Chapter 378: No One Dares to Sell
Of course, although Lu Dongzan thought so, he didn't do it, he felt that Datang was monolithic on the surface, but there were more people who could do the grain business inside, but the successive replies in the next few days made him really fall into the ice cellar.
Syllable......
Lu Dongzan slapped a subordinate in the face, this is one of his contacts in Datang, most of the things were handed over to him in the past, and he was basically able to do it very properly, but because of the food matter, this guy brought back a bad answer.
"It's useless at all, I've eaten and drunk mine all these years, and at the critical moment, let you contact the major families, either there is a problem here, or there is a problem, I have already walked out of the road, you just need to follow my path forward, you can't even do such a small thing."
Lu Dongzan said angrily, I can't wait to pull this guy down and cut him down immediately, but thinking that this person has been in Datang for many years, and all kinds of spies are under his command, if he is disposed of, it will be equivalent to breaking the thread with these tentacles, and the arrangements for all these years will be over.
"The Prime Minister forgives the sins, the Prime Minister forgives the sins......"
This guy said very scaredly, of course he knows how capable Lu Dongzan is, if it is in the territory of Datang, the power he can mobilize in his hands is not small, but the problem is that in Tubo, the whole family is in the hands of Lu Dongzan, if he is not satisfied with what he does a little, it is possible that the Qian family will ask for war at any time.
"Get out of here and talk back, and tell Prime Minister Ben honestly what those people said, especially the Cui family and the Li family."
In Lu Dongzan's plan, the Cui family and the Li family both started with grain, they will definitely not let go of this profit, although the population of Tubo is not as large as the Tang Dynasty, but if they buy grain in large quantities, this money is enough for them to spend for a while, according to Lu Dongzan's understanding, the major families are based on money, how can they let go of this good opportunity?
In fact, Lu Dongzan is right, don't look at the right state of Datang and Tubo now, even if there is a war between the two sides, if there is enough profit, the major families will not hesitate to participate, but now this situation is different, when Lu Dongzan's people have not come to the door, Li Xiang has already greeted the people of the major families, if you dare to do grain business with Tubo, then don't blame us for not being able to live with you.
At the beginning, only the Cui family knew Li Xiang's ability in food, but there was no impermeable wall in this world, and soon other major families also knew Li Xiang's ability, he could take out a large amount of food at any time, even more than the warehouses of the major families, if he hurt people with his own and suppressed you with these grains, then the grain in your warehouse could only be rotten and sprouted.
Li Xiang is not doing grain business in Datang now, it doesn't mean that he can't do it, if you listen to his shouts, then your business should continue to do it, at most he will transport grain to the army, and it will not flow to the market, but if you don't listen to his shouts, then your family's grain business will be destroyed.
The major families have fought with the imperial court in terms of food, and the imperial court has always used administrative orders to fight with the major families, although this can gain the upper hand for a while, but it will soon be found by the major families, you can't always ban it, if this is the case, it will violate the principle of the market, and it will backfire on the imperial court at that time.
Therefore, when the imperial court has any orders, the major families are all yang and yin, first abide by the orders of the imperial court, and then gather their capable people to begin to study this order of the imperial court.
But Li Xiang's way of doing things is different from that of the imperial court, he did not use the administrative resources of the imperial court, but invited the stewards of the major families to take a look, if you have more food than me, faster than my food, then you can compete with me casually, but if you don't have this ability, then it's best to keep your mouth shut, or I will let you get out of the grain market.
The major families also understand that the people take food as the sky, and they can temporarily avoid the edge in other industries and not compete with Li Xiang.
But the grain industry is completely different, this is not only related to their stable income, but also related to their status in the court, now although Li Xiang has strongly intervened, but the market around the country is still in their hands, if Li Xiang really fights against them, it is estimated that Li Xiang's loss is not much, but they will be shocked out, at that time not only the annual income will be reduced, but also in the court and the local voice will also be reduced.
So they quickly had a result, no matter what kind of promise Lu Dongzan's people had to make, they all politely rejected the envoy of the Tubo State, no matter how much money you pay, it will be the icing on the cake for us, and now our family has less money? The most important thing is not to be an enemy with Li Xiang, otherwise it will be a catastrophe, and we still have a clear discussion on which is more important.
So when this guy received the result, he felt cold all over, and he didn't know how to report to Lu Dongzan, so he stepped on the war horse and rushed back day and night.
"You mean you don't even dare to be a behemoth like the Cui family?"
The Li family in Longxi suffered a lot of losses some time ago, and now there is a gap between them and the first-class family, but the Qinghe Cui family is different, it is the largest family in the Tang Dynasty, which has lasted for hundreds of years, not to mention a small imperial grandson, even if the emperor is here, I am afraid they will dare to rebel.
"Back to the words of the Prime Minister, I met the Cui family's Cui Sanye below, he has always been managing the Cui family's affairs outside, and in the Cui family's mansion in the capital, he made it very clear to this time, even if the price is fifty Wen, he will never sell us a grain of grain."
As soon as this guy's words were finished, Lu Dongzan couldn't help it, and slammed the tea bowl in his hand, and the people around him were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything, Prime Minister, but I promised in front of Zampu, saying that we will definitely be able to get food, and now even the Cui family doesn't give food, so our food ......
