Chapter 320: Yang Benman of the head iron
The weather is gradually getting warmer, and the number of tourists on both sides of the Weishui River is starting to increase. With the warming of the weather, the price of stainless steel, which has been rising for more than a year, seems to have become hotter.
"Aye, according to your meaning, all the steel produced by the steel tempering workshop we built is put in the warehouse, and not a pound is sold, and when those people can't buy enough steel, the price will naturally rise a few more points."
Changsun Chong said with a smile: "This is pure profit, even if it is more than ten cents per catty, the tens of thousands of catties of steel in our warehouse can also make hundreds of dollars, not to mention that the steel produced in this workshop is increasing every day." ”
"Well, the price of iron should also be properly mentioned, otherwise some people see that the price of steel has risen too much, so they would rather buy iron and go back to forging, even if the quality of the steel they forge themselves is a little worse, some people will do this."
The eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard, and was quite satisfied with the current situation.
In recent years, the workshops in Chang'an City have blossomed everywhere, and the demand for iron and steel has risen rapidly.
Although he doesn't understand what the laws of the market are, if the supply is insufficient, the price of things will rise, and this truth is very clear to the eldest grandson Wuji.
"That's what I said, then I'll let the ironmaking workshop control the shipment of iron, and store more in the warehouse."
Changsun Chong felt that he was really more thoughtful than himself, and accepted his opinion very humbly.
"By the way, the steel bars purchased by Guanshishan Academy last month are still dragging and have not signed a contract, right?"
Eldest Sun Wuji suddenly thought of a happy thing, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
The Gewu Building is the tallest building in Kwun Shi Shan Academy, but Hui also plans to build a huge auditorium to accommodate the entire academy's gatherings.
This requires the use of a large number of columns and beams, and the procurement of steel bars is naturally something that cannot be avoided.
In the entire Chang'an City, the largest source of iron and steel is the workshop of the eldest grandson's family.
Even if he knew that his prince and the eldest grandson's family were not dealing with each other, in order to complete the construction of the auditorium in time, Xu Jingzong had no choice but to pinch his nose and find the eldest grandson's shop to purchase steel bars.
I have to purchase tens of thousands of catties of steel bars at one time, and I don't know whether the shopkeeper of the eldest grandson's family is intentional or unintentional, and he has been dragging it out without signing a contract.
Seeing that today's price has risen by nearly one percent compared with the beginning, Xu Jingzong has not yet bought what he wants.
"Aye, not yet. There are so many steel bars at once, and we have to slow down to take them out, and they have nothing to say about this reason. ”
The eldest grandson Chong thought that he could make Li Kuan deflated, and his mood suddenly changed for the better.
For him, this year can be described as a year of great joy, first just after the New Year, Li Lizhen gave birth to the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson, named Changsun Yan.
Immediately afterwards, the ironmaking industry that Aya let himself slowly take over continue to usher in good news, and the price rose one after another, seeing that he could earn more profits than in previous years in the first half of this year, he couldn't help but be unhappy.
The eldest grandson's family is not short of money, but the eldest grandson Chong enjoys this sense of achievement.
Especially in this process, if you can make Li Kuan uncomfortable, it will be even more refreshing.
Although he sometimes doesn't understand why he Aya has been unable to get along with the Chu Wangfu, it stands to reason that the two families don't seem to have any real hatred, but he doesn't want to see Li Kuan, and if he can't get by, he can't get by, and he doesn't have the idea of wanting to change.
Who let that Li Kuan Lao steal his limelight?
"Okay, put it off a little longer, and wait until next month, and you can almost sell the steel bars to him at the price on the market."
The eldest grandson Wuji calculated the time and felt that his arrangement was the most perfect.
If there is no accident, if Guanshishan Academy still wants to buy so many steel bars, it can only pinch its nose and accept it.
It's a pleasure to think about.
……
Hou Junji made a big fuss about the Ministry of Works, and those who should know will naturally know it quickly.
Yang Benman's imperial history is naturally no exception.
