Who is Yang Benman?

All the people in the court know it.

Although he used to stare at His Royal Highness the King of Chu and bite, it made people doubt the credibility of his impeachment.

However, today's scene is indeed a bit unexpected by everyone.

Is this time he is starting to shift his target?

"Datang's workshops that can make iron and steel are not only the eldest grandson's family, this demand is up, and the goods are not enough, which is the reason for the price increase. As for hoarding? Hum! Ridiculous, ridiculous! ”

Naturally, the eldest grandson Wuji will not take this pot, otherwise, this reputation will be ruined.

Although this is what the nobles of the family have been doing, it is okay to do it secretly, but it is not okay to put it on the table.

"Then why don't you say that the iron and steel in the treasury of the eldest grandson's family are taken out and sold? It's not hoarding, what is it? ”

Yang Benman obviously did a little bit of effort, whether it was really the evidence or the results of speculation, anyway, the eldest grandson Wuji did not dare to directly deny that there was a large amount of iron and steel in his warehouse.

"Yang Yushi, since you know that there are some iron and steel in the warehouse of the eldest grandson's family, you should know that these iron and steel are to be prepared for delivery to others. The reason why it has been in the warehouse all this time is because there is not enough goods and it is being raised. ”

Fortunately, the goods of Guanshishan Academy were not delivered a few years ago, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome this time.

The eldest grandson Wuji secretly rejoiced.

Of course, if something really goes wrong, he can completely blame the matter on his subordinates, and he is blinded.

It's not that he doesn't understand this routine.

However, if you can avoid this path, it is better not to take it.

After all, if you say that, it will confirm the matter of the eldest grandson's hoarding of Juqi, and it will be with Your Majesty......

"Ready to be delivered? Delivered to whom? Could it be that the left hand is handed over to the right hand? ”

Yang Benman felt that the eldest grandson Wuji had exhausted his donkey skills, and he could even find such an excuse.

"Hmph, who to deliver, I was not obligated to tell you. However, it doesn't hurt to tell you that you don't think I'm weak-hearted. The eldest grandson Wuji snorted coldly, "These goods are all prepared for Guanshishan Academy, they originally wanted it a year ago, but ...... You know, in a moment and a half, where did you get so much steel? ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji said this, many people basically believed it.

Although the eldest grandson's family and the Chu Wangfu don't seem to deal with each other, the Guanshishan Academy has to purchase a large amount of stainless steel, and it is not possible to find the workshop of the eldest grandson's family.

Besides, between the nobles of the family, there are some dirty and quarrels with each other, which is normal in the eyes of many people.

This does not prevent everyone from working together when needed.

After all, children are right and wrong, and adults only look at the pros and cons.

However, Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yanjin, who knew Li Kuan well, showed puzzled expressions.

Guanshishan Academy asked the eldest grandson's family to purchase fine steel a year ago, but it has not received the goods until now.

With Li Kuan's virtue, will he just keep silent?

It's clear that the eldest grandson's family is pinching his neck.

As for whether Guanshishan Academy really found someone to buy stainless steel, they didn't doubt this.

Just like many people think, looking at Chang'an City, if you want to buy a lot of steel, if you don't look for the eldest grandson's family, who are you looking for?

It is said that during the construction of the Gewu Building, the tallest building of Guanshishan Academy, a large number of steel bars were used, so it is not surprising that it continues to be procured now.

"For Guanshishan Academy?"

If you want to say that Yang Benman knows more about which nobles in Chang'an City, Li Kuan can definitely rank among the top few.

Therefore, he is naturally clear about the fact that the eldest grandson's family does not deal with the Chu Wangfu.

Even if what the eldest grandson Wuji said was true, then even he could see that the eldest grandson's family was deliberately stumbling on the construction of the Guanshishan Academy, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu would not be able to see it?

Thinking about it like this, Yang Benman was a little more skeptical of the eldest grandson Wuji's explanation.

"yes, what, you don't believe me?"

At this point, the momentum of the eldest grandson Wuji has returned.

"Humph! It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, since Zhao Guogong said that it was prepared for Guanshishan Academy, then I will apply a motto of Guanshishan Academy: Facts speak louder than words. ”

At this point, although Yang Benman was unwilling, he really didn't know how to continue to fight for a while.

Even if you want to continue the impeachment, you have to wait for yourself to get further information, otherwise, there will definitely be no results.

