Chang'an City, and even the entire Guanzhong Road, the steel output of each workshop, Changsun Chong is well aware.

Because of this, the eldest grandson's family dared to hoard Juqi.

"Lang Jun, we also feel strange. The so-called Chu Wangfu iron-making workshop, the subordinates also inquired, and it was built there many years ago, but not a single catty of iron has been produced. ”

Looking at Changsun Chong, who was on the verge of anger, the subordinate who was in charge of inquiring about the news was also trembling, for fear that he would be angered.

"Today alone, there are sixty or seventy thousand catties of steel sent everywhere, these steel, it is absolutely impossible to hoard before, otherwise, there is no need for Guanshishan Academy to come to us last year to beg us to purchase steel bars."

Although Changsun Chong was on the verge of rage, his mind was still clear.

Of course, he also thought of a possibility.

Since Xu Jingzong bought steel bars from his own family, will this already be a game under Li Kuanbu?

Thinking like this, Changsun Chong's face turned pale.

"Hasn't Aya returned home yet?"

At every critical moment, Changsun Chong would think of his father.

"Not yet, but I guess the time, it should be soon."

"You go and see if you can get some samples of the steel shipped out of the Chu Palace, I'll ask for it tonight."

Eldest Sun Chong took a deep breath and felt that his biggest test in all these years was coming.

And just when Changsun Chong was talking to his subordinates, Li Lizhi, the princess of Changle who was standing outside the door, couldn't help but sigh and quietly returned to the room.

Originally, the relationship between Li Lizhen and Li Kuan was not bad.

From time to time, I will go to the Chu Mansion with Li Xueyan and them.

However, since marrying into the eldest grandson's family......

During this time, Li Lizhen has been in a contradiction.

The eldest grandson's family hoarded a large amount of iron and steel, and she knew a little about it.

And the fact that Guanshishan Academy failed to ask the eldest grandson's family to buy steel bars was even more popular among the nobles after that morning.

In addition, some time ago, Li Kuan was tasked by the household department again.

Li Li's quality is more contradictory than ever.

On one side is his second brother, and on the other side is his husband.

It's hard!

……

In the palace of the king of Chu, Wu Meiniang also heard about what happened today.

As soon as Li Kuan came back from outside, she rarely took the initiative to ask to see her.

"Mei Niang, do you have anything to do with this king today?"

Seeing Wu Meiniang, who had been slightly cleared, and then thinking of herself, she seemed to have rarely cared about her movements in the past six months.

Li Kuan showed a look of shame on his face.

"Lord Wang, can't I look for you if I have nothing to do?"

Wu Meiniang replied with a sneer, so that Li Kuan didn't know how to pick it up.

My own princess still has a big belly, it seems that it is really not suitable to have something to do with Wu Meiniang at this moment, right?

"Haha, Mei Niang, you're joking, this king naturally welcomes you to come to me at any time."

Seeing the unnatural smile on Li Kuan's face, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but feel happy in her heart.

"I heard that the iron-making workshop in the palace has produced tens of thousands of catties of stainless steel in one breath today?"

The entire Chang'an City was in an uproar, and Wu Meiniang naturally knew what happened today.

It's really the rise in steel prices, which is hot news in recent months.

"That's right, this king promised the household department to push the price of steel to the level at the beginning of last year within three months, and this has been almost a month, and this king feels that he can make a move."

Li Kuan glanced at Wu Meiniang curiously, but she didn't expect that she was looking for herself today, and she actually talked about this matter.

When it comes to business, she looks for herself every day, and she is not afraid.

Even if Cheng Jingwen was sitting next to her, it would be fine.

"In one day, the prince directly lowered the price of stainless steel to the level at the beginning of last year, which can cause great repercussions, but Mei Niang feels that if this process is changed to a daily price reduction of one percent, until the level of the beginning of last year, this way may make the opponent more uncomfortable."

In the past year, Wu Meiniang has also studied Li Kuan's character in depth, and knows that when talking about business, even if people speak very directly, he will not be angry.