This seems like a big deal.
Being able to do the position of supervising the imperial history, Yang Benman naturally does not really have no ability at all, but many times, his character has some flaws, which is also an important reason why he basically stops at supervising the imperial history.
You know, he was born in Xiucai, and he is an absolute highly educated talent.
The talent of the Sui and Tang dynasties is not comparable to the talent of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
A few years ago, during the reform of the imperial examination, Li Shimin had cancelled the Xiucai Section, the reason was that the difficulty of the Xiucai Subject was too high, and there were very few people who could pass the examination.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is one in a million.
I don't know how much higher the education level of Qingbei in later generations is higher.
"Yang Dong, have you heard about the rise in the price of iron and steel in Chang'an City?"
Yang Ben was full of thoughts about how to give full play to his workshop in this matter and brush up on his sense of existence.
Imperial history, if you don't impeach a few important ministers all year round, then are you still a qualified imperial history?
"Ah Lang, this is one of the hottest topics in the east and west of Chang'an City in recent months, and the old slave naturally heard about it. However, because our tea plantation or tea workshop basically does not need to use iron, so I did not report to you in detail. ”
Yang Dong didn't know why Yang Benman suddenly asked about this, but he still explained it simply.
"Why did the price of steel in Chang'an City suddenly rise so fast? Even the production of weapons by the Ministry of Industry has been affected. ”
"Hey, Ah Lang, I've really heard a little rumor about this."
Yang Dong saw that his family master was very interested, and he couldn't help but start to show off his well-informed side.
"The main reason is naturally because there are more people buying iron and steel, but the iron and steel sold on the market are increasing relatively little, so the price will naturally rise."
"I understand this, listening to your tone, could it be that there are other reasons?"
Yang Benman suddenly felt as if he was about to catch something.
I don't know, but tomorrow there will be a target for impeachment.
"Ah Lang, whether it is iron or steel, what can be produced is basically a noble family, among which Zhao Guogong is the most. I heard that in the Zhao Guogong Mansion, a huge steel tempering workshop was actually built just a year ago, but the amount of steel sold on the market has not increased significantly. ”
"Huh? Isn't the new workshop already built? Why doesn't it sell better on the market? ”
"Hoarding is not much of a secret."
When Yang Benman heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly.
If he even dared to impeach Zhao Guogong, would anyone dare to say that he would only stare at His Royal Highness the King of Chu all day long, and only know about the communiqué's personal vendetta?
Does anyone dare to say that they are lying to confuse the public?
The spring flowers are blooming, and there is a scene of butterflies flying and flowers everywhere around the Taiye Pond.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun walked beside the flowers.
After the adjustment of dietary therapy, although the body of Empress Changsun cannot be said to have fully recovered, at least it is no longer the sick appearance.
Yesterday, after listening to Li Zhong's report on the rise in the prices of iron and steel in Chang'an City, Li Shimin's mood was a little irritable.
However, after seeing the eldest grandson queen, he let go of this irritable mood again.
Objectively speaking, since Empress Changsun married her, she basically didn't take the initiative to ask for anything related to the eldest grandson's family.
Even, after the eldest grandson Wuji was the secretary of the ministry before, and there were bad rumors in the court, it was the eldest grandson Empress who took the initiative to persuade herself to remove the sensitive position of the eldest grandson Wuji.
Therefore, although Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied with the eldest grandson's family yesterday, for the sake of the eldest grandson, he didn't think about it anymore.
Wuji is estimated to have been deceived by his subordinates.
Besides, the demand for iron and steel has increased so quickly, and the eldest grandson family can't be blamed for deliberately raising prices, right?
Li Shimin comforted himself so much in his heart.
"This pond is surrounded by all kinds of flowers and trees, and you can see the flowers blooming all year round.
Empress Changsun now has a very good impression of Li Kuan, even if she knows that the eldest grandson's family and the Chu Wangfu are a little dirty, it will not affect her love for Li Kuan.
It's like I love Changsun Chong.
