In the evening that day, the wind was slightly cool, and the afterglow of the sunset burned the sky red, slantingly illuminating the earth with a bright red color.

Cheng Chumo returned to Chang'an City and walked out of the pace of recognizing relatives. Cheng Chuxue was also back with him, and the girl's pretty face was also full of murderous intent.

The siblings did not go home, but went directly to Chang'an West City. The so-called buying horses in the east city and buying an anthracite in the west city. If Chang'an East City is a place where high-ranking officials and nobles stop, then Chang'an West City is a place for the needs of the hundreds of ordinary people.

There are a wide variety of things sold here, involving all kinds of businesses such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Salt, iron, tea bricks, firewood, utensils for women to sew and repair tools, and carts for peddlers to walk through villages and alleys. As long as it is used for people's livelihood, there are shops in West Chang'an City.

The brother and brother had a clear purpose and went straight to a certain store.

This is also a super-large store, occupying the most prosperous place in Chang'an West City. Standing at the door and looking around, you can't see the head on the left and the head on the right. The scale of this store is too large, with dozens of shops.

Wang's goods store!

It is also a warehouse. The warehouse of Wang's warehouse is larger than the warehouse of Cui's warehouse, and the door is bright and elegant. Each shop is equipped with at least ten servants.

But, very arrogant!

No matter what kind of guest comes to the door, the servant will look at it first. If the guest is dressed in an ordinary manner, the servant will be lazy and unwilling to pay attention to it. He speaks arrogantly. He usually points to his own plaque and says, "Look it clearly first, this is the Wang family warehouse."

The implications of this are self-evident, and we will not accept small vendors.

He is so arrogant in business that he even has some owed money, but there are actually many customers, and every customer has to smile.

The reason is very simple. Wang's main business is to sell salt, and it is not retail, and it is generally a bulk transaction.

In a sentence from later generations, this is a trusted monopoly.

Just look at the situation of his guests, you can tell that there are people from all over the world, people from the East and West Liao who speak vulgar local dialects, and occasionally you can see some Turkic men with hooked noses, holding a piece of sheepskin in their hands and constantly squeezing into the shop.

The sheepskin contains Chinese words, usually hundreds of cows or hundreds of sheep, and some even have horses on them. These cattle, sheep and horses are all used for salt exchange.

Throughout the dynasties, salt and iron were short of ethnic minorities. However, although salt and iron are known as national control, they are actually all controlled by aristocratic families.

The so-called official salt is a joke...

Because the courts are always changed, the aristocratic families have always been a long history and the courts are frequently replaced, and many technologies are not as good as the aristocratic families. Therefore, the price of official salt is very high, and even the Interior Office of Empress Changsun is unwilling to purchase it.

Everyone is more willing to buy salt from the aristocratic family.

Although it is expensive, it is cheaper than official salt.

The salt industry is monopolized by the Wang family in Taiyuan, so his warehouse is not short of buyers.

It is precisely because there is no shortage of buyers that the business is more powerful, the shopkeeper is full of arrogance, and the servants are also facing the sky.

But this evening, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuxue came.

The siblings rushed into the store directly. Cheng Chumo kicked over a servant who wanted to ask questions, then shouted, and shouted like thunder: "Who is the shopkeeper? Come and talk."

Who doesn’t know the little bully in Chang’an? He just smashed the Cui family’s warehouse not long ago, and now it is the time to be in full swing.

The group of servants bullied the weak and were afraid of the strong, so no one came forward to accuse him of beating others.

This matter must be brought forward by the shopkeeper!

...

The Wang family in Taiyuan is known as the top five clans, so naturally they would not be afraid of Cheng Chumo. Soon they saw the shopkeeper slowly walking out, staring at Cheng Chumo with a smile and said, "It turns out to be the son of Duke Lu's mansion."

Cheng Chumo stared at him and said, "Yes, it's me. You are the shopkeeper of the Wang family's warehouse. You have the final say in the business of the Wang family?"

The shopkeeper laughed twice and said proudly: "I, Wang Xun, is from the Wang family's direct lineage. If it is a small matter, I can barely make a decision."

"What kind of thing is a trivial matter?"

"For example, tens of thousands of kilograms of salt, thousands of jin of jin, the Turkish merchants outside the border, and the transactions in the eastern and western regions of Liao can be considered trivial matters, and I can barely make the decision."

Although this is arrogant, it is extremely important to say something, and no matter what is involved, it is not considered easy.

Cheng Chumo said yelling.

Wang Xun looked at Cheng Chumo with a smile, then looked at Cheng Chuxue next to him, and suddenly said, "You two come to my Wang family warehouse. Is it because there is a big deal to discuss? I heard that you want to pickle salted fish, are you going to buy a batch of fine salt? Hahaha, it is worthy of being the Duke Lu's mansion, and the family background seems to be very rich."

At first glance, this sentence sounds like a compliment, but there is a hidden ridicule in secret. It is nothing more than saying that Cheng Chumo wants to pickle salted fish with fine salt, which means that he is stupid and can't make a profit.

Although Cheng Chumo was so stupid, he was not a real fool. This old guy was so sarcastic that Cheng Chumo could understand even if he was stupid.

However, Cheng Chumo deliberately pretended not to understand.

You read it right, Cheng Chumo deliberately pretended not to understand.

Before he came today, he had to give a "expert guidance" and Li Yun made him pretend to be stupid and stupid.

The little bully just glared at his eyes and said to the sky: "Who said I want to buy salt? I don't have that much spare money."

This was to lead to the following words, but Wang Xun had misunderstood. The old guy's face darkened and he snorted coldly: "You can smash and rob Cui's warehouse because your in-laws are unwilling to pursue it. But if you dare to provoke me, Wang in Taiyuan, I don't care whether you are a child or not. Children of the Cheng family, don't cause trouble for your father..."

"I'll go!"

Cheng Chumo was a donkey's temper, and he immediately exploded when he heard this. This guy had forgotten Li Yun's advice to him and cursed: "What kind of dog do you think you are? You dare to say that I dare not mess with me. Believe it or not, I will open your head now, and then bring the servants' team to smash your broken store."

Old man Wang Xun's face turned even colder, and his words were like the cold wind blowing from the ground, and he said extremely coldly: "I said you will die."

"Your mother!"

Cheng Chumo rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists and was about to hit someone.

At this moment, Cheng Chuxue suddenly reached out to stop him. The girl glared at Cheng Chumo first, then turned to look at Wang Xun opposite him, and said arrogantly: "My Cheng family is not afraid of trouble, but she doesn't cause trouble. The Cheng family will not do the second time like smashing a shop. Old Wang Xun, I respect you for your old age and forgive you for your mockery just now, but I don't want to have another next time. Otherwise, even if the Cheng family fights to the last person, they will have to fight with you Wang."

Old guy Wang Xun snorted, holding his own identity and unwilling to talk to a girl.

Cheng Chuxue said again: "I really want to buy something when I come here this time, but it is not the salt you guessed. What we are going to buy is a salt mine."

"Salt mine?"

The old guy was stunned for a moment, then his face became even colder, and he said in a sequel: "It seems that the Cheng family really wants to go to war with the Wang family, and you dare to make an idea of ​​the salt mine."

Cheng Chuxue sniffed and said with contempt: "If you really want to fight, the Cheng family will continue, but don't blame me for not explaining in advance. What we are going to buy is the stone salt mine."

At this time, Cheng Chumo also reacted and hurriedly said, "Yes, buying a stone salt mine is not a well salt mine or a lake salt mine. Old man, have you heard clearly? What we are going to buy is a stone salt mine..."

Stone salt mine?

The poisonous one?
