Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Shopkeeper Liu knew that he had said something wrong, and Chu Mo looked a little embarrassed: "Uncle, if you are not rebelling, then what kind of business are you talking about?"

Chu Mo snorted, then pulled Shopkeeper Liu aside and spoke carefully.

After hearing this, shopkeeper Liu waved his hands hurriedly: "Uncle, this matter is of great importance, and the eldest lady must nod before it can be done. The younger one dare not make the decision without permission."

Chu Mo snorted, then took shopkeeper Liu to Yang Hongyu's room.

After hearing Chu Mo's words, Yang Hongyu glanced at Chu Mo with complicated eyes: "How sure are you of this matter?"

Chu Mo chuckled: "If I do it by myself, I'm only 3% sure. If my wife joins the stake, I'm 7% sure. If we include the Duke of Wei, I'm almost 8% sure."

Yang Hongyu, who had been relatively calm at first, heard Chu Mo talking about Duke Wei's residence, and immediately snorted with a frosty face: "You can join me if you want, but as promised before, I want [-]%."

When Chu Mo heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood: "Madam, if you want to take [-]%, then this matter will be impossible, and we will break up now."

As he said that, he pretended that he could no longer cooperate.

Yang Hongyu thought for a while and said: "5%, this is my bottom line."

Chu Mo shook his head: "At most [-]%. You know, there are several other companies here besides us."

Yang Hongyu did not hesitate and rejected it directly: "Forty percent, if it works, forget it."

Chu Mo smiled slightly: "Then just follow my wife's advice, [-]% will make [-]%. A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with."

A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Hongyu's mouth: "I am not a gentleman, I am a woman, but I keep my word."

Chu Mo didn't pay attention to the meaning of Yang Hongyu's words. At this time, he was completely immersed in the fantasy of gold and silver.

Wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, Chu Mo said to Yang Hongyu: "Madam, since this matter has been decided, I will go and inform Sister Hong and the others."

After Chu Mo left, Yang Hongyu told Shopkeeper Liu: "If my uncle needs anything during this time, you must do your best to help him."

"What he just said is right. Li Shimin has many ways to deal with us just by using force to deter us. If we want to make him really afraid to attack us, we have to start from other places."

Shopkeeper Liu responded, and then went to spread the news according to Chu Mo's instructions.

Chu Mo found Hongfu and his daughter and told her his plan.

After hearing this, mother and daughter's eyes lit up, and then they said to Chu Mo: "We join, what do we need to do?"

Chu Mo shook his head: "I don't need anything else. I only need gold, silver, and copper coins. The more the better. Of course, these things are only for use when the time comes, and they will be returned to you later."

Hongfu Nu nodded: "In that case, when will you use it? Just say hello a day in advance."

In the evening, Shopkeeper Liu followed Chu Mo's request and visited several famous families again.

As expected, several aristocratic families immediately panicked when they heard that if they did not participate, Yang Hongyu would come to the door in person the night after tomorrow.

They had searched all the food shops around Chang'an in the past two days, but they got very little food.

Because Chu Mo had made arrangements in advance and had already plundered all the grain around him, now if he wanted to collect a large amount of grain, it would be better to transfer it directly from outside.

But Yang Hongyu had only given them three days to collect food, and now it was the afternoon of the second day.

And Chu Mo asked someone to send a message and mentioned that he would come to visit the day after tomorrow. This was simply a naked threat.

Although the family heads were dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it.

Yesterday, through Ma Yuanyi's matter, they wanted to take the opportunity to directly confront Yang Hongyu and the royal family, so that the two sides would turn against each other. They had no time to pay attention to these aristocratic families.

But things went against expectations. Not only did things not develop according to the trajectory set by the family heads, but Wang Junkuo's trump card was also revealed.

Yang Hongyu not only repelled the invading enemies, but later it was said that Li Er even came to visit him personally.

Seeing that there was no fight between the two sides, he still made a mess on his side.

Originally, when they heard that Shi Weitian had sent an invitation to them to the banquet again because of food problems, they all thought that if they could not raise enough food, they would flee Chang'an.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, his life was saved after all, and there would be many opportunities to deal with Yang Hongyu in the future.

But the other party also said that he was negotiating a deal with him, and regardless of whether he was successful or not, he could delay the delivery of food for another three days. This was undoubtedly great news for the owners of the houses. As long as they were not fools, they would know that they should agree.

Chu Mo was not surprised at all by Shopkeeper Liu's reply. He asked Shopkeeper Liu to arrange a warehouse for him, and then asked Commander Hei to help him modify it randomly, and then waited for people to come and send money.

Since Li Shimin returned to the East Palace yesterday, he has been sending people to secretly pay attention to Shi Weitian's actions.

He thought that Yang Hongyu's serious injury was just a plan set up by the other party to lure out the person in the dark.

After Concubine Yang returned to the palace, she confirmed her suspicion that Yang Hongyu was not injured at all.

But he was still worried, so he sent a team of Qianniu Guards to visit Shiweitian in disguise.

However, after those losers entered, they all died without even making a sound.

If this didn't prove that Yang Hongyu was not injured, then Chu Mo's series of operations showed that the other party was confident.

If Yang Hongyu was really injured, Chu Mo would definitely be far away from the family now, but it was good for him. Not only did he dare to come and threaten, he could even postpone the things he had agreed to before.

Although Li Shimin was jealous of the remaining food and was angry at Chu Mo for delaying the time without authorization, there was nothing he could do against him.

Now, not only several major aristocratic families, but also he, a ninety-five-year-old man, have become very interested in the big business that Chu Mo mentioned.

You know, the other party just defrauded the family of millions of taels of silver. These are not big business in his eyes, so how huge will the big business in his mouth be.

The desire for money made the emperor Li Shimin couldn't help but think about how to participate in Chu Mo's big business.

Not only did Li Shimin get the news, but Hou Junji and Cheng Yaojin, who had been paying attention to Shiweitian, also got the news.

It's just that the former has always been resentful of Chu Mo for humiliating himself.

As for Cheng Yaojin, he had already negotiated the refined salt business with Chu Mo before, but he didn't see the other party making the slightest move.

This time it was reported that he was going to make a big move, and he notified several major families, but did not notify himself.

Therefore, Cheng Yaojin immediately became anxious. As soon as he got the news, he went to Shiweitian to discuss with Chu Mo.
