After pondering for a moment, Li Min couldn't help but say: "Let me tell you, Emperor Qi, I do have a solution for this matter, but I can't handle it myself, so I must find a helper."
Hearing Li Min's words, Li Shimin's face couldn't help but light up, and he quickly asked: "Min'er, please tell me, what can you do? It's easy to talk about helpers. No matter who you need help, I will help you find it."
Li Min couldn't help but said: "Father, because there are more people raising silkworms this year, the price of silkworm cocoons in the next few years has dropped to one-tenth of previous years. In order to save those people from losses, I bought them at a low price.
Those cocoons."
"After acquiring those cocoons, Erchen set up a spinning factory, a cloth factory and a garment factory in Yizhou. Because Erchen used more advanced technology, the cost was reduced a lot. Isn't the price of cloth high now?
As long as Erchen takes out the produced cloth and sells it at a price lower than the market price, the price will be stabilized immediately."
Hearing Li Min's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Li Shimin actually knew about this matter at the time, but he just didn't think about it.
Now, Li Shimin's eyes looked increasingly different when he looked at Li Min.
Min'er is really my own Qilin son!
Everything he did was entirely for the Tang Dynasty and for the people!
For example, the price of silkworm cocoons is very low, down to one-tenth of the price in previous years.
So, wouldn't it be enough if he bought it at one-fifth of the price?
Nowadays, the price of cloth is high, while its cost is low.
The price of cloth on the market is now ten times higher than the market price.
Isn't it the same if he sells it at twice the market price?
But he didn't do that.
He even did not hesitate to sell at a price lower than the market price. Isn't all this for Datang and the people?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin even stood up, bowed his head to Li Min and said: "Min'er, on behalf of the people of the Tang Dynasty, thank you!"
Li Min was so frightened that he quickly knelt down on the ground and said, "Father, this is what I should do. What are you doing? I can't afford it!"
Li Shimin pulled Li Min up and asked carefully: "By the way, Min'er. Just now you said that you can't do this by yourself and you need helpers. What do you mean? Who do you need to help?"
Hearing Li Shimin's inquiry, Li Min couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Father, the reason why the price of cloth is so high is because the five surnames and Qiwang and other aristocratic families are manipulating the market behind the scenes. The silkworm cocoons that Erchen purchased this year, and others
Some raw materials could have been used to cope with this crisis."
"But how can the people of the aristocratic family sit still and wait for death? If they buy up all the cloth sold by their sons and ministers, and then resell it at a high price, then this crisis will still not be resolved!"
Hearing Li Min's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.
Based on his knowledge of the five surnamed Qiwang and other aristocratic families, it is very likely that they will do this - no, it is almost certain that they will do this.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but reveal murderous intent.
Then he asked Li Min: "Min'er, what do you mean?"
Li Min couldn't help but said to Li Shimin: "Father, I want my father to issue an edict to all profiteers who dare to take the opportunity to hoard cloth and disrupt the market. Once caught, all goods will be confiscated. And this case
This matter, I think, cannot be done without my uncle, the eldest grandson."
Hearing that the person recommended by Li Min was actually Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile.
Well, these two people really matched up.
Changsun Wuji recommended Min'er to me, and the person Min'er wanted to recommend happened to be Changsun Wuji.
But to be fair, Min'er and Changsun Wuji are really the most suitable candidates for this matter.
Moreover, Min'er's suggestion is very good!
Families such as the Five Surnames and Qi Wang are so arrogant that even the royal family does not take them seriously.
They even disdained intermarriage with the royal family.
In this case, then this time, I will let you know who owns this Tang Dynasty!
If I don't give you some strength, do you really think that I can't do anything to you?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but order: "When someone comes, please send a message to Duke Zhao to see him."
Soon, Changsun Wuji came to the imperial study room.
Li Shimin directly said to Changsun Wuji: "Assistant machine, I have arranged an errand for you. This time there is a cloth crisis, the King of Shu will come out with a batch of cloth and sell it at a price lower than the market price. Once there is a crisis in the market,
Businessmen who dare to purchase large amounts of cloth and hoard goods for personal gain will be arrested. Those involved will be sentenced to death, and all goods will be returned to the public. Only you can handle this matter, so I will leave it to you."
After listening to Li Shimin's words, Changsun Wuji secretly complained in his heart.
He immediately guessed in his heart that it must be Li Min, the king of Shu, who dragged him into the trap.
But he was the first to lure the King of Shu into the water first...
Now that the king of Shu has agreed, he must not refuse.
Therefore, after Changsun Wuji took a deep look at Li Min, he couldn't help but said: "I obey the order."
Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded and said: "Auxiliary machine, remember, this time, anyone who dares to come forward to disrupt the market, no matter who, will never be let go!"
After hearing these words, Changsun Wuji felt even more miserable.
The emperor is extremely dissatisfied with the five surnames and seven hopes, and is planning to touch these aristocratic families to make them feel awe.
As for himself, he now acts as the knife.
People from the five surnamed Qiwang families naturally did not dare to do anything to the emperor.
But I will definitely suffer their revenge afterwards!
By the way, last time because of the issue of printing books, I already had a bad relationship with Wu Xing Qi Wang.
Up to now, the business of their eldest grandson's family has been suppressed and suffered heavy losses.
And this time it was even worse. After this time, there would be an undying hatred between him and Qiwang of the Five Surnames!
But Changsun Wuji is also a ruthless person!
Either you are not offended, or if you are offended, then you will die.
Aren't you going to fight to the death?
Then you should die first!
Therefore, this time Changsun Wuji also took the risk and decided to mobilize all the strength of the Changsun family.
This time, whoever dares to take action will be severely punished.
Next, the emperor issued an edict that the weather was cold and the price of cloth in the market remained high.
The King of Shu took pity on the people and was willing to sell cloth at a price lower than the market price. Any merchant who dared to take the opportunity to hoard cloth and drive up the market price would be severely punished if caught.
Li Min also published this edict in the Yizhou Monthly Newspaper and also announced the price of the cloth.
