Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

It was getting closer and closer to Zhengyuan, and the nobles and nobles of Chang'an finally noticed something was wrong. They found that people had been selling divine beads for half a month, and they purchased more than 200 of them themselves.

There are indeed a lot of the first batch scattered around, but they can't be sold every day. After realizing something was wrong, the noble families gathered together immediately.

In a large box on the second floor of the Cui family's Yunlai Restaurant, representatives of the eighteen aristocratic families were present. Including Jingzhao Weidu.

"Everyone is here, let me talk first. Our Cui family feels something is wrong recently. There seem to be too many people selling magic beads.

A lot of people did buy the Divine Beads in the first batch, but they should have almost been collected.

But recently our Cui family purchased a total of 230 divine beads. There are no large-volume sales, only a few or a dozen pieces, and people sell them every day. "Cui Renzhi was the first to speak.

"We are the same. We recently purchased 260 four," said someone from the Lanling Xiao family.

"Our Wang family purchased [-] pieces."

"Our Yang family has 250 two pills"

"Our Zhaojun Li family has 270 pills."

Eighteen companies talked about their recent acquisitions one by one. The few that are missing are 290 from the Wang family. The Wei family has the most, 500 and four. The total number of eighteen families was more than [-], and everyone present was surprised.

"How come there are so many? At most half of the first batch is outside. The second batch only has a thousand pills outside. The total will not exceed three thousand. The rest are in the hands of us and the nobles." Wang Victory said in surprise.

"Could it be that Xun Gui is also selling it? But even with this quantity, it doesn't match up. The first batch only has a total of [-] pieces." Cui Renzhi also felt that something was not right.

"Unless Prince Ji's Mansion is also selling them. He should have more than 2000 pills in his hand."

"It's impossible. My people have been keeping an eye on the Boutique Pavilion. They are also buying it. And there are people selling it every day. My people have seen money being pulled from the Boutique Pavilion." Cui Renzhi said with certainty.

"But what's going on? The gold that our Yang family kept in Chang'an is gone. Now we use copper coins, and we have to pull two to three hundred carts out every day."

"The same goes for our Zheng family."

"Did the merchant from Tianzhu lie to us? The first batch was not three thousand." The elder of the Li family in Zhao County seemed a little irritable.

"But when the Zhu merchants returned to Tianzhu, we couldn't find anyone to question them."

"Bang bang bang" At this time, someone knocked on the door.

"Didn't I say it? Don't disturb us if there is nothing important." Cui Renzhi was a little annoyed at the moment.

"Sir, I have something to report." A voice sounded outside the door.

Cui Renzhi stood up and opened the door, and saw Cui Wang standing outside the door.

"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. We have important things to discuss." Cui Renzhi was very impatient.

"Sir, the servant who just stared at the Boutique Pavilion came back to send a message, saying that the Boutique Pavilion has just changed a brand at the door. The sign for purchasing the divine beads has been replaced by a sign for selling the divine beads. And the price is two thousand guan each."

"What!" Everyone in the private room changed their expressions when they heard Cui Wang's words. Cui Renzhi even shouted out.

"The boutique pavilion has just started selling divine beads. The price is two thousand guan each" Cui Wang repeated.

"You go down first." Cui Renzhi closed the door with a dark face.

"Did King Ji also notice that something was wrong?" the Du family elder guessed.

At this moment, Wei Renji of the Wei family who had been silent said, "Do you think it's King Ji who is up to something here? He sold us those divine beads. We stopped purchasing them today, and he started selling them out."

"No matter what, we have to think of a way to sell the Divine Pearl to Prince Ji's Mansion. Moreover, it will be sold at a reduced price, and people will soon follow suit." said the Langya royal family.

"There are only two plans for now. First, we will also sell them, but we may not be able to sell them. Second, we will buy all the beads in their hands. By then, these beads will be in our hands. We can sell as many as we want. "Wang Weitu said

"We can still wait for the Tianzhu people to come back." Someone proposed a different method

"Haha. What if the Tianzhu merchants don't come back." Wei Renji now feels more and more that this matter has something to do with Prince Ji's Mansion.

"Anyway, let's first explore the reality of Prince Ji's palace. See how many pills he has in his hand. Why don't we send someone to the Boutique Pavilion to inquire."

Cui Renzhi went downstairs and found Cui Wang and said, "Go to the Boutique Pavilion and ask how many beads they have in their hands. Just tell us that the Cui family wants to acquire them and report back immediately after asking."

After Cui Wang received the order, he immediately went to the Boutique Pavilion. When Cui Wang arrived at the Boutique Pavilion, Wang Hongfu was also there.

"Shopkeeper Wang is so polite."

"Shopkeeper Cui, what's the matter?" Wang Hongfu immediately smiled when he saw it was Cui Wang.

"I heard that you are selling divine beads, and our Cui family wants to buy them. I don't know how many you have." Cui Wang explained his intention directly without any nonsense.

"To tell you the truth, there aren't many. There are only a little over 40 in total. The rest have been made by His Highness Prince Ji as gifts to be given to the Imperial Concubine in the next few days." Wang Hongfu said with a smile.

"More than 40 pills, okay, I'll go back and tell my boss. We'll get the money then." After saying that, Cui Wang turned around and left.

Cui Wang quickly returned to Yunlai Restaurant and told the story.

"Just over 40?" Cui Renzhi felt relieved.

"Everyone, I have inquired clearly just now. The Boutique Pavilion sells more than 40 pieces. I think it must be the extra ones from King Ji." Cui Renzhi returned upstairs and told everyone.

"Then why doesn't he keep it in his hands? It will be a lot of money to wait for the Tianzhu people to come back." Someone objected.

"No matter what, let's collect his divine beads first. We can't let him keep selling. Otherwise, the beads in everyone's hands will become less and less valuable."

"Yes. Brother Cui, please go and take back the divine pearl first. We will share it equally with each family."

-------------------------------------

"Your Majesty, Shopkeeper Wang has just arrived. Let me tell you that the Divine Pearl has been bought by the Cui family. Now Shopkeeper Wang is pulling money from the palace's treasury." In Li Shen's study, Wang Xuance said to Li Shen.

"Well, it seems we can start cutting the third crop." Li Shen happily said to Wang Xuance

"Then I will start as planned tomorrow. But I guess there may not be too many. They should be suspicious soon." Wang Xuance analyzed

"It doesn't matter. The first two times were enough. This time we need to be quick. I don't want it to affect the common people. These people can do anything. They have sucked the blood of the world for many years." Li Shen waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will end this matter as soon as possible, but will they doubt us?"

"If you doubt it, just doubt it. They have no evidence, so go ahead. In fact, we are also victims. Hahahaha"