So I didn't beat around the bush, but directly said my own suggestions.

"Drop the price by 10% every day? Would it be better that way? ”

To be honest, Li Kuan was not a business genius in his previous life.

It's just that with more than a thousand years of vision, it has only become popular in Datang.

Now that Wu Meiniang said this, he was a little curious, what is the difference between these two methods.

"Yes. The price of this steel has risen for more than a year, and suddenly, the prince directly lowered the price back to the level at the beginning of the year, which is easy for people with intentions to take this opportunity to buy and hoard.

For example, the eldest grandson family, which was originally an opponent, needless to say, is afraid that it will cause other noble families to follow suit and feel that it is profitable, in this case, even if the prince has more steel, it may not be enough to sell. ”

Wu Meiniang did not know the output of steel in the new ironmaking workshop, and she simply judged the possible consequences of this incident based on the existing experience.

In fact, if Li Kuan's steel inventory is not enough, the possibility of this kind of thing happening is really high.

Even if he is the eldest grandson of Wuji, seeing that the price of steel is so low, according to common sense, it is impossible to drop sharply, on the contrary, it is possible to rebound at any time.

In this way, it is a good way to buy the stainless steel sold in the Chu Palace.

What a good opportunity!

"It's the possibility you said."

Li Kuan quickly figured out Wu Meiniang's concerns, and couldn't help but look up to her a few points.

"And if you use the method of reducing the price by 10% every day, then the message will be different."

Seeing that Li Kuan recognized her point of view, Wu Meiniang smiled and continued: "On the one hand, it is only a drop of one percent, and it is difficult to strengthen the determination of the eldest grandson family to resist, and it is also difficult to attract other noble families to join this game.

On the other hand, for those who purchase steel, they find that the price is falling every day, and they will continue to look forward to it, thinking that it will continue to fall tomorrow, and the demand for steel on the market will become smaller. ”

"The supply has increased, but the demand has temporarily decreased, and the price is falling every day, so the eldest grandson's family is uncomfortable."

Li Kuan couldn't help but continue, this method is indeed better than his own.

It seems that the means are more gentle, but this feeling of cutting meat with a slow knife will definitely make the eldest grandson's family even more uncomfortable.

This is like the stock market in later generations, if there is no limit to the rise and fall, it will fall by half in a day, although the shareholders feel very painful, but after a few days, they will accept it.

On the contrary, if you have a falling limit every day, and you are given more than a dozen boards one after another, what would it be like......

Looking at Wu Meiniang, who had a beautiful face and an excellent figure, Li Kuan couldn't help but sigh.

The queen is the queen, this IQ is properly crushed.

……

Red sleeves add fragrance to night reading.

As night fell, several large whale oil candles had been lit in the lobby.

Li Kuan rarely chatted with Wu Meiniang for most of the hour, but he admired her business talent a little.

The samurai family is a merchant family in Bingzhou, although when Wu Meiniang was born, the samurai Tong was already developed because of his active participation in Li Yuan's Taiyuan army.

However, the family's business has not fallen, and Wu Meiniang has been exposed to a lot of business things since she was a child.

Of course, the most important thing is that she has a different IQ and EQ, otherwise, there are many people who have been exposed to it since childhood, and how many of them have this knowledge?

"Mei Niang, let's do it, I'll tell Xuan Ce, and in the future, you will be responsible for a part of the business affairs in the palace."

Don't use such a good talent, this is not Li Kuan's style.

Besides, Wu Meiniang came to find herself, obviously with the intention of letting Li Kuan see her talent.

"Thank you for your trust."

Wu Meiniang was not polite.

This is a better opportunity to get in touch with Li Kuan.

After nearly half a year of adjustment, she has readjusted to the current situation.

In the position of the princess, she is out of play.

But the side concubine, she can still fight.

