ps. Today I’ll start with nine updates, then follow up tomorrow! Please order in full! Please spread!
A group of three people left Baihua Tower.
Ji Ruxue expressed her concerns.
"Mr. Zili, you are impulsive. These people control 70% of Chang'an's economy! It is unwise to make enemies of them."
Ji Ruxue's worries are not unreasonable.
After all, he is a big boss, and Li Min is just a businessman who has just started.
Comparing strength with them is like hitting an egg against a stone!
"Ruxue, you said that when people come to bully you, do I still shrink back? If that's the case, am I still a man?"
Ji Ruxue couldn't respond to Li Min's words.
Yes, people have bullied you. Are you still afraid of trouble? That's too weak and not like a man at all.
In that case, it is better not to do it well.
Wouldn't it be nice to take the money and go back and enjoy the rest of your life?
But Li Min is not such a person.
He likes things that are challenging, especially things that ignite his fighting spirit.
"But……"
"When have I ever failed?"
Li Min left after saying a word.
Ji Ruxue ran up again.
"How will Mr. Zili deal with them?"
"What method? Let's talk about boycott first. What I am doing is something that Datang has never done before. They can't do it, and there is no boycott. Therefore, their boycott is nothing more than asking their people not to buy my things.
As for countermeasures, I will dabble in what they do, and I will do it better! Leave them cornered! Go bankrupt. "
Li Min's face was expressionless, but actually his heart was already raging.
What I have, they don't.
What they have, I can do what they don't have.
This is Li Min's confidence.
"So, what are we going to do?"
"Salt!"
Li Min only said one word.
This made De Ji Ruxue even more puzzled.
"What's good with salt?"
Firewood, rice, oil and salt are the necessities of life for three meals a day and are the most basic guarantee for people's survival.
Both are indispensable.
"You are wrong. The income from salt accounts for one-tenth of the income of the five major families. If they are unable to make salt, their vitality will be greatly damaged. One will wax and wane, the other will wax and wane. If he is weak, I will be strong."
Ji Ruxue nodded in understanding.
Finally, Li Min had to introduce the importance of salt.
Generally speaking, it is:
Speaking of the importance of salt, it is related to the lifeline of the country’s economy.
It is an important strategic material for a country.
If people don't eat salt, their limbs will be weak and unable to engage in productive labor. If soldiers don't eat salt, they will have little combat effectiveness.
If it is monopolized by salt merchants, then the salt merchants can control the national economy and even the strategic direction of the country by adjusting salt prices and salt distribution at will.
At this time, salt was still mainly privately owned, and Li Shimin did not take back the official business.
Because salt is a consumable product and needs to be purchased every once in a while, the profit is also extremely high.
Therefore, Li Min wanted to start with salt and let the aristocratic family know how powerful it was.
The so-called snake hits them within seven inches to be fatal. As long as it strangles their throat, the blow will only hurt.
Don’t go out of your way to become a blockbuster!
"It turns out that Mr. Zili thinks so much."
"Go back and buy a large amount of mineral salt!"
But as soon as this sentence came out, Ji Ruxue was puzzled and stopped him from taking action.
"Mr. Zili, that's poisonous salt. You can't sell it after you collect it! Even if you collect it, you can't. The salt mine is now controlled by the court! How we get it is still a problem."
Li Min smiled.
"Of course I have a way! Someone will send it to me when the time comes!"
Ji Ruxue really couldn't see through Li Min.
But everything can only be heard from him.
After they returned to the group, the news about his hard work against the five major families and more than a dozen businessmen spread directly.
Everyone is not optimistic that he can directly confront the five major families. After all, they are deeply rooted and have formidable financial resources, and Li Min is a rising star. What can he do?
Public opinion is also one-sided, and almost no one is optimistic about him.
I'm afraid only those who know him can think highly of him.
The news that he was going to confront the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce also reached the Li Zheng Palace.
Concubine Yang was standing next to Li Shimin.
Queen Changsun was also present.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Min'er single-handedly challenged the five great families and wanted to compete with them. Have you heard about this?"
Concubine Yang asked.
Queen Changsun was surprised.
"Mian'er really did this?"
"Yes, Queen!"
Li Shimin said lazily: "That boy is becoming more and more bold in his actions. He is also becoming more and more unrestrained!"
"Your Majesty, maybe our court can help him! It would be better to let the five great families suffer."
Queen Changsun said.
Li Shimin said: "Help? How to help? He has set up such a big trap, I can't help him!"
On this point, Li Shimin was right.
Even if he has the intention, he is powerless.
Nothing can help.
Concubine Yang, on the other hand, said, "I heard that Min'er has been purchasing mineral salt recently. Why don't we let the imperial court take the lead in selling it to him?"
Concubine Yang knew it only from Cheng Yaojin's wife.
Although he didn't know what Li Min wanted to do with the mineral salt, since he bought it, he must have a reason.
So he asked Li Shimin.
"It's nonsense, it's nonsense again. Mineral salts are inedible and will kill people! What is this kid doing? What's the use of collecting them?"
Salt has no other use than eating.
That's why Li Shimin is so popular.
"Your Majesty, maybe Min'er has his own ideas? Moreover, by selling the mineral salt, the treasury can earn a lot of money, so why not do it?"
Li Shimin could not resist the persuasion of the two women.
He had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I will naturally leave this matter to someone else. As for what happens in the end, it depends on how he handles it, but I am not optimistic about him!"
From Li Shimin's point of view, he was not optimistic about anything Li Min did, but every time, he slapped Li Shimin in the face.
And it's still very loud.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two women said in unison.
"Your Majesty, I think it is very appropriate for Wei Zheng to handle this matter!"
Concubine Yang said again.
"Oh? What do you say?"
Queen Changsun continued: "What Concubine Yang means is that he is a loyal person. If someone else does it, she won't worry!"
The two women understand each other and know what each other is thinking.
"Li Min is really blessed to have you in eight lifetimes! Hey! Everything is as you said, let Wei Zheng handle this matter!"
Li Shimin sighed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, let's talk about something else!"
The three of them chatted a lot more, about common things like putting on more clothes due to the cooler weather recently.
At the same time, Wei Zheng accepted the order and began to prepare to leave for the Shengtang Group tomorrow.
