The four of them each had a set, so they couldn't carry it back.
When they left Xingqing Palace, Wei Zhigu left in a hurry again.
"I found that Li Yi has a weakness." Zhang Shuo looked at Yao Chong and said.
Yao Chong listened but didn't reply.
Zhang Shuo said, "Li Yi loves the people, so we can use them to threaten him."
"Good idea. Capture some people and bring them to Zhuangzi. Ask Li Yi if he wants to hand over other good things. If he doesn't, kill them."
Lu Huaishen praised and had a specific plan.
"Good idea. I'll have to trouble the two of you. I'll ask His Majesty to give you an intact corpse." Yao Chong also agreed.
"Of course it's impossible for us. If it were Tubo or Turkic spies, Li Yi might …" Zhang Shuo said from another angle.
"Daoji, are you saying that Tubo and Turkic spies captured the people of the Tang dynasty to threaten Li Yi, and we're just going to sit back and watch?"
Yao Chong glared at Zhang Shuo and walked in front with his hands behind his back.
"I'm just joking." Zhang Shuo chuckled. He seemed to be quite happy.
The next day, the people who rushed to the kilns in each county couldn't laugh.
Owner Li of the Li Family's farmstead in Ba Shui had said that whoever gave him a defective product would compensate him ten times if it was fake.
At the same time, the people of Wugong County would discuss the compensation with other counties. Wugong County was not allowed to buy new glaze.
If other kilns bought glaze to Wugong County, once it was discovered, not only would they not sell the glaze this time, they would also not sell the glaze in the future.
When the news spread throughout Chang 'an, the big businessmen who thought they knew Li Yi better sneered.
You deserve it! Li Yi came up with an idea to give the people of Chang 'an more work to do.
Those with kilns could earn money. It was a good deal for everyone.
However, you played tricks and didn't give Li Dongzhu any face.
How could the magnanimous Prime Minister Li Dongzhu lose face so easily? Are you stupid? Crippled, right? The kiln in Wugong County … Give it to him. Continue giving it to him.
The commoners who received pottery that was obviously different from normal pottery were still upset before today.
Suddenly, he realized that the weather was too good. Look at the dark clouds, layer by layer, it made him breathe freely.
Yes, it was a cloudy day with dark clouds looming over the city.
From this, it could be concluded that a person's mood might not necessarily change with the weather.
"Quick, my family didn't throw them away. Return me ten of them. If I don't exchange them, I won't be able to buy new glazes."
"But these guys have been assembled into a complete set. Take out the extra ones and use them."
"I exchanged two bad ones with Second Uncle's family for a good one. Can I get it back?"
"My child accidentally dropped a badly shaped one, so it counts, right?"
"Li Dongzhu is a great philanthropist. He has been helping us find jobs."
"That's right. I want to betroth my daughter to Li Dongzhu. No betrothal gifts."
"Ah ~ Bah!"
“he~~tui！”
"Pfft!"
The commoners who received bad pottery ran home to take it out and asked for compensation.
"Our Gaoling County kiln will compensate. If you get bad pottery from Gaoling County, come over. We will record it and give you the next batch."
The Gaoling County kiln compromised in order to get the right to buy new glazes.
"You can only buy them after you bring them over. You are not allowed to buy them now." The commoners were afraid of being cheated again and made a request.
"Our Lantian County kiln will compensate."
"Yunyang County kiln agrees."
"Huayin County kiln agrees."
One by one, the county kilns agreed.
"Let's discuss how much pottery Wugong County has left. We don't need them to take anymore. We will pay ten times the previous defective ones. We will give them one by one."
In order to reduce their losses, they stopped Wugong County from taking any more. Otherwise, Wugong County would pay ten times the compensation.
"Aiya, Wugong County is taking advantage of us. They don't need to give us enough. We can earn the rest for free." Someone said sarcastically.
Wugong County not giving them any more pottery was indeed taking advantage of them, but their losses were greater.
If other places started to use new glazes, Wugong County would not be able to get them. They could only burn the original variety and the price would be much lower.
If a new glaze was in the hands of a kiln, they would have to face pressure from all sides.
If they could hold on, this kiln would become a famous kiln.
If someone sold glazes, they would give all the other kilns except for one kiln. That would be the end of the business.
The people who came over from the Wugong County kiln all looked pale.
Everyone was selling pottery. In fact, they did not earn much, especially the capital government. Almost every county had a kiln.
Now that the other kilns had obtained new glazes, they would have to sell the old ones at cost price to raise funds to buy more glazes.
What about Wugong County? Could they not open the kiln? Could they not open the kiln? Could they change their profession?
"Li Yi, I will fight you. You bullied Wugong County!" Someone suddenly shouted, looking like he wanted to fight Li Yi.
The people around him pulled him back. Some hugged his waist, some pulled his arm, and some hugged his neck.
Some people came over with pottery to register and shouted, "When you Wugong County bullied us, didn't you think this day would come?"
"That's right. You can bully others, but you can't let others not sell to you. Your Wugong County kiln is amazing."
"I am from Wugong County. Don't drag the entire county into this. This year, we will use Li Dongzhu's good farming tools and fertilizer."
"Let him go. Let him go. Who will he fight with? Can he get into Zhuangzi? It's okay if he can't get in. If he sneaks in, he will be beaten to death by the farmers. "
"When we knead the mud for your kiln, we pick out the big grains of sand. You just give us those broken things. "
"His Majesty said that it is easy to bully the people, but difficult to bully the heavens."
The people began to attack again, criticizing the Wugong County kiln's bad behavior.
Some people even wiped their tears as they spoke. They had been wronged before. Their hands were swollen from kneading mud. They had to soak them in hot water and continue kneading the next day.
The other people from Wugong County did not stop them. The person who said that he would fight with his life also stopped. It seemed that he did not really want to fight with his life.
Someone next to him kindly advised, "What are you waiting for? If you offend Li Dongzhu, quickly think of a way. Li Dongzhu is easy to talk to."
"That's right. Our salt merchants from Shu offended Li Dongzhu. We gave him 1.5 million catties of well salt. Li Dongzhu also invited us to tea."
The merchants from Shu assisted. Go, pay a certain price, and they believed that they could be forgiven.
The registration continued. Who had what kind of pottery? They wrote it down and paid back. If one was short, they would pay back ten.
The pottery was marked, and there were ways to identify the kilns.
The people were not short of all kinds of people. Previously, they had used a few bad pottery to exchange for a good pottery.
Of course, the other party did not agree. Both sides argued and negotiated, and the government sent people to mediate.
For example, the two sides now split the profits. If one bad pottery was compensated with ten, each family would get five.
Or it could be four to six, three to seven.
There were also people who pestered endlessly. They brought their own pottery over. Just because it looked a little irregular, they insisted that the other party compensate them with ten.
The key point was that this pottery was not obtained from this event. It was bought in the past.
The kiln did not want to do this. In the past, some pottery was sold at a special price. Who knew if this was a special product?
Both sides argued again. The bailiffs mediated. Can't they give a plate? This is a bowl. It's just right.
The people who came to take advantage of the situation were unified. The helplessness of the kiln. Here, don't make trouble. Just this once, not next time.
