The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 147 Black Hearted Li Shimin (Ninth Change)
"Shu Jie, what's the third thing? Tell me about it!"

Li Shimin completely ignored what Wei Zheng said. Although he knew that some of his words were not pleasant, they were all sincere.

But he couldn't control himself.

Sometimes, people are like this too. They clearly know that it is wrong to do so, but the reaction they make makes people wonder, and they regret it in the end. If they knew who to listen to.

For Li Yin, he felt a lot of displeasure, and also a lot of shock.

Li Yin keeps creating, while Li Shimin keeps lying.

Therefore, even if Wei Zheng came forward to speak for Li Min, he still held a negative attitude.

"About the Turkic merchants coming to Tang."

Turks are divided into East Turks and West Turks. East Turks were destroyed by Tang three years ago.

Only the Western Turks are left, and the following Turks refer to the Western Turks.

In the later stage of the Turkic and Tang Dynasties, the trade was still very smooth. Everyone got what they needed and developed themselves, and everyone was happy.

Li Shimin wondered, what is the purpose of this Turkic businessman coming to Tang Dynasty?

"What business can happen between our two countries?"

"I heard that they intend to buy a large amount of porcelain back. I heard that they want to exchange it with sheep. I thought, why not mobilize the merchants in Chang'an City to start mass production of porcelain and exchange it for sheep?"

It turned out that what Wang Gui wanted to say was this.

Li Shimin didn't feel anything.

Wei Zheng said:

"There are not many merchants in Chang'an City that can make porcelain. I heard that the Wang family is very skilled in this business and has a series of procedures. By the way, the three families of Lu, Cui and Zheng seem to be among them."

There is something in Wei Zheng's words.

Picked out directly.

How could Li Shimin not understand?
But the Turkic asked for porcelain by name, and probably only the four of them were the best producers, with the Wang family as the head.

The meaning of Wang Gui's words is very clear. He wants Li Shimin to nod and let the Wang family do this business.

And Li Shimin will definitely get some benefits.

Otherwise, how could I give this thing to you?
Although it is a trade between countries, once Li Shimin says no, everything will be over.

This is also something that Wang Gui fears.

"I know this!"

Li Shimin said.

But Wang Gui said:
"In Chang'an City, the quality of these four companies is the best, and the porcelain is used as an exchange. Is there no reason to give them the worst? I'm afraid there is only one such business. And they need too many varieties. Some daily necessities, such as It’s bowls and plates, you don’t need any of them, there are so many styles, and there are not many people who can make them all.”

This is a conspiracy, and the business has to be done for them.

Wang Gui was just saying hello.

Only then did Li Shimin feel that he knew it earlier, and he would not listen to Wang Gui's words.

What's next?
Take advantage of it?

It was Wei Zheng who came forward and said, "Your Majesty, this matter of exchanging porcelain for sheep can be done by the people, but the tax can be higher. After all, Turkic people don't have porcelain, so we can exchange more sheep!"

In the end, Wei Zheng is reliable.

Li Shimin was very happy that he could make such a suggestion.

This time, according to his heart, he will naturally agree.

It can be seen that Wang Gui's face is darkened.

Therefore, Li Shimin wanted to know what Wei Zheng was going to do.

"What do you think, Wei Zheng?"

"Your Majesty, we can extract two-tenths of the tax, or buy sheep at a low price! No matter who trades with the Turks, this principle remains the same!"

No matter what tricks you, Wang Gui, will make, the imperial court will benefit from it.

This is very in line with the current Datang.

"That's good. I think it's feasible to buy sheep at a low price. No matter who trades, the sheep must be sold to the imperial court. A sheep is worth five hundred coins!"

At that time in Datang, a sheep cost about one tael of silver.

And Li Shimin cut it in half.

It can be said to be very dark-hearted.

Wang Gui couldn't help it either.

The emperor said so.

What can he do as a courtier?

I can only say: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Hahaha! Good good!"

Li Shimin was very happy.

Fortunately, Wei Zheng was not let out just now, otherwise it would be bad.

"When did the Turks start buying? Where did they buy?"

"It is estimated that in the next few days, they will be purchased in the East Market."

"It's too late, isn't it?"

Li Shimin questioned.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the folks have received the news in advance and production has already begun."

Wang Gui said that he slipped the tongue, that is to say, he already knew about this matter, and asked the Wang family to wait for several big families to prepare together.

This man is really smart.

Li Shimin seemed to have seen through this person.

But what can be done?

Anyway, I have earned a lot of sheep for nothing, and when the time comes, I will keep them as food for the winter. It will be the best, and it will save the palace a fortune.

He can even sell it. Once he buys and sells it, he makes a lot of money again, and the treasury will have income again.

"Wang Gui, you are very good!"

Li Shimin said directly.

"This is also for Datang! It is what we should do to facilitate such a business."

Wang Gui responded shamelessly.

Isn't it for the Wang family?
At this time, it is clear at a glance who is good and who is bad.

"Okay, I don't want to say anything more. This order must be issued. Anyone who trades with the Turkic people to obtain sheep will be accepted by the imperial court at a price of five hundred coins! There must be no mistake!"

This is obviously to pluck the hair of the aristocratic family.

The aristocratic family does not have much profit. After all, it takes a lot of effort to make exquisite porcelain.

But after all, the quantity is too large and the profit is not much, but the quantity is large.

Accumulated, but also a lot of money.

Unlike Li Yin's Liulichang, it is produced directly on the assembly line, which is good and fast.

After receiving it, Wei Zheng and Wang Gui withdrew from the Taiji Palace.

The two walked together, but they didn't speak a word.

It seems to be on the bar.

As for this time, a figure appeared behind them.

It was an old man, an old man with glasses.

It was Li Yuan.

He murmured: "This matter must be let Li Yin know."

Regarding the matter of porcelain, Li Yin had to know, this is what Li Yuan is doing now.

As Li Yin's eyeliner, he can know the palace affairs even at home, and make preparations in advance.

……

The news quickly reached Li Yin's ears.

When he knew all this, a smile appeared on his face.

"So, we are about to develop again!"

He said.

Ji Ruxue didn't understand why Li Yin laughed like this.

It seemed that something great was coming, so she didn't ask much.

Li Yin then asked, "Where is the Turkic businessman?"

Zhu Shan trotted out.

"Mr. Zili, I'll investigate now!"

Following Zhu Shan's going out, something big might happen in Chang'an City next.
