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

Chapter 295 Do you have a solution?

Cui Daohuai waved his hand, "I do things, don't worry, no matter who it is, we can't beat us."

Hearing this, Cui Daozhen felt a little relieved, but still instructed: "No matter what, from now on, each house must be careful and cautious. Li Shimin is now waiting for us to make mistakes."

"As for how the imperial court should respond, I will work with other Patriarchs to put pressure on the imperial court."

"What Li Shimin did this time was not only aimed at our Cui family, the five surnames and Qiwang, and even the wealthy families of the noble families in the world. I believe they all know that at this time, only by uniting can they have a negative impact on the court. Influence."

Hearing what Cui Daozhen said, the heads of the various families were convinced that this was indeed the only way to deal with the current situation.

Once the five surnames and Qiwang join forces with the world's gentry, no matter what the three-character scriptures are, or even the imperial examinations established by the imperial court, they can still only listen to the words of the aristocratic family.

Even if there are more opportunities for the poor family now, it is just a bit of leftovers leaked from the family, and it still cannot form a competitive ability against the big family.

The court is still the same court as it used to be, and will still be controlled by their families. Li Shimin wants to get rid of the influence of the family on the court?Go dreaming!
The Cui family took action quickly, and Cui Daohuai hurried back to Chang'an City with his most important granddaughter, Cui Xiufang.

Unexpectedly, on the day they rushed back to Chang'an City, their carriage was blocked on Chang'an Avenue. After inquiring, they found out that it was the new tobacco and alcohol shop opened by the Prince of the East Palace. Alcohol blocked the way.

Li Fu's current stall is getting bigger and bigger, and naturally the expenses in all aspects are getting bigger and bigger. He has to worry about the expenses of the East Palace, so he simply established the cigarette factory he just signed.

Later, it merged with the wine shop, and opened a tobacco and alcohol shop in Chang'an City, specializing in the only high-quality wine produced by the East Palace and the unique filter-tipped cigarettes of Datang.

The reputation of the East Palace's good wine has long been known, and when the "men's favorite" filter-tip cigarettes came out, they quickly swept the entire Chang'an city.

So when Li Fu opened up the supply and sold fine wine and cigarettes to the outside world, how could he not set off a wave of panic buying in Chang'an, and ended up blocking the way of Cui Daohuai's carriage.

"Hmph, the majestic capital of the Tang Dynasty turned into such a mess, it's unbearable! How did Li Shimin do it?" Cui Dao looked at the crowd outside the car angrily, and reprimanded unceremoniously.

"Grandpa, don't be impatient, just take a break in the carriage." Inside the carriage, a beautiful woman comforted Cui Daohuai, and Cui Daohuai immediately calmed down when he heard the woman's words.

This glamorous woman is Cui Xiufang, Cui Daohuai's granddaughter, a leader in the new generation of the Cui family, and Cui Daohuai's most valued granddaughter among the second house of the Cui family.

While Cui Daohuai was nagging, outside his carriage, in an unremarkable tavern, Li Jing stopped Li Shimin who was about to leave, and pointed to the Cui family's carriage outside.

Li Shimin accidentally looked towards Cui's carriage, and he happened to meet Cui Daohuai who rolled up the curtain and looked out.

Cui Daohuai's eyes froze suddenly, Li Shimin?How could he appear in such a place?And Changsun Wuji and Li Jing!

Li Shimin also recognized Cui Daohuai at this moment. Didn't the head of the Cui family's second room and his granddaughter go back to the Cui family's old house in Boling?Why did you return to Beijing so soon?
"Cui Daohuai? He came back so soon?" Changsun Wuji also saw Cui Daohuai at this time, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Your Majesty, do you want to..." Li Jing gestured to Li Shimin. The Cui family was a big family among the five surnames and seven Wangs, and Cui Daohuai was one of the most concerned by the court.

His whereabouts have always been the focus of everyone's attention, so Li Jing wondered if he should do something to Cui Daohuai.

"No need." Li Shimin waved his hand, "I'll be back when I come back. I didn't expect that when I went out to buy cigarettes today, I ran into him. It seems that the Cui family is ready to do something."

Cui Daohuai was also full of surprise at the moment, he didn't expect that when he returned to Beijing secretly, he would meet Li Shimin as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, which made his secret return journey lose all meaning.

At this time, the people sent by the Cui family returned to the carriage and presented Cui Daohuai with the fine wine and cigarettes they had bought.

"Patriarch, there's a new shop in front of us, and it only sells these two things. This wine is the fine wine produced by the Eastern Palace. The other one is called cigarettes, which are used for smoking. They are said to be able to refresh the mind."

"Among the buying crowd, I found that there are quite a few servants and butlers from high-ranking officials who came to buy. The business of the new shop is really booming..."

Cui Daohuai listened to the servant's words, with a noncommittal expression on his face, he took the fine wine casually, poured it into his mouth, and his eyes were full of light in an instant, "The fine wine in the East Palace really lives up to its reputation!"

Then, under the guidance of the servant, he took a puff of a cigarette, and Cui Daohuai's eyes suddenly brightened a lot.

"This stuff is good, it's really good. It smells a bit strange, but it can really refresh you when you smoke it!"

"It's no wonder so many people came to buy it. It seems that during the time I was away from Chang'an, many things happened in Chang'an that I didn't know about. Is this the only thing?"

Cui Daohuai was very dissatisfied with the people for blocking the road just now, but after tasting cigarettes and wine, he changed his tune instantly.

"Master, when I went there, the shop was about to close. This was bought at a high price, and I bought it from someone else, and I will show it to you, Master..."

"Okay!" Cui Daohuai waved his hand, he just took three puffs in a row, and he almost finished one cigarette. The man's favorite, of course, deserves its reputation, Cui Daohuai fell in love with it immediately.

"No matter how high the price is, find a way to buy it, and buy as much as you can, especially this cigarette, the more the better!"

When Cui Daohuai gave an order, the Cui family was busy opening in no time, but the problem was that Li Fu's tobacco and alcohol shop was newly opened, and the supplies were limited.

Cui Daohuai, who was addicted to cigarettes immediately, learned that there were no cigarettes for sale, and his whole body suddenly became ill. He was only thinking about cigarettes, and the whole Cui family was worried about it.

But now in Chang'an City, apart from a few princes, only the emperor and the prince have cigarettes, but the problem is that the Cui family can't get in that kind of place at all!

After Cui Xiufang found out about this, she took the initiative to come to Cui Daohuai, "Grandpa, my granddaughter has a way to help grandpa buy cigarettes and fine wine."

"You have a solution?" Cui Daohuai looked at his granddaughter suspiciously.
