Hearing that it was the Taiyuan Wang family who was against him, Cheng Huailiang and their faces were stunned, and the arrogance on their faces slowly faded, replaced by a rare solemnity.

"It's the Taiyuan Wang clan again?" Li Su was also a little surprised and said to himself, the last time the king and himself 'met', he never showed up again, but he heard Wang Zihao say that the other party had brought him a message, telling Wang Zihao to wait patiently, and he would start what he promised as soon as he returned to Taiyuan.

"What's wrong with the Taiyuan Wang family, there are so many of us, are we still afraid of them?" Seeing that everyone was silent, the young and vigorous Li Yong stood up first and said. His words were supported by some people, who were used to running rampant in Chang'an City, and it was impossible to swallow this breath no matter what.

"What you said is insignificantChapter 84 The millennium family and the Tang upstart Qiaoqiao, the other party is one of the five surnames and seven hopes in the world, and the place where we are looking for the coal mine is already within the sphere of influence of the Taiyuan Wang family, so they are not only the head snake, but also the extremely powerful head snake, but the forces of our families are mainly around Chang'an, even if they want to find trouble with them, but they are beyond the reach of the whip!" Cheng Huailiang seems to be rude, but he is actually very shrewd inside, and he has a very clear understanding of this matter.

"In fact, if it is only one Wang family, we don't have to worry too much, but the five surnames and Qiwang have frequent intermarriages, and the relationship is very close, and the other ones are not very far from the coal mine, if we have a dispute with the Wang family over the coal mine, and then they will intervene, it will be really bad." Qin Huaiyu also analyzed very calmly.

Although the Taiyuan Wang family is one of the five surnames and seven wangs, it has been going downhill over the years. The power of the family is also shrinking day by day, and now it can only be ranked at the bottom of Qiwang, and the strength of these people together may not be able to overpower each other. It's just that when the time comes, the Wang clan asks for help from the other seven hopes. Even if only one family intervened, the combined power of the two families would be enough for them to retreat.

"Cut~, how can it be so troublesome, why don't I Chapter 84 The millennium family and the Tang upstarts organize the private soldiers and slaves in the mansion and pull them to the coal mine to grab the land, I think who dares to do it right for Lao Tzu?" Li Yong, this kid is simple-minded, and the only thing he thinks of when he encounters a problem is to solve it by force. The serious consequences of doing so were not considered at all. So as soon as his words came out, they immediately attracted the eyes of countless people, but a few simple-minded guys agreed very much and were about to speak up in support. However, seeing Cheng Huailiang's reaction, they immediately closed their mouths with interest, and then despised Li Yong with everyone.

Seeing the unanimous eyes of everyone, Li Yong also knew that he was thinking too simply, although his face was thick enough. But he still blushed a little and sat down in a daze. Li Su saw that his good brother was ugly, and he sighed in his heart, Li Yong, this kid is starting to grow. But his brain has not grown, and his head is full of violent thoughts. It is estimated that when he grows up, only the promising profession of robber is the most suitable for him.

"Rokuro, you proposed this matter of the coal mine. Now that you're in trouble, don't just listen! Someone saw Li Su sitting there without saying a word, and couldn't help but shout. Now that the Wang family is grabbing coal mines with them, and they are on other people's territory, they can't grab them at all, and without coal mines, won't their coal industry association become a joke?

Although Li Su was a little surprised by the Wang family's robbery, he was not in a hurry at all, and when he heard someone mention him, he stood up with a smile on his face and shouted to the crowd: "Brothers, everyone be quiet, be quiet!" Seeing Li Su stand up, everyone also admired his intelligence, so they all quieted down, wanting to hear what solution Li Su had?

Seeing everyone's reaction, Li Su nodded with satisfaction, but he first said another thing: "Brothers, do you know that a big incident happened in cement in the end?" ”

Hearing Li Su's question, everyone was a little baffled, although they are also shareholders of the cement plant, but now everyone is discussing the coal mine, I don't understand why Li Su suddenly mentioned cement?

"Hehe, depending on everyone's reaction, you may not know it yet, but as the president of the Cement Association, I already knew about this major event the day before yesterday." Li Su glanced at the people around him and smiled.

"Rokuro, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't play any more dumb riddles!" Li Yong shouted impatiently.

