Who plots against whom?
As soon as Li Lijin finished speaking, the people from those aristocratic families looked at her angrily, knowing that this was her real purpose. The royal family was eyeing the fine salt craftsmanship of Wang Guiyong's family.
"What's wrong, can't you buy their family's life with this? You go and convince him, I will give you three days. If you can't get Wang Guiyong's family to contribute fine salt craftsmanship in three days, then don't blame me.
I don’t have that much time to deal with you!” After Li Lijin finished speaking, she left and didn’t care about them at all.
"Hey!" Li Shimin pretended to sigh!
"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty does this, Your Majesty will leave it alone!" Wang Qixiang immediately raised his hands and said to Li Shimin.
"Wang Hao beat my daughter? I have never beaten him before. Did he beat his real daughter? Exile? Just ask him to kill her!" Li Shimin glared at Wang Qixiang.
"This!" Those people were even more surprised.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, the people of the world will find out about it and there will be criticism!" Wang Qixiang said very angrily.
"Criticism? What criticism? Everyone knows that Princess Runan has been in poor health since she was a child, and she is also my darling. Wang Hao bullies my daughter like this, can't I kill him?" Li Shimin also stared at Wang Qixiang and said, Wang Qixiang also felt at this moment
, there is no use saying anything.
"Okay, you guys, go down. I want to settle accounts with Wang Hao!" Li Shimin waved his hand, indicating that they could go back.
After the seven of them came out, they looked at each other helplessly.
"As expected, I came here looking at the fine salt. Hey, how do you think Wang Guiyong's family can produce such fine salt?" The person in charge of the Cui family in Qinghe also sighed.
"Let's go and meet Wang Guiyong's family to see if there is any other way. If the royal family really controls fine salt, our family will suffer great losses!" Wang Qixiang said helplessly. They don't know the cost and output yet.
,
But they knew that since Li Lijin knew about this fine salt and still operated like this, she must have known what was going on. Soon they arrived at the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
After arriving at the Penal Department Prison, they waited for a while before Li Lijin sent someone to notify them, and then they went to see Wang Guiyong's family, but they did not see them in the cell, but in a room.
"Young patriarch, oh, fellow patriarchs, and dear friends, thank you for coming to see our family!" Wang Guiyong went in and saw that all the heads of several aristocratic families had come over, and he was very surprised and handed over.
"Come on, brother Guiyong, sister-in-law, and Wang Hao, come on, sit down and talk!" Wang Qixiang greeted the three of them to sit down, and Wang Hao also sat down, wanting to hear what they had to say.
"A few of us just went to the palace and wanted to intercede with His Majesty to let your family go, but Princess Runan didn't agree. What did Wang Hao say that you insulted Princess Runan and even beat her? Is that true?
"Wang Qixiang looked at Wang Hao and the others and asked.
"Ah?" When Wang Hao heard that they actually asked this, he was a little confused. What did Li Lijin mean? He said such a thing!
"Hao'er, you, you beat Princess Runan?" Wang Guiyong looked at Wang Hao and asked in surprise.
"I beat her, but I didn't know she was a princess at that time. As soon as she came over, she asked me for the formula of fine salt, and she also took out a document from the Ministry of Punishments. She wanted to arrest me. Can I not beat her?" Wang Hao nodded,
He opened his mouth and said, thinking in his mind, this bitch, dig a hole for herself to jump in. No, I have to deal with her. Next time I see her, I must beat her.
"Is this really a fight?" Wang Qixiang also looked at Wang Hao in surprise and asked.
"I beat her, but when I beat her, I really didn't know her identity. I thought she was the owner of the salt shop opposite and was here to blackmail me!" Wang Hao still nodded and admitted that he had indeed beaten her.
"Here, eh, what should I do?" Wang Qixiang also felt that it was a bit tricky at the moment. If he was really beaten, it would be difficult to handle.
"Hao'er, Princess Runan represents the royal family and is obviously interested in your family's fine salt craftsmanship! Can you tell us the truth, how much does this fine salt cost and how much can it be produced in a day?" Du Ruyu looked at Wang Hao and asked.
stand up.
"Father, tell me!" Wang Hao said to his father. They might not believe what he said.
"This, we process it from coarse salt. The cost of a pound of fine salt is almost twenty-two cents. Of course, twenty cents of it is the price of coarse salt!" Wang Guiyong thought about it and said.
"What? So cheap?"
"So low?"
"Here, where's the yield, the yield!".
The heads of those aristocratic families all stood up in shock. Such a low cost was something they had never imagined in their dreams.
"In terms of output, you can produce whatever you want, you just need to add some more tools and workers!" Wang Guiyong sat there and continued.
"This, this, no, no, we can't let the royal family take it, no!" Wang Qixiang immediately stood up and said anxiously, while the other heads of the aristocratic families also nodded immediately, and then sat there thinking.
