Although Ming Yi has not made up his mind, the balance in his heart has tilted. Gong Junhao is not a trustworthy gentleman, but she is willing to help him with this and let the Tianyi Gang be his first gang in the world. Gong Junhao said it well, three-legged. The Shentu brothers are too evil and too shrewd, and there must be a Tianyi gang to contend with him. In this way, it will be much easier for the Shangguan gang to be left and right.

What's more, if the imperial court wants to rectify the gangs in the rivers and lakes, it is always good to have a Tianyi gang in the front.

Mingyi smiled: "Okay, like Shu Jin, the private salt south of the Yangtze River, our two gangs cooperate." Moreover, I will run for you and find a way to give the Tianyi Gang a place in Chang'an. ”

Gong Junhao was overjoyed, but still maintained a trace of caution: "If it can be like this, it would be great." But the imperial court has already issued an order to prohibit the Tianyi Gang from entering Chang'an, and we are afraid that we will get into trouble if we go back rashly. ”

Ming Yi had a melancholy look on his face: "I also know that this matter is difficult, and I need to come up with a perfect solution." But the Gong gang leader didn't know that the Shentu gang was too domineering in Chang'an now. I also blame me, I was lazy about the personal affairs of my children and handed over the affairs of the gang to the ignorant children, which made the Rongyifang that Feng Huan worked hard to run become an underground gambling house of the Shentu gang. Now they have made a fortune, and if something happens, we will be buried with the officials. In order to feed the ambitions of the Shentu brothers, I have given up half of the profits of the private salt business. Unexpectedly, they actually started a green house business in Chang'an, which affected our bank's open courtyard, which is unbearable. ”

What Ming Yi said is not made up. The gambling house, the Qinglou, is the main business of the Shentu gang. It's just that the business dealings of the workshop will not let Gong Junhao know.

Gong Junhao nodded frequently, Rong Yi Fang and Xinglu Courtyard were originally the two places he was most familiar with in Chang'an, Rong Yi Fang was an industry created by Feng Huan as Xia Niangzi, and Yin's mother in Xinglu Courtyard is now very close to Ming Yi. If these two businesses were involved by the Shentu brothers, it would be strange that Mingyi was not angry.

Gong Junhao understood a little: "Do you want our Tianyi gang to go to Chang'an, so that the Shentu gang can be taboo?" ”

Ming Yi said earnestly: "Yes, only the Tianyi Gang is the opponent in their eyes." ”

Gong Junhao's eyes flashed, and he smiled faintly: "But we really can't go back to Chang'an with great fanfare." Distortion can, and the situation doesn't allow it nowadays. ”

Gong Junhao knew that there was no need to hide too much in front of Mingyi, and the implication was that if a group of people were seriously injured today, it would be impossible to mobilize the people. This time, Chang'an's spending, Tianyi can't help it.

Ming Yi smiled sweetly, and there was a plea in his eyes: "I have a way to let the Tianyi gang return to Chang'an without knowing it, and not break the rules of the imperial court." ”

Gong Junhao saw that she was suddenly humble, and he was extremely useful: "Ming Niangzi, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"The Tianyi Gang can't go back with great fanfare, but they can go to Chang'an to do business in the name of a tea shop. Although the Gong gang leader first sent a few capable subordinates to go, and gradually made the tea shop bigger, he could continue to send people to the city. Ming Yi replied.

Tianyi gang of two major businesses, silk, tea. This tea business should not be underestimated. This is why the Tianyi Gang is very persistent in entering Chang'an. Hu merchants gathered in the western market, and they were the main channel for selling tea to the Western Regions. This tea is not uncommon in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and when it comes to Hu Shang, in a few months, there is also a hundredfold profit. Hu Shang didn't know how to make tea, and it was impossible for him to go deep into the Tang Dynasty, so he just brought the products of various countries in the Western Regions every year and sold them for tea cakes and silk that were easy to transport. Hu merchants had to buy from Chang'an tea merchants, and the tea merchants made ten times as much as the merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

The Tianyi Gang wanted to enter Chang'an and try to buy the original tea shop so that they could trade directly with Hu Shang. In this way, the profits of Tianyigang's tea business have tripled, to say the least. If it weren't for Wu Qianping's reminder, the management of the Chang'an Tea Market was extremely strict, and foreign merchants would not be able to interfere, and Mingyi would not have figured out the reason.

