Of course, Changsun Wuji didn't know that there were thousands of coins that he had contributed, otherwise he would probably be even more crazy.
"By the way, you don't need to buy too much food first. It's enough for two or three days..."
Wang Zi'an thought about it and gave him a friendly reminder. He couldn't be ruthless and cheat himself. Now they had to use their own money to buy high-priced grain.
As soon as this topic was brought up, Kong Yingda suddenly became worried and twirled his sparse goatee vigorously, with such a posture that he wished he could untangle food from his beard.
"Isn't this bad? Now that the roads are blocked by heavy snow, the price of food in Chang'an is getting higher and higher day by day. If we don't stock up first, I'm afraid..."
The old gentleman was frightened by the lack of food.
If tens of thousands of people are without food, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Don't worry, old man, it won't happen. I guess the price of food in Chang'an is about to drop -"
Wang Zi'an drank his own boiled water and waved his hand nonchalantly.
Kong Yingda, Princess Changle and Cheng Ying'er were doubtful. Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed as he looked at Wang Zi'an, with a hint of coldness appearing in the corner of his mouth.
As the leader of the Guanlong family, he naturally knows that grain merchants from Guanlong and Shandong are coming day and night, and will arrive in Chang'an soon.
But so what, those people didn’t come here to do charity. They wanted to lower the price of food?
It's simply a fool's dream.
However, he would not remind Wang Zi'an that the worse he suffered for this hateful bitch, the better.
Only Li Junxian, when he heard Wang Zi'an's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and he was convinced of Wang Zi'an's judgment.
"Well, where is Zian? The road is blocked by heavy snow and food from other places cannot come in. How can the price of food in Chang'an drop?"
Kong Yingda still couldn't help but ask, this was a big issue related to the feeding of tens of thousands of people. If he didn't ask clearly, he would feel uneasy.
"Heavy snow can block roads, but it cannot block the greed of people. Now the price of food in Chang'an remains high, and it is about to break through thirty cents per meter. If my prediction is correct, once the official warehouse is exhausted, seventy cents per meter will be enough."
It may not be impossible…”
Wang Zi'an put down the tea bowl, and couldn't help but feel a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth. Throughout the dynasties, there have always been those people who make it difficult for the country to make money and drink the blood of the people. The benefits are heart-warming.
"Then, wouldn't that be——"
Kong Yingda couldn't help but be dumbfounded. For seventy cents per pound of rice, would the common people still have a way to survive?
Seeing that Kong Yingda was so nervous that everyone could hardly sit still, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but smile.
"So, I bet that the grain dealers in Guanlong and Shandong will mobilize all their strength to bring grain and come day and night."
Things are so helpless. If you mobilize the power of the court, this matter may be extremely difficult, but if the benefits are enough to make people jealous, then private power will deliver food to you with an efficiency that will stun the court.
Come in front.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but glance at Wang Zi'an again.
This young man is really amazing. No wonder His Majesty values him so much. He really has some discernment. He has been in the court for several years and has been beaten and experienced. He is definitely an amazing person. If nothing else, but this one
His judgment on identity has exceeded that of most officials in the DPRK.
Well, if you know the truth, you can consider promoting one or two.
But now?
Or let him suffer some setbacks.
After all, you are still too young and naive. Do others go to great lengths to transport the food just to sell it to you at a low price for charity?
No matter what Changsun Wuji thought, Wang Zi'an's analysis gave Kong Yingda and the two girls some confidence, and the expressions on their faces improved significantly.
"Since you said that, I can rest assured——"
Kong Yingda looked at Wang Zian with a smile.
"Where's Zian? I came here today. I actually want to ask you for the name of a trading company - after all, you are the real founder of this trading company. You came up with the resources, technology, and ideas. We just followed.
Running errands——”
What?!
Changsun Wuji instantly raised his head, his eyes moving back and forth between Wang Zi'an and Kong Yingda's faces in surprise.