"As for the steel thing, you don't have to worry. The amount of steel produced by the ironmaking workshop in the palace is definitely beyond your imagination, whether it is the eldest grandson's family or other noble families, if you want to stock up on a batch of bargains, then let them stock up. Anyway, our steel is open to sell, and anyone can buy it. Well, except for the Hu people. ”

Li Kuan knew that Wu Meiniang was still worried about the matter of stainless steel, and she was afraid that she would not be able to complete the task of the household department.

"If the prince has this confidence, Mei Niang will not worry. Qing'er has been here several times, I guess the princess is waiting for you to eat, so Mei Niang will retire first. ”

Today's goal has been achieved, and Wu Meiniang decisively chose to leave.

Sometimes, dwelling on it is not the best way.

She obviously has a very accurate understanding of these things.

……

In Tonghua Fang, a mansion with an ordinary appearance and a unique cave inside is located in it.

This is the Lai Guo Mansion, the residence of Du Ruhui, who died young.

"Second brother, I don't agree to continue to buy stainless steel."

Du Wei looked at Du He with a pale face.

What happened today, as the Du family, who participated in the hoarding of stainless steel, naturally knew immediately.

Similar to Wu Meiniang's guess, Du He chose to continue to buy the steel released by the Chu Palace.

In his opinion, tens of thousands of catties of stainless steel were produced in one day today, and it was impossible for the Chu Wangfu to have much left.

As long as he and Changsun Chong eat these leftover goods together, how much the steel in Chang'an City sells, it's not up to them to decide?

"Big brother, although the steel in the warehouse was hoarded when it was relatively cheap, it was also fifty percent higher than the level at the beginning of last year. If we don't do anything, we're going to lose tens of thousands of dollars out of thin air. ”

Duhe's eyes were red.

Ever since he heard that the Chu Wangfu was selling steel at the price at the beginning of last year, at first, he looked at it like a joke.

thought that Li Kuan was reckless there.

But when truckloads of steel were pulled away in a steady stream, he began to get anxious.

The household is a traditional consumer of steel, according to today's situation, in a short period of time the household is no longer required to purchase steel.

The Guanshishan Academy is an emerging place for steel consumption, and now it has also taken away 30,000 catties.

This Li Kuan, how much goods did he hoard?

When did the iron-making workshop in the Chu Wangfu start smelting iron?

He didn't know any of this information.

I have to be in a hurry.

"Second brother, I told you a long time ago, I will accept it when I see it. But what about you? ”

People are like this, with hindsight, anyone will be it.

Of course, Du Gou is upright by nature, and he really didn't want to participate in this kind of hoarding at the beginning.

But so what?

As the head of the family, considering the rich benefits, he finally acquiesced to Du He's approach.

"Big brother, there's no point in saying anything now. The top priority is not to let the Chu Wangfu mess around anymore, otherwise the stainless steel in our warehouse will really be smashed in our hands. ”

Du He was angry and anxious.

If you mess up this time, you won't have to think about any status in Du Mansion.

Even Chang'an City will circulate its own jokes.

"No, I still can't agree to hoard the steel shipped by the Chu Palace, it's hard not to let His Royal Highness the King of Chu know about this, when people come to His Majesty to join us, do you think you can stand it, or can I stand it?"

Du Wei's mind is quite clear.

Originally, what I did was a bit shady, and if I didn't restrain myself, I might end up with something.

As for the loss, after all, the steel is in the warehouse, even if the price falls some, at most it is a loss of some money, and the Du family is still at a loss.

And if the reputation is damaged, even if His Majesty does not care about the sake of the late father this time, the loss will be infinite.

"Big brother, the eldest grandson family is not afraid, what are we afraid of?"

Du He stomped his feet, complaining a little about why his eldest brother was so timid.

"The eldest grandson's family? Can our house be compared with the eldest grandson's family? ”

Du Gou's words directly put Du Heyi speechless.

……

Kim Tai hit the iron shop.

"Master, two shops selling iron materials have just come to me and asked if we still want iron materials. Can the price be reduced by 10% compared to the previous question? ”

In a burst of "jingle bells", Ah Niu came to Jintai's side.

