Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 151 Want to see a joke?
"Lang Jun, in the past few days, because the Qin family has purchased a large amount of grain, the price of grain in the West Market has risen by [-]%. Many merchants have not given price discounts to the Qin family's behavior of buying grain in large quantities, but have demanded an increase. price.

It is estimated that Qin Xiedao is going to be very angry. "

In Wang's tea shop, Wang Zhongqi followed Wang Kun who came to inspect the situation, and reported some good news she had heard.

Because the "Datang News" under the Qin family supported Cao's tea shop, the business of Wang's tea shop became much worse.

Therefore, the conflict between the Taiyuan Wang family and the Qin family has been settled.

"Building a new palace, this kind of thing, all dynasties need the power of the whole country to complete. Look at the Shanglin Garden or Afang Palace of the First Emperor, the Weiyang Palace of the Han Dynasty, and the Daxing Palace built by the previous dynasty. Which one was not built at that time? The emperor went all out to push forward to complete it?
Now that Qin Xiedao wants to build a palace by himself, it is really whimsical.

It is right to let him try a little hard now. "

Sure enough, after listening to Wang Zhongqi's words, Wang Kun smiled a little more on his face.

The life of my family is not easy, but if there is someone who is more difficult than myself, the life seems to be better again.

The human mind is so strange.

"That's true! Even if Qin Xiedao obtained more than 5 yuan through the transfer of cement technology, it is still a drop in the bucket when it comes to building the palace.

Is it possible that he can still come up with something like cement every day to collect technology transfer fees? "

Wang Zhongqi looked a little gloating.

"I listen to the book and will be the supervisor. Now I am helping the Qin family to build various workshops such as cement workshops, blue brick workshops, glazed tile workshops, iron-making workshops, and porcelain workshops. It is estimated that after the completion of these workshops, the tens of thousands of coins will be gone. How much is left?"

"Hey, if the Qin family is willing to transfer the production technology of Baiyunbian and white sugar, it is estimated that they can get back tens of thousands of guan, or even 10,000+ guan.

I just don't know if Qin Xiedao will be willing or not. "

Wang Zhongqi was obviously greedy for the Qin family's profitable businesses for a long time.

Unique business is the most profitable, of course Wang Zhongqi knows this better than anyone else.

"Let's take a look first, maybe there will be such a day."

……

"Shopkeeper Kong, the money earned by Sanlian Bookstore is probably lost to those refugees. It's really satisfying."

Inside the Qufu bookstore, Kong Wenming came to Kong Zhiqiang with a face full of gloating.

Everyone has seen the abnormal fluctuations in grain prices in West Market these days.

In previous years, food prices in March and April were often relatively high, but they would definitely not be as exaggerated as this year.

"Hmph, Qin Dalang is so big that he actually resettled all the refugees outside the city into various workshops or under the banner of Datang Construction Engineering. It's exhausting."

Kong Zhiqiang naturally knew the news that Kong Wenming could hear.

During this period of time, the construction of the new palace was almost the hottest news in Chang'an City.

Originally, when the imperial court suddenly wanted to build a palace, it would often attract a lot of criticism, and various censors came to the stage one after another to gain fame and curse people.

But this time things are a little different.

Except for the [-] mu of land that the imperial court gave out, most of it was still wasteland, and the rest really didn't give out a penny.

In this way, even if Yu Shitai wanted to impeach, it would be difficult to impeach.

Is it impossible to impeach Qin Xiedao to take the initiative to share the country's worries, and in order to solve the problem of refugees outside Chang'an City, he specifically proposed a plan to build a palace?
Although the censor is shameless, he still has to explain the basic truth.

"I'm very curious about how that Qin Dalang will solve it in the end. Since entering the workshop, many refugees have called for friends and companions, attracting more refugees to come.

It is estimated that in half a month, Qin Xiedao will need to absorb at least tens of thousands of refugees, otherwise the situation outside Chang'an City will continue to deteriorate.

He is definitely shooting himself in the foot with a rock. "

Kong Wenming felt that this problem was almost unsolvable.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were countless people who couldn't get enough to eat.

If you can eat and eat as long as you go to Qin Xiedao's workshop, then many people who are not refugees will take the initiative to become refugees.

"What you said makes sense, but now that it's spring plowing, except for those who know they can't make it through, others should not be refugees anymore.

After all, once you become a refugee, your life will no longer be guaranteed.If Qin Xiedao no longer wants people, those refugees will really not be able to survive. "

Comparing his heart to his heart, Kong Zhiqiang felt that even if he was a farmer, as long as he still had a mouthful of food, he would not be willing to be a refugee with his current family business.

The refugees these days are not the kind of migrant workers in later generations.

Everyone's social status, although they are all at the bottom.

But the political status is quite different.

"Whether it will continue to increase or not, it is a problem for the Qin family to buy a sufficient amount of food anyway. Unless they are willing to accept the price increase, they will still have to be scolded.

The people in Chang'an City also suffered, and they wanted to buy high-priced food. With a little guidance, these crimes would all be added to Qin Xiedao's head. "

"Well, you can guide me appropriately in this regard."

……

"Aye, there should be a lot of grain in the granary in our house. When the autumn harvest comes, we may have to build a new granary to store it. Why don't you take some out and sell it?"

In the Yang residence, Yang Yan took the initiative to talk to Yang Shidao.

As a direct descendant of the Hongnong Yang family, the Yang family naturally has no shortage of food.

Even if there is a famine in Datang for a few years, the Yang family will not be short of food.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, there are actually quite a few situations like the Yang family.

Aristocratic family, if people don't have any ability to inherit, how can it be possible to become a family that lasts for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years?

"Yan'er, it's not impossible to sell grain. But right now, those grain merchants have just driven up the price of grain. If we take the initiative to open warehouses to sell grain, we will offend them all."

"Our family has a lot of food, why don't we sell it?"

"It's inappropriate to sell to outsiders. If that Qin Xiedao came to our Yang Mansion on his own initiative and wanted to borrow food from us, we can lend it to him."

Yang Shidao glanced at Yang Yan.

Knowing a daughter is like a father.

Yang Shidao naturally knew what Yang Yan was thinking.

"Aye, well, what are you talking about Qin Xiedao doing?"

Yang Yan turned her head away, pretending to be nonchalant.

But the blush on her face betrayed her.