"Ninth brother, don't worry, you'll know what I'm going to say after I finish talking about it." Li Su smiled, "In fact, this matter is also related to everyone's interests, because just the day before yesterday, someone reported that there was a business in Luoyang without permission, burning cement without permission, and now the cement association has reported the situation to the Supervision Institute, and the Supervision Institute has also sent someone to investigate, if the report is true, we will be charged with patent infringement, not only to confiscate the workshop and all illegal gains, but also to fine a large amount of money to show punishment, and confiscated illegal gains, half of which will be rewarded to the whistleblower." ”

Hearing Li Su's story, everyone was stunned, they have been busy with the coal mine recently, and they really don't know about this matter. Many people who reacted quickly immediately understood what Li Su meant when he said this, looking at Li Su's somewhat sinister smile, they all shivered, this method is really poisonous, if it is operated properly, it can not only maximize the interests of these people, but also ruthlessly pit the Wang family.

"Rokuro, you have a good idea, but have you thought about it? Coal is different from cement, this thing is dug out of the ground, if it is forcibly in the name of patents, only allow us to mine, this is a bit too overbearing, and the Tang Dynasty law allows private mining, and there is not much restriction, so even if we want to come together, I am afraid it will be difficult to get Your Majesty to agree to this matter. Yan Bei suddenly frowned and said.

Although Yanbei was shrewd, he obviously misunderstood what he meant, so Li Su could only explain again: "Brother Yan, you misunderstood, I didn't want us to monopolize the mining of coal, if they are willing to mine, I still wish for it, but after the mining~ Hehe......" Li Su smiled very sinisterly.

"Oh~, I see, Rokuro, you don't want to use those two things, do you?" When Li Jingheng heard Li Su's words, he immediately came to his senses. He patted his head and stood up excitedly and shouted. Hearing Li Jingheng's reminder, Yan Bei also seemed to understand something, and his expression suddenly realized.

"Hehe, Brother Jing Heng is really smart!" Li Su smiled. Although Li Jingheng did not say it explicitly, he pointed out the most critical point, so that Li Yu immediately understood that he already knew his intentions.

"Hey, Rokuro, what are you talking about, why can't we understand?" Qin Huaiyu said with some dissatisfaction, like Yanbei, he initially thought that Li Su was going to use the patent to monopolize the mining of coal. However, after hearing Li Su's denial, he immediately became confused, and he was not like Yanbei, and he basically didn't know much about business. So I couldn't understand what Li Jingheng and Li Su were talking about.

Li Su saw that most of the people had a confused expression, so he stopped selling Guan Zi, and told the method he thought of, Cheng Huailiang The more they listened, the brighter their eyes became, and when they heard the last. Everyone is happy, and it is so insidious to laugh and scold Li Su.

At the same time, in the meeting hall of the Taiyuan Wang's long house, a group of people were also gathered to discuss things. In the center of the main seat sat a white-haired old man who was not angry and arrogant, and there were more than a dozen middle-aged people sitting beside him. The rest are young people in their twenties and thirties. However, unlike Li Su's harmonious atmosphere, there is a lot of noise in the hall now. And the subject of the quarrel was also about coal mines.

"Uncle, the family industry has always been taken care of by me, how can you order the people below to rob the carboniferous mine with King Liang without my consent?" A young man in a fancy costume standing at the bottom said in a deep voice, although he tried his best to restrain himself, but the anger on his face could not be concealed. If Li Su was here, he would definitely recognize that this young man was the king of Taiyuan he had seen last time.

The long-bearded middle-aged man sitting next to the head of the family heard Wang Guo's words, and immediately snorted angrily and coldly: "Hmph~, what do you mean by giving an order without authorization, this is a decision made by several of our elders together, do we still have to get the consent of you, the junior?" When the middle-aged people sitting beside him heard Wang Jing's words, they also glared at him angrily.

"Naturally, the decisions made by a few uncles don't have to go through their nephews, but have you ever thought about it, what will be the consequences of your doing this?" Wang Guo said with a sad face, although he is very beautiful in front of outsiders, but in the family, he is just a junior who is not valued, otherwise he would not let him give up the imperial examination, and instead deal with those businessmen every day, and take care of business and wealth for the family.