Kong Yingda just said that the technology and ideas were all proposed by this Wang Zian?!
Doesn't that mean...
The technology of using charcoal to remove poisonous smoke that Your Majesty mentioned came from the hands of this Wang Zian!
Changsun Wuji, who wanted to understand this, looked at Wang Zi'an with inexplicably complicated eyes.
He thought of the 10% of the shares he had exchanged from His Majesty, and of the 50,000 copper coins he had sent to His Majesty's inner palace, and pulled more than a dozen carts.
Is this all the work of this young man in front of me?
No wonder His Majesty treats him so favorably!
Just this donation of technology is enough to solve the serious problem of His Majesty's treasury being empty.
This Wang Zi'an is so courageous and scheming!
If he could really become his daughter's son-in-law, it might not be a good thing.
I just don’t know if His Majesty’s so-called business is the same thing as what Changle and the others are doing now. I should ask him carefully when he has time.
If it is, I really have to reach out and give it a hand when the time comes, and I can't just watch it collapse. However, when the time comes, it can't just be 10% of the shares.
Have you ever seen a founder with the smallest stakes?
Of course, Wang Zi'an didn't know that someone was already interested in his shares in the trading company. At this time, he couldn't help but laughed in his heart.
"Mr. Kong, you are so humble - everything depends on you, and of course Miss Changsun and Miss Sun..."
When Princess Changle heard what Wang Zi'an said, she immediately smiled and waved her hand very boldly.
"It's easy to talk, where is Wang Zi'an, I will help you make a fortune——"
Wang Zi’an:……
Girl, where do you get your confidence?
"However, you don't have to belittle yourself. Look, you are good-looking and have money, so you can still be of some use..."
Seeing Wang Zi'an's face turned bitter, thinking that she had accidentally hurt the handsome little scholar's self-esteem, Princess Changle quickly comforted her kindly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This silly girl's behavior made even her best friend look down on her and secretly tugged on her skirt.
Princess Changle coughed slightly, "I understood it from my heart," and looked at Wang Zi'an with encouragement.
"Sister Ying'er thinks so too——"
Cheng Ying'er:......
I just like a good and honest girl like you!
The prince looked at Princess Changle happily, then looked at "Miss Sun" who wanted to pull Princess Changle under the table, and nodded happily.
"Okay then, I'll do my part -"
Wang Zi'an lightly knocked on the table.
"I think the reason why Mr. Kong and the two girls personally take care of the business affairs and want to open this business is not to covet the benefits, but to want the people to be stable and happy for a long time..."
When Kong Yingda heard this, he was immediately relieved. He twirled his beard and nodded with a smile. It was worth it that he had been so busy during this time. Princess Changle couldn't help but smile and nodded repeatedly.
This handsome little scholar speaks very nicely. I really want to take him into the palace.
Before everyone could think about it, Wang Zi'an smiled and said.
"I think our trading firm might as well be called Datang Changle Trading Firm -"
Changsun Wuji's eyes instantly glanced over, staring at Wang Zi'an thoughtfully.
This name is surprisingly long.
Is this an unintentional coincidence or a deliberate move? If it's the latter - thinking of this, a look of surprise flashed across Changsun Wuji's eyes.
This Wang Zi'an is really extraordinary.
With this name in front of it, this firm has an extra layer of protection. If others want to touch it, they must carefully consider whether they have enough weight.
Princess Changle naturally didn't think so much. When she heard that the name of this business coincided with her title, she immediately smiled and nodded her head in approval.
It's very prestigious to name it after yourself!
Well - my father, emperor and mother will definitely praise me, and other brothers and sisters will also envy me!
Beautiful.
Cheng Ying'er couldn't help but twitching her eyelashes and glanced at that hateful trapper.
I saw the man's gentle smile and natural expression, as if he really thought of it by chance, and suddenly I felt a little shaken in my heart.
Maybe, it's really just a coincidence?
