Wang Zi'an said and nodded calmly to Changsun Wuji.
He also didn't expect that Li Chengqian, a fool who didn't even know how to handle candy, actually took out the refined salt in front of Changsun Wuji, and could only mention it seemingly unintentionally.
What does the Changsun family do? They are the largest salt and iron merchants in the Tang Dynasty.
How could you let go of this refined salt so easily after seeing it?
Sure enough, even though he heard that it was made together with Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but stand up, stretched out his fingers, pinched a little, rubbed it gently, observed the quality, and in the end couldn't help but use the tip of his tongue to lightly
Licking it gently.
He couldn't help but let out a gentle breath.
This salt is many times stronger than the best refined salt in our own house or on the market, both in terms of quality, appearance and taste!
He dared to conclude that once this salt was released, it would definitely become popular among the upper classes and become a symbol of identity and status. Whoever could obtain the technology for making this salt would have the right to speak in the salt market of the Tang Dynasty.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.
"Master Wang, I wonder if you are willing to transfer your method of making salt to our eldest son's family - as long as you nod your head, our eldest grandson's family will accept your favor, and we will definitely not treat you badly in terms of price..."
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but glance at him, looked at him with a half-smile, and said in a calm voice.
"Listening to your tone, I know that you are a steward of the Changsun family, but if you don't know, I thought you were the head of the Changsun family——"
Changsun Wuji:......
I'm so mean, I'm pretending to be the chief steward of the eldest son's family!
Not only was I humiliated by this piece of shit on Dongshan Mountain, but I was also bullied by him here.
But Li Shimin didn't dare to show off his cards when he was face to face with Empress Changsun.
He could only forcefully smile and bow his hands to Wang Zi'an.
"As the chief steward of the eldest son's family, I can still speak my mind. If the prince has any requests, just ask them. After I return, I will definitely fight for him on behalf of the family head -"
Wang Zi'an stared at Changsun Wuji seriously for a while, then nodded gently.
"Okay, since you are a relative of Lao Li, I will give you a chance -"
Wang Zi'an said, gently stretching out three fingers.
"I'm not greedy either. I only want 30% of your grandson's family's salt income -"
You are not greedy!
Changsun Wuji almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
He stared at Wang Zi'an with a bad tone.
"Little friend Wang, are you sure this is not a joke on our eldest grandson's family?"
He deliberately emphasized the word Changsun family, and his eyes were full of warning.
Even Li Shimin, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this.
Li Chengqian looked at this one with worry, and then looked at that one. One was his uncle, his strongest supporter, and the other was Mr. Thick Legs whom he had just recognized. He hadn't been warm for a while, but he was about to be killed.
Are you forced to choose one of the two?
"How about joking, so what if you don't? This thing is mine. If I want to sell it, I can sell it. If I don't, I can't buy it. Could it be that your eldest son's family dares to buy it and sell it to me..."
Seeing Changsun Wuji's posture, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but gradually fade away the smile on his face. He snorted unhappily and said in a stiff tone.
"you--"
For how many years, no one has dared to talk to me like this, not even the current emperor. This ungrateful bitch is really so crazy!
Changsun Wuji was so angry that his chest heaved violently.
"What am I——"
Wang Zi'an said and glanced at Li Shimin lightly.
"Lao Li, for your sake, I will not argue with him today. If there is another time, be careful that I am not merciful -"
Li Shimin also didn't expect that this boy had such a bad temper that he would even light a fire.
He had to stand up awkwardly.
"Zi'an, look at what happened. There is no justice in buying and selling. If you don't want to sell, you won't sell. Why are you so angry..."
As he spoke, he frowned and glanced at Changsun Wuji, feeling a faint unhappiness in his heart.
Zian is his friend and his favorite son-in-law, but this guy doesn't even give him any face.
Looking at Li Shimin's somewhat cold eyes, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but feel startled, and soon an indescribable complex emotion arose.
Since the beginning of the army in Guanzhong, I have been by his side, making suggestions, going through life and death, and making great military exploits. I didn't expect that he would turn a cold shoulder to me because of a young man I had not known for a long time.
"Don't blame me, Mr. Wang, it's me who's being rude——"
Changsun Wuji's eyelids drooped, his voice was weak, and he could not hear any emotion or anger.
Wang Zi'an glanced at him and sat down lazily.
"It's easy to say - although I, Wang Zi'an, am alone and powerless, I am never afraid of trouble. I don't care who you are from the eldest grandson's family. This is the same sentence - put away your little thoughts and don't mess with me...
"
In front of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, Wang Zi'an was not willing to speak too harshly, so he gave him a slight hint of encouragement.
It made people anxious, let alone the eldest grandson, even Li Shimin was talking nonsense.
With just his martial arts skills, in this era when hot weapons are scarce, where can he go in the world?
Why bother yourself anymore and live with your tail between your legs?
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but turn pale when he heard this, he simply cupped his hands at Li Shimin and Queen Changsun, and walked away with his sleeves thrown away.
The kid with a yellow mouth really doesn’t know the heights of the world!
I originally thought about taking this opportunity to form a good relationship with this young man who is destined to rise, but now it seems that it is really unnecessary!
Li Shimin:......
Why did this talk fall apart?
"Lao Li, it's not that I don't want to give you face, you've also seen it -"
Wang Zi'an spread his hands towards Li Shimin, as if he didn't blame me.
Li Shimin:......
If you, you piece of shit, were willing to say something soft, you wouldn't be in such a stalemate!
I really didn't want to start the salt business, because the profits of this thing are too high, and it also attracts too much hatred.
Although I'm not afraid of trouble, I don't want to just fight with the sky, the earth, or people. Isn't it nice to have some free time to drink girls and live a happy and happy life?
There are so many ways to make money, so there is no need to get into trouble.
Besides, the money I earn now is enough.
Whether it's the coal company that's about to open, or the cosmetics workshop that's about to be launched in collaboration with Li Shimin, or the glass workshop that's being planned, they're all industries with huge profits.
Even if you don’t talk about these three, the profits generated by the steamed bun workshops that have been put into use all over Guanzhong are enough for you to live happily. If you don’t want to be the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, what do you do with so much money?
But now that things have reached this point, I'm afraid it won't work if I don't do it.
You are forcing me to steal money from you.
Thinking of this, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but sigh softly, stretched out his hand, twisted a handful of fine salt, and sprinkled it gently in front of Li Shimin.
