Datang Nongwang

Chapter 453 Miserable
truthfully.

Want to compete with others on price.

That really had to confirm Wang Ting's determination to covet Li Chongyuan's shampoo recipe.

Without this determination, this price war would definitely not be possible.

Even if there was a fight, Li Chongyuan probably suffered a lot.

After listening to Li Chongyuan's explanation, the old lady still didn't understand, "Yuan'er, how did you conclude that Wang Ting must get the shampoo prescription? If he gives up halfway, then you will suffer a heavy loss."

"Aniang, this matter, my child is not that capable. However, I am patient with this matter." Li Chongyuan said.

When the old lady heard about her eldest son, she immediately became even more curious, "What does it have to do with Ji'er? As far as A Niang knows, your elder brother has been very busy recently."

"Hehe, this matter started when I returned to Chang'an. When I knew that Wang Ting was buying a lot of saponins, I asked my elder brother to help me find out why Wang Ting was in a hurry to buy shampoo. And why do you covet the matter of the shampoo recipe. Aniang, do you still remember that Wang Zhong?" Li Chongyuan said slowly.

The old lady nodded, "Remember, what does this matter have to do with that Wang Zhong?"

"The relationship is very important. Isn't the eldest brother working in the palace, and Wang Zhong usually plays with Cui Li, the son of the Shangshu provincial official Wai Lang, and Lu Hao, the son of the provincial chief. No, it is up to the eldest brother." I found out something from these people's mouths." Li Chongyuan replied.

The old lady looked at Li Chongyuan, and there was some curiosity in her eyes, "Oh? Then you should talk to Auntie carefully, and Auntie is getting more and more confused now."

"Yes, Auntie. According to my eldest brother's inquiries, the Wang family seems to be choosing a principal in recent years, and this principal is said to be selected from among the third generation of the current Wang family. One is the speaker of the Wang family in Chang'an." People, that is, Wang Zhong from the third room of the Wang family. There is also the eldest room, and Wang Ting from the second room."

"These three people naturally began to scramble for power internally when they competed for the head of the Wang family. They even almost wanted to fight internally."

"And I entrusted my elder brother to help me inquire about this news from Cui Li and Lu Hao. Only then did my boy confirm that Wang Ting was eager to obtain the shampoo prescription, and it was probably also for the sake of the Wang family's palm." Because of the position of the person involved, the boy just took advantage of this opening to start a price war with the royal court." Li Chongyuan explained the cause.

And this antecedent is also the main factor for Li Chongyuan to launch a price war.

originally.

According to Li Chongyuan's idea.

This price war cannot be fought like it is now.

But when Li Chongyuan got the news, he immediately stepped up his horsepower and launched a price war against Wang Ting with a provocative behavior.

But Wang Ting thought that Li Chongyuan, or that the Li family didn't have much money to spend.

He even wanted to seize Li Chongyuan's shampoo formula.

Naturally, a price war followed Li Chongyuan.

But this dozen.

He couldn't hold back anymore, or he thought he was superior to others, and never thought Li Chongyuan had such strength at all.

This is not.

hit now.

Not only did Li Chong not lose on New Year's Eve, but he also made a lot of money.

And after Li Chongyuan talked about the main cause.

Then he slowly told the old lady about something else.

"Those common people and peasants also made a fortune for this, which can be regarded as returning to the people. And I also used a lot of helpers to let them go to the counties near Chang'an to sell saponins. In this way Well, those who Wang Ting sent to watch me naturally don’t know that those who sell saponins are still my people.” Li Chongyuan continued.

After the old lady heard it, she stared at Li Chongyuan as if she was looking at something strange, "Yuaner, after what you said, I really doubt that you are not my son."

As soon as the old lady said this.

Immediately, Li Chongyuan was terrified, thinking that the old lady had discovered something.

But just when Li Chongyuan was about to speak back, the old lady said again, "Yuan'er, it seems that after that incident, your character has become more mature. From the price war with the royal court this time, Come on, Yuan'er, your temper has stabilized a lot, and you can even understand the Taoism in it better than A Niang, alas, it seems that A Niang is getting old and can't keep up with Yuan'er's thoughts."

