Chapter 245 Is this several strategies used together?
Li Er still couldn't understand what Li Sheng meant, but he had already asked this question, so let's ask again... It's embarrassing!
My father's dignity... was shattered to pieces.
Don’t ask... How can this strategy be implemented?
So Li Er had no choice but to stand up, squat down next to Li Sheng's legs, and beat Li Sheng's legs... Wei Zheng and others reacted very quickly and rushed over one by one.
Those who beat their legs beat their legs, those who pinch their shoulders pinch their shoulders...
Li Er smiled flatteringly, "Well, sir... Old Li has little education and is still stupid. Don't you want to sell steel? Why are you issuing an edict not to sell it?"
"Don't sell it, then the resources of Tubo...can't be given away to us for nothing, right?"
Li Sheng felt comfortable being pinched by the few guys, and finally smiled with satisfaction.
"Old Li, Old Li, you are the only one who wants to be a wealthy businessman in Chang'an. You are not a businessman but a traitor... I think you are just exaggerating. Listen up!"
"Don't sell it, just to sell it at a high price!"
"Only those things that are not allowed to be sold will be considered the most valuable by others!"
"As long as Li Er, what about Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling...their acting skills are good enough to make the Tubo people believe...this iron is really meteorite iron dropped from the sky. And meteorite iron dropped from the sky really represents Qi, and is the symbol of He Chuanguo
Something like a jade seal. Then..."
"They will buy it back at any cost!"
Li Sheng finished speaking.
Li Er and others were stunned.
Several hands, squeezing shoulders and beating legs... stopped in mid-air at the same time.
"Sir, this is..."
"Play hard to get..."
"Hoarding..."
"There is a price but no market..."
"Oh my God, this...are there several strategies used together?!"
Wei Zheng was completely shocked.
This young master's plan is simply terrifying.
This is to trap the Tubo people to death!
Originally, they thought that no matter how high the quality of this standard steel was, it had become popular in the Tang Dynasty. If they wanted to sell it at a high price... of course, high prices in the general sense were also possible.
For example... Ordinary fine iron sells for one price, so our standard steel sells for two! Taking into account the difficulty in transshipment, this and that... selling for three, there is no problem.
But if you want to sell it for 30 guan, it’s definitely a waste of money.
Can……
If we follow Li Sheng's plan.
This was originally just high-quality and low-priced standard steel, but suddenly it became a national treasure, equivalent to things like the national jade seal and the Heshi Bi.
Then, things are completely different!
Aren’t the Tubo people ambitious?
Since you are so ambitious, then...why don't you buy up such an ambitious thing quickly?
This strategy...
Absolutely amazing!
For a moment, Li Er and others were completely stunned, and then... they beat their legs and squeezed their shoulders even harder!
Li Er just wanted to laugh at this moment.
With my son here, how can we, the Tang Dynasty, not be prosperous?!
In the future, we can conquer all the territories and rebuild the glory of Qin and Han Dynasty, just around the corner!
My son has the appearance of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty!
I, Li Er, said it!
…
The next day.
Early in the morning...
Following a commotion at the Zhuque Gate, soon... hundreds of officials from the Tang Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty filed out of the palace.
then……
On this very night.
An extremely explosive news began to spread in the streets and alleys of Chang'an, among the neighbors...
On this day, His Majesty issued an edict.
The whole country is aware that no one is allowed to sell refined steel to foreigners.
This fine steel is made from meteorite iron that fell from the sky, and the total amount is limited.
Now your Majesty uses this iron to refine weapons and farm tools to benefit the people, enrich our warehouses, and strengthen our people's hearts.
Anyone who sells fine steel to foreigners will be severely punished!
Li Er announced this news directly in front of hundreds of officials in the court hall.
And at the same time, he also sternly denounced the traitorous act, and if anyone is found to have committed the crime again in the future...
All of you are waiting for me!
Li Er used his excellent acting skills to make people angry all day long. Of course, the script of this speech was also written by Li Sheng...
On this day, all officials remained silent, and no one dared to object.
Just kidding, this meteorite is an auspicious gift from God!
Moreover, it is a great auspicious thing and can be refined into fine steel utensils, weapons, agricultural tools... which are popular all over the country.
Anyone who dares to sell their own country on a large scale is no different from rebelling?
If you haven't seen His Majesty's face, it's simply terrifying.
Moreover, His Majesty said that this meteorite came from the Ziwei star in the sky.
What kind of star is Ziwei Star? It’s the Emperor Star!
If you dare to sell the meteorite iron that came down from the Ziwei Star to foreign countries, wouldn't you be wishing that the Tang Dynasty would die soon?
Most officials, of course, had no such intention.
After hearing Li Er's reprimand and warning, I was just a little nervous.
but……
There is never a shortage of thoughtful people for everything in the world.
While Li Er strictly ordered not to sell fine steel, many officials were rolling their eyes and their minds were agitated...
Soon, many people thought of the Tibetan mission not long ago!
This mission is still operating in Chang'an City.
These guys came here for the King of Tubo, so they must covet these standard steels very much...
This thing is only found in the homes of some farmers, and even among the imperial guards.
We can't touch the things belonging to the Imperial Guard.
But purchasing farmers' homes is not simple...
However, although many officials are secretly thinking about this business, after all...
You can't show up yourself.
But with the support of an aristocratic family, this matter is different. There are plenty of manpower to do things secretly.
Why worry about being unprofitable?
This news, naturally...
Soon, the news also reached a mansion in the south of Chang'an City.
"Brother Wang!"
"Brother Wang!!!!"
"Brother Wang, are you at home? I have something to do with you!"
"Master Pei, no, where is the master?"
"Brother Wang! Brother Wang?"
A group of old men burst into the Wang family's mansion with noisy and quick steps.
soon……
Wang Jing's face appeared in the courtyard.
Looking pale and a little weak...
When I saw a few old friends, I forced a smile...
"I've been feeling cold recently, and I guess it's gone... Thank you so much for remembering me... It's great to have all of you good brothers..."
Wang Jing reluctantly said hello to these old friends in a tone that was almost as if he was explaining the funeral arrangements.
But before he finished speaking, Wang Jing's words suddenly got stuck in his throat.
Well……
wait.
Aren't these old guys also bedridden recently?
Why are everyone so lively today?
"Brother Wang, we have great news for you..."
Lu Changgeng's face was flushed, and he was about to get down to business when suddenly a hearty laughter came from outside the courtyard.
"Brother Wang, Pei is here!"
"There is great news today, I want to tell Brother Wang!"
Wang Jing was stunned again, and the other old men also looked at Pei Ji.
"Brother Pei, you are here!"
"Master, you came at the right time!"
"Master, today's event is a great joy..."
"Master Pei, I'm so grateful to you!"
Pei Ji chuckled and looked at the haggard Wang Jing.