"Well, when I saw his idle appearance, I felt a pang of anger in my heart. Over the years, he has really grown up. ”
Li Shimin thought of the son he once said in his mouth, but now he has made various contributions to Datang, and his heart is also satisfied.
"I heard that Princess Chu is pregnant, Kuan'er should become more stable in the future."
"I hope so, but I always feel that Kuan'er is not a person who stops, and even if she has an heir, she may not necessarily be reined in."
Li Shimin now loves and hates Li Kuan.
What I love is that this guy can always solve some problems unexpectedly, and can always bring various benefits to Datang.
Hate is that I am often stimulated by all kinds of news, and I come from time to time, which makes people very unbearable.
"Another day, I'll call Jingwen to the palace to sit down, this pregnant person, it's not a bad thing to move around more."
……
Duhe has been in a very happy mood lately.
Although he usually looks like Changsun Chong's doglegs, when there is a good thing, Changsun Chong still thinks of pulling him by the hand.
No, under the reminder of the eldest grandson, the Du family raised more than 20,000 yuan to hoard iron and steel, and now seeing the rising prices, Du He felt that the copper coins were flowing to his house.
Of course, Du He was able to persuade his eldest brother to take out almost all of the family's working capital to hoard iron and steel, in addition to the reminder of the eldest grandson, the opinion of the uncle who was in charge of the Ministry of Industry also played a role.
"Second brother, take it when you see it, maybe it won't go up when it happens."
Du Gou's courage is not as big as his younger brother, and in less than half a year, the family has nearly 10,000 yuan of assets, and he can't help but be a little frightened.
"Big brother, the eldest grandson's family has a lot more iron and steel than we have hoarded, they are not afraid, what do we have to worry about?" Du He didn't care, "Besides, the inventory in the warehouse was all raised by me from a few workshops with great difficulty, and it was sold like this, how can it be worthy of my efforts?" ”
"However, the rise in the price of iron and steel has already caused a stir in the market, and sooner or later there will be a move in the DPRK, and it may be too late to stop when the time comes."
As the eldest son, Du Wei inherited Du Ruhui's position as the prince of the country, and he was the head of the family, so he naturally considered more things than Du He.
"Big brother, I made an appointment with the eldest grandson Shaoqing for dinner, and I'll talk to you about when it will be shipped another day."
Du He couldn't convince his eldest brother, but he didn't want to sell it now, so he simply played procrastination.
With what he knows about his big brother, this trick often works well.
……
As it slowly rises from the horizon, the land of Guanzhong has entered a new day.
In the Daming Palace, all the ministers are rushing in and going to the Hanyuan Palace.
Yang Benman's face was more ruddy than in previous years, which made the colleagues next to him feel a little strange.
This weather is not very hot, why is this Yang Yushi looking hot?
"Yang Yushi, before you came to the early dynasty, you also exercised? What kind of exercise is this? ”
There are acquaintances who are walking and joking.
"Humph!"
Yang Benman glanced at his colleague and did not speak.
Don't look at these people, they usually greet each other normally when they see them, but Yang Benman knows very well that they don't know how to laugh at themselves behind their backs.
Rumors confuse the public Yang Benman, this shame, don't want to wash it away for a while.
Since it can't stop them from talking about themselves, it is better to provide them with something more violent to discuss.
Yang Benman fantasized about his performance in the court for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little more ruddy.
The imperial history wants to leave a name in history, and wants to be famous in Chang'an City, so he can only impeach the important ministers of the court without fear of power.
Yang Benman felt that what he was going to do was beneficial to both public and private affairs, and it was a correct choice.
Soon, everyone had already come to the Hanyuan Hall and stood one by one according to their respective positions.
Yang Benman couldn't help but look up at the eldest grandson Wuji in front of him, and sneered in his heart.
The eldest grandson Wuji is a relatively unique existence in the Tang Dynasty.
On the one hand, he and Li Shimin can be said to be friends when they were teenagers, and they are heroes from the dragon.
