Wang Yang sat on the main seat with a sad look on his face.
"Can the royal servant go into the palace to persuade His Majesty?"
he asks.
Among the king's servants is Wang Gui.
"I entered the palace early in the morning, and I haven't come back yet!"
"I wanted Zili to not be able to harvest the grain, but I didn't want to end up in this situation. What should I do? I'm afraid the grain will rot in my hands!"
Wang Yang sighed.
I don’t know who came up with this, and they are now in a dilemma.
What made him even more puzzled was yet to come.
Someone came quickly to report.
"Two new Shengtang Liquor and Ice Shops opened in West Market, and business is booming! Almost no one buys our fruit wine! It also benefits other shops! Their business is booming because of the flow of people!
Moreover, these two stores deliberately bypassed our territory, so our bad business became even worse!"
Wang Yang was shaking with anger.
It was completely intentional.
This is just the beginning! It will become more obvious in the future, where the Shengtang Group is located is the center!
Dongshi is a special case.
"The status of the East Market is not guaranteed, and even the second-tier West Market is like this. Are we afraid that our Wang family will not be able to settle down in Chang'an City?"
Someone asked:
"Master, what should we do?"
"What should we do? Just store the food!"
"But there are too many. There are so many rats in Chang'an City recently. If they stay here for a long time, I'm afraid it will cause even greater waste!"
Someone said this.
Not only that, people from the palace also came.
Saying that Wang Gui failed, Li Shimin was very determined to limit the price.
Now Wang Yang is in a dilemma.
"Sell, sell, sell everything at the market price! The sooner the better!"
Wang Yang shouted.
He was tired.
No one dared to say anything. After all, he was defeated in this matter, because his opponent was Li Min! If it were anyone else, his Wang family would still be the Wang family, but in front of Li Min, the Wang family was just the loser!
When he decides.
The entire grain warehouse belonging to the Wang family in the East City began to be executed.
At the same time, at this time, Zhu Shan, who was lurking around the Wang family, was already gaining momentum.
When it was time to release grain, they would buy as much money as they had.
Once in and out, the direct loss is hundreds of thousands taels, or even more.
Prices throughout Chang'an have also returned to normal.
They chose the wrong supplies. If it had been other supplies, Li Shimin might not have intervened. It was a pity.
Such a situation made Wang Yang's heart bleed.
But what else can they do?
The grain was left unsold, only enough for the rats to eat.
At the same time, the news of the purchase and sale quickly reached Li Shimin's ears.
In the main hall of Li.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were both present.
A eunuch was standing in front of them, telling what happened.
"Then the Shengtang Group really swallowed up all the Wang family's food?"
Li Shimin asked in shock.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you can buy as much as you want! Not only that, yesterday the Shengtang Group also sold all 80,000 shi of grain to the Wang family. Today they got it back at a low price."
Li Shimin took a breath of air.
Because he discovered that he was being used as a weapon by Li Min.
"You traitor! How dare you take advantage of me? How courageous you are!"
When Li Yuan came over yesterday, he should have thought of it.
It's a pity that I didn't think that much because I took care of family ties.
Now when the eunuch reported it, he realized that this was the case.
That made Li Shimin very angry.
"You traitor! I'm so angry!"
Li Shimin slammed the table fiercely.
"Your Majesty, maybe this is a good thing!"
Queen Changsun said.
"That kid took advantage of me, but you said it was a good thing? Are you on his side?"
Li Shimin was very puzzled and asked.
"No, Your Majesty must not do this. You have to think further."
Li Shimin was puzzled.
"Think about it, the Wang family will definitely be enemies with Min'er in the future, and Min'er is very smart, so the Wang family will definitely not get any benefits. In this way, over time, the power that can be weakened will be Datang's Clear up the trouble!"
Queen Changsun's words made Li Shimin calm down and think.
As Li Min, he is simply lucky to have such existences as Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang.
It was also because of Empress Changsun that Li Shimin became less violent.
"And your Majesty cannot be kind to one another. Last time Gan'er made a mistake and returned the Wang family's child. Instead of punishing him, you rewarded him. Shouldn't Min'er be even more like this?"
Queen Changsun's words touched Li Shimin's heart.
"Yes, the queen is right. This point is that I lacked consideration. Fortunately, you are here. Otherwise, I would have wrongly blamed Li Min."
Only then did Li Shimin recover a little.
He used to have a very bad temper, but now he is finally back to normal.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Then what does the queen think she will do next?"
"Of course I'm on Min'er's side! To help him suppress the Wang family's power. In this way, the Wang family will be weak, followed by the other four families!"
The five surnames and seven hopes can be said to be a pain in their hearts.
Although they now control the country's machinery, they still have to rely on them for the economy.
Without them, it might be better, at least in terms of some reforms, we wouldn't run into too much trouble.
"The Queen is right. But I will inevitably feel uncomfortable."
It would be uncomfortable for anyone, right?
Then, Empress Changsun said again: "Just now, why did Wang Gui come to ask His Majesty?"
"It's just that I didn't agree to him about lifting the restriction. After all, Li Min was right about this matter. For the sake of people's livelihood, I can't lift it."
"Is this Wang Gui also from the Wang family?"
Queen Changsun said so.
"He belongs to the Wang family, but I am interested in his talent and learning. He is a rare talent."
"This person cannot be reused!"
Empress Changsun only said six words.
Li Shimin didn't take it seriously.
"I believe that my sincerity can move him and I will work hard for him."
Li Shimin thought that Wang Gui would work hard for him.
On this point, Queen Changsun expressed.
There was nothing she could do about it. Sometimes even the nine-headed ox could not get rid of something that Li Shimin believed.
"Then I have nothing to say."
"By the way, where is Li Min now?"
Li Shimin asked suddenly.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince..."
"What's wrong with him?"
"He is heading to Yihong Tower!"
"This kid..."
Li Shimin was speechless.
But what can he do?
Now Li Min has gone out on his own.
He can't restrict anything.
Is there still a law saying that Li Min is not allowed to step into a brothel?
This is obviously unreasonable.
Empress Changsun also said: "He is still a little young. How can he go to a place like that casually?"
"Don't pay attention to him, this kid is like this."
Li Shimin also gave up.
"Your Majesty, the young one will leave now!"
"Okay, get out!"
At this time, the two people they mentioned, Li Min and Xue Rengui, were standing outside the door of Yihong Building.
