Chapter 56 Catching the Spy
According to Li Xiang's original idea, sales will definitely not increase in a short period of time, because the principle of hunger sales is to keep the topic hot while keeping it unavailable to everyone. However, after the current investigation, Li Xiang believes that an increase of five Ten pounds is still no problem.
"I can increase the supply by fifty kilograms starting from tomorrow, but this is already the limit. It is impossible to increase it in a short time. The main reason is that the various ingredients are too difficult."
Sun Pingting was very happy when she heard that she had gained fifty pounds. You must know that adding fifty pounds is equivalent to earning an extra three hundred and fifty guan every day. It sounds like a small amount per day, but it is not a lot in one month. It’s a decimal.
Taking advantage of the eldest grandson Pingting's happiness, Li Xiang immediately told the Cui family's affairs. Of course, Li Xiang did not say to do that little favor, but wanted the two of them to deal with it together. Your eldest grandson's family can't just make money and do nothing. , what the Cui family has to deal with is our common industry, so we should deal with it together.
"I should have thought of this a long time ago. In the past few days, the Cui family's sales of high-end liquor have been almost zero. This is their main source of liquor business. They used to earn hundreds of dollars a day, but now they suddenly don't. , it is normal to have thoughts, this is the Cui family, the first family of the Five Surnames and Qiwang, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the first family of the entire Tang Dynasty, you must be cautious when dealing with them."
Changsun Pingting frowned when she talked about the Cui family. Their family ran the liquor business, but the liquor business was also the pillar industry of the Changsun family. The Cui family also ran the liquor business, but the liquor business was only one of the main businesses of the Cui family. Inferior industry.
Even so, the family still occupies two-thirds of Chang'an City, and the Changsun family only occupies one-third. From this, we can also see the gap between the two families.
"How does aunt think this should be handled?"
Li Xiang is not afraid of any challenges, but living in this era, doing things must comply with some of the regulations of this era. Five surnames and seven hopes can make Li Shimin temporarily retreat, let alone his own grandson.
"We must fight back. According to our previous conclusions, if we tolerate their provocation, then these big families will take advantage of them. By the time we want to fight back, we won't even have the strength to fight back."
Changsun Pingting said firmly that if any big family wants to rise, it must go head-to-head. If you want to take advantage of the situation, this is probably not advisable. It will be misunderstood by others as weak. The profits of liquor were so high at that time. I don’t know how many people are coming to enjoy the autumn breeze.
"It seems that my aunt and I have the same idea. Before I left home, my father once told me a way. Is it possible for my aunt to listen to it?"
The atmosphere had already reached this point, and Li Xiang spoke out naturally.
"Your father is indeed still the same prince he was back then. It seems that his head has not been wasted these days. You wait here for now. I will send someone to investigate right away."
For a while, Changsun Pingting had no idea, but after listening to Li Chengqian's idea, Changsun Pingting also felt that it was a good idea, and everything was done within the rules.
Changsun Wuji is responsible for the world's spies. This is a secret among the common people, but for high-level young masters like them, these are secrets that cannot be told. As Changsun Wuji's right-hand man, Changsun Pingting can naturally find out a lot. news.
Before Li Xiang finished drinking his tea, Changsun Pingting had already returned.
"There is a man named Sun Zhenghao. This man entered China during the reign of Emperor Sui Yang and has been working for the Kingdom of Korea. Although he is not in Changlefang, he is a frequent visitor to Fuyun Restaurant..."
After Changsun Pingting said this, Li Xiang knew what to do.
Li Xiang finished the tea in his cup and was about to get down to business. If you send someone to steal my formula, I will raid your restaurant.
"Chunyan, you go with His Highness. If anything happens, please listen to His Highness. With my token, you can mobilize all the hands of my eldest son's family."
Hearing Changsun Pingting's words, Li Xiang didn't change his expression, but he was very happy in his heart.
Changsun Pingting is different from others, others will only take advantage of her behind her back, but Changsun Pingting is really willing to deal with her when something happens.
"Slave, you obey!"
Li Xiang raised his head and took a look. This was the maid next to Changsun Pingting. She looked soft and frail, especially her big eyes, which flickered and spoke. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a practitioner.
The Ministry of War Yamen.
Li Jing happened to be sitting in court today to manage politics. He didn't expect that Li Xiang would come to work, let alone that Li Xiang would come to him. But at this moment, Li Xiang was standing in front of him, and he wanted to eliminate Gao Li's spies in Chang'an.
Isn't this just looking for trouble for yourself? What's more, Changsun Wuji is responsible for finding spies.
"But what did you hear?"
Li Jing said with some suspicion, even if Li Xiangqin had to go to work, there was no need to cross the line! If you did what happened to Changsun Wuji, would Changsun Wuji be willing? Li Jing was not willing to offend that old Yin man.
"Please rest assured, Lord Shangshu, I have already asked Lord Changsun for instructions."
Li Xiang took out Changsun Pingting's token, and Li Jing remained silent. He guessed that Li Xiang wanted to express himself and get to that position. If he had no merit, it would be difficult for Li Shimin to take him seriously. It would be really embarrassing. These are the princes and grandsons.
But others are looking for people who are easy to achieve political achievements. You choose to do this job of catching spies. If you catch spies, it will be a small achievement. If you don't catch them, it will be easy for others to say that you are incompetent. I really don't know what this kid is thinking. No matter what you think, of course General Li Jing supports it.
"This is an official document I have issued to you. Take this official document and you can arrest any Korean people in Chang'an City. You can hear me clearly. It is only limited to Korean people. If they are people from the Tang Dynasty, whether they are common people or Officials must have evidence."
General Li Jing also knew that Li Xiang was not a simple master, and he had to be shackles. If he was allowed to run wild, he would inevitably have to wipe his ass. After all, he issued this official document himself. .
"Don't worry, Lord Shangshu, my subordinates know what they are doing and will definitely capture all the spies and bring them to justice."
When Li Xiang took the document, General Li Jing suddenly felt chilled in his heart, because he just saw a happy flash in Li Xiang's eyes. Catching spies is not a good thing. Could there be something else going on here? ? But the documents have been given, and there is no way to get them back now...
