Zhang Yang took out a small jar and handed it to him, "There is a business that I want His Royal Highness King Wei to do." ”

Li Tai opened the small jar and looked at the white sugar in it, "Sugar? ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "His Royal Highness King Wei knows how much this jar of white sugar is worth?" ”

Li Tai tasted the taste of white sugar: "It's always money?" ”

This is a very conservative price, and Li Tai even said that it is higher.

"No, the value of this thing is floating, not that it is ten cents, and it can always be bought with money."

Li Tai looked at the white sugar in the jar and knew that this thing was made by his brother-in-law, although the cost was very high, ten catties of brown sugar could only make three or two catties of white sugar.

Seeing that Xiao Wu and his daughter-in-law were roasting chicken, Zhang Yang said patiently: "His Royal Highness King Wei still remembers the process of buying soap at the beginning?" ”

"Of course I do."

"At that time, His Royal Highness King Wei also said that he wanted to continue to do this kind of profitable business."

After being stunned for a long time, Li Tai put down the jar of sugar, "I thought so at first, but I knew that this kind of business could not be done for a long time, and it was only for half a year and a few months. ”

"What if I control the amount of sugar I have?"

Because now white sugar is only available in the hands of my brother-in-law, and there is no trace of white sugar on the market at all.

If sugar is not produced in large quantities like soap, it can indeed make a lot of money, and the use of white sugar is not like soap.

White sugar will only be used less and less, and it is even related to the amount of each person.

Li Tai was entangled, "What is my brother-in-law going to do?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled clearly, "Strange goods can live, I hope that the entire white sugar will become something that the gate valve family is eager for, so that they are willing to spend a lot of silver money to buy white sugar, and with this, His Royal Highness the King of Wei can raise the price of this thing again." ”

There is still innocence and kindness in his heart, Li Tai's eyes are hesitant and wavering, this is a very bad road.

"The king's conscience will condemn it."

Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder, "His Royal Highness King Wei is right, our conscience will be condemned for doing some bad things, so I will let the people in Chu Mo's hands do a good job of investigating the family, and the money in the hands of those gate valve families must be clean?" ”

"This king has indeed heard that they have done a lot of bad things."

"For us, conscience is the foundation of our lives, but for them, without conscience, they can make more money, besides, ......" The words paused, Zhang Yang whispered to him: "Your father is also involved in this matter." ”

Li Tai slowly looked up at his brother-in-law.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, there are too many bad people in this world, let these bad people go bankrupt, and it is also a good thing for us to rob the rich and help the poor, and help the poor."

Holding his forehead in pain, it is not difficult to do this kind of business, and he used this method to sell soap in the first place, but it was only in Chang'an City, and the scale was also very small.

The current white sugar is to be sold to the Central Plains Gate Valve, which is not a trivial matter, this is a bigger game, and white sugar is a knife.

Li Tai listened to his brother-in-law's whispers, these words were like a demon whispering, and he was pulling himself down the abyss step by step.

"Neither my brother-in-law nor my father are good people." Li Tai drew circles on the ground aggrievedly, "I want to be a good person." ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei, are there any good people in this Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Yes! That's me. ”

"I will use the white sugar as the silver money for the direct exchange of goods at the gate, let them know that the white sugar is worth the silver, and let them use more silver and gold to repay our white sugar."

"Brother-in-law, you're crazy, and so is your father." Li Tai grabbed his scalp and pulled his hair again, "Brother-in-law, don't force me, I really don't want to do this kind of thing, I'm not an adult yet, I'm only fourteen years old, and I haven't started a family yet." ”

Seeing Li Tai's painful appearance, Zhang Yang whispered to him again: "Your father is short of money, and your father is not determined to wave a butcher's knife at the family, but King Wei knows very well in his heart that the gate valve uses his own power to hide wealth and control a state capital, which not only endangers the future, but also the existence of the poisonous side, and we should always stand on the side of the masses." ”

Seeing that Li Tai was still in pain, Zhang Yang shook the fan in his hand, "If His Royal Highness King Wei doesn't want to do this deal, I won't force it, I can find someone else to do it, such as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Hearing this, Li Tai quickly picked up the jar of white sugar on the ground, "You can't find the prince." ”

"If His Royal Highness the King of Wei doesn't agree, then the only candidate I have left is the crown prince, maybe the prince is more willing to do this kind of profitable business."

