"A bunch of evil beasts, let me practice martial arts!"
Li Xuan was furious, knowing that these bastards were a bunch of weirdos who would make him angry as soon as they spoke, but Li Xuan couldn't help but want to tease them.
"It's nothing. If you mess with me again, I'll beat you up!"
Seeing Li Xuan's sudden rage, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others quickly ran out.
Since Master can't find a way to make money here, they can only go to Xue Rengui to play with weapons!
The weather was so hot, and they didn't want to mess around.
At the same time, after Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo returned to Chang'an City, their expressions changed slightly before they reached the gate of the other courtyard.
At their door, a group of carriages were blocking the road.
Upon closer inspection, a group of familiar stewards from aristocratic families greeted the housekeeper at the door, and then led them into the mansion.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is really good at predicting things. These people have really good noses and they came to your door so quickly!"
In the carriage, Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces.
Afterwards, Zheng Mingde quickly said goodbye to Cui Hongmo.
Since so many people have come to the Cui Family Villa, there are also many guests from the Zheng Family Villa.
"Mr. Lang is back!"
"I've seen Cui Wulang!"
"I've met Master Cui!"
"Cui has met you all!"
After walking through the door, Cui Hongmo glanced at the main hall under the surprised look of the housekeeper and couldn't help but take a slight breath of air.
It’s true that everyone comes!
After greeting each other, Cui Hongmo sat at the head of the table and waited until the butler had served tea to each guest.
Then he coughed lightly and asked slowly: "I wonder what the purpose of all of you gathering at Cui's house is?"
After spending a long time with Li Xuan, Cui Hongmo was also affected by it.
"Go back to Cui Langjun, we are here for the tea!"
A middle-aged man on the left stood up, bowed his hands to Cui Hongmo and said.
"What does Guanshi Liu mean by this?"
Cui Hongmo frowned slightly.
"Why does Cui Langjun need to hide it from us like this? The person behind the Jin tea shop that suddenly popped up in Chang'an City in the past two days is not Cui Langjun and the eighth man of the Zheng family. Who else could it be?"
Manager Liu said with a chuckle.
"Guanshi Liu is joking. Cui is not going to hide this matter. Everyone knows about Cui's previous purchase of tea!"
Cui Hongmo slightly arched his hands and replied slowly.
"It turns out that Cui Langjun bought so many tea leaves for this kind of roasted tea!"
Hearing this, these people all looked surprised, as if they had just learned about it.
Seeing this, Cui Hongmo sneered secretly but said nothing.
At this moment, he already roughly knew the purpose of these people's visit.
If it had been before, during the era of aristocratic families, he might have been interested in cooperating with these aristocratic families and allowing them to get a share of the pie.
It's a pity that the world is now ruled by His Highness Prince Jin!
Seeing Cui Hongmo being silent, Manager Liu's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure, and then his face lit up with a smile.
"Cui Langjun should also know our purpose of coming. The Tang Dynasty is so big that even the Cui family and the Zheng family can't eat it. I wonder, Cui Langjun, if you can give me how many states and counties there are for these aristocratic families? And Cui Langjun
What do the family and the Zheng family want?"
All around, people from aristocratic families looked at Cui Hongmo with gentle faces, waiting for Cui Hongmo's reply.
They had experienced this kind of thing countless times before.
Now, the Tang Dynasty is so big that some businesses cannot be carried out by one or two families.
There is also a default unspoken rule among aristocratic families.
However, today, Cui Hongmo is destined to disappoint these happy family stewards.
"Don't you know that the Jin Tea Shop is the shop of His Highness the King of Jin?"
Cui Hongmo didn't want to offend the people of these aristocratic families too much, so he asked slowly.
"Cui Langjun, don't worry, I will naturally know about this!"
Manager Liu chuckled lightly and said: "However, no matter how evil the King of Jin is, he still can't do business with merchants. In the Jin tea shop, Cui Langjun and Zheng Balang must not be the only ones in charge!"
"Then you may not have found out that behind the Jin tea shop, there are Dukes of Qi, Dukes of Su, Dukes of Wei... and even the guy from Tai Chi Palace!"
Cui Hongmo said.
"this?"
Suddenly, the expressions of everyone in the main hall changed drastically.
If the person from Tai Chi Palace was there, it would be difficult for them to do this!
"You will know this once you investigate!"
Cui Hongmo sighed softly, cupped his hands slightly, and looked apologetic.
"Everyone, it's not that Mr. Cui is unwilling to do this, but that there are those people in the Jin Tea Shop. There are many things that Cui can't do anything about!"
"well!"
Hearing this, Guanshi Liu and everyone from the aristocratic family couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Immediately, his face became distressed.
Just through the brisk business in the five tea shops in Chang'an City in the past two days, they can know how popular this new fried tea will be.
There are cheap ones and expensive ones. Whether you are a poor person or a powerful person, there is tea that matches your status!
It’s really suitable for both men and women of all ages to drink!
Even if there are those great scholars who suppress him, he can't suppress him for long!
And when it was completely unstoppable, this kind of tea became popular throughout the Tang Dynasty.
"Cui Langjun, no matter what, even with that person behind you, you guys alone can't open Jin tea shops in every state and county across the country!"
After Manager Liu sat down, another manager from a noble family stood up on the side.
"Manager Pei, Cui is not sure about this!"
Likewise, Cui Hongmo still looked ashamed.
"Cui Langjun was joking. The entire Tang Dynasty had a total of 360 states and 1,557 counties. Pei didn't believe that you could send so many shopkeepers to so many states and counties.
?
According to the temperament of His Highness the King of Jin, he would not let go of the barbarians around him. With just the Cui and Zheng families, as well as the princes and princes, even if they could gather 800 shopkeepers, it would be considered good.
Got it!"
After hearing this, everyone from the aristocratic family couldn't help but their eyes lit up and they looked at Cui Hongmo closely.
"Exactly, Brother Pei's words are reasonable. Those few people before have opened shops selling glass, sofas and other items. Now, they may not be able to gather 500 shopkeepers!"
"This is very reasonable, Cui Langjun..."
"Everyone, please be patient!"
Cui Hongmo also looked shocked.
He had never thought of this situation before.
"Please Cui Langjun, please be more careful about this matter. After all, although we and other aristocratic families compete with each other, we are still in the same spirit. We have to help each other in everything, so that we can pass it on forever!
"Exactly, we need to trouble Cui Langjun about this matter!"
Immediately, all the family stewards stood up and bowed their hands to Cui Hongmo.
However, his eyes were full of relief, and there was no regret as before.
"Don't worry, everyone, Cui will go to His Highness King Jin tomorrow to explain this matter!"
Cui Hongmo returned the favor with a solemn expression.
At the same time, in the Zheng Family Courtyard, Zheng Mingde was also facing the same situation.
A group of stewards from aristocratic families who had good relations with the Zheng family also gathered together.
…
The next day.
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde hurried to Lijiazhuang again.
"There were 1,557 counties in the entire Tang Dynasty?"
Li Xuan looked at Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde in confusion.
"Back to your Majesty, it's true. In addition to the three hundred and sixty states, the tea shop alone needs about two thousand shopkeepers!"
