Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Just now you said..."

"Just now, Mr. Guo just asked casually, to see if the two of you consider me, Guo Ye, as a friend! I didn't expect... Tsk tsk... You really didn't take Mr. Guo seriously."

Ignoring Guo Ye's ridicule, Li Quan asked: "According to the elder of our clan, Li Leyong, when you were in Banqiao Town, you..."

"In Banqiao Town, Mr. Guo can explain clearly. If you make money by making cheap colored glaze, Mr. Guo will never make things difficult for you. But if you want to grab the business of Changlefang's bank with cheap colored glaze, hey-hey……"

Guo Ye just sneered, and didn't say what he said next, but the threat was palpable.

Zhang Liang said: "So, if we only sell glazed products in large quantities, you won't make glass to compete with us?"

"Exactly."

"Then you are not afraid. After we manufacture glazed products, there will be a sudden attack on your business in Changlefang Big Bank?"

"Hey, you can try it!"

Zhang Liang said: "Okay, we all understand Qin Guogong's attitude."

"Then I don't know where you are going?"

Li Quan and Zhang Liang looked at each other and said: "Two years ago, you used these words to frighten our five noble families and suspend the colored glaze business. Scared?"

Zhang Liang said: "From today onwards, we will do our best to make colored glaze. As for the business of the big bank, our five noble clans will also get involved. When the time comes, who will win the game, everyone will have their own destiny."

Guo Ye's face sank, and he said: "It turns out that the two of you are here today to challenge someone Guo!"

"Exactly! We could have secretly made a large amount of colored glaze first, and then made a surprise attack on your business. However, after thinking about it later, it's better to forget it. Ming people don't do secret things. Qin Guogong, our five noble clans will be with you this time. war!"

Chapter 1761 Want to doze off and meet a pillow

A thousand cups of wine is less when you meet a bosom friend, but a few words are more than a few words if you don't speculate.After finishing the gauntlet, Zhang Liang and Li Quan left, and Guo Ye didn't try to persuade them to stay.

In fact, Guo Ye is now in a state of disarray.The five great gentry of the family have mastered the method of making cheap colored glaze, but his so-called glass making method is purely lip service.

The glass seems...maybe...maybe...made of sand, and for the rest, soda ash seems to be used?But during the Tang Dynasty, I didn't even know what this soda ash was called, and whether there was even a seller of this kind of thing.

Even if there is sand and soda ash, can it be made into glass when it is burned with fire?It's not that simple, is it?

If glass can be made so easily, why did the five noble families spend huge sums of money on researching how to make colored glaze?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Guo Ye's mind, could Nima Liuli be another name for glass?Or is colored glaze just a defective product in the process of making glass?

In other words, the five major gentry clans are already running halfway, so why haven't they started yet?In other words, I have already lost at the starting line!

A few months later, the colored glaze products of the five major noble families will be shipped on a large scale, and then they will use colored glaze products to pave the way for a new bank. The big bank of Changlefang is in danger!

When it comes to money, Guo Ye's current family's money is already enough for future generations to spend hundreds of lifetimes, and he doesn't care much about the loss of money.

Guo Ye wouldn't care too much if someone else made cheap colored glaze, and based on this, they created a new bank to compete with the big bank in Changlefang.

If possible, Guo Ye would even do them a little favor.As a traveler, he is always happy to see the progress of technology.As for his own Changlefang Big Bank earning more and less, it is nothing more than a number.

However, it is completely different if it is the five great gentry that make the cheap colored glaze.

After several conflicts between Guo Ye and the five great noble families, the hatred was as deep as the sea.Being defeated by his enemy, where will Guo Ye's face go?

What's more, as a traverser, he should have beaten the ancients with advanced technology.How could it be beaten back by the ancients with advanced technology?That was too aggrieved.

Most importantly, Guo Ye knew very well that the fundamental purpose of the five noble families was not to make money, but to seek to usurp the throne.Letting their glass business continue is equivalent to providing a huge cash flow for their rebellion cause.

Money is magic.

With so much money spent, they really have the possibility of succeeding in their rebellion!If the person supported by the five noble clans becomes the emperor, Guo Ye's family may be ruined!

Therefore, for both public and private purposes, Guo Ye would not allow them to carry on the colored glaze business no matter whether the five great gentry provoked the big bank of Changlefang or not!The original rhetoric was just a tactic to delay the attack.

Now that the tactic of slowing down the army has failed, they can only fight head-on with the five great gentry.

How to make glass, Guo Ye thought for a long time, but still had no idea, finally he decided to find someone to discuss.One person counts the disadvantages, and two people count the longs. Maybe they can come up with a good solution.

But who to consult with?

Alas, it would be great if Yu Nuannuan was here, although she may not be of much help in making glass, but she is a genius when it comes to business.With her here, at least it can guarantee that the business of Changlefang Big Bank will not be greatly affected.

Now Yu Nuannuan is far away in Fuyu Country, how is she doing?

By the way, Yu Nuannuan is not here, Liang Ershao and Chai Lingwen are still there!Changlefang Big Bank does not belong to him alone, so they should also know about it.

Thinking of this, Guo Ye called Sun Zishan over as soon as he waved his hand, and ordered him to find Liang Ershao and Chai Lingwen.

Sun Zishan was really quick to do things this time, within an hour, he heard the sound of footsteps, and Sun Zishan brought the two of them here!

Guo Ye quickly went out to greet him, saying: "You two are always nice, Guo Ye is far away, Wan Wang..."

Before the words "forgive me" came out, Guo Ye's voice stopped abruptly!

He asked in surprise: "You two... What... What happened to this? How did you become like this?"

In Guo Ye's impression, Er Shao Liang had always been well-dressed and spotless, even a little too clean.

As for Chai Lingwen, although he is not as exaggerated as Liang Ershao, he is also well-dressed and well-mannered. Anyone who looks at him will give him a thumbs up.

But now, these two are full of travel and dust, and their clothes are not very clean.Even his complexion is much worse.If the eyes were not still so bright, Guo Ye would have suspected that they were sick.

Chai Lingwen listened to Guo Ye's words, but he clicked his tongue and said, "Oh, there is a saying, the expensive is easy to pay, the rich is easy to marry, the old man is sincere and I can't be deceived!"

Guo Ye frowned and said, "Lingwen, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? Guo Ye, when the Changlefang Bank was first built a few years ago, the relationship between the three of us was so close. But now, tell me, how long has it been since we met?"

"Yes... I'm afraid it will be two... two years!"

"It's still true. We haven't seen each other for two years since you became the Duke of Qin. That's how you make friends? You have to say that you are my brother-in-law. If there is no such relationship, when will you think of us? It's hard to say!"

Liang Ershao also chimed in and said, "Brother Chai, in my opinion, if I hadn't made friends with you, it's not sure whether I would be able to enter Qin Guogong's door today! Speaking of which, I borrowed your money today." Empty!"

"Hmph, what's the point of making friends with such heartless and ungrateful people? It's not about taking advantage of it!"

Being squeezed by these two people, Guo Ye also looked a little embarrassed, and said: "You two misunderstood, I am not an expensive deal. I have been sent to Silla for more than a year, how can I meet the two elder brothers?" ?”

"What about when you come back from your mission?"

"Well, it's really hard to describe. After returning from the mission, I was granted the title of Chang'an Order by His Majesty, and solved three major cases one after another. The smallest case involved Cen Wenwen, the secretary's servant..."

Then, Guo Ye briefly explained the three major cases, and finally he said: "So, this is really not my fault! I've been too busy recently!"

"So it's like this! Guo Ye, you are really hard-pressed, so we will forgive you so-so!"
