Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

This person was Kang Jie who had just been rescued by Li You.

After coming out of Dali Temple, Kang Jie simply went home to freshen up, and then came to the palace to thank Li You.

After seeing Li You, Kang Jie immediately made a big salute, and then couldn't help but thank Li You for his kindness.

Li You quickly helped him up and said: "Chief Kang, there is no need to be so generous, what this king has done is to return your innocence."

"But in the end, you still couldn't keep your house. In fact, this king is also ashamed of the leader."

After Kang Jie got up, he continued: "Although the person who betrayed Datang this time was not from my clan, it was also from my caravan after all. If it is not the prince, let alone part of the house, it is my clan. The people who are still alive will probably be kicked out of Chang'an as well."

Li You shook his head again and said: "The Kang clan has made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty, even if they make up for their mistakes, it will not be the same result."

"This time is also the result of my failure to arrange in advance."

"But it's all the fault of that Kang Yandian. If he hadn't spent a lot of money, we wouldn't be so passive."

"I wonder if Chief Kang is interested in the position of patriarch?"

Kang Jie repeatedly waved his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. Kang Jie brought his people away from their homeland, in fact, to stay away from tribal disputes and to do what he likes."

"I have never been interested in the position of the patriarch of the Kang clan."

After Kang Jie refused, Li You did not push too much.

That was just a statement just now, if Li You really used his background to force Kang Jie to take over, he would undoubtedly create more enemies for himself.

Although Li You was not afraid of the enemy, he didn't want to get too much attention. What he said just now was nothing more than his own anger.

Li You went on to say: "However, this king can guarantee that in the future, people in your tribe will accept new learning unconditionally."

"You deserve it."

As soon as these words came out, Kang Jie was even more moved.

As the saying goes, a scholar dies for his confidant. At this moment, Kang Jie already regarded Li You as his true confidant and benefactor.

Li You asked Kang Jie to sit down, and then talked about his chance.

"Boss Kang, another big event this time when I come back is that Nanshi is about to open."

"For this market, I have three plans."

"You also know that the king's subordinates don't have any capable people in business, so I want to hear your opinion."

Then Li You expressed his thoughts on the Chang'an Third Market.

In Li You's plan, this South City will become an important layout to enhance the value of Xiuzhengfang just like Xinxue, and it will be the finishing touch to the layout of the entire industrial park.

Now Nanshi's hardware conditions have reached Li You's vision, but the follow-up software needs the support of Kang Jie and his contacts.

First of all, what a market needs are merchants. If there are no merchants, no matter how luxurious the decoration is, it is just an empty shell. No matter how gorgeous the building is, it is just good-looking but not useful.

Of course, in addition to Kang Jie, Li You will also gather several of his own workshops here, as well as Feng Shaoshi's garment workshop and Dou Dan's family's industries. He has great expectations for Nanshi, so there are more arrangements. .

After listening to Li You's thoughts, Kang Jie was immediately astonished by this idea.

"According to the idea of ​​the prince, after the opening of this Nanshi City, it will definitely become a leader in Beijing and a place where merchants gather."

"At that time, the merchants will definitely bring us to the South City, and the East and West City will definitely decline!"

Now there are two markets in Chang'an, East and West. The east market is mostly for inland goods, and the west market is mostly for goods from outside the Great Wall. The two cities have their own characteristics and bring together different businesses.

Before listening to Li You's plan, although Kang Jie had a lot of expectations for Nanshi, he was still a little bit worried.

Merchants do business by sticking together. If they are not popular, no matter how good the product is, they may not be able to sell it.

Especially in the era of Tang Dynasty, the news was blocked. Although it is said that the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, it sometimes happens that the pearl is hidden in the beginning.

Kang Jie has already made up his mind to spend ten years or more to build Nanshi's influence.

But now, after hearing Li You's plan, Kang Jie felt that Nanshi's popularity would probably be on the day of its opening.

Before he still had to pay the rent, Kang Jie also complained a little when he got up, but after listening to Li You's plan, he was already very satisfied with having the priority to choose a store.

"Originally, I wanted to reserve these best positions for the Shence Mansion. If Chief Kang Jie likes it, you can choose it too. You're welcome."

Since Kang Jie was asked to choose first, Li You naturally did not hide it.

Seeing Li You's generosity, Kang Jie didn't show him any courtesy, and immediately reserved the best and biggest seats.

At the same time, he also promised that he would earnestly implement Li You's ideas and make Li You satisfied.

Before leaving, Li You warned again: "You can tell the outside about the two parts of the front hall, but the third part must be kept secret."

Kang Jie nodded, this feeling of being cited as a confidant gave him an additional sense of responsibility.

Seeing Kang Jie leaving happily, Li You was also excited for a while.

This time before he came back, he was ready to receive the attention of the public, but he didn't expect that "Zhenguan Clan History" and "Zhenguan Law" would bring more shock to his return.

For such a result, although Li You was a little helpless, he was even more excited.

This will be the first head-to-head confrontation between him and a major family, and it will also be his first step in dividing the family from within.

After Kang Jie left, Li You summoned Yu Huatian and asked, "Is there an appointment with the person I'm going to meet tomorrow?"

"Most people in Chang'an now know that I'm back, so we must be careful in our actions."

Yu Huatian nodded and said: "It has been arranged, and I guarantee that it will not be discovered by others."

"Don't worry, my lord."

Just as Li You predicted, the news of his return to Chang'an had already spread throughout the residences of the major families in Chang'an in the first place.

In the mansion of the Wang family in Taiyuan, his two sons had already come to his side.

The eldest son Wang Chongji said: "Father, this time King Yan's return should not be just for the sake of Kang Jie!"

Wang Gui nodded and said, "Of course it won't be that simple."

"After the Shence Mansion caught fire, King Yan left the capital for three years, and now he has a purpose in coming back."

Wang Chongji immediately asked again: "Could it be that he found out what happened back then?"

Wang Gui shook his head again and said: "It should be impossible. The matter back then was extremely secretive. Even if he wanted to investigate, he would find the person who set the fire. He would never find us here."

"I want to come here for my father, maybe it has something to do with what His Majesty ordered to compile."

"Although the content of these books is still unclear to me as a father, from the rumors, it is a great disadvantage to the family."

Hearing this, Wang Chongji asked worriedly, "Then father, what should we do?"

Wang Gui sneered and said, "The Art of War says 'preemptive attack'!"

"Since King Yan is back, let's prepare a big gift for him first!"

"Over the years, he has earned us a lot of money, and this time it's time for him to spit out all the money and profits."
