Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 260 The profits of the ironworks are astonishing, and Li Er speaks highly of Yuchihuan
Liu Rengui led [-] sailors to drive the Wuya boat to Chang'an City. Before they left, they stood on the deck and waved goodbye to Yuchi Huan and them!
Yuchihuan's memorial to the imperial court was also brought to Chang'an City together with taxes!
The content of the memorial is mainly to state the economic development of Zhongzhou and give some references to the Ministry of Household Affairs!
After the five-tooth boat disappeared from Yuchihuan's sight, he returned to the county with the civil and military officials.

And not long after Yuchihuan left the Xi County Wharf, Hou Fu appeared near the wharf mysteriously!

"After half a month of observation, I finally figured out the rules of Yuchihuan!"

Hou Fu was surprised and delighted and said: "If the old man guesses correctly, Yuchi Huan will go to the Zijing Coal Mine to inspect in seven days, and then it will be a good time to assassinate him!"

Next, Hou Fu wrote a book and reported the plan to assassinate Yuchihuan to Hou Shi'an.

That night, Hou Shi'an sent a letter to Hou Fu by flying pigeons, supporting Hou Fu to assassinate Yuchihuan in the Zijing coal mine seven days later!
"Yuchihuan, this time you are doomed!"

Hou Fu was overjoyed when he got Hou Shi'an's approval!

……

Gyeonggi-do, Xianyang Ferry!

At noon the next day, the Zhongzhou Navy led by Liu Rengui finally arrived at Xianyang Ferry, and the coal merchants who had been waiting for a long time began to board the ship to carry coal!
And the taxes and steel ingots in the five-tooth boat were personally escorted by the government soldiers to the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry to serve as supervisors!

This time, there are a total of one thousand stone ingots that need to be carried!

In order to transport these steel ingots, the Ministry of Industry sent [-] oxcarts!
Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, even boarded the ship to inspect the steel ingots himself!
When the steel ingot shining with silver light appeared in front of Yan Lide, he was dumbfounded and said: "This steel is better than tin iron, it can be compared with Baisteel!"

"Master Yan, Captain Yuchi said that this is modified steel with low carbon content, so the quality is better than the previous steel!"

Liu Rengui nodded, echoing Yan Lide's words.

Yan Lide said with a smile on his face: "Unexpectedly, the little governor Yuchi improved the iron-making process. This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people!"

"Master Yan, if there is no problem, you can load the car!"

Liu Rengui explained: "At the end of the day, you will have to go to the household department to pay taxes!"

"There is no problem with these steels, you can go to work!"

After Yan Lide finished speaking, he immediately ordered the civilian men to carry the steel and load it into the truck.

Liu Rengui then led a hundred government soldiers to escort [-] guan taxes to the household department.

Five Wuya boats are temporarily anchored at Xianyang Ferry.

An hour later, Yan Lide finally loaded the thousand stones of steel!

"These steels are equivalent to one-twentieth of Datang's annual output."

Yan Lide sighed and said: "Yuchihuan has made such a great achievement in Zhongzhou, it's hard not to get promoted!"

Next, Yan Lide took the yamen servants of the Ministry of Industry to escort the steel and returned to the Ministry of Industry to serve as a prisoner.

……

Chang'an City, Ministry of Households!

In the afternoon, Liu Rengui finally delivered a month's profit of the Zhongzhou iron-making workshop to the household department!
After inspecting the silver ingots, Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, made sure that there was nothing wrong with it. He laughed heartily and said, "Liu Rengui, you are the one who paid the most taxes in Zhongzhou this month haha!"

Liu Rengui clasped his hands and said, "Master Liu, these achievements are all because of the good management of the little captain Yuchi!"

"Liu Rengui, don't worry, I will present the memorial to your Majesty at the meeting of the commander-in-chief Yuchi!"

Liu Zhenghui and Yuchihuan are also old acquaintances, so he will not embarrass Yuchihuan.

"If that's the case, then I will take my leave!" Liu Rengui then bid farewell to Liu Zhenghui.

Liu Zhenghui sent Liu Rengui away from the household department with a wave of his hand.

