The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1272
"Tell them, the maximum is [-]%, otherwise let them go to another house, and don't threaten people with the court, don't they know what they are doing?" Xuan Shijing said.

Although Xuan Shijing only proposed to build a new palace, according to the historical trajectory, no matter whether Xuan Shijing mentioned it or not, the new palace on Longshouyuan must be built. Many people in Chang'an City know that this Xuanwu Tower The master behind it is him, Xuan Shijing, and the people from the Ministry of Industry approached Qiandui, but they suppressed the materials by [-]%. Do you think that since Xuan Shijing proposed this idea, he will definitely promote the construction of the new palace? ?

Even if it makes your own business lose money?

As long as Qiandui takes the lead in suppressing the price, will other merchants in Chang'an City follow suit?
It's nothing, how many people does the chamber of commerce under Qiandui support?Once the business of the chamber of commerce goes wrong, how many people will lose a job to support their families?

The Chamber of Commerce's management of materials is not a small business, and this business also supports a lot of people. If the business loses money, the Chamber of Commerce will pay the money, and the business will be wiped out first.

A business is like a ship. The bigger the ship, the more crew members on board. Once the ship is silent, the crew members on board will also suffer.

The people in the Ministry of Industry never thought that once the price is lowered, the merchants cannot bear the loss, and the business cannot be done. Chang'an City will have countless idle people for no reason, what should we do?Send them all to Longshouyuan to do corvee?
"Yes." Qian Dui replied, "It's just that he returned to the Ministry of Industry so hard."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest." Xuan Shijing said in a deep voice, "This happened just after His Majesty's order to build a new palace was issued. Although the people in the Ministry of Industry are diligent, they are too diligent. It's too much to make people wonder if they really want to help His Majesty build the new palace, and the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs, tomorrow's court, it's interesting."

Having said this, Xuan Shijing sneered.

Perhaps this matter was only caused by people from the Ministry of Industry, or perhaps it was caused by the joint efforts of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs, but no matter who it is, it will undoubtedly delay the construction of the new palace and make Chang'an The merchants in the city were panicked and had no idea. The purchase of materials must be delayed. Without materials, what did the 12 corvees on Longshouyuan use to build the palace?

Xuan Shijing didn't mind bringing this matter up to His Majesty Li Er. I believe that there will be many people in the court to support him. After all, this is a matter of profit, and Xuan Shijing's family is not the only one who does business in Chang'an City.

Either the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households will bite each other in court, or the price will be [-]% lower than the market price given by Xuan Shijing, otherwise some officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households will surely become the target of public criticism.

It is not so easy to take a bite out of Xungui's body.

Thinking about it, the businessmen who have been in contact with the Ministry of Industry have already started to tell their masters or backers about this matter. Perhaps this matter does not need Xuan Shijing to come forward, and someone in the court will naturally bring up this matter and send the worker The Ministry gave back.

"How many businessmen has the Ministry of Industry contacted in Chang'an City?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"There are quite a few, twenty or thirty." Qiandui said.

"Twenty or thirty companies, I really don't know that Chang'an City has so many large material merchants, and those who can expand their business in Chang'an City, how can they be idlers? No one behind them can't justify it." Xuan Shijing laughed and said: "If you come to me, who will they come to?"

"Master Hou is saying that they will go to their backers or their masters, and the people behind them will put pressure on the Ministry of Industry?" Qian Dui said: "In that way, the power of these businessmen after being arrested cannot be underestimated. Watch."

"People don't fight with officials, but when officials fight, it's not an ordinary fight." Xuan Shijing said: "Although it is not clear what is going on between the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, but tomorrow morning, the two It is certain that the officials of the ministry will be involved in the capital." Xuan Shijing said: "Let's hold on to this matter for now, [-]% is the bottom line, talk slowly, and see the direction of the court, how much can those merchants under the nobles make? , In this regard, we follow the trend, otherwise our life will not be too easy if this matter passes away."

"Yes." Qiandui replied.

Qian Dui came to Zhuangzi to meet Xuan Shijing because the Ministry of Industry asked the chamber of commerce to lower the price. He had no control over this matter, so he came to seek Xuan Shijing's opinion.

It is a good thing to want to save money for the government, but it is not a good thing to bully businessmen excessively.

If the businessman is holding his neck and refuses to supply you with materials, can the Ministry of Industry go and snatch it by force?
His Majesty Li Er is very happy about the construction of the new palace. It is a very happy thing that this matter is completed. If the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households spoil His Majesty Li Er's interest because of this, you can imagine what will happen. It will be as good as it gets.

Now that Qiandui has come, Xuan Shijing can't let him go for nothing, and ask Qiandui to send some of the existing materials to Zhuangzi in Dongshan County for the time being. How about a place to live?

Not only Xiao Yu's residence, but the number of students in the college will continue to increase in the future. They must not be allowed to live in the inn in Dongshan County Market. First, Xiao Yu's residence will be built, and the rest will be planned slowly. .

"Go to the engineering college for me and find some masons. I will look for the rest of the staff on the Zhuangzi." Xuan Shijing said: "We will build another house on the Zhuangzi."

"Yes." Qian Dui replied: "It's just that most of the craftsmen of the Engineering College have been transferred to Longshouyuan, this."

"After all, the construction of the new palace hasn't officially started yet, and it's just doing some foundation laying work. The masons won't be needed for the time being, and the blueprints for the palace don't have a drawing yet." Xuan Shijing said.

Now that the 12 corvée is enlisted, the reason is to take advantage of the season to do what can be done first, and then go back to have a good year, and it will continue in the coming year. In the autumn and winter seasons, the Yan family brothers can also get the blueprints of the palace. His Majesty Li Er will also finalize the blueprints. After the beginning of spring, it will be a major event for farming, and the work at Longshouyuan will not resume until the work in the field is over.

Xuan Shijing's side is also at the cutting edge, otherwise, what else can I do?Let Xiao Yu continue to live in Gao Shilian's house?Even if the two of them had no objection, Xuan Shijing felt very sorry.

In the afternoon, Xuan Shijing went to the academy as usual, and talked about it with Gao Shilian in his spare time.

"If it is really the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households who want to profit from it, I am afraid that they will offend too many nobles in the court." Gao Shilian sighed: "The backers behind the merchants in Chang'an City may not work in the court. But the relationship itself is not as complicated as usual, if it is only for the saving of the national treasury, it is not a serious problem, and it is just a will of His Majesty to solve it."