Seeing that Yang Benman had died down, the eldest grandson Wuji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the steel hoarded during this period of time can't be sold on the market casually, otherwise, Yang Benman will definitely bite himself again.

However, today's Datang, iron and steel, are like hard currency, and if they are not sold for a short time, it is nothing.

The eldest grandson's family has a big business, and it will not lead to a shortage of money because of these goods.

Maybe, after a while, the price of steel will be higher, and I can make more money.

"Your Majesty, this matter of Yang Yushi's impeachment, Zhao Guogong has already explained it clearly. However, the sharp rise in the price of iron and steel is objective, and it has indeed had some impact on Datang. Take this opportunity to discuss how to reduce their prices. ”

Fang Xuanling, as the left servant of Shangshu, is naturally very clear about the dirt between the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households.

It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong.

It can even be said that no one is at fault.

However, as the boss of Shangshu Province, the following departments are making trouble, how to solve this matter is a problem that must be considered at the moment.

Besides, the high prices of iron and steel are not a good thing.

After all, many of the farming tools of farmers need iron.

"What the minister said is, Your Majesty, it is imperative to discuss how to reduce the price of iron and steel."

Wen Yanbo also stood up to support Fang Xuanling's view.

In the entire early dynasty, Li Shimin, who only said one word, was also relieved to see that the situation had finally returned to normal.

It seems that the eldest grandson's family still knows the general situation.

"In fact, as long as the use of steel is prohibited to make houses, the steel ordered by Guanshishan Academy can be put on the market to stabilize prices, and there will be less predictable demand in the future, and the price of steel will naturally not continue to rise."

Lu Kuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had not spoken, also stood up and made this suggestion.

However, many people understand what he has in mind.

"Nonsense, since then, the price of food has risen, are you saying that everyone is not allowed to eat three meals a day, so that the demand will be less? The price of salt has risen, is it not allowed for everyone to cook with more salt? ”

Cheng Yanjin endured it all the time and didn't speak, but now when he saw Lu Kuan jumping out and coming up with a bad idea, the target was obviously aimed at his son-in-law, so he was immediately unhappy.

When it comes to protecting the short, Cheng Biting Jin dares to say second, and few people dare to say first.

If you don't care about it, I'll spray you first, and if you don't agree with each other, maybe you'll start drying!

Cheng Yanjin's consistent performance in the court is very clear to everyone.

Lu Kuan originally wanted to pit Li Kuan, but when he saw that he actually attracted Cheng Yanjin, he immediately looked like I didn't say anything.

I don't care about you rude warriors!

"It's not a way to ban it, the swords used by the soldiers are also made of stainless steel, is it possible to let everyone not use swords?"

The relationship between the Wei Chi family and the Cheng family and the Chu Wangfu is not ordinary, so naturally they have to stand up and show their support.

Even Li Jing and Qin Qiong, who have never been vocal in the court, also expressed their disagreement with Lu Kuan's opinion.

"Your Majesty, the decline in the price of iron, in the final analysis, is still to increase production. As long as there are more sold in the market, the price will naturally fall, and the top priority should be to consider how to increase the production of iron. ”

As the head of the household, Dai Xuan still has his own views on the changes in the price of goods.

Everyone naturally understands this truth. But where is it so easy to smelt iron ore into iron? And making iron into steel is even more time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is unrealistic to expect a significant increase in production in a short period of time. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Dai Guan, looking like it was not my eldest grandson's workshop that did not support the increase in production, and it was really powerless.

Fang Xuanling: "Dai Shangshu, I remember that there is an iron mine in the south of Chang'an City, which belongs to the Ministry of Households, right?" ”

"Yes, that's true. The stewards of the Zhao Mansion and the people of the Chu Palace's Mansion have proposed to buy this mine several times, but I have never agreed. ”

Dai Xuan actually had the idea of letting the imperial court mine iron ore and make iron and steel by itself, but the relationship was too big, and the interests involved behind it were too complicated, so he didn't dare to put it forward rashly.

"The Chu Wangfu also offered to buy this iron mine?"

Yan Lide's heart moved, and he felt that the matter of lowering the price of iron materials might really have the possibility of success.

And Li Shimin, who was in the throne, also frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

"That's right, the two of them proposed it many years ago, and last month, Xu Jingzong, a member of the army of Hu Cao of the Chu Palace, personally visited the old man in order to buy this iron ore."