"The old man is going to face the saint now!"

Liu Zhenghui then left the six ministries of the three provinces and went to the Ganlu Hall to find Li Er.

When Li Er learned that Liu Zhenghui was asking for an audience, he immediately ordered Liu Zhenghui to enter the hall for an audience.

"Wei Chen sees His Majesty!"

As soon as Liu Zhenghui stepped into the Ganlu Hall, he saluted Li Erxing Chen!

"Liu Zhenghui, what do you want from me?" Li Er sat on the dragon chair and asked Liu Zhenghui condescendingly.

Liu Zhenghui took out Yuchihuan's memorial and said, "Your Majesty, the heavens are auspicious!"

Li Erlong looked very joyful and said: "Aiqing, where does the auspiciousness come from?"

"Your Majesty, Yu Chihuan, the governor of Zhongzhou, will report to the household department today. Zhongzhou's iron-making workshop can make a profit of [-] yuan a month, and the household department can earn [-] yuan a year!"

Liu Zhenghui reported the good news to Li Er with his head held high!

"Can Zhongzhou iron-making workshops pay [-] guan a year in taxes?"

Li Er jumped up against the case and said excitedly: "The annual tax of the Tang court is only more than 100 million guan. Xiao Yuchi is indeed my lucky star!"

Liu Zhenghui echoed: "Your Majesty, Yuchihuan is indeed a lucky star who benefits the country and the people!"

Li Er thought for a while, then snorted coldly and said: "I originally wanted to restore the official Xiao Yuchi, but you are not kidding, Xiao Yuchi must stay in Zhongzhou for three years before he can return to Beijing!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Liu Zhenghui gloated and said: "Your Majesty, Yu Chihuan likes to impeach court officials too much in the court, you should let him shine for Datang in Zhongzhou!"

Li Ermei smiled and said: "I think so too hahaha!"

Liu Zhenghui handed Yuchihuan's memorial to Li Er for review.

After reading Yuchihuan's memorial, Li Er returned it to Liu Zhenghui and took it back to the Ministry of Accounts for filing.

Liu Zhenghui then bid farewell to Li Er and left Ganlu Hall.

Li Er didn't smile until Liu Zhenghui left and said, "Xiao Yuchi not only invents good things, but also manages the economy well!"

In fact, every move of Yuchihuan in Zhongzhou is under the surveillance of Li Er!
But Li Er didn't expect that the iron-making workshop in Xi County was so profitable!
"Go to the Neiku to take a hundred bolts of silk to Duke E's mansion, and say it's a gift from Xiao Yuchi!"

Li Er decided to reward Yuchihuan.

"I obey the order!" The prince did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the eunuch who passed the order to collect the reward and go to Yuchi's house.

……

Suzaku Street, the mansion of Duke E!

When the eunuch delivered the decree to hand over one hundred bolts of silk to Yu Chigong, Yu Chigong said with a face full of surprise: "Huan'er must have brought benefits to His Majesty again!"

The eldest lady echoed: "Your Majesty's words are very true, the benefits your majesty will get are probably not less than a hundred times the value of silk!"

"Miss, be careful!"

Yu Chigong booed suddenly, worried that Li Er's words would be overheard during the discussion between himself and his wife!
The eldest lady also wisely shut up!

In the end, Yuchi Gong took the eldest lady home and whispered.

……

Gyeonggi-do, Xianyang Ferry!

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Rengui returned to the Wuya ship and set sail back to Zhongzhou.

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Yan Lide, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, sent their servants to see off the Zhongzhou navy.

Early the next morning, Li Er discussed the profits of Zhongzhou Ironmaking Workshop during the morning court!
When the civil and military officials learned that the Zhongzhou government-run iron-making workshop had a profit of [-] yuan a month, they were shocked and speechless!

Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, advised Li Er to popularize the technology of the Zhongzhou iron-making workshop throughout the Tang Dynasty, benefiting all people!

Li Er will play Yan Lide's remonstrance on the spot!

From now on, all iron-making workshops in Datang will smelt steel according to the technology of Zhongzhou iron-making workshops!
