I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Target the most critical people.

Zhou Xiaosan was still calm, he put the business deed on the table, and smiled lightly: "How could you have the guts to say that you are the same as Mr. Zhengyang?"

The old man was taken aback.

It's not all business, why is it different?

"Let me do the math for you." Zhou Xiaosan spread out the business contracts and listed them one by one, "There are a total of 67 business contracts here."

"Bohai Sea, Turks, Nanzhao, Khitan..."

"Oh, Goguryeo and Khitan are gone, so these business contracts should be voided."

"The Qinghe Cui family's hands are really long, they have hands from all over the world."

Zhou Xiaosan sighed with emotion.

The old man's face was a little cloudy and uncertain. He didn't know why Zhou Xiaosan emphasized these things. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but...his life experience in the past few decades couldn't tell him what was wrong.

So he chose the safest method - to keep silent and wait for Zhou Xiaosan to attack.

Zhou Xiaosan smacked his lips and held up one of the business deeds: "The smallest of them bought [-] mu of land from Nanzhao?"

"Spend [-] guan of Tang money... Your Cui family can do business, which makes me envious."

One mu of land is worth five pennies. The price is not very expensive, and it is even cheaper than the average price.

"Goguryeo bought 420 acres of land, and used 35 guan of Tang money." Zhou Xiaosan took several other business contracts together, glanced at them, and read out the number that he had already calculated in his mind, "So you Is the Qinghe Cui family actually so rich?"

"35 guan... I took it out as soon as I said it."

Zhou Xiaosan didn't read the other business contracts one by one, he only said two copies, and there are still most of them left. It is conceivable how huge the cost is.

Millions of hits.

"My Cui family has been accumulating for hundreds of years, so it is only natural to have such wealth." The old man of the Cui family was a little impatient, and he opened his mouth to defend himself, "It's just a normal exchange of money for land. .”

In the end, he paused for a while, but still forcibly pulled Yin Xuan out.

"Isn't Lord Zhengyang doing the same thing?"

Zhou Xiaosan picked up the gavel and slammed it hard: "I've said it all, where do you have the courage to say that what you did is the same as Zhengyang Gong?"

The old man of the Cui family was taken aback.

Zhou Xiaosan asked, "What kind of money is this millions of money?"

"Yes... it is the money of my Cui family." The old man of the Cui family replied.

Zhou Xiaosan shook his head: "I'm asking you, are you buying the land with Tang money, or with Koguryo and Nanzhao currency?"

The old man of the Cui family replied: "It is Tang Qian."

Zhou Xiaosan sneered: "Don't you realize the difference between you and Zhengyang Gong?"

The Cui family was still full of doubts. They looked down on merchants. Naturally, they only had the most basic addition, subtraction, and multipliers in their minds, and they didn't know anything about basic financial knowledge.

"The imperial court minted those Tang coins." Zhou Xiaosan patiently explained, word by word, piercing their necks like blunt knives, "You use these Tang coins to buy land in other countries, these Tang coins It belongs to those countries."

"You have land, those countries have money, and what about me, Datang?"

"I lost a fortune of millions of dollars for no reason. Do you know what it means?"

Zhou Xiaosan's voice became fierce: "It means a railway that is thousands of miles long."

"It means a road of thousands of miles."

"It means... almost one-fifth of the imperial court's annual tax revenue."

As he said that, Zhou Xiaosan let out a sigh of relief, and said in a contemptuous tone, "Why are you talking about the same as Zhengyanggong? Zhengyanggong's branch in Kucha earns back tens of thousands of Tang money for Datang every year."

"You are just harming the interests of my Tang Dynasty and fattening you."

"What's this called... a... hooligan?"

Speaking of the last word, Zhou Xiaosan's majestic momentum suddenly collapsed, he turned his head, blinked at Yin Xuan, and asked him for help.

Yin Xuan fiddled with his rolling chin, and added softly: "The assets are outflowing."

Zhou Xiaosan nodded and repeated sharply: "That's right, it's the outflow of assets. Do you know how much loss this will bring to Datang?"

"Giving out millions of Tang money, in exchange for their country's land, this kind of behavior...how is it different from treason?"

Under the courtroom, the expressions of the kneeling Cui family members became distorted.

How could they have imagined that what seemed to be a very normal behavior in their eyes could still be labeled so big. The old man of the Cui family wanted to refute, but after a little thought...

They cannot refute.

This so-called transfer of assets abroad is a fact. It is also a fact that they spent millions of dollars out and did not earn a penny back.

Even because these real estates are at least a year old, the so-called "asset outflow" that Zhou Xiaosan said is even more solid.

Of course... Qinghe Cui's family is not the only one who has this kind of behavior.

Wumen Qiwang, Jiangdong, Guanlong... almost all famous families do this kind of thing, it's just a matter of more or less.

This knife is deadly, but can only be used once.

Li Shimin could only make Zhou Xiaosan aim at one and swing down. If there were too many targets, they might not all be killed. If they couldn't be killed all at once, they would unite and resist.

Let Zhou Xiaosan choose a target, beat the mountains and shake the tiger, and give them time to get back the money they spent. Even if they don’t use it, they still store it at home—although the court still can’t use it, at least it belongs to Datang’s assets .

The Cui family was silent for a long time.

Zhou Xiaosan knocked on the table, her tone was very indifferent: "Why, didn't you just talk back? Why are everyone silent and talking now."

The group of people in Cui's family still didn't speak.

They have no way to refute this point - they are very clear that the so-called asset outflow is the rule of the game established by the imperial court after they did it.

They are rules that are broken first and then followed.

Who can guard against this?
At this moment, the sound of the stool being dragged sounded, Yin Xuan stood up slowly, glanced at the business deeds on the table, and said softly: "The business deeds of Nanzhao and Turks, give me those, As for the price..."

Before Yin Xuan could speak, Zhou Xiaosan interrupted him: "As for the price, it will be supplemented by the money obtained from raiding Cui's family in the future."

This is also what Li Shimin meant, to give Yin Xuan some compensation.

Yin Xuan nodded and patted Rolling's head.

Rolling barked, he rolled and followed Yin Xuan, bumped into those little old men, rolled to the door with a grunt, got up and left with Yin Xuan.

From the beginning to the end, no one person or beast has looked at these people directly.
