Zhao Yang nodded: "Your Majesty is very aware of everything. It is indeed true. I heard that the Dream Group took this opportunity to make at least three hundred thousand yuan. The Marquis of Huyi County's ability to make money is truly unparalleled in the world, and I also heard that,
His Highness the King of Shu was involved in this matter, and he also made tens of thousands of coins."
Li Er took off his reading glasses, and when he heard this, he had an angry look on his face: "These two bastards are just selling hot water tablets, but they have completely forgotten about my palace. Humph, such a huge palace, now
There is a hot water heater in the Taiji Hall. My bedroom, Wende Hall, and the Imperial Study Room are extremely cold. I don’t want to stay for a moment. This is not going to work. I will pass on my oral instructions to announce that King Shu and Du He will enter the palace.
.”
Li Er directly sent Zhao Yang to the Dream Group to announce that Du He and Li Ke would enter the palace.
…
Dream Group.
In the conference room.
The atmosphere is somewhat depressing.
Lu Yuan and Yuan Tiangang sat opposite Du He.
Just listen to Yuan Tiangang say: "At the current construction speed, the iron and iron ore in the warehouse can only be used for three days. If there is still no iron after three days, our orders for hot water tablets will have to be returned.
, I will lose at least 100,000 yuan. Every time I think about it, I feel extremely distressed."
That's right, with the crazy construction of Dream Group, the entire Chang'an City is running out of iron.
Nowadays, it is so cold that it is impossible to find new iron resources.
Lu Yuan said: "Master, now in the entire Chang'an City, only the Changsun family still sells pig iron. The Changsun family is the only family designated by His Majesty to sell pig iron. Since the Turks were destroyed, most of the iron mines in the west have been taken over by the Changsun family.
Nowadays, the amount of pig iron in the Changsun family's warehouse is astonishing. I have sent people to talk to the Changsun family's shops. The thirteen shops selling pig iron in the Changsun family all said that they are not allowed to sell pig iron, even a handful, without Changsun Chong's permission.
The amount of kitchen knives is not good either.”
"Is Changsun Chong taking charge of this matter?"
"I heard that Changsun Wuji has handed over all matters of selling iron to Changsun Chong."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Bu hurriedly walked in from outside and handed a letter to Du He: "Master, this is from the Sikong Mansion. It is said that Chang Sun Chong wrote it to you personally, Master."
Du He didn't need to read it, he actually guessed the content of the letter.
After he opened it, sure enough, Changsun Chong stated in the letter that the iron hoarded by the Changsun family could be sold to Dream Group, but the price would be five times the market price. Moreover, the Changsun family wanted to invest in the construction of hot water tiles without paying a penny.
, accounting for 20% of the shares.
Lu Yuan and others took the letter and looked at it, and they were all very angry.
Du He said with a smile: "Is the Sikong Mansion presuming that I, Du He, will beg them? Five times the market price? I, Du He, have always been the only one making money from others, but Changsun Chong wants to make money from me. It's really ridiculous... This
You evil disciple, how dare you deceive your master and destroy your ancestors, please deal with him properly later."
Only then did everyone remember that Chang Sun Chong was Du He's third disciple.
However, everyone familiar with the matter knows that letting Chang Sun Chong become his disciple was just a move by Du He. The purpose was to use Sikong Mansion's appearance to gain fame for Banshan College. Now that Banshan College is in full swing, Du He naturally doesn't bother to take charge of Chang Sun Chong.
.
Unexpectedly, this kid started to cheat Dream Group.
This is to deceive the master and destroy the ancestor!
Yuan Tiangang said: "Now, I am afraid that only Du He can pay a visit in person and negotiate with Changsun Wuji. Otherwise, our hot water tablet business will have to stop entirely."
Du He thought for a while and asked: "Is it possible that in the entire Chang'an City, only the Changsun family has iron?"
Lu Yuan said: "Apart from the Changsun family, only the imperial court has iron. However, the imperial court's iron is not sold to outsiders, and the control is very strict. Even high-ranking officials in the court cannot hoard iron. The Changsun family is special because they are relatives.
"
"I see... Changsun Wuji wants to take a fortune from me. If I really let him take advantage of me, how can I continue to live in Chang'an in the future? Five times the market price, 20% of the shares, such a situation
Come on, isn't this young master just making a profit at a loss..." Du He said slowly.
At this time, Li Ke, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his hand and said, "Lao Du, I have a way!"
Li Ke had always called Du He teacher before, but Du He felt it was a bit awkward, so he simply asked Li Ke to call him Lao Du instead, which made the relationship seem closer.
"What can you do?"
"I came up with a good idea," Li Ke couldn't wait to say, "We can ask Xu Zhiyuan, the magistrate of Chang'an County, and ask him to send people to search the parents of the people in Chang'an City and bring us all the excess iron.
It’s not enough to just give money to the people. For example, if a common person has three kitchen knives in his home, we will confiscate two of them..."
Du He: "..."
Li Eryi is so famous, how could he give birth to such a son?
Look, does this sound right?
Your father said every day that you should love the people as your own children, but you would do well to take away all the iron from people's homes in the blink of an eye. Isn't this a robber?
Snapped.
Du He slapped the table: "I have an idea..."
…
Sikong Mansion.
Changsun Chong said: "Dad, I have sent a letter to Du He as you ordered. It will not be until tomorrow at most. Du He will definitely come to our house to discuss this matter. Now, the entire Chang'an City, and even the surrounding areas of Chang'an
, only our eldest son’s family has hoarded a large amount of pig iron, and we can’t justify Du He not asking for it... Even if we can’t sell it to him at five times the market price by then, we can still make a huge profit.”
Changsun Wuji nodded with satisfaction: "Chong'er, you've done a good job on this matter. Du He has already made 30,000 yuan from his family by selling these hot water tablets. We want Du He to keep this money."
Now that he has returned, the day when Prime Minister Du will resign and go into seclusion is not far away. As a Marquis of Huyi County, Du He does not want to make progress and only wants to be a businessman. It is really ridiculous. Let me write something about this matter.
I have to hold Du He tight."
"Dad, I understand."
As he said this, the father and son looked at each other and smiled.
Changsun Chong thought to himself, Du He, I have tolerated you for a long time.
…
Tai Chi Hall.
Zhao Yang went to Dream Group to deliver oral instructions but had not returned yet, Ximen Qing hurriedly walked into the main hall.
Ximen Qing said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Shu and the Marquis of Huyi County are asking for an audience outside the palace!"
Li Er was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Cao Cao is really coming. Just now, I was still talking about why Du He hasn't seen anyone for so long, Xuan!"
Not long after, Li Ke and Du He walked into the Tai Chi Hall at the same time.
Li Ke said hurriedly: "My son has met my father!"
Du He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Du He, is here to see you. I haven't seen you for a few days. Your Majesty looks better, is getting stronger, and has an extraordinary spirit. This is a sign of the rejuvenation of the Tang Dynasty. I congratulate your Majesty and congratulate you!"
Li Ke was stunned.
Didn’t you agree to enter the palace to promote products?
When he looked up, he saw a smile on Li Er's originally serious face, and thought to himself, the teacher is really shameless.
This expression shows that Li Er is very happy now!
Li Ke admitted that even with his flattering skills, he could not catch up with Du He on horseback.
