After the night banquet, the former quietness was restored to the Goguryeo court.

However, undercurrents were surging under the court, and all forces fought against each other, all wanting to gain more benefits from the Tang Dynasty's merchant group. Wudubushi spared no effort to win over it.

If this matter had been happened a few years ago when Izumi Gasuwen was still alive, there would have been no such chaos as the current situation. As the eastern mattress, Gisumi Gasuwen's power was definitely the best in Goguryeo at that time, and even Gao Jianwu was not an opponent.

But now it’s different. Quan Gai Suwen fell into Li Er’s hands in order to avenge his revenge. His son Quan Man Jian and others were not very successful, and they almost completely lost their former prestige.

However, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Quan Gai Suwen is missing, before he is sure of his life or death, the other mattresses still dare not over-oppress the Quan clan. It is precisely because of this that the spearheads of the several forces are directed at Gao Jianwu.

Gao Jianwu also learned that Quan Gai Suwen had been controlled by Li Shimin, so he dared to win over all forces in the Tang Dynasty, intending to take advantage of the situation to suppress the other films and consolidate his position.

In other words, Goguryeo seems calm at the moment, but in fact it has begun to become stormy. If you are not careful, it is likely to cause war.

On this day, Gao Jianwu met with the main leaders of several major families in the Tang Dynasty recommended by Pei Xingjian in his study.

After the guest and host took the seat, Gao Jianwu asked while asking for tea: "Several gentlemen, do you still have the habit of living in the city these days?"

"Your Majesty's blessing is quite a habit." Several old foxes looked at each other and answered in unison.

Gao Jianwu knew that there must be something wrong with the people who came to him, so he took the initiative to raise the verb: "Then, I wonder if there is anything else I need to help me?"

"Oh, that's it." The housekeeper in Li Xiaogong's mansion said with a smile: "We are here mainly to discuss the ownership of several mines with His Majesty."

"Access?" Gao Jianwu was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by gentlemen?"

"We hope to obtain fifty years of mining rights for iron ore, black stone ore, and copper ore." The Lu family talker said bluntly.

"What! This is impossible." Gao Jianwu's face changed suddenly and he slapped the table.

Whether it is iron ore, black stone or copper ore, it is something that no country can let go. If the mining rights are really completely released, Gao Jianwu believes that the other party will not leave anything for him in fifty years.

But since several major families dared to come and talk about this matter, they would not be unprepared. Seeing that he was angry, they just looked at each other and didn't take it much in mind.

The representative of the Cui family smiled indifferently and said, "Your Majesty, don't be too busy refusing. In fact, before we came here, the other Masters of the other works of Master Sa had agreed to our conditions, but we felt that if we didn't tell His Majesty, we were sorry for the master here."

Gao Jianwu narrowed his eyes, as if he had complaints to say, but in the end he still held back.

After a long time, he said word by word: "You are threatening me."

"No, Your Majesty misunderstood. We are just discussing it. You also know that there is nothing we can do about merchants seeking profits. If the news comes back to the family and says that we don't do our best, we are afraid that we will be punished more seriously at that time." Zheng's representative explained.

But his explanation is no different from not explaining. The central idea is that I am just like this. Either give benefits or we will help others. You can do whatever you want to do if you want the country or money.

Gao Jianwu took two deep breaths to suppress the evil fire in his heart, turned to look at Pei Xingjian and said, "Mr. Pei, what do you mean?"

Pei Xingjian recommended 625: "Your Majesty, the young student is just recommending it."

Recommended? You are the one who is going to take advantage of the situation. Even if you kill Gao Jianwu, you don’t believe that Pei Xingjian has no collusion with these people.

But even so, what can I do? He asked Pei Xingjian for help before, but now it is too late to regret it.

But then again, this seems to be good. If the fifty-year mining rights were handed over to these major families, they could at least share some pressure and lead to the dissatisfaction of several mattresses on the Tang people.

Gao Jianwu didn't seem to have really lost anything. At worst, he could wait until the domestic situation stabilizes in the future and then take back the mines after all the mattresses fell. I believe that the whole country will be united by then. Even if these Tang families are not satisfied, there will be no good idea.

Thinking of this, Gao Jianwu's mentality improved a lot and said with a tweet, "Actually, I understand the ideas of the gentlemen. Forget it, fifty years is only fifty years, but I am ugly. If you want to start a mine, you must hire staff in my Goguryeo, and treat them equally and not owed wages."

Seeing that Gao Jianwu had compromised, several old men said in unison: "Don't worry, your Majesty, the five surnames and Qi Wang are still disdainful to do the owed wages."

Gao Jianwu looked at the "ugly" faces of the people in front of him and was angry and turned himself in a hurry, and openly expelled him: "Since that's the case, I will hand over the next thing to Kim Seung-woo. If you have any needs, you can negotiate with him."

"In this way, we will leave!"

Since the purpose has been achieved, the old guys will naturally not continue to see Gao Jianwu's face. They bowed one by one and left the imperial study room, and then looked at each other and smiled after they came out.

Fifty years of mining rights are all money. Take these mines in advance. Even if the Tang Dynasty really comes here, no one will snatch these things that belong to them.

Not long after the five surnames and Qi Wang people left the palace, the other mattresses also received news. After knowing that Gao Jianwu had agreed to the conditions, they were all so angry that they scolded the traitors.

But no matter how much they scolded, they knew that Gao Jianwu did have this power. After all, he was the orthodox Goguryeo. The five surnames and Seven Honours of the Tang Dynasty would only sign a contract with their mattresses unless they were crazy.

But he was so unwilling to accept that with the support of the five surnames and Qi Wangs, Gao Jianwu found a strong backer. If he wanted to move, he had to consider the meaning of the Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately, although the aristocratic family belonged to Gao Jianwu, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty were waiting and watching. It would be great if they could win their support. Everyone has their own backgrounds and no one can defeat anyone.

With this idea, the actions of the spokespersons of several mattresses became more and more obvious. They began to win over all kinds of beauties and jewelry with great enthusiasm, and they all wanted to establish a good relationship with the spokespersons of the nobles in the court.
