Chapter 286 The family wants a share!

"A group of evil beasts, let my master go to practice martial arts!"

Li Xuan was in a hurry, he knew that these bastards were a bunch of weirdos, and they could anger him as soon as they spoke, but Li Xuan still couldn't help it, and wanted to tease him.

"It's nothing, if you mess with me again, I'll wait for you!"

Seeing Li Xuan's sudden rage, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others hurried out.

Since the master can't find a way to make money here, they can only go to Xue Rengui to play with weapons!

The weather is so hot, they don't want to mess around.

At the same time, after Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo returned to Chang'an City, their expressions changed slightly before they reached the gate of the other courtyard.

At their door, there was a pile of carriages blocking up.

Looking carefully, they were all a group of familiar family stewards who greeted the housekeeper at the door, and then headed into the mansion under the leadership of the housekeeper.

"Your Majesty is really good at predicting things. These people have really sharp noses, and they came to the door so quickly!"

Inside the carriage, Zheng Mingde and Cui Hongmo looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces.

Afterwards, Zheng Mingde hurriedly said goodbye to Cui Hongmo.

Since so many people from Cui's other courtyard have come to visit him, there are also quite a few guests from his Zheng's other courtyard.

"Lang Jun is back!"

"Meet Cui Wulang!"

"Meet Chief Cui!"

"Cui has seen you all!"

Walking into the gate, under the surprise gaze of the housekeeper, Cui Hongmo glanced at the main hall, and couldn't help but take a slight breath of air.

The people who come here are really full!
After seeing each other, Cui Hongmo sat at the head seat, and waited until the butler finished serving tea to each guest.

Then he coughed lightly, and asked slowly: "I don't know if you all gathered in Cui's house like this, but what's the matter?"

After getting along with Li Xuan for a long time, Cui Hongmo was also affected.

"Back to Mr. Cui Lang, we are here for the tea leaves!"

A middle-aged man on the left stood up, bowed his hands to Cui Hongmo and said.

"What does Guanshi Liu mean by this?"

Cui Hongmo frowned slightly.

"Cui Langjun is waiting for me, why do you need to hide it so hard? The master behind the Jin tea shop that popped up in Chang'an City these two days is not Cui Langjun and the Zheng family's Balang, who else can it be?"

Liu Guanshi said with a light smile.

"Guan Liu was just joking. Mr. Cui is not prepared to hide this matter. You all know about Mr. Cui's purchase of tea before!"

Cui Hongmo arched his hands slightly, and replied slowly.

"It turns out that Cui Langjun bought so many tea leaves for this kind of fried tea!"

Hearing this, these people all showed surprise on their faces, as if they had just learned about it.

Seeing this, Cui Hongmo secretly sneered, but remained silent.

By this time, he already had a general idea of ​​the purpose of these people.

If it was before, in the era of aristocratic families, he might still be interested in cooperating with these aristocratic families and allowing them to share a share of the profits.

It's a pity that His Royal Highness King Jin now rules the world!
Seeing that Cui Hongmo remained silent, Guanshi Liu's eyes flashed with displeasure, and then he smiled.

"Mr. Cui Lang should also know why we are here. The Tang Dynasty is so big that the Cui family and the Zheng family alone can't handle it. I wonder if Mr. Cui Lang can give me these families and how many states and counties? What do you want from the family and the Zheng family?"

Around, people from aristocratic families all looked at Cui Hongmo with gentle faces, waiting for Cui Hongmo's reply.

They had experienced this kind of thing many times before.

Now, Datang is so big that some businesses cannot be managed by one family or two.

And among the aristocratic families, there is also a default unspoken rule.

However, today, Cui Hongmo is destined to disappoint these happy family stewards.

"Don't you all know that the Jin tea shop is the shop of His Royal Highness King Jin?"

Cui Hongmo didn't want to offend these family members too much, so he asked slowly.

"Cui Lang-jun, don't worry, I will naturally know about this matter!"

Guanshi Liu chuckled, and said: "However, no matter how evil the King of Jin is, he still can't handle business affairs. In the Jin tea shop, you can't rely entirely on Cui Langjun and Zheng Balang to manage things!"

"Then you may not have found out that behind the Jin tea shop, there are Qi Guogong, Su Guogong, Wei Guogong...even, there is someone from the Taiji Palace!"

Cui Hongmo said.

"This?"

Suddenly, in the main hall, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

If there is that person in the Taiji Palace, it will be difficult for them to handle this matter!
"This matter, you will know as soon as you check!"

Cui Hongmo sighed softly, cupped his hands slightly, and looked apologetic.

"Everyone, it's not that Cui doesn't want to do this, but that there are those people in the Jincha shop. There are many things that Cui can't do!"

"Ugh!"

Hearing this, Guanshi Liu and the rest of the family couldn't help sighing heavily.

Immediately, his face was full of distress.

From the booming business of the five tea shops in Chang'an City in just these two days, they can know how popular this new fried tea will be.

There are cheap ones and expensive ones, whether poor or rich, there is tea that can match their status!
It really can be drunk by men, women and children!

Even if there are those great Confucians suppressing it, it won't last long!
And when it is completely unstoppable, it is the time when this kind of tea becomes popular throughout the Tang Dynasty.

"Mr. Cui Lang, no matter what, even if there is that person behind him, all of you alone will not be able to set up Jin tea shops in every state and county in the country!"

After Steward Liu sat down, another steward from an aristocratic family stood up on one side.

"Boss Pei, Cui can't say for sure about this!"

Similarly, Cui Hongmo still looked ashamed.

"Mr. Cui was joking. There are 360 ​​prefectures in the entire Tang Dynasty, and there are 550 counties under its jurisdiction. With so many prefectures and counties, Mr. Pei can't believe it. You can send so many shopkeepers here?
According to the temperament of His Royal Highness King Jin, naturally he would not let the barbarians around him go. With the Cui and Zheng families alone, as well as those Duke and County Palaces, even if we can gather [-] shopkeepers, it is considered good. up! "

After hearing this, the eyes of all the family members could not help but look closely at Cui Hongmo.

"Exactly, Brother Pei's words are reasonable. Those few shopkeepers opened shops with glass and sofas. Now, they may not be able to gather [-] shopkeepers!"

"This statement is very reasonable, Mr. Cui Lang..."

"Everyone, don't be impatient!"

Cui Hongmo was also shocked.

He hadn't thought of this situation before.

"I would like to ask Mr. Cui Lang to be more considerate of this matter. After all, although there is competition between us and other aristocratic families, we are always in the same spirit, and we have to help each other in everything, so that we can pass it on forever!
"Exactly, this matter needs to trouble Mr. Cui Lang!"

Immediately, a group of people from aristocratic families stood up and bowed their hands to Cui Hongmo.

However, the eyes are full of relief, and there is no more regret just now.

"Everyone, don't worry, tomorrow Cui will go to His Royal Highness King Jin to explain this matter!"

Cui Hongmo bowed his hands and returned the salute with a solemn expression.

At the same time, Zheng Mingde was also facing the same situation in the Zheng family's other courtyard.

A group of aristocratic family stewards who had a good relationship with the Zheng family also gathered together.

……

The next day.

Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde hurried to Lijiazhuang again.

"There are 550 seven counties in the entire Tang Dynasty?"

Li Xuan looked at Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde with a confused face.

"Back to Your Majesty, that's right. In addition to the 360 ​​states, the tea shop alone needs about [-] shopkeepers!"

Cui Hongmo said cautiously.
