Chapter 187: Just Be a Rich Man
Standing in front of dozens of ministers, Gu Qing looked at the eldest grandson Wuji in the grand Taiji Palace, "The kid did not let the merchants increase the price, but because of the shortage of workers, it will lead to the change of prices, and this Pushan Workshop is already increasing output to maintain prices." ”
Gu Qing continued, "Dare to ask Zhao Guogong, how much silver is there for fighting rice now." ”
"The old man naturally knows." The eldest grandson Wuji was about to speak.
"Let's talk about it, kid." Gu Qing said, "In the first year of Zhenguan, Guanzhong was hungry, and the rice bucket was worth one horse of silk, and the rice bucket was three dollars!" In two years, the world was full of locusts. Three years, big water. In the past four years, the world has been in the world, and there are only three or four dollars for a few meters, and now there are only three dollars for rice. ”
This passage is the original words in the Zizhi Tongjian, and Gu Qing remembers very well that he did not memorize it when he was studying at that time.
"If Zhao Guogong is based on the price of three coins of rice, it is really a bit unnecessary for the kid to control the price of rice and grain." Gu Qing continued, "Besides, when the kid recruited merchants, the prices in Chang'an had already risen, so the reason why he recruited merchants was because the kid was willing to provide goods to those merchants to calm the shortage of goods in Chang'an. ”
"In addition to some money, the boy's family has no food." Gu Qing continued, "How can the kid control the price of rice and grain, is there a shortage of potatoes all over Chang'an and Chang'an today?" ”
There is really no shortage, the officials of the DPRK and China looked at Gu Qing and thought in their hearts.
The eldest grandson Wuji did not speak.
"Gu Qing." Li Er squinted his eyes and said again, "Zhao Guogong's words are that you control the price of merchants, you say that Zhao Guogong has wronged you, you directly say the reason, and the ministers of the court and I know about those things." ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the kid has a few words I want to ask Zhao Guogong, and I will understand everything after asking." Gu Qing said again.
Before the officials of the court, the eldest grandson Wuji faced Gu Qing and said, "You ask,"
"Good!" Gu Qing opened his mouth and said, "Dare to ask Zhao Guogong, do people have a pair of eyes." ”
"Yes!" The eldest grandson Wuji said.
Gu Qing asked again, "Does a person have a pair of hands?" ”
Eldest grandson Wuji: "Yes"
Gu Qing: "Do people have a mouth?" ”
Eldest Sun Wuji: "Yes!" ”
Gu Qing: "Does the sun rise from the east wind?" ”
Eldest Sun Wuji: "Yes!" ”
"Is the sun setting in the west?"
"Yes!"
"Are you a man!"
"Yes!"
"Are you controlling merchant price increases?"
"Yes!"
……
"The minister has finished asking!" Gu Qing bowed to Li Er.
Taiji Palace was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, and no one spoke for a long time.
"Wha Cheng Yanjin burst out into a very unkind laugh.
"Shut up!" Niu Jinda quietly kicked Cheng Jin.
Gu Qing smiled and said to the eldest grandson Wuji, "Originally, the kid wanted to reason with Zhao Guogong, but it was too wasteful, Zhao Guogong should not be surprised." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's face was pale.
Gu Qing continued, "As for the time when the kid recruited merchants, those merchants had always had business dealings with Zhao Guogong in the court, the kid made bicycles, and Zhao Guogong also made bicycles, and the price was thirty percent low. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji did not speak.
Gu Qing asked again, "Zhao Guogong instigated Yong to let the workshops in Chang'an suspend work and strike, is there such a thing?" ”
Eldest grandson Wuji: "......"
Gu Qing asked again, "Is there such a thing as Zhao Guogong and the children of the Lu family!" ”
"Nope!" The eldest grandson, Wuji, loudly denied it.
The kid casually asked, why Zhao Guogong was so excited. Gu Qing said with a smile.
"Gu Qing, have you made enough trouble!" Li Er shouted, "Zhao Guo's public and private merchants, fined him for three years to write a book and repent!" Gu Qing disturbed the price of Chang'an, fined him for three years, and repented of himself! Retreat! ”
The ministers saluted, and after Li Er left the Taiji Palace, the hundred officials retreated, and Cheng Yanjin lifted his belt to the iron-faced eldest grandson Wuji and left with great power.
Gu Qing walked among the hundred officials, and Wang Qin stopped Gu Qing again, "County wait, Your Majesty summons you." ”
"Oh." Gu Qing nodded, Li Er seemed to be angry, and subconsciously shrunk his neck.
followed Wang Qin and Gu Qing all the way to a water pavilion in the palace, saw Li Er and said, "Minister, meet Your Majesty." ”
"Excuse me, you're not a person who likes to salute." Li Er turned around and looked at Gu Qing, "You are much taller than when you first came to Chang'an, you were still a hairy boy back then." ”
"No, no." Gu Qing waved his hand again and again.
"I know everything about the matter between you and Zhao Guogong." Li Er said worriedly, "I don't know when it started, the original Zhao Guogong has changed, it seems to have started with beautiful slippery tires!" Zhao Guogong lied in front of me, and I saw it in my eyes. ”
"Your Majesty, this is called seeing through and not saying it, Your Majesty is wise." Gu Qing hurriedly slapped a sycophant.
Li Er said discouragedly, "You are different from many people in the Tang Dynasty, you never do it well when I give you an official, every time you are driving a donkey, how many people echo me, you say that I am wise, and you dislike the power I gave you in your heart, and give you a Zhonglang to gag you, why are you so disgusted with the court, so disgusted with power." ”
"Because the minister is lazy." Gu Qing reluctantly said a reason.
"Wang Qin sewed this kid's mouth shut with me." Li Er shouted.
"Wait!" Gu Qing took two steps back and said, "Your Majesty, the minister feels that he is still too young to take on a big responsibility!" And he couldn't cope with the ministers of the court, and His Majesty also saw that Zhao Guogong almost pushed the ministers under the guillotine with a word, and the court was in dire straits, and the ministers were timid. ”
"Are you satirizing my court?" Li Er was holding back the fire in his heart, and wanted to sew this kid's mouth with his own hands.
Gu Qing hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" It's just that the minister feels that his ability is shallow, and he has no hobbies except for making money, just like being a rich man, His Majesty regards him as a person with no ambitions. ”
"For the price of prices in Chang'an today, I have also seen the clues, to put it mildly, Gu Qing, your factory has great strength, I don't worry about you." Li Er opened his mouth and said, "What Zhao Guogong said is not unreasonable, you can see from the struggle between you and Zhao Guogong, no matter which of you exert your strength, or other powerful people, you can stir up the price of Chang'an into a pool of troubled waters." ”
"The minister has an idea, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Gu Qing opened his mouth and said.
"Say!" Li Er stared at Gu Qing's expression.
"I thought we could set up a trade union." Gu Qing thought about it according to the concept of the industrial and commercial bureau of later generations and said, "The intervention of the DPRK and Chinese officials is similar to that of the household department, but the management is more detailed than that of the household department, from the workshop to the workers to the merchants, and the major merchants in Chang'an are united to control prices." ”
"The minister also said a heart-to-heart word to His Majesty." Gu Qing glanced at Li Er, "No one has said anything about the price of this Chang'an, but the people have the final say." "Hundred plating" Tang Zhenguan One Scholar Claw Book House The latest chapter is free to read for the first time.
