If you can't beat them, join them!
To a certain extent, both Changsun Wuji and Li Zexuan currently share the same "party belief" - protecting the prince. There is no need for him to deliberately fight with Li Zexuan. Over the past year, Li Zexuan has used a series of means to establish a power group with Yanhuang Academy as the core. The young boy who just returned from Longhu Mountain has become a person that many people cannot afford to offend!
Since we can’t afford to offend, and we have common interests, why not seek cooperation for mutual benefit and win-win results?
After all, no one will have trouble with interests!
"Also, Li Zexuan's workshop has been making bicycles and carriages, which must consume a lot of iron, right? Even if he owns an iron mine on Hedong Road, he may not be able to supply it. Chong'er, you can tell Li Zexuan by the way, if he If you are willing to cooperate, I am willing to let him mine the iron mines of Changsun's family, as long as he can give us half of the smelted iron!"
In the study, Changsun Wuji showed a hint of a "cunning" smile on his face. He stroked his beard and said to Changsun Chong.
What is mutual benefit and win-win? This is called mutual benefit and win-win! At present, Li Zexuan does not seem to be short of money, but he is short of resources. Things like iron ore resources cannot be bought with money. Changsun Wuji "gifted" his family's iron ore to Li Zexuan, which can be said to be a positive investment. It's good for Li Zexuan, but at the same time, their eldest grandson's family will not suffer!
Because with the Changsun family's iron-making technology, it would take hundreds of years to smelt all the iron mines they own into iron. Speaking of things that happen hundreds of years later, how could Changsun Wuji care? At that time, whether the Changsun family still existed or not was a question!
But giving the iron ore to Li Zexuan for smelting is completely different. With the iron smelting speed of the Qiquge Workshop, the iron smelted for one year is equivalent to the output of the Changsun family in the previous four to five years. Even if Li Zexuan is given half of the iron, As a reward, his grandson Wuji will still make a lot of money!
This is a way to sacrifice future resources in exchange for current wealth, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results with others. The old fox is worthy of being an old fox, and he is probably the only one who can come up with such a "shrewd" idea!
"Dad? Are you going to give our iron mine to the mountain chief? Wouldn't our family suffer a big loss?"
How could Changsun Chong think so much? Hearing this, he looked at his father in disbelief. Although, he personally admired Li Zexuan, the image of Changsun Wuji in his mind had always been to put the interests of the family first. Now the old man's behavior , which made him confused!
"Haha! Whether it's a loss or not, you won't know until you try it! Chong'er, just tell Li Zexuan like this!"
Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and smiled.
"Oh! Okay, Dad!"
Although Changsun Chong was full of doubts, he still scratched his head and responded.

The first time Tang Yuan met the world, it caused a lot of waves. The main reason was that Tang Yuan was extremely easy to carry and difficult to imitate. It attracted the attention of many interested people, but most people only regarded Tang Yuan as a person. Looking at this extremely exquisite "handicraft", very few people can see the huge business opportunities behind Tang Yuan and Yanhuang Bank like Changsun Wuji!
"Master, yesterday afternoon alone, the bank exchanged more than 6,000 Tang Yuan worth for the students. This is unbelievable!"
On the second day, Wang Zhong came to the other courtyard and said excitedly to Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan happened to have just finished eating. He wiped his mouth with toilet paper and said with a smile: "Haha! Uncle Wang, where are you? There are many things that will make you unbelievable! Oh, by the way, there are so many bank deposits. First of all, you must pay attention to the safety of the money. If there are not enough manpower, I will send some guards there; secondly, you must take out the copper coins to dry them regularly to prevent them from getting rusty!"
This is where the real money turns to rust and mold!
Not only iron can rust, but copper can also rust. This is called patina! In fact, currency circulation in ancient times was not frequent. Those wealthy families often asked servants to dry copper coins regularly, just to prevent the copper coins from rusting and affecting their quality!
"Don't worry, young master, these old men all know!"
Fu Bo said with a smile.
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "That's the case, then Uncle Wang, go and do your work first!"
Uncle Fu bowed his hands, said goodbye, and left. He still had to go on "duty" at the bank!
"Ms. sir, you have worked hard for so many days, can you finally have some time off?"
After Uncle Fu left, Han Yuxi came over, handed over a glass of hot water, and said with a smile.
Li Zexuan has been running around for Tang Yuan and the bank recently, working overtime and staying up late. Han Yuxi feels very distressed when she looks at it, wishing she could take his place in his place, but there are some things that she cannot replace. , so she could only worry on the side.
"Haha! I'm not busy anymore! But now that the confinement period for my husband is over, it's time to go out and walk around!"
Li Zexuan had just finished his meal, and the cup of hot water brought by Han Yuxi was just in time. He drank the hot water and said with a smile.
By the way, today is a good day. It has been exactly two months since he was grounded by Li Er. Although he is a homebody, sometimes the feeling of having to go out for something but not being able to go out is really uncomfortable for him. Got it!
"Oh~! I almost forgot! Today is a good day for my husband to lift his confinement period! My husband has a really good memory!"
When Han Yuxi heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then said with a little bit of reluctance.
For more than two months, Li Zexuan could not go out, so he naturally spent more time with her. However, she also knew that her husband-in-law was a person who did important things and could not be bored by her side for the rest of his life, so she did not show it at all on her face. Showing that little daughter emotion.
"Ah! Brother, can you go out to play now? Lan'er wants to go out to play too!"
After Lan'er heard the conversation between the couple, she immediately shouted.
She has been holding it back for the past two months! Although there is a little friend (Li Anren) on Yunshan Mountain, how can it be as lively as Chang'an?
"Haha! OK, OK! Let's go out in a moment! Let's go to Uncle Qin's house for dinner at noon!"
Li Zexuan rubbed Lan'er's little head and said.
Due to the lockdown, their family did not go out to pay New Year greetings during the Chinese New Year. You must know that Han Yuxi just married into the Li family last year and was considered a bride. The bride's return home in the first year is very important. However, because Li Zexuan was banned, Han Yuxi Didn't even return the door.
Although the confinement period has passed, Han Tianhu has gone to Lanzhou, and the Han family has basically become an empty house. Fortunately, Han Yuxi still has a foster father and stepmother. Visiting her and showing her filial piety can also make her feel a little better. comfort!
