Chapter 287 For the country or for yourself?

In fact, even if Li Xiang didn't speak, Cui Sanye and Cui Yuncheng had made up their minds. They had to find a place to take care of Cui Yunzhu. At least they couldn't let him out in the past few days. This guy had no control over his words. , and the relationship with his father-in-law's family is very good, so if Li Xiang wants to watch this guy, it will save the two of them.

"Second uncle... Yuncheng..."

Cui Yunzhu wanted to follow him, but two black-armored warriors stood in front of him. This guy usually had good martial arts skills, but the pressure these two black-armored warriors put on him made him immediately know that he was not theirs. opponent.

"Since Mr. Cui is here, just stay here for a few more days. Even though this is a farm, the master room over there is very luxurious. Whether it's food, drink, or even a girl in heaven and earth, I can even find Mr. Cui, just relax these days and ask for leave from the Yamen."

Li Xiang said with a smile, even your family members agree, is it possible that you can still go out of your way? What's more, the surroundings of the farm are heavily guarded. They are filled with slaves and prisoners of war to prevent them from escaping. These people have escape plans every month, but so far no one has been able to escape. You can be better than them. ?

"In that case, why bother His Highness the Grand Sun?"

Cui Yunzhu has also been in the officialdom for so many years. Seeing that he can't change everything, he can only stay there.

In fact, he has an obligation to his wife when he stays in this place. If he doesn't stay here, the couple will most likely turn against each other in the future. Now he only says that His Highness the Grand Sun has detained him. When the time comes, his wife will hold him accountable. Get up, can you still run to the East Palace to find Li Xiang?

"We are all friends, is this a big deal? You all listen to me and take good care of Master Cui these two days. If Master Cui loses a hair, I will kill you all later. Eight dollars, no matter what kind of requirements Mr. Cui has, he must satisfy those who can satisfy them, and he must find a way to satisfy those who cannot satisfy them..."

Li Xiang told the people under his command, and all of them listened honestly. If Cui Yunzhu heard these words normally, he might still be happy in his heart, but the smile on his face now is uglier than crying.

After settling this matter, Li Xiang was in a very good mood, but on the way back, Li Xiang had been thinking about a problem. According to the original plan, he would crack down on the price of salt and bring it down. Then the major The family will suffer.

This is nothing in itself, this is also the plan that was made before, but now Li Xiang doesn't know what he is thinking in his heart, and his eyes are drifting across the northern imperial city intentionally or unintentionally.

Are you listening to the emperor? Or do you want to seek benefits for yourself?

If you listen to the emperor, then this matter will be relatively simple. You can directly take over the salt from the Cui family, and then arrange for large quantities of refined salt to be shipped. The cost of salt production for each household is kept there, and the quality of Li Xiang's salt is If it is much better than them, then they can only have a lower price than Li Xiang.

Of course, we have to learn lessons this time. We cannot put it on the market so easily. We should create public opinion across the country and let most people know the price of our salt.

There is better salt, and the price is even lower. The salt in the hands of major families will definitely not be sold.

This forced them to lower their prices and even make ends meet. They had already invested a lot of money in the Yanyin auction, and now they couldn't even get their money back. The Emperor's attack on them was like hitting them seven inches deep.

If the emperor and I are a family, then this move is nothing, and we have to do it, but the emperor often finds trouble for us now, which makes us a little bit at a loss. Take the emperor's grandson as an example, then we should fight for it ourselves. of.

Li Xiang also had another idea in his mind, which was to discuss with the major families and ask them to give up a large part of their assets. We will treat the salt incident as if it never happened. You can do whatever you want. Although This blow was a bit harsh, but at least it wouldn't wipe them out.

There are major families restraining Li Shimin, so Li Shimin will not look for trouble on us, and he must have a certain amount of energy to keep an eye on the major families. But if the major families are hit so hard that they can't raise their heads, Li Shimin's gaze may It's on our heads.

Looking at the history of the entire Zhenguan period, it was Li Chengqian and Li Taidou at the beginning, followed by Li Tai and Li Kedou. If it were not for Li Shimin's push, the brothers might not have such a result.

"Your Highness, Miss Changsun's carriage."

When Li Xiang was thinking about the problem immediately, he suddenly heard the report from his subordinates. It turned out to be his cousin's carriage.

Changsun Pingting gave Li Xiang a lot of help in the early days of starting his business, and she has always cared about Li Xiang, so Li Xiang has to show the necessary respect, even though he is now the emperor's grandson of the Tang Dynasty. But Li Xiang still bowed down and dismounted obediently, and then greeted his eldest grandson Pingting.

"This is a sweat of running somewhere. Get in the car, I want to go to the East Palace..."

As the eldest grandson Pingting spoke, she took out her brocade handkerchief and wiped Li Xiang's sweat. She was truly a qualified aunt.

Speaking of the fate of the eldest daughter, the eldest grandson is really bumpy. It is said that her father is also the eldest grandson Wuji of the Qing Dynasty, and her husband's family should also be a first-class family. Unfortunately, just after the engagement, her husband has already left the west exit, so only It could be a divorce.

I am the eldest daughter of the Changsun family, but because of this incident, no one from Chang'an City's dignitaries came to ask for marriage. Changsun Wuji was not willing to arrange a small bureaucrat for his daughter. This matter is like this. Delay.

"Auntie went to the East Palace to look for me?"

The main reason why the eldest son Pingting doesn't go to the East Palace is because she and Li Chengqian don't talk much. Although the two are cousins ​​who grew up together, their ways of doing things are completely different, so their personal relationship is not good.

"Of course I came to find you. I heard that you didn't do very well with the salt thing. I was afraid that you would be depressed, so I was going to find an opportunity to take you to see Miss Cheng."

After the eldest grandson Pingting heard about the affairs of the major families, she was worried that Li Xiang would not be able to pass this hurdle. After all, the young man was young and energetic, and the arrangement had been arranged for such a long time. If he was put in trouble by the major families, If so, Li Xiang's mood would inevitably be hurt, so he wanted to take this opportunity to take Li Xiang for a walk outside the city, and then have a chance encounter with Cheng Luan.
