Chapter 247 God Bless My Five Surnames and Seven Hopes!
For a moment, the entire courtyard burst into roars!
"Do justice for heaven!"
"Do justice for heaven!"
"Do justice for heaven!"
"good!"
Wang Jing clenched his fist and raised it high, "Here comes someone!"
The housekeeper ran over quickly and said with a flattering smile, "Sir, what's the matter?"
"Pass my order to the entire Wang family in Taiyuan: sell half of the family's property and purchase all the standard steel on the market!"
"ah?!"
Upon hearing this, the old housekeeper was stunned, and then said in horror, "Master, why are you still obsessed..."
"Huh? Are you teaching me how to do something?"
Wang Jing glared at him coldly, "If you contradict the master, what should you do as a slave? I don't need to say more, right?"
"Master, have mercy!"
The old housekeeper quickly knelt down, raised his hand, and exerted force~~
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
A slap on the left, a slap on the right...
After being slapped eighteen times in a row, he finally stopped, looked up at Wang Jing with a smile and said, "Master, do you think this is possible?"
"Hmph!...What did you want to say just now?"
Wang Jing glanced sideways at the old butler. In fact, this old butler was one of his confidants and had always been very efficient in doing things. Of course, there were many talented people in the Wang family. After all, the family had a big business and could afford to support them.
But... it was this old housekeeper who was most submissive to him in order to let his daughter into his room as his concubine.
Easy to use and convenient!
The old housekeeper gave a flattering smile, and then said, "Master, haven't we... already accumulated a lot of fine iron?"
"Haha. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you..."
Soon, Wang Jing recounted what happened during the morning court meeting.
The contents of the edict and subsequent rumors...
The old housekeeper was stunned, but he did not show surprise. Instead, he said in horror, "Master, if we sell this fine iron... wouldn't it... be tantamount to treason..."
"shut up!"
Wang Jing gave a sharp shout and glared at the old housekeeper.
"Treason? You were born with mud legs, but under the protection of my Wang family, you read a few books and avoided famine... and you came to teach me the art of treason?"
"I tell you!"
"This Li Er is a foolish king. We are planning to get rid of this foolish king. This is patriotic! Do you understand?"
The old housekeeper was stunned, thinking for a while, and suddenly understood.
The whole person suddenly put on a smile, and said in surprise, "I am still taller! This is not only treason, but also justice for heaven!"
"Hahaha!"
"You ignorant, stupid dog, you actually know the principles of acting for heaven... For the sake of acting for heaven, I won't pursue the crime of contradicting you just now. Go and do it for me immediately!"
"No matter how high the price of iron is, no matter what channel, I have to buy it all!"
"Remember, not a single bit of iron should go directly into the hands of foreigners!"
"Hahaha!"
"Li Er is such a fool. He actually gave something as important as meteorite iron to the people to make farm tools... farm tools? Hahaha!"
"Now, let's see how this foolish Li Er ends up!"
Wang Jing and others laughed again.
This opportunity is so rare!
Not only can it ruin Li Er's luck, but it can also recover all the assets that the Five Surnames, Qiwang and other aristocratic families lost in the past few days!
"God has blessed me with the fifth surname and Qiwang! Hahaha!"
…
Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
Precisely because it is the capital of the country, Chang'an's economy and culture are far more developed than those of other states and counties.
There is already a rudimentary commodity economy.
Of course, in Li Sheng's eyes, Chang'an's commodity economy, even if the curfew is lifted, is still at the level of the township night market during its peak period, or even worse...
But anyway.
With such a foundation, the people of Chang'an naturally have more time to chat.
But there is nothing to talk about. After all, Zhulu Tianxia ended more than ten years ago, and the Turks have not come recently. Most of the people don't understand what happened in the court.
No, everyone knows this - it's destiny!
It spread all over the place immediately.
After all, people are working hard to get by, and who of the people still doesn’t believe in ghosts and gods?
This time, Ziwei Star dropped meteorites to support His Majesty, and the topic was astonishingly lively.
Back and forth, various versions...
That night, all the people in Chang'an firmly believed in the legend of "The Iron of the Chosen King".
However, most people in the Tang Dynasty were still simple in character.
He has great trust in Li Er, which can be seen from the smoothness of the Xuanwu Gate incident, and there are many people leading the way.
Now that God has chosen to protect Li Er, the people's entertainment topics are entertainment topics, but most people are definitely not willing to part with the fine steel products they just obtained.
Who knows the quality of this thing? The embroidery needle can be used as a nail, and the hoe can be used as an axe.
Highlight a strong and durable!
And because it is so strong, it can also be made very light and labor-saving!
The trust and support for Li Er, and the fact that farm tools are also used to eat, naturally make it impossible for people on the market to easily sell the stainless steel products in their hands.
but……
Just because you won't sell it "easily" doesn't mean you won't sell it.
It is not possible to say how determined this will is.
After all...didn't His Majesty say everything in that edict?
Anyway, as long as this thing is still in the Tang Dynasty, it will still be regarded as His Majesty's luck.
So as long as the price is high, we won't sell it to foreigners, but we can sell it to the Han people of the Tang Dynasty?
Of course, generally speaking, for the common people, these things must not be sold unless the price is ridiculously high.
at first……
No common people would think that someone was buying this fine iron in large quantities.
But soon, within a few days... the people of Chang'an discovered that the price of standard steel on the market began to rise quietly...
It seems that there is an invisible hand secretly holding the price of fine steel higher and higher.
At the same time, I don’t know when, more and more fine iron items, the same kind of fine iron as before, are gradually being sold on the market...and the prices are extremely low!
It seems as if the owner of Fine Iron is anxious to raise money.
Of course, ordinary people don’t understand the specific behind-the-scenes logic.
Anyway...
Replacement of fine steel with fine iron, although it is not as easy to use as fine steel, but every household has made a small fortune through it, which is not bad...
Gradually, not long after, many people sold the fine steel in their hands.
Gradually, no trace of fine steel began to be found in the entire Chang'an...
Li Er's blast furnace steel plant has also been closed for a long time...
At this time, it became clear to the world that Li Er's steel must have really fallen into iron. There could be nothing wrong. Otherwise, why would the steel plant be shut down?
There are only some vague rumors, and it seems that there are still mysterious sellers on the black market, who are constantly selling fine steel...
When this situation occurs, some people are happy and some are worried.
But the Tibetan mission is definitely the most anxious.
