The emperor and empress personally cooperated in acting, and this scene soon opened in Chang'an City.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is stirring up the storm.

The word profit grabs people's hearts.

Sima Qian, a historian in the Han Dynasty, once described the people who pursued interests like this: The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit......

In fact, this is a more elegant statement.

The folk saying is more vulgar.

People die for money, birds die for food, and the reason why the vicious dog likes to grab is only because it wants to eat a full meal.

Although the folk saying is vulgar, this statement is extremely appropriate,

As long as there is such a thing as interest, there will be people who swim forward like sharks that smell blood, no matter how far away they are, they will always smell fish.

Especially when Li Shimin acquiesced to Princess Gaomi spreading the news!

……

In just three days, Chang'an was full of waves.

In the evening of this day, the sky was just dark, and a certain high-ranking lord in Chang'an City, more than a dozen important people of the family had solemn faces.

These people seem to be leisurely sipping tea, but the teacup is held and put back, and so on and so on, it seems that they are preoccupied.

What are they clearly waiting for......

Finally, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

But when he saw a middle-aged scribe hurriedly enter the door, he opened his mouth and laughed loudly at everyone in the room, saying, "Everything has been investigated, and you can be sure that the news is correct." ”

Everyone subconsciously got up, with a look of anticipation on their faces, and asked in unison, "Is it really certain?" ”

"Yes, you can be sure!"

The middle-aged scribe nodded solemnly and laughed again: "In the past three days, I have visited dozens of families in a row, and I have searched for sources through side knocks, and finally learned that the disappearance was spread from the mansion of the Ministry of Works. ”

Everyone's eyes flashed slightly, and someone frowned and said, "Duan Lun? The fat man? Don't look like this person is full of fat idiots, but he is really a powerful character, he is oily and slippery, and is known as the smiling tiger. If the news comes from his house first, then we should be careful. ”

The others all nodded, their faces solemn.

Only the middle-aged scribe who had just entered the door laughed, waved his hand and said: "You don't need to be like this, we don't have to be cautious this time, although Duan Lun's guy is known as the smiling tiger, but his wife is a high-density princess in the eyes of money, and it was after the princess who loved money returned from the palace that the news that Gu Tianya wanted to start a textile industry appeared in Chang'an City......"

The man paused as he spoke, and then said, "Moreover, one of our family's concubines in the palace also delivered the news, saying that Li Shimin had smashed several cups in a row in the past few days?" The emperor is furious? scolded Princess Gaomi for being brainless, and Queen Eldest Sun was also angry, and it is said that she even opened her mouth to accuse Princess Gaomi a few words......"

"Everyone should know? That eldest grandson empress has a virtuous personality? Even she couldn't help but open her mouth to accuse? It can be seen how big the mistake made by Princess Gaomi. ”

"It is said that the industry that Gu Tianya wants to get this time is too big, so he can't support it alone? But that guy came from a poor background, and he always didn't like the big man? So no matter how difficult it is, he is not willing to involve the gate valve......"

His original plan was to let the Li royal family help him, and for this reason, he would take out a part of the profits in return, but Princess Gaomi was too greedy and wanted to occupy the largest part of this part of the interests, and it was precisely because this princess wanted to occupy more, so she would be in a hurry to sell her property to make money as soon as she left the palace. But who in Chang'an City would be a fool? Everyone was surprised when they saw a princess who was in a hurry to sell the industry? Under all kinds of side knocks, the princess who only had money in her eyes said that she had leaked her mouth......"

"Ever since she leaked the news? The Li royal family hasn't made her feel better these days? It is said that even Li Yuan's old guy can't sit still? Specially sent someone from the Taiji Hall to Princess Gaomi's house? scolded her for being a loser. ”

……

Everyone listened fascinated and marveled at the twist.

Only then did an old man sneer? said: "If the old man is Li Yuan, the old man will also scold Princess Gaomi." With such a brainless girl on the stall, the Li family is a fool among the people. Fortunately, there is such a brainless princess, so we have the opportunity to get a little interested. ”

Everyone laughed and said, "Who says it isn't, we really want to thank that princess." Originally, this matter was Gu Tianya's share of the great benefits to the Li family, and all cooperation should be carried out quietly. By the time we find out, maybe the Li royal family has already made a lot of money. It's a pity that there was a high-density princess, and the news was directly known to everyone......"

The old man slowly stroked his beard just now, and said with a smile: "If the news is not leaked, the Li royal family can monopolize it as much as it wants, but now that the news has made the city boiling, the Li royal family will not be able to pretend to be stupid anymore." Because, they are royalty. ”

Another old man next to him nodded, and said with the same smile: "The royal family can make money, but it can't be monopolized, especially this kind of interest that has been put on the surface, if you can't level it with a bowl of water, it will definitely not work." ”

The middle-aged scribe who was in charge of finding out the news laughed again and said: "That's why Li Shimin is so angry, so Empress Eldest Sun can't help but accuse, just because this matter was said by the two of them for a while, but these two didn't expect that Princess Gaomi would not be able to keep the secret." ”

Everyone laughed together, and said sarcastically: "Actually, you can't blame that princess, after all, there is only one Li Xiuning in the entire Li family, except for Li Xiuning, who is heroic, and the other women of the Li family are basically a tendon." ”

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone in the room was laughing heartily.