Li Tai first screamed in pain, grabbing his hair in a daze, "You are all bad people, all bad people, none of them are good people!" ”

Seeing that he was about to collapse, Zhang Yang smiled: "When this matter is done, you can hide it as much as possible, find more places to cooperate silently, and have previous experience as the basis, I think it will be very convenient for His Royal Highness King Wei, I still have to do that sentence to conceal, so that others don't know that it is King Wei and Lishan who are controlling the sugar." ”

"I haven't said yes yet!"

"Then has His Royal Highness King Wei thought about it?"

Li Tai took the jar of sugar and walked away step by step, and taking the sugar was the best response.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, don't you eat this chicken?"

"No more!"

"You must remember to sell to specific people, investigate clearly before you can sell it, and don't sell to people who shouldn't be selling."

Li Tai spoke loudly in a frenzy, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, this matter will be done." ”

Li Yue had been listening to the conversation between the two, "Isn't it inappropriate to leave this matter to Qingque?" ”

Zhang Yang turned the chicken over and continued to grill it, "Don't look at his young age now, he can mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources, and he can also ask for information from Chu Mo, the platform and manpower are ready for him, it depends on when to start." ”

The conspiracy of the husband is not difficult to understand, so that those gate valve families feel that white sugar is a good value of goods, and it is really regarded as barter, something comparable to silver.

People's desires are endless, and let these indulge in the sweet dream of wealth shrouded in white sugar.

It's a huge scam and a weapon to harvest wealth.

It is very simple to want them to go bankrupt, as long as they are allowed to hoard enough sugar, and Lishan will make enough sugar, and after countless white sugar gushes out, these people who hoard white sugar will go bankrupt in an instant

This strategy is very powerful, and it can accumulate a lot of wealth in a short period of time.

White sugar is something that has never appeared in the world before, and this form of operation makes it easy for these inexperienced people to be fooled.

Tubo is a fat sheep, for the husband, those families with backward economic strategies are also a fat sheep, this kind of money-first play, the husband can play these families bankrupt.

Li Yue stepped forward and whispered, "Are you ripe?" ”

Zhang Yang carefully smeared the sauce, and it was almost over.

In May of that year, the weather was very hot, and summer came early, Zhang Yang wrote a piece of music for the DPRK and China to prepare for drought and flood and submitted it to Zhongshu Province.

When he walked out of the imperial city, Zhang Yang saw Li Chengqian leaving in a hurry with a group of officials.

It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also working hard.

When Zhang Yang came, Xu Jingzong stepped forward, "The military report sent yesterday said that the Tubo army was defeated and retreated, and General Su Dingfang, General Li Daoyan and General Niu Jinda joined forces to drive Songtsen Gampo's army to the area of the Sugan River. ”

After the Tibetans lost their geographical advantages, the Tang army's experience in the art of war and fighting was overwhelming for the Tibetans.

In the past, the soldiers who were able to fight on the plains and mountains also adapted very quickly on the plateau.

Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "Now Songtsen Gampo is still resisting, but recently there is another news from the Western Regions. ”

"What's the news?"

Following the footsteps, Xu Jingzong continued, "The news was sent by the people of the Western Regions, saying that General Su Dingfang killed a big cannibal on the way to Tibet, and this big cannibal was a member of the royal family of Muhammad. ”

The footsteps stopped slightly, and Zhang Yang was surprised: "Is there such a thing?" Aren't they west of Persia? ”

Xu Jingzong nodded and said: "I also asked the prince of Persia, saying that now that Persia is at war with the Great Eclipse, it is not surprising that there will be a great cannibal in the Western Regions, and it is said that Muhammad is known as a prophet in the Great Eclipse." ”

While talking and continuing to walk, Xu Jingzong frowned, "Xia Guan has been thinking about whether to send troops to aid Persia recently, once the big cannibals defeat Persia and cross Persia and approach Tibet, will they also come to attack the Western Regions, and they are still on the way to the east, but I have heard from the people of the Western Regions that Muhammad is indeed dead." ”

Zhang Yang looked at the vegetable stalls on the streets of Dongshi and admonished: "The big cannibals may not come to attack the Central Plains, and they are separated by the desert, even if they come, they don't have to be afraid of them, they are just a group of barbarians who like to use brute force." ”

Zhang Yang bought some celery and some pork, "If you are really worried about the big food, you can continue to let people inquire about the news, and even send someone to Persia." ”

The footsteps stopped again, Zhang Yang carried the vegetable basket and frowned, "There is one more thing." ”

"Zhang Shangshu, please speak."

