Li Hao raised his glass and drank together, but did not speak.

Li Ziyin was not annoyed, and took the initiative to divert the topic.

"Now that the Cui family is dead, I don't know what your plans will be in the future, Lord Wang?"

Li Hao pondered for a moment with his wine glass: "Of course, I will make good money after that!" In order to destroy the Cui family, my Li Jiazhuang spent a lot of money. At the end of the day, I'm still a businessman, and there's no reason why I can't get back the money I lose. ”

"It's also said that now that the Cui family's reputation is ruined, no one will buy the grain anymore, and the grain in Lijiazhuang can just be used."

"The little grain I have has been corrupted and thrown away, how can I sell the surplus to the people of Hongzhou!" Li Hao smiled, and there was a joking glint in his eyes.

Li Ziyin was stunned for a moment, and seemed to think of something: "You didn't bring grain here at all!" ”

Li Hao put his finger between his lips: "Shh, they don't know about this matter, don't make a noise." ”

"What a Zhen'an king, I really underestimate you!" Li Ziyin was stunned for a long time, and finally came back to her senses: "I originally thought that I was guiding you to deal with Cui Baitai this time, but I didn't expect that you had already seen through everything early in the morning, and you were deliberately acting with me!" ”

It turned out that Li Hao did not travel long distances to send Lijiazhuang's grain to Huixian, and he guessed early on that Cui Baitai would start selling grain at the moment when Lijiazhuang's convoy entered Hongzhou, in order to make Li Hao unable to advance or retreat, so he could only sell grain to them cheaply.

Li Hao went the opposite way, deliberately transported a batch of fake materials into Hongzhou, and helped Li Ziyin start acting in advance, urging Cui Baitai to start selling grain.

"You're so bold, aren't you afraid that I have other plans, and I haven't thought of transporting grain to Hongzhou at all?"

"For example, if the seeds of today's grain are all from my Lijiazhuang, can I not know how much each county produces every year? If you want to buy so much food, the Cui and Li families are probably hollowed out, right? If you don't bring it to Hongzhou, where can you send it? Hongzhou has been in chaos for half a month, and the people are fleeing to death, even if I don't pretend to transport grain over, I can't last too long compared to Cui Baitai's side, right? ”

Li Hao looked at Li Ziyin's beautiful eyes and said, "The reason why I cooperated with you to act is just to give you a reason to push Cui Baitai into the abyss!" ”

"The wisdom of the prince, Ziyin is served!" Li Ziyin smiled bitterly and drank a glass of wine alone: "If you guess correctly, the prince is going to buy the Cui family's grain next, right?" ”

"Clever! Now the Cui family's reputation is gone, and the business world has no place to stand. Emptied the family's funds to buy food, if they hoarded here, the Cui family would die immediately, and they had to stop the loss. If Miss Li is free, why don't you help me calculate the price at which I can buy food to satisfy them! ”

"Seventy percent!" Li Ziyin didn't think about it, and directly threw out the answer. The reason why she is so sure is because she has calculated it early in the morning. Originally, she planned to buy this batch of grain by herself to help the Li family make profits.

However, at this moment, when he learned that Li Hao had not brought grain, he guessed that he was bound to get this batch of grain. For the sake of a little benefit, offending King Zhen'an, the gain really outweighed the loss, Li Ziyin could afford to put it down, and immediately gave up.

Li Hao clapped his hands: "Miss Li, don't blame me, in fact, you shouldn't have the idea of fighting this batch of grain in the first place." Don't forget that since you arrived in Huixian, you have lived with Cui Baitai in the mansion of a wealthy businessman, although you have explained everything above the Tang Dynasty today. But if the Cui family falls, you go up to ask for food, what will the Cui family think, and what will the people think? Protecting one's self is not groundless. ”

Li Ziyin was stunned for a moment, recalculated, and found that what Li Hao said was reasonable.

