Chapter 52 Volume One The Speculations of Honorable Men
In the afternoon of that day, when Yang Lin and others were struggling with how to get the food back to Jingyang, there was an explosion in the elite circle in Chang'an City.
The name of the gloves has already set off a trend in the elite circle. Countless people who have not bought it today are ready to get up early tomorrow to be the first to buy it.
In Cheng Yaojin's house, Duke Su, Cheng Yaojin was sitting in the main hall, holding his gloves fondly, looking at the man standing at the bottom and saying: "You asked Cheng Zhenghao to do it, yes, this matter was done well."
After saying that, he moved his hands and said, "Tell me, why didn't we think that if we had had this thing, Yuchi would not be my match when we met him in the winter."
The person standing at the bottom was a shopkeeper who had discussed with Yang Lin before. He was originally a distant member of the Cheng family. Because of Cheng Yaojin's relationship, he had been doing business in Chang'an these years, which was quite satisfactory.
It's just that their relationship with Cheng Yaojin is far away, and they don't even have the qualifications to visit him on weekdays. No, he happened to see this thing today, and his quick mind only took a moment to think of the importance of this thing to a general.
It might have a greater effect, so I agreed to Yang Lin's request without much consideration.
Compared with that little food, he still cared more about getting closer to the Duke of Su.
However, when faced with Cheng Yaojin's question, he didn't know how to answer it. He smiled and said, "My lord, this matter may not be simple."
"Isn't it simple?" Cheng Yaojin felt the warmth in the palm of his hand, and was about to find someone who could take advantage of it. When he heard what he said, he stopped and asked, "Why is it not simple?"
"The merchant who sells our gloves has some issues with the Cui family." At this point, he paused for a moment and then said, "My wife is also from the Cui family. Will this make the Cui family dissatisfied with our Cheng family?"
He is such a smart person. With this convenience, of course he has to climb the pole. Besides, he was actually right when he said that our Cheng family is, no matter what, they are indeed the Cheng family.
Cheng Yaojin didn't care about his little cleverness. He thought about it and said, "You don't have to worry about my wife. Since she married into my family, she belongs to my Cheng family. But, you said that the businessman had a feud with the Cui family."
What's going on? As far as I know, the Cui family doesn't show off in Chang'an City?"
Regardless of whether he is the Cui family's son-in-law or not, this matter needs to be clarified, so that when the Cui family comes to the door, he will not know anything.
"That merchant is from Jingyang, listen to him..."
"You said the person who sells our gloves is from Jingyang?" Before Cheng Zhenghao could finish his words, Cheng Yaojin interrupted him. How could he not know that the current prince is in Jingyang City in his position?
In just a moment, he guessed something. After all, it was Li Chengqian who came up with the idea of alcohol.
You know, in recent days, Li Shimin specially found someone to test the efficacy of alcohol, and they, the military bosses, naturally paid more attention to it. The effect was so miraculous that it was unheard of.
Looking at it this way, it would be acceptable if Li Chengqian came up with something weird again.
"Yes, it's a new store opened by several businessmen in Jingyang, called Changming Store."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't get involved in this matter, and don't get involved, whether it's the Cui family or that shop, don't get involved. By the way.
, you said before, did you get this thing in exchange for food?"
Cheng Yaojin's thinking was very quick. At the same time, he was also an absolutely shrewd person. Otherwise, he would not have lived to be nearly eighty years old before dying. He also arranged a group of children properly, especially the three legitimate sons.
This time he also won the title of county duke.
As soon as I heard the name of this shop and that they specifically requested to trade in grain, I immediately guessed who was behind it.
In fact, only if Li Chengqian came up with this thing, he would not be surprised.
As for the fight between Li Chengqian and the Cui family, he naturally knew about it.
But this has nothing to do with him. He will neither side with the Cui family nor Li Chengqian. It is best to choose Li Shimin without offending both sides.
After all, Li Shimin was now in his prime, and he was already dissatisfied with the gentry. Cheng Yaojin would not make such a low-level mistake.
As for saying that he is the son-in-law of the Cui family, hehe, he is also a minister of Li Shimin.
"Do you mean that the businessmen in Jingyang can beat the Cui family?" Cheng Zhenghao was also surprised, this is the Cui family!
Although Cheng Yaojin didn't say it explicitly, there was such meaning in his words.
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said: "It has nothing to do with us whether we can win or not. As long as we don't mess with it, we just don't mess with it." At this point, Cheng Yaojin thought of something else and added, "By the way, you did it before
He said that we traded grain with them. Did you transport the grain to Jingyang?"
"That's not true. We were trading outside the city. After they counted the grain, they handed it over to them. Many people went there at that time."
Cheng Yaojin thought for a while and said: "In this way, you arrange people to help them send the food back to Jingyang. After all, others have sent the goods to Chang'an City. You have to send the goods to Jingyang no matter what, and just send them outside the city."
, don’t worry about the rest.”
In fact, Cheng Yaojin and the others really admire Li Chengqian, but it is useless to admire him any more. After all, Li Shimin is now in his prime, what do you dare to do?
As for asking him to deliver the food outside Jingyang City, it was actually a disguised form of selling it to Li Chengqian, or not to offend Li Chengqian. After all, he really delivered the food to you.
Even if the Cui family knew about it, they would have nothing to say.
As for safety along the way, hehe, Jingyang is right on the edge of Chang'an. Even if you travel all night, it's no big deal. Besides, businessmen these days are not easy to mess with. Large caravans and small groups of bandits are not easy to deal with.
Don't dare to provoke.
At this time, the same scene was happening in the homes of many nobles in Chang'an City. No one who could get into this situation was free.
As soon as they heard a few key points, Jingyang, grain and Changming shops, everyone could guess that it was related to Li Chengqian.
Of course, everyone tacitly understood the situation without saying a word, and no one even sent a message to the Cui family.
Firstly, most of them are new rich and have little connection with the long-established wealthy families like the Cui family. Secondly, no one has enough money to provoke a prince who dares to kill himself in Tai Chi Hall.
Even though the court had blocked the news of what happened in Tai Chi Hall that day, it was natural for nobles like them to know about it.
Thirdly, and the most important point is that they all know that Li Chengqian has won the battle between Jingyang and the Cui family.
The victory or defeat has been decided, what else is there to know?
However, they never imagined that Li Chengqian was more ruthless and cruel than they imagined. Even if Cui Hao learned the news at this time, he probably would only think that Li Chengqian would leave after getting the food. He also did not expect that Li Chengqian would still do it.
Give him a fatal blow!
If you don't fight back when bitten by a dog, that is incompetence. It will bite you again the next time it sees you. Only if you hit it once and it hurts, it will run far away the next time it sees you.
PS: I should have finished writing it a long time ago, but last night I burned my hand and it hurt for half the night. It’s true that I don’t have the one-armed magic of Yang Guo...
