The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1296

Just a joke, the Ministry of Industry sent people south to buy materials?How much did it cost, the people in the Ministry of Industry don't know?Which is a good deal, are they sure?

As for the threat Yan Lide said, the materials in Guanzhong are produced continuously, and they can't buy them all the time, but they can occupy the market in Chang'an City. If some people want the business of Xingong, they will grab the business in Chang'an City. There is still a place to sell the materials, once they come in and out, most of the time they can be flat. As long as they are consumed, the Ministry of Industry will lose patience sooner or later. Coupled with the active efforts of the government, it will still compromise in the end.

Even if the imperial court does not compromise, then they will follow Xuan Shijing's example and keep the materials in their own Zhuangzi, build the Zhuangzi, and sell them to the farmers on the Zhuangzi. In short, there are many ways out, regardless of the Ministry of Industry.

These material suppliers are in a stalemate with the Ministry of Industry. The ball is getting bigger and bigger, and they are getting more and more anxious. There is always a bottom line for people's psychological defense. As the chamber of commerce invests more and more money in it, The psychological defense of these shopkeepers is also getting weaker and weaker, and several of them can't stand it anymore, and have already started to send posts to Yan Lide's residence.

Yan Lide naturally received them happily.

They took the initiative to hand over the post before the agreed time, which showed that they were about to be overwhelmed.

If all the merchants in Chang'an City were huddled together like a railroad, the imperial court really had nothing to do with them. Whether they traded with the Ministry of Industry according to the market price, or set prices from the ground, the Ministry of Industry would have no temper.

But not all businessmen value profit more than life, and not all businessmen will not come to trouble.

Many people know that there is never any harm in building a good relationship with the imperial court. This is the idea of ​​the shrewd businessmen among them. If they gain benefits and offend the officials, they don't have any backing, so why bother?Even if there is a backer, what good is there to offend the court?Among the nobles in Chang'an City, whose family is short of money?

After all, it is still a greedy word.

And those who dare to fight against the Ministry of Industry have their own masters behind them, and these masters are not afraid of the Ministry of Industry and accept dead money.

Dongshan County, Xuan Family Mansion.

"Grandpa, this is what happened in Chang'an City in the past two days." Gao Jun said.

"There are always some businessmen who are dead money, and there are always some nobles who are dead money." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "I admire their persistence."

"If things go on like this, Longshouyuan is still a little embarrassed. Although a few merchants have turned against each other and offered [-]% of the price, there will still be some small problems if they don't dig out the materials accumulated in the hands of these merchants years ago. , but as long as the year is over, there will be no problem at all, now the urgent thing is time." Gao Jun said.

"Gao Jun, you and Chang Le will go to Chang'an, take a few Jinyi guards with you, check those stubborn businessmen, who are the masters behind them, and tell me when you come back." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, Lord." Gao Jun replied.

In fact, there is no need to investigate too carefully, as long as you go to the Xuanwu Building and ask Qiandui, you may know everything. Qiandui has been hanging around in Chang'an City for many years, and the details of the major merchants in Chang'an City are probably also known.

"My lord, what do you plan to do after finding out who is behind these people?" Gao Jun asked.

"It's easy, go ask Your Majesty." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "The masters behind these businessmen are not afraid of the Ministry of Industry and the court, so they must have a certain status. It's not a good thing. Take this opportunity to build a step for His Majesty, find an excuse, and beat some people well. Besides, I am also the supervisor of the new palace. If there is any problem with the new palace, I can't run away. So, it’s better to do your best, if you don’t do it for yourself, it’s heaven and earth, not to mention that I’m not only for myself, but also for the court.”

When Xuan Shijing talked about these merchants with Qiandui in Chang'an, he didn't know much about these merchants. He only knew that some merchants had masters behind them. Although the masters did not serve in the court, they had a great influence on His Majesty Li Er.

For example, those old nobles back then, or the relatives of Li Tang's royal family.

If these ginsengs were incorporated, even if His Majesty came forward, it might not be an easy task.

Headache, an old guy like this doesn't stay at home to enjoy his old age, but runs out to do something, and even participates in the construction of the new palace. Could it be that he dislikes himself for living too long?The net will cause trouble.

If these old guys are really determined to fight against Xuan Shijing and the Ministry of Works, Xuan Shijing really has nothing to do.

I hope not.

It's just that in this world, there are few things that go well and many things that go against your wishes.

According to the news from Chang'an, behind those stubborn businessmen, there are these old nobles, especially the offshoots of Li Tang's royal family. When it comes to seniority, His Majesty Li Er has to call uncle.

With a "bang", Xuan Shijing slapped the table with a slap: "These old things!"

"Grandpa calm down." Gao Jun cupped his hands and said, "Didn't you say that you will hand over this matter to Your Majesty?"

"Leave it to His Majesty?" Xuan Shijing sneered: "It is said to be handed over to His Majesty, and these people went to His Majesty to disturb His Majesty, and I was the one who was criticized in the end! These people are one by one, and they can't help Datang. It’s fine if you’re busy, and you’re still jumping out to confront the court at this time.”

Xuan Shijing calmed down for a long time, and then said: "Gao Jun, take the carriage, let's go to the palace to see His Majesty."

"Your Majesty is not afraid of being reprimanded by His Majesty?" Gao Jun asked.

"What are you afraid of? Is it my fault?" Xuan Shijing asked back: "This time, by taking this opportunity, I have to deal with them properly!"

Xuan Shijing was furious this time, these businessmen in Chang'an City were manipulated by them, so many things were delayed, and how much effort he and the Ministry of Industry were wasted!Back and forth, either the Ministry of Industry dealt with it, or he, Xuan Shijing, dealt with it. The matter of the businessman's materials dragged on for more than a month and still hasn't been resolved.

Xuan Shijing has never been a kind person, since those merchants want to hoard goods to live in, then Xuan Shijing let them hoard!Stock up hard!Stock up, don't cry!

The carriage traveled along the avenue of Dongshan County towards Chang'an City.

Chang'an, Imperial Palace, Ganlu Hall.

"Report to Your Majesty, Duke Xuan seeks an audience." The small yellow gate outside Ganlu Hall entered the hall to report.

"Hehe, Jing'er? He's become a rare guest. It's rare to see him. Let him in." His Majesty Li Er said.

"No." Xiao Huangmen responded and left.

After a while, Xuan Shijing walked into the Ganlu Hall, bowed all the way, and walked into the hall with his hands clasped.

"Chen Xuan Shijing, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Free from courtesy." His Majesty Li Er raised his head and said, "Why, come all the way from your comfort zone to the palace, what's the matter? Deyi, give me a seat."
