Changsun Wuji knew what this meant.
He knew that salt field. There is a mine with large reserves of salt in the west of the city. Someone in the Wang family once had the idea of this salt farm, but it was later poisoned to death and nothing happened.
Until Wang Zi'an came up with the method of purifying salt.
Then, His Majesty directly took over a salt mine. Now it has broken ground and will be put into production soon.
"Prince An..."
Changsun Wuji shook the deed of the 10% share in his hand and couldn't help but mutter the name, with a complicated look on his face.
Since this young man was born, his influence on His Majesty has become weaker and weaker. Now, His Majesty has almost become dependent on him. He likes to run to Wang Zi'an whenever anything happens, and he likes to seek Wang Zi'an's opinion on everything big or small.
This made the prime ministers like themselves almost become puppets on strings.
He almost had the illusion that Wang Zian was the prime minister, and the prime ministers like him were just doing chores for Wang Zian.
Conquer Mobei, transport grain and grass, open hospitals, create newspapers, expand imperial examination enrollment, and levy salt and iron commercial taxes. The only thing prime ministers like themselves can do is to check for deficiencies, beat the drums, and beat the enemy. Sometimes, they can't even strike. Go up, they will take care of it...
Who is the prime minister here?
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji sighed again in a complicated tone, and then looked down at the deed in his hand.
He understands what His Majesty means. This is solicitation, transaction, and enlightenment.
"10% of the shares, what a big deal -"
This is putting yourself in line.
Unexpectedly, what I couldn't get with all my efforts at the beginning would actually be in my hands today in this way.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head, and put the deed away.
What else can be done?
Of course it is a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist!
The Guanlong family is nothing more than a group of stubborn, conservative, short-sighted old fogies. Your sister is the current queen, and your nephew is the current prince. Do you still need to think about where to stand?
Just when he was about to take a rest, something suddenly moved in his heart, and he remembered something, and immediately called the steward of the house.
"The King of Hejian County is going to hold a glass auction. It is said that there is a glass Guanyin in it. Tomorrow you and Chong'er will take people there and take pictures. It can be used as a birthday gift for the Queen..."
The butler responded in a deep voice and quickly went to get ready.
This is a birthday gift prepared for the Queen, so nothing can go wrong.
Give me a peach and give me a plum in return.
How could I turn a blind eye to His Majesty's overtures?
Of course not!
This Glazed Guanyin is very good. It can be used and it can also please the Queen. I think it will definitely satisfy Your Majesty!
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but smile.
Well, Changle has been running to Wang Zi'an's house recently, which is probably not a good sign. While His Majesty and the empress are happy, they must quickly find a way to finalize the marriage between Chong'er and Changle.
in case!
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved.
My son seems to be on vacation today. Last time, the Empress said she wanted to have sex with her son. Didn't this opportunity come?
See the Queen more often, and especially spend more time with that girl Changle——
We can't always let her run to Wang Zi'an when she has nothing to do.
If we run around and something happens, will the marriage be over?
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji turned around and gave instructions calmly.
"It seems that the eldest son is not on duty today, right? Ask him to come over. I have something to arrange—"
Unexpectedly, not long after he gave the order, the boy who went to call someone came back in a hurry.
"Go home, Master, the eldest son—the eldest son said that he went to meet friends..."
Changsun Wuji's face suddenly darkened and he waved his sleeves.
"Go and get this person back to me!"
Zhizi Mo Ruofu, why did he go out to meet friends? He must have gone out to mess around with those bad friends again.
At that moment, someone responded and hurried out.
Ah, the eldest son seems to be in bad luck——
…
More than half an hour later, Zhang Sun Chong, smelling of alcohol and flushed in the face, was found by his servants. Looking at his son who was still drunk, Changsun Wuji almost broke the rules on the spot and implemented the family law.
"Where did you go fooling around again——"
Looking at his father who was about to explode, Changsun Chong couldn't help but shuddered, and most of his drunkenness dissipated at once.
"Yes, a few friends want to celebrate their children's promotion..."
Chang Sun Chong quickly explained.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but frown, but he couldn't say anything else. When children grow up, they always have to have some social interactions. It is not easy to shirk such activities to celebrate promotion.
"Well - you have just taken over the sled army, and you haven't completely mastered it yet. At this time, the most important thing is to stay in the military camp, eat and sleep with the soldiers, and get used to it. If you can, you can push away some unnecessary entertainment. ——”
Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji suddenly felt something in his heart and asked seemingly casually.
