God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 487

Early the next morning.

The first batch of iron from the imperial city was shipped to Dream Group.

This batch of iron feet weighed more than 1 catties.

For Dream Group, it is a timely help.

But for Li Er, it was just a drop in the bucket. After the Turks were destroyed, Datang occupied several large iron mines in the northwest, which solved the shortage of iron mines in Datang. The only limiting factor was iron smelting technology. It is still backward and unable to produce high-quality iron on a large scale, but there has been no war in the Tang Dynasty for at least five years, and the demand for iron has naturally decreased. Not only Li Er himself was willing to sell part of it to Du He at a price of one or two times, but the bigwigs in the court would not object, and they all praised His Majesty Li Er for being a wise man and good at doing business.

More than 1 catties of iron were delivered, and it was Ximen Qing who Li Er sent to monitor.

Ximen Qing and Du He are old friends.

Du He pulled Ximen Qing aside and said, "Director Ximen, your Majesty has appointed you to be the supervisor this time, so you can't lose face."

Li Er was worried that Du He would use the iron purchased from the imperial court for other purposes, so he specially sent Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing laughed when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty of Huyi County, what you said is serious. Others don't know it. Doesn't this slave know who you are? Your Majesty is worried that you will use iron for other purposes, but you can see it in the slave's eyes." Come on, this is too much to worry about... His Majesty asked the servants to send messages to the palace every day, don't worry, the county magistrate, I will send you a copy of the daily news, you are satisfied!"

Du He laughed.

This little eunuch is too good, much better than Zhao Yang.

Du He nodded with satisfaction: "So, there is Mr. Lao Ximen, your house has been prepared for you, Linhe Villa, you are satisfied."

When Ximen Qing heard it, can we also live in a small villa near the river?
It's better to be the Marquis of Huyi County.

Immediately, Du He asked someone to lead Ximen Qing to live in a villa that had been vacant for a long time on the edge of the Bahe River, and then quietly asked someone to carry a large box over. In addition to the three thousand strings, there were also many rare treasures. Alien treasures, those are priceless treasures in the eyes of outsiders, but to Du He, they are worthless, because these things are made by those few counterfeiters in the research and development center.

In the villa.

Ximen Qing's face burst into a smile, like a chrysanthemum, and he said with satisfaction: "Houyi County Hou is really good at being a man. In this world, there is no such sensible person as Huyi County Hou!"

Although he is a close confidant of His Majesty Li Er, his status is very different from that of Chief Executive Zhao Yang.

So, not to mention a majestic Marquis like Du He, even a sixth-rank official would not be polite to him.

In contrast, Ximen Qing felt that Du He was like a god, bringing light and warmth to himself.

Ximen Qing is also a fine person. When his subordinates sent today's iron quantity, Ximen Qing made a little trick and lost two thousand catties without anyone noticing.

Immediately, Zhao Yang visited Du He alone in the courtyard where Du He lived in the name of collecting money for His Majesty Li Er.

As soon as he saw Du He, Ximen Qing looked around and saw that there was no one around, then stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Houyi County Marquis, I kindly remind you that this time, although His Majesty appointed me as a supervisor this time, I Guess, I'm afraid His Majesty sent others to hide in the dark, so you'd better be more careful!"

Du He laughed: "I, Du He, have done a good job, so I have to be more careful. Manager Ximen is too worried."

"It's the best!" Ximen Qing said.

After Ximen Qing left, Du He called Zhang Jian to inquire.

Zhang Jian nodded: "Young master, you are really good at predicting things. Since last night, there have been many masters around Mengmeng for a few days, all of whom come and go without a trace. R&D center."

Du He thought of Ximenqing's reminder just now, and said: "I understand, go tell Lu Yuan and Lao Yuan, give them half a day, move the workshop for making hot water tablets to the Bahe River, an open place, The more obvious the better, the area of ​​the research and development center is already narrow, so many people squeezed in at once, my young master is worried about potential safety hazards..."

"Master, is it necessary?"

Du He laughed and said: "Don't forget, there are still many people in the court who don't like this young master. One thing more is worse than one thing less. Let's make a fortune in silence."

Jingle.

ding ding dong.

With the continuous supply of iron resources, Dream Group's momentum in building hot water tablets has become stronger.

……

Sikong House.

in the library.

In the past few days, Changsun Wuji has been infected with the wind and cold, and his face is still pale, so he eats and sleeps in the study room, enjoying the warmth brought by hot water tablets, and does not go anywhere or go to other places. As for what happened outside, he didn't know anything.

The housekeeper, Wang Fu, ran into the study happily, and said to Zhangsun Wuji, "Master, good news, good news..."

"What good news?" Changsun Wuji asked as he continued to write without raising his head.

Wang Fu maintained his bright smile, and said, "Master, the craftsmen of Dream Group have come and sent the remaining three sets of hot water tablets, saying that they will install them for us now."

pat.

Changsun Wuji raised his head at once, and the writing brush fell on the table, completely destroying the white paper.

When he ordered eight sets of hot water tablets, he wanted to install them in various important places in Sikong Mansion and the house he lived in.

But after installing five sets a few days ago, Dream Group delayed for two days due to lack of iron.

Changsun Wuji knows that all the iron in Chang'an City has been bought up by Dream Group, and the only one who still sells iron is Changsun's family.

So he handed over the matter to Changsun Chong, and let Changsun Chong and Du He compete.

Now, the hot water tablets have arrived, proving that Chong'er has succeeded.

"Okay, okay, as expected of my eldest grandson Wuji's son, Chong'er has grown up, and Chong'er has not let me down... Tell me, how much iron did Chong'er sell to Du He, and at the market price?" Changsun Wuji was full of joy.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions!

In an instant, Changsun Wuji felt that his illness was cured.

Wang Fu widened his eyes and said, "Master... the young master hasn't told you yet, Du He's iron does not belong to our eldest grandson's family, but His Majesty sold it to Du He at twice the market price. The young master was waiting for it at the beginning. Du He came to the Sikong Mansion to talk, but who would have thought that Du He would find another way to bypass us... Moreover, the young master bought all the iron in Chang'an City at a high price in order to attack Du He, so the Sikong Mansion would at least lose money. 2 guan..."

"..."

"Create a crime, make a crime..."

Changsun Wuji murmured to himself, and suddenly felt that he was sick again.

It's nothing to lose [-] guan, but he was angry because such a big thing happened, and Chang Sun Chong didn't know he would say it to himself.

"This scoundrel..."

Changsun Wuji suddenly felt that his condition had worsened several times.
