The most important firewood and charcoal in Chang'an City are firewood and charcoal, but charcoal is more than firewood, and the price of charcoal is two yuan a catty.
If these black stones can really be sold for a penny a catty, and can have the same effect as charcoal, wouldn't this save a lot of expenses?
"Yes, this black stone was mined by His Royal Highness King Yan in Daqing Mountain. It is safe and reliable. Its burning time and quality are no worse than charcoal, and the most important thing is that it is cheap. It costs a penny and a copper plate. Tongsou No bullying, first come, first served!"

Er Gouzi is not singing that specious Qin Opera or Allegro script this time!
But no one cares about this anymore!

Er Gouzi's words immediately ignited the buying enthusiasm and desire of these Chang'an people,

Charcoal for two pennies per catty and coal for one penny per catty have the same burning effect. As a qualified Chang'an person, a fool would know which one to choose!

"Boss, I want one hundred catties!"

"How can a hundred catties be enough, give me three hundred catties first!"

"Three hundred catties is a ball, give me a thousand catties!"

At this moment, the Baqiao City Gate was completely set on fire, and the desire and enthusiasm of the people of Chang'an to buy directly overwhelmed the Baqiao City Gate!
