Chapter 1223

"Fifty percent, sixty percent, seventy percent..."

The iron price in Guanzhong is crazy. It has been rising continuously. In the twinkling of an eye, it has risen by more than 70%, and there is still no stopping trend.

"Not to mention the Guanzhong iron price, the iron price of the whole Tang Dynasty is the same. The Mojia village is either rich or let them buy high-priced iron." the eldest housekeeper of changsun mansion laughed.

"Yes, all along, Mojia village has made a lot of money by virtue of ink technology. We have been working hard to earn some coolie money at the risk of mining. What an injustice!" a Shandong mine owner was in a good mood. He was originally an iron supplier of Mojia village and made a lot of money by relying on Mojia village. Unfortunately, people are not enough to swallow the elephant, and he is even jealous of the profits of Mojia village, The changsun family took the lead in promoting the price rise of iron materials, and this person responded immediately.

"No, it's not that I don't want to supply Mohist iron materials, but that my iron mine has just collapsed and lost a lot of money. Several mines have been abandoned. There's really nothing I can do!" a Henan mine owner pretended.

"You're really a hypocrite. I'm a real villain. This time, if the Mohists want cheap iron materials, they can exchange stainless steel secret skills. That's a good thing for making money every day." said a Huainan road mine owner.

The eldest grandson laughed and said: "Whether you want to raise the price of iron or stainless steel, we have the same purpose to force Mojia village to obey. This time, the imperial court has to raise 3 million yuan for the construction of a new Shu Road. At least 6 million yuan for casting iron, and 2 million yuan for iron alone. How much profit can we not let Mojia village alone."

The owner of Shandong mine nodded and said, "yes, Mojia village can't raise 2 million pieces of iron in any case. In the end, he still asked us to cast money. We'll divide the fat meat!"

They looked at each other and laughed. Originally, they had a conflict of interest and could not unite at all. However, the interests of cast iron money and stainless steel were so great that they put aside their previous stereotypes and finally joined hands to hold the throat of Mojia village.

"Young master, the major iron mines have raised their prices one after another. Now the iron price has more than doubled, but even so, they still sell in limited quantities." Lao Zhang came to report worried.

This time, the major iron mines are united. They may not dare to limit chaotang cast iron money, but it is difficult for Mojia village to obtain a large amount of iron, but it hurts the pain point of Mojia village and makes Mojia village like a lump in the throat.

"What about the mine that signed the contract with Mojia village?" Merton frowned.

"Those villains who are greedy for profit follow the trend and raise prices. Even the iron materials we ordered before are not given in breach of contract." Lao Zhang said angrily.

"Remember to them first. When the storm is over, they won't be able to eat and walk around." Merton snorted coldly. There are ordering contracts signed between Mojia village and major iron mines. If these mines don't perform the contracts, they'll wait to lose money!

"But it can't be hydrolyzed near the fire. Mojia village now needs to supply a large amount of stainless steel to the Ministry of civil affairs. Its own supply is fundamentally insufficient. At present, it can only use the iron reserves of Mojia village, but even so, it can't last long." The cast iron money of the people's Republic of China is a bottomless hole. In addition, the demand for iron in Mojia village is also extremely huge. The iron reserves that originally seemed to be considerable in Mojia village are suddenly stretched.

Merton snorted coldly, "now it depends on who can hold up the Mojia village and the iron ore owner."

It's hard for Mojia village and those iron ore miners to suffer if the iron price is too high. You know, mining costs a lot every day. If the iron price is too high, there will be a lot of iron surplus in the hands of iron ore miners. They don't have the ability to turn iron into gold.

"Bar up!"

"Mojia village and the iron ore mine owner are fighting!"

This commercial war soon spread all over Datang. Now, Mojia village has the largest steelmaking plant in Datang. The annual output of steel accounts for 40% of Datang's steel, and it is the best quality steel. The annual demand for iron ore is extremely huge. Now, Mojia village stands firm and does not buy Iron. Naturally, other blacksmiths reduce their procurement due to the impact of high iron price, and the iron output of Datang suddenly appears To the rest.

However, even so, those miners still insist on raising iron prices and do not reduce prices against strong inventories.

"You say, is it mojiazi who can't hold it first, or iron ore miners who can't hold it first?" merchants in Chang'an City speculated one after another.

"It's reasonable to say that Mojia village needs a large amount of iron materials every year. The iron ore mine owner can be said to have strangled the lifeblood of Mojia village. If others are determined, they can only obediently obey. However, it's Mojia village! Mojia Zi won't watch his efforts go away." A common people in Chang'an supported Mojia village. After all, Mojia Zi has created too many miracles. Many people have blind confidence in Mojia Zi.

"This time, led by the changsun family, almost all the iron ore miners participated in the price increase. For these miners, they can't stand it. It's a big deal to restore the iron price without loss. The iron ore miners are in an invincible position. Even if Mojia village survives this pass this time, I'm afraid it will be exploited by the iron ore miners. From this point of view, the iron ore miners have won." Many merchants see the interests at a glance and are optimistic about iron ore miners.

Almost everyone is paying attention to this rare commercial war, especially iron, which has always been related to the national economy and the people's livelihood.

"So the iron ore mine owner is sitting on the Diaoyutai?" in the Tai Chi hall, Li Shimin's mouth showed a taste of playing.

"Tell your majesty, iron prices have been rising continuously, affecting people's daily use. Should the imperial court intervene?" Tang Jian, the Minister of civil affairs, frowned.

The status of iron is so important. This iron price war not only attracted the attention of the people, but also attracted the attention of the imperial court. Tang Jian's move was intended to help Mohist Zi. After all, the plight of Mohist village was caused by helping the people to make money.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "did this ever affect the people's money?"

Tang Jian shook his head and said, "no, now Mojia village gives priority to supply the cast iron money of the Ministry of the people. The casting of the cast iron money is quite smooth, but according to my estimation, Mojia village won't last long?"

Li Shimin laughed and said, "since Merton doesn't move, it means that Merton has a backhand. I'm very curious about how Merton turned the tables."

Tang Jian said, "I believe the wisdom of offering wine with ink can certainly resolve this disaster. However, the Mohist village has a great cause and can withstand this storm. However, the people of thousands of households in the world are not. They simply don't have much ability to withstand this storm. As far as I know, the iron price soared this time, the folk iron trade decreased greatly, and the people's life was affected."

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard Tang Jian's words

"I think it's time to implement the salt and iron official camp, so that the people all over the world can avoid the storm of iron price dispute and let the people all over the world live and work in peace and contentment." Tang Jian said proudly.

No one thought that Tang Jian had a more important intention, that is, the salt and iron official camp. Recently, the Ministry of civil affairs is too short of money. The way Tang Jian wants to solve the financial difficulties of the imperial court is the salt and iron official camp. Now the iron price is too high and the people's resentment is overwhelming. The Ministry of civil affairs just takes this opportunity to intervene in the salt and iron official camp.

No one could have imagined that there would be a third party force in the situation of this iron price dispute, that is, the Ministry of civil affairs.

The snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains!
