Of course, Changsun Wuji didn't know that there were thousands of coins that he had contributed, otherwise he would probably go crazy.
"By the way, you don't need to buy too much food first. It's enough for two or three days..."
Wang Zi'an thought for a while and gave a friendly reminder. They can't be ruthless and even trick themselves. Now they have to use their own money to buy high-priced grains.
When this topic was brought up, Kong Yingda suddenly became worried and twirled his sparse goatee vigorously, with a posture that made him want to twirling grain out of his beard.
"Isn't this bad? Now that the roads are blocked by heavy snow, the price of food in Chang'an is getting higher and higher day by day. If we don't stock up first, I'm afraid..."
The old gentleman was frightened by the lack of food.
If there are tens of thousands of people without food, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Don't worry, old man, it won't happen. I guess the price of food in Chang'an is about to drop -"
Wang Zi'an drank his own boiled water and waved his hand nonchalantly.
Kong Yingda, Princess Changle and Cheng Ying'er were doubtful. Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed as he looked at Wang Zi'an, with a hint of coldness appearing on the corner of his mouth.
As the leader of the Guanlong family, he naturally knows that grain merchants from Guanlong and Shandong are coming day and night, and will arrive in Chang'an soon.
But so what, those people didn't come here to do charity. They wanted to lower the price of food?
It's just a fool's dream.
However, he would not remind Wang Zi'an that the worse he suffered for this damn bitch, the better.
Only Li Junxian's eyes lit up when he heard Wang Zi'an's words, and he was convinced of Wang Zi'an's judgment.
"Well, where is Zian? The roads are blocked by heavy snow and food from other places cannot come in. How can the price of food in Chang'an drop?"
Kong Yingda still couldn't help but ask. This was a big issue related to the feeding of tens of thousands of people. If he didn't ask clearly, he would feel uneasy.
"Heavy snow can block roads, but it cannot block the greed of people. Now the price of food in Chang'an remains high, and it is about to break through 30 coppers per bucket of rice. If my prediction is correct, once the official warehouse is exhausted, it will only cost 70 coppers per bucket of rice." It may not be impossible…”
Wang Zi'an put down the tea bowl, and couldn't help but feel a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth. Throughout the dynasties, there have always been people who make it difficult for the country to make money and drink the blood of the people. The benefits are heart-warming.
"Then, wouldn't that be——"
Kong Yingda couldn't help but be dumbfounded. For seventy cents per pound of rice, would the common people still have a way to survive?
Seeing that Kong Yingda was so nervous that everyone could hardly sit still, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but smile.
"So, I bet that the grain dealers in Guanlong and Shandong will mobilize all their strength to bring grain and come day and night."
Things are so helpless. If you mobilize the power of the court, this matter may be extremely difficult, but if the benefits are enough to make people jealous, then private power will deliver food to you with an efficiency that will stun the court. Come in front.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but glance at Wang Zi'an again.
This young man is really amazing. No wonder His Majesty values him so much. He really has some discernment. He is definitely a great person when he is placed in court and has been beaten and beaten for several years. Not to mention anything else, but this judgment alone has surpassed most officials in the DPRK.
Well, if you are wise, you can consider promoting one or two.
But now?
Or let him suffer some setbacks.
After all, you are still too young and naive. Do others go to great lengths to transport the food just to sell it to you at a low price for charity?
No matter what Changsun Wuji thought, Wang Zi'an's analysis gave Kong Yingda and the two girls some confidence, and the expressions on their faces improved significantly.
"Since you said that, I can rest assured——"
Kong Yingda looked at Wang Zian with a smile.
"As for Zian, I came here today and actually wanted to ask you for the name of a trading company - after all, you are the real founder of this trading company. You came up with the resources, technology, and ideas, so we just followed suit. Running errands——”
What? !
Changsun Wuji instantly raised his head, his eyes moving back and forth between Wang Zi'an and Kong Yingda's faces in surprise.
Kong Yingda just said that the technology and ideas were all proposed by this Wang Zian? !