"Auntie is not old. The child has been taught by the mother all the time. If the mother has not been teaching the child carefully, the child probably would not have achieved what he is today. In the past, the child was ignorant and caused some troubles. I feel guilty for letting A Niang make things difficult." Seeing that the old lady just said something casually, Li Chongyuan immediately felt relieved, and quickly responded with some words.

The old lady smiled softly, looked at the housekeeper and said, "Yuan'er, after this incident, Auntie can finally rest assured. I didn't expect my son to be a farmer in Li Zhuang, except for the achievements in farming. In addition, the cunning one above the merchants also has some experience. However, you have earned so much money this time, do you have a plan how to use it?"

"Back to A Niang, money, it must be spent if you earn it. My child doesn't have any specific plans yet, but I have a plan in my heart." Li Chongyuan replied.

The old lady asked again casually, "What's the plan? Can you talk to Auntie?"

"Aniang, I'm just a rough idea on this matter, and it hasn't been formed yet. When it is formed, the child must write a detailed plan so that Aniang can review it." Li Chongyuan approached the old lady, helping to knead shoulder, while returning.

The old lady was enjoying Li Chongyuan's massage, and she was in a happy mood, "That's fine, after you write out your plan, you must show it to Auntie."

While my family was talking.

But Wang Ting got the news and was very puzzled.

Wang Ting, who was puzzled, looked at all kinds of news and ledgers, "Li Chongyuan hasn't moved yet? Are they still buying saponins?"

"Hui Erlang, there was news just now that Li Chongyuan's buying sites have been withdrawn, not even a single person is left, and it seems that he no longer buys saponins." The manager responded cautiously.

Wang Ting became suspicious, "Go and check again, I want accurate information. Also, go and find out where Li Chongyuan is at this time."

The steward left after he got his word.

Subsequently.

Many people started to search for Li Chongyuan's whereabouts.

Simultaneously.

Even Li Zhuang went there.

It's called a visit.

Wait for the evening.

All news gathered.

Wang Ting was dumbfounded.

In addition to being dumbfounded, it was more anger.

This is not.

In the courtyard, Wang Ting slumped on the ground in a lonely state, looking at the bills in front of him, as well as the contract he mortgaged to Zhenyuan Temple, and even the IOUs.

It all adds up.

He directly lifted his head high, but it was so heavy that he couldn't lift it up.

"It's over, it's over, hehe, hehe." Wang Ting knew that he was over.

Such a huge amount of wealth disappeared in ten days.

Even his property and store in Chang'an was fully mortgaged.

This is the property of his royal court.

The combined wealth of a dozen or so shops is nearly [-] yuan.

and.

Plus the money I got over.

Adding the two together, the total exceeds 15 Guan.

Plus these IOUs in front of you.

The 30 yuan of money, within ten days, turned into pieces of paper and became my own debt.

That 15 guan.

If you lose, you lose, and everything is zero.

But the 15 guan of money that he borrowed from Zhenyuan Temple is the life-threatening existence.

In the name of the Wang family, he borrowed 15 Guan from Zhenyuan Temple.

Not paying it back is another matter.

At least.

From now on, his royal court will be as far away from the speaker of the Wang family as possible.

The manager was also very frustrated, and said in a trembling voice: "Erlang, look for Sanlang, Sanlang must have a solution. He has lived in Chang'an for many years, and the master's family has entrusted most of Chang'an's property to Sanlang. At this time Erlang asks Sanlang for help, Sanlang will definitely not stand by and watch."

"Hehe, third brother, will he do it? Will he do it? He wished for me to end up like this, so how could he help me at this time." Wang Ting was very frustrated.

For losing the opportunity to compete for the speaker of the Wang family, at this time, he has no other choice.

The steward reached out to support Wang Ting, but was thrown away by Wang Ting, "You go, you have no future with me, go back to Jinyang, and report me to my grandfather. At least, I can save you. As for me At worst, let the people from Zhenyuan Temple beat me to death."

"Erlang, you are also Erlang of the Wang family, no matter how powerful the Zhenyuan Temple is, they dare not do anything to you. Erlang, just wait, I will find a way." The steward was impatient.

It doesn't matter if he is not in a hurry.

It's too big.

He is so big that he, the manager, may be directly killed by the master's family far away in Jinyang City.

30 yuan of money.

This is not a small amount.

For the entire Wang family, that is also a few years of profit.

Accidentally, he was planted in Chang'an City.

