"What did Gongzi Wen say?" asked Li Chongshan with some concern.

"There are pros and cons to everything. Xiao Yue picked up the teacup beside her, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Actually, you didn't find the wrong person, I can really help a little bit in this matter, but... She looked around, smiled and said, "You said that the emperor has recruited so many salt merchants and iron merchants this time, why are you the only ones who have found me?"

Li Chongshan knew in his heart that it was a coincidence that he could come to find Wen Yue, if it wasn't for his intention to befriend Min Changwen and help Hua Niang with kindness, he would not have been recommended by Min Changwen and Hua Niang to him, and he himself would not have known that there was such a person as Wen Yue. Later, when he went to visit other officials, he didn't deliberately inquire about Wen Yue, but only mentioned his name intentionally or unintentionally, and the other party was like thunder, it was very strange that basically none of these officials were familiar with Wen Yue, so naturally they didn't know that Wen Yue would have something to do with the emperor's wanton summoning of salt and iron merchants.

When Li Chongshan took his son to Yingyue Xuan to meet Xiaoyue with a name post, he looked up and saw the door plaque that those officials were extremely envious and jealous of, and he knew that he would not come in vain.

"Young Master Wen, this may be fate. So if there are really any bad consequences, we will admit it. Li Chongshan didn't have any bad intentions when he came to see Wen Yue this time, he just wanted to throw stones and ask for directions, and fully prepared before facing the saint.

Xiao Yue lowered her head and smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it bluntly, this time the face saint can be described as an opportunity for your Li family, and it may also be a disaster." ”

Li Chongshan has been speculating about the holy will since he received the holy decree and before he saw Xiao Yue, he has been up and down in his heart, and he is not at peace, but he is calm after listening to Xiao Yue's words, "My Li family has always kept in mind the word integrity in business for generations, and has not done anything sorry for the court and the people, let alone committed adultery, I don't know where this catastrophe came from, and I dare not think about this opportunity." ”

Seeing that he was so calm, Xiao Yue felt a little more admiration in her heart, "Well, although the words are good, but the salt merchant is different from other merchants, do you know?"

This question asked Li Chongshan's business, he nodded and said: "The Li family's family business is the inheritance left by the ancestors, and this industry is envied by others, so we just need to keep our business well, and future generations will not worry about food and clothing." ”

Xiao Yue nodded, and then asked, "Then do you know how many salt merchants the emperor summoned this time?"

Li Chongshan immediately said: "I have already inquired about this, in addition to our Li family in Jinyang Prefecture, there is also the Huang family in Pingjing Prefecture, our two families have salt wells for generations, and they make a living by drilling wells to extract brine to make salt, in addition to the six major salt merchants, Zhang Liu, Chen and Zhao Si, they control the land road of the salt road, and the two big salt merchants of Wu Luo control the transportation of salt. ”

Xiao Yue listened to it and pondered for a long time, she felt that if she was Yuan Chenhao, she would inevitably leave a few salt merchants and let the imperial court directly control the production of salt wells, so that the Li family would be in danger.

Li Chongshan looked at Xiao Yue's grim face, and asked a little worriedly, "Gongzi Wen, is there anything wrong?"

Xiao Yue nodded, "It's not that I'm alarmist, this time the Li family is probably more than lucky." ”

Hearing this, Li Yaozu's young mind was unstable, and he couldn't sit still at first, "Young Master Wen, what does this mean? We Li didn't do anything wrong, how could there be a catastrophe?"

Xiao Yue thought to herself that her husband was innocent and had the allusion of his guilt, they were afraid that they had never heard of it, and they didn't bother to waste this tongue, so she comforted them and said: "Don't worry, didn't I say it before, whether it is an opportunity or a disaster, and now I don't have to say it's not necessarily." ”

After all, Li Chongshan has been in business for many years, and there are not too many emotional fluctuations at the moment, he pretended to be calm and said: "If the son can let the Li family escape the disaster, Li Chongshan will be grateful in the future!"

Xiao Yue smiled slightly, "I'm not an immortal, I don't have the ability to turn my hands into clouds and cover my hands for rain, but I know one thing, that is, to follow the trend and follow the trend, you can keep safe." ”

Li Chongshan listened to Xiao Yue's half-headed-half-cut words, and he was very confused, and he asked, "Young Master Wen, please elaborate." ”

Xiao Yue didn't explain the reason directly, but said, "No matter what I say, will your Li family trust me, will you do what I say?"

This sentence stumped Li Chongshan, after all, he can't fully trust Wen Yue now, if this matter really has a major relationship with the Li family, he must think about it carefully, and he will not simply listen to the words of one person, let alone Wen Yue, who has no friendship at all.

However, Li Yaozu on the side was less simple-minded, and when he saw that his father was still hesitating, he couldn't help but say: "Brother Wen, we will trust you, please tell me." ”

Xiao Yue and Li Chongshan both looked at Li Yaozu in surprise, Xiao Yue felt that this child was still the same as what he saw on Jinlong Mountain, there was no scheming, and Li Chongshan was shocked at first, he didn't think that his son was so scheming, but he thought about it again, and agreed to come down first and see the situation.

"Master Wen, we don't have any dealings with each other, but you are willing to lend a helping hand to my Li family, it is this friendship, we are also grateful, how can we not believe what you say. ”

Xiao Yue looked at the expressions of his father and son one by one, she felt that it was reasonable that Li Chongshan couldn't fully believe in herself, but she couldn't mind too much, and she couldn't let them look down on her, so she said with a smile: "What Boss Li said is that you and I have no intersection, and it is not good for me to help you, maybe it will cause me trouble, but why should I help you?"

Li Chongshan felt that there was something in this Wenyue's words, and felt that this person's mind was bottomless, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he had to reply: "Li Mou said just now, as long as the son is willing to help us, he will be grateful in the future." ”

Xiao Yue burst out laughing, "In the future, who knows what the situation will be in the future, it's hard to say if the Li family is still there." ”

Seeing that her words were getting heavier and heavier, Li Chongshan knew that it was not good, and further lowered his posture and said, "What does Gongzi Wen want?"

Xiao Yue took a sip of tea and said politely: "Boss Li, in fact, I don't have any intentions, I just hope that when I help you, I can also protect myself, isn't this human nature?"

Li Chongshan found that a thin layer of sweat actually appeared on his forehead, he wiped the sweat away with his cuffs, and said, "What Gongzi said is extremely true, extremely true." ”

Xiao Yue didn't intend to let him pass so simply, she stared at Li Chongshan's eyes, and said word by word: "You remember, you haven't come to me today, and you haven't said the following things to me. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Chongshan and Li Yaozu immediately raised their heads and looked at the serious Xiaoyue, dumbfounded.
