Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Regardless of the complaints around him, relying on the people around him, he forced his way through.

"Xu"

Anyway, he is a prince.

Dou Xiaoci was about to see the ceremony, but before he could say the word 'Wang', he swallowed it.

The business hall was full of fish and dragons, but they didn't dare to name Li Yuanli.

He had no choice but to say: "Brother Li, please come inside."

Li Yuanli cupped his hands at Dou Xiaoci, then smiled apologetically at Wei Bingchen, and said, "My dear brother, I'm being rude."

Wei Bingchen smiled slightly and said, "It's fate to meet each other, brother Li, please!"

The three walked towards the back hall.

As soon as he left the sight of the people, Wei Bingchen immediately bowed his hands in salute.

"See Your Highness King Xu!"

Li Yuanli wondered, "You know me?"

Wei Bingchen said: "My Majesty has traveled with the lost general to the Western Regions. Before going out for the expedition, I met His Royal Highness Xu Wang!"

Li Yuanli understood, and said: "Since you belong to the Eighth Brother-in-law, then you belong to this king, there is no need to be polite!"

Chapter 1527 Where can there be any good people in the family?

In the back hall, in Dou Xiaoci's office.

The three people just formed a triangle, each sitting in their own position.

Regardless of their respective official identities, the origins of the three of them are very interesting.

Li Yuanli is from the nobles of Guanlong, Dou Xiaoci is from the famous family in Hedong, and Wei Bingchen is from the Hua nationality in Jiangnan.

It happens to represent the three largest interest groups in Datang.

The words of the three of them are all beautiful, but it does not mean that there is a relationship of trust between them.

On the contrary, they are full of guard against each other.

Contradictions of family interests are never allowed to be reconciled.

Even if there is blood between them

Even if Li Yuanli is now attached to Liu Bai's sect, this contradiction still exists.

In this kind of scene, no prince or grandpa has any gold content at all.

In a sense, they are now equals.

Dou Xiaoci looked at Wei Bingchen, then at Li Yuanli, weighed in his heart for a moment, and sighed slightly.

He already knew that Li Yuanli was coming, and the reason why he asked him to line up step by step was because he knew very well that Li Yuanli would definitely ask for something when he came to the door.

As a thousand-year-old family, the Dou family is a very detached existence.

He didn't want to have too much relationship with the royal family.

Sharing interests is not the same thing as marriage.

As for Wei Bingchen

Ever since Wei Bingchen told the news of the separation of the Wei family, Dou Xiaoci already understood that he came to find allies.

Songzhou happened to be in Hedong, a bastard who was driven out by the main line, already had the status of the imperial court, the only thing lacking was the alliance with other aristocratic families.

When he has grown to a sufficient level, the first thing to do must be to annex the main line of the Wei family!

Controlling the family is the ultimate dream of all bastards

In the family, where can there be any good people?

The three of them maintained an invisible tacit understanding, and no one spoke first.

Surrounded by a large group of old foxes, they were fascinated by their ears and eyes, and they had already learned a lot of scheming!

After the boy brought the tea, Dou Xiaoci said quietly: "Perhaps, I shouldn't invite both of you in."

Li Yuanli looked a little embarrassed.

Originally, it was Dou Xiaoci and Wei Bingchen who wanted to chat in private.

He is like a stick in the sideways.

Wei Bingchen smiled slightly, and held up the teacup with his good hand.

"The prince said first, Wei is not in a hurry."

"Brother Wei said first, Xiao Wang is fine."

Li Yuanli was grinning, took out a handful of dried fruit from his cuff, and sprinkled it on the table.

Dou Xiaoci had a headache.

These two people are really too fine.

He can choose to cooperate with Wei Bingchen, or do business with Li Yuanli.

However, it is impossible for these three behemoths, the noble family of Hedong, the nobles of Guanlong, and the Chinese of Jiangnan, to form an alliance together.

The identities of the three of them are not ordinary.

The clan will not allow this to happen.

Otherwise, it would violate the emperor's taboo.

Unfortunately, Dou Xiaoci had no choice.

He really wanted to go to Dongzhou Island and ask Liu Bai for an idea, but these two people would definitely not let him go.

"Both of you, I don't have much time for you. Why don't you come after you two discuss it?"

Wei Bingchen looked at Dou Xiaoci with a half-smile and didn't speak.

Li Yuanli still smiled and said: "If one family doesn't talk about two families, this king is also your uncle. Is it possible that you don't even give this little face?"

When Dou Xiaoci heard this, a burst of anger rose in his heart.

At this time, Wei Bingchen spoke.

"My aunt in my family is Mr. Yuanxiu's continuation wife, so she and Brother Dou are relatives and respectful, so it's not like this."

