"Salt and iron official camp!"
Li Shimin can't help it. Salt and iron official camps have existed since ancient times, which is a powerful tool for the imperial court to increase fiscal revenue. The most famous salt and iron official camp is the salt and iron debate during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Although it is controversial, it can still be implemented in the face of huge interests.
"Do you know how much controversy has been caused by the return of Yantie official camp?" Li Shimin frowned.
The salt and iron official camp in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty caused a great storm. After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the salt and iron official camp was abandoned and erected several times. It can be imagined that the struggle was fought. Later, in the Sui Dynasty, the national strength was strong, and there was no need for the salt and iron official camp to collect money. The Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui Dynasty system, and the salt and iron private sector was also implemented.
Tang Jian nodded solemnly and said, "if it had been before, Wei Chen would not have rashly proposed salt and iron official camp. If all industries in the Tang Dynasty prosper, the imperial government is in urgent need of money, and Wei Chen really can't!"
Li Shimin sighed when he heard the speech. Although the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is booming, there are too many places to spend money. The finance is really tight, and the salt and iron official camp is really a big temptation.
Coupled with the repeated commercial wars between iron ore and Mojia village, the iron price fluctuated violently, affecting the national economy and the people's livelihood, and finally gave the imperial court the reason to intervene in salt and iron.
"You can't kill a chicken with an ox knife. I don't need to do it. Merton will teach these mine owners a lesson. The salt and iron official camp involves a lot, and the matter will be discussed from the long time." Li Shimin waved his hand.
"Ah!"
Tang Jian accidentally glanced at Li Shimin. He didn't expect that Li Shimin was so confident in the Mohist family. In his opinion, if the imperial court didn't intervene, the Mohist family wouldn't have a chance to turn over.
"Don't worry! The Mexican family has never lost the commercial war!" Li Shimin said confidently.
If those mine owners dare to engage in such a storm at ordinary times, Li Shimin will certainly not let them go. Now Merton fights with these mine owners again, Li Shimin has the fun of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Moreover, according to his past experience, Merton always gives him unexpected surprises whenever the Mojia village meets a desperate situation.
"I'll wait and see." Tang Jian smiled and covered up his regret.
However, to everyone's surprise, with the continuous growth of iron price, Mojia village has not made any action. It has neither bought high-priced iron nor the intention to negotiate with them with stainless steel secret skills. It has been using the inventory of Mojia village to resist.
"Tell me, childe! The inventory of Mojia village will not last long. When there is no iron in Mojia village, Mojia will surely give in." in changsun's house, the housekeeper of changsun reported to changsun with a proud face.
"Hahaha, Mozi, how long can you be proud this time? This time, you offend the whole iron line in the world." the eldest Sun said proudly with a look on his face.
There is fierce competition among iron shops in the world, but mojiazi is the dominant one. Relying on its technical advantages, it wantonly buys low-cost iron materials. After a round of steel-making furnace in Mojia village, it turns out to be high-priced refined steel and sells a good price. Especially the special steel produced in Mojia village is as rare and precious as gold. It sells the iron price at a price comparable to gold, This makes the world iron line which is not red eyed.
Now the Mohist village finally provoked public anger. He just pushed behind his back, and the iron companies all over the world gathered to fight back against the Mohist family. For so many years, his fight with the Mohist family ended badly. This time, he finally had the opportunity to step on the Mohist family in person.
"Keep staring, don't let the Mo family have any chance to get cheap iron materials." the eldest sun Chong sneered.
The eldest grandson housekeeper patted his chest and promised, "young master, don't worry. Villains can guarantee with their heads. No iron shop will fall to the Mexican family."
Led by the changsun family, who dares to violate the alliance of the world's iron industry? Besides, the iron materials needed by the Mohists are not a bit. If someone secretly sells the iron materials to the Mohists, they can't escape their eyes.
Chang sun Chong nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly a servant came in a hurry and came to report.
"Young master, master, please!"
The Chamberlain of changsun changed his face and looked at changsun Chong. This time, changsun Chong privately cooperated with the world iron bank to increase the price and force the palace Mojia village, but without changsun Wuji's nod.
The eldest son said to his face, "go down and work! I'll see my father."
Chang sun Chong came to the living room in the front yard, saw that Chang sun Wuji was waiting for him, and came forward to salute.
Changsun Wuji took a deep look at changsun and said helplessly, "my father thought that after you married Gaoyang, the gratitude and resentment between you and mojiazi had disappeared. I didn't think you couldn't let go."
The eldest sun Chong said in amazement, "what does Father mean? This time, the child is for the eldest sun's family, not for his personal gratitude and resentment."
"For the sake of Chang sun's family?" Chang sun Wuji frowned.
Chang sun Chong nodded and said, "after the child's marriage, his father handed over the household chores to him, including the iron line. However, he found that the iron line originally from Chang sun's family was much worse than before. The source of all this was the rise of Mojia village."
Changsun Wuji sighed helplessly. A family needs huge money to support it. Other families have been operating for thousands of years and have long been deeply rooted. However, the changsun family has just been revived for about 20 years. The foundation is shallow. The railway is the main economic source for the prosperity of the changsun family. However, the rise of Mojia village and the high steel-making furnace overlooks the whole Guanzhong railway, The original market advantage of changsun family was immediately crushed by the technical advantage of Mojia village.
"If it's just like this, the child won't act rashly, and the changsun family can live well by selling some iron tools. However, in this ink technology exhibition, the Mexican family displayed stainless steel, and frankly said that the future steel world is stainless steel. In the future, the changsun family can't even sell iron tools. It's not that the child is reckless, but that the Mexican family deceives people too much." the changsun shouted coldly.
Changsun Wuji nodded slightly. Tiexing is the economic pillar of the changsun family. If stainless steel is popular in the future, the income of the changsun family will decrease sharply and the interests of the changsun family will be seriously damaged. From this point of view, changsun Chong has not done anything wrong.
"Don't be reckless about this. Iron is the foundation of the country. If the price of iron rises and falls sharply, it will certainly attract the attention of the imperial court. At that time, the changsun family can't afford it." although changsun Wuji doesn't know the plan of Tang Jian's salt and iron official camp, he has been immersed in the imperial court for many years. He knows the sensitivity of iron and gently mentions changsun Chong.
"My father can rest assured that my child is only measured. Now the iron price in Datang has only doubled, and Mojia village has to buy high-priced iron materials. In this way, even if the Mojia son doesn't disclose the secret technology of stainless steel, changsun iron can return to the prosperity of the past." changsun Chong said proudly. The changsun family is the most direct beneficiary of this price increase. In any case, he is in an invincible position.
Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "this is the case for the time being, but you should explain it to Princess Gaoyang so as not to cause misunderstanding."
"Princess Gaoyang?"
Hearing the speech, Chang sun Chong's face flashed a trace of helplessness, but he still arched his hand and said, "I understand."
Chang sun Chong said goodbye to Chang sun Wuji and returned to the backyard, but he didn't see the figure of Princess Gaoyang.
"Where's the princess?" the eldest son snapped.
"The emperor's Royal Highness has gone to the Temple Buddha," replied a gong Ying.
"Go out again?" the eldest son rushed and his face suddenly blackened.
Princess Gaoyang has been going out for fun for three days since she married her eldest son. Chang sun Chong thought that Princess Gaoyang had just left the palace and was more curious outside the palace, but she didn't expect that Princess Gaoyang would intensify her efforts. She went out more and more frequently, almost rarely at home, and the husband and wife were almost strangers.
