Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 216;

"There is one more thing. I don't know if Prime Minister Gao has any definite news."

Dong Zixiu, the person in charge of the capital of the Dong family, suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, the heads of the three families who came with him all showed doubts.

Regarding the matter of papermaking and printing, there is still no news outside, and he will know that it is Dong Guifei's message.

In fact, he didn't really believe it in his heart. He knew how complicated the papermaking process was, and he was confident that if he didn't get his family's true inheritance, no one would be able to do it.

As for printing or something, he believed that it might be possible.

After all, this woodblock printing is not a secret. Many people can do it, but the cost is relatively high. His Dong family can monopolize more than [-]% of the world's books, relying on the accumulation of many years of inheritance.

Even if the royal family wants to replace them, it cannot be done easily.

"The truth is also heard, but whether it is true or not, the truth is still uncertain."

"However, it is not without reason."

Hearing this, Dong Zixiu was silent for a moment, nodded slowly, then stood up, and cupped his hands at Gao Yanming.

"In that case, I will take my leave first."

Dong Zixiu quickly turned and left.

The three people who came with him were a little confused.

"Gao Xiang, you guys"

Just as Han Jingcong was about to ask, Gao Yanming on the opposite side waved his hand.

"Leave this matter to the Dong family."

The three immediately stopped making inquiries.

"Gao Xiang, I also have one thing I want to ask."

Luo Shanping, the person in charge of the Luo family in Guanbei in the capital, suddenly spoke.

Gao Yanming nodded, and Luo Shanping immediately said what he wanted to ask.

The Luo family in Guanbei is a relatively special family. They are also the four major families. The age of their inheritance is far from being comparable to the other three families.

But the strength should not be underestimated. After all, it took only a few decades to make great progress all the way, surpassing many aristocratic families and becoming one of the top four. This ability is not ordinary.

Each of the four top families has a business that can affect and shake the capital of Dongzhou.

The Han family mentioned earlier controls the salt industry, the Dong family controls the books and most of the scholars, and the Luo family is the largest grain merchant in Dongzhou, and the grain they handle every year accounts for half of Dongzhou's total output. .

In addition to the above three families, there is also the Jidong Wu family, which controls [-]% of the world's iron ore and advanced iron smelting technology.

It has to be said that judging from the things in the hands of these four families, the Dongzhou royal family is really a bit of a failure.

No wonder Emperor Hongwen always wanted to get rid of them.

In a country, the most basic and important gate of life is in the hands of others, how can the royal family who are the masters of Dongzhou feel at ease?

Following Luo Shanping's words, Gao Xiang pondered for a moment.

"This Lu family can't move for the time being, at least not on the surface."

As the largest grain merchant of the Luo family, the business in their hands is not only grain, but also the wine industry.

The Lu family, the Wen family, and the Dachang Princess' Mansion, the spirit that the three families worked together had a great influence on their family.

However, in just one or two months, almost [-]% of the wine market in the capital has been lost.

If this continues, the Luo family will no longer have a foothold in the wine industry in the capital.

Even, once the spirits expand outward, their family's liquor industry all over the country and even abroad will be destroyed.

"However, with the Luo family's strength, it's not difficult to find trouble for them secretly."

Of course Luo Shanping knew this, but if it was just the Lu family, they would have killed it long ago.

But there are also the Wen family and the Dachang Princess' mansion, which is a bit difficult.

He came here today, on the one hand because of the wheat, and on the other hand because of the wine industry.

He wanted to ask Gao Yanming for a solution.

But now it seems that Gao Yanming didn't intend to intervene, but just let them do things secretly.

There was no practical suggestion at all, which made Luo Shanping a little unhappy.

The four aristocratic families wanted to join forces, and Gao Yanming had taken advantage of their Luo family in recent years.

As if sensing his displeasure, Gao Yanming smiled lightly.

"Your Majesty's attitude in the past two years is not a secret. You are also well aware of the food crisis this time."

"At this time, if we go to make trouble, it is undoubtedly to give a handle."

Hearing what he said, Luo Shanping felt a little better.

"However, since you asked for the truth, the truth will definitely show you a way."

"The Dachang Princess' mansion is not only for Her Royal Highness, but also for the consort, and the Lin family."

Luo Shanping's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, the Lu family was backed by the Wen family and the Dachang Princess' mansion, and with Emperor Hongwen's current attitude, they really couldn't take the initiative to target the Lu family.

But what if something goes wrong within them?Then you can't blame them.

With such a huge profit in the wine industry, some people will always be tempted.

"Thank you for your advice, High Commissioner."

Luo Shanping cupped his hands in thanks.

"Why is Yaoyao free to visit grandpa today?"

In the Lu family's house in the capital, Lu Yaoyao came over early in the morning.

Today is the Great Court Meeting. According to what Wen Songtao said yesterday, His Majesty has already received the news from Jin Yang, and today's Great Court Meeting must be the best time to break out.

When she returned to the capital today, apart from visiting the old man, she just wanted to see what would happen to the Gao family this time.

"I haven't visited my grandfather for many days, are you still used to it?"

"Very good. I know you are busy. I heard from your uncle yesterday that you made another big move."

Having said that, Mr. Lu paused and said, "Yaoyao, Grandfather has something to say to you."

"Well, you keep talking, just listen."

She could probably guess what the old man was going to say.

This time she made a lot of noise, once it is fully revealed, it will definitely offend countless aristocratic families.

There are also these four top families.

"Your approach this time is very unwise. We can't provoke aristocratic families."

When Mr. Lu said this, there was no reproach in his tone, only worry.

"I know, but sooner or later there will be such a day."

Hearing this, Mr. Lu fell silent. Of course he knew that there would be such a day sooner or later. After all, with the Gao family around, it would be a matter of time before he and the great family would make enemies.

It's just that he didn't expect Lu Yaoyao's movements to be so fast.

"What is my grandfather worried about?"

"Although the family is powerful, it is not unshakable."

She has never paid much attention to the aristocratic family. As long as she wants to make better things in their hands, she can make better every minute.

It is no exaggeration to say that if she exerts all her strength, she will be able to dig out the roots of the aristocratic family in the shortest three years, and the longest five years.

If you don't do it, you are just worried that the aristocratic family will target the Lu family in the process.
