Volume 5 Chapter 674 The First Encounter

The news of the rebuilding of Tang Law soon spread.

When Wang Dequan received the news, it was already approaching evening.

"Quick, quickly spread the news back to Sun Moon Mountain, some people can't sit still." The reason why the word Daming appeared in Chang'an was not to give Li Chengqian any prestige, but to remind the people not to forget that there was such a prince in the Tang Dynasty.

At this point, he naturally knows that time has always been a sharp weapon.

Let's talk about Yang Lin and Li Qinjian, these two guys used to be influential figures in Jingyang, but since following Li Chengqian to the Western Regions over the years, Jingyang seems to have forgotten the two of them, and it is only occasionally that he can remember them.

Therefore, a forgotten prince is what Da Ming is most worried about.

As the news spread, Wang Dequan also began to think about it: "In this way, a few of you will go to the West Market and spread the news." ”

Xishi, that is the gathering place of Hu merchants.

Almost all of Chang'an's Hu merchants were in Xishi.

This time, Datang's riotous operation, they are not the only ones who are injured.

"You don't need us to spread the news, do you?" Someone said, "The news of the imperial court has come down, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the news is received in the West Market." ”

"Those Hu businessmen don't realize the seriousness of the situation at all, of course, this matter doesn't have much impact on them, so even if they hear it, you think they will take it seriously, and it's a big deal to change the signboard." Wang Dequan said, "But for us, that's not the case, understand?

In the final analysis, Datang's move is just aimed at my Daming.

So you go ...... now"

As he spoke, Wang Dequan explained something in a low voice.

When the man heard this, he also hurriedly withdrew.

After doing this, Wang Dequan began to ponder, since Datang has started to do it, they really have no room for resistance, but the question is, what should they do next?

……

That night, the Hu merchants of Xishi also got together, and they were also discussing this issue.

"At first, I thought it didn't matter, after all, doing business in Datang naturally has to follow the laws of Datang, but today I heard people say that this is the trend of gradual sinicization of the Tang court, I don't know what you think?"

"I've heard the news too." Someone said,"If it's just a signboard,,It's fine.,But if it's really for sinicization,,Then I can't accept it.,Although I also like Chang'an,But after all, one day,I still hope to go back.。 ”

In this era, the vast majority of people have an extremely strong national plot, and aliens are no exception.

Of course, what they heard was naturally spread by Wang Dequan.

"I heard that this was made by His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and they said that he would not be ......"

"What else would it be?" Someone immediately said, "Actually, it's already obvious, isn't it just for that position and the fighting method of Daming!"

Cutting us and trying to make capital, to put it bluntly, we are just fish in the pond that have been affected. ”

After that, this person also shook his head, with a helpless face.

Although these Hu businessmen are rich, they have no status, and their days in Datang are actually just superficial.

This is also the compatibility of Datang, otherwise their lives will only be more difficult.

"What's the use of saying so much? Let's just say what to do, right? Someone asked.

"So, let's unite and ask the Ministry of Rites?"

If these people are united, there is still energy, not to mention anything else, the entire business of the West Market is controlled by these people, this is a lot of energy.

Even Li Ke had to face it carefully.

After all, if the business of Xishi collapses, the entire Chang'an will be greatly impacted.

……

On the other side, Yue Wangfu, Li Tai is very comfortable at this time.

For him, there seemed to be no worries in this world, and since he temporarily let go of the idea of that position, his life was not to mention how comfortable.

Sometimes, what prevents a person's happiness is often not something external, but desire.

Especially for a person from a prominent background like Li Tai, if he really curbs his desires, there are few troubles in this world.

"Your Highness, I heard that the King of Shu has begun to attack that one."

When Li Tai heard this, he smiled and said, "He can't help himself now, okay, let's not make trouble for him."

It's not easy, especially in the future, it's only going to be even harder. ”

"Your Highness is sure that the King of Shu will lose?" The people around me were a little curious.

Since their Highness returned from Sun Moon Mountain, it seems that he has changed as a different person, and he no longer has any desires.

Although it seems to be safe now, it is still a little less rushing.

"People, all the same, their desires are insatiable, so they are all carried away by desires.

That person's position, as long as he doesn't mess around, no one can shake it. ”

Li Tai was much clearer about all this, and he saw it more clearly, and he smiled at the moment.

"No, the real opponent is not the King of Shu." When the subordinates heard this, they were also puzzled.

This is the truth, Li Chengqian's opponents have never been Li Ke and Li Tai, but their father.

