If the price of honeycomb coal is really reduced to less than ten cents, how can we make money?
This Sun Yue is really a bastard!
The more Emperor Taihe thought about it, the angrier he became. However, Sun Yue was different from He Guangzheng. He was always upright and set an example by himself.
Even though Emperor Taihe disliked him for being stubborn and stubborn, he had to admire his character.
Moreover, this person has a very good reputation among the people, unlike hypocrites like Xie Yun.
Emperor Taihe knew that he said this not because he was bribed by the coal merchants, but simply because he wanted to lower the price of coal, so he felt it was a bit difficult to deal with.
He couldn't have Sun Yue arrested and interrogated, but it was obviously not appropriate to ask the princess to lower the price of coal to less than ten cents.
Just as he was hesitating, Sun Yue spoke again, "If Your Majesty finds this difficult, why not summon the Princess to the palace and personally ask her opinion? Perhaps the Princess, concerned for the country and the people, would be willing to take the initiative to lower the price of coal?"
Emperor Taihe's face turned even darker. What a bastard!
Sun Yue has said so. If he doesn't summon the eldest princess into the palace, wouldn't it seem like he is deliberately covering up for her?
Although he was dissatisfied, Emperor Taihe still sent someone to summon the eldest princess into the palace.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, the eldest princess, dressed in court robes, walked into the hall with a cold face.
As soon as she arrived, she looked at Sun Yue and asked, "Are you asking me to lower the price of honeycomb coal?"
Sun Yue bowed respectfully to her and said without flinching, "It is you, my humble servant."
The eldest princess smiled coldly: "I can lower the price, but there is a condition."
Sun Yue immediately said, "As long as Your Highness is willing to lower the price of coal to less than ten cents, even if you take my life, I will have no complaints!"
The princess sneered disdainfully, "Why would I take your life? Is your life really worth ten thousand taels of gold?"
If I were to lower the price of honeycomb coal to less than ten cents as you requested, I would lose tens of thousands of taels of gold in a month.
How can you pay for all this gold? Even if I sell you by the pound, you still can't afford it."
At the end of the conversation, the princess shook her head, chuckled, and said, "So I won't take your life, but I just want to ask, if I lower the price, how will those coal merchants deal with it?
What about the people outside the capital? Where can they buy cheap coal?
I can sell coal at a loss to benefit the people of Beijing. But there are countless coal merchants in the world. Will they also be forced to lose money?
Or do you only dare to make demands on me, the eldest princess of a country, but not on those coal merchants?
If they lose money, they might lose everything. But if they don't lose money, the people outside the capital will continue to buy coal at high prices.
Since Censor Sun is so concerned about the country and the people, I wonder if he has any solutions?
It's not like this, as the eldest princess of a country, is going to be responsible for the sales of coal mines in Daxia and compete with all the coal merchants in the world, right? "
Sun Yue frowned and was speechless after being asked.
The eldest princess did not urge him. She bowed to Emperor Taihe with great grace and was then given a seat by Emperor Taihe. She sat there calmly and waited.
Situ Yuan had discussed the price issue with her a long time ago, and he also guessed that after the honeycomb coal formula was leaked, the current selling price would inevitably be questioned.
So prices can be lowered, but they cannot be lowered at will.
Otherwise, people will always complain that the price is too high and ask for a price reduction. How can this business continue?
The eldest princess also knew that the poor people had a hard life.
She is willing to benefit the people, but why should she only let Taiping Coal Mine lower its prices?
Just because she is the eldest princess, does that mean she deserves to be bullied? Does she have to make a loss in business to gain publicity?
Why?
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Yue spoke with difficulty, "If the princess is willing to disclose the honeycomb briquettes formula, I think coal merchants will surely follow suit and lower the price of coal."
"Why?" The eldest princess opened her red lips slightly, "You are really ridiculous. You want me to hand over the formula with just a few words.
By then, you will be remembered in history, but I will suffer the consequences. What an upright and honest censor you are!"
