"Even if you don't think about the achievements of the past, you have to be considerate of our hard work!"
"The high price of ironware is not what I expected."
"The iron smelting tax is so high that the imperial court took [-]% of it for nothing."
"Here, Chen Qing spread rumors that ironware will be cheaper than wild vegetables in the future. Isn't this cutting off our way of life!"
Zhuo Tianlu couldn't help sighing when he mentioned this matter.
Cheng Ji smiled and nodded in agreement, but he didn't dare to speak nonsense like him.
The Zhuo family is an imperial merchant appointed by the emperor. After three generations, the Zhuo family has already established deep roots.
The Cheng family is Xunzi's marginal blood relatives, and Li Si once studied with Xunzi.
Relying on this kind of oblique relationship, he got in touch with the current prime minister.
Naturally, they are not as confident as the Zhuo family.
"Oh... that widow doesn't know the general idea."
"The Bashu Chamber of Commerce has something to do, but it just sits idly by."
"I will definitely go to the door someday to seek justice."
Zhuo Tianlu said angrily and regretfully.
The famous Ba Widow Qing in history is famous all over the world for smelting cinnabar and providing mercury for the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.
He raised a private army, had thousands of servants, and tens of thousands of vassals. He was a well-deserved top tycoon in Shu.
Not only that, the widow Qing also donated money and materials to build the Great Wall and resist the Huns.
At this time, he had been 'invited' to Xianyang City by the first emperor, and gave the servants of the mansion to live for the rest of his life as a show of honor.
Although the widow Qing is a female class, her strength is stable and equal to that of Zhuo and Cheng.
And she was able to speak in front of the first emperor.
When Zhuo Tianlu held a Hongmen banquet, the first thing that came to his mind was to ask the widow to come forward, only she can hold the scene.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually claimed that he would not be sick, which disappointed him greatly.
The sound of footsteps came from the stairs.
Everyone couldn't help turning their heads in unison.
With a faint smile on the corner of Chen Qing's mouth, he climbed up the stairs.
"Young Master Chen is here to welcome you. Forgive me for my sins."
Zhuo Tianlu and Cheng Ji greeted him with smiles on their faces.
"Ah."
"I think you are indeed guilty."
Chen Qing nodded casually, and the two of them froze in place at what he said.
"Just now when I was downstairs, I saw two people poking their heads. I thought it was a thief from somewhere, but they shrank back when they saw me."
"It turned out to be the two of you."
Chen Qing rolled up his sleeves and sat down on the first seat carelessly.
"The guests come to the door, but the host stays away. Is this the principle of your hospitality?"
Zhuo Tianlu and Cheng Ji looked at each other stupidly.
It has long been heard that Chen Qing is arrogant and domineering, and has no one in his eyes. Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times!
Cheng Ji smiled apologetically and bowed: "Young Mansion Chen, I was about to go downstairs to greet you, but I didn't expect you to come up first. Please don't blame me for being rude."
Zhuo Tianlu didn't want to be wronged.
"Young Master Chen."
"You are in a high position at a young age, so you should be proud."
"You need to know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people."
"How many heroes are there in the world?"
"Too high-spirited, I'm afraid it will miss your own future."
Chen Qing grinned.
In the eyes of Zhuo Tianlu and Cheng Ji, he smiled inexplicably.
"Are you still young if you are not arrogant?"
Chen Qing looked at the two of them contemptuously, and waved grandly.
Xiangli Ling looked nervous and kept winking, signaling him not to be too aggressive.
She put the wooden box in her hand on the case and stepped back lightly.
"Sit down."
"I, Chen Qing, can come today because I have given you enough face."
"Tell me something."
Chen Qing turned his back on customers, put his hands on the table, and his tone showed contempt and impatience.
Zhuo Tianlu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Among the princes and nobles in Xianyang City, the Zhuo family has dealt with quite a few.
But no one has ever taken him seriously like Chen Qing!
Cheng Ji stared at the other party closely, pondering over and over again in his heart: After all, Chen Qing is just making friends with the crown prince, but the crown prince is a crown prince after all, not His Majesty.
How could he have the courage to despise Zhuo and Cheng so much?
In the land of Shu, they were all aristocratic families with thousands of servants, and their wealth was huge, not much worse than the emperor of a local land.