After a long time, I saw that the middle-aged scribe suppressed his laughter, suddenly his face turned solemn, and he said solemnly: "The main problem now is no longer to determine whether the news is true or false, but to quickly mobilize all families to unite to find the Li family for benefits." It is said that Li Shimin was soft-hearted for a while, and promised Princess Gaomi that she could buy 20,000 acres of wasteland in the land of clouds, so let's make a request according to this number of acres, even if Li Shimin cuts his waist and cuts it, he can get 10,000 mu. ”

After a pause, his tone became excited, and he said: "As long as we can get a share of 10,000 acres of wasteland, we can migrate the people to the past to open up the wasteland, although Gu Tianya that guy hates us, but that guy is an extremely trustworthy gentleman, when the time comes, we will mobilize the people to open up the wasteland, and hundreds of thousands of people will wait to eat and drink, not afraid that he will not comply, he has to obediently comply." ”

Everyone in the room nodded again and again, and in a blink of an eye, they began to discuss the details of the matter.

But the family has a long heritage, and there are all kinds of human spirits in the clan, and one of them suddenly reminded in a cold voice, and said with caution: "There is an old saying since ancient times, looking at the real pit is a big pit, I think we should not be too eager for the time being, it is best to observe carefully......"

After pouring cold water on everyone, this man followed with a deep groan: "Even if we are ten percent sure, we have to think about whether it is a ploy or not." Don't blame me for speaking with a bad mouth, have you forgotten the Xuanwumen scene? The Li royal family is not a good thing, what they are best at is intrigue and trickery. This time, Gu Tianya's industry seems to be very profitable, but who can guarantee that this is not a conspiracy of that guy to cooperate with the Li royal family? ”

The sound of eager discussion in the room fell silent suddenly.

After a long time, I saw the middle-aged scribe say with a cautious face: "The fourth brother's worry is not impossible. However, I still don't think there's a need to be too careful. While it's a good habit to be cautious, the flip side of caution is the loss of opportunity. If you keep hesitating and waiting, it may not be a good thing......"

The middle-aged scribe paused, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Regarding the matter of planting cotton, I am seventy or eighty percent sure that it is true. As for the reason, it's actually quite simple. Just now, the fourth brother was worried that this was another conspiracy of the Li royal family to harm the family, but we all know that the premise of the Li family's entrapment is to support the new family. As long as we can grasp this trend, we can discern whether it is a conspiracy or not. ”

This is a bit of a twist.

But the people in the house were full of human spirits.

Soon someone came to his senses and blurted out: "You mean to say, we only need to stare at the actions of the Tiance Mansion, if even those families are involved, then this matter is true, if those families are not moved at all, then this matter is another ploy of the Li family, right?" ”

The middle-aged scribe nodded slowly and smiled, "That's right." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly someone spoke: "As far as I know, the Tiance Mansion is more enthusiastic about this matter than us, and in the past three days, Chang'an has been full of people who sell industries. Why do they sell their property? It's nothing more than to scrape together money to make more profits, and what business can make more profits right now? It seems that only Princess Gaomi leaked the secret of the cotton industry......"

Smart people don't need to go into details, just point to the end.

The faces of everyone present gradually became firm, obviously dispelling the last bit of worry in their hearts.

Everyone firmly believes that Gu Tianya's cotton industry is definitely a great benefit.

……

The middle-aged clerk suddenly spoke again, and said with deep meaning: "I have another news here, and after saying it, everyone must be more confident." Just when I stepped into the house, we happened to fly back a bird in our house, it is the cold season, if you want to quickly transmit information, you can only rely on the bird to pass the book, and the bird that has just flown back is precisely from the land of clouds. ”

All the people's faces were solemn, and they hurriedly asked, "What does the letter say?" How are our children over there? Have you completed Gu Tianya's mission? Have you earned any new redemption points? ”

The middle-aged scribe slowly exhaled and said, "The items you asked are all very important, but they are not the focus of our attention for the time being, what we should really focus on is one thing specifically mentioned in the bird biography...... Clan elders, Gu Tianya's six disciples are coming to Chang'an. ”

"Gu Tianya's disciple is coming to Chang'an?"

Someone's eyes flashed obviously, and he subconsciously said: "In this season, it is not an exaggeration to say that dripping water turns into ice, what are they doing in Chang'an?" You must know that the land of clouds is at least two thousand miles away from Chang'an. Isn't it hard to travel for such a long distance? ”

The middle-aged scribe glanced at the man and explained, "It is claimed that he is going home to save his relatives, but the real reason is that he brought back cotton samples. After all, Gu Tianya only has six descendant disciples, and he must give special care to the families of these six disciples, and he asked the disciples to come back with cotton samples, just to let the families of several disciples take a look at whether cotton is good or not. At the same time, it also means that this is a share of the industry for the families of the six disciples......"

