Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

Some were happy, some were sad.

Those family heads who did not suffer much loss in the alliance to buy snowflake salt left the palace happily with the salt mining rights transfer agreement with the emperor's seal.

Outside the palace, several other family heads who benefited invited each other to the Leshan Restaurant to celebrate.

Now, they can participate in the salt business openly, and they can see the profit clearly.

In stark contrast, the Cui and Wang families looked at the piece of paper they bought with more than 1 million strings of cash, and their faces were indescribably gloomy.

…

Wang's mansion.

"Bang!"

The sound of a teacup falling to the ground was heard.

Wang Zhen picked up the teacup in his hand and smashed it hard.

"Li Er, good trick! This time, my Wang family lost the contest, the salt mine, the salt business, and the 50 to 60 million kilograms of salt."

Wang Zhen said with a hideous face.

Then, he picked up the two pieces of paper again, frowned and thought.

"Who is the person behind this snowflake salt? Li Er doesn't have such ability. If he had, he would have taken it out long ago."

Wang Zhen narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.

Thinking of the more than 50 million kilograms of snowflake salt, he hit the coffee table with a heavy hammer and shouted:

"Butler!"

Old Butler Wang ran in immediately.

"Master!"

The butler didn't dare to breathe. To be honest, he also contributed to this matter.

Wang Zhen was also very angry when he looked at him.

"I think you are old and confused. You are desperately transporting the family's money out. You old thing, can't you slow down and think about it?"

The butler shuddered all over and thought to himself: Who the hell said that if you want money, just go to the account office to get it, and don't leave any salt behind!

"Master, I am confused, I am confused."

Of course, the butler didn't dare to say what he thought in his heart, so he could only admit that he was unlucky and apologize quickly.

"Hmph! Have someone transport the snowflake salt to various states in Jiangnan Road. First arrange for our own people to sell it, and then cooperate with local merchants and noble families to sell it."

"Also, ask Ghost to come to the mansion."

Each noble family secretly keeps a group of deadpools and people responsible for spying on various intelligence.

This ghost is the intelligence personnel trained by the Wang family. There are more than 50 members who are good at finding out various intelligence and contacting the outside world.

These people are indeed like ghosts. They are all over Chang'an. No one knows who they are. They all have cover identities.

"Yes, sir, I will do it right away!"

The housekeeper wiped his sweat and quickly left the living room.

Not long after, a man in tight clothes with a vague face appeared in the living room of the Wang family.

"Master!"

This man seemed not good at dealing with people. When he saw Wang Zhen, he also called him master.

Wang Zhen nodded and hummed.

"Youyi, I want you to check one thing. Where does the method of refining snowflake salt come from? No clues can be missed."

"Can you do it?"

The man named Youyi did not make any physical movements, but replied: "Youyi will try his best."

Then, Youyi turned and left the Wang family hall.

"I can't touch Li Er for the time being, but I will not let go of the person who provided the fine salt."

"If you dare to touch my Wang family's things, you will pay with your life!"

"Li Er, don't be complacent. When refugees pour into Chang'an, I will not sell the grain cheaply even if I pour it into the Wei River."

"Let those people eat snowflake salt."

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"Butler!"

"Butler, where did you die?"

"Increase the price of books for me tenfold!"

At this time, Wang Zhen has fallen into a state of madness.

...

Cui family.

Cui Bo looks much calmer than Wang Zhen.

"Has Cui Geng received any news?" Cui Bo asked calmly. "My Lord, Minister Cui sent a message to the palace. Recently, the court has not rewarded or given any title to anyone." Do you think Cui Bo is really calmer than Wang Zhen? The Cui family suffered the greatest loss this time. Originally, his family's salt business was the only one in the family, and it also owned the most salt mines. How could he bear this? He even heard that the elders of the family had opinions about him, and he might be removed from the position of patriarch. There are many people eyeing the position of patriarch, even his brothers. Therefore, he had already made arrangements before entering the palace today. He also arranged for the family's captive spy to investigate the earliest source of the snowflake salt. Moreover, he guessed that if this person handed over the method of refining snowflake salt to Li Shimin, Li Shimin would definitely reward him. Therefore, he sent people to contact the family officials in the court, but there was no news in this regard. Cui Bo is even more ruthless than Wang Zhen. Once he finds out who gave Li Shimin the method of refining snowflake salt, he will directly send Deadpool to kill him..

After thinking for a while, thinking of the 60 million kilograms of snowflake salt still lying in the cellar, his hatred for the person who provided the refining method increased a little.

"Arrange the Henan Road branch to set up salt sales points in various prefectures, and for others, authorize local prestigious merchant families."

"In addition... adjust the prices of books and cloth up."

The Cui family suffered such a big loss, how long will it take to sell snowflake salt to make it back?

I don't know how many times I have cursed Li Shimin and Su Chen in my heart.

I even regretted why I raised the salt price so high by 650 coins.

Otherwise, I wouldn't spend 500 coins a bucket to buy this snowflake salt.

Refined salt is usually only 180 coins a bucket, almost three times more!

This business is...

...

In a private room on the third floor of Leshan Restaurant, the atmosphere is harmonious.

"Everyone, let's raise our glasses together!"

"Come on! Cheers!"

Eight people sat in the private room, including the Longxi Li family, the Zhaojun Li family, the Xingyang Zheng family, the Qinghe Cui family, and several other clan leaders or heads of families.

It can be said that except for the Taiyuan Wang family, the Boling Cui family, and the Fanyang Lu family, all other prestigious families are here.

"Although everyone has suffered some losses this time, compared with this long-term salt business, it is insignificant."

Zheng Guang of the Xingyang Zheng family said with emotion.

"Brother Zheng, what you said is very true. Everyone here has only lost more than 400,000 strings of cash, which is not worth mentioning compared to them."

"I didn't expect that the two families wanted to drag us into the game in the end!"

Li Shanhuai of the Longxi Li family also said after realizing it.

"However, everyone, this incident also shows that His Majesty will not kill all of our family."

"If not, the royal family can make snowflake salt by themselves this time, why let everyone participate?"

"I think everyone here should just run the family business in the future, and don't think too much about other things."

The one who said this was Pei Qianxi of Shandong Pei family.

Everyone present listened to Pei Qianxi's words and thought about it.

Yes, the actions of the Cui and Wang families this time were too chilling for them.

When they first bought snowflake salt, these people came to them to beg them, hoping that they could also buy some snowflake salt and make some profit from selling it.

Everyone remembers the faces of the Cui and Wang families clearly.

In the end, they found that it was a pit, and they dragged everyone to fill it together.

Zheng Guang looked at the wine on the table, then turned his head to look at the chairs and coffee table in the living room, thinking.

"I wonder if you have noticed that many new objects that have never appeared before have appeared recently?"

"For example, this round table, chairs, Zhenguan plow, wine, tea, and snowflake salt."

Zheng Guang thought for a while, and then continued:

"Everyone, tell me, could this be done by the same person?"

"In fact, I feel that there are things we don't know."

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this. If it was really done by one person.

Then this person is too scary!
