During the Tang Dynasty, Shuzhong was the most prosperous in the world, so the tea market in Chengdu has always been one of the most prosperous places for the tea trade in Sichuan. Although it is not yet the season for chūn tea to be on the market, and the tea market is very crowded, those tea shops that specialize in selling tea, as well as the teahouses that are rarely seen in the Central Plains, are still doing thriving business around the Xicheng Tea Market, with merchants who come to replenish their stocks at the end of the year, and those who use teahouses that are far more elegant and quiet than restaurants to discuss things and even business. All in all, as soon as you enter this street, you can smell the aroma of tea.

The zhōngyāng family in the tea market does not seem to have a big façade, and there are some new signboards in the Yunshan tea shop, and only the young man is guarding it alone. It seems that the courtyard is cold, but just at the right time, the shopkeeper has just respectfully ushered a group of guests in. In the upper room of the inner courtyard, the shopkeeper stood in front of the young man in a bearded suit on the throne with some trepidation, but the title in his mouth was not Lang Jun.

"I knew that the lady was coming, but I didn't expect it to be the end of the year......"

"The end of the year is not the time to harvest tea, but this time I came, not only to harvest tea, but also for Chengdu County Party has just won the tea produced in the 800 acres of tea plantations in Zhangjia Village. This breath is all received, and it may not be able to be eaten by other families, but for Yunshan Tea Shop, it is just a good time to save effort. When it comes to March and April next year, you will go to the county party as soon as possible and eat all this batch. ”

Since negotiating the tea trade with the three departments of the Xi clan that year, Du Shiyi entrusted Wang Rong to run this line, and this white shopkeeper has only been sent to Chengdu for three years, but he is the uncle of her personal maid Bai Jiang. Even so, after being abducted, she first borrowed Princess Yuzhen's people after arriving in Chengdu, and waited until she secretly observed for a while before she showed up to see the other party. Seeing that the white shopkeeper was slightly surprised at first, she quickly came to her senses, and she smiled happily: "Others have to sell a lot of goods slowly, but we are different, and high quality and quantity are the most convenient." ”

"Yes, yes, after the opening of the chūn, I will go to the county office to talk about this matter earlier."

Tea is now becoming popular in Liangjing, and Wang Rong has to give some additional instructions. After all the explanations were over, she asked: "Do you know all the personnel of the Li family of the wealthy family in Chengdu?" ”

The white shopkeeper can sit in the position of taking charge of the tea business in Shuzhong, not only because he is Bai Jiang's uncle, but also because he relies on his jīng Ming wrist and active brain, so he can become a rising star in the tea market. Hearing the master ask this, he immediately said, "The lady asked this, but she asked the right person." The Li family loves tea, and they are especially in love with high-quality tea. Because of the tea cooking method taught by the lady, I often go in and out of the Li family

"Uncle, let's talk about the point" Wang Rong didn't speak, but Bai Jiang couldn't listen to his uncle's chatter, and immediately reminded angrily, "What the lady wants to listen to is the situation of the Li family." ”

"Yes, yes" The white shopkeeper hurriedly nodded with a smile, sorted out his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "Although Li Tianluo is a son-in-law, he is only the second son, and his deceased grandfather once married a room, but the mother's family of the Yuan match was defeated, so the eldest son Li Tianyi was managed to seize the inheritance by the deceased stepfamily, and finally only divided into three small shops and hundreds of acres of land, and the power of the Li family fell to Li Tianluo. Many old people in the Li clan have complained about this, but the one who died was too favoritistic, Li Tianluo was stubborn, and the means were vicious, so others dared to be angry and dare not speak. ”

"It's actually upside down, but no one has dared to speak up for many years, which shows that this Li Tianluo is powerful." Wang Rong frowned thoughtfully, and then said in a deep voice, "Li Tianluo's eldest brother is still there now?" ”

"It's still there, to say that Li Tianyi is also resolute, his wife and family background are not mediocre, but he has to take care of the shop and the land in an orderly manner by himself. Now that the two eldest sons have married wives, the younger son wanted to work hard to get the title of the field, but Li Tianluo covered the sky with one hand, and he couldn't even get the county tribute, let alone go further. ”

"That's fine, you quietly go and meet Li Tianyi and tell him that now is the best opportunity to win the family business

As long as he dares to gamble, you immediately and quietly contact those who have grievances in the Li family and make trouble first...... This is the Li family's housework, since Fan Yuanjun has disdained to see Li Tianluo, such as the Luo family and the Wu family, and Cui Tang will not care about this idle matter, it should not be difficult to pull Li Tianluo off the horse. ”

Hearing that Wang Rong had such an idea, the white shopkeeper was taken aback. Although he thought of how beautiful it was to be able to control a local wealthy family like the Li family, but thinking of the risks involved, he couldn't help but remind: "Lady, although those people in the Li family are already quite dissatisfied with the head of the Li Tianluo family, but if they really turn against it, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"Li Tianluo is only for the small profit of the 800 acres of tea plantation, he is willing to risk the world's disapproval, fake the title deed to seize people's land, and as a result, he is ruined, doesn't the Li family have any ideas? Li Tianluo has covered the sky with one hand for so many years, and even bullied the eldest brother, and the rest of the clan did not dare to move, but it was just because of Li Tianluo's methods, and it was not profitable. Now, I can promise them even greater profits."

