Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

If the cloth was suddenly cut off at this critical moment years ago, maybe there will be a series of bad reactions, troubles and the like.

When the time comes, the historian will write a note in the history books, and his reputation will be ruined.

Now, these worries are unnecessary.

He thought for a while and said: "Now, Baiqisi has found out that the people in all parts of the Tang Dynasty are panic-stricken. The people are not at peace because they can't buy cloth. I have been worrying about it. Now that it's all over, cotton cloth has come out, and the most urgent thing is to calm people's hearts... Come here, immediately draft an imperial edict and announce it to the world, saying that the West Datang Company has invented cotton cloth. Don't be impatient for the common people... By the way, I also thought of a way, that is, the imperial court organizes manpower to buy cotton cloth from the Western Datang Company, and sends them to various places in batches, and the local government organizes sales by themselves, and the prices are all unified at the local price. It is twice as much linen as before, so it can comfort people's hearts."

The ministers were shocked when they heard this.

According to His Majesty Li Er's intention, it is up to the imperial court to announce the news of the cotton cloth to the world.

At that time, everyone in the world will know about cotton cloth, and the cotton cloth of West Datang Company will not be sold.

This article is to stabilize people's hearts, and everyone naturally has no objections.

But the second one is to let the cotton cloth official sell it directly.

That's different, it's tantamount to mobilizing the power of the entire Datang government to help the West Datang Company sell cloth.

After that, the West Datang Company will not be able to soar into the sky?

But what does this have to do with us?

Many people present, their minds came alive.

Wang Gui stood up and said: "Your Majesty, absolutely not, whether it is linen or cotton, it is a matter for merchants. Now, how can the government be allowed to sell cotton... If this matter gets out, how will people in the world think about it?" ? What will future generations think of it?"

Hearing the words, other ministers were preparing to object.

But seeing Changsun Wuji laugh out loud.

"Hahaha……"

Changsun Wuji's laughter echoed in Ganlu Hall.

Then, he said loudly: "Master Wang, you are wrong..."

Ok?

Wang Gui was taken aback.

Didn't Changsun Wuji always oppose Chen Chu before?

Now, the West Datang Company is making money, but the West Datang Company belongs to Chen Chu.

Why didn't Changsun Wuji object?

Just when he was puzzled, he only heard Changsun Wuji say: "Lord Wang, you are wrong. The mistake is that you think that His Majesty wants all local governments to sell cloth for the West Datang Company. Cotton cloth from the West Datang Company, stabilize the situation..."

"Everyone in the Tang Dynasty is hoarding linen. This is a well-known fact, and the common people are panicked because of this... At this time, even if there is cotton cloth, in a short period of time, the strength of the Western Datang Company cannot expand to the whole country. All over the world, in this way, many merchants and gentry will buy cotton cloth from Chang'an City, transport it to various places, and sell it at a high price. At that time, the common people will have to pay a high price to buy it. How can some poor people afford it. "

"With the government, it's different. The government in various places can solve this problem as long as they transport the cotton cloth as fast as possible. Merchants and gentry see that there is no profit, so they naturally give up the idea of ​​reselling cotton cloth. And a rich family like the Zheng family, seeing that the linen will be replaced by cotton, naturally cannot sit still, so they will sell the linen..."

"By then, the cloth crisis will be resolved."

Changsun Wuji is clear and logical.

Everyone smacked their lips, not knowing how to refute.

Li Er was also a little stunned.

In fact, when he gave the order just now, he didn't expect so much at all.

Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji's analysis was so accurate.

Oh, the auxiliary machine is really a good courtier.

Li Er nodded and said, "Yes, I think like the auxiliary machine... The auxiliary machine is right, dear dears, what do you have to say?"

Everyone doesn't speak.

If you don't speak, it's the default.

Li Er immediately said: "Let Xuanling handle this matter."

Fang Xuanling said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Er waved his hand: "My dear friends, let's leave today, I'm tired."

All the talents left the Ganlu Hall one after another.

Wang Gui walked forward and stopped on purpose.

He is waiting for grandson Wuji.

As expected, Changsun Wuji stepped forward.

Wang Gui asked puzzledly: "Master Changsun, as far as I know, you have always opposed Chen Chu before, why would you speak for Chen Chu today?"

The corners of Changsun Wuji's mouth twitched: "Master Wang, what are you talking about? Of course, the West Datang Company belongs to Chen Chu, and His Majesty's idea of ​​selling cotton cloth can benefit the West Datang Company, but... This time, I didn’t speak for Chen Chu, what I said just now in Ganlu Hall, I spoke from the bottom of my heart, I did it for the sake of Tang, for His Majesty, and for the people of the world..."

Changsun Wuji wished he could show Wang Gui his heart.

Wang Gui nodded when he heard the words, and said in admiration: "Oh, my lord, I misunderstood you before. My lord has been concerned about the country and the people all his life, which is really admirable."

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and pretended to say, "You don't have to admire me, I just did what I should do..."

After all, he walked away.

Wang Gui and the others watched Changsun Wuji leave with admiration in their eyes.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji's image was incomparably majestic.