On the other hand, he is the elder brother of Empress Changsun and Li Shimin's brother-in-law.
Therefore, although it is not impossible for the DPRK and China to dare to get along with him, there are really not many.
At least on the surface.
"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"
In Lan He's sharp voice, today's morning dynasty began.
Yang Benman took a deep breath, "cough cough" twice, and stood up in the strange eyes of the big guys.
Eldest Sun Wuji: Could it be that Li Kuan made some mistake recently and was caught by Yang Benman?
Fang Xuanling: This Yang Benman hasn't moved for a while, what's going on today?
Cheng Yanjin: This guy, if he dares to impeach my son-in-law again, the old man will have to give him some color today.
Just when everyone hadn't fully reacted, Yang Benman spoke.
"Your Majesty, Weichen impeached Zhao Guogong for conniving at his subordinates to raise prices, hoard, and obtain huge profits......"
With Yang Benman's words, everyone was stunned.
Is this Yang Benman full of temperament?
Don't you think that impeaching Li Kuan is not difficult enough, and it is difficult to change it?
That's iron!
In the Hanyuan Palace, the atmosphere is a little delicate.
Even Li Shimin was stunned.
This Yang Benman took the wrong medicine today, right?
Why did you suddenly fall in love with Mowgli?
I haven't heard of any conflict between them.
"Iron and steel are important materials for making weapons and agricultural tools, and since the beginning of last year, the ...... of Chang'an City"
Yang Benman saw that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty turned their eyes to him, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became.
This is the time to wash away your shame.
And the eldest grandson Wuji looked at Yang Benman with a cannibalistic eye.
The nobles of Chang'an City always have some ways to make money, although iron and steel are relatively special things, but the practice of the eldest grandson's family is not too much compared to others.
"Your Majesty, the rise in iron and steel prices in Chang'an City is due to the rising national strength of the Tang Dynasty, the increasing prosperity of the people, and the increase in demand for iron.
was impeached in front of someone, and the eldest grandson Wuji naturally wanted to come out to defend himself.
Although he was a little weak at the beginning, after thinking about it a little, the eldest grandson Wuji also had confidence in his heart.
There is no concrete evidence for the price hike, and no matter how much it is argued, there will be no clear result.
As for hoarding, although it is true that it has done so, it can be explained by other reasons.
Didn't Xu Jingzong of Guanshishan Academy want to buy a large number of steel bars?
The stainless steel stored in their own warehouses is unknown to ordinary people.
Even if it is known, it can be said that it is preparing for the delivery of Guanshishan Academy.
Thinking of this, Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but show a smile on his face, which made his rebuttal seem more convincing.
"Zhao Guogong, you are the prince of the dynasty, and you have repeatedly received favors from the country, but for your own selfish interests, not the interests of the court, and regardless of the life and death of the people, you go and ask the household department to recognize your statement? Does the Ministry of War agree with your statement? Does the Ministry of Industry agree with your statement? ”
Yang Benman is smart.
At this time, it is of the greatest benefit to oneself to muddy the waters and involve the parties involved in the quarrel between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, which has just caused a stir.
Anyway, the purpose of his impeachment of the eldest grandson Wuji is not because he wants to do anything with him.
In fact, Yang Benman knows very well that as long as the eldest grandson Wuji does not do anything rebellious, no matter how he impeaches, he will not be able to hurt him in the slightest.
However, if you make things big and muddy the waters, your fame will naturally go up.
Anyway, at this moment, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, or the Ministry of War, are somewhat dissatisfied with the rise in the prices of iron and steel.
And these people naturally know that in the Guanzhong area, the Changsun family is the largest producer of iron and steel.
No matter how Changsun Wuji defends it, if you want to say that this matter has nothing to do with the eldest grandson's family, no one believes it.
"Dai Aiqing, Yan Aiqing, Hou Aiqing, what do you guys say?"
Li Shimin's face was calm, and no one knew what he was thinking.
However, as an emperor, he can't always see that the early dynasty has become a place where Yang Benman and the eldest grandson Wuji spray each other.
