Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 173 The Changsun Mansion's Trick
The scorching sun climbed up to the clouds, and the golden light shone on the imperial city, making it a bit hot and dry.

Under the pergola set up by the tea shop, Li Xian and Cheng Chumo sat opposite each other, wanting to drink a cup of herbal tea to relieve the dry heat.

Originally they had their own shop, but seeing the overcrowded scene, the two shop owners had no choice but to give up.

Looking for an ordinary shop, and waiting to be seated, Li Xian glanced at the sign "No Coal" posted, and his heart moved.

"It seems that we have caused a lot of trouble in the city, even ordinary shops are so conflicted."

Cheng Chumo turned his head and saw the words, he frowned, feeling displeasure in his heart, and shouted.

"Little Second!"

The boy with the white cloth on his shoulders warmly greeted him, bowed his body slightly and smiled.

"Guest officer, there are some good ones in this small shop..."

He was interrupted before he finished speaking, and Cheng Chumo pointed to the posted note and questioned him aloud.

"Why is this?"

Looking up and down at the two neatly dressed plain clothes, the servant's face immediately showed a slight smile.

"The two must be from the imperial city in the future, right? These words have a lot of background."

"In recent days, there have been unscrupulous traders who have cheated the common people in private under the banner of serving the people, so the note is posted to warn our people not to be deceived."

Withdrew his steps slightly, the servant stood outside the door, raised his hand and pointed to the two street corners along the road, and looked over.

"Guest officer, this is not just our shop, look, the whole long street is like this."

Stepping back to the shop again, the young man tore off the white cloth on his shoulders to wipe the tables and chairs, and said casually.

"Let's also remind the two of you that if you come across those coal stove sales, don't be fooled, and don't fall for it!"

"It's a small matter to be cheated out of money. I heard that the coal stove burns coal, and I was murdered by poisonous smoke, but the gain outweighs the loss."

Seeing Cheng Chu's Mo Meifeng frowned, and his irritable temper was about to flare up again, Li Xian interrupted the chattering servant and waved.

"Thank you for letting me know."

"Two pots of tea, please dilute it."

"Good Le!"

A drawn-out tone sounded, and the boy put the white cloth on his shoulders, nodded and ran to the back.

Li Xian put on a wry smile, leaned back on the chair, raised his eyes to look at the opposite side, and vaguely saw the words on the opposite side from the passing crowd.

"This news is well-informed. We haven't sold it yet, but someone has promoted it for us in advance!"

"It saves us from hawking all over the street, which really saves a lot of effort."

Cheng Chumo stuck to the threshold and stared at it for a long time, his already dark cheeks were completely blackened, and he sat down angrily.

"You still have a new mood to joke!"

"The coal incident has become like this, and the poisonous smoke incident has spread widely. Who are we selling our coal stoves to?"

"Business is not a big deal, the worst thing is that there is a teahouse to support it. But as the saying goes, people's words are terrible, and if these rumors are spread, our Cheng family and your Li family will be ruined."

While talking, the servant came over with tea and put it on the desk.

When pushing the teacup over and placing it in front of the two of them, he put on a kind smile.

"Guest officer, what you said earlier was not alarmist. I saw the two nobles from nearby villages at that time just said a few more words, so I don't think it's too long-winded."

"I heard that the peddler is doing business in the countryside now, and many people have exchanged chickens and ducks at home. I don't know how many lives will be caused in the future."

"Ouch~ These profiteers are simply devoid of conscience! In order to earn some money, they are so bad in their bones!"

Slightly bowing his body, the boy reminded him as if he was doing good for you two.

"It's no secret anymore. The Changsun Mansion has also stepped up to clarify that once the charcoal is sold, it will be at your own risk."

"Look! Our eldest grandson also felt that this matter was wrong, so he just distanced himself from this profiteer!"

"Today, I see you two are good-natured, so I will say a few more words."

Speaking of excitement, the boy put up the white cloth on his shoulders, straightened up and gestured with his hands, overflowing with passion.

"What are you doing? Are you being lazy again? Come and serve tea!"

In front of the house, the shopkeeper looked away from the abacus, propped his head and let out a howl, which caused the servant to respond quickly, before leaving in a hurry.

Cheng Chumo's face was as black as charcoal, he took a sip from the cup, panting angrily.

"Changsun Wuji is an old fox! Normally, he also sells charcoal and village households. Although it is rare, there are some, but it is not necessary to put up any notices!"

"Now it's hanging in the imperial city, it's obvious that it's aimed at us!"

"I control Datang Carbon Coal, half of the iron mines are in the country, and we, the people, are not allowed to do business?"

Li Xian had a different opinion, he pressed down his palm, his expression remained unchanged.

Holding the teacup in the palm of your hand, take a sip comfortably.

"You can't say that. It is the nature of businessmen to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This has nothing to do with Changsun Wuji."

"The more troubles in the imperial city become like this, at least it proves that our coal stove has a great influence, and it's better than living in the suburbs for a long time and no one cares about it!"

In the voice of the voice, there was a voice of cheering from afar at the end of the long street.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The coachman drove the four-horse carriage and yelled at the bustling crowd. Amid the voices of women exclaiming their children, the crowd parted like a wave.

The tea shop that was originally close to the street flooded with evading people. Li Xian stood up, his eyes wandering with the speeding carriage.

Li Xian frowned after fanning the raised dust and glancing at the fine dust in the cup.

"Who is this? Horses are running along the long street, and the rich and powerful are so arrogant? Disregarding the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

"I think it should be detained in the government, knock on a few boards to improve memory!"

The figure beside him looked Li Xian up and down, and laughed out loud.

"I'm afraid you seldom come to the imperial city, sir?"

"Golden border with cloud pattern and sandalwood frame, it looks like the carriage of Changsun's mansion."

"Other than the decree, who in the city dares to detain the emperor's relatives? Besides, the mansion of the eldest grandson is not the only one in the imperial city who dares to gallop like this. If it is too much, it is the youngest son of General Li Ji back then! "

After the voice fell, someone pulled the corner of his clothes, motioning him not to talk nonsense, and changed the topic by the way.

"Master Changsun has always been modest and friendly, so he must have been a little reckless if he got involved this time."

"Yeah, look at this cultivation, it's probably because there are important matters to be done by the royal family! Sigh~ I don't know where something went wrong."

"You are full of food, and he is an important minister in the court. It's time for us poor people to worry about it?"

After the smoke and dust cleared, everyone walked back to the long street, and the front of the tea shop was brightened up.

Li Xian poured out the dusty tea, poured another cup, put the corner of his mouth together, looked at the direction the carriage was galloping away, and frowned slightly.

Something important in the palace?

But I haven't heard of it recently.

Now in the imperial city, the most exciting thing is the coal stove.

Is it possible that the posting of the list will dissatisfy the owner behind us?
Thinking that this wealthy businessman could get along well with the ministers of the court, and even get the mine from the emperor's relatives like Changsun Wuji, Li Xian's heart moved slightly, and he looked at the dull Cheng Chumo opposite.

"Chu Mo, what is the background of the rich businessman behind us?"

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo's face was suffocated, and he squeezed out a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Li... You... Aren't you embarrassing others..."