Li Tai shook his head and said, "This is a trend, and no one can change it." ”

He actually knows very well that Tang Ming's unification is the general trend, don't talk about Li Ke, even Li Er can't change anything.

Unless in the process, Li Chengqian did something angry and resentful.

However, judging from Li Chengqian's performance over the years, this is almost impossible.

"So we're going to do nothing? Including Daming's side? ”

"Well, don't do anything." Li Tai nodded and said, "At this time, if you don't move, you move, let's watch the show." ”

He knew what his subordinates meant, it was nothing more than to show favor to Li Chengqian in advance, but there was no need.

As far as he knows, his brother is actually smart, what you do and what you think, people may not know.

At this time, doing these things will inevitably have some meanings of adding to the snake, and it is not necessary.

……

The next day, the Ministry of Rites.

Li Xiaogong has one head and two big.

Looking at the dense Hu Shang in the hall, who was chattering there, his brain was about to explode.

It stands to reason that with his status and status, this matter can't actually be found on his head, but there are too many Hu businessmen, almost all the Hu businessmen in the West City are gathered here, the impact is too great, and others don't know how to deal with it, so he can only come forward as the Shangshu of Rong Ma's life.

"Lord Wang, it can't go on like this......"

Without waiting for them to finish speaking, Li Xiaogong waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, okay, this matter is not in the hands of this king, you are in the wrong place."

This is the Ministry of Rites! ”

He was also speechless, these Gentile people are not good at this, as long as there is a little, the first thing to look for is the Ministry of Rites.

Those who don't know still think that his Ministry of Rites is a foreign yamen.

"I know, we all know this, isn't this familiar with the Ministry of Rites?" The man also hurriedly said, "Moreover, Datang is doing this, our business can't go on, isn't this also to say goodbye to the prince, in this Chang'an City, we know that we are soft-spoken, and we can't change anything, and now we have to close the shop and go back."

Over the years, we have also been blessed with the care of the prince and the Ministry of Rites, and we will keep it in mind. ”

After that, the guy immediately knelt down, and the guys who came with him also knelt down with their butts pouted, and their mouths were full of words of gratitude.

Li Xiaogong touched his head, he knew that these guys were difficult, do you think they are really grateful?

Roll the calves, people call retreat as advance.

If these Hu merchants in the West Market are all closed and go back, hehe, look at it, I don't know how many people will be held accountable, of course, when the time comes, it is difficult to say whether Li Er will let them go back alive with their wealth.

"It's not decided yet, so why are you so troubled." Li Xiaogong shook his head, quite helpless.

People are very respectful, as the so-called reaching out and not hitting smiling people, he really has no reason to accuse them.

"It's just a matter of time or time, and we have to clean up in advance." The man at the head continued.

Li Xiaogong sighed and said: "Okay, this king will let people inform the king of Shu, all this is in his hands, if you have anything to say, tell him." ”

He shouldn't actually care about this idle matter, after all, this is equivalent to indirectly helping Li Ke, after all, as long as something really happens in the West Market, Li Ke will be to blame.

But he Li Xiaogong is the county king of the Tang Dynasty after all, although he is unwilling to get involved in the dispute between the princes, but he can't watch Chang'an go into chaos.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." A group of Hu merchants hurriedly said.

"Get up, and do what you kneel." Li Xiaogong was a little speechless, he had done this, who else did he show this ghost?

With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

After he left, a group of Hu merchants got up to discuss, and I don't know how long it took, Li Tai finally walked in accompanied by Quan Wanji and others.

After looking at it, Li Xiaogong was not there, and he didn't ask much, he immediately looked at the group of Hu merchants and said: "This king Li Ke, I heard that you are very dissatisfied with my Tang Dynasty's re-establishment of Tang Law?" ”

"Don't dare." Hearing Li Ke's words, everyone was also shocked, some of them may have seen it, but most of them have never seen this one, they didn't expect this one to be so domineering.

"And what are your intentions?" Li Ke was not polite at all, of course, this was also his strategy to take the lead.

At this point, he is becoming more and more aggressive, and it will be a little later to take the initiative.

Of course, not everyone will be frightened by his momentum, such as the guy who was the leader, who also stood up and said: "I have seen His Royal Highness, since His Royal Highness asked, I naturally dare not hide it, now Chang'an is expensive, it is not easy to live, and I have been away from home for a long time, I just came to say goodbye to the king of the county and the Ministry of Rites, and I plan to return to my homeland and return to my roots." ”

"Is that so?" Li Tai sneered when he heard this, "Didn't you hear that my Tang Dynasty rebuilt the Tang Law, so you were afraid?" Or do you want to be a traitor in my Datang department, and you are afraid of being found out? ”

He didn't know how to deal with it, but he had to face it anyway.