Since Yang Benman mentioned several other yamen, he simply took this opportunity to listen to what others had to say.
Comparing it with the information that Mr. Li gave him, he should be able to understand the causes and consequences of this matter more clearly.
"Ahem!"
Yan Lide glanced at Hou Junji and Dai Zhou and stood up.
In the past few days, he has also been angry.
The prices of iron and steel have risen, but the appropriations of the Ministry of Household Affairs have not increased at the same time, and it is naturally impossible for the Ministry of Industry to deliver all kinds of weapons as originally planned.
At this time, the household department is silent, and the military department blames the engineering department, where can I reason with myself?
Since this Yang Benman is pointing the finger at Zhao Guogong, and he wants to pull himself into the water, then let's just talk about it in this court.
"Your Majesty, whether there is price gouging in the Zhao Guogong Mansion or whether there is hoarding, Weichen doesn't know. However, Weichen knows that the price of iron and steel has risen a lot compared with last year, and half of the iron and steel in Guanzhong are from the workshop of the eldest grandson's family. ”
Yan Lide has some opinions about the eldest grandson family in his heart, but he is not stupid, the eldest grandson queen and the eldest grandson Wuji, and many other children of the eldest grandson family are all officials in the court, and it is impossible for him to scold the eldest grandson Wuji.
No matter how iron the head is, it is also necessary to consider the overall interests of the Yan family.
However, if he wants to stand on the side of the eldest grandson Wuji, he can't do it.
Then why did Hou Junji rush to the Ministry of Industry and point at his nose and spray violently?
Isn't the eldest grandson's family responsible for what he suffered?
"Your Majesty, Weichen also agrees with what Yan Shangshu said, the price of iron and steel has indeed risen too much in the past year."
Although the household department is also a victim of the rising prices of iron materials, it is obvious that Yang Benman and Yan Lide are in front, and there is no need for him to be this villain.
So Dai Zhou only echoed a sentence, and didn't say anything more.
"In this Chang'an City, the price changes of various materials, logically speaking, have nothing to do with the military department. But whether the Ministry of Industry can deliver the weapons to the Ministry of War on time, Wei Chen just took this opportunity to ask Yan Shangshu and Dai Shangshu.
The provincial Ministry of Industry said that the Ministry of Household only allocated so much money and grain, and I only made so many weapons; However, the Ministry of Household said that the money and food for the weapons required by the Ministry of War had already been given, and it was the Ministry of Industry's business that could not do it. ”
Although Hou Junji has a foul temper and thinks very highly of himself, he will not be easily pulled into the water by Yang Benman.
On the contrary, he took this opportunity to find the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household to gather relevant weapons.
Yang Benman saw that this situation seemed to be not quite the same as he imagined.
It seems that I have to throw some more fierce materials to come out.
"Your Majesty, Weichen heard that the eldest grandson's family just built a steel tempering workshop some time ago, and the ironmaking workshop has also expanded in scale. However, the iron and steel on the market seem to be more difficult to buy, whether it is hoarded or not, you can find out at a glance. ”
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji chuckled in his heart.
It seems that there is no way to be good today.
The goods hoarded in the warehouse can be fooled by the reason that they are ready to be delivered to the Guanshishan Academy.
Although there are more of them, it is impossible for His Majesty to really send someone to weigh them pound by pound, right?
"Yang Yushi, you are listening to the wind or rain. There are a lot of people buying things, and it's not something I can control. You all know that in order to cope with the shortage of iron and steel, the eldest grandson's family has built a new workshop, but it is still not enough. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Li Shimin, who was expressionless in the center of the main hall, and stood up and shouted.
This level of finding loopholes from the other party's mouth, Changsun Wuji is obviously much higher than Yang Benman.
"Zhao Guogong, don't avoid the important and take it lightly, how do you explain the matter of hoarding Juqi?"
There was no turning back from the bow, Yang Benman was obviously carrying the eldest grandson Wuji today.
