In the evening of the same day, the wind was slightly cool, and the afterglow of the sunset burned the sky red, and the earth was red.

Cheng Chumo returned to Chang'an City and walked out of the kind of pace that the six relatives did not recognize. Also coming back was Cheng Chuxue, and the girl's pretty face was also murderous.

The sisters and brothers did not go home, but went directly to Chang'an West City, the so-called East Market to buy horses, West City to buy saddles, if Chang'an East City belongs to the place where dignitaries and nobles stay, then Chang'an West City is the place where the common people are needed.

There are many kinds of things sold here, involving clothing, food, housing and transportation.

Salt, iron, tea bricks, firewood, women's sewing and mending utensils, and carts for merchants to walk through the village and alleys, as long as they are used for people's livelihood, there are shops in Chang'an West City.

The siblings had a clear purpose and went straight to a certain store.

This is also a super large store, occupying the most prosperous place in Chang'an West City, standing at the door and looking at it, you can't see the head on the left, you can't see the head on the right, the scale of this store is too big, there are dozens of shops.

Wang's Warehouse!

It is also a warehouse, Wang's Warehouse is larger than Cui's Warehouse, and the façade is also open and bright, and each shop is equipped with at least ten small houses.

But, very arrogant!

No matter what guest comes to the door, the little guy will look at it first, if the guest is dressed more ordinary, the little guy will be lazy and unwilling to take care of it, and the mouth will speak horizontally, and he will generally point to his own plaque and say: "Look at it clearly first, this is Wang's store." ”

The implication is self-explanatory, we won't accept small traders and hawkers.

Doing business is so arrogant, and even a little under-drawn, but there are a lot of customers, and every customer has to lose a smile.

The reason is very simple, Wang's main business is selling salt, and it is not retail, it is generally a bulk sale.

In a word, this is a monopoly in the nature of trusts.

If you look at the guests of his house, you can know that there are people from the Tang Dynasty from all over the world, as well as people from the Eastern and Western Regions of Liao who speak vulgar vernacular, and occasionally you can see some Turkic men with hooked noses, holding a piece of sheepskin in their hands and constantly squeezing into the store.

The sheepskin was written in Chinese, usually hundreds of cattle or hundreds of sheep, and even horses were written on some sheepskins, and these cattle, sheep and horses were all used for salt.

In all dynasties, salt and iron were in short supply for ethnic minorities, but although salt and iron were claimed to be state-controlled, they were actually controlled by families.

The so-called official salt, that's a joke......

Because the court has changed from time to time, but the family has always had a long history, the court has changed frequently, and many technologies cannot compare with the family, so the price of official salt is very high, and even the internal affairs office of Empress Changsun is reluctant to purchase it.

People are more willing to buy the Saga salt.

Although it is also expensive, it is cheaper than official salt.

The Taiyuan Wang's monopoly is the salt industry, so there is no shortage of buyers in his store.

It is precisely because there is no shortage of buyers that the business is relatively strong, the shopkeeper is full of arrogance, and the small servants are also nostrils to the sky.

But this evening, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuxue came.

The sister and brother rushed directly into the door of the store, and Cheng Chumo kicked over a certain guy who wanted to ask questions, and then yelled, shouting like thunder: "Who is the shopkeeper, come and talk." ”

Chang'an Xiaobawang, which one doesn't know? Not long ago, I smashed Cui's warehouse, and now it is the time when the limelight is flourishing.

That group of little guys bullied the soft and feared the hard, and no one stepped forward to accuse him of beating people.

This has to be done by the treasurer!

……

The Taiyuan Wang clan is known as the first of the five major gate valves, and naturally he will not be really afraid of Cheng Chumo, and soon saw the shopkeeper slowly walking out, staring at Cheng Chumo with a smile and saying, "It turned out to be the son of the Duke of Lu's mansion." ”

Cheng Chumo stared at him and said, "Yes, it's me." You are the shopkeeper of Wang's warehouse, and you have the final say in the business affairs of the Wang family? ”

The shopkeeper said twice, and said a little proudly: "The old man Wang Xun, who was born in the Wang family, if it is a trivial matter, he can barely make a decision." ”

"What kind of thing is a small thing?"

