"Fourth uncle, did you just say that Your Majesty confiscated the land of Marquis Shouning in Miyun?" Li Zhaotong asked with a deep groan.

He remembered that in his "memory", there was a place called Jugezhuang Town in Miyun, and there was a Shouyun iron mine, which would be the only state-owned iron mine in the capital more than 400 years later.

But here's the problem, Li Zhaotong doesn't understand the ironmaking industry, he only knows one term - blast furnace ironmaking.

So, Li Zhaotong sank his mind into his mind and asked the system:

[System, how many days does it take to exchange the blast furnace ironmaking process?] 】

【3600】

Li Zhaotong: "......"

"Forget it, even if you go to develop Shouyun Iron Mine, it's too late, and the interests of the five industries of salt, iron, copper cloth and tea in Daming are too big, and it's not good to enter rashly!" Li Zhaotong had no choice but to comfort himself like this.

After all, 3,600 days of life is not just talking!

The income brought to him by honeycomb coal is only more than 3,600 days, so if Li Zhaotong redeems the "blast furnace ironmaking process", then he will return to the pre-liberation period.

Li Zhaotong seriously suspected that the system was deliberately stuck at this point to offer him an offer.

"Erlang, why don't we give in to Shou Ninghou! Because if it continues to rise like this, the honeycomb coal furnace is likely to bring huge losses to Xishan Coal Industry!

But this is secondary, ordinary people don't know that behind the sharp rise in iron prices is Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo.

Therefore, when the iron price is out of control and ordinary people cannot afford to buy iron, then they will turn their anger at Xishan Coal Industry, and they will think that Xishan Coal Industry has used too much iron, which has caused the price of iron to skyrocket.

In this way, it is very unfavorable to our Xishan coal industry! ”

Li Dongming suggested with some grievances.

There's no way, what this Zhang brother did is really disgusting!

"No! You must not be soft, once you are soft, Your Majesty's face will be greatly lost, this is a more terrible thing than the price of iron out of control! So don't give in! ”

Li Zhaotong categorically rejected Li Dongming's proposal.

"What then?"

"The matter of public opinion is very easy to solve, and when the time comes, it is good to spend money to find some idlers to spread the bad news that the rise in iron prices is the bad news that Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo are making;

But the rise in iron prices is really a serious problem, and I need to think about it. ”

The Zhang brothers' hoarding of pig iron led to a rise in iron prices, using normal market competition moves, although there is a suspicion of hoarding, but it cannot be regarded as a trick, after all, the Zhang brothers are also real money in the market to buy.

"Do you want to let Your Majesty know about this? After all, in the Xishan coal industry, His Majesty accounts for seventy percent. ”

"No, you can't sue!"

Li Zhaotong also vetoed Li Dongming's proposal, he felt that if he went to sue himself, he might win the lawsuit, but it would seem that he was very incompetent.

Moreover, even if the Zhang brothers lose, they will not get any punishment, at most, they will take a few sentences of training and stop the acquisition, and they will not hurt their muscles and bones, because behind them stands a queen at the level of helping the younger brother.

On the contrary, he not only can't suppress the price of pig iron, but also offends the Zhang brothers and causes a fuss for himself.

Therefore, Li Zhaotong believed that he would never be able to sue Emperor Hongzhi unless he had to.

He decided to be ruthless once, and he didn't believe it, he was a person who fused the soul from the future and had a systematic body, and he couldn't play two lawless villains who would only rely on his sister's protection?!

"Why don't you raise the price?" Li Dongming suggested.

"The price increase can't be! Once the price rises, we can't play the card of benefiting the country and the people! This is not good for the promotion of honeycomb coal!

Honeycomb coal is the main profit point of Xishan coal industry, and honeycomb coal furnace is not going anywhere.

And more importantly, once the price rises, Your Majesty, maybe he will be impeached by the officials and compete with the people, and at that time, the situation of Xishan Coal Industry will be even worse! Maybe you might even lure a wolf into the house. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhaotong felt that Li Dongming had a bad idea, so he was not ready to let him come up with an idea, so he said:

"Fourth uncle, let's do it, I need to think about this matter, sort out my thoughts, and you can let it flow for the time being."

"Oh well! Then try to think clearly as soon as possible, because if this honeycomb coal stove drags on for a day, it is a loss for a day. ”

I don't know when Li Zhaotong's speech in the Li Mansion has been very heavy, almost everyone will respect and listen to his opinions and give him space to think, and Li Dongming is the same.

Otherwise, as Li Zhaotong's fourth uncle, he would not have to wait for Li Zhaotong to come back at home and ask Li Zhaotong's opinion.

……

"Virtuous nephew, the rise in iron prices will have a big impact on Xishan Coal Industry?"

Emperor Hongzhi went out of the palace again, this time, he came to the Li Mansion with Li Dongyang of the next dynasty, and the matter reported by Zhou Jing about the rise in iron prices made him worried, so he wanted to come to see Li Zhaotong, a lucky star, to see if he could gain something.

"Huge! Honeycomb coal stoves are now being sold at a loss. ”

Li Zhaotong was not modest with Emperor Hongzhi, he directly admitted the facts, and exaggerated the facts, because it was related to his next move.

"Will that affect the displaced people in the Xishan Coal Mine?"

Emperor Hongzhi is a good emperor after all, and his first concern is not his own money bag, but the people.

"This will not be for the time being, the loss of the honeycomb coal furnace is very large, but the profits earned by the honeycomb coal can make up for this gap, but this is the current situation, if it continues to rise, I am afraid it will be difficult."

Li Zhaotong is still exaggerating the facts, in fact, the profits made by honeycomb coal are still very profitable after filling the gap in the loss of honeycomb coal furnaces!

After all, honeycomb coal is a necessary consumable, while honeycomb coal stoves are durable goods, and the two are simply not comparable.

This is very easy to understand, for example, in later generations, those water shops that sell bottled water, often in order to win over customers and make the bottled water sales in their stores better, they all provide customers with water dispensers for free!

Because bottled water is a consumable and a water dispenser is a durable good.

Although the profit of consumables is not large, the amount is large, and after reaching a certain amount, the payment of durable goods can be earned back.

The same is true for those telecom operators who charge phone bills and send mobile phones.

Li Zhaotong said this completely to let Emperor Hongzhi speak along his own lines, so that he could make the next move.

"What's the best way to do that?"

Emperor Hongzhi was really fooled, and what he said really followed Li Zhaotong's train of thought.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about dividing some shares, pulling more shareholders in, and then everyone will bear the losses together...... Oh no, it's money together! ”

Li Zhaotong deliberately dug another pit.

"Bear the loss together? Will anyone be willing? "Emperor Hongzhi entered the pit again.

"Hey, hey! Your Majesty, what the little nephew said is to make money together, make money together, then of course someone will be willing! ”

Li Zhaotong said with a smile, smiling, very treacherous, and completely looking like a villain.
