Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1957

It can be said that after this battle, Li Quan was completely terrified by Guo Ye!Back then, he had swornly declared that it was absolutely impossible for Guo Ye to improve the production technology of flat glass.Now, for this assertion, he himself does not believe it.

……

Of course, Qian Dakai is not completely clear about the cause and effect of this matter.

But now, since the five great gentry have decided to admit defeat, they have closed the glass workshop.Naturally, the confidentiality of the glass workshop was relaxed.

Qian Dakai easily found out the current production cost of flat glass.After a little more analysis, we can understand the current predicament of the five noble families.

Guo Ye laughed loudly after hearing this, and said, "So, the five great gentry clans are already at the end of their ropes. Didn't they use Deng Qibin to develop more advanced technology?"

"Whether there is more advanced technology, I dare not speak nonsense. However, the technology of these dozens of glazed workshops is indeed exactly the same as it was half a year ago. In fact, Deng Yangren has never appeared in the glass workshop in the past six months. "

Guo Ye frowned, and said, "Then what the hell do you think the five great gentry are doing? What's the point of them hiding Deng Qibin?"

"Uh... oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and those born in Huaibei are oranges. Deng Yang can show his strengths with Qin Guogong, but he has nothing to do with the five great noble families. This only shows that the five great noble families are not good at employing people."

"Stop flattering!" Guo Ye said, "If the five great gentry clans can't employ people, they won't be able to research the production technology of cheap colored glaze. There must be another explanation for this matter."

"The villain heard that after Deng Qibin came to our Tang Dynasty, he refused to accept the climate and fell into a serious illness. Do you think he has a relapse of his old illness, or even died?"

"This is somewhat possible. But the possibility is still not great." Guo Ye waved his hand and said: "Forget it, fantasy is useless, let's not talk about it. You have done a good job in this matter, and I will reward you later. Retire Come down!"

"Yes!"

……

Dozens of glass workshops involve millions of dollars of money.It is impossible for their sudden stoppage of work to be a trick of the five noble families.

What is certain is that there must be something wrong with Deng Yangren now, and he has not played his due role.As for what exactly happened, it's not a big deal even if you can't figure it out for a while. This is not the top priority now.

Now, the most important thing for Guo Ye is to buy those dozens of glass workshops.

Although it is said that with Guo Ye's financial resources, he can support his own glass workshop at a loss.But once the glass workshops of the five noble families collapsed, his support was meaningless.

If it's not for the purpose of attacking the enemy, who would make a profit at a loss?

But what about raising the price?Or not!Those glass workshops just stop production, and when the price rises, they can revive.

We must take advantage of the current good situation to buy these workshops, so that the five noble families will completely lose their chance to make a comeback.

But how exactly?

Guo Ye personally sent someone to discuss with Li Quan, wanting to sell all the glass workshops?Even if Li Quan was poor and crazy, he couldn't agree.

What about impersonating someone?It's still not easy.

Millions of dollars were involved in this business.People with so much wealth must have their own heels.The five great gentry clans can find out the truth with a little inquiring.

In the end how to do?

Guo Ye frowned, thinking about it!

Chapter 1804

In the 13th year of Zhenguan, the eighth day of the seventh month.

The red sun is scorching like fire, and the seedlings in the wild fields are half-scorched.The farmer's heart is boiling like soup, and the prince and grandson shake the fan.

As the head of the Li family in Longxi, Li Quan had nothing to do with farmers.To be honest, he can barely be regarded as the son of a prince.

However, his mood at this time is not much different from that of the farmer, or even worse.The farmer's heart is like soup, and his heart is like oil!

He threw a teacup far away and smashed it to pieces!

"How do you work? Why is this tea so hot? The taste of the tea is not right, why is it completely different from the previous ones!" Li Quan growled sharply.

The little maid replied tremblingly: "This is your favorite Mengding tea. Maybe it's because your old man got angry recently, and you feel that something is wrong..."

"You still dare to be stubborn? Fuck you!" Li Quan kicked the little girl to the ground.Then he was still angry, and said angrily: "Come here, drag this lowly servant girl down, beat him to death with sticks, and then drag him to the mass grave to feed the dogs!"

"Yes!"

"Forgive me! Patriarch, please forgive me..."

"Noisy! Take it away!"

Seeing that the little maid was about to die, a burst of hearty laughter came: "Hey, Patriarch Li, why are you so angry? Wouldn't it be violent to kill such a beautiful woman? To save face for the old man, let her Let it go!"

The curtain was lifted, and someone came in, but it was Guo's uncle Yin Hongzhi.

As for Uncle Yin Guo, Li Quan really didn't pay attention to him before.

According to the official statement, his official position is AMTD Zhichang, the seventh rank.The grade of this official position is too low, even in Qi Wangfu, he can only be regarded as a middle-level cadre.It is simply impossible to enter the eyes of the five noble families.

Yin Hongzhi also has a special status, that is, the younger brother of Concubine Yin, the eldest brother of His Majesty Li Er, and the uncle of Qi Wang Li You.He can be regarded as a serious relative of the emperor.The status of this status is indeed not low.

But his ability... is really not very good. People only respect him on the surface, but they don't take him seriously at all in their hearts.This is especially true for Li Quan, who is proud and arrogant.

Circumstances are stronger than people, though.Now, after Li Quan's planning, the five major noble families are all in trouble.

Facing this Uncle Guo, he naturally couldn't hold back his temper—no matter how incompetent Yin Hongzhi is, he didn't toss away the family property of Prince Qi's mansion!In terms of results, you, Li Quan, are not as good as Uncle Guo!

Li Quan clasped his fists together and said, "It turns out that Uncle Guo came here, and Li has lost his way and greeted him. I hope you will forgive me!"

"Where, where, Patriarch Li is too polite." Yin Hongzhi replied with a smile.

The two sides divided the guests and hosts into seats.

Yin Hongzhi coughed lightly, and said, "Patriarch Li, your old man has become increasingly angry recently. If I remember correctly, this maid was confiscated by you. Why did you ask her for a trivial matter?" His life? This is too ruthless."

Li Quan lowered his head and said: "Uncle Guo laughed at me, what Li did just now was really inappropriate, to be honest, I just took my anger out on others."

"Are you still angry with that fellow Guo Ye? Listen to Uncle Ben Guo's persuasion, you should always be careful. There is a saying that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs..."

Li Quan smiled wryly, and said: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, this is true. But I have only lost, I have never won!"

"Uh... That's true. But even then, you don't have to be discouraged. Remember when Han Gaozu faced Shang Xiang Yu, he always lost every time. Only the last time, the Battle of Wujiang, forced King Xiang to commit suicide at Gaixia. And Goujian, the king of Yue, lived on his salary and tasted his courage..."

Li Quan waved his hand and said, "Uncle Guo, there is no need to say any more. Thank you for your kind words and persuasion. In fact, what worries me most now is not this failure, but the aftermath of this matter."

"Are you referring to those dozens of glass workshops?"

"Exactly. These workshops are worth several million coins. If they can be sold, they can solve the urgent needs of our five noble families. It is a pity that everyone knows that our glass workshop is a money-losing business, and no one has been willing to Take over. How can this be done?"

Speaking of this, he sighed, and said, "Uncle Guo, maybe you were right at the beginning. If Deng Yangren hadn't died, our five great gentry clans would not have fallen into such a situation."
