Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1917

"Brother Yu doesn't think so. The general will not raise troops out of anger. If Zhang Liang doesn't even understand this truth, how could His Majesty entrust bad people to him for so many years? Besides, the timing is not right!"

Chai Lingwen paused for a moment, and continued: "It's been more than a month since His Majesty gave his decree when he came to the door. Isn't it long enough for him to calm down?"

Of course Guo Ye could argue that after His Majesty Li Er made the decree to confiscate the glazed vessels, he approved the resignations of Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda.For a while, the reputations of Guo Ye and His Majesty Li Er were all bad.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Liang must be so happy to watch the joke?How could it be possible to be extremely angry?It was only after the dust settled, seeing that the glazed vessel was gone, and Guo Ye passed the test, that he became anxious.

But now is not the time for verbal disputes, Guo Ye also wanted to hear Chai Lingwen's opinion, and said: "Then what do you mean..."

"In my opinion, Zhang Liang's move is called beating the grass to startle the snake."

"Shock the grass to scare the snake, how do you say this?"

"I think back then, you used the strategy of slowing down the troops to delay the five major noble families for two years. Today, the effect of the strategy of slowing down the troops is still there. Zhang Liang is still afraid that after he produced a large number of glazed vessels, you would come up with cheaper, high-quality glassware. Better glassware."

Guo Ye understood as soon as he heard it, and said: "So, he deliberately challenged me. Then he sent people to closely monitor me, and then adjusted the production plan according to my reflection? Yes, yes, your conjecture is probably worse than that. Mine is more realistic."

"That's what it means. If you don't make any noise, he will produce a large number of glazed products. On the contrary, if you start a glass workshop right away, I'm afraid he will shrink back."

Liang Ershao said: "So, the question now is whether our glass workshop should be kept a secret. In other words, do we want the five noble families to make a lot of glazed vessels to compete with us, or do we hope they will quit in spite of the difficulties!"

Guo Ye said: "There are people who can be thieves for a thousand days, how can there be people who can guard against thieves for a thousand days? This time they retreated, maybe some other moths will come out. Of course, we must use this opportunity to teach the five noble families a lesson! but……"

He sighed, and said: "It's a pity that the production cost of our glassware is much higher than that of the five great gentry families. Now if we start a war, we will hurt the enemy by [-] and ourselves by [-]. If It can be a few months later, and we can wait until our costs are reduced before going to war."

Chai Lingwen shook his head, and said, "Mr. Qin, you are so unpopular. You want to make the five noble families dare not to fight with us rashly, and at the same time ask them to make colored glaze with confidence. Isn't this contradictory?"

Liang Ershao thought for a while, and said: "It's not completely impossible. This is the same as when we buy things, we demand high quality and low price. The key is how to grasp this speed."

Guo Ye said: "Everyone should go back and think about it before making a decision. The top priority now is to build the glass workshop without being discovered by Zhang Liang's people. As long as this is done, we will be invincible. The only difference is how much damage can be caused to the enemy."

Chai Lingwen said: "Leave this matter to me!"

"Can you be sure?"

Chai Lingwen said proudly: "If I can't do such a thing well, how can I take your shares? Just look at it!"

"Then please, Brother Chai."

……

……

Things have developed to the present, and the construction of the glass workshop is considered to be over.As for whether it can be delayed for a few more months, it is not that important to Guo Ye.

Changlefang Big Bank has been developing for so many years, and its family background is strong. Even if it just started losing money and making money, it can fully support it.

As soon as Guo Ye's mood relaxed, his lust arose again, and he came to Yang Fengyi's small courtyard.

Since returning to Datang, on the one hand, everything was complicated, and on the other hand, in order to appease the original family's one wife and two concubines, the progress of attacking Yang Fengyi has completely stopped.Until now, the two have not been married.

As soon as Guo Ye entered the small courtyard, he heard a burst of laughter like silver bells.He was too familiar with this voice, it was Princess Shanhua's voice.

Brother Guo turned his mind and thought to himself, maybe I didn't succeed in capturing Yang Fengyi, she should capture Princess Shanhua first.

Opening the door, the two beauties smiled like flowers and sat together intimately.

Yang Fengyi was also taken aback when she saw Guo Ye, and said, "My lord, what kind of wind brought you here? It's really hard for you, remember me."

Guo Ye said with a playful smile: "I remember, why don't I remember? But I have been busy with business recently, so I haven't come to see you, so I apologize to you."

"Busy business? But sister Shanhua didn't see you less often!"

Princess Shanhua blushed and said, "Sister Fengyi, what are you talking about!"

"Sister Shanhua, don't be angry, I mean our husband is biased, and he didn't intend to target you."

Guo Ye knew that there was no way to argue about this issue, so he changed the subject and said, "What were you discussing just now, and you were talking so happily?"

Yang Fengyi glanced at him, and said: "Our sisters are talking about some girls' private conversations, sir, please don't get involved."

Seeing that Guo Ye was blocked by Yang Fengyi, Princess Shanhua couldn't bear to speak.

She said: "It's not a private topic. As we said just now, it's the end of August now. Why are mosquitoes still so rampant? If you don't pay attention, you will bite the mosquitoes into several bags. Sister Feng Yi laughed at me and said, then It’s because I’m so fragrant that even mosquitoes want to bite.”

"Then how do you answer?"

"I said, if that's the case, Sister Fengyi will be more fragrant, won't she be eaten by mosquitoes? Hee hee!"

What's so funny about that?Women are truly incomprehensible creatures to men.

Guo Ye reluctantly laughed a few times, and then said: "This is called the mosquitoes in autumn. There is no good way, and we can only burn more wormwood!"

Princess Shanhua frowned, and said, "I can't get used to the smell. Although there were mosquitoes in Silla, they were not as bad as those in Chang'an, and it will be over if you bear it, but in Chang'an, this autumn is really sad." .”

"Then sprinkle some toilet water."

"Color water? What is that?"

Only then did Guo Ye realize that toilet water did not exist during the Tang Dynasty.He explained: "Simply put, it is to use strong wine to extract the essence of flowers. The fragrance is strong and can repel mosquitoes."

"Sounds really good, let's try it. Husband, which shop sells the toilet water you are talking about?"

"Uh... this product was produced in the far west, and it seems that there is really no place to sell it in Datang."

Yang Fengyi rolled her eyes and said, "It's as if I haven't said anything!"

Princess Shanhua knew more about Guo Ye than Yang Fengyi. She knew that her husband had a lot of whimsical ideas.

She said: "Husband, do you know the method of making toilet water?"

How can a man say no to a woman?Guo Ye slapped his swollen face to pretend to be fat, and said, "It can only be said that I know a thing or two."

"Then ask your husband to write down the prescription, and I will try to make it myself."

Where did Guo Ye remember the formula of toilet water?He could only evade and say, "I'm afraid it won't work. For spirits alone, our current wines can't meet the requirements."

Princess Shanhua said: "It doesn't have to be exactly the same as in the Far West, it's almost enough. You'd better write down the prescription. The concubine is also boring, maybe I can really make it."

"Is this..."

When Guo Ye didn't know how to answer, a little servant girl ran in and said, "Duke Qin, I have a visitor asking to see you!"

"What guest?"

"She said... she said that she is your concubine who hasn't been married yet..."
