Chapter 13 Five Surnames and Seven Hopes
Chapter 13 Five Surnames and Seven Hopes
Li Shimin's headache finally came to an end.

Qin Yang and Li Ke chatted for a while outside the palace, and then they separated.

After all, Li Ke has important tasks to attend to.

Qin Yang left the palace and returned home.

Just two days.

A product called Shengtang cigarettes appeared in Chang'an City.

The advent of cigarettes.

It caused quite a stir in Chang'an.

The first is the expensive price.

The second is the name of the product, named by the emperor.

Most importantly, cigarettes are only sold at Qin's House.

a time.

Cigarettes became items that the rich and powerful rushed to buy.

Because of the scarcity of cigarettes, some smart traders saw the profits and became second-hand dealers.

Originally five taels of cigarettes can be sold at a high price of 20 taels, or even [-] taels, through the hands of two dealers.

As cigarettes spread among elite circles.

The name of the Qin family has gradually come into the sight of the rich and powerful.

several days.

Many merchants are greedy for the cigarettes sold by the Qin family.

Even in private, many merchants began to form alliances and sent people to Qin's firm to make trouble.

at the same time.

Qin Mansion.

Inside the living room.

"Too deceiving!"

Qin Xiangshan slapped his hand on the table, his expression extremely angry.

He just learned about it from a business clerk.

In the past two days, other firms specially hired people to make trouble in their own firm, not only making trouble, but also preventing people from buying cigarettes.

"Father, what's wrong?"

At this time, Qin Yang walked in, and seeing Qin Xiangshan's gloomy expression, he seemed to have guessed something.

Regarding Qin Yang’s inquiry.

Qin Xiangshan could only tell Qin Yang the truth.

"make trouble?"

Qin Yang narrowed his eyes, this matter was beyond his expectation, but it was within his expectation.

After all, jealousy is not unique to modern times.

It was more prosperous in ancient times.

Besides, the Qin family's business firm is not the only one in Chang'an City of Nuo Da.

Today, cigarettes are available.

But only the Qin family sold it.

Coupled with the popularity of cigarettes, the profits can be imagined.

The Qin family naturally became a thorn in the eyes of other commercial firms.

Qin Xiangshan looked at Qin Yang and asked, "Yang'er, do you have a solution?"

Hearing this, Qin Yang fell into thinking.

After a while.

"Dad, what is our family's rank among the merchants in Chang'an City?"

Qin Yang has never been involved in the family business, and the original owner only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, so now Qin Yang doesn't know much about the business circle in Chang'an City.

"Medium."

Qin Xiangshan said truthfully.

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to explain to Qin Yang the merchant circle in Chang'an City.

It turned out that among the many merchants in Chang'an City, the most powerful ones were the Zheng family, the Cui family, the Li family, the Lu family, and the Wang family.

Many rules of doing business.

They were all formulated by the five families of Zheng, Cui, Li, Lu and Wang.

The cigarettes sold by the Qin family broke business rules.

Therefore it was suppressed.

After listening to Qin Xiangshan's words, Qin Yang frowned. He felt that the Zheng family, Cui family, Li family, Lu family and Wang family that his father mentioned were somewhat familiar.

I recalled it carefully.

Qin Yang finally realized suddenly.

Zheng, Cui, Li, Lu, and Wang are the five surnames and Qiwang.

Is it the gentry recorded in the historical records?
Gentlemen, also known as family status, clothing, family, powerful family, aristocratic family, rich family, powerful family, etc.Aristocratic family is the collective name of family status and status, referring to a famous family that has been an official for generations.

To put it simply, they are chaebols, powerful, and even the royal family is afraid.

At this moment, Qin Yang realized.

If he wants to make money, he must bring down these noble families.

These gentry do not fall for a day.

Qin Yang is bound to fall into a passive position.

After all, cigarettes were just the first step in his plan to make money.

There will be more novelties in the future.

Before that, the first problem Qin Yang faced was how to cross the mountain of gentry.

Whether modern or ancient.

Only with big fists can one be qualified to speak and formulate rules.

Just as Qin Yang was thinking.

A burst of hurried footsteps came from outside.

next second.

The servant of the Qin family ran in, holding a letter in his hand.

"Master, Young Master, there is a stranger outside who asks me to give you the letter."

The servant handed the letter to Qin Xiangshan.

Qin Xiangshan opened the envelope, glanced at the contents of the letter, and suddenly turned pale.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Seeing Qin Xiangshan's pale complexion, Qin Yang realized that something was wrong, dodged the letter, read the contents of the letter, and his heart sank suddenly.

The content of the letter is very simple.

To be precise, it is an invitation letter.

The people invited were Zheng, Cui, Li, Lu and Wang.

A joint invitation from the gentry of the five surnames.

Even Qin Yang couldn't help but be shocked.

You must know that the power of the five surnamed noble families is like that of Samsung, Hyundai and other large chaebol families in a certain country in later generations.

"Yang'er, what should we do?"

Qin Xiangshan panicked.

He has been in business for more than ten years and has never received such an invitation.

Or the joint invitation of the five surnames.

[It is detected that the host is facing a choice. 】

[Choice [-]: Avoid his edge and refuse the invitation from the five surnamed nobles.Reward: None. 】

[Option [-], participate in the invitation of the five surnames.Reward: Hybrid rice (this rice only needs one month to germinate and mature). 】

Select the system to go online again.

"Choose two!"

Without any thought, Qin Yang made a decision resolutely.

The power of the five-surname gentry is certainly huge.

But Qin Yang has a golden finger by his side, not to mention, now he has something else.

Over there is hybrid rice.

It only takes one month from germination to maturity.

If so, cigarettes make the nobles of the five surnames jealous, then if hybrid rice comes out, it will be enough to elevate the Qin family to the status of nobles.

Before that, though.

Qin Yang must face the Zheng family, the Cui family, the Li family, the Lu family, and the Wang family.

Not to mention overthrowing.

At the very least, they have to be afraid.

That night.

The moon and stars are rare.

Qin Yang took his father, Qin Xiangshan, to the appointment place in a carriage.

soon.

The carriage stopped at the door of a luxurious mansion.

There is a golden plaque hanging on the beam of the mansion. On the plaque, there are two gilt characters "Li Mansion" printed on it.

Except for the golden plaque.

The most dreadful thing is that the guards at the gate are wearing armor.

Since ancient times, businessmen have had a humble status.

The people they raise are all servants and maids.

Who dares to raise troops?

From the soldiers guarding the door, it can be seen that the power of the Li family is extraordinary.

Qin Yang and Qin Xiangshan got off the carriage and handed the letter to the guard.

The guard glanced at the letter and understood the purpose of Qin Yang and Qin Xiangshan's visit.

"Come with me."

The guard took a look at the two of them, took Qin Yang and Qin Xiangshan into the mansion, and finally brought them to the entrance of the hall.

Stand at the door of the hall.

Qin Xiangshan, who had always been seasoned, suddenly felt timid and refused to step in for a long time.

Qin Yang was not too surprised when he saw this.

You know, in the room, waiting for the father and son, are the nobles with five surnames and seven looks!

"Dad, don't worry, I'm here."

Qin Yang put his hand on Qin Xiangshan's shoulder and comforted him.

Hearing this, Qin Xiangshan's heart warmed, and his eyes were filled with emotion. In his eyes, Qin Yang in the past only knew how to eat, drink and play, but now Qin Yang can finally be alone.