This time Cui Baitai suddenly fell, and she was already very suspicious. If she goes to ask for food at this moment, the Cui family will definitely get involved with this matter. The Cui family has been based in the Central Plains for a hundred years, and some of them are proud. How could he ally himself with her, the culprit? will definitely break the net with her.

At that time, not only will you not be able to get food, but you will also get into a commotion.

What's more, there will be messages among the people, saying that she Li Ziyin deliberately harmed Cui Baitai in order to make a profit in Hongzhou.

The most important thing for a businessman to do business is the word reputation.

If outsiders know that Li Ziyin has harmed allies, they will be able to suffer in the future, just to prove that they need enough for Li Ziyin to drink a pot.

"The prince is far-sighted, Ziyin is ashamed of himself, thank you prince!" Li Ziyin took a deep breath and waved her hand at Li Hao

"You're welcome!" Li Hao waved his hand: "By the way, the Cui family's industry in Chang'an has all fallen into the hands of Brother Lu, I hope that Miss will raise her noble hand and not fight." Otherwise, we will have to turn friends into enemies and fight head-to-head! ”

"You!" Li Ziyin's face froze, and she was a little angry.

It would be okay to hand over all the interests here in Hongzhou to Li Hao, but he didn't expect that Chang'an would have been calculated by him for a long time. Lu Yuchang lives in Chang'an, he sits in Hongzhou, and all his interests belong to them. Li Ziyin has worked hard for so long, but she has not reaped any benefits.

Li Hao laughed: "Miss, don't be angry first, listen to me slowly." Since you can form an alliance with Lu Yuchang, it means that your goals are the same. The five surnames and seven hopes have taken root in the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, and they have already deteriorated. If Datang wants to prosper, it must take off its old shackles. ”

"Brother Lu's path is more difficult than Miss's, so I choose to help him first. Miss is the daughter of the Li family, if I and Brother Lu can help, we will definitely be able to control the field, why care about this benefit? We are now grasshoppers on the same rope, so why bother to divide you and me? ”

Li Ziyin was very aggrieved, and her chest rose and fell several times, and it took half a day to calm down.

"Since the prince has said so, what can the little girl do? I only hope that the prince will remember what he said today and not break his word. Otherwise, the little girl can only fight with you! ”

"What Miss Li said, I was a little scared! But I have a question, and I hope Miss can answer it. The Li family in Longxi has long been separated from the emperor, why do you want to help the emperor? ”

"How do you know?" Li Ziyin was shocked again, from beginning to end, she had never expressed her position, how could Li Hao guess that she was the emperor's person?

"Filling the treasury is such a big thing, if you have nothing to do with Lao Li, he will rest assured that this matter will be handed over to you people with five elements and seven hopes? Do you think my Li Jiazhuang is an ornament? ”

Li Ziyin was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Okay, since you and Your Majesty are like brothers, I won't hide it from you." The Li family in Longxi and the emperor belong to the same clan. Since the establishment of the first emperor, it has been divided because of the relationship of interests. But I have always felt that the Li family in Longxi is the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, and the Li family can only prosper when the Tang Dynasty is prosperous. We are intertwined, flesh and blood. ”

"In recent years, the five surnames and seven hopes have become the moths of the country, and they can't be eliminated if they are not removed. Instead of letting the Li family in Longxi empty the dynasty, it is better for me to destroy it and rebuild it. Therefore, five years ago, I got in touch with His Majesty and became the internal response of the Li family! ”

"Miss Li is worthy of the title of Zhuge and has done her best for the country and the people! However, this road is difficult to walk, I hope Miss cherishes it! ”

Li Ziyin grinned, as beautiful as an epiphany blooming.

"It may have been difficult in the past, but now isn't there the help of the prince? It's late today, Ziyin will say goodbye first, hoping to have the opportunity to drink with the prince at the same table in the future! ”

Li Ziyin said that she got up and said goodbye, and walked outside quickly.
