Chapter 250 I'm waiting for the five surnames and seven hope to make a comeback!
Cui Baihe's sigh immediately resonated, and there was a sudden silence in the courtyard. The sound of the dancing girl playing the piano in the courtyard seemed unusually abrupt.
Cui Baihe was not moaning without illness, otherwise he would not have left everyone speechless.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Changgeng also let out a long sigh.
"Sigh... the average price of this fine iron is fifty guan, but now it can be sold for less than one hundred guan. Now it has been replaced with this standard steel, and it costs more than 200 guan, which is more expensive than the original 90 guan.
It’s more than doubled.”
"well……"
Mr. Zheng Taishan also sighed, "Since we received and sold this fine iron, we have almost lost all the food at home. Now it has been replaced by standard steel. To be honest, it is just a different way to hold it...
"
For a moment, the courtyard was silent.
That's right...
Even if it is replaced with standard steel and sold to the Tibetan people, it is just selling the unsold refined iron in stock...
In fact, no losses were recovered at all.
"This little gold and silver is only equivalent to one or two percent of the original grain, I'm afraid it's not even..."
For a time, there were sighs in the courtyard. Although it was sold to the Tibetan people, more than 200 guans were collected and 300 guans were sold, so there was almost no profit.
A hundred guan of grain became a guan, and now it is just a guan and a hundred pence!
It’s just a drop in the bucket!
but……
At this moment, Wang Jing's eyes had regained clarity.
Profound and full of wisdom...
Then, he smiled lightly.
"Brothers, listen to Wang. This matter is not a big problem!"
"Not a big problem?"
"Brother Wang, how do you say this?"
Hearing Wang Jing's tone, Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe, Lu Changgeng, Zheng Taishan and others were startled.
Could it be...
Is there any chance of a turning point in this matter?!
Then, Wang Jing slowly nodded and said with a smile, "Everyone, we really only have gold and silver in our hands at this moment."
"In this transaction, we were eager to buy it and offered a high price. Most of the profits were taken away by the dirtbags in the countryside. This is true."
"but!"
"Don't forget, what are these standard steels? This is the Holy Iron of Destiny!"
Wang Jing's voice trembled when he mentioned the four words "Holy Iron of Destiny".
Several old men were also shaken at the same time.
yes……
This is destiny.
Ziwei star, meteorite falling from the sky, this is a gift specially given to the true king.
A fierce smile appeared on Cui Baihe's face,
"Hmph! Although we were defeated this time,... the Holy Iron has already been in the hands of the Tubo people. Now that their carriage has set off, even if Li Er has the help of a demon, he can't even think of chasing it back!"
As soon as Cui Baihe finished speaking, everyone nodded!
"good!"
"What Brother Cui said is absolutely true!"
"Although we are bleeding, but... we can take away Li Er's destiny, so what does this loss mean?"
"At this moment, it is the most righteous thing to pull down Li Er. Since it is the most righteous thing at the moment, I can't wait to scatter more money and less land, so what does it matter?!"
Once this section was figured out, everyone became excited again.
As long as we can pull down this monster Li Er,
In the future, won’t you come back after all your money is gone?
The power of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes is so great that it can be said that they are intertwined throughout the entire Tang Dynasty.
"Yes, I feel very relieved that you all understand the righteousness!"
Wang Jing nodded, with a happy smile on his face.
At this time, Pei Ji on the side suddenly spoke,
"Everyone, as long as the traitor Li Er doesn't succeed in his imperial examination plan, in the future... what will we, the rich and noble, have to worry about?"
"What Master said is absolutely true, hahahahaha!"
Then, Pei Ji took a sip of wine, shook the glass and said...
"Moreover."
"Now that Holy Iron cannot resume production, if Li Er, a foolish king, gives it to the people, he will give it away forever. Although we have sold more than half of the land to Mud Legs, but..."
"These mud-legged people are all vulgar and uncultured. How can they understand the general trend of the world?"
"Now that the Tubo people are gone, we can take action again and acquire all the remaining holy irons... Once Li Er wants to use these holy irons, won't he have to wait for me... Hehe!"
After Pei Ji finished speaking, he laughed and drank to himself.
Several old men were stunned and looked at each other...and then they all became ecstatic in an instant.
Isn’t that what it is?!
We have indeed suffered huge losses.
But with the gold and silver in our hands, we can definitely find the common people to buy the holy iron!
Now Tubo has eaten most of the holy iron, and has used up all the gold, silver, sulfur, saltpeter, etc. it brought.
Now we will use the returned gold and silver to purchase Holy Iron.
When Li Er is in urgent need of holy iron...
Isn't that just Li Er kneeling down to beg us so that we can raise the price at will?
Ha ha ha ha!
"Brother Pei, you are so tall!"
"Master is so right!"
"Hahahahaha, we and the five surnames Qiwang will definitely make a comeback!"
However, amidst the joy, Lu Changgeng still couldn't help but feel a little confused, and asked in a low voice,
"But Brother Pei...that's not right, Master!"
"The price of holy iron in the Tang Dynasty has already reached 400 yuan. I will buy it again later. Will the price be a bit high..."
As Lu Changgeng talked, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Everyone was startled.
However, this worry was quickly broken by Pei Ji's laughter full of wisdom.
"Can't the price of four hundred guan of fine steel be increased to 4,000 guan or 40,000 guan?"
"Brother Lu, you have to understand."
"If Li Er wants to maintain this kingdom, he must be indispensable for this holy iron. Compared to the city of Chang'an being destroyed and the palace reduced to ruins... he Li Er will accept any price!"
"Are we afraid that we won't make any money by then?"
"Li Er, it's just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!"
After Pei Ji finished speaking, he raised his wine glass again and his expression turned white!
Lu Changgeng was still in a daze, but the other old men responded one after another, with surprise on their faces.
Looking at Pei Ji, all he could see in his eyes was looking up!
"A good Li Er is just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!"
"Brother Pei, it's too high!"
"Brother Pei, it's like Zhuge's reincarnation!"
"I have five surnames and seven hopes, and I am invincible in the world! Hahahahahaha!"
…
"Sir, look, no, look at the current situation, can the blast furnace..."
"Old Li..."
Li Sheng sighed.
"Why are you still so small?"
After Li Sheng finished speaking, he shook his head, and then reached out to the fruit plate on the side.
This is naturally a separate courtyard in the western suburbs of Chang'an, which belongs to Li Sheng's "palace".
At this moment, Li Sheng was naturally eating, drinking, eating, etc... No, it was resting!
The moment Li Sheng reached for the fruit,
A strong hand arrived first and picked up a grape.
then……
Peel the grapes open and serve them respectfully to Li Sheng's mouth...