"Who are you with today—"
Seeing that his father's expression improved, Changsun Chong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his father would not blame him!
"They are just some of the children of the Guanlong nobles, like the Yuwen family, the Dugu family, the Hou Mochen family, the Zhao family, the Yu family, the Gao family, the Xiao family, and the Yuan family... "
As Changsun Chong spoke, he tried hard to maintain a calm expression on his face. If it weren't for the slightly raised chest and the corners of his mouth that were about to turn up, it would be almost perfect.
The boy was so proud of himself that he didn't realize that every time he gave a family name, the veins on his father's forehead could not help but beat, and the rhythm was so fast that it was about to pop out.
"So, by holding a tail-burning banquet for you to celebrate your promotion, they are showing their favor to you one after another, and are prepared to follow your lead in the future?"
Changsun Wuji glanced at his son, who was still immersed in the atmosphere of everyone bowing his head. He resisted the urge to explode and almost gritted his teeth and asked.
"Ah, Father, you are so amazing, you even know this..."
Changsun Chong's eyes widened in surprise, and then he clapped his hands in sudden realization.
"I understand, father, you sent someone to keep an eye on me, right? I have told you so many times that the child is now grown up and will never mess around again..."
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but laugh in anger.
If you don't beat such a stupid son now, why don't you keep him for the New Year?
As a result, a symphony of crackling flesh suddenly sounded in the study.
"Ah, father, why did you hit me——"
"Ah, Dad, if you have something to say, say it well, if you have something to say, say it well--"
"Ah - don't fight, don't fight, Dad, I was wrong, I was wrong, let me change it, shouldn't I still be okay..."
"Ah, don't slap in the face, don't slap in the face..."
"..."
a long time.
The feather duster broke, and Changsun Chong was saved.
He held his head in his hands and squatted miserably on the ground, tears of grievance almost coming down his face.
I didn't do anything wrong here——
I remember the last time I had a fight with Cheng Chumo, Li Siwen, and others in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, and my head almost went crazy. His Majesty called me to the palace and gave me a special scolding. Even my father was not so angry.
Today this is——
Crazy?
"Idiot - do you think that you alone can convince those guys who have higher ambitions? You don't even think about it. Why do you think so?"
The person has finished beating him, and most of his anger has gone away. He still needs to give advice where he needs to.
There is nothing I can do. No matter how stupid my son is, he is still my son!
This thing can't be like forging iron. If the quality is not good, just stuff it back into the furnace and make it again.
Before Changsun Wuji could finish his words, he saw that his son was still squatting on the ground with his head in his hands. He immediately became so angry that he couldn't help but kicked him out again.
Changsun Chong:......
That means you are my father!
It’s been a long time since I’ve been beaten so badly——
"Idiot - what are you thinking about every day? As the eldest grandson and the commander of the sleigh army, don't you read the newspaper? Don't you care about the major events in the DPRK?"
Changsun Chong burst into tears of grievance when he heard this.
"I've seen it, and I was talking about these things with my friends today. Everyone thinks that the Datang Evening News is stirring up trouble and harboring evil intentions. It's definitely not a good thing. It's hard to tell which family's remnants are out to cause trouble. , the imperial court should have taken action to eradicate it long ago - I think what they said is very reasonable..."
Changsun Wuji:! ! ! ! ! !
Forget it, I don’t want this son anymore, just beat him to death——
…
While Changsun Wuji was teaching his son at home, Princess Changle, who had just been taught by her queen mother not to run around in the Chang'an Marquis' mansion without any reason, was lying in front of the window, blinking her big eyes, racking her brains to think about what to do. Find some reason to go to Prince Anjia for a meal - well, I just want to eat delicious food, how can I call it a meal?
I am an extraordinary woman from the Tang Dynasty, so I have to be reserved.
But, that little scholar is really pretty, has a nice smile, and his cooking is very delicious. Well, the snacks are also delicious. When she thought of the snacks at Wang Zi'an's house, she immediately felt that the snacks at her house were no longer tasty——
"I've invited sister Ying'er several times, but she can't survive now..."
"Oh, why don't there be any more problems at the trading company? Then even if Sister Ying'er refuses to go, I can go there in a reasonable way!"
She was anxious to get angry, thinking that she would just go through with it if it didn't work out.
When the boss meets the boss, what bad thoughts can there be——
Naturally, we need to have a good talk about the business of the firm.
Then I heard the silver bell-like laughter of my sister from outside the door.