……

But Changsun Wuji came to the gate of the palace, jumped into the carriage, and hurriedly said to the coachman: "Hurry up, go to the cotton factory in the north of the city, the old man wants to find Chen Chu, there is something important to discuss..."

The coachman asked curiously: "Master, you and Ping Xibo don't have much contact with each other, why are you so anxious to find Ping Xibo today?"

Changsun Wuji's face darkened: "What do you know? The West Datang Company is about to skyrocket. I also have shares. How can I sit and ignore it? Today is really dangerous. If the old man didn't stand up and speak out, I'm afraid The official sale of cotton cloth is about to die..."

What kind of state, what kind of majesty, what kind of people are secondary.

Most importantly, benefits.

All benefits.

This time, West Datang Company will definitely make a steady profit without losing money.

But as an old goblin for many years, Changsun Wuji thinks more.

He also wants to do something bigger.

Therefore, he desperately wanted to see Chen Chu.

Soon, the carriage left Chang'an City and headed straight for the cotton factory.

Cotton factory gate.

The carriage had just stopped.

Changsun Wuji couldn't wait to jump down.

He caught a person and hurriedly shouted: "Where is Chen Chu? Quick, take me to find Chen Chu..."

……

Chapter 335 As long as I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassment is others

The cotton factory of the West Datang Company was built near the coal mine.

Originally, this place was just a barren hill.

Today, people come and go, cars and horses are noisy, and various buildings are row upon row.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help sighing with emotion: "These were all the land of my eldest grandson's family..."

The guard next to him couldn't help but said: "Master, these lands belong to our eldest grandson's family. Why should Naping Xibo take them? This West Datang Company should also belong to our eldest grandson's family..."

This guard is also surnamed grandson, so he naturally wants to protect his own interests.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help being annoyed when he heard this.

He glared at the guard and said, "It's true that the land belongs to the Changsun family, but in the hands of the Changsun family, can this land become so prosperous?"

The guard shook his head, and said again: "Isn't there still a young master? The young master is a few years older than that Ping Xibo, why can't the young master do what Ping Xibo can do?"

puff.

Changsun Wuji almost vomited blood.

It's so frustrating, old man.

He clutched his chest and said, "My son, that bastard, used to only know how to spend time and drink, but didn't know anything. After getting acquainted with Chen Chu, he reluctantly changed his temper and made a lot of contributions. Now, in the West Datang Company, he follows King Yue Start to set up a business, you let him start the West Datang Company? Let him start the match factory? Let him start the Meishan Coal Mine?"

Guard: "..."

If you compare goods, you have to throw them away, and when you compare people, you are more popular than others.

But after thinking about it, Changsun Wuji was no longer angry.

Although Chen Chu married Princess Changle, who was originally my eldest grandson Wuji's daughter-in-law, and occupied a large area of ​​the eldest grandson's family, but my eldest grandson Wuji was not angry at all.

In fact, the reason is that the current eldest grandson's family has gradually been tied to the same boat as Chen Chu.

Not counting the past, this cotton cloth business alone gave Changsun Wuji hope.

Judging from the current situation, it will be a matter of time before the West Datang Company takes over the cloth business of the whole world.

And the eldest grandson's family is also one of the shareholders of West Datang Company.

One glory and one glory.

While talking, Changsun Wuji had already come to a courtyard and met Chen Chu.

Chen Chu was half lying on a wooden recliner under the eaves, and a beautiful woman with a beautiful face, but not from the Tang Dynasty, was gently squeezing his shoulders.

This woman is Angsi.

Although Li Lizhi had accepted Ansi, Chen Chu was allowed to take Ansi to the Nanshan mansion.

But Chen Chu thought about it, and still left Ang Si in the cotton factory.

For one thing, when I go to Meishan in the future, I won't be too bored and have nothing to do.

Secondly, Ansi turned out to be a hidden business master.

Therefore, when Chen Chu was not in the cotton factory, Angsi was here to take care of it.

"Cough cough..."

Suddenly there was a sound at the door.

Chen Chu turned his head and saw Changsun Wuji who was out of breath, so he waved his hand to let Ang Si go down first.

"Cough cough..."

Changsun Wuji coughed again.

Chen Chu turned over and stretched.

"Hey, isn't this elder brother Changsun? I heard that the New Year is approaching and the court is very busy. You, the Sikong of the court, still have time to come and see me?" Chen Chu greeted with a smile.

"Cough cough..."

Changsun Wuji coughed again.

Chen Chu's complexion changed, and he said, "Brother Changsun, you... are you infected with tuberculosis? Go away, stay away from me, don't infect me..."

Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes.

He stepped forward and said, "You brat, why don't you know what to do? This old man is in good health and can kill a head with one punch... Hare, how can there be tuberculosis..."

Ha ha.

Can kill a hare?

Are you proud?

Chen Chu sneered.

But Changsun Wuji sat down carelessly, picked up the teapot on Chen Chu's desk, and poured tea for himself.

Then he took a deep look at Chen Chu, and then said slowly, "Chen Chu, I have something to discuss with you."

"Brother Changsun, please tell me."
