In the study, Gong Yuanwai asked Zhang Long: "You are from Prince Xian's Mansion, and I am also your father-in-law. We are also a family. Can you tell me what is going on with Zhenguan Salt?"
Zhang Long said with a smile: "If my father-in-law wants to hoard Zhenguan salt, then don't do it."
Businessmen are said to be very profitable, and Zhang Long didn't want his father-in-law to lose his pants after being cheated by King Xian.
Gong Yuanwai shook his head and said: "I have no idea of hoarding Zhenguan salt. After all, Zhenguan salt has the same name as Zhenguan year. I am not a fool. This is clearly against His Majesty. "
Zhang Long looked at his father-in-law with a little surprise. He didn't expect that he was quite clever.
Later, Zhang Long said: "My father-in-law's analysis is correct. This Zhenguan Salt is indeed related to His Majesty. But please keep this matter confidential,"
Gong Yuanwai took a deep breath, and then said : "I think I have to gather some points, otherwise If someone discovers that my Gong Mansion, which has a great business, does not have any salt, it seems a bit unreasonable."
Zhang Long said: "Father-in-law, after we talked today, after we left this door. , Don’t let the third party know.” His expression was very serious.
Gong Yuanwai also knew the powerful relationship. He nodded and said: "I know."
Zhang Long said with a smile: "The birth of Zhenguan salt this time was caused by my prince to cause trouble for the five surnames and Qiwang. It seems that a few days ago, Her Royal Highness Princess Xian put the hidden The Crown Princess was carried to Prince Xian's Mansion in a sedan chair, and was then impeached in the court by several families with the surname Wu Qiwang. "
"Ahem, cough, cough," Gong Yuanwai felt that His Royal Highness Prince Xian was so damn fierce.
Zhang Long continued: "There is enough Zhenguan salt now. Even if the five surnames and Qiwang join forces, they can't buy all the Zhenguan salt. Therefore, although the current salt price is comparable to that of several major families, The price is about the same, but if people with the fifth surname and Qiwang start to stockpile salt, the price of salt will plummet, and the five surnames and Qiwang will lose money. I want to lose it.
As for your father-in-law’s salt collection, I will inform His Highness, and I believe that Your Highness will compensate your father-in-law for the loss.”
Gong Yuanwai did not expect His Highness Prince Xian. To be so violent, it was like digging a huge pit for people with the fifth surname and Qi Wang, waiting for them to jump into it.
At this time, Gong Yuanwai nodded, and then said seriously to Zhang Long: "Xian son-in-law, how long have you been married to Xiner? Is there still no movement in her stomach?"
"Ahem, father-in-law, it's like this. Xin'er's body was very thin before. I'm not that anxious about the child." Zhang Long explained awkwardly.
"Hey, my Nuo Da Gong Mansion will have no one to inherit it in the future." He has no son, so in this era when the concept of family succession is very important, not having a son is a painful thing.
"My father-in-law, my mother-in-law and my aunts can come with me to Prince Xian's mansion and let Prince Xian take a look at it for you," Zhang Long said.
"His Royal Highness, King Xian, knows medical skills?" Gong Yuanwai asked in shock.
"Medical skills are unparalleled in the world. He can revive human flesh and bones." Zhang Long admired Jiang Ci's medical skills very much.
"How is your relationship with His Highness Prince Xian?" Gong Yuanwai asked cautiously.
"I and the other three people came out together with His Highness King Xian. He was our young master when he was in the mountains. And we are very close to each other." Zhang Long also said truthfully.
Gong Yuanwai nodded, then said with a headache: "It's your sister-in-law. His Highness Prince Xian saved her yesterday. She especially wanted to repay His Highness Prince Xian, saying that she wanted to give her body to him. I think that girl It's just wishful thinking, after all, he is a high-ranking prince." In fact, Gong Yuanwai doesn't mind if his daughter becomes the concubine of King Xian. After all, he comes from a merchant family and feels inferior to others.
Especially compared to those nobles, it is even more insignificant. As if the other party could crush them to death with one finger, he has been walking on thin ice in these years.
Zhang Long said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is also pretty and has a lotus flower. But I can only mention this matter to my prince, but I dare not make this decision for His Highness Prince Xian."
Gong Yuanwai said: "A good son-in-law is interested."
At this moment, the people in Chang'an City all laughed happily.
Several big families were planning to increase the price of salt, but they did not expect that as soon as the price of salt was raised, the business of their stores would drop. All gone, they all went to buy Zhenguan salt. Not only that, the quality of Zhenguan salt is countless times better than theirs.
In the Chang'an mansion of the Wang family in Taiyuan with the surname Qiwang,
People with the five surnames and Qiwang are discussing how to deal with the emergence of Zhenguan salt. If Zhenguan salt continues to develop, then the salt of their major families will be useless.
The people from the Cui family in Qinghe said: "Such a good salt, is Li Shimin stupid, selling it so cheaply?"
The people from the Cui family in Boling said: "Actually, I think so too. It’s cheap, actually. If the price doubles, the big and small families in Chang’an, as well as the wealthy, will definitely buy it. As for those common people, who cares whether they live or die.”
People from the Zheng family in Xingyang said: "In that case, why don't we buy out the Zhenguan salt and stockpile it. When the Zhenguan salt is sold out, we will take out the Zhenguan salt and raise the price. Isn’t it good to sell it several times over?”
The people from the Li family in Longxi praised: “This is a good method. When the time comes, Li Shimin will have to come and beg me to wait.”
"In this case, without further ado, let's go stock up on salt. Then let Li Shimin come to the door in person and beg me to wait." The Millennium Family is such a arrogant person, and what they want to do is to make the emperor bow to them.
"The other thing is that we must investigate the origin of Zhenguan Salt. I don't believe it. Could it be that so much good salt appeared in Chang'an City out of thin air." Someone suggested.
"Yes, this must be investigated clearly," the man's tone was full of solemnity.
The existence of the five surnames and Qi Wang is nothing more than mastering knowledge. This is their ultimate goal. After all, poor families cannot even afford books, so where can they go to study? Isn't this a joke?
Moreover, now that the imperial examinations have begun, some people now can't even afford to eat, so they have the money to study. Du Te Miao was occupied by students from aristocratic families.
The incident of collecting salt is not only happening in the five surnames and Qiwang, but also in other big families.
Everything is tens of thousands of kilograms. Tens of thousands of kilograms of Zhenguan salt are taken home and hoarded. When I got up, I thought that when the Zhenguan salt in Chang'an was sold out, I could make a lot of money out of it. These people have good ideas.
At this moment, in Chang'an City, on the only way to go to the Imperial College, a shop quietly opened.
If anyone knows King Xian, the shopkeeper of the bookstore will definitely salute respectfully: "Good morning, Mrs. Fish."