Regardless of the era, the merchants' sense of smell is the keenest.

In fact, in other words, everyone is the most sensitive to things related to their own vital interests, and if you understand it this way, many things will make more sense.

"Humph! Reduced by 10%? ”

Mrs. Jin sneered, why did these businessmen go earlier?

"You tell him, does he think he's stupid, or does he think I'm stupid?"

Yesterday, I pulled 10,000 catties of stainless steel from the ironmaking workshop of the Chu Wangfu in one go, and the price was really only at the level of the beginning of last year, and Jin Tai finally slept peacefully.

Now, the businessman who used to ask for money everywhere but couldn't find it actually took the initiative to come to the door and lowered the price.

Hehe!

It's late!

"Master, I also think they are too insincere. Just listening to their tone, the steel of the Chu Wangfu couldn't support the appearance of selling for a few days, so the disciple didn't turn his face with them. ”

Ah Niu had suffered a lot before, and when he saw those merchants, his momentum was naturally weaker.

"Don't pay attention to him, the shopkeeper has already told me. No matter how much steel we need in our shop, we can go to him, and he will sell as much as we buy. ”

Wang Fugui's words are where Mrs. Jin's real confidence lies.

……

The weather in Chang'an City is getting hotter and hotter.

Knowing that he was desperately shouting on the willow tree, everyone saw what it means to have a small body and a big voice.

Eldest Sun Chong stood in front of Eldest Sun Wuji with a blank face.

"The government has already purchased 30,000 catties of steel from the Chu Palace?"

"Yes, there are some other people in the market who are buying, but no matter how many people buy, the steel seems to be still sold."

In the past few days, Changsun Chong's mood is very complicated.

When I first heard that the Chu Wangfu was shipping at a low price, I had an attitude of watching the excitement, and I felt that it was meaningless for Li Kuan to do this.

When the number of shipments from the Chu Wangfu suddenly reached tens of thousands of catties, he immediately panicked again.

After slowing down, he felt that he could join forces with a group of people to collect the goods from the Chu Wangfu and continue to control the price of steel in Chang'an City, and his mood changed again.

However, when he found that no matter how he bought it, the steel of the Chu Wangfu was still flowing to the market, he panicked again.

This Li Kuan, how much goods did he hoard?

In the iron-making workshop of the Chu Palace, I heard that more people came and went this year, and it was very deserted in the past.

Even if he has been stockpiling goods since the beginning of this year, he can't stock up much.

Changsun Chong felt that he couldn't figure it out.

"Starting tomorrow, stop the acquisition. And as soon as possible, the iron and steel in the warehouse will be transferred to Luoyang and other places, and sold on the spot, even if the price drops slightly. ”

"Huh? Ayer, in this case, we may not be able to make much money, right? ”

Changsun Chong didn't understand why his Aye's attitude suddenly changed.

"Making money?"

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at his son and sighed in his heart.

"At this time, you still want to make money? It's good to be able to not lose money. ”

"Huh? Could it be that Li Kuan really has a lot of stainless steel in his hands? ”

"Whether he still has a lot of steel in his hands, my father doesn't know. But I know that the Chu Wangfu can continuously produce a large number of steel, and this speed is obviously faster than we imagined. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji obviously has his own news channel, and he heard a little news.

Actually, this is also normal.

As a family in the ascending period, the eldest grandson family has its own protégés in various yamen in Chang'an City.

Even the bad people in Chang'an County have a close relationship with the eldest grandson's family.

With the help of these people, it is not difficult to inquire about some news.

Of course, it was only to find out that the ironmaking workshop of the Chu Wangfu had the means to produce stainless steel in large quantities.

As for how it is produced, it is not so easy to know.

Otherwise, the guards of the Chu Palace's palace are all eating dry rice?

"Aye, if this is the case, the price of stainless steel in Luoyang will also drop soon."

"So we have to move quickly, and before some people can react, we sell all the iron and steel on our hands. Especially for steel, the price has fallen too fast, even if it is a loss, it must be thrown away. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is not stupid at all, on the contrary, he is very smart.

