Chapter 109 [Finally found the man behind the pot]... 3 more(1/2)
No matter how smart the people of this era are, they still lack the vision of more than a thousand years.
No one has ever heard of the term economic war.
So we don’t know how powerful the economy is.
Starting from today, Gu Tianya is ready to 'go' again, but this time is different from the previous one, because he is not gritting his teeth and enduring it with all his strength.
He changed his mind.
He wants to make the family feel that he is not a threat.
Not only was there no threat, it was even helpful, until all the aristocratic families had the illusion that they could make a fortune as long as they were friendly with him.
The net has quietly closed.
As the saying goes, if you want to take something, you must give it first. He is now actively selling some secret recipes, which is the beginning of giving illusions to the world's aristocratic families.
If you make friends with Gu Tianya, you can make a fortune.
…
But how could Zheng Guanyu and others know Gu Tianya's thoughts?
Everyone present only thought that Gu Tianya wanted to insist on the selling price of the secret recipe, so he took the initiative to help them propose a way to sell it to foreigners.
In fact, everyone in the family had already thought of this, but they just pretended not to know it in order to bargain. When they heard Gu Tianya revealed it, everyone immediately knew that they could not lower the price.
Since you can't lower the price, then just do it...
Zheng Guanyu spoke first and said with a solemn face: "The secret recipe for tea is one hundred thousand guan. Zheng family in Xingyang wants a share. I just wonder, brother-in-law Gu, how you want to settle the matter, whether it's money or silk."
Gu Tianya did not hesitate and said in a deep voice: "Food."
Zheng Guanyu seemed to have expected it, and said with a smile: "Within a month, all the food will be shipped to you. It will be the beginning of spring. I guess brother-in-law Gu will lead the people to reclaim the wasteland. With this food, you Miyun
The county can survive the recession..."
The other several people also spoke up and said repeatedly: "We are also willing to give you food and buy a secret recipe for tea."
The deal is done.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone mentioned the matter and said with a smile: "We originally thought that Brother Gu would not change the past and would be opposed to doing business with foreigners, but we didn't know that you actually proposed that we sell tea to the Turks on the grassland.
."
Gu Tianya smiled slightly, suddenly turned his head and looked to the north, and said in a half-serious tone: "As long as I am not an enemy, why should I feel conflicted? According to the agreement between the royal family and the aristocratic family, I will never be allowed to be an official or take power, I can only be a person.
Merchant, I want to be a wealthy man, so I will also do business with the grassland in the future..."
Everyone was slightly startled and carefully observed his expression. Unfortunately, Gu Tianya looked sincere, as if he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Zheng Guanyu's words were probing, and he pretended to be curious: "I wonder if brother-in-law Gu has any other rare things. Things like salt and iron are definitely not allowed to be sold to the grassland."
Gu Tianya chuckled and pretended not to hear clearly.
At this time, Cui Zhai from the Cui family in Qinghe suddenly spoke, also pretending to be curious, and said with a smile: "Since I met Brother Gu today, Cui was very surprised about Brother Gu. You are obviously from a poor background, why?
Do you have so many secret recipes?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Tianya and added with profound meaning: "For example, red bricks are used for construction. For example, iron smelting is indispensable for both military and civilians. And then there is tea, which belongs to the way of eating. If you count
That overbearing and strange hidden weapon has already involved four completely different industries. What kind of ancestors can be involved in such a wide range of industries..."
His words brought out the thoughts of everyone.
Even Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin actually had this doubt in their hearts.
Even Zhao Ning was equally curious, but Zhao Ning had been patient and didn't ask, she didn't want to embarrass Gu Tianya.
…
This question is indeed difficult for Gu Tianya to answer.
Because he couldn't find the right words and excuses.
You must know that there are loopholes in any lie, and a lie requires countless lies to conceal it.
Fortunately, at this moment, things suddenly turned around.
But hearing the hurried steps outside, it seemed that someone had arrived in a hurry. After the man entered the inn courtyard, he ran to the steps at the door of the house. It turned out to be a servant of a noble family, and he obviously had something to report.
But first he glanced at Gu Tianya. For some reason, there was fear in his eyes. The hearts of the family members present were moved. Zheng Guanyu suddenly said: "Brother-in-law Gu is not an outsider. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
The servant then spoke and whispered: "Sir, something happened."
He didn't wait for Zheng Guanyu to ask him, and then spoke again: "Someone from the Lu family in Fanyang came on horseback and told us a strange thing. They said that at noon today, a man suddenly appeared in front of the Lu family's door.
The old Taoist, that old Taoist was very old, but he was carrying a person extremely easily in his hands. He threw the person in front of the Lu family's door, then sneered three times and turned away. When the Lu family's people reacted, the man suddenly appeared
The old Taoist priest has disappeared, and the man who is still on the ground is actually Young Master Zhaoyun of the Fanyang Lu family..."
