The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 401 Can only be fattened first

Chapter 401 Can only be fattened first

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Changsun Wuji's mind, but he couldn't figure out why Bai Jingyi did this?
That's all for him to do, why do these aristocratic families obey his wishes so much?Is it really necessary to give up this piece of fat in Fangshi?
According to the mercenary temperament of the aristocratic family, it is absolutely impossible to let go easily.There must be greater interests waiting for them.

Changsun Chong was pale and at a loss when he was yelled at by Changsun Wuji, and he was even more thinking: "Isn't this good news? Could it be that something happened in the court?"

"Otherwise, why is father so angry!? In the court, the only one who can make father so angry is Bai Jingyi!"

Chang Sun Chong approached slowly, and asked weakly: "Dare to ask father, but you are worried about that Bai Jingyi!?"

Changsun Wuji turned his head suddenly, stared at Changsun Chong with gloomy eyes and asked, "Did you know something and didn't tell me? Tell me what you know?
Chang Sun Chong was so frightened by the gloomy tone that he trembled all over. He hurriedly bowed to Chang Sun Wuji and said, "I don't have any definite news about my child."

"But I heard a few days ago that those aristocratic families are buying mansions like crazy, and all of them have sent the title deeds to the White Mansion!"

"After that, several aristocratic families bought a house again, and it is not far from the previous ones!"

"Although these houses are nothing to Chang'an City, the money to buy these houses is definitely a small amount. I'm afraid there must be tricks in it!"

There is no other way. There is too much noise about the purchase of the house by the aristocratic family. Chang Sun Chong can find out these land deeds from the government with just a little use of his contacts. Who did they give them to?

Changsun Wuji frowned after hearing the news, then eased, and frowned again.

Then he thought of the closure of the shops in Fangshi, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart, and he hurriedly said to Chang Sun Chong: "Go and check! What's wrong with these houses?"

"Yes!" Chang Sun Chong hurriedly took a group of followers to investigate the matter.

And Changsun Wuji stood in the courtyard, muttering to himself: "Then Bai Jingyi wants to break the rules of the market, and now the aristocratic family has withdrawn the shops again! Could it be that these aristocratic families want to open all the shops?" To Chang'an City!?"

Thinking of this result, Changsun Wuji suddenly felt chills down his back, and thought in his heart: "If this is true! Wouldn't it have completely monopolized all the economic lifelines of Chang'an City!?"

"When the time comes, there will be very few people in the market, and they will all be scrambling to go to those shops! If it takes a long time, wouldn't most of the money in Chang'an City end up in the pockets of aristocratic families!?"

"If this is the case, the background of the great family will definitely increase exponentially! At that time, it will be even more difficult for the Holy One to get rid of the great family!"

"pat~"

The teacup in Changsun Wuji's hand fell directly to the ground and shattered.The servants around were so scared that they didn't dare to approach at all.

When he came back to his senses, he didn't even look at the broken teacup on the ground, and hurriedly walked outside the mansion, and at the same time shouted loudly to the servants in the mansion: "Come and prepare the horse! Enter the palace immediately!"

This matter must be notified to the Holy Majesty. Although this matter can be regarded as a credit, Changsun Wuji hopes that the background of the aristocratic family will be weakened rather than strengthened...

At the same time, Changsun Chong had already returned to Fangshi. When he first came to Fangshi, he saw the shopkeepers of the Changsun's family shops, busy back and forth.

"Master! Great joy! Great joy!"

After a shopkeeper saw Chang Sun Chong's figure, he hurried over to ask for credit.

He held the account book in his hand very excitedly, and said to his elder grandson, Chong Gongsun, "After the shops of these aristocratic families have been withdrawn, our family's income for one hour is equivalent to an entire day's income!"

When Chang Sun Chong heard this, his eyes lit up, he grabbed the ledger, and kept flipping through it. The more he flipped through, the more the smile on the corner of his mouth rose.

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good!" Chang Sun Chong was too excited.

After all, this is directly related to his expenses, the better the business of the shop, the more money he can spend freely.

Chang Sun Chong quickly turned his head and said to the shopkeeper: "Take out all the inventory, and sell as much as you can sell today! If there is not enough manpower, we will transfer all of them from the Zhao Mansion!"

"Yes! Master!" The shopkeeper left here excitedly.

And Changsun Chong naturally did not forget the task that Changsun Wuji entrusted to him, but the aristocratic family was extremely cunning, and it was not something that could be found out in a day or two.

Now it is necessary to take into account the immediate interests, send everyone to the shop, wait until the work is over, and then send people to find out what the big family is doing.

When he thought of this, Chang Sun Chong seemed to have seen the mountains of copper coins in front of him, and the graceful figures of the courtesans in Wanhualou...

He said that Changsun Wuji knew Changsun Chong's decision at this time, and he would definitely break his leg.

Because the aristocratic family moved very quickly, in just two hours, all the shops in the square city were removed, and all the goods inside were also shipped out of the square city.

And no one knows where they shipped the goods...

But everything that happened in Chang'an City was under the control of Bai Jingyi. King Lanling respectfully knelt in front of Bai Jingyi on one knee, and took out an extremely delicate map from his bosom.

The mansions repurchased by the aristocratic families are marked on it, and which family these mansions belong to is clearly marked.

After reading the map, the corners of Bai Jingyi's mouth rose slightly, and he thought in his heart: "It seems that these aristocratic families are not stupid! I also know how much benefits will be gained after the reform of the city!"

"It's a pity that now is not a good time to get rid of the big families, because when these big families bought the house, they almost exhausted their background!"

"It would be extremely easy to remove them by hand at this time, but it would also destabilize the court, leaving most of the officials vacant in the court!"

"At that time, there will be no officials available in the Tang Dynasty, and there will be all kinds of turmoil, and no one will govern!"

"So, now we can only let the aristocratic family share a piece of the pie, and let them eat it!"

"It is better to kill a fat sheep than to kill a hungry and thin wolf. In the current situation, we can only fatten up the aristocratic family and then kill them!"