"For example, tens of thousands of catties of salt, thousands of pieces of money, the merchants of the Turks outside the Saiwai, and the transactions in the eastern and western regions of Liao, these can barely be regarded as trivial matters, and the old man can barely make a decision."

The arrogance of these words, although one bite is reluctant, but the things involved are huge, and no matter which one is not idle.

Cheng Chu sighed silently.

Wang Xun looked at Cheng Chumo with a smile, then looked at Cheng Chuxue next to him, and suddenly said: "The two of you came to my Wang's store, could it be that there is a big deal to discuss?" The old man heard that you are going to marinate salted fish, do you want to purchase a batch of refined salt? Hehehe, it is worthy of the Duke of Lu's mansion, and the family foundation seems to be very thick. ”

This sounds like a compliment at first glance, but secretly it hides ridicule, which is nothing more than saying that Cheng Chumo wants to take refined salt to pickle salted fish, which belongs to the meaning of making a foolish mistake and not making money.

Although Cheng Chumo has a straightforward temperament, he is not really a fool, this old thing is so obvious that Cheng Chumo can understand it even if he is stupid,

However, Cheng Chumo deliberately pretended not to understand.

Xiao Bawang just glared at his eyes, and his nostrils turned to the sky: "Who said I want to buy salt, Xiao Ye doesn't have so much spare money." ”

This was meant to lead to the following words, but Wang Xun had already misunderstood, and saw that the old thing's face sank, and he snorted coldly: "You can smash and rob Cui's warehouse, it's because your in-laws don't want to pursue it, but if you dare to provoke my Taiyuan Wang family, the old man doesn't care whether you are a child or not." Cheng family, don't make trouble for your father......"

"I'll fuck you!"

Cheng Chumo is temper of a donkey, and when he heard the words, he immediately exploded, this thing had forgotten Li Yun's advice to him, and scolded: "What kind of dog are you, dare to say that I don't dare to provoke, believe it or not, the master will give you a scoop on your head now, and then take the family to smash your store." ”

Wang Xun's old man's face was even colder, and the words he said were like a cold wind blowing from the ground, and he said coldly: "The old man said that you would die." ”

"You you!"

Cheng Chumo rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists to hit someone.

At this time, Cheng Chuxue suddenly stretched out her hand to stop her, the girl first glared at Cheng Chumo, then turned her head to look at Wang Xun opposite, and said in an arrogant tone: "My Cheng family is not afraid of things, but they don't cause trouble either, smashing the store This kind of means, the Cheng family will not do the second time, Mr. Wang, this girl respects you for your old age, forgive you for the ridicule just now, but I don't want there to be a next time, otherwise even if the Cheng family fights to the last person, then it will have to fight with your Wang family." ”

Wang Xun snorted lightly, and he didn't want to talk to a girl with his own identity.

Cheng Chuxue said again: "This time, I really want to buy something, but it's not refined salt as you guess, what we want to buy is salt mine." ”

"Salt mines?"

The old thing was stunned for a moment, and then his face became even more gloomy, and he said: "It seems that the Cheng family really wants to start a war with the Wang family, and you dare to make up your mind in the salt mine." ”

Cheng Chuxue snorted, and said with disdain: "If you really want to fight, the Cheng family will continue, but don't blame this girl for not explaining in advance, what we want to buy is a stone salt mine." ”

At this time, Cheng Chumo also reacted, and hurriedly said on the side: "Yes, buy a stone salt mine, not a well salt mine, nor a lake salt mine, old guy, do you hear clearly, what we want to buy is a stone salt mine......"

Salt mines?

The poisonous kind?

Wang Xun frowned, but the coldness on his face retreated unconsciously.