The steward rushed away.

But Wang Ting was sad and depressed, and laughed again and again, "Hehe, I am a member of the royal family, but I lost to a mud-legged son, lost to a bastard, I am unwilling, I am unwilling."

Dongcheng Wangjia Restaurant.

After the steward came here, he went straight to the backyard.

When he saw Wang Zhong, he knelt down and cried out: "Sanlang, please save Erlang, please save Erlang, because you are brothers, please save Erlang."

Wang Zhong suddenly saw a person running to kneel, at first he thought that the person was kneeling wrongly, but after hearing what the person said and taking a closer look at the person, he realized who it was.

"Mr. Ji, I said that I have been hearing from outsiders recently that the second brother bought a lot of saponins. It turns out that you are behind the scenes. Why? My second brother who has always been aloof also asked me Already?" Wang Zhong laughed.

For my second brother.

Wang Zhong didn't like it.

It can even be said that among their brothers, the fourth brother he dislikes the most is his second brother.

once.

In order to re-compete for things in Chang'an, his second elder brother fought with him.

At last.

The minister of the Wang family took Wang Ting, who was originally in charge of Chang'an, to the Shandong area, and he, Wang Zhong, came to Chang'an to be in charge as he wished.

then.

Overtly and secretly, it's all about you fighting over me.

But in recent years, Wang Zhong has been as stable as Mount Tai, sitting in Chang'an.

After many years.

The steward of his second brother came and knelt down and begged him to save his second brother. This obviously reminded Wang Zhong of something, and he felt very comfortable. He really wanted to see how downcast his second brother, who used to be arrogant, had become. the point.

Steward Naji was very sad.

But at such a juncture, he could only continue to beg, "Sanlang, Erlang is deeply in debt, and I ask Sanlang to support Erlang because you are brothers. The person in charge, Erlang will never compete, and even help Erlang. Sanlang, save Erlang."

unknown.

Puzzled.

Can't figure it out.

Wang Zhong didn't really understand what was going on after listening to Naji's steward.

some time ago.

I only heard that my second brother sent someone to Chang'an.

Then news came out that one of his elder brothers, Wang Li, had been exiled, and he himself wrote a letter and sent it back to Jinyang, wanting to inquire about the situation.

even.

He also sent people to inquire about the news among the officials who had a good relationship with the Wang family.

I didn't find out the news, but now I heard that the auspicious steward in front of me said that he would let himself save his second brother.

Wang Zhong really didn't understand what was going on.

Shortly after.

After Naji Guanshi explained the situation to Wang Zhong, Wang Zhong finally understood why Ji Ji asked him to do so.

"Go, take me to see my second brother." Knowing that this matter is of great importance, Wang Zhong no longer cares about the gap between the two brothers.

After steward Naji took Wang Zhong to the courtyard where Wang Ting was.

He saw his second elder brother, who had been defiant, sitting slumped on the ground like a lunatic.

And Wang Zhong lost his mind immediately after seeing many contracts and IOUs.

Others say that you don't have to worry about debts.

But with so many debts in front of them, even those who are not afraid of debts are still afraid.

This is not a debt owed by friends and nobles, it is money owed to the temple.

The Wang family may be able to pay back other people's money slowly, or even use the name of the Wang family to delay it, or even wipe it out directly in the name of the Wang family.

But the Wang family dared not owe money to the temple, nor dared to delay.

"Erlang, you have been deceived. The saponins, which belong to the countryside, are sold at such a high price. It must be that you were deceived by Li Chongyuan and some villains. Report to the official, This matter must be reported to the officials immediately." Wang Zhong was in a hurry.

On top of the IOU, the Wang Ting used the money borrowed in the name of the Wang family.

And what happened in Chang'an, which is the land under his jurisdiction.

Let's talk about it.

He, Wang Zhong, definitely has an unshirkable responsibility.

Wang Ting laughed like a fool, "The way of businessmen is to cheat each other, buy low and sell high, what's the use of reporting to the official. If you really want to report to the official, the official will not accept it. Moreover, all the transactions have been completed. The IOU was written by me personally, and even those purchase sites are not named in his name, Li Chongyuan, who shall we sue!"

Wang Ting felt miserable.

It's so miserable that I already know the truth here, but there is no trace to touch, let alone grasp the other party's handle.