Mr. Yuan Xiu is Dou Jing, the second elder brother of Dou Dan.

He once made great achievements in the battle to destroy the Turks.

After returning to the court, he became a civil servant in an instant.

Last year, due to the recurrence of the old injury, Li Er died of illness. In order to commend Dou Jing's meritorious service, Li Er betrothed the fourth daughter of the emperor, Princess Suian, to Dou Jing's son Dou Kui.

The relationship between the great clans is just so chaotic.

Relatives are connected to relatives.

If you regard them as a big family, for hundreds of years before and after the Tang Dynasty, the throne of the emperor basically changed back and forth among their big family.

Li Yuanli's face darkened, but he returned to normal in an instant.

Wei Bingchen put down the teacup, and said: "Wei has a good idea, which can fulfill the prince's great cause and take care of Wei's small things. I don't know you two, are you willing to listen?"

To his surprise, Li Yuanli and Dou Xiaoci shook their heads at the same time.

Then, they said in unison: "I don't want to listen!"

Wei Bingchen was speechless for a while, and then he spread his hands and said, "Then Wei has nothing to do. Anyway, there is still a while to appraise the batch of gold, and Wei is not in a hurry."

Li Yuanli smiled and said, "I am not in a hurry."

In two sentences, the problem fell on Dou Xiaoci.

Dou Xiaoci, who has been with Liu Bai for seven or eight years, is he at his mercy?

of course not!

He simply stood up and said: "You two discuss it, Dou still has a lot of things to deal with!"

After speaking, he will leave.

How could Wei Bingchen and Li Yuanli let him go?

If he left, he would definitely go to Dongzhou Island immediately and ask Liu Bai for advice.

Among their peers, the two of them can play with their hearts and eyes with ease, but if they are in front of Liu Bai, the two of them can only be played

"Brother Dou, wait a minute!"

"Eldest nephew, give uncle some face!"

Li Yuanli gave Wei Bingchen a slightly wary look, and said to Dou Xiaoci, "To be honest, I just came here from your Brother Liu, and he ordered me to do the errands."

Dou Xiaoci tilted his head, his eyes were full of mockery.

He knew very well that neither the brothers nor Liu Bai had ever treated Li Yuanli as one of his own.

Wei Bingchen sighed quietly, and said: "Since it is an errand assigned by the head of the Liu family, Wei will no longer compete with the prince. It's a pity that the thirty boatloads of refined salt may be in vain."

Hearing this, Dou Xiaoci and Li Yuanli almost bit their tongues!

"How many?!"

Wei Bingchen spread his hands and said, "Thirty boats!"

"You brought so much refined salt?!"

It was Li Yuanli who exclaimed.

Although the government-operated system of salt and iron in the Tang Dynasty was not as strict as that in the Han Dynasty, it absolutely prohibited private sales of salt.

Liu's supermarket has successfully brought down the price of salt.

But refined salt is different from ordinary salt.

Restricted by the refining process, only green salt is sold in supermarkets.

It's not poisonous, but the taste is a bit worse.

In fact, the refining process of refined salt is very complicated.

It’s okay to make small batches. It takes a little more work and tinkering for seven or eight days to refine it, which is more than enough for one or two people.

If you blindly follow the ancient method, the cost of refining refined salt will be extremely high!

Therefore, the price of refined salt is still high.

The main use is not for cooking, but for the big families to clear their mouths after waking up in the morning.

Mifune's refined salt is enough to make people speechless.

What the hell is Thirty Ships?

Chapter 1528 Thirty Ships of Refined Salt!That's thirty boatloads of refined salt

Dou Xiaoci swallowed his saliva and stammered, "Brother Wei, do you really have thirty boatloads of refined salt?"

Wei Bingchen nodded and smiled.

Li Yuanli stood up abruptly, walked over and closed the door.

Walking back and sitting down again, he said with a serious expression, "Official salt or private salt?"

Wei Bingchen waved his hands again and again, and said, "Your Majesty, don't take your life seriously. If you take ten catties of private salt, you will be sent to the army, and if you have a hundred catties of private salt, you will be beheaded. I don't have the courage!"

Dou Xiaoci said strangely: "According to what I know, the salt field in Jiangnan Road may not be able to store [-] boatloads of salt after drying in the sun for a year or two? What's more, it's still refined salt!"

Wei Bingchen smiled without saying a word.

After reacting, Dou Xiaoci cupped his hands apologetically.

Wei Bingchen must have found a way to make money, just like a natural open-pit gold mine, anyone who finds it must cover it up.

Even if the whole family is kidnapped, they can't tell the whereabouts of the gold mine.
