Volume 5 Chapter 540 Father and son turned against each other, and Xu Jingzong entered the set
Looking at the appearance of Changsun Wuji's gritted teeth, Changsun Chong understood very well that this was Li Chengqian's last test for him.
For him, position is a topic that can never be escaped.
Although he has been a master for some time, there is a clear difference between him and others.
In Daming, he is the only one who has a title to inherit in Datang except for Li Chengqian, Wei Shuyu and Wei Chi Baolin.
And Wei Shuyu is still young, and Wei Chi Baolin is not too concerned in this regard, only the eldest grandson Chong was beaten by Li Chengqian and Gao Chunxing because of his vacillating position before.
So Li Chengqian brought him here at this time, which was a test.
Of course, this is also a trick for Li Chengqian to deal with the eldest grandson Wuji.
Compared with the eldest grandson Wuji, Puxiruo and Li Qinjian are still a little younger, and with such an old fox, don't be too disciplined.
At this time, Pu Xiruo and Li Qinjian saw that Changsun Chong and Changsun Wuji were facing each other, and their hearts were also stunned.
Naturally, they also understood Li Chengqian's intentions, but as for whether there was any deep meaning behind this, they couldn't understand it.
On the other hand, the eldest grandson Wuji, he really hates it at this time.
Li Chengqian's hand really made him a little helpless, this time, no matter who loses or wins, it is his eldest grandson's family who loses......
That's why he said that Li Chengqian's hand was really ruthless!
Li Chengqian didn't care, waved his hand, and said: "This meal is also finished, and all the shops are in the final stage, Li Shangshu, why don't you go and see if you can hand in a satisfactory answer today?" ”
As he spoke, Li Chengqian glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji with a vague look.
Li Qinjian was about to get up, but the eldest grandson Wuji immediately said: "Don't worry, this business, it is inevitable to shop around, and bargain or something, where is it so fast, don't worry, wait." ”
He knows too well what he has done, if Li Qinjian is allowed to go, then the bet that Changsun Chong made before will definitely lose.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he wins or loses the bet, but he is worried about the future of Changsun Chong.
In the final analysis, he can't see through Li Chengqian now.
If Li Chengqian took advantage of such a trip to cut off the career of the eldest grandson, it would be the biggest loss for the eldest grandson's family.
As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji said this, Li Qinjian, who had just gotten up, looked at Li Chengqian, and saw that Li Chengqian nodded, so he said: "What the eldest grandson county guard said is very true, since this is the case, then wait a little longer." ”
In fact, everyone knows what the reaction is in the market, and at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji will stop him, and of course Li Chengqian will not object.
And the eldest grandson Wuji is actually nervously thinking about it at this time, in his opinion, he is the only one who can save the eldest grandson Chong's career at this time!
If he doesn't make a move, Changsun Chong's career is very likely to be hit hard.
And Changsun Chong is actually looking at himself nervously, Aye, he is not worried about his career, he is worried about Changsun Wuji.
Before the opening of the port market, Li Chengqian gave him some instructions, but Li Chengqian also said that if there were no accidents at the opening of the port today, there would be no rush in that matter.
This is also the reason why he suddenly stood up and made a bet with the eldest grandson Wuji.
This scene was actually not arranged by Li Chengqian, but Changsun Chong wanted to use his future to try to make Changsun Wuji more restrained today.
After all, when Eldest Sun Wuji threatened those merchants before, he could hear it clearly.
Of course, he actually wanted to see if he had any weight in Aye's heart.
After all, Li Chengqian said that people like him are the real officials.
However, the eldest grandson Wuji thought about it for a long time, but after all, there was no follow-up.
Yes, he didn't make any moves, of course, this was also something he thought about carefully, in his opinion, since all this was done by Li Chengqian, there was still no need for him to worry?
The most important thing is that the career of the eldest grandson Chong, which affects the future of the eldest grandson family, but he represents the present of the eldest grandson family.
In other words, it's all gone now, and there's a future for eggs?
So in the end, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't move at all.
Seeing this scene, Changsun Chong was still disappointed after all.
He suddenly realized that maybe this was politics, officialdom.
Of course, none of them know that this is called information asymmetry.
"Your Highness, Weichen wants to go out and have a look." After waiting for half a pillar of incense and not seeing any movement from Changsun Wuji, Changsun Chong finally stood up, not angry, but more or less disappointed, he knew very well that he Aya did not seize the opportunity.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled and nodded, but he didn't say much.
What he said to Li Qinjian before was actually persecuting the eldest grandson Wuji, of course, what his intention was to persecute the eldest grandson Wuji, may only be known to him.
Seeing the eldest grandson rushing out of the table, everyone at the banquet was a little helpless.
Officialdom is always so realistic.
