In the glazed pavilion that has just opened today, the guests who came to congratulate have been gone. In the whole glazed pavilion, it was empty and deserted.

The shopkeeper asked with a sad face, "Childe, what should we do now?" ”

"If all these glassware are smashed in our hands, it will be a big loss!"

Now, in the three stores of Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, and Wei Chigong, the price has been as low as ten yuan.

And they all pay a full ten dollars.

If they also follow those three stores to reduce the price to ten cents, it will really be a loss.

Their family will also become a joke.

Well, it's a joke now.

At least for a long time, they will be ridiculed.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Zilong couldn't help but say: "These glazed wares can't all be smashed in our hands, and the losses must be controlled to a minimum." ”

"Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, and Wei Chigong, aren't the shops of these three only in Chang'an City? And the other towns, they don't know about this news yet, right? ”

In this era, once out of the city, the speed of transmission of messages is very low.

Because for the vast majority of people, it is very possible that they will not leave the place where they live in this life.

Even for those merchants, because of the road, it takes a long time to get on the road.

In Chang'an City, the news of the low prices of these three glass shops is afraid that it will take a long time to be able to pass it on.

As long as they're fast enough, they can even get the glassware out before the message gets out.

When the shopkeeper heard Wang Zilong's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

couldn't help but say, "Childe, yes! If we ship this batch of glassware quickly, we will be able to sell this batch of glassware before the price of glassware plummets! ”

"Well, our purchase price is ten yuan, if our price is thirty or forty yuan, it must still be very good."

"As long as we operate it properly, we can not only stop losses, but even make a lot of money!"

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Wang Zilong slowly shook his head and said, "No, the price of these glazed ware is set at ten yuan. ”

The shopkeeper asked suspiciously: "Childe, but in this case, even if we sell them all, we will lose money?" ”

Buy for 10 dollars, and then sell for 10 dollars.

The freight, storage, and labor costs consumed in this will cost a lot of money.

Wang Zilong said: "Now, we only want to sell and reduce the loss to a minimum. ”

"Because it won't be long before the news leaks out."

"If we sell it at a high price, it will be a great blow to the credibility of our family."

Actually, even if they sell it for ten times.

It's also a blow to their credibility.

But at least it could be better.

And Wang Zilong can't take care of so much now.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again.

kept praising in his mouth: "Childe is wise, Childe is wise." We don't know what to do with such a tricky problem! With a little thought, Childe can come up with the perfect solution! Childe is really incomparable, wise and wise! ”

In the past, Wang Zilong was very fond of these flattering words.

And now, for some reason, I always feel that these flattery words are harsh.

Therefore, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Okay, you can contact the hands now, and transport all the glazed ware to the major cities." ”

"Then let them sell it as best they can at a ten-percent price!"

"Yes, Childe! Childe, please rest assured, this matter, the villain will definitely handle it properly. ”

……

At this time, Songtsen Gampo of Tibet sent an envoy to Chang'an.

Submit the credentials and take the initiative to reconcile with Datang.

This incident made Li Shimin very happy.

The threat of Tubo to the Tang Dynasty is still very big.

Especially now that the Tang Dynasty has just been established, there are many frontier issues such as Turkic, Goguryeo, Western Regions, Tuyuhun and Tubo, as well as Nanzhao.

Now it is very good that the Turks can take the initiative to show goodwill.

Li Shimin ordered Honglu Temple to entertain Turkic envoys.

He personally summoned the Turkic envoys and gave them a banquet.

The attitude of the Tibetan envoy was very humble.

I am full of praise for the food and etiquette of Datang.

However, at the banquet, the Turkic envoy asked a question.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the ministers, we Turks, have encountered a pair of upper couplets, and no one has been able to match the lower couplets so far."

"Datang is rich in resources and talents, I wonder if it can solve our doubts?"

What the?

Couplet?

The earliest couplet recorded in history is from the Three Kingdoms period.

During the Tang Dynasty, couplets were not very popular.

But there are also many masters of couplets.

Basically, all Wenchen are well versed in this.

And this question of the Tibetan envoy seems to be asking for advice, but in fact it is difficult.

If no one in the Tang Dynasty can match this couplet, I am afraid that it will be ridiculed by the small Turkic countries.

In the relationship, there will also be a feeling of inferiority.

Therefore, after hearing the words of the Tibetan envoy, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile and said: "I don't know what you Tubo absolutely can't match?" You might as well say it and let our literati in the Tang Dynasty help you solve this problem. ”

The Tibetan envoy said proudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the ministers, listen well. The upper link is: the top three Han Zhao Wei. ”

This Shanglian, at first glance, made many Wenchen of the Tang Dynasty stunned.

Because it feels like this uplink is too simple.

It's so simple that even if it's an enlightened child, I'm afraid it can be right?

But after a little thought, they couldn't help but gasp.

It turns out that this uplink is deceptively simple.

But he has a huge trap in his way.

His Shanglian lists the three great powers of the Warring States period, Han, Zhao, and Wei.

Then, you must also have a number in the next link, and you must also list the corresponding transactions.

But then comes the problem.

The number three appears in the upper link, and the lower link must be against one other number.

Can be one, two, four...... Ten, thousand, hundred.

However, if you are in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, this number of words will be one more word than Shanglian.

If the four seasons are spring, summer and autumn, then the four seasons will be less winter, and this will not work.

This trap, so that this uplink, it is impossible to really match the downlink.

Therefore, after a little thought, the faces of the Tang Dynasty's cadres couldn't help but change color.

"This uplink, there is no way to do it at all!".

"Yes, this Shanglian is a trap!"

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"