"Lu Zhaoyun?"
"Abandoned by an old Taoist priest at the doorstep?"
Everyone looked stunned.
However, he saw the servant peeking at Gu Tianya, his tone suddenly became weird, and he said cautiously: "Master Lu Zhaoyun, his breath has long been cut off, and the most frightening thing is that his mouth has been sewn shut..."
The six major aristocratic families present, plus Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and even Zhao Ning and Xiao Qing Xiaorou, all looked at Gu Tianya.
Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya also looked stunned and couldn't help but said: "What do you think I am doing? I am also confused about this matter."
Zheng Guanyu observed his expression carefully and said tentatively: "This morning, when we were fighting at the county government office, Sister Xiuning once said that she would sew Lu Zhaoyun's mouth shut, but we all knew that Sister Xiuning
With her character, she would never be so sneaky if she really wanted to take action..."
Gu Tianya nodded and said, "So you doubt me?"
Zheng Guanyu also nodded and said bluntly: "Because you also said at that time that Lu Zhaoyun's mouth would be sewn shut."
Gu Tianya's face looked extremely strange. He also felt puzzled and couldn't help but said: "Yes, I have said this too."
At this time, Cui Zhai suddenly spoke, and said with deep meaning: "Do you still remember that a strange thing happened today? Someone once made a rumor outside the county government office, but after chasing him out, there was no trace. The person said that Gu Tianya's
There is a backstage behind you..."
How could everyone forget this? They immediately looked at Gu Tianya again.
Gu Tianya slowly shook his head and said solemnly: "Do you need me to swear an oath?"
His statement clearly showed that he really didn't know. Everyone present looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Zheng Guanyu turned to look at the servant and said in a deep voice: "The person who reported the news from the Fan Yang Lu family is still here."
Are you here?"
The servant nodded quickly, then suddenly shook his head and said: "Master Qi, I am not here to report the news, but to investigate, and those who came are two direct descendants."
Zheng Guanyu pondered for a moment and said to Gu Tianya: "Brother-in-law Gu, you are the master." The implication is self-evident. As a guest, it is not convenient for him to make his own decisions.
Gu Tianya nodded and said to the Zheng family servant: "Can you please show me the way? I'll go meet the other party's people."
Zheng's servant quickly turned around and hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way.
Gu Tianya and everyone looked at each other and said in a deep voice: "Since you all have doubts, you might as well bear witness together..."
After saying that, he raised his feet and ran after the servant.
…
The Fan Yang Lu family is just outside the village entrance. They are indeed two direct descendants, and they are very familiar with everyone in the family. At first glance, these two direct descendants appear to be smart and capable people, and they do not have Lu Zhaoyun's dandy vibe at all.
When they saw everyone coming, they first raised their hands and spoke in an extremely easy-going tone without any anger. They just said: "My brother has been in Miyun County in the past few days, so we only want to ask one thing here."
, has he offended anyone? Has anyone said anything special?"
Gu Tianya didn't hide anything and said directly: "I said something special if he offended me. This morning, I said I would sew his bad mouth shut."
The two direct descendants of the Lu family looked at him together, and for some reason they nodded and said in a deep voice: "My brother has an arrogant personality. He must have offended you with his words. He often does this kind of thing to make enemies, so
We don't feel any surprise...but we still want to ask, did you sew his mouth shut?"
Gu Tianya laughed, pointed at the aristocratic family present, and said: "You are your own people, you can go and seek verification."
Zheng Guanyu stepped out from the crowd and said solemnly: "Gu Tianya has been entertaining us since leaving the county government today. He has never left our sight, so it is impossible for him to do this."
After thinking about it for a while, he added: "He has never told anyone that he wants to trouble Lu Zhaoyun."
The two direct descendants of the Lu family nodded together, and then asked again, "Apart from this little brother Gu, has anyone else in my family offended anyone?"
Zhao Ning snorted softly from the side and said coldly: "I also said that I would sew up his bad mouth. But you should know that I will not do things secretly."
The two direct descendants of the Lu family nodded again and said: "Princess Pingyang is a hero among women. She has a more upright and upright personality than men. You really don't despise killing people secretly."
When the two of them said this, they suddenly looked at Gu Tianya and said, "As for this little brother Gu, we can also be sure that he didn't do anything, because we know who the enemy is."
Everyone present was stunned, and strong curiosity burst out in their hearts. Even Gu Tianya couldn't help but take two steps forward and subconsciously asked: "Who is it?"
He cares about this more than anyone else.
However, the two direct descendants of the Lu family suddenly sighed and said in an extremely solemn tone: "On the clothes of my younger brother, someone wrote a poem in blood. In the Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of families fought, and for thousands of years, the inner sect was inscribed.
Craftsmanship is as close to Tao as it is to kill Confucians."
The six aristocratic families present felt a loud roar in their minds.
