Li Shimin has already calculated that Li Xiang may contact the King of Wu privately, so Li Shimin has set up a dragnet around him and will never give Li Xiang any chance. The reason why he has not stopped him now is because Li Xiang has not been found yet.
, if someone discovers it, Li Shimin’s next move will be revealed.
"Go and say hello to Mr. Cui and tell him that I'll invite him to tea."
After much hesitation, Li Xiang still did not go directly, but thought of finding an intermediary. If there was an intermediary who could listen to both parties, it would probably be Mr. Cui.
It turns out that Cui Sanye is the top executive of the Cui family. After he cooperated with Li Xiang, although the Cui family's status has declined, compared with other big families, the Cui family can be said to have retained its core business and can
Taking away all the grain from Li Xiang also made the Cui family a lot of profits.
At the beginning, there was a lot of opposition within the Cui family. Some people said that Mr. Cui and Li Xiang were colluding with each other, causing no concern for the interests of the entire Cui family. This voice did become the mainstream, but as time went by, they
People also discovered that Mr. Cui’s choice was correct...
If you don't cooperate with Li Xiang, then the Cui family will be on the opposite side of Li Xiang. If you are on the opposite side of Li Xiang, go and see the Wang family in Taiyuan and the Li family in Longxi. They are also big companies that have been running for hundreds of years.
Can the family still make a little noise now? It has almost disappeared in various places, which means it still has a certain strength in their local area.
If you want the Cui family to become like this, then you can also follow their old path. Anyway, Li Xiang has a lot of energy, but can you still get up after failure? Several big families still have illusions and want to make a comeback.
, but the various combination punches of Li Shimin and Li Xiang left all the major families unable to fight back. Even if you can find a chance, you no longer have the strength to stand up.
Li Xiang is a monster that is rare to see in a century. To be an enemy of such a person is to make fun of the future of the family, especially a big family like the Cui family.
Third Master Cui is at his own silk and satin shop. Originally, Third Master Cui didn't do much checking on these businesses, but he had nothing to do recently, so he wandered around various shops. He estimated that it would be almost time for Li Xiang to come back, even if Li Xiang
If Xiang didn't look for him, he would have to find a way to get closer.
Cui Sanye is different from others. He has a forward-looking vision. Now the Cui family's industry is tied up with Li Xiang, especially in terms of food. If he doesn't get close to him quickly, what if Li Xiang has something else?
partners, that would free up the Cui family. It would not be easy for such a huge ship to turn around.
Bamin Tea House.
This is another business of Li Xiang. It was started when he was in Tubo. At present, there are more than 30 businesses across the country. The tea leaves roasted by Li Xiang are supplied here, but the price is very expensive. For example, the house
The pot of Longjing in there costs ten guan of money.
There are only six single rooms in the whole tea house, and the others are all in the lobby. If you want to go to a single room, there is a minimum fee. For ordinary people, you can only look up from the outside, but for Cui Sanye and Li Xiang
, a pot of tea costing ten dollars is nothing more than that.
"Sit, sit, sit, what's our relationship? Are we still using these false courtesy?"
When Li Xiang came in, Cui Sanye and Cui Yuncheng were already waiting. When they saw the two of them standing up to salute, Li Xiang immediately stopped them. This is a mutual etiquette in itself. If these two people sit down
If he doesn't move, then Li Xiang will definitely look for trouble, but he has already taken the initiative to salute, so you should stop him in the middle and don't let him finish the salute, so that both parties can save face.
If Li Xiang had just been reborn, the Cui family did have this privilege, and they could even be on an equal footing with the royal family. Li Xiang was also very angry at that time, but after more than a year, the vigor of all the major families has been wiped out.
After it's smoothed out, if it's still the same as before, then you're just waiting to be taken care of by Li Xiang.
"His Highness has returned triumphantly from Tubo. My uncle and nephew were supposed to come to congratulate him, but His Highness should be preparing for Goguryeo these days, so we didn't bother him. We only saw His Highness today. It's really our fault.
"
Cui Sanye said with a smile. Cui Yuncheng quickly poured a cup of tea for Li Xiang, and then brought it to Li Xiang very respectfully. The two were enemies before, but after getting along for a period of time, Cui Yuncheng felt not only
There is no resentment, but it feels like there is no acquaintance without fighting. If the first group did not make trouble with Li Xiang, how could they be the first group to cooperate with Li Xiang? Can the Cui family still hold on to this position now?
"I should have met my old friends earlier. This time on the Tubo Plateau, I will remember the Cui family's help to me. I will treat it as a favor that I owe you. If anything happens in the future, you can come anytime."
Come to me, this favor is still valid."
After Cui Sanye, uncle and nephew heard this, they were secretly happy in their hearts. Ordinary people saying that they owe you a favor may not be of much use. At most, they just help you with a job or something, but Li Xiang is different.
, this is the third person in the Tang Dynasty. The most important thing is that he still controls the monster of capital. When he says he owes you a favor, you will benefit from it endlessly in your life.
"We are all a family. There is no need to be so polite. The Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo is about to begin. If His Highness has anything to tell us about our duties, just say it."
After dealing with each other for a long time, Mr. Cui also knows what kind of character Li Xiang is. He will never come to you for tea. Even if it is a relationship, he will not be able to do so at this time. The two parties have cooperated more often.
, it’s better to go straight to the topic, and it’s not too late to talk about these gossips after you finish talking.
Li Xiang nodded after hearing this. Originally, he was straightforward, but he didn't expect Cui Sanye to be more direct than him now. Could it be that the efficiency mentioned before has been learned by others? Instead, he has forgotten it.
"Since Third Master has said so, I won't hide it anymore. This time during the expedition to Goguryeo, Third Master should know that I feel a little uncomfortable, right?"
There was a trace of sadness on Li Xiang's face. Cui Sanye and Cui Yuncheng looked at each other. They immediately understood what was going on. It was just that Li Shimin had given Li Xiang eye drops. It seemed that it was time for us to take action.