Doesn't that mean...
The technology of using charcoal to remove poisonous smoke that Your Majesty mentioned came from the hands of this Wang Zian!
Changsun Wuji, who wanted to understand this, looked at Wang Zi'an with inexplicably complicated eyes.
He thought of the 10% of the shares he had exchanged from His Majesty, and of the 50,000 copper coins he had sent to His Majesty's inner palace, and pulled a dozen carts.
Is this all the work of this young man in front of me?
No wonder His Majesty treats him so favorably!
Just this donation of technology is enough to solve the serious problem of His Majesty's treasury being empty.
This Wang Zi'an is so courageous and scheming!
If he could really become his daughter's son-in-law, it might not be a good thing.
I just don’t know if His Majesty’s so-called business is the same thing as what Changle and the others are doing now. I’d like to ask carefully when I have time.
If it is, you really have to reach out and give it a hand when you can't help it, and you can't just watch it collapse. However, when the time comes, it will no longer be just 10% of the shares.
Have you ever seen a founder with the smallest stakes?
Of course, Wang Zi'an didn't know that someone was already interested in his shares in the trading company. At this time, he couldn't help but laughed.
"Mr. Kong, you are so humble - everything depends on you, and of course Miss Changsun and Miss Sun..."
When Princess Changle heard what Wang Zi'an said, she immediately smiled and waved her hand very boldly.
"It's easy to talk, where is Wang Zi'an, I will help you make a fortune——"
Wang Zi’an:……
Girl, where do you get your confidence?
"However, you don't need to belittle yourself. Look at you, you are good-looking and have money, so you are still somewhat useful..."
Seeing Wang Zi'an's face turned bitter and thinking that she had accidentally hurt the handsome little scholar's self-esteem, Princess Changle quickly comforted her kindly.
Even my best friend couldn't stand the silly girl's behavior anymore and secretly tugged on her skirt.
Princess Changle coughed slightly, "I understood it from my heart," and looked at Wang Zi'an with encouragement.
"Sister Ying'er thinks so too——"
Cheng Ying'er:......
I just like a good and honest girl like you!
The prince looked at Princess Changle happily, then looked at "Miss Sun" who wanted to pull Princess Changle under the table, and nodded happily.
"Okay then, I'll do my part -"
Wang Zi'an knocked on the table gently.
"I think the reason why Mr. Kong and the two girls personally take care of the business affairs and want to open this business is not to covet the profits, but to want the people to be stable and happy for a long time..."
When Kong Yingda heard this, he was immediately relieved. He twirled his beard and nodded with a smile. It was worth it that he had been busy during this time. Princess Changle couldn't help but smile and nodded repeatedly.
This handsome little scholar speaks very nicely. I really want to capture him and put him in the palace.
Before everyone could think about it, Wang Zi'an smiled and said.
"I think our trading firm might as well be called Datang Changle Trading Firm -"
Changsun Wuji's eyes instantly glanced over, staring at Wang Zi'an thoughtfully.
This name is surprisingly long.
Is this an accidental coincidence or a deliberate move? If it's the latter - thinking of this, a look of surprise flashed across Changsun Wuji's eyes.
This Wang Zi'an is really extraordinary.
With this name in front of it, this firm has an extra layer of protection. If others want to touch it, they must weigh themselves carefully to see if it has enough weight.
Princess Changle naturally didn't think so much. When she heard that the name of this trading company coincided with her own title, she immediately smiled and nodded in approval.
It is very majestic to name it after yourself!
Well - my father, emperor and mother will definitely praise me, and other brothers and sisters will also envy me!
Beautiful.
Cheng Ying'er couldn't help but tremble her eyelashes slightly, and glanced at that hateful trapper.
I saw the man's gentle smile and natural expression, as if he really thought of it accidentally, and suddenly I felt a little shaken in my heart.
Maybe, it's really just a coincidence?
PS: That’s it for today, four chapters, probably 9,000 words. I'm a little tired and I'm going to bed. Chapter 5 will be added tomorrow.
