"Patriarch, something is wrong......

Just after the patriarch of the Li clan ordered the disbandment of the long-term workers, a subordinate hurriedly ran in outside.

"What's going on?"

Li Lishan frowned slightly, and a bad premonition arose!

Running to find yourself in such a hurry, something must have happened!

"The news from Jiangnan said that the large amount of grain we purchased at a high price before was all taken away from us by the household department before, and now it has just been sold back!"

The subordinate stood firm, wiped the hot sweat on his forehead with his cuffs, and said breathlessly.

"What does that mean?"

Li Lishan didn't react for a while, and now he was confused, blinking his eyes and asking.

"Most of the grain in the hands of the household department was purchased from us at seven cents per catty, but they did not transport these grains back to Chang'an, but sat on the ground and sold them back to us at a price of sixteen cents per catty.

Seeing that the patriarch hadn't turned a corner for a while, the subordinate immediately explained carefully.

"What?"

Li Lishan stood up suddenly and roared angrily!

He originally thought that this plan would not only snatch the grain business back, but also trap Li Eryi.

But I never expected that Li Er didn't succeed, but was generalized!

"That's more than four million grains! They didn't even have to be lucky, they sold more than 9 million guan when they changed hands, and they made a full profit of 5 million guan, alas, ......! ”

The subordinate said with a sad face.

"Let's go, let's go to Lu's house, what kind of bad idea did Shopkeeper Lu give me?"

Li Lishan carried his hands behind his back, and after walking around the house a few times, he angrily ordered his subordinates.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the subordinate hurriedly trotted to bring the carriage and carried the patriarch to the Lu family.

Although the power of the seven families is all over the Tang Dynasty, their mansions are all in Chang'an City.

Chang'an City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, many dignitaries are here, and the news circulates quickly, and if there is any trouble, you will know it as soon as possible!

The carriage sped down the street, and soon arrived at Lu's house.

When Li Lishan rushed to the Lu family to take a look, the patriarchs of several other major families gathered in the Lu family.

It seems that the news has been learned.

"Everyone, don't worry, listen to Lu slowly."

"Fuck off! What else do you explain, we sold the grain for seven cents, and then bought it back at a high price, this is all your bad idea, what else do you have to say? ”

"What are you still self-righteous about selling high and low, trying to drag down the household, now what? The household department sold us all the grain at a high price. ”

"Now that the grain truck of the household department has returned, what can be loaded back is the silver of our few white flowers!"

"If it weren't for the bad ideas of our families, would we have been able to give more than 5 million yuan to the household department for nothing?"

"Now that we have suffered huge losses, you should take full responsibility and compensate us for our losses......!"

Before Li Lishan could enter the inner house, he heard loud shouting inside, and the noise was out of control!

The patriarchs of the Wang family, the Cui family and several other major families were pointing at the nose of the shopkeeper Lu and scolding!

But only the patriarch of the Zheng clan didn't say a word, hanging his head on the side, his brows furrowed!

"Everyone, don't be impatient, listen to me, doing business is like fighting a war with a fellow army, how can a momentary victory or defeat determine the winner or loser? The reason why it failed this time was because Zhao Yin made a hindrance from it, but it doesn't matter, as long as everyone listens to me, I promise that it won't be long before the money will be returned with interest! ”

Shopkeeper Lu saw that the patriarch of the Lu clan had sharp eyes, and he looked like he was going to Ling Chi, so he quickly persuaded the patriarchs of several major families!

"We gave Li Shimin more than 5 million yuan for nothing, so can the old pick-up be spit out so easily?"

Li Lishan approached the inner house angrily and shouted loudly!

"Now we've bought up all the fur in the country! When winter arrives and Li Shimin can't collect the fur, we can naturally sell it to him at a high price, and at that time, the price is not what we say? How much money he earns us, we will let him double it back! ”

Shopkeeper Lu paused slightly, glanced at everyone, and continued: "This year's grain is in the hands of several of our families, and the household department has no grain to sell now. Although we have spent a high price on the purchase of grain, we can also double it and sell it again, and the profit is still very large! ”

"That's right! This time we were indeed cheated by the household department, but we can let the people double it back, the price of food is so high, the people will definitely not be able to afford it, and when the time comes, there will be a famine, the people will scold Li Shimin, it has nothing to do with us, and the final loss is still him Li Shimin? ”

The patriarch of the Zheng clan thought about it for a long time, and finally stood up and said good things for the shopkeeper Lu.

Although it was Zhao Yin who pitted them this time, they still have chips in their hands, and it is not good to say who will kill the deer in the end!

"That's right! Now we don't know who will lose and who won, let's see which of us can have the last laugh! ”

Shopkeeper Lu arched his hand to the patriarchs, "Everyone, as long as we let the price of grain rise, and the fur has no market, there will definitely be a time when Li Shimin begs us, if we start infighting now, then our money will really not come back!" ”

"Now each of our families has not lost 700,000 taels, but invested more than 700,000 taels, you patriarchs don't have to worry, sooner or later, one day, we will get it back with interest!"

The patriarch of the Lu clan opened his mouth to refute.

Although he also hates Shopkeeper Lu, there is no other way to protect him at this time!

What's more, they really don't have no way out, they still have a lot of chips in their hands!

"Okay, then I'll believe you once, if you lose this time, you should know what awaits you?"

After hearing these words, the patriarchs who were originally emotional gradually became a little more angry!

......

Inside the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, last night the convoy of the household department escorting the silver has arrived, Weichen weighed overnight, a total of more than 9.45 million taels, minus the 4 million taels we bought grain, this time we went to the south of the Yangtze River, net more than 5.45 million taels!"

Dai Xuan handed the account book to the little eunuch beside the emperor, "This is the detailed statistics of this trip to Jiangnan, please take a look at it." ”

"Good! Dai Qing's family has worked hard......! ”

After Li Er took it, he put it directly on the dragon case, and without even looking at it, he said excitedly: "Zhao Yin, this kid did a beautiful job, and in only half a month, he was able to earn me more than five million taels, hahaha......!" ”

Originally, he was still worried about the emptiness of the treasury, but now it's okay, with these more than 5 million yuan, this trouble has really been solved.

Coupled with the two burdens of the military weapons supervisor and the general prisoner thrown to Zhao Yin's kid, the silver deposit in the treasury now, even if there is no tax revenue from the people, is enough to spend!
