Chapter 166 Refined iron, a hundredfold increase in price?
Li Er was so happy.
He also issued an edict to resettle refugees and distributed potatoes, sweet potatoes and other items to provide disaster relief.
Fortunately, I didn't say I had left some potatoes to eat, and I gave them all to the refugees.
Sooner or later, this logic spreads all over the world with the popularity of potatoes.
Isn't this the whole people come back to you?
What does Zhou Gong vomit and feed? The whole world is so heartbroken?
The blood of Shenzhou comes from Yanhuang, but the etiquette, law, and civilization traditions of Shenzhou undoubtedly come from King Wen of Zhou.
Thinking about how convinced the people would be of themselves, how could Li Er be unhappy?
But just thinking about it, Li Er still knew it.
All of this is because Li Sheng discovered potatoes.
With his talent, this alien species was selected among all things in the world.
Even if King Wen of Zhou really reborn, Li Sheng is not himself...
But I am Li Sheng’s father, hehe!
So Li Er was secretly happy, thinking that a batch of fertilizers must be given priority to the resettlement site for refugees. It was at this moment that an eunuch suddenly came to report.
"Your Majesty, Du Ruhui, Minister of War, and Duan Lun, Minister of Works, asked for a visit!"
"Oh? Xuan!"
After a while, Duan Lun and Du Ruhui appeared in the Ganlu Palace.
When he saw the two Li Er in a good mood, he smiled, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
The two looked at each other and were silent for a moment.
Li Er was surprised, "What's wrong, why didn't you say anything?"
He didn't know that these two people were brewing language. How could they say this so that His Majesty would not be furious immediately...
"Your Majesty, recently... the grenade dan, and the Divine Arm Bow, these two factories, budget..."
“The budget is a bit understated.”
"Insufficient budget?...Oh, take some from the treasury, one hundred thousand taels should be enough, right?"
Li Er also knew that although the new weapons were powerful, they also consumed a lot of manpower and material resources for exquisite and powerful things.
However, we must pacify the Turks, bring stability to the Tang Dynasty, and the people live and work in peace and contentment...
Compared to these invisible benefits, this increase in cost is nothing.
But just after he finished speaking, Du Ruhui smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, actually... there is still money in the accounts of both factories."
"besides?"
Li Er was originally talking to the two ministers while reading the memorial, but when they said this, they immediately put down their pen.
I looked around the two of them carefully.
Du Ruhui, a military master, will not easily reveal his or her words.
Duan Lun has always been upright and taciturn, and is not a nonsense person.
Then how about these two people...
"No, you two are too idle. Are you going to the palace to find me for happiness?"
"His Majesty……"
Du Ruhui still didn't know how to speak, this was too evil.
In the end, it was Duan Lun who mustered up the courage.
"Your Majesty, the two factories are pretty good, but recently...the price of fine iron has soared!"
"A hoe with a high texture was originally worth 70 cents, but recently, it has risen higher and higher recently, and it has gradually reached seven cents!"
The price increase of 70 cigars to 7 cigarettes is a hundred times the amount!
Li Er was stunned.
The price of fine iron has increased by a hundred times?
After staying for a few seconds, Li Er's face suddenly sank.
Needless to say, it must be a good thing that the five surnames Qi Wang did!
"I understand. I know what's going on inside this matter. Just use the remaining iron materials first, and I will decide the rest of the matter!"
"His Majesty……"
"What's wrong?"
Li Er frowned again, wasn't it just that?
"Your Majesty, the iron stocks in the two factories are all inferior iron. Fine iron... not even a pound or a ounce."
Bang!
Li Er suddenly became furious, grabbed a porcelain bottle and fell to the ground.
They glared at the two of them and said, "The iron inventory is all inferior iron? Are you crazy?"
"These iron materials are all used to create new weapons. Where should new weapons be used? Don't you know?"
"I dare to buy bad iron to fool you. I really think that if I have made merit, I won't kill anyone?!"
Li Er was so angry that he was so angry.
What's the result if I trust these ministers so much?
It’s easy to say about other things, but this is a big deal about the Turks!
At that time, the problem will be reflected on the battlefield. Let the Turks go south and rob, and the troops will come to Chang'an again, and the Wei River Alliance will be the same again????
I'm afraid there will be no Weishui Alliance at all!
This time, the Turks were much more powerful than the alien forces during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and even better than the Huns in the Han Dynasty.
By then, the Han people will be in the rhythm of extermination!
These ministers dare to neglect their duties in this way?!
Li Er's temper exploded, Du Ruhui and Duan Lun immediately fell to his knees,
"Your Majesty calms down! I am afraid!"
"Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down!"
The two of them didn't say anything, they were really frightened.
If the bad iron follows the factory and the weapons, finally arrive on the battlefield,
Without Li Er getting angry, the Turks entered the country and took everyone down...
Li Er stared at the two of them in anger.
After a long time... I suddenly collapsed on the imperial chair, covered my face and sighed a long time...
"Why!……"
"Tell me, what's going on."
Li Er's voice sounded very tired.
This is how people are. If there is a lot of good news, then no matter how tired you are, you won’t feel tired. You just want to stop me from being able to help you... But if it is bad news, it will really make people feel tired.
And, if it is a series of good news, suddenly there is a super bad news that has overwhelmed all the funny things...
If the man didn't go crazy on the spot, he would be considered as a strong mind.
That's what Li Er is like now.
Du Ruhui took a breath and said, "Your Majesty, we have already taken the lead in handling iron procurement, but... we have used all the methods and have not been able to find out anything."
"But I guess, behind this scene, probably most of the time..."
"No need to say, that... the chief clerk, just execute him."
Li Er still covered his face, feeling unprecedentedly depressed...
Du Ruhui was also anxious when he saw Li Er like this.
"Your Majesty, it's not the time to be depressed now."
"Haha... Such a big mistake can cause such a big mistake, and this incident of expedition to the Turks is gone. Do you still tell me not to be negative? Hahahahahaha!"
Du Ruhui quickly lowered his head, but continued, "Your Majesty, hasn't this started fighting yet..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Er's hand covering his face suddenly pulled away and sat upright.
Yes, isn’t this a fight yet?!
Anyway, the Weishui Alliance has only recently passed.
As long as I don’t take the initiative, the Turks will not take action immediately even if I think about it.
In other words...there is still a chance!
Li Er soon had a thought in his mind, although... his emotions were still very irritable, and it was all up to the suppression of his personal will.
"Five surnames and seven hopes...Five surnames and seven hopes... I will wipe you out sooner or later!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