As soon as the eldest grandson left the box, he immediately beckoned to the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
"What's the reaction in the market now?"
The shopkeeper immediately said: "Everyone is in the West Market, except for the West Market, there is almost no figure, and even if it is the West Market, only the newly opened glass and fertilizer shops have some business, and the specific eldest grandson Shilang will know it by himself." ”
Changsun Chong nodded, he had already expected this.
Before, the eldest grandson Wuji had said that part, who of those businessmen would dare to buy in Daming?
Aren't you afraid that as soon as they return to the Tang Dynasty, they will be given an excuse by the eldest grandson Wuji?
Who dares to do business with the official family face to face?
Isn't that unpleasant for yourself?
"Thank you, this official will go to the West Market." With that, Changsun Chong walked out of the restaurant.
Outside the restaurant, some officials from the household department are also waiting here.
"I'm tired of the eldest grandson Shilang helping the lower officials and others to pass a message to Li Shangshu, I'm afraid something is going to happen today." As soon as the household officials saw Changsun Chong, they immediately ran over and bowed down and said.
The eldest grandson waved his hand and said, "It's okay, this official has been ordered by His Royal Highness to deal with this matter, if there is anything, tell this official first." ”
The household officials were stunned, when will it be the turn of the Ministry of Rites to take care of the affairs of the household department?
"What's the matter, you can't trust this official, right?" When the eldest grandson saw that there were no cherry blossoms, he immediately scolded angrily.
It's okay to be angry with his own Aya above, but he is still angry with these people when he comes down, and he is really angry.
"Don't dare, don't dare." The head of the household department said with a smile, "It's just that the eldest grandson also knows how to do business?" ”
"What kind of business does this official know?" Changsun Chong laughed angrily, "Okay, the reason why those businessmen hesitate today has little to do with the way of doing business, let's talk about it first, how much is today's trading volume?" ”
"Thirty-one orders." When the household official heard this, he said with an embarrassed face.
"Only thirty-one orders?" Changsun Chong never thought that a huge treaty port, hundreds of merchants, and so long of hard work, only 31 orders were sold!
He thought that today's trading volume might be a little bleak, but he never expected it to be so bleak!
"Yes." The household official said, "And many of these 31 orders are brought by those new product listings, if it weren't for those new products on the market, the transaction volume may be lower today......
After speaking, the household officials were also depressed.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this can be said to be the biggest failure of the household department.
The trade port, which has spent countless manpower and material resources to build, only reached a transaction volume of 31 orders on the first day of the opening of the market.
Eldest Sun Chong also sighed and said, "In this way, the banquet above has ended, you send one person up to report this result first, and the rest will go with me."
These guys in Datang really think that I am a soft persimmon!
Today, the official is going to let them see that what Da Ming wants to do is not what he can't do! ”
He was really angry at this moment.
Today's trading volume is so bleak that in addition to his own Aye's previous verbal threats, those officials in Datang must have done something else.
Otherwise, how could it be so bleak?
You must know that among these merchants, there are many representatives of the big families, and the eldest grandson Wuji can bluff those rootless duckweed, but the caravans of those big families are really not afraid of him.
"Why don't you report later?" When the household officials heard this, they were a little worried.
This volume is reported, and they are also afraid of falling into the melon.
"It doesn't matter." Changsun Chong said, "Let's make those officials of Datang happy for a while, hmph, there are times when they cry, and even if you don't go now, it is estimated that it won't be long before Your Highness will send someone to ask." ”
"Okay then." At that moment, the household officials discussed it and agreed.
Soon, a household official entered the restaurant, while the rest of the people rushed to the West Market with the eldest grandson.
In the restaurant, after the eldest grandson rushed away, everyone chatted again.
It's just nonsense, and there's nothing concrete.
At this moment, the official of the household department pushed the door in, bowed down and said, "See Your Highness." ”
"Huh?" Seeing this, Li Chengqian said with a smile, "But today's trading volume has come out?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, come out." When he said this, cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the household official, and he didn't know how to say the next words.
Li Chengqian didn't care, and asked: "On the first day of the opening of my Ming treaty port, did you hand in a satisfactory answer?" ”
"That ......," the household official was so nervous that he couldn't even speak.
"It's okay, just say it."
The household official secretly looked at Li Chengqian's face, and then stumbled and said: "Since the opening of the market, up to now, a total of 31 transactions have been completed by the shops at the port......
After speaking, the household official immediately buried his head again.
Hearing this trading volume, Pu Xiruo and Li Qinjian were also taken aback, they guessed that today's trading volume would be very low, but they didn't expect it to be so low.
At that moment, the two looked at each other.