Ah, Gao Yang!
Her eyes suddenly lit up and she almost jumped up on the spot, but she stabilized herself in time. She hurriedly returned to her desk, sat down in a hurry, then picked up a book and pretended to read there.
However, she couldn't read the book, her eyes kept drifting to the door, wanting to rush out and bring her sister in.
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long. After a while, Gao Yang's figure appeared at her door.
"Sister, what are you doing-"
"Ahem - didn't you see? She's reading. Auntie said that we girls should study more..."
Gao Yang glanced at her and revealed her true face mercilessly on the spot.
"Sister, you seem to have knocked down the books..."
Changle:......
"I, I am reciting it like a stream!"
Princess Changle is quick to act in a hurry, but she has a tough mouth.
Fortunately, Gao Yang didn't take things seriously with her. As soon as he entered the house, he started looking around. Seeing this posture, Princess Changle immediately stopped pretending to be a lady and jumped up from the desk, blocking Gao Yang's way.
"You can't take any more, I don't have much left -"
Seeing that his behavior was exposed, Gao Yang was not embarrassed. Instead, he put his hands on his hips and looked at Princess Changle with disdain.
"Sister, you and Wang Zi'an are partners, but you don't understand the principle of the first to get the first to get the lowest? You actually got the advantage of Sister Yue'er for nothing..."
Princess Changle's face immediately turned red, unable to withstand this girl's attack, and she put her hands on her hips in feigning annoyance.
"Damn girl, what are you talking about?"
Gao Yang was not afraid of her, so he pulled her aside and found a seat to sit down.
"I heard that Prince An is more beautiful than Pan An, with a face like Song Yu, and he is versatile, gentle and affectionate. If I meet him first, I will definitely not let him go -"
Princess Changle slapped the table with some annoyance.
"If you have the ability, go ahead -"
Gao Yang didn't get angry after hearing this. Instead, he rolled his eyes, and a sly look flashed unnoticeably in his eyes.
"If this Wang Zi'an hadn't become sister Yue'er's consort, do you think I would be like you and miss it so stupidly? But it's better to be a brother-in-law -"
Speaking of this, she came over mysteriously.
"Sister, how about we cooperate and do a business?"
Hearing this, Princess Changle looked at Gao Yang warily.
"Damn girl, what else are you planning?"
"Sister, look at what you said. We are biological sisters. How can a sister have any bad intentions? I just want to bring you some good things..."
Princess Gaoyang immediately put on an innocent expression.
Princess Changle looked at her sister warily for a while, and felt that what her sister said made sense, so she slowly lowered her guard.
"Tell me, what's the matter? Let's talk about it first. If anything goes too far, I'll be asked. I'm a dignified and reserved princess, a strange woman who was praised by the Tang Evening News. Although I don't care at all what they write..."
After Princess Changle finished speaking, she added a special sentence.
Gao Yang nodded in agreement.
"Of course, sister is the best——"
"You don't have to flatter me, I won't be fooled, but you can tell me first. If possible, I wouldn't mind helping you -"
Princess Changle nodded reservedly and looked at the sister in front of her, feeling much more pleasing to the eye.
"You said that Wang Zi'an should be regarded as my brother-in-law, right? You said that as a younger sister, I should go and check on my sister in advance, right?"
Princess Changle was stunned when she heard this, and then nodded desperately.
Ah, someone gave her a pillow because she was dozing off. I was wondering how to fool her, but I didn’t expect that I was tricked——
Sure enough, Gaoyang girl is the best!
"When a sister goes to meet her brother-in-law for the first time, she can't go empty-handed. She should bring some gifts -"
Chang Le finally found a reasonable and justifiable reason to go to Wang Zi'an's house to eat and drink. He was so excited that he didn't care about her and nodded immediately with a look of approval.
"You said that the younger sister brought gifts, so the brother-in-law should give some gifts in return -"
Jian Changle, actually I’m not coveting anything from theirs, like moisturizer, soap, rouge, etc. I’ll just give you three or two boxes of them..."
Princess Changle:......
Ah, this——
Seeing Chang Le's hesitant expression, Princess Gao Yang immediately patted her chest.
"Sister, don't say anything anymore. We are all sisters. When we get something, we will add two to one and make five and divide it equally!"
"Walk--"
When Chang Le heard this, he immediately clapped his hands, picked up Gao Yang and left. It is a moisturizing cream and soap that can whiten and nourish the skin and prevent aging. After using it, it will smell good for a long time!