"Hmph, what can be the consequences, it's just a group of boys who don't know the importance of it, they dare to go to our Taiyuan Wang's territory to spread wild, I didn't know the use of this thing before, but now those cement factories are clamoring to buy coal every day, how can such a good opportunity be cheap for others?" A young man about thirty years old in front of Wang Guo snorted coldly, this person is Wang Kuang's cousin, his name is Wang Xian, and he is also the eldest son of the middle-aged man next to the main throne.

"Brother Hall, the profits of Shi Tan are indeed huge, but have you thought about it, just because of this little profit, almost all the upstarts in Chang'an City have been offended, is it worth it?" Wang Guo looked at his unlearned cousin, angry and hateful, he had already received reliable news, the first to grab the carboniferous mine with Li Su and them was the cousin in front of him, and then his father in order to cover up for his son, this persuaded several elders in the clan to order a large-scale purchase of carboniferous mines, although this matter will offend many people, but it can also bring huge profits to the family, so there are not many people who object.

"King, this matter is not as simple as you think!" At this moment, the old man who had been sitting in the main seat with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the king and said. This old man is the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang family, named Wang Tong, who has also been an official for many years in the former Sui Dynasty, but since the Tang Dynasty won the world, this Wang Tong has never been out of office, and has been handling family affairs as the patriarch, and his prestige in the clan is extremely high.

"Grandson is blunt!" Hearing Wang Tong speak, Wang was also startled, and immediately bowed down and saluted. Wang Tong has also been old in recent years, and he has rarely managed the affairs of the clan, although he usually sits on the main seat, but he is like a decoration, and rarely expresses his opinions, and is generally managed by the uncles of the kings under him, but he did not expect that today he suddenly spoke. In fact, not only the king, but also the other people around him were also very surprised.

"Hmm!" I saw Wang Tong suddenly stand up from his chair, glanced at the people in the hall, and finally looked at Wang Guo and said, "Since you know that those people who bought mines are all upstarts in Chang'an City, don't you still understand the intentions of your uncles?" We, the wealthy families known as the king's surname Qiwang, are the objects of His Majesty's efforts to suppress today, and those new family nobles formed by the founding heroes and the Li royal family are the weapons he uses to suppress us, if they are allowed to enter the territory around Taiyuan, and then use those mines as a stronghold, and slowly infiltrate into Taiyuan City, although our Wang family has been operating here for a hundred years, but compared with the nouveau riche who has the support of the imperial power behind it, it is still at a disadvantage, so, no matter what, we must also prevent the nouveau riche from reaching around Taiyuan City! ”

After all, Wang Tong was old, and he was extremely hard when he said the last few words, so he had to stop and take a breath, and then he continued: "In addition, since Wang Tong is in charge of the business operations of the clan, you must be very familiar with the financial situation of the clan, with the current operation of His Majesty in the Western Regions, the commerce of Taiyuan has no longer been the grand occasion of the past, and the income of our Wang family has also decreased by several percent. ”

Hearing the words of the old patriarch, Wang Kuang was also shocked in his heart, he only thought about building a good relationship with Li Su and them, so as to facilitate further cooperation in the future, because he saw a very huge wealth potential from Li Su, if he could cooperate with Li Su, it would definitely bring a lot of benefits to their Wang family, and he did this to alleviate the growing financial crisis in the clan. But what he didn't expect was that the competition for coal mines around Taiyuan actually involved the struggle between the old family represented by Qiwang and the new family of Datang, and even related to Taizong Li Shimin's suppression of these family valves.

Although Wang Guo is smart, he has been busy with the family's business affairs all these years, so he has become accustomed to looking at things only from the business side, and he didn't expect that there would be such a deep meaning. In this way, from the time Li Su and the others decided to mine coal near Taiyuan, they had already gone on the opposite side with their Wang family, and the competition for the mine seemed to be caused by the greed of the Wang Xi's cousin, but in fact, from the perspective of the general trend, this is an inevitability.

But what made Wang Guo a little worried was that with his understanding of His Royal Highness the King of Liang, he would never let others snatch things from his mouth, although their Wang family could have the upper hand around Taiyuan and grab the carboniferous ore as much as possible, but they didn't have to think about it to know that after the other party suffered a loss, they would definitely not swallow their anger, but they didn't know what method they would use to retaliate?!!!
