Chapter Seventy-Three: The Helpful Sikong
Let's talk about the other side.
After the eldest grandson Wuji and the others walked out of the Manna Palace, they were all in a very uneasy mood.
Everyone felt that the scene that had just happened was full of unusualness.
One by one, they frowned and pondered, but they didn't have a clue.
At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji slapped his thigh and subconsciously said, "I understand." ”
Well?
The crowd gathered around.
"Lord Eldest Sun, what do you understand?"
"Did you guess what Your Majesty was going to do?"
"Quick, talk to us in detail."
Everyone couldn't wait to look at Eldest Sun Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji showed a mysterious smile and said, "Everyone, this is not the place to talk, let's change places." ”
Wei Zheng hurriedly said: "Go to Menxia Province, there is no one there today." ”
"Good!"
Everyone surrounded the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji is in the middle, and his spirit is vivid.
After a short time, everyone came to Menxia Province and found a secluded place.
Wang Jue couldn't wait and said, "Lord Eldest Sun, tell us quickly, what did you find?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji sat on the chair, stroked his beard, and said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you think that Your Majesty is abnormal today, it is said that the inner library sells refined salt, and some people buy refined salt, and the inner library will make money, but Your Majesty just asked me not to buy refined salt...... This is a miracle that has never been done before...... But I understood the meaning. ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a paper bag.
When the paper bag was opened, there were particles that several people present had never seen.
Is this refined salt?
Many have glowing eyes.
It's like it fell from the sky.
The refined salt sold in Chang'an City is simply the difference between a toad and a white swan.
Wei Zheng said: "Such refined salt, once it is discovered, there will definitely be many people who want to buy it, why doesn't Your Majesty let me wait to buy it?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "This is the strange place, I just figured it out, I guess, this refined salt is dug out of a certain salt well, and there is not much, yes, Your Majesty will let the inner library quietly sell, you don't know, according to Your Majesty's temperament, the salt shop should be called a refined salt store or something, but this time it is not, the one that sells refined salt is just a small corner of the shop, and there are two words on the door plaque: salt shop, no different from other salt shops......
After a pause, he continued: "This is Your Majesty's cleverness, he knows that once this refined salt is put on sale, it will definitely be sold out soon, at that time, many people want to buy refined salt but can't buy it, which is a great blow to the reputation of the inner library, so he thought of such a good way to sell it quietly...... He also told me not to buy it, so as not to attract attention. ”
Everyone nodded in understanding.
I see!
No wonder Your Majesty is so abnormal today.
Dai Xuan asked: "According to what Lord Changsun said, there is not much refined salt, if we don't buy it, others will buy it." ”
"That's right." The eldest grandson Wuji is very sure.
Everyone pondered for a moment, and their hearts all had their own thoughts.
Wang Jue suddenly got up and walked out: "Farewell!" ”
Bang la blah.
The ministers suddenly went away.
In the house, only the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian were left.
Gao Shilian glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked, "Wuji, what you said, is it true?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said with great certainty: "Uncle, I dare not say anything else, but I dare to say that this matter is not far from ten, I have many years of friendship with His Majesty, and if I say a big disrespectful word, I am very clear about his temperament, and I will definitely not speculate on this matter......
Seeing this, Gao Shilian nodded: "Okay, I'll believe you again." ”
With that, he also left.
The eldest grandson Wuji felt very satisfied when he saw that so many ministers were obedient to his words.
As one of the only three princes in the Tang Dynasty, the eldest grandson Wuji feels that it is his duty to help his colleagues and show everyone a clear path.
He has always been generous and willing to help others.
……
East City.
Upstairs in the salt shop.
Cheng Chumo was drinking.
"Your Majesty, this is trying to harm Chen Chu...... Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do. Cheng Chumo said depressedly.
He originally wanted to help Chen Chu.
However, it was His Majesty Li Er who shot this time, even if he had great skills, he was helpless.
"Alas......"
Cheng Chu sighed heavily.
He drank the liquor that Chen Chu gave him.
Drink and drink, drink too much.
Then he fell on the table with a pop. 、
I can't sleep.
Knock knock.
At that moment, a figure rushed up the stairs.
It was the shopkeeper of the salt shop.
The shopkeeper appeared in front of Cheng Chumo and shouted breathlessly: "General, great joy, there are more and more people buying refined salt......
Cheng Chumo didn't react.
The shopkeeper scratched his head and said, "Oh, the general must have seen that the refined salt business is too good, and he is so happy that he drinks wine, and it is good to drink some wine, and on the day of the big day, he should drink more." ”
So saying, he happily went downstairs to receive the people who bought salt.
……
Cheng Chumo opened his eyes.
It was already midnight.
He stood up, rubbed his numb arm, and walked down the stairs.
I saw that in the salt shop, the lights were bright, and the shopkeeper and his men were busy.
No one even cared about him appearing.
At this moment, a bookkeeper ran to the shopkeeper of the salt shop and said, "Shopkeeper, the calculation has been completed, and the first batch of refined salt has been sold for 5,000 yuan." ”
What the?
Cheng Chumo suddenly sobered up for the most part, he rushed up, grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper, and asked, "What happened?" ”
The shopkeeper said happily: "General, you were just drunk, I didn't wake you up, don't you know, the refined salt in the warehouse is almost sold out." ”
Cheng Chumo only felt five thunderbolts.
He was dumbfounded.
I just drank a few glasses of wine, right?
How so?
He was dumbfounded.
"Bad ......"
In the middle of the night, he turned around and snatched the door out.
Then he turned over and rode in the direction of the palace.
Cheng Chumo came to the Ganlu Hall first, but was told by the guards guarding the door that His Majesty Li Er was not there.
So he hurried to the Yanjia Palace.
was about to enter, but was stopped by Gao Chen, a close attendant guarding the gate of Yanjia Palace.
Cheng Chumo panted and said, "Father-in-law Gao, let me in, I have something important to report to Your Majesty." ”
Gao Chen said unhurriedly: "General Cheng, Your Majesty and the Empress have already rested, Your Majesty is working hard today, you can't disturb him, besides, this is Yanjia Palace, it is the Queen's residence, how can you enter ......"
Cheng Chu was in a hurry: "However, I really have something urgent." ”
Gao Chen said with a smile: "The rules of the court, but if there is any major or urgent matter, it will be reported by the prime minister or a few Shangshu lords, why don't the generals go to discuss with Lord Fang and Lord Wei first, how about it?" ”
Negotiate?
How can you tell anyone about this!
Cheng Chumo sighed, found a step and sat down, planning to wait for Li Er to come out before reporting.
Anyway, the refined salt is sold, and it doesn't help.