He paused as he spoke, and suddenly sighed with emotion, and said: "Alas, it's really enviable, these families only have children worshipping under Gu Tianya's door, so that any interests can be collected without fighting or grabbing, but we, the old families, can only watch and do it in a hurry." ”

Everyone in the room glanced at each other, and they all saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, and they all sighed together: "This kind of thing can't be envied, if you want to blame it, you can only blame the children in our clan for not being good enough, otherwise once someone enters Gu Tianya's eyes, won't our family also enjoy special care?" ”

At this time, someone suddenly spoke, and it was the fourth brother who was in charge of pouring cold water just now.

I only heard this person's words with doubts, slowly raised a certain question, and said in a deep voice: "No, Gu Tianya seems to have only five disciples, he did have six disciples before, but the woman named Tan Xiao was made a concubine of the Gu family by Li Xiuning, so since then, Gu Tianya has only five disciples......"

The man paused slightly, and then said, "But just now the third brother said that the legend of our family's birds mentions the six disciples. That's why, I'm not at ease if I don't find out. ”

Obviously, this person is the person in the family who is responsible for pouring cold water, and he has to think in the worst direction when he encounters any clues, and the reason why the family can be inherited for a long time has to be said that there is indeed a certain reason, such as setting up such a person in the clan to pour cold water, in fact, it is a means to always alert the family.

But the middle-aged scribe smiled, and said in a relaxed tone: "Fourth brother, I can give you a solution to this concern." Our family's bird biography said that Gu Tianya has accepted a new disciple, and it is precisely because of the new disciple that the Gu family has become one of the six great disciples, and this new disciple, tsk tsk......

He suddenly admired in his mouth, and said with a happy face: "You clan elders definitely can't believe that Gu Tianya's newly accepted disciple is actually from our family. ”

Uh-huh?

Everyone present looked incredulous.

After a long time, I saw that the 'fourth brother''s eyes flashed, and he subconsciously said: "Could it be another conspiracy." ”

But an old man next to him slowly spoke, and said in a deep voice: "The old man thinks that this is a little change in Gu Tianya. Although he has always disliked the family, he has obviously figured out that the family cannot be destroyed, and since it cannot be eliminated, then it is necessary to choose the same, and he accepted a disciple from a family, which is probably a hint to us...... That's a good sign. ”

Everyone in the room nodded subconsciously.

The fourth brother frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slowly, but he still looked cautious and asked in a deep voice, "Which family is that new disciple from?" ”

The middle-aged scribe exhaled lightly and said with some emotion: "It is said that it is from Jingyang County, and it is a small family that has just entered the stream. The surname is Hu, the whole family has only about 300 people, the land is not more than 10,000 acres, and the grain is not more than ten warehouses, but it is such a small family, and it has won the first place in the world......

The fourth brother frowned and pondered again, and then asked a question again, "When will the six disciples of the Gu family arrive in Chang'an?" ”

The middle-aged scribe was slightly stunned, and then said, "The legend of the bird is not mentioned above, but it says that the six great disciples have already set off three days ago. According to the distance between the land of clouds and Chang'an, coupled with the factors of the current cold season, it is estimated that it will take ten days to hurry. ”

"In other words, it will be there in seven days at the earliest."

……

The fourth brother stopped talking, but just looked at an old man in the room.

And the old man was the patriarch of the family, and at this time, he finally made a final conclusion, and said in a deep voice: "Then, our clan will bear with it for the time being, let's cancel the plan to unite with other families to ask for a share of the Li clan's royal family, and wait for Gu Tianya's disciples to go home after seven days before making a conclusion." At that time, you can not only observe the actions of the six disciple families, but also see what the cotton sample is, whether it can make money, whether it has any benefits, or whether seeing is the most appropriate. ”

Everyone in the room nodded in unison, and said with a solemn face: "That's exactly how it should be." ”

……

It was precisely at this time that the Tang Palace was in the palace.

Li Shimin's face was strange, he handed a silk book to Empress Changsun in his hand, and said with a smile: "Look, that guy is moving again." He was worried that our cooperation was not thoughtful enough to arouse the greed of all families and clans, so he specially sent out a few disciples, which was iron-hearted to make everyone unbearable. ”

"What the hell are you talking about?" Empress Changsun looked confused and took the silk book with her hand.

Then with a hurried sweep, the queen's face quickly became wonderful.

"Six disciples, go home and save your relatives?"

"When you return, you bring cotton products and want to do your filial piety to the elders in the family?"

"It's freezing right now? A padded jacket and quilt to keep you warm? But because it was so scarce, I only brought back 100 pieces......"

"Let the two of us not be greedy? Don't you go to the families of the six disciples to ask for cotton products? ”

"Brother-in-law Gu, what are you doing with the two of us? Are we so greedy for money in his eyes? ”

……

Li Shimin smiled coldly and said: "On the contrary, he is asking us for help, his so-called refusal to let us go to the covetous, in fact, this should be heard in reverse, his real meaning is very clear, it is precisely to let our husband and wife go to 'covetous'......"