Hearing his words, the leader Hu Shang was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "I have indeed heard about the re-cultivation of the Tang law, but if His Highness says that we have violated the law of the Tang Dynasty, then it is really wronging us."

If His Royal Highness doesn't believe it, just send someone to investigate thoroughly, and we promise to cooperate with the government, and before that, we will close the door as much as possible to rectify, and we must wait for the government to complete the investigation before leaving Chang'an. ”

In business, it may be a little greasy, but it's just a little bit.

If you really want to talk about it, the businessman of this year is actually quite conscientious.

Of course, this is not his confidence, his real confidence is not this.

When Li Ke heard this, when he didn't know what to do, Quan Wanji next to him stood up and said: "This official believes that the vast majority of businessmen are fine, and the real problem may be only a few, Your Highness, or ......."

He didn't finish his words, but Li Ke understood, not only him, but even those Hu businessmen understood.

Split apart.

Disintegrate you from within.

"This king thinks so, after all, you have made contributions to my Datang over the years, and there are really moths, and they are only a very few."

When it comes to this, it actually depends on who is more able to resist.

Of course, from a practical point of view, it must be Li Tai who is more able to resist, without him, on their side, the will is unified.

On the contrary, this is not the case on Hu Shang's side.

First, they don't want to give up the business in Chang'an, and second, no one wants to be that very individual. Especially when Li Tai didn't pronounce the name, anyone could be that very individual.

In fact, if they are really united, everyone will withdraw from the West Market together, and some accidents may be encountered, but Li Ke will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

It's just clear that no one wants that.

Just when these Hu merchants hesitated, Quan Wanji smiled and said: "Your Highness is actually worried about something, in this way, within ten days, Your Highness will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, I don't know what you think?" ”

He knows that he can't always be strong at this time, if he really wants to be strong all the time, it will only backfire, and when he should be gentle, he still has to be gentle.

Moreover, if they really want to make a mess of the West Market, they will be unlucky in the end.

Seeing this, the leader immediately said no more, nodded his head, and acquiesced.

What can they do?

Judging from the situation just now, they themselves are still not united enough, and of course, the reason why they are gathered here is for interests after all.

After sending this group of Hu businessmen, Li Ke summoned an official of the Ministry of Rites and said with a smile: "Where is Uncle Wang?" This king has to thank Uncle Wang today. ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, the king of the county went out before, and as for where he went, the lower officials really don't know."

Hearing this, Li Ke smiled and waved his hand, and sent the man away, and then left the Ministry of Rites with Quan Wanji and others.

As soon as he walked out of the Ministry of Rites, someone said, "Isn't this King of Hejian too reluctant to give His Highness?" Knowing that His Highness was down, he chose to leave at this time, and he clearly avoided it! ”

"Huh?" Li Ke, who was walking in front, didn't want to squeak, but at this moment, he couldn't help but turn around and say, "What should you say?" ”

He was really a little annoyed, these guys under his hands seemed to have swelled recently, and they dared to judge Li Xiaogong, it was ridiculous!

"The lower official lost his words." The man said hurriedly.

Li Ke snorted coldly, and then said no more, but said to Quan Wanji: "Who does Changshi think is doing this time? ”

"There is no one else but Da Ming." Quan Wanji was very sober and said, "This is the means of a businessman, and the old man remembers that Wang Dequan, the messenger of the Ming Dynasty, is not from a businessman?" ”

"It's not very clever, but it's really practical." Li Ke nodded and said, "It's just a little early, if he plans more carefully and directly closes the Hu merchants in the West Market overnight, it may really cause us a lot of trouble." ”

"A businessman is a businessman, and he still lacks some vision." Quan Wanji said, "If this is the case, let alone us, even Datang will have to be shaken."

Of course, at that point, Wang Dequan, as the initiator, is estimated to not have a good end, don't look at him as the messenger of the Ming Dynasty, he really angered His Majesty......"

He didn't finish speaking, but everyone knew that if it really came to that point, Li Er's knife would not be merciful.

"Your Highness, Changshi, since everyone over there has started to make moves, don't we have any reaction?"

"React, how to react?" Quan Wanji smiled, "Looking for a theory? ”

He was also a little speechless, obviously they were the ones who shot first, how could they make it as if they were the victims in the mouths of these people.

Yesterday's was blocked.,It seems that I can't write about Hu's teaching.,I was going to give it a try.,Give it up......
