Li Yuanjing finally got the coveted iron ore.

During the last day off before the New Year's Day, the eldest grandson Wuji personally escorted several truckloads of iron ore to Huangzhuang.

After a PY transaction, the eldest grandson Wuji completely relieved his heart.

Although there are doubts about Li Yuanjing's proposal to improve steel smelting, if this matter can be successful, whether it is for Changsun Jun or Datang, there will only be good things and no bad things.

Moreover, the iron ore is not given all at once, but in batches, if the middle eldest Sun Wuji feels that Li Yuanjing is deceiving, he will cancel the supply of iron ore.

Of course, this matter is not decided by the eldest grandson Wuji alone, but by Li Shimin's acquiescence.

Of course, Li Shimin knew that Li Yuanjing was changing his tricks to pit free materials from himself, just like the cement in the cement workshop was pulled away by Li Yuanjing.

But if Li Yuanjing can really improve the method of smelting steel, these iron ores will be given.

Li Shimin is stingy, but not stingy.

The Zhengdan Dynasty will be very boring, and Li Yuanjing directly skipped work.

The villagers in the Huangzhuang are still in full swing, and the New Year has no effect on them.

Therefore, during the whole Chinese New Year, everything in the Huangzhuang did not stop, and by the middle of the first month, the factory building had been built, and in the second half of the year, the warehouse was also built, all the purchased raw materials began to be moved into the warehouse, and more than 400 new looms that had been made were also moved in.

At the same time, all the women of every household in the Huangzhuang were arranged to work in the weaving workshop, taking care of food, eating three meals a day, and being paid five yuan a day.

This price is not low, at least in Chang'an, you can't find such treatment.

The two imperial villages have been merged into one, although they are still divided into two places, the eldest daughters-in-law and little daughters are vying to enter the workshop to work, and even in order to grab the position, they also show the majesty of a Tang woman in front of Li Yuanjing.

To put it mildly, there are at least a thousand positions, which can be regarded as barely appeasing these women.

The construction speed of the palace is not fast, there are still many places that need to be polished, plus the weather is cold, you need to wait for steel bars, so there is no hurry.

However, a lot of things happened in the imperial court in this month, and the first major event was naturally a natural disaster.

After the beginning of winter last year, there were two heavy snowfalls that made everyone smile, but the good times did not last long, and then until now, there has not been a single snow or rain for three months.

The water level of the river, which had been restored, had dropped again, and it was just past the first month, and the weather was unbearable.

At the beginning of the first month, the imperial court conducted an assessment of officials, which were the personnel who remained after the streamlining, and in order to appease these people, all those who received the upper and lower evaluations were given a year's salary.

In the second half of the year, the monk Falla was convicted, and Pei Lin was implicated because of this, and was dismissed from Sikong's official position by Li Shimin.

Li Yuanjing, who had grievances and grievances in the officialdom, did not want to interfere, and Pei Lian's departure also meant that Emperor Li Yuan's henchmen had basically completely left the imperial court.

Of course, for Li Yuanjing, the benefits are not without it.

Because of the severe drought and the drop in the water level of the river, the price of grain in the capital has risen again, and the price of grain has risen, which means that the price of some other unnecessary items will be reduced.

The price of raw silk was reduced by fifty dollars, but there were still very few people who asked about the buyers.

Li Yuanjing: The purchase price of their raw materials has also decreased, the grain is too expensive, and the people have no money to buy it.

As a result, the cost of materials for a piece of cloth dropped from forty to thirty and then to twenty.

Shortly after entering February, Fang Xuanling was promoted to the left servant of Shangshu, Du Ruhui was promoted to the right servant of Shangshu, and Wei Zheng was appointed as the secretary and supervisor of Shangshu and officially participated in the government affairs.

On the second floor of a restaurant, in the box facing the street, Li Yuanjing sat here leisurely with a few people, looking at the scenery opposite, with a smug smile on his face.

"Your Highness, is it really appropriate for us to do this?" Cheng Chuliang scratched his head timidly.

It's true that the sky is not afraid of the earth, but this kind of thing will be killed......

"Why isn't it appropriate? We have made double the profits, as long as the people don't scold the king for being black-hearted! Li Yuanjing smiled.

"I think we can be more black-hearted, otherwise when will the money invested be returned?" The eldest grandson shook his head, and now his brother is staying in Huangzhuang with Du He to play.

It's a pity that one person is playing with fire, and one person is still playing with dung.

"Isn't it easy to get back to your roots? In a few days, we will use the money to launch a new project, and the number will come up, and the profit will naturally increase. Li Yuanjing shook his head, he was bragging in front of Li Shimin, if the first group asked for too high a price for profit, I am afraid that it would be difficult to do the business in the future.

……

Besides, across the street, Wanmin Cloth Shop, the steward Niu Fang was a servant of the Fang family, and several little ancestors were sitting opposite and watching, which made him unable to be lazy, let alone change the price without authorization.

This cloth shop is in the ring with the Zheng's cloth village next door, the two shops are next to each other, thinking of this, Niu Yi couldn't help but shudder, you can sell a piece of cloth today, even if I lose......

"Let's get started!" Niu Fang waved his hand at the subordinate man brought by the house.

I have explained everything that should be explained yesterday, and now I just need to follow the normal procedure.

Several subordinates understood, hurriedly stood at the door of the store, cleared their throats, and began to shout: "Wanmin cloth store has opened a big reward, today only sells ordinary raw silk, a horse of fifty feet, only one hundred and fifty yuan......

"One hundred and fifty dollars? Deceptive, right? I heard that the price of collecting cloth from the countryside is about 100 yuan, and you should still need 50 yuan for such a toss, right? Someone immediately questioned it.

"That's it, I heard that I can't beat fifty dollars, so I don't believe you dare to sell at a loss." The melon-eating crowd followed and asked.

"Hehe, if they don't lose money at this price, I will eat Xiang on the spot, and I will remember it, this is what I said Zhang Dagou!"

Now except for food, other goods are not easy to sell, cloth is slightly better, people can't always wrap two leaves and go out, but everyone still thinks that this thing can be saved, and buying more food can at least ensure that you don't starve to death.

But if a horse of raw silk is sold for only one hundred and fifty yuan, most people will still come to buy one, after all, this price is not available even when there is enough food.

In the face of this kind of questioning, the guy who shouted had been trained yesterday, and immediately remembered the words prepared in advance and said: "This eldest sister, you are really worried, if you are not at ease, you can take one hundred and fifty dollars out here, I will go in and get you a piece of cloth out, we are here to trade, the big guys are watching it, opening the door to do business is based on sincerity, and we will not even want to face for this cloth, do you say?" ”

The eldest sister was obviously a little hesitant, the money on her body was to buy food, but when she thought of the cloth of one hundred and fifty yuan, she really missed it if she missed it, and the family had not added a new dress for three years.

Gritting his teeth, he instantly made up his mind, took out one hundred and fifty dollars from his body and handed it to the guy: "You go and get me a cloth, if the size is not enough, I will not follow it!" ”

"That can't be!" The guy hurriedly responded, someone in the store had already prepared, and immediately took out a piece of cloth, and the account office immediately wrote a transaction wedge and took it out.
