"Xuanling, I have been with Your Majesty for so long. I thought that I already know Your Majesty very well. I didn't expect that I feel so strange today."
"But I have to admire him. Your Majesty is worthy of being a hero."
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, if His Majesty were not a hero, it would be impossible to cultivate an unstable factor. Since he dares to cultivate it, it means that His Majesty is fully confident."
"As long as you and I assist His Majesty, as for other things, I don't want to take care of them anyway."
Changsun Wuji nodded. He didn't know how he died and still wanted to meddle in other people's business. Your Majesty is too insidious. You must be careful in the future.
That night, Zhaojun's Li family and Lu family, as well as the great nobles and wealthy businessmen, did not receive any words from the court.
If officials from the three provinces and six ministries dare to leak out what Li Shimin has repeatedly stressed, I'm afraid their heads will be moved immediately. No one will be stupid enough to curry favor with a family that is about to collapse.
These dozens of big dog owners who collect grain have once again formed a united front.
What they didn't expect was that that night, a large amount of grain was sold, and it was sold for a hundred cash.
These two dozen big dog owners immediately began to purchase all the grain that appeared on the market overnight. They would never allow low-priced grain to exist.
After they took action, the small merchants who were preparing to sell once again tightened their pockets and were no longer prepared to sell.
However, there was one family that cleared out all the purchased grain overnight, and sold it at a price of eighty cents. Most of the grain was stolen by small traders and private grain stores.
On the streets of Yong'anfang, apart from the watchmen, the only ones left were the patrolmen of the Jinwu Guard. Of course, there were also some stray dogs, lying in the garbage heaps grabbing food, and occasionally fighting for food.
Following the barking of a dog, a dark shadow quickly arrived at a house along the reflection on the wall.
It was obvious that the owner of this house had not fallen asleep either, as the room was dimly lit.
"Dong dong dong..."
There was a knock on the door, and the door was opened immediately. The black shadow quickly looked around, entered the yard, and ran straight to the lighted house.
"My subordinates have met the young master and the housekeeper."
Sitting in the room was a handsome young man in his twenties, and a gray-haired old man stood next to him.
"What's wrong? They didn't notice that we sold food, did they?" The boy took a sip of tea and asked calmly.
"No, my subordinates all followed the steward's instructions. They placed the grain purchased in the past few days in the 108th square. They found a buyer earlier and sold it easily."
"Very good, go and get the reward!"
"Tomorrow morning, you set off to the northwest. I'm afraid Chang'an City is not suitable for you to stay. My father is following the King of Shu there. Yesterday I wrote a letter saying that there is an urgent need for manpower and the treasures there are very cheap."
"Yes, I will leave tomorrow morning."
This man in black is the representative person arranged by the Cui family in Chang'an City. This time, he followed the instructions of the Cui family and took the lead in purchasing grain. On the one hand, it was to make the Lu family and Li family more courageous and spend all their food. On the one hand, they, the Cui family, also have to make some money.
But his father said in the letter that this time it was to help the King of Shu cheat other aristocratic families, and it must not be discovered, and he could not make too much money, so after discussing with the housekeeper, he sold it for eighty cents.
"Young Master, although we didn't make much money this time, the head of the family is really wise and followed the King of Shu. Otherwise, if we really followed the others this time, the family would probably be doomed."
The young man smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, it's better for our family not to get involved in the business. Our ancestors have a family tradition and don't allow future generations to get involved in the business. It's enough."
"Our Cui family is mainly engaged in officialdom, scholarship, agriculture, industry and commerce. We must not lose the reputation of our ancestors. The highest sect in the world, the head of the five major families, is not about financial resources, but about cultural heritage. In the final analysis, it is about cultivation. How many talents have been acquired..."
"My uncle is still awesome. If it weren't for his uncle, the Cui family would probably have suffered. It's a pity that my uncle is not very smart. He insists on becoming a Taoist priest..."
"Actually, my uncle has more vision and structure than my father."
Uncle Fu smiled and said, "The young master also has a sharp vision and structure."
"Stop flattering me. Tomorrow morning, bring your gifts and come with me to pay a visit to Princess Shu."
Uncle Fu was a little confused and asked: "Master, why do you need to pay a visit to the Princess of Shu first? It is impossible for the King of Shu to become the emperor in the future!"
"You know what the heck, the King of Shu has the shadow of His Majesty today, and now he has considerable power. The Crown Prince is so weak that he will follow Li Jiancheng's path sooner or later."
"I heard that the King of Shu valued this princess very much and handed over all the business to the Princess of Shu. The King of Shu has been gone for a while, but the business of the King of Shu is booming. What does this mean?"
"This princess is not simple either!"
"Li Shuwan is the apple of Li Jing's eye. Li Jing is both civil and military, and has a deep palace. With his military exploits, he can shoot from the right and enter the center of the country. How can he be a simple person? How can his daughter be worse?"
"Yes, Master!"
"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful with the candle..."
The watchman's shout came from outside, and then the sound of roosters crow came from all around. It was the fourth watch, and the sky was about to light up.
The young man stood up, looked outside, and said with a smile: "Today's dawn has come so late, but it is also of epoch-making significance. When the dawn recedes and the light arrives, countless aristocratic families will become history. …”
"I, Cui Tianming, disdain to rely on the strength of my family. I want to rely on my own strength to be this year's top pick."
"At the center of the imperial court, I, Cui Tianming, must have a place."
The darkness before dawn is really dark. Although the sound of roosters crows one after another, the light from the east just doesn't come out.
That night, countless people were waiting for that ray of light to appear.
Finally, amidst everyone's expectations, a bright light appeared in the eastern sky. Gradually, the huge red sun rose, and the golden light spread to every corner of Chang'an City.
Boom!
Boom!
Dong dong dong...
At three o'clock in the fifth watch, the street drum on Shuntian Gate was beaten, and the heavy door was slowly opened by soldiers.
Street drums were being beaten everywhere, and the market was finally open.
Biquge