Li Qinjian also immediately understood his intentions, stood up, and said: "Your Highness, today's port market is so bleak, Weichen has the responsibility to shirk it, Weichen asked me to go and see in person which joint went wrong." ”
"Go ahead." Li Chengqian nodded, but he didn't say much, he knew that Li Qinjian and Pu Xiruo still had a backup move that was useless, and he also wanted to see if the two guys' back moves could play any role.
When the eldest grandson Wuji, Xu Jingzong and others heard this, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Although it was not as they expected, the transaction volume of only 31 orders was indeed an irony for a treaty port between two countries.
Especially Xu Jingzong, he is doing a lot of things.
At this time, the volume of thirty-one orders really gave him a strong sense of satisfaction.
can defeat the Ming Dynasty in business, it can be said that he is the first person in recent years!
This honor does not allow him not to be proud.
Of course, there is also Chu Suiliang who feels the same way as him, and people like them actually value being able to teach Li Chengqian the most, at least they think so.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the unstoppable joy told Li Chengqian almost all the time that there are mountains outside the mountains and there are people outside the people.
After Li Qinjian left, Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Wuji and said with a smile: "After all, Changsun County is still a chess player, and this gamble looks like Changsun Chong lost?" ”
"Your Highness has a good reputation." The eldest grandson Wuji said, "The eldest grandson is young and vigorous, such a national event, how can it be a gamble?"
Eat a trench and grow a wisdom, I hope that after this time, the eldest grandson can understand this truth. ”
That being said, anyone could see that the smile on the old fox's face was almost impossible to hide.
"Listening to the meaning of the words of the Changsun Junshou, it seems that the Changsun Junshou has won this time?" Li Chengqian smiled.
"Huh?" The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned suddenly, what did Li Chengqian mean by this?
It's all at this time, is it difficult for Li Chengqian to make any future moves?
He pondered it carefully, but he didn't notice that he still had any mistakes, and immediately asked suspiciously, "Isn't it that His Highness has other arrangements?" ”
"What can this king do?" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "But the eldest grandson also said that the eldest grandson is young and vigorous, since he is young and vigorous, how can he easily admit defeat?"
No, isn't he going out, maybe he's saving the disadvantage, trying to turn the tables is not known. ”
"At this point, I'm afraid it's not easy for the eldest grandson to turn the tables around." Xu Jingzong immediately said.
Originally, he was not ready to interject, after all, in front of Li Chengqian, he was unwilling to show his face too much.
But Li Chengqian mentioned the eldest grandson Chong, and the eldest grandson Wuji was not easy to speak, so he had to come up.
Li Chengqian is no stranger to Xu Jingzong, in the past two years, he has completely fused the memory of his original body, and naturally knows this traitor who is famous in history books.
"Xu Juncheng, this is not looking down on our eldest grandson." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Xu Jingzong sneered in his heart, is it useful to sow discord at such a low level?
Who is the eldest grandson Wuji? Will you eat this set?
"Your Highness laughed." Xu Jingzong bowed and said, "How dare foreign ministers look down on others, they are just doing business, and they are also talking about the right time, place and people."
Nowadays, although Daming's goods are indeed hard to find in Datang, more than two years have passed, and Datang has been able to produce many of the things sold by Daming itself.
That being the case, why did those merchants bring back to Datang these things that could be bought everywhere in Datang? Isn't that thankless?
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty was too harsh on businessmen and demanded a lot, if it were not for extraordinary interests, how would they be willing? ”
Hearing Xu Jingzong say this, Li Chengqian smiled, looked at Xu Jingzong, and said with a smile: "Just now, my eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty made a bet with the eldest grandson of your country.
Otherwise, how about Xu Juncheng make a bet with this king?
This king bets that my eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to turn the tables against the wind! ”
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Xu Jingzong was stunned.
At this time, Li Chengqian actually has to bet?
Turning the tables against the wind?
How does he flip it?
At that moment, he looked at Chu Suiliang and then at the eldest grandson Wuji.
The two of them are just as incredible.
But they all shook their heads at Xu Jingzong.
Xu Jingzong said at this time: "The status of the foreign minister is humble, how can he bet with His Highness? No, it's disrespectful. ”
"It doesn't matter." Li Chengqian immediately smiled and said, "In this way, if Xu Juncheng wins, this king can fulfill Xu Juncheng's wish, if this king wins, Xu Juncheng only needs to write a word?" As for what to write, I'll talk about it then. ”
Li Chengqian has never had a good impression of villains like Xu Jingzong, so he was ready to yin him when he saw the opportunity.
When Xu Jingzong heard this, he couldn't refuse, so he responded immediately.
And Changsun Wuji and others are also quite helpless, the matter has come to this point, they also want to see how Changsun Chong turns the tables against the wind?
As for Yang Tingshi and the others, one or two of them were in a cold sweat behind their backs, and when this immortal fight, they were the most frightened.
I can't finish writing, so I'll continue tomorrow...... Time is running out.
