Chapter 155 Are you teaching me to do things? (Eighth)
At this time, an old man entered the palace.
He came in a hurry.
After seeing Li Shimin and many concubines.
Just bowed.
"Wang Gui has met your majesty, queen, and noble concubine!"
"Wang Gui, why are you here today? Don't you know it's not my time to deal with state affairs?"
Li Shimin said a little unhappy.
The royal concubine said, "Your Majesty, Wang Gui must have come to see you for something important. Let's listen to what he has to say."
The two are uncles and nephews, so they are on the same side.
But at this time, Concubine Yang suggested: "Your Majesty, if there is something important, why don't I and my concubines retire first?"
Concubine Wei also understood what was going on.
"Your Majesty, I think that Concubine Yang is right. We are not allowed to listen to state affairs! Let us retire first!"
I'm afraid it won't be good if I stay here by myself.
The royal concubine is also there.
If they left, Concubine Wang would be embarrassed to stay there.
Concubine Yan De and Concubine Yin also expressed their stance.
Li Shimin nodded.
Said: "Okay, you can go back first!"
Then the three women were about to leave.
As for Wang Guifei, she had no reaction at all.
Concubine Yan De said directly: "Wang Guifei, what about you? Are you going to hinder His Majesty from handling state affairs here?"
This question made her have to say: "Then I will also retire!"
At the same time, he glared at Concubine Yan De, telling her to talk more.
Then he bowed.
A group of four people left here.
Only Li Shimin, Queen Changsun and Wang Gui were left at the scene.
After the four people left.
Wang Guicai said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember what I said that day about the Turks exchanging porcelain?"
What Li Shimin thought was happening turned out to be something related to the Turks.
"I still remember, why?"
"Things remain unchanged, the Turks don't seem to trade porcelain with us!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was furious.
"Did these Turks do this on purpose? We all agreed, how could we go back on our word? Are they playing with our feelings?"
Queen Changsun felt that this happened suddenly.
I couldn't help but ask one more question.
"Then why don't they trade porcelain with us?"
That’s a huge amount of income. If you say you don’t want to trade, then you won’t trade?
"This was originally a good point. We have almost finished producing porcelain and will be trading it in the next few days. Who would have thought that the Sixth Prince would appear on the way and he would use some method to confuse the Turkic caravan and make them turn around?
Buy colored glaze instead of porcelain."
Wang Gui almost cried as he spoke.
After all, this loss is huge.
It would be uncomfortable for anyone else.
Regarding this issue, Li Shimin actually laughed after hearing it.
He was so happy. Originally, he was a little unhappy about the Wang family's handling of the porcelain, but now it's better because Li Min intervened.
That's good.
Very good!
But in front of Wang Gui, he couldn't be too obvious.
He just said: "Although there is no porcelain, the deal can still be concluded, and there is no loss for the court."
What he said is not wrong. As long as it can bring in income, then who is trading?
"But the Turks are so untrustworthy, how could this be done? Then who will bear the losses of the Wang family and other major families? That will have some economic impact on the Tang Dynasty, so please pay attention to it!
"
To put it bluntly, this time I wanted to ask Li Shimin to take action and stop what Li Min was doing.
How could Li Shimin fulfill his wish? After all, being able to be the emperor is where the essence of a human being lies.
So, he was going to do a trick.
That is to say: "Let me think about this matter!"
"Your Majesty, please take action to stop it!"
Li Shimin was unhappy after hearing this.
This Wang Gui used too much force.
So he said with a sullen face: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
That look could kill someone.
Wang Gui was so frightened that he said: "No, no, I don't mean that."
"There is no best. I know what to do. As for the result, just go back and wait for the news!"
"But Your Majesty, what about the loss?"
"Will the Wang family collapse because of these porcelains? Will these porcelains cause a devastating blow to the financial resources of the Wang family and other major families?"
Li Shimin asked.
Wang Gui said nothing.
Because the five major families are so big, this money is only one ten thousandth, so it is not considered a loss.
Empress Changsun also came out to persuade: "Yes, it is not impossible for this porcelain to be consumed internally after it is produced. As long as the price is acceptable, the general public will buy it, so there is no loss. It's just that
It’s just that it takes longer to recover costs, but overall it’s still profitable, right?”
The emperor and the queen have said so, and Wang Gui also lacks the help of a royal concubine. There is nothing he can do about this.
At the same time, he realized that Li Shimin was determined not to care anymore.
Because the imperial court gains benefits, doesn’t it matter who sells it?
As long as the sheep are purchased by the imperial court when the time comes, it won't be a problem.
"The queen is right!"
In the end Wang Gui gave up and could only say this.
"Okay, that's it. Is there anything else?"
Li Shimin then asked.
Wang Gui couldn't think of anything for a moment.
But in my heart, I had long wanted to get rid of Li Min.
They even tried to find ways to make Li Min's business impossible.
Therefore, when he returns, he will definitely try his best to deal with Li Min.
but not now.
"No more, Your Majesty!"
"Then stand down!"
"yes!"
Wang Gui then went down and followed him down.
Queen Changsun asked: "Didn't Your Majesty promise to give porcelain to the Wang family before?"
"That was just a promise. His products were not competitive and were left to Li Min. Who is to blame? And who should be allowed to do it? It can also weaken the power of the Wang family and other major families. Li Min's intervention is right. This
The boy finally did something right."
Li Shimin sighed.
Then he sighed and said, "Why didn't I think of exchanging the glass for sheep?"
Li Shimin felt a little regretful.
But the reality did not allow him to regret it.
"Your Majesty, the quality of our colored glaze is not as good as Min'er's. We can exchange it just for quantity, but the other party has more than 100,000 sheep, so we may not be able to bear it."
"The queen is right. Li Min has done a good job in this regard. He still has to make the money!"
"Your Majesty, your father and son will eventually get back together one day. When that day comes, won't his things belong to the Tang Dynasty?"
Queen Changsun said again.
"That treacherous son? Forget it, how can I take the child's things? Let him develop. The only real thing is to pay more taxes."
Li Shimin didn't blush at all when he said this. He obviously wanted a lot of things from Li Min, so why did he still say such things?
Empress Changsun did not expose Li Shimin.
He just said as he meant: "Your Majesty said it is absolutely true!"
"That's all, I don't want to think about that much anymore. Let's continue walking!"
"yes!"
And until noon, a big event that would make the Wang family heartbroken was about to happen ten miles away from the west gate.