When it is broken, it is broken, and when you see that you can't do anything, you immediately start cutting meat.

……

Guangta Wharf is the largest wharf in Guangzhou, and Guangzhou Boshi is located next to the wharf.

Early this morning, Dongfang Ping came to the dock to see off Wei Chihuan and Fang Yiai.

After the beginning of spring, Yu Chihuan left Chang'an City, and when he arrived in Dengzhou, Cheng Chumo led the fleet to the Wa Kingdom, and Yu Chihuan and Fang Yiai went south.

The fleet went all the way south, except for the occasional shore to replenish fresh water and food, it did not stop, and finally arrived at Guangzhou City a while ago.

Dongfang Ping, who went south a few years ago, responded with Wei Chihuan and his entourage, but they saved a lot of heart.

"Brother Wei Chi, this trip to the south, be sure to pay attention to safety, if you can't do anything, turn back in time."

Although Dongfang Ping coveted the spices transported by the Persian maritime merchants, and heard Li Kuan say that there were spice islands in the South Seas, he had also heard of the complicated sea conditions in the South Seas.

Although the new clipper boat piloted by Wei Chihuan and others at the East China Sea Fishery Shipbuilding Workshop was newly launched, the risk is still very high.

In the face of a hurricane, there is not necessarily any difference between a larger ship and a smaller one.

"Don't worry, the prince has given me a detailed chart, and this time, I will definitely find the spice island. Just wait for us to return triumphantly. ”

Today's Yu Chihuan is completely in love with the sea.

For the unknown route, he is not only not afraid, but full of excitement to challenge the unknown.

If you can really find Spice Island, you can be famous for eternity, right?

Wei Chihuan is not afraid, and Fang Yiai, who has always lacked roots in his brain, is even less worried.

On the contrary, it was Tuesday Fu who followed, with a slight worry on his face.

……

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Shimin listened to Li Zhong with an expressionless face as he reported what happened in Chang'an City during this time.

"Is it true that the price of steel has maintained the price level at the beginning of last year for five consecutive days?"

"That's right, in Chang'an City, anyone who wants to buy stainless steel can buy enough steel at this price."

As the top priority during this time, Li Zhong naturally spent a lot of energy to understand.

"How did Kuan'er do it?"

"The iron-making workshop in the Chu Palace's Mansion is heavily guarded, and the Hundred Cavalry Division has tried several times but has not slipped in. Although it is not known how these steels are produced, it is certain that these steels are produced there. ”

Li Zhong lowered his head a little ashamedly.

This time, the Hundred Cavalry Division wanted to sneak in at night, but no one expected that an iron-making workshop in the Chu Wang's Mansion was so tightly guarded, and the Hundred Cavalry Division, who had experienced a hundred battles, was actually arrested by others.

Fortunately, after revealing his identity, the other party did not embarrass himself.

However, this face is a big loss.

"Who are the people involved in the steel hoarding this time?"

Li Shimin ignored Li Zhong's shame, Li Kuan was always able to surprise people every once in a while, and his receptivity had become very strong.

"Forehead ......"

Li Zhong hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"Let's be honest, I'm not that vulnerable."

Li Shimin said so, where did Li Zhong dare to hide anything?

"Your Majesty, the princes of Zhao and Laiguo are all involved, and the children of the Li clan of Zhao County and the Cui clan of Boling are also involved, and some merchants from the east and west cities of Chang'an City are also involved."

Li Zhong said while looking at Li Shimin's face.

"Is Mowgli really still involved?"

Li Shimin doesn't really care about other people's situations.

But the eldest grandson Wuji was involved, which made him a little disappointed.

To put it mildly, the eldest grandson Wuji is Li Shimin's most trusted minister, and in history, he is Li Shimin's trusted minister.

Although the trust relationship between the two will not collapse because of this incident, Li Shimin's heart is at least a little more pimple.

Perhaps this is the biggest loss of the eldest grandson's family in this incident.
