Fifty-eighth palm: The plan of the eldest grandson Wuji
In the mansion of the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Chong walked quickly towards the eldest grandson Wuji's study.
Push the door open, then turn and close the door.
"Dad, the prince has set off." The eldest grandson Chong's face was slightly worried.
"Daddy knows." The eldest grandson Wuji replied indifferently.
"Dad, then you told your son to go to the merchants in Chang'an City and say that you want to raise the price of medicinal materials, isn't it in vain? What if someone finds out" Eldest Sun Chong said this, the anxiety on his face could no longer help but be revealed, but as soon as he was halfway through the words, he was interrupted by Eldest Sun Wuji.
"How many times have my father taught you, and you are not in danger, not to mention that it is not in danger now, what are you anxious about." The eldest grandson Wuji looked at his son with some hatred: "For the father, I ask you, that Dongshan Hou, but you have purchased enough medicinal materials?" ”
The eldest grandson shook his head: "That's not true, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince set off, he didn't see a large number of medicinal materials accompanying him. ”
"That's it." The eldest grandson Wuji said: "As for your worries that it will be found out that we leaked the news behind our backs, it doesn't matter, my father has already sent someone to properly settle the person who delivered the news, and he will not betray us." ”
"Father, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not leave Chang'an with a large number of medicinal materials, as far as the child knows, this time he went to Liaodong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took away most of the imperial doctors in the palace, accompanied by Sun Simiao, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally went to Liaodong, bringing a lot of money, food and materials, and it is likely that medicinal materials will be purchased along the way." The eldest grandson Chong said that the matter has come to this, and the effect that his father wants to achieve is not as smooth as expected.
"Chong'er, you underestimated the speed of those businessmen to deliver the news, I'm afraid that you leaked the news early yesterday morning, those medicinal material merchants, they began to act, businessmen tend to profit, ten times the profit dares to disobey the law, a hundred times the profit dares to fight with their lives, this rescue of Liaodong, only Chang'an received nearly 300,000 yuan, such a sum of money, many businessmen, has been moved, the materials transported to Liaodong are nothing more than money, food, cloth and medicinal materials, clothing, food, housing and transportation are indispensable, where did the imperial court go to allocate so many materials for a while, What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Liaodong this time, not only for the snow disaster in Liaodong. The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.
"In other words, the most important thing now is time, the merchant and the prince's team, whoever can buy enough time first will win." Changsun Chong said.
Eldest Sun Wuji nodded: "Exactly, but this matter still needs to be prepared, Chong'er, allocate a thousand pieces from our mansion to purchase medicinal materials that can treat frostbite at a low price in Chang'an City." ”
Hearing this, Changsun Chong was a little puzzled: "Father, now that the price of medicinal materials in Chang'an City has just risen, how can you buy them at a low price, not to mention, why are you buying so many medicinal materials?" ”
"Chong'er, our ultimate goal is to help the prince, not really to make a stumbling block for the prince, now that the prince's team has left Chang'an, the medicinal material merchants in Chang'an are also waiting, now as long as we make a move in the house, those businessmen will think in their hearts that the price of medicinal materials is so high, it is useless, and it is not a wise move to press the goods in their hands." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Chong suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Father is wise." ”
"Remember, after the acquisition, the government sent people to Luoyang immediately, and tried to intercept the prince on the road and hand over the medicinal materials to him before the prince arrived in Luoyang." The eldest grandson Wuji commanded.
"In this way, because of the temporary relief of the medicinal herbs, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be very grateful to his father," Changsun Chong said thoughtfully.
Li Chengqian, who was on the way to Luoyang, didn't know that he was buying medicinal materials all over the street, but he encountered a sharp rise in the price of medicinal materials, and everything behind this was manipulated by his own uncle.
Luoyang, Yunlai Building.
Many wealthy merchants in Luoyang City gathered together today, but after waiting for a while, they still didn't see anyone holding this banquet.
On the same day, everyone received a post from Li Tai, the king of Wei, saying that Li Tai, the king of Wei, held a banquet in Chengyun, Luoyang, and invited many wealthy merchants in Luoyang City.
When the businessmen saw that it was the post of the King of Wei, they were thinking about it in their hearts, this His Royal Highness the King of Wei is good, what are these businessmen doing to feast them?
Moreover, shouldn't the King of Wei stay in Chang'an?
Li Tai is one of the most favored princes, but you can get a glimpse of it if you haven't been a vassal over the years, although these merchants in Luoyang City are rich and wealthy, but for the powerful Li Tai, they can't afford to offend, so they went to Yunlailou with a nervous heart.
"Brother Zhang, look at His Royal Highness the King of Wei, why did you summon me to wait?" A businessman pulled the sleeve of the man surnamed Zhang who was sitting next to him and asked with some trepidation.
The merchant surnamed Zhang shook his head: "I didn't know either, but the old man guessed that since all the rich merchants here were from Luoyang City, it is estimated that this time, there is no good banquet, and it must be related to money." ”
When everyone heard what the merchant surnamed Zhang said, they all nodded in agreement, and a businessman surnamed Li said: "Since it is related to money, it is not a big deal, I just hope that the appetite of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, don't"
"Brother Li said carefully," the businessman sitting next to Li Yuanwai hurriedly stopped Li Yuanwai's words.
His Royal Highness the King of Wei set up the banquet in Yunlai Tower, and he has not appeared for so long, and the surroundings must be full of his eyeliner, maybe he is just to see how he and others treat him, in case there are inappropriate words in this, it will be unlucky.
These people really overestimated Li Tai, Li Tai left Chang'an in a hurry two days ago, and the guards only brought five or six people, all the way around day and night to Luoyang City in three days, this speed, compared to 800 miles of urgency, to Luoyang until now, there is no time to contact Luoyang's officials, where is there extra manpower to monitor these people.
After a while, Li Taicai took Du Chuke to appear in Yunlai Tower, went up to the third floor, and saw that everyone had already arrived, Li Tai arched his hand and smiled: "Let you wait for a long time, this king has just arrived in Luoyang City, and he has not settled down when he posts to you, and he has also hurriedly sorted out his appearance, so he came to see you, everyone, Duoduo Haihan." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." When everyone saw Li Tai coming, they got up one after another, and when they heard him speak like this, they didn't even dare to say it.
Li Tai entered the table and sat in the first seat, and Du Chuke, as Li Tai's doorman, sat at the bottom of Li Tai.
At the beginning of the banquet, Li Tai did not directly state the purpose of his trip, but only talked about the environment of Luoyang with the merchants. Humanities, specialties.
The wine was too three, the food was tasteless, and everyone gradually let go, although they still remembered the purpose of Li Tai's trip, but in their words, they also lost the restraint at the beginning. (To be continued.) )