"At the beginning of the year, I said that the construction of the Anxi Protectorate and the renovation of the four towns of Anxi will be carried out, and the officials who will be sent to the Western Regions are ready?"

Xu Jingzong replied: "I have selected four officials from Honglu Temple, and they have already gone to the Western Regions, and the military department has arranged for six hundred soldiers to go together, and they will be able to arrive in Gaochang by mid-June." ”

"Lao Xu, I don't have much experience as an official, let alone deal with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and the position of the Ministry of Rites will be given to you after all."

"Zhang Shangshu was when he was young, why did he say this."

Zhang Yang said helplessly: "You see that I have only been an official for a few years? ”

"It's been three years since the Ministry of Rites began."

"How much experience do you think you can have in Datang for three years?" Zhang Yang said to him earnestly: "They are right, I am a country boy, I don't know how to use people and I don't know how to deal with official business, this matter has to be handed over to you to worry a lot, don't look at me I usually don't come to the Ministry of Rites and just ask about the Ministry of Rites, in fact, I really have nothing to ask." ”

"Well, you are all very good and hard-working, and I served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for a while, in fact, I didn't want to learn from you and make progress with you, but after thinking about it, I always feel that I am not this material."

Listening to Zhang Shangshu's heartfelt words, Xu Jingzong's expression became a little more serious.

"Lao Xu, I will rely on you a lot in the future, I will work hard for you."

Xu Jingzong snorted, as if he had worked hard to support the Ministry of Rites in the past two years, and it turned out that Zhang Shangshu also had his own difficulties, "The next official will live up to Zhang Shangshu's trust." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Go ahead, do things well, the merit of the society is on you, for the future, and for the prosperity of Datang." ”

】

"The lower official will leave first."

"Walk slowly."

Seeing that he finally turned around and walked into the crowd step by step, Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect my brother-in-law to know how to use people."

Li Tai, the little fat man, didn't know where to come out of nowhere, and he was frightened.

"I don't say that, how can I move him so much that he willingly returns to the Foreign Academy."

"I see, is it all hypocrisy?"

"How is His Royal Highness King Wei arranging our affairs?"

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, it's all arranged."

"It's good to arrange it, His Royal Highness King Wei thinks it will be effective for a long time."

Li Taisi said: "Within three months, they will know that the white sugar is not only owned by the father, and if they still need some white sugar, I will ask people to raise the price, find a suitable person to sell to him, and he will boast about the value of this white sugar, let people buy it at a higher price." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Wei, you have increased your business experience again, although this experience is not good." ”

Li Tai's brother-in-law is fat and not tall, but when he boldly buys a whole leg of mutton, the posture he pays will make people look up to him.

It is necessary to buy as soon as possible in Chang'an City, for example, at this time, all the high-quality and inexpensive things in the East Market have been bought.

There was still a shortage of salt at home, so Li Tai paid for a pot of salt and went home.

The family would definitely not be able to eat such a large leg of mutton, and in Li Tai's words, the uneaten ones could be distributed to his guards, and there would be no waste of food.

At home, every time the bear sees Li Tai enter the house, it will walk back and forth vigilantly.

Li Yue was carefully washing the meat and vegetables, and Xiao Wu was helping to change the water on the side.

Originally, the food at home was also very simple, because Li Tai's arm now had a big roast leg of lamb at home.

After lunch, Xiao Wu went on to do the questions.

Li Tai recounted the current situation on the grassland.

Li Yue held the ledger in his hand, "That means that the Turks are very satisfied with the ranch management now?" ”

Li Tai nodded and said, "There are already other grassland herders who want to inquire if they can sell their pastures to us as well, and the price is the same as what was negotiated." ”

Zhang Yang drank tea, "The price should be lower than before, not too low, and we should increase our offensive when we have an advantage." ”

Li Yue nodded, "According to the silver money we can use now, we can still spend about eight thousand yuan." ”

"Sister Huang, brother-in-law, don't worry, I'll arrange it." Li Tai drank the tea in one go, "The wool will also arrive in a few days, and it will be placed in the warehouse of Lishan at that time, waiting for my brother-in-law to dispose of it." ”
