Li Hao looked at Fang Xuanling with straight eyes, he rubbed his chin with one hand, and then said: "I just don't know if the Taiyuan Wang family will end up in this matter, if their own family personally suppresses our Li Jiazhuang, it will be interesting." ”

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling nodded in agreement, "It would really be different if the Taiyuan Wang family intervened in this matter, but the real competition between Li Jiazhuang and the five surnamed Qiwang hadn't started yet, why were they so eager to make a move?" ”

Li Hao chuckled, the smile on his face was slightly intriguing, "Who said that the competition between Li Jiazhuang and the five surnamed Qiwang didn't start, Lao Fang!" As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, why can't you see this thing clearly? ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the more prosperous shops in Chang'an are all related to the five surnamed Qiwang families."

"Old Fang, do you know why they have to divide a branch? Isn't this just to better accumulate wealth and better control the world's scholars. ”

Fang Xuanling's face was full of doubts, and for a while, he couldn't understand what Li Hao meant, how could Li Hao see so much about a small thing, "Master Li, can you explain a little bit?" ”

Li Hao took a sip of tea, sighed and said: "Now that Datang has launched a scientific expedition, the five surnames and Qiwang are not stupid, and they don't know what kind of process Datang suddenly started the scientific expedition, so they can guess that someone is targeting them." ”

"The most important thing for the five surnames and seven hopes is their influence, and now the scientific expedition of Datang has little influence on them for the time being, but when the scientific expedition really begins, all this soy milk has become an unknown."

"This alone is enough to make the five surnames and seven wangs a little panicked, their status over the years has been a little embarrassing, and they naturally have to prepare to deal with it."

"As for why I said this incident, the five surnames and seven hopes are aimed at me, you listen to me explain them one by one."

"Now that the scientific expedition has started all positions, of course the five surnames and seven wangs want to cultivate more of their own forces, what is the most important thing in cultivating scholars?"

"Money!"

"Before Lijiazhuang appeared, the five surnames and Qiwang relied on their influence to make these shops crazy to make money, but they didn't want to affect their reputation because of some things, so they had branches."

"In the end, the money earned by these shops will go into the pockets of their own families, and they will be used by them to attract customers, cultivate Confucian students, and enhance their influence."

"However, these are all my guesses, believe it or not, Lao Fang, there are some things you still have to investigate, after all, knowing yourself and knowing that the other party is invincible, only by mastering the other party's plan can you break their conspiracy before the other party makes a move."

Fang Xuanling's eyes widened in disbelief, he never thought that Li Hao could see so many problems with this little thing.

If this is in Lijiazhuang, Fang Xuanling thinks this is normal, but this is in the Tang Dynasty, Li Hao has never really seen people with five surnames and seven wangs, and has not collided with them head-on.

Fang Xuanling was sure that all of this was Li Hao's own guesses, but he felt that these guesses were very reasonable.

After pondering for a long time, Fang Xuanling nodded, "I will tell Your Majesty about this matter when I go back, and Your Majesty will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

Li Hao didn't say anything lightly, he can be 100% sure that the five surnames and seven hopes must be involved in this matter today, and if this matter is done so secretly, it means that the people behind it don't want to see the light.

To put it simply, the five surnames and seven hopes don't want this matter to be exposed and affect their reputation among the people.

Suddenly, Li Hao thought of a question, and he was a little intriguing: "Lao Fang, did you say that other people have made a move in this matter?" Lijiazhuang affects the entire Datang economy. ”

"Chang'an has the largest population in Datang and the place with the most consumption, and Lijiazhuang occupies all the market, and others should not be watching."

When the words fell, Fang Xuanling's pupils constricted slightly, he naturally understood what Li Hao meant, didn't the others end up talking about the other five surnames and Qiwang?

"Master Li, if everyone does it, this matter will not be simple, I will inform Your Majesty as soon as possible and leave it to him to decide."

Li Hao waved his hand unhurriedly, "It's best to investigate this matter in secret first, if it is really related to all the five surnames and seven hopes, it is not too late to make plans at that time, but if they startle the snake, it will not be easy to start from the other side." ”

Fang Xuanling nodded secretly, he now unconditionally agrees with Li Hao's words, from beginning to end, what Li Hao said is for the sake of Datang, if Li Hao is a little selfish and doesn't tell him some important things, maybe there will be some chaos in Datang in the future.

After a while, Li Hao looked out the window and found that the sky was gradually darkening now, seeing this, he smiled mysteriously at Fang Xuanling, "Old Fang, let's go to the last place, haven't you always been curious about how I let that shop gain a foothold on Suzaku Street?" ”

Suddenly Fang Xuanling became interested, he was the most curious about that store, Li Hao protected that store tightly, no matter how he talked before, he couldn't come out.

If Li Hao hadn't mentioned it today, I'm afraid he would have looked at that store.

Subsequently, the two came to Suzaku Street, at this time, Li Hao's shop on Suzaku Street was covered by a huge red silk blocking the entire gate, and the entrance of the store was already in the downtown with a lot of people, and now the whole store was surrounded by water.

Li Hao's style attracted the attention of many people, and the people of the Tang Dynasty gave way to him.

The corners of Hao's mouth raised slightly, and soon he arrived in front of the store.

Li Hao looked at the noisy crowd, he stretched out his hand and shouted loudly: "Everyone, be quiet for the time being, now that the weather is hot, I naturally won't let you wait for a long time, and now is the auspicious time, I naturally want to open for business." ”

"But isn't it a little inappropriate for you to block the door? You have to line up and enter one by one, or you will rush into my little shop at once, and the threshold will be broken. ”

Hearing what Li Hao said, the people of the Tang Dynasty were all bursting into laughter, and many people said that Li Hao was close to the people, and there were other praises.

Seeing everyone lined up, Li Hao nodded with satisfaction, he and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other and stretched out their hands to grab the red silk, "Open the door!" ”

When the words fell, the red silk fell, and the three characters Cui Weiju on the plaque were shining brightly, and the vermilion thick door slowly opened, and in an instant, a dazzling golden light shone on Li Hao from through the gate.

Li Hao waved his hand behind him, "Come out!" ”

After that, more than a dozen pairs of men and women came out behind Li Hao, and they were still followed by children.

These men stood around with children on either side, each carrying a basket in their hands, and a pen, inkstone, and a few wades of red paper were quickly placed at the door.