Wang Rong put down the white porcelain teacup in his hand and said word by word: "Not only that, but there are also other great benefits related to people's livelihood." You ask them, although Shuzhong is full of silkworms and silk brocade, but if I have the same warmth as silk cotton, but its price is only one-tenth of a better substitute, so that they can ⊥ no longer stick to Shuzhong, are they interested? ”

The white shopkeeper felt his heart pounding when he boarded, and immediately hurriedly responded: "Yes, I can't take care of it, what if they want to see the principal?" In the past few years, I have never mentioned the word "master", and if I say it rashly now, I am afraid they will not believe it. What's more, now that Fan Yuanjun is sitting in the Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, even if the protagonist is the richest man in Chang'an, others may not be ......"

"There can't be the slightest word to reveal who is behind, let alone half a word of grandpa. You know, they are the ones who benefit, believe it or not, they have given such great benefits, and if they still hesitate, then let them go. Therefore, although you prevaricate, if they don't let go, then put on a jiashi that is scattered in two, and it must be them who are so anxious. Then there is, if they really want to do something to Li Tianluo, they will inevitably ask for money, the money I have accumulated with you before, don't be stingy, use it where it should be used, but remember to ask them to take out real things as collateral. Besides, the handle involving Li Tianluo and even the rest of the Li family must be firmly held in your hands."

In addition to these, Wang Rong carefully instructed the white shopkeeper a lot of other things, and only after he had written them all down did she go out and get on the horse, and when she returned to the low-key Yuzhen Temple in Changhuafang in Dongcheng, she took off the jacket she was wrapped in after entering the house, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When he was in the court, Du Shiyi made enemies everywhere, and he was also full of relatives and friends, but now that he is alone, if he wants to really do something, not just whitewash his political achievements, and there is a boss like Fan Chengming with unknown meaning on the side of the couch, he needs to win enough support, so this is Weishenme He wants to let Chibi talk and let her try to pry the Li family

When Li Tianyi first came out of his family, the three shops he was assigned were located in a remote place in Dongcheng that no one cared about, and the grange was also a mountainous area that was originally abandoned. However, knowing that his biological father was partial and his stepmother was vicious, he moved out without saying a word.

Because the silk brocade in Shu is the most famous, he turned three shops into a silk loom workshop, and personally brought the silk machine to the countryside, and quickly opened up the market with a cheap and fair price. Then he released the words when the main family was secretly suppressing him, saying that he could give up the family succession, but if anyone dared to cut off his way of life, he would go directly to the door of the Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to draw a knife and commit suicide.

As a result, when Li Tianluo's land struggle became a joke, and there was even news that the government wanted to investigate him for the crime of forging the land deed, the rest of the Li family was deeply ashamed, but Li Tianyi sneered again and again after hearing the news. After offering incense in front of his mother's tablet in the ancestral hall, he gritted his teeth and kowtowed heavily after thinking that after his father's death, his mother's bones were almost moved out of the ancestral grave by his stepmother.

"A-Niang, my son has worked hard for so many years, and he didn't see a ray of light until today. San Lang has studied hard for 20 years, but he can't even pass the county exam. Now Du Mingfu is the Chengdu Order, if San Lang falls off the list again, I will definitely go out to make a scene, I think that since Du Mingfu dares to slap that dog in the face, I will never look at him again to cover the sky with one hand......"

"Grandpa, grandpa" Hearing the shouting outside, Li Tianyi looked back, but saw that it was because of the county test that had been brushed down for many years, and his youngest son Li Jihu, who had become more and more taciturn, he couldn't help but be quite surprised. But in an instant, Li Jihu stepped aside, revealing the gray-haired old man behind him, and his eyes immediately lit up, "Fifth Uncle"

"I haven't been to this place for many years......" The old man smiled at Li Tianyi, his eyes suddenly revealing an undisguised edge, "Little Si, back then, your grandfather was blind, and he just handed over the family business to Xiao Liu, the stubborn and self-serving loser, and now if you have a good opportunity today, are you willing to do your best to take the position of the head of the family?" ”

Seeing that Li Tianyi's expression changed drastically, and the green tendons on his forehead were exposed one by one, the old man couldn't help but sigh lightly: "I know that this is extremely risky, but I didn't come to persuade you just because Li Tianluo lost face to the inside this time and lost foreign aid." Just because I once said a fair word for you, he suppressed my son and grandson, and the rest of them too. But now, some people have thrown out the intention of showing goodwill, but if they can pull Xiaoliu down, they will give the benefits of Shu tea, and they can also make the Li family really get out of Shuzhong, the real master of the Li family, who else is you? ”