Dai Xuan felt that he was not afraid of shadows, but he was not afraid to say that Xu Jingzong had visited him.

And when the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Hehe!

This Xu Jingzong, who failed to buy steel bars from his own house a few years ago, still wants to build an ironmaking workshop by himself?

Could it be that Li Kuan really thinks that digging iron ore is the same as digging coal mines, so easy to process?

I really don't know how thick the sky is!

If you have the ability, don't buy a pound of steel bars from yourself in Guanshishan Academy!

"Dai Shangshu, if the King of Chu can lower the price of iron and steel, can the iron ore of this household be sold to him?"

Cheng Yanjin didn't know where he got his confidence, and when he heard that the Chu Wangfu wanted to buy the iron mine in the household department five times, he felt that his son-in-law might have a better way to make iron.

Over the years, there have been too many novelty objects produced in the Chu Palace, constantly subverting the cognition of the nobles of Chang'an City.

"General Cheng, who can make the price of iron and steel in Chang'an City return to the level at the beginning of last year within three months, and what does it matter if this iron mine is given to him?"

Although there are iron mines around Chang'an City, there are no particularly huge mineral deposits.

Whether it is the household, the eldest grandson's family, or the mineral deposits acquired by the Chu Wangfu in recent years, they are all small mines.

Of course, the demand for steel in this era is far less exaggerated than in later generations, so small mines are barely enough.

And the mine is not big, so the value will naturally not be particularly high, although the mine is relatively large, but it is just like that.

This is the reason why Dai Xuan dared to directly say the words of sending the iron mine out.

If it was really a mountain of gold and silver, he would not dare to say such a thing if he borrowed a hundred dares.

Is it really that Li Shimin, the emperor, is so fooled?

"Three months? A return to the level of the beginning of last year? Dai Shangshu, it's not that I said something frustrating, this is simply an impossible task! ”

Although the eldest grandson Wuji also took a fancy to the iron mine, he felt that the conditions proposed by Dai Zhou were not sincere at all.

In his opinion, in the entire Chang'an City, only the Changsun family has the ability to make the price of iron and steel fall.

And this Dai Xuan obviously wants to dig a hole for himself.

It looks like he is willing to give away a mine, but in fact, it is impossible to get it.

When the time comes, if the eldest grandson's family really works hard to increase production and push down the price a little, but it does not reach the level at the beginning of last year, it will be in vain.

Not only did the mine not get its hands on it, but the price went down, and the money he earned became less.

"The price level at the beginning of last year has risen a lot compared to a few years ago. Zhao Guogong, I don't think this request is too much. ”

Dai Xuan saw the contemptuous expression of the eldest grandson Wuji, and said with a dark face.

Compared with the family background, Dai Xuan is not as good as the eldest grandson Wuji.

However, compared to qualifications, he is absolutely superior to the eldest grandson Wuji.

Although there is no obvious evidence, he can't believe that the price of iron has risen in the past year, and there is no eldest grandson family to help the flames.

Now he still dares to give himself a look of contempt......

"Dai Shangshu actually thinks that this request is not too much, and I have nothing to say."

The eldest grandson Wuji threw the pot in advance, and when the price of iron material could not fall, don't blame the eldest grandson's family.

"Humph! Just because the eldest grandson's workshop can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it. In Chang'an City, no matter which workshop it is, as long as it can be done, the iron mine of the household department will be given to him. ”

After Dai Xuan's words were finished, he did not get a response from the other ministers.

"Your Majesty, the matter is big, and there may not be a conclusion for a while, Weichen suggests skipping it today and discussing it tomorrow."

Although Fang Xuanling proposed to discuss how to reduce the price, there is obviously no need to continue to discuss the current situation.

Slow down, think about it again after retreating, and talk about it tomorrow, which is obviously a more realistic suggestion.

"Then the ministers will go back and think about it again, how to deal with this situation, and discuss it tomorrow morning."

Li Shimin also does not expect that everything will be answered immediately as soon as it is raised, which is impossible.

As in later generations, all the things discussed at the conference were communicated, and the meeting was more about going through a process.

Datang is no exception, but any important resolution, especially matters related to the national economy and people's livelihood, are often discussed in advance by Li Shimin and important ministers of the DPRK and China.

With Li Shimin's words, the first topic of today's morning dynasty can be regarded as skipping.
