After hearing Shangguan Yi's words, Li Min couldn't help but be stunned.
Didn’t you just think that I had offended the Wang family, one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes? Why now that it’s in your mouth, you’re going to die for offending me again?
Seeing the expression on Li Min's face, Shangguan Yi seemed to guess what Li Min was thinking, and couldn't help but explain: "Your Highness, the conflict between you and the Wang family has reached an irreconcilable level. In this case, as a dignified prince, you
, why should we be afraid of a mere Wang family? What's more, even if we are afraid, it is of no use."
"Of course, even if we want to punish the Wang family to death, we must borrow power! Not only must we borrow the power of the emperor, but we must also borrow the hands of other aristocratic families to achieve the purpose of weakening the Wang family."
Li Min couldn't help but said weirdly: "But the five surnames and the Seven Hopes are in the same spirit and advance and retreat together. If you want to use their hands to suppress the Wang family, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, right?"
Shangguan Yi smiled slightly and said: "The so-called connected branches are just because the benefits are not big enough. When the benefits are big enough, everything is possible!"
This, this kind of thinking is the thinking of later generations!
Hearing these words, Li Min couldn't help but look at Shangguan Yi with admiration.
Shangguan Yi continued: "Also, His Highness plans to improve printing technology and reduce the price of books to one-tenth or even lower than the original price. This matter must not be done by His Highness."
Li Min couldn't help but frown and asked: "Why is this? If it can't be done by me, who should be allowed to do it?"
Shangguan Yi Zhizhu said confidently: "Your Highness can print books, but you must not sell them in person. Because cheap books are equivalent to shaking the foundation of the family. If Your Highness sells them in person, it will inevitably cause a crazy counterattack from the family."
Hearing Shangguan Yi's words, Li Min couldn't help but look thoughtful, and then asked: "Then who should I find to do this?"
Shangguan Yi smiled sinisterly and said: "Changsun Wuji!"
Hearing the name, Li Min couldn't help but slap his thigh and said excitedly: "Wonderful!"
Changsun Wuji is the uncle of the prince and Li Tai, and Li Ke and he have never dealt with each other.
It would be great if we could drag this big bastard into the water.
However, Li Min couldn't help but worry and said: "But Changsun Wuji is a big scumbag. If you drag him into the water, will he be fooled?"
Shangguan Yi couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry about it, just leave this matter to the Emperor directly!"
Well, that's right. Leave this matter directly to the father to arrange it, and this matter will be foolproof.
After the exchange, Li Min was extremely satisfied with Shangguan Yi. He couldn't help but hold Shangguan Yi's hand and said sincerely: "Shangguan Changshi, you are my ovary!"
…
This time, in order to seize the opportunity, the Wang family used various means to mobilize a large amount of money.
Finally, I got a step ahead and bought countless soybeans at twice the price in various towns.
Then, they used the most primitive methods to extract soybean oil. The oil produced per kilogram of beans is only about seven or eight yuan.
But they feel that it is all worth it.
They extracted the first batch of soybean oil and decided to sell it at a price of 150 yuan per catty.
Now the cooking method has been completely spread.
Many of those wealthy families have already tried it themselves, and the fried dishes are indeed much more delicious than the dishes they cooked before.
Therefore, the soybean oil they produce has no worries about selling.
The cost price of making soybean oil is about 25 cents, and they can sell it for 150 cents. This is a huge profit of six times, which is enough for the Wang family to make a lot of money.
But just when they were about to open up the market and open up sales, they were shocked to find that someone was already selling soybean oil on the market.
The price is actually only fifteen cents per pound!
This price immediately stunned the Wang family.
This, how is this possible?
Fifteen cents per pound is far from the cost price. How could someone sell it at such a low price?
The Wang family couldn't help but hurriedly investigate, and finally discovered that the soybean oil sellers were actually the Cui family and the Zheng family. They were also involved in this business.
Of course, there are some scattered forces who are also doing this.
But the largest ones are these two.
Where do these two companies get their soybean oil?
Vaguely, the Wang family felt that it was specially sold to them by King Liang.
The King of Liang himself did not have sales channels, but the Cui family and the Zheng family did.
The King of Liang is borrowing the help of the Cui family and the Zheng family to compete with their Wang family.
The Wang family found the Cui family and the Zheng family and confirmed this.
Then the Wang family asked Cui and Zheng to increase their prices, but they ultimately refused.
First, they have already started selling, and a sudden price increase will have a certain impact on the reputation of both of them.
Second, King Liang was not only cooperating with the two families, but also with the Wu family.
Therefore, the two of them have no way to increase their prices.
As a result, the Wang family, the Cui family, and the Zheng family broke up unhappy.
Wang Gui, the head of the Wang family, was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
The Wang family put in so much effort to purchase so many soybeans at a high price, and then finally produced them, but what about now?
I was fooled again by that Liang Wang.
Now the Wang family is in a dilemma.
Others sell it for fifteen cents per catty, but theirs sells it for one hundred and fifty cents per catty?
Then the Wang family is no longer a fool?
Now the Wang family has two choices.
The first option is to buy all the soybean oil from Cui and Zheng, and collect as much as they can. When there is no more soybean oil on the market, he will take action and resell it for 150 cents per catty.
The Wang family has enough funds, and the price of soybean oil they sell now is actually lower than their cost price.
As long as they buy all the soybean oil in their hands, the Wang family can make a huge profit.
Of course, the risks here are not small.
The first is that the Wang family simply did not know what the oil yield of soybeans was in the hands of King Liang.
Anyway, in their hands, the oil production rate is only 0.670%.
If the oil yield rate in the hands of King Liang is extremely high, then King Liang will have a large amount of soybean oil in his hands.
In this way, if they buy them all, they won't be able to sell so much because the market demand may not be that much.
They were still not sure whether King Liang still had any hidden soybean oil in his hands.
In short, in the confrontation with King Liang, their royal family never had the upper hand.
In the end, the Wang family had no choice but to give in and choose the second option.
That is to lower the price, and together with the Cui family and the Zheng family, sell it at fifteen cents per catty.
