Chapter 254 This Standard Steel Has Become Holy Iron Again?
The voice was crisp and tender, and seemed to be a female voice, but it looked like a man's robe.
He had delicate features, but when he turned his face slightly, he saw a handsome fair-skinned young man.
Of course, Li Sheng and others didn't bother to pay attention to this. They just listened to the voice saying,
"It is said that Tubo did indeed transport a lot of steel, and the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty are also said to have purchased more... But this kind of thing does not seem to be a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, right?"
"Seeing that you are also well-dressed people, since you are all scholars, you are naturally the pillar of the Tang Dynasty. Why are you so happy when the sacred objects are stolen?"
"Don't you know that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world???"
The fair-skinned young man's tone was unkind and his eyes were cold.
At first glance, it sounds like he is blaming.
But if you look carefully, you can find that there is a hint of happiness deep in this man's eyes.
It seems to be an extremely comfortable and satisfying feeling!
Yes, this person is none other than Princess Youzhu.
As for my visit to the Lion House this time, of course I brought Songtsen Jilong and Agu Mi, two of my subordinates, to join the team for a celebration banquet.
The content of the celebration is very simple. At this moment... the Tubo carriage team has left the Tang Dynasty with the large amount of steel products they purchased from the wealthy families.
Now, no matter what the Tang Dynasty court does——
It is absolutely impossible to undo all of this!
Therefore, when Li Er said "only" some steel, it naturally sounded very funny to Princess Youzhu.
"Don't you still think that Datang has made a profit?"
As she spoke, Princess Youzhu looked at Li Er and others with a smile.
Then, Li Er and others were stunned.
"What do you mean, you don't think Datang has made a profit, do you?"
…
"Didn't Datang make a profit from this black market transaction?"
"Standard steel and gold can be exchanged almost one-for-one. Isn't this a profit?"
"This little brother, you are so bad at getting along, aren't you?"
At this point in the banquet, Li Er and others were also a little tipsy.
And Fang Xuanling even smiled and teased, "Young master, seeing as you are young, you know how to come to a restaurant to eat and drink. But eating and drinking in a restaurant has to be paid for. You didn't bring it with you, right?"
Fang Xuanling has been a scholar since he was a child, and he is not quite the same as Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui.
It would be difficult for him to lead the army as a general or prime minister, but if you make him be weird and disgusting, then you are really an expert in the hands of an expert.
really.
As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Princess Youzhu's face suddenly turned dark.
Directly, showing a sneer.
hehe!
act recklessly.
"You... don't you know that the so-called standard steel is actually the holy iron given by God?"
"Yes, the Tubo people did spend a lot of gold in exchange for the holy iron this time. In order to obtain one million kilograms of holy iron, they spent nearly 100,000 kilograms of gold. As you said, it is indeed a one-for-one exchange."
"But yellow and white things are, after all, things outside the body!"
"But these holy irons are treasures that are as sharp as clay. If one day, Tubo uses these holy irons to melt them into weapons... Then no matter how much money the Tang Dynasty makes, won't they have to spit it back?"
"That's it, is it also called making money?"
After finishing speaking, Princess Youzhu sneered and turned back.
In the past, he had always been in awe of the Han people in the Central Plains.
No matter it is King Wen, King Wu, the First Emperor, Emperor Gao, Zhuge, Bo Yue who fought to the end of the Northern Expedition... none of them are sober and resolute heroes.
But now, since the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han people have gradually degenerated.
Nowadays, to put it bluntly, none of the barbarians everywhere can't go south and east to play in the grass valleys of the Central Plains.
It’s clear that Fela is unbearable!
And now, these idiots are still scholars. It is obvious that the mother country has suffered a big loss, and it happened in a place like Chang'an, which is the most good place, almost in front of Li Er's eyes.
Just like this happened, these people were still complacent.
Princess Youzhu now not only looks down on the Han people, she simply doesn't want to look at them. She doesn't know which angle to look at to make herself look at these Han people a little better.
but……
At the moment Princess Youzhu turned back with disdain.
Immediately afterwards, Li Sheng showed a puzzled expression.
"Holy iron? Is this standard steel becoming holy iron again?"
"Isn't this thing... everywhere?"
Hearing this, Princess Youzhu couldn't help it.
These scholars clearly disgraced the ancient Han people.
He turned back angrily, looked at Li Sheng and said, "Don't you know, sir? Haha, your Majesty announced half a month ago that all steel in the world is strictly prohibited for export. This is because this thing is God-given iron, specially sent for the king."
"Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away. Now that the Tang Dynasty has lost its holy iron, is there any good ending?"
"snort!"
The more Princess Youzhu talked, the more she looked down on these Han scholars.
They are simply a bunch of clowns!
But just as she finished speaking, Li Sheng showed an even more confused expression.
"But... little brother, where did you hear that... this standard steel, what kind of holy iron is it?"
"Where did you hear it? Of course it was from you... from the edict of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty!"
"Ah? But Li Er's edict only said that the production capacity of this iron is limited, but did not say... that this iron is the chosen iron."
"this……"
When Li Sheng said this, Princess Youzhu was stunned.
Suddenly there was a faint sound in my heart...
Ding...
Wait, isn’t this iron holy iron?
"But...but the whole of Chang'an says so, how can you...how can you tell lies with your eyes open!?"
"No, little brother." Li Sheng laughed out loud with a hint of drunkenness, "Chang'an is a place with a prosperous population. There are not only a thousand but also eight hundred rumors circulating every day."
"When you come to Chang'an to hang out, you have to learn not to believe or spread rumors. Besides..."
"Even if this iron is really meteorite, His Majesty has issued an edict for the second time today. Recently, Datang discovered more than a dozen pieces of meteorite... Although the production capacity is still limited, it has been announced to resume production and the supply is unlimited.
"
"Even if it's holy iron, if there's so much of it... then there won't be any problem if some of it flows out."
Li Sheng finished his speech incoherently, and then turned back to drink by himself.
"What……"
Princess Youzhu was completely stunned.
The whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar... no, as if he had fallen into a different space, a dark, cold and strange world...
All the sounds around me are gradually diluted...
There are only a few vague words in my mind...
"Today, His Majesty has issued an edict and discovered more than a dozen pieces of meteorite."
"Starting from today, standard steel production will resume, with unlimited supply..."
"Your Highness... Your Highness?"
"Your Highness? What's wrong with you?"
"General Agu Mie, what's wrong with Your Highness..."
"Master, you are asking me, how can I, a rough man, know... Today is a happy day, Your Highness?..."
All the sounds seemed to be echoing in a cold cave.
