Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 307 Cui Daohuai's True Intention

"In this way, no matter whether it is the common people or the wealthy businessmen, they will honestly deposit money into my Datang Bank. At that time, no matter how the family blocks it, it will not be effective. If the family really dares to block it, it will definitely Hearts are lost!"

Xiao Yu also paced excitedly, his eyes shining brightly, "The imperial court issued a decree to let the money bank distribute salt tickets, and rich merchants can only buy salt tickets by saving money. This policy can be called a magic trick!"

"In this way, it not only solves the problem of corruption among lower-level officials, but also solves the problem of the bank. Only this one, the strategy of the aristocratic family will be self-defeating!"

Seeing that all the officials understood what he meant, Li Shimin nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, since all the gentlemen think it's good, then this matter is settled."

"The promotion and sales of sweet potato seeds, Shi Wen, you will discuss with the bank!" Li Shimin said to Xiao Yu first, and then looked at Fang Xuanling.

"As for the new salt policy and salt tickets, Xuanling, auxiliary machine, you two communicate with the salt manufacturing department and the bank respectively, and arrange this matter as soon as possible!"

For Li Shimin's order, the princes did not have any opinion, and they all agreed.

With the appearance of the two "artifacts" of sweet potato seeds and salt tickets, the common people and wealthy businessmen are crazy about them.

Even if the aristocratic family intends to stop it this time, it will be of no avail. Even if they offer some generous conditions, they will not be able to attract the common people and wealthy businessmen to continue to cooperate with them to boycott the bank.

For the sake of sweet potato seeds and salt tickets, common people and rich merchants deposited a large amount of money in the Datang bank. The family's offensive, as Xiao Yu said, collapsed without attack.

It's also because the aristocratic family can't afford the capital themselves. Compared with the imperial court, the little benefits they give to the common people and wealthy businessmen are like heaven and earth, so naturally there is no way to maintain it forever.

In Chang'an City, Cui Daohuai received a sternly worded family letter from the Patriarch and scolded him, and he rarely even stopped smoking cigarettes.

"Father, there is nothing we can do about this!" Cui Zheng was uncharacteristically not in a hurry this time, and even tried to comfort his father.

"The imperial court is here for the real thing this time. The schemes are repeated one after another, and all kinds of conspiracies follow one after another. With our strength, we are really overwhelmed when we fight against the imperial court!"

Cui Daohuai sighed quietly, "First, sweet potato seeds with a yield of more than [-] catties per mu, and then salt tickets that allow merchants to have the right to sell refined salt. Li Shimin's methods are really hard to guard against!"

"The head of the family still can't see clearly at this time. If he doesn't understand, he will fight hard with the court. How can the common people and merchants still stand on the same path with us? He is pushing people towards the court!"

"Yes, grandpa is right!" Cui Xiufang echoed, "The existence of Datang Qianzhuang is the trend of the times. Grandpa and father can understand it, but the owner of the house can't understand it. What should we do?"

Cui Daohuai waved his hand. Originally, Cui Xiufang wanted to say something more, but seeing Cui Daohuai like this, she shut up.

"Xiufang." Suddenly, Cui Daohuai looked up at his granddaughter, and his face became serious.

Hearing her grandfather's summons, Cui Xiufang hurried to Cui Daohuai, only to hear her grandfather slowly say: "Patriarch, grandpa has to go back to report the situation in person, and your father has to go back with me. Chang'an, I will leave it to you." Are you okay?"

Hearing Cui Daohuai's words, Cui Zheng was surprised, but he soon felt relieved. Cui Daohuai's stay in Chang'an was of no avail for such a big incident.

Cui Xiufang was surprised and delighted, and immediately replied: "Grandpa, father, please rest assured, Xiufang will do everything she can to not let grandpa and father down!"

In Cui Xiufang's heart, he has long wanted to take over the family business and take charge of it alone. After all, only in this way can she one day be able to stand on her own and control her own life, and now this opportunity is in front of her eyes!

"Okay, the business in Chang'an will be handled by you." Cui Daohuai smiled noncommittally, "We will go back quickly, and you can do whatever you want. Grandpa and your father are responsible for everything." Support you!"

"Yes, Grandpa!" Cui Xiufang excitedly knelt in front of Cui Daohuai and agreed.

"Also!" Unexpectedly, Cui Daohuai changed the subject and warned, "When your father and I are not in Chang'an, you and Xu Hui from the Prince's Mansion can walk around more. If there is a chance to get close to the Prince, don't let it go." !"

Hearing Cui Daohuai's last words of "don't let it go", Cui Xiufang subconsciously looked at her father, but Cui Zheng had a calm expression on his face, as if he knew it a long time ago, which made Cui Xiufang even more surprised.

In Cui Xiufang's view, her father has always hated the prince, and her grandfather's attitude towards the prince is not clear.

Recently, Cui Xiufang didn't even dare to contact Xu Hui because of the fight with the court, but she didn't expect to say such a thing at this time, and Cui Zheng had no objection at all!

Obviously, after this incident, Cui Daohuai has begun to make other preparations, and the relationship between Cui Xiufang and Xu Hui is an important part of it.

"Okay, you go down, grandpa still has something to discuss with your father." After finishing speaking, Cui Daohuai looked very haggard, and waved to Cui Xiufang, who immediately obediently quit.

After his daughter left the room, Cui Zheng said: "Father, do you really want Xiufang to do this? The matter between us and the court has not yet been decided!"

"The outcome has been decided, isn't it obvious enough?" Cui Daohuai raised his eyebrows suddenly, and a bright light shot out from his haggard eyes just now, shooting directly at Cui Zheng, and Cui Zheng's expression froze suddenly.

"The Patriarch can't understand the situation, and neither can you? Did you say what you said just now on purpose for the old man, or for Xiufang?" Cui Daohuai's words were full of sarcasm.

"The imperial court's methods this time are as swift as thunder. The Patriarch has already lost his position. If he continues to toss, he will not gain any benefits except for increased losses."

"Zheng'er, you have to know that we are the second house, not the big house. In the end, the big house won't give us a penny for our loss. What we have to do now is to stop the loss, otherwise you think why I took you away? By your side, let Xiufang stay?"

Hearing Cui Daohuai tell the truth, Cui Zheng's face suddenly changed, he dared not to be acting, but his father had been acting all the time, not only deceived himself, but also deceived the owner.

I'm afraid he had already made up his mind to make peace with the imperial court, but he didn't know when this idea was formed...
