196 strings of money was placed in front of Blacksmith Xu. Even the honest Blacksmith Xu couldn't help but be tempted. In Chang 'an City, there were many people like Blacksmith Xu. Soon, the first batch of profiteers appeared in Chang' an City.
"Manager, load 300 pounds of iron for me!" In front of Zhangsun Iron Exposition, a middle-aged man pulled an ox cart and said loudly to Zhangsun Quan.
Zhangsun Quan was startled and said in surprise, "Isn't this Boss Ren of the Front Street Vegetable Store? Why are you selling so much iron? "
Boss Ren pushed the leaves on the ox cart and said with a hollow laugh, "I want to buy some iron to make tools."
"It seems that Boss Ren's business is booming recently!" Zhangsun Quan was startled, but he didn't suspect anything. He took the money quickly and ordered the waiter to load the cart.
Then, the owner of the East Street Cloth Store, the owner of the Front Street Soup Pancake Store … and so on. There were also many ordinary people who pulled the wooden cart. They asked for the price and paid directly to load the cart.
The same phenomenon happened in all the major iron shops in Chang 'an City. These people bought large quantities of iron from the major iron shops in Chang' an City and sold them to the Mo Family Village. There was no risk and the profit was great.
"Hey, the business is very good today? It's almost out of stock? "Zhangsun Quan looked at the empty warehouse and said in surprise.
At the same time, he was secretly proud. Even without such a big customer like the Mo Family Village, the iron of the Zhangsun Family would still be sold.
However, there was a strange phenomenon that puzzled Zhangsun Quan. Many people came to buy more iron in the morning after they bought the iron, and the quantity was even greater.
Zhangsun Quan was puzzled and quickly sent the waiter to inquire about it secretly.
"Manager, it's not good!" A waiter ran in hurriedly.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a panic?" Zhangsun Quan reprimanded.
"No, there is a rumor in Chang 'an City that the Mo Family Village is buying iron at a premium of 10%?" The waiter said anxiously.
"What? The Mo Family Village is buying iron at a premium of 10%? " Zhangsun Quan's face was livid. Of course, he knew the purpose of his young master to restrict the supply of iron to the Mo Family Village. If the Mo Family Village easily broke the situation, the consequences would be obvious and Zhangsun Chong would lose face.
"I see!" Zhangsun Quan was furious. No wonder the business of's business today.
"Quick! Seal up all the iron materials and don't sell them. "Zhangsun Quan hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.
"Yes!" The Zhangsun Of Chang City.
"What? Not selling? My family is in urgent need of iron materials." Boss Ren said discontentedly.
Zhangsun Quan's face immediately became irritated. You've already come three times in a row, and each time, you've used a different excuse. Even if your family made everything into ironware, you wouldn't need so much iron.
Of Zhangsun 'of Zhangsun Quan of Chang of Zhangsun's Of''s's..
In the Zhangsun Family's iron store, Zhangsun Quan was sweating profusely and pacing around anxiously. He kept urging the accountant, "Have you calculated how much iron has been imported into the Mo Village?"
. of Zt t '''s Of ''s..... of of Zhangs............''t't t.. was.......... of Of's.......
Eight hundred thousand catties of iron was a big business worth tens of thousands of strings of coins. It was unexpected that the Village of Mo's Village had done it in such a strange way.
Zhangsun Quan couldn't help but feel dizzy. Out of the 800,000 kilograms of iron, at least 700,000 kilograms had entered the Mo Family's hands. Then the Mo Family's village wouldn't be short of iron for at least two months. In this way, the young master's plan would fail.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper. Take today as an example. We lost at least two thousand strings of coins!" Zhangsun Tiexing's accountant said confidently.
Two thousand strings of coins was nothing. Mo Jiazi had only spent an extra two thousand strings of coins to make the young master lose face. At that time, what would others think of the Zhangsun family?
"A bunch of lowly commoners!" Zhangsun Quan said with hatred.
These people had actually ruined the Young Master's great plans for just a little bit of profit. In Zhangsun Quan's eyes, they were simply abominable.
Within the Zhangsun Estate.
"In just one day, in just one day, you have made me the laughingstock of Chang 'an City." Zhangsun Chong flew into a rage.
Originally, he thought highly of himself and didn't say that there were few people in the younger generation who could catch his eye. But he didn't expect that he had suffered losses in the hands of Mo Jiazi continuously. This time, he was defeated so miserably.
"Young master, please forgive me! Who knew that Mo Jiazi was so vicious that he lured the people of Chang 'an City to buy iron for him with great profits? I was careless and fell into his trap. "Zhangsun Quan hurriedly apologized.
Zhangsun Chong felt helpless. This was simply an unsolvable method. He could indeed stop the supply of iron to the Mo Family's village, but he couldn't stop others from selling iron. In other words, as long as the iron shops in Chang 'an City continued to sell iron, the Mo Family's village would not be short of iron supply.
As for the compensation of the Mo Family's village, as long as there was the cash cow in the four-wheeled carriage, the extra money was nothing.
As for stopping the supply of iron and raising the price of iron in Chang 'an City, it was even more impossible. Don't forget that there was still the Justice Department. Li Shimin could tolerate the Zhangsun family using iron for profit, but he absolutely couldn't tolerate the behavior of destroying the development of the Tang dynasty.
"Young master, old master invites you in!" The voice of the housekeeper outside the door extinguished Zhangsun Chong's anger instantly.
Zhangsun Chong's face was ugly. Of course, he knew that at this time, his father was looking for him because he knew about today's incident. Everything in the Zhangsun Mansion couldn't be hidden from him.
"Father!"
Following the housekeeper to the study, Zhangsun Chong rushed in and bowed.
In the study, Zhangsun Wuji was sitting upright and handling official business. Zhangsun Chong didn't dare to disturb him and waited quietly.
After a long time, Zhangsun Wuji raised his head and looked at Zhangsun Chong quietly.
"Seems like you still can't let go of Changle?" Zhangsun Wuji sighed.
"Father, I …" Zhangsun Chong's face instantly turned red. If it was before, it would still be fine. Now that the whole world knew that the two of them were close relatives, if the news spread that he still couldn't forget about Changle, it would be a huge scandal.
"Father, so what if we are close relatives? Moreover, there were so many marriages in history, and not all of them had problems." Zhangsun Chong defended himself.
"Fool! Even if you have such thoughts, you better bury them in the bottom of your heart! "Zhangsun Wuji reprimanded angrily.
At his level, for the sake of the clan's benefits, he naturally wouldn't care about close relatives. However, he couldn't disregard the imperial clan's face.
"At least on the surface, Mo Jiazi is considered to have done a meritorious deed first. For the time being, we can't have any conflicts with Mo Jiazi!" Zhangsun Wuji shouted coldly. He couldn't disregard the imperial clan's face. At this moment, when facing Mo Jiazi, it would be easy for others to associate it with the previous marriage annulment incident.
"Yes!" Zhangsun Chong lowered his head and replied.
"After a period of time, your husband will request for a position as the Imperial Clan Vice-Minister. You don't have to bother about such a lowly business!" Zhangsun Wuji waved his hand and said.
Looking at Zhangsun Chong who was unwilling to accept it, Zhangsun Wuji couldn't help but sigh. He recalled the words that Qin Qiong unintentionally said in the imperial court recently.
