Chapter 408: The Ministry of Industry Lowers Prices

"Tell them, let it be 20% at most, otherwise let them find another family, and don't threaten people with the court, don't they have a little bit of their own hearts in the doorway?" Xuan Shijing said.

Although Xuan Shijing only proposed the construction of a new palace, but according to the trajectory of history, whether Xuan Shijing mentioned it or not, the new palace on the Longshou Yuan must be built, many people in Chang'an City know that the main family behind this Xuanwu Building is him Xuan Shijing, and the people in the Ministry of Industry found the pile of money, but they pressed down the materials by forty percent, do they think that since Xuan Shijing put forward this idea, he must go back to promote the construction of the new palace?

Even if you lose money on your family's business?

As long as the money pile takes the lead in bringing down the price, the other merchants in Chang'an City will follow suit?

No, how many people does the chamber of commerce under the money pile feed? If the Chamber of Commerce's business fails, how many people will lose a job to support their families?

The Chamber of Commerce is not a small business to operate materials, and there are many people under this business.

A business is like a ship, the bigger the ship, the more crew there is, and when the ship is silent, the crew suffers with it.

The people in the Ministry of Industry never thought that once the price was pressed down, the businessmen could not bear the loss, and the business would not be able to do it. All of them were sent to Longshouyuan to do conscription?

"Yes." Qian Hei responded: "It's just that the people who returned to the Ministry of Industry so toughly......."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest." Xuan Shijing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's will to build a new palace has just come down, such a thing happened, although the people in the Ministry of Works are diligent, but they are too diligent, and it makes people wonder if they really want to help Your Majesty build a new palace, and the people of the household department, Ming'er's court, it is interesting." ”

Saying this, Xuan Shijing sneered.

Maybe this matter was only made by the people of the Ministry of Industry, or maybe the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households jointly made such a thing, but no matter who it was, such a thing undoubtedly delayed the construction of the new palace, so that the merchants in Chang'an City were panicked, and they had no bottom in their hearts, and the purchase of materials must be dragged down.

Xuan Shijing doesn't mind stabbing this matter to His Majesty Li Er, I believe that there will be many people in the court to support him, after all, this is a matter of interests, and the nobles who do business in Chang'an City are not only Xuan Shijing's family.

Either the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household bite each other in the court, or the price is two percent lower than the market price given by Xuan Shijing, otherwise some officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household will definitely become the target of public criticism.

It's not so easy to take a bite out of Xungui's body.

I think that the businessmen who have been in contact with the Ministry of Industry have already begun to talk to their owners or backers about this matter....... Maybe this matter doesn't need Xuan Shijing to come out, and someone in the DPRK will naturally mention this matter and scold the Ministry of Industry back.

"How many businessmen has the Ministry of Industry contacted in Chang'an City now?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"There are quite a few, twenty or thirty." Qian Dui said.

"Twenty or thirty, I really don't know that there are so many big dealers of materials in Chang'an City, how can they be idle people who can make their business big in Chang'an City? No one behind the scenes can say anything. Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "You come to me, then who will they look for?" ”

"Master Hou is saying that they will go to their backers or the main family, and those behind them will put pressure on the Ministry of Works?" Qian Dui said: "In that case, the power of these merchants after being beaten cannot be underestimated. ”

"The people don't fight with the officials, but if the officials fight with each other, it won't be an ordinary fight." Xuan Shijing said: "Although it is not clear what is going on between the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, but early tomorrow morning, the officials of the two ministries will be involved, and that is certain." Xuan Shijing said: "This matter is delayed for the time being, two percent is the bottom line, talk slowly, look at the direction of the court, how much can those businessmen under the nobles give, on this, let's follow the crowd, otherwise this matter will pass, and our life will not be too good." ”

"Yes." The money pile responded.

Qian Dui came to Zhuangzi to see Xuan Shijing for the Ministry of Industry to find the Chamber of Commerce to lower the price, and he couldn't do anything about it, so he came to ask Xuan Shijing's opinion.

It's good to want to save money for the government, but it's not a good thing to overly oppress businessmen.

The businessman stalks his neck and doesn't supply you with materials, can the Ministry of Industry still rob you?

The construction of the new palace, His Majesty Li Er is willing, this matter is completed, a very happy thing, if the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households because of this to spoil the interest of His Majesty Li Er, this end, you can imagine, anyway, it will not be much better.

Since Qian Dui is here, Xuan Shijing can't let him run in vain, let Qian Dui temporarily send some of the existing materials to Zhuangzi in Dongshan County, and Xuan Shijing will have to solve Xiao Yu's residence within half a month.

Not only Xiao Yu's residence, but the number of gentlemen in the academy will continue to increase in the future, so you can't let people live in the inn in the Dongshan County Market, build Xiao Yu's residence first, and then plan the rest slowly.

"Go to the engineering college for me, find some masons to come over, and I will look for the rest of the manpower in Zhuangzi." Xuan Shijing said: "We have to build another house on Zhuangzi." ”

"Yes." Qian Dui responded: "It's just that most of the craftsmen in the College of Engineering have been transferred to Longshouyuan, which is ......."

"After all, the new palace has not officially started, and it is just to do some foundation work, and the masons will not need it for the time being, and the drawings of this palace have not yet been scored." Xuan Shijing said.

Now the levy of 120,000 conscripts is also taking advantage of the right season, do what can be done first, and then go back for a good year, and the next year will continue, an autumn and winter season, the Yan brothers can also get the drawings of the palace out, His Majesty Li Er will also finalize the drawings, after the beginning of spring, it is a major matter of cultivation, and it will not start again until the things in the field are busy.

Xuan Shijing is also seeing the stitches here, otherwise what else can I do? Let Xiao Yu continue to live in Gao Shilian's mansion? Even if the two of them don't have any opinions, Xuan Shijing can't help it.

In the afternoon, Xuan Shijing went to the academy as usual, and in his spare time, he talked about it with Gao Shilian.

"If it is true that the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household want to make a profit from it, I am afraid that they will offend too many nobles in the court." Gao Shilian sighed and said: "The big injury in Chang'an City, the backer behind it may not serve in the court, but its own relationship is not generally complicated, if it is just for the sake of saving the treasury, it is not a big problem, and it is just a will of His Majesty to solve it." ”