"Can you get our family out?" Wang Hao sat there and stared at them and said.
"We are still thinking of a solution now!" Wang Qixiang immediately softened his tone and said, he also knew that this technology was created by Wang Hao.
"It must be difficult. In fact, I regret coming up with this fine salt. It involves too much. I don't want to hand it over to the royal family. If it is handed over to the royal family, it will have a huge impact on our family.
The first one is that my kind of fine salt will only be available in the world from now on. Other fine salts, including coarse salt, will disappear from the market. In other words, all salt merchants will lose this piece of profit. We
The same is true for these aristocratic families! By then, the royal family will make a lot of money, but our aristocratic family will lose this piece of profit, and each family will probably lose tens of thousands of dollars!" Wang Hao sat there and sighed.
"That's right!" They all nodded.
"But now the handle is in the hands of the royal family. In fact, when I beat him, it was all an excuse. He just wanted to control our family so that he could force me to give them the craftsmanship. Now it depends on your ability. From my side
I definitely won’t be able to survive for a few days!” Wang Hao continued to say to them.
"Hey, don't worry, we will definitely find a way!" Wang Qixiang said.
"There is another way, but this method is also very dangerous. That is, we cooperate with the family, including the royal family. Of course, my family also needs a certain proportion of dividends. We all do it together. What I worry about is that when the time comes, the royal family will also
Now that we know the craftsmanship, we can be forced to retire and increase the salt tax revenue. In the future, salt will need to be government-run.
Then we will also suffer a big loss, but this is also the current mitigation plan, and I don’t know if the royal family will agree!" Wang Hao continued to talk about his thoughts, this is what Wang Hao needs, both as an affiliate and
He joined the royal family and affiliated himself with aristocratic families, so that no one would deal with him, and he could enjoy life safely in the Tang Dynasty. These profits would be enough.
"That's a way!" Wang Qixiang nodded after hearing this, and other aristocratic families also nodded. In this way, everyone's profits are guaranteed, but the small salt merchants will suffer. They are not qualified to participate, but they can sell their salt.
"This is a good idea. You can discuss it with Your Majesty!" Du Ruyu, the head of the Du family, nodded and said.
"We can talk, that's fine!" The other family heads nodded enthusiastically.
"What I'm worried about is that Princess Runan doesn't agree. I heard that her life is not long, so she dares to do anything?" Wang Hao sat there and asked them, and they sighed and nodded after hearing this.
"What should I do with our family? If you can't convince the royal family, then in order to save our family's life, I can only contribute!" Wang Hao sat there, staring at them and asked.
"Hao'er, don't worry, no one can touch you. In the afternoon, we will mobilize the officials. How can we get them to release her when we have no choice? By the way, Hao'er, did anyone see you when you beat Princess Runan?" Du Ruyu stared at it.
Wang Hao asked.
"No!" Wang Hao shook his head and said.
"That's alright, that's because he didn't fight, so why should he say whatever he says?" Du Ruyu said decisively.
"Yes, that means there was no fight, and we don't admit it!" The other people in charge also nodded.
"Hao'er, don't worry, this matter will be resolved within three days!" Wang Qixiang also confidently said to Wang Hao.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news!" Wang Hao nodded and said, and they left soon.
Wang Hao and the three of them also returned to the cell, and Wang Hao was lying there with a proud smile.
Li Lijin wants to plot against her, and she also wants to thank her and only give her 5,000 yuan. Is that possible? If she can bind the family and the royal family, then she will be safe and will not offend the family. As for offending the royal family,
Then when the time comes, there will be aristocratic families taking care of it, and I will be fine!
But when Li Lijin finds out, will she be mad to death? Thinking of this, Wang Hao is very happy, asking him to tell the public that he beat her, and also got himself such a big crime, beating the princess, the following crime?
The next morning, Wang Hao was taken out again. When he arrived at the previous room, he saw Li Lijin staring at him fiercely. He waved his hand and the jailer went out. Li Lijin rushed over and kicked Wang Hao.
Hao hid while shouting: "You're crazy. I beat me yesterday and I haven't settled the score with you yet. Are you still here?"
"You bastard, if you ruin my good deeds, I'll beat you to death!" Li Lijin cursed from behind. When Wang Hao heard this, he laughed even more happily. Li Lijin chased for a while and stopped to take a breath.
"You bastard!" Li Lijin stared at Wang Hao fiercely.
"I ruined your good deeds? Are you embarrassed? Fine salt is mine! Now that you are forcing me to take it out and contribute to everyone, how much less money will I make? You still arrest my family. I will thank you when the time comes. How can you do this?
To settle accounts, why?" Wang Hao stood there and looked at Li Lijin proudly.
