"The food is a little simple, and Lord Zhang makes do with it."

The three of them eat nine dishes and one soup, which is not very simple in the eyes of ordinary people, but compared to the identities of Li Xiang and Xiao Yu, this is indeed a bit simple.

"The lower officials don't dare."

Lord Zhang just ate something casually, but no matter what he ate at the moment, it tasted like chewing wax, when this guy was in power in the past, every meal had to be more than twenty dishes, only if people outside could eat for me, it was not his responsibility, as long as he could eat happily.

"Then let's talk while eating, Master Zhang will introduce us to the four major toasts on the mountain, and it is best to be specific."

Two glasses of wine, it's time to get down to business, Zhang Jiuli shook his head, let himself be a little sober, don't miss anything when you talk later, although you have no way to solve these toast masters, but if the news provided makes Li Xiang's head light up, it will be equivalent to our meritorious service.

The first big toast on the mountain is Longchuan Toast, that is, Zhang Jiuli's sons and daughters, and now the two daughters are still in the mountains, as for whether it is safe, it is really hard to say, after all, the things under the mountain are very likely to be passed on, although we have done it very closely, but there is no guarantee that all the loopholes can be plugged.

The toast masters have been operating here for generations, and they have not been in business for a generation, so whether there are any hidden spies in Chengdu City, I'm afraid it's hard to say, and Li Xiang has known the news from the north for a long time, plus now that the news has been cut off from Chengdu, even if there are no words to spread out, they should guess the ugliness just by relying on their heads......

Longchuan Tusi has the largest land area and the largest number of soldiers under his command, with a total population of more than 300,000 and more than 40,000 troops.

In second place is Adu Tusi, who has just succeeded to the throne and is not very old, but the strength under his hands is not a joke, with a total population of 250,000 and an army of more than 30,000.

According to the rules of the mountain, when the major toasts need to buy salt, they must first buy Shama toast, and then buy those Han people, which is also considered to be fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

When he heard this, Li Xiang's eyes lit up, this must be the first point we can use, the land of Shama Tusi is not very good, salt can be said to be a very important economic source, if it can be broken, then it will be solved first.

The fourth place is Longquan Tusi, to put it bluntly, there is spring water in the territory, but the strength is the smallest of the four major toasts, with only more than 20,000 troops smaller than Shama Toast.

Through Zhang Jiuli's brief introduction, two lines appeared in Li Xiang's mind, one line is naturally the salt well, others may not have a lot of salt, but Li Xiang has more here, and the character is much higher than there, if we distribute a large number of goods to the mountains, then Shama Toast is afraid to cry and faint in the salt well.

The second line is Adu Toast, this guy has just become a toast, he is still a young man, and his head must be more cost-effective than others, maybe this is also where we can open up the situation, once there is a person who can belong to it, other toasts are useless at all.

Xiao Yu listened very carefully next to him, about the matter of salt, Xiao Yu's psychology and Li Xiang are the same thoughts, as long as this kind of goods is hit by the market, then other salt merchants have no way to live, we only need to be cheaper than the other party, the market will give the right choice, now most of the time in Datang is in the hands of Li Xiang, and others can only be a wholesaler from Li Xiang.

Although the mountain is different from the mountain, but it is generally the same, everyone wants to buy cheaper and better goods, even if we have a covenant at the original time, but as long as there is a profit, then there will naturally be people who sell smuggled salt, and when there are more and more people selling smuggled salt, I am afraid that the salt on the mountain will not be sold at all.

After Li Xiang said his thoughts, he asked Zhang Jiuli to think about it and see if anyone could become our partner, after all, we have no foundation at all in the mountain, if you want to take down the toast master with a soft knife, you have to find someone from the inside, and the outer fortress is too strong.

"My second son-in-law ......"

Zhang Jiuli instantly thought of a person, he married his two daughters to the two sons of Longchuan Tusi, but Longchuan Tusi didn't like the Han people, and it was a last resort to find two daughters-in-law for himself, the daughter-in-law of the old family went up the mountain is a bowl of safflower to pour down, don't want to have children in the future, this is equivalent to the boss of Zhang Jiuli's family, and there will not even be a child in the future, what is a childless woman like in this kind of feudal society, you can imagine it with your toes.

But the second child is different, the second son of Longchuan Toast does not need to inherit the position of Toast, he usually just needs to have a good time, and this guy can walk cats and dogs, and the usual expenses are naturally larger.

In the past, he used to do business with people, even if it was a trade that damaged the toast on the mountain, everyone would not care about him when they saw his father's face, of course, he was also very measured, and would not do something to make the two toasts fight.

"You said it yourself, he is a very measured person, let's let another toast go bankrupt this time, can you be sure that he will listen to you in this matter?"

Xiao Yu said disdainfully, many people say that Wang Gongzi has no brains, and he eats every day except for playing, but that is all nonsense from the lower class people, as long as he stays in Chang'an City for a while, which prince has no brains, if he has no brains, he would have died a long time ago, do you still need to wait until now?

"Your old man listens to me, this kid doesn't seem to have the courage on the surface, he is holding back himself, but in fact, this courage is not small, but this has to be done with the cooperation of His Royal Highness, he is the second in the family, and he has no power to inherit the toast, but His Royal Highness can let him have this right, so he is moved by emotion and reason......

Zhang Jiuli said quietly, Li Xiang snorted coldly beside him, you guy is really good at planning for your son-in-law, and this is also for yourself, if your son-in-law really helps the court take down the toast, it will not be good to kill you when the time comes.