Yes, only huge interests can make people crazy, not afraid of killing people and setting fires, and fighting in the same room.

Gong Junhao's eyes were fixed on the window lattice behind Mingyi, and the degree of force seemed to want to see through her whole person, but it didn't fall on her. The more he showed disapproval, the more sure Mingyi was that he had spoken to his heart.

Gong Junhao finally spoke: "Keming Lady has no tea business in Chang'an. ”

Ming Yi smiled slightly: "But Princess Wanshou has." ”

A flash of ecstasy flashed on Gong Junhao's face: "Blessed Lady Tuoming." ”

Needless to say, you understand everything. Princess Wanshou has a lot of private property, all of which are taken care of by special people, Mingyi knew that she had a tea house in the past, in addition to buying the best tea used in the princess's mansion, she also has a tea shop in the West Market, and the business is light. But the idea of using this tea shop for my own use is really a new idea.

Gong Junhao got up and took a deep look: "If you can help the Tianyi gang open up the tea trade road to the Western Regions, Gong is willing to share the profits with the Shangguan gang!" ”

The corners of Mingyi's mouth raised slightly: "What does it have to do with the Shangguan gang, I just want to help the princess find a reliable tea merchant." ”

Gong Junhao took a heart: "Having said that, Gong will never forget the kindness of Ming Niangzi." ”

Ming Yi nodded: "You also know that the tea market is strictly managed, and it is not much worse than the salt market." The weight of taxes, coupled with the exploitation along the way, and the difficulty of entering Chang'an West City, if you do it in an ordinary way, it will be cheaper for others. Now I want to still co-establish a tea shop with Princess Wanshou in the name of Rongyifang, and Tianyigang cooperates with Rongyifang in the name of Hangzhou Tea House. With the name of the princess, the tax is very low, there is the name of Rongyifang, the west market is smooth, and with the transportation of the Junling Dart Bureau, you only need to save most of the cost along the way. Is Gong Gang Leader satisfied? ”

Gong Junhao's face was not good-looking, it sounded like everything had been arranged, and the Tianyi gang had picked up a big bargain, but in fact, every link was caught in the hands of the Shangguan gang, and the money exchange and staffing of the Tianyi gang's tea business could not be hidden from Rong Yifang's ears and eyes. used an unimportant part of the Shangguan gang to bind half of the Tianyi gang's tea business.

But he didn't have a better choice.

Gong Junhao was a little depressed: "Then please ask Ming Niangzi to bother more." ”

Ming Yi nodded at him: "Expedient, Gong Gang Leader should also be considerate." This part of the private salt business given up by the Shangguan gang, I can promise for the Feng gang leader that it will not change for ten years. As for the tea business, you can find a way to set up a door again after a year and a half. ”

Gong Junhao had sweat on his forehead, and he knew that he was wrong, so he bowed his head and said, "How can I, Gong Junhao, be a person who forgets his righteousness?" With me for a day, I won't let Rong Yifang suffer. ”

Mingyi smiled, noncommittal. This is said as if it was not said, so as not to let Rong Yifang suffer? How much is a loss? How much is taking advantage? Let him be.

The tea business only needs to make up for the loss of the private salt business, not to mention, Chu Niangzi's energy is limited, if she doesn't cooperate with the Tianyi Gang and the Shentu Gang, sooner or later there will be other salt merchants to take up the share. Now there are three companies on the surface, but in fact, this business is basically monopolized, which is more secure.

What's more, when Rong Yifang cooperated with the Shentu gang in the gambling house, Mingyi always felt a little aggrieved. Since there is chaos, there will be another family, and from the greater chaos, there will be more opportunities. This is true of Rongyifang, and so is Chang'an.
