Chapter 287: For the Country or for Yourself?
In fact, even if Li Xiang doesn't speak, Cui Sanye and Cui Yuncheng have made up their minds, they have to find a place to take care of Cui Yunzhu, at least they can't let it out in the past few days, this guy doesn't have a door, and the relationship with his father-in-law's family is too good, so if Li Xiang wants to look at this guy, it will save the two of them.
"Second Uncle...... Yuncheng ......"
Cui Yunzhu still wanted to follow, but helplessly two black-armored warriors stood in front of him, this guy is usually not low in martial arts, but the pressure brought to him by these two black-armored warriors made him immediately know that he was not someone's opponent.
"Since Lord Cui is here, just stay here for a few more days, don't look at me as a grange here, but the master room over there is built luxuriously, whether it is food and drink, or even a girl in heaven and earth, I can find it for Lord Cui, just take it as a relaxing moment these days, and take a leave of absence for the yamen."
Li Xiang said with a smile, even the people in your family agreed, could it be that you can still go out of the sky? What's more, the Grange is heavily guarded, and there are some slaves and prisoners of war inside, and the precaution is for them to escape, these people have an escape plan every month, but so far no one has been able to escape, can you be more powerful than them?
"That being the case, please disturb His Royal Highness the Grand Sun."
Cui Yunzhu has also been in the officialdom for so many years, and seeing that it is impossible for him to change all this, he can only stay honest.
In fact, he stayed in this place, and he also had an explanation for his wife, if he didn't stay here, the husband and wife would probably turn against each other in the future, and now he only said that His Royal Highness Taisun had detained himself, and when the time came, his wife would be held accountable, could he still go to the East Palace to find Li Xiang?
"We're all friends, is that still a thing? You all listen to me, take good care of Lord Cui in the past two days, if Lord Cui loses a hair, I will give you all eight pieces when I turn around, no matter what kind of requirements Lord Cui has, those who can meet must be satisfied, and those who cannot be satisfied must be satisfied......"
Li Xiang explained to these people under his hands, these people listened honestly, if Cui Yunzhu heard these words normally, maybe he would be happy in his heart, but now the smile on his face is ugly than crying.
After this matter was settled, Li Xiang's mood was also very good, but on the way back, Li Xiang had been thinking about a problem, according to the original plan to crack down on the price of salt, let the price of salt fall, then the major families will be damaged.
This is nothing in itself, this is also a plan made before, but now Li Xiang's heart doesn't know what he is thinking, and his eyes drift over the imperial city in the north intentionally or unintentionally.
Is it listening to the emperor? Or do you want to do it for your own benefit?
If you listen to the emperor, then this matter is relatively simple, directly bring the Cui family's salt over, and then arrange a large number of shipments of refined salt, the cost of salt production for each family is there, Li Xiang's salt quality is much better than theirs, then they can only lower than Li Xiang's price.
Of course, we must learn a lesson this time, we can't go public so easily, and we should create public opinion across the country, so that most people know the price of our salt.
There is better salt, and the price is lower, and the salt in the hands of the major families will definitely not be sold.
This also forces them to reduce the price, and even make ends meet, in the salt auction, they have invested a lot of money, and now they can't even come back, and the emperor hit them to seven inches.
If the emperor and himself are a family, then this move is nothing, we have to do it, but the emperor is often looking for trouble for us now, so that we are a little at a loss, just take this imperial grandson as an example, it is still won by ourselves.
Li Xiang also had another idea in his heart, that is, to discuss with the major families, let them take out a large part of the assets, and treat the matter of salt as if it had never happened, what should you do, although this knife is a bit ruthless, but at least it will not let them be wiped out.
There are major families restraining Li Shimin, so Li Shimin will not look for trouble on us, and he will have to have a certain amount of energy to stare at the major families, but if the major families can't raise their heads, Li Shimin's eyes may be on our heads.
Throughout the history of the Zhenguan period, at the beginning, it was Li Chengqian and Li Taidou, and then Li Tai and Li Kedou, if there was no Li Shimin's promotion, the brothers might not have been like this.
"Your Highness, the carriage of the eldest lady."
Li Xiang was about to think about the problem when he suddenly heard the report from his subordinates, which turned out to be his cousin's carriage.
The eldest grandson Huanting gave him a lot of help in the early days of Li Xiang's business, and has always been very concerned about Li Xiang, so Li Xiang has to give the necessary respect, even if he is now the imperial grandson of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Xiang still honestly bent down and dismounted, and then gave the eldest grandson Huanting a salute.
"This is a sweat to run somewhere, when I get to the car, I will also go to the East Palace......"
While speaking, the eldest grandson Huanting took out her own brocade handkerchief, and then wiped Li Xiang's sweat, she was really a qualified aunt.
Speaking of the fate of the eldest grandson, the eldest lady is really bumpy, it is said that her father is also the eldest grandson of the Qing Dynasty and the opposition, and this mother-in-law's family should also be a first-class family, but unfortunately she has just made a marriage, and her husband has already gone to the west, so he can only withdraw from his family.
I am the eldest lady of the eldest grandson's family, but because of this incident, no one in Chang'an City's dignitaries came to ask for marriage, and the eldest grandson Wuji was not willing to arrange a small bureaucrat for his daughter casually, so this matter was delayed.
"My aunt went to the East Palace to find me?"
Usually the eldest grandson Huanting does not go to the East Palace, mainly because she and Li Chengqian do not talk speculatively for more than half a sentence, although the two are cousins who grew up together, but the way they do things is completely different, so the personal relationship is not good.
"Naturally, I went to look for you, I heard that you didn't do very well in the matter of salt, I'm afraid that you are upset, and I am going to find an opportunity to take you to see Miss Cheng."
After the eldest grandson Huanting heard about the affairs of the major families, she was worried that Li Xiang would not be able to pass this hurdle, after all, the young man was young and vigorous, and it had been arranged for so long, if he was put on a show by the major families, Li Xiang's mood would inevitably be hurt, so he wanted to take this opportunity to take Li Xiang to take a walk outside the city, and then have a chance encounter with Cheng Luan.