When I arrived in Xianyang, the people who came and went were either rich or noble, and there were all princes, princes, and princes who made good friends.
Even if Chen Qing is the honor of Jiuqing, he is really deceiving people too much!
"Chen Shaofu, I heard that you publicly said that in five years, ten catties of wheat can be exchanged for an iron hoe. Is there such a thing?"
Since the other party was like this, Zhuo Tianlu would not be polite, and asked with an angry look.
Chapter 133 Give you a chance, you are useless!
"I said it."
Chen Qing nodded slowly, frankly admitting.
"you……"
Zhuo Tianlu suddenly became anxious: "Do you know how many processes are needed for an iron hoe from digging ore, to smelting into iron, and then to beating into a tool, and how much material and manpower it takes?"
"Exchanging ten catties of wheat for an iron hoe is a joke in the world!"
"Chen Shaofu, I don't know what will you give to the common people in five years' time?"
"Is it just with your mouth?"
Chen Qing didn't change his face: "Do you still need to teach me what I say and do?"
Zhuo Tianlu's eyes were about to burst, his chest heaved violently, and his gaze seemed to want to eat people.
Seeing this, Cheng Ji said neither humble nor overbearing: "Chen Shaofu, the Bashu iron merchants have no grudges with you in the past, and have no grudges in recent days. Are you doing things like this, harming others and benefiting yourself?"
"His Royal Highness is going to be in charge of industry and commerce. I heard that you have a lot of advice in it."
"If Young Master Chen has any ideas, you can sit down and discuss it."
"I don't dare to talk about other industries. I'm afraid it's difficult for you to handle the matter of iron smelting without Zhuo and Cheng."
Chen Qing smiled mockingly: "A fool like you is ignorant and arrogant."
"Living in Bashu, thinking that because of the right time and place, you can live in peace for a long time, and pass down iron smelting from generation to generation?"
"If I'm not wrong, you are still using skins to blow the iron and make fire with charcoal?"
"Do you know what a coal and steel industrial complex is?"
"The giant wheel of industrialization has run over..."
"You, and you."
"It's just a chicken and a dog. Crushing you to death is almost like crushing a bedbug."
"It's ridiculous that you are going to die without knowing it, and you even set up a banquet and invited me to the banquet."
"Talk about one or two, are you worthy?"
Since he wanted to be a people's entrepreneur, Chen Qing naturally had a mentality in line with his status.
The rise of capital has always been bloody and cruel.
Such as the oil tycoon Rockefeller, the steel magnate Carnegie, and the DuPont family who sent their competitors to fly on earth.
Every giant is stepping on the corpses of its peers, and finally achieves the ultimate goal of monopolizing a certain industry.
Chen Qing owns a coal mine, and his iron smelting technology is not to mention advanced, at least it is much better than Zhuo and Cheng.
Officially, Emperor Shihuang and Fusu supported him.
Playing any card in hand can make them unable to eat.
Facing such a weak opponent, there is no need to say anything nonsense.
Done!
"Young Master Chen!"
"You are too arrogant and domineering!"
Zhuo Tianlu was furious, and his back molars were clenched.
The four dead soldiers raised by the Zhuo family secretly put their hands into their arms, and surrounded them with unfriendly expressions.
The Lord humiliates the minister to death.
In this era when the word loyalty is greater than the sky, even if Zhuo Tianlu ordered to kill Chen Qing on the spot, they would not hesitate at all.
"Ah."
Seeing this, Chen Qing let out a mocking laugh.
He slowly opened the wooden box, revealing a brand new short-barreled musket inside.
Xiang Lixi's craftsmanship is really nothing to say.
Just tell him what you want and how it works, and he can create it in no time.
The disadvantages are still the same as before, the range is short, the accuracy is poor, and it cannot be mass-produced.
But well...
It is just the right time to use it on today's occasion.
Zhuo Tianlu and Cheng Ji looked at him in surprise.
I don't know why Chen Qing suddenly took out a weird iron pipe.
"ignition."
Chen Qing tidied up the matchlock, gestured with the short gun, and beckoned.
"grown ups."
Xiangli Ling panicked.
People just want to discuss with you, so let’s talk about it.
How come he took out his firearm at every turn.
"ignition!"
Chen Qing looked back with a serious expression.
