Chapter 413 Find a middleman

Li Shimin has already calculated that Li Xiang may contact the King of Wu in private, so Li Shimin has set up a dragnet around him and will never give Li Xiang any chance. The reason why he has not stopped him now is because Li Xiang has not been found yet. , if someone discovers it, Li Shimin's next move will be revealed.

"Go say hello to Mr. Cui and tell him I'll invite him to tea."

After much hesitation, Li Xiang still did not go directly, but thought of finding an intermediary. If there was an intermediary that both parties could listen to, it would probably be Mr. Cui.

It turns out that Cui Sanye is the top executive of the Cui family. After he cooperated with Li Xiang, although the Cui family's status has declined, compared with other big families, the Cui family can be said to have retained its core business and can Taking all of Li Xiang's grain also made the Cui family a lot of profits.

At the beginning, there was a lot of opposition within the Cui family. Some people said that Mr. Cui and Li Xiang were colluding with each other and that they had no regard for the interests of the entire Cui family. This voice did dominate. However, as time went by, they People also discovered that Mr. Cui’s choice was correct...

If you don't cooperate with Li Xiang, then the Cui family will stand on the opposite side of Li Xiang. Once you stand on the opposite side of Li Xiang, go and see the Wang family in Taiyuan and the Li family in Longxi. They are also big companies that have been galloping for hundreds of years. Family, can you still make some noise now? They have almost disappeared in various places, which means they still have a certain strength in their local area.

If you want the Cui family to become like this, then you can also follow their old path. Anyway, Li Xiang has a lot of energy, but can you still get up after failure? Several major families still have illusions and want to make a comeback, but Li Shimin and Li Xiang's various combinations of punches have left the major families unable to fight back. Even if you can find a chance, you are already gone. No strength left to get up.

Li Xiang is a rare monster that can only be seen in a century. To be an enemy of such a person is to make fun of the future of the family, especially a big family like the Cui family.

Third Master Cui is at his own silk and satin shop. Originally, Third Master Cui didn't do much checking on these businesses, but he had nothing to do recently, so he wandered around in various shops. He estimated that it would be almost time for Li Xiang to come back, even if Li Xiang If Xiang didn't look for him, he would have to find a way to get closer.

Cui Sanye is different from others. He has a forward-looking vision. Now the Cui family's industry is tied up with Li Xiang, especially in terms of food. If he doesn't get close to him quickly, what if Li Xiang has something else? partners, that would free up the Cui family. It would not be easy for such a huge ship to turn around.

Bamin Tea House.

This is another business of Li Xiang. It was started when he was in Tubo. At present, there are more than 30 businesses across the country. The tea leaves fried by Li Xiang are supplied here, but the price is very expensive. For example, the house The pot of Longjing in there costs ten guan of money.

There are only six single rooms in the whole tea house, and the others are all in the lobby. If you want to go to a single room, there is a minimum fee. For ordinary people, you can only look up from the outside, but for Cui Sanye and Li Xiang , a pot of tea worth ten dollars is nothing more than that.

"Sit, sit, sit, what's our relationship? Are we still using these false courtesy?"

When Li Xiang came in, Cui Sanye and Cui Yuncheng were already waiting. Seeing that the two of them were about to stand up and salute, Li Xiang immediately stopped them. This is a mutual etiquette in itself. If these two people sit down If he doesn't move, then Li Xiang will definitely look for trouble, but he has already taken the initiative to salute, so you should stop him in the middle and don't let him finish the salute. This will save face for both parties.

If Li Xiang had just been reborn, the Cui family did have this privilege, and they could even be on an equal footing with the royal family. Li Xiang was also very angry at that time, but after more than a year, the vigor of all the major families has been wiped out. After it's smoothed out, if it's still the same as before, then you're just waiting to be taken care of by Li Xiang.

"His Highness has returned triumphantly from Tubo. My uncle and nephew were supposed to come to congratulate him, but His Highness should be preparing for Goguryeo these days, so we didn't bother him. We only saw His Highness today. It's really our fault. "

Cui Sanye said with a smile. Cui Yuncheng quickly poured a cup of tea for Li Xiang, and then brought it to Li Xiang very respectfully. The two were enemies before, but after getting along with each other for a period of time, Cui Yuncheng felt not only There is no resentment, but I feel that if we don't fight, we won't get to know each other. If we weren't the first to make trouble with Li Xiang, how could we be the first to cooperate with Li Xiang? Can the current Cui family still hold on to this position?

"I should have met my old friends earlier. This time on the Tubo Plateau, I will remember the Cui family's help to me. I will treat it as a favor that I owe you. If anything happens in the future, you can come anytime." Come to me, this favor is still valid.”

After Cui Sanye, uncle and nephew heard this, they were secretly happy in their hearts. Ordinary people saying that they owe you a favor may be of little use. At most, they just help you with a job or something, but Li Xiang is different. , this is the third person in the Tang Dynasty. The most important thing is that he still controls the monster of capital. When he says he owes you a favor, you will benefit from it endlessly in your life.

"We are all a family. There is no need to be so polite. The Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo is about to begin. If His Highness has anything to ask us to report on, just say it."

After dealing with each other for a long time, Mr. Cui also knows what kind of character Li Xiang is. He will never come to you for tea. Even if it is a relationship, he will not do it at this time. The two parties have cooperated more often. , it’s better to go straight to the topic, and it’s not too late to talk about these gossips after finishing talking.

Li Xiang nodded after hearing this. Originally, he was straightforward, but he didn't expect Cui Sanye to be more direct than him now. Could it be that the efficiency mentioned before has been learned by others? Instead, I forgot about it.

"Since Third Master has said so, I won't hide it anymore. This time during the expedition to Goguryeo, Third Master should know that I feel a little uncomfortable, right?"

There was a trace of sadness on Li Xiang's face. Cui Sanye and Cui Yuncheng looked at each other. They immediately understood what was going on. It was just that Li Shimin gave Li Xiang eye drops. It seemed that it was time for us to take action.
