In general, Tang Laosi and all his subordinates are advancing in an orderly manner.

Under such circumstances, Tang Laosi rarely appears in Chang'an circle.

For the nobles in the same circle, the number of appearances of the fourth young master in Tang not only effectively controls Tang Jian’s pretentiousness, but also makes him feel that it is difficult to find his son’s shortcomings. Without comparison and harm, how good is the family harmony?

For the aristocratic family, the fourth young master Tang came out to make some trouble, and everyone was relieved, without conflicts or persecution, which was a good situation!

At least this is true for the Zheng family, the Boling Cui family and the Fanyang Lu family. After all, according to Tang Laosi's previous records, the Qinghe Cui family and the Taiyuan Wang family's previous lessons...

On the 19th day of the first lunar month, there was nothing wrong recently. Xingyang, Boling, and Fan Yang were very relaxed and asked to have tea in the Zheng family courtyard.

A top-end iron furnace produced by Changsun’s family, the iron furnace is wrapped in red lacquer, and the printed peonies on the table are vivid.

In the stove is the latest in fragrant carbon produced by Taiyuan Carbonifer workshop, which is mixed with agarwood powder when it burns.

In the center of the stove table are several removable ring iron sheets, which can be placed together to block the furnace mouth.

At the entrance of the furnace is an exquisite copper pot.

The mouth of the copper pot is open, and there are many other ingredients such as lamb oil, sesame, tea, wolfberry, etc. inside it is put into the water to make the tea soup. The tea churned under the tea fire, causing the sesame, tea, wolfberry and other items in the copper pot to chase and play like naughty children.

With a brocade handrail wrapping the copper pot, Zheng Jifu picked up the copper pot and poured a cup of tea for the old brothers.

Mr. Cui Er of Boling and Mr. Lu of Fanyang picked up the teacup, smelled the fragrance emitted by the tea soup, and then placed the teacup on the stove table.

"The tea cooked by Brother Jifu is really a unique person in this world!"

Mr. Lu Hong and the second master sincerely exclaimed: "We have been drinking your skills for twenty years, but the taste still has not changed at all!"

Mr. Cui also nodded and said, "It's extremely. Over the years, the tea cooked by others always feels a strange smell, so there is no tea soup from Brother Jifu!"

The old brother's approval made Zheng Jifu happy from the bottom of his heart, but he said in a good manner: "Not as good as you said? You are obviously used to drinking it, so you can't change your taste!"

"Highly!"

Lu Hong smiled and waved his hand and said, "Brother, when did I say anything stupid?"

Zheng Jifu smiled knowingly and replied, "Don't compliment me. If you like me, everyone will gather together often, and I'll cook it for you to drink!"

Mr. Cui shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult. Which family doesn't have any bad things?"

If something bad is coming to the door, he is often a good and bad person.

As soon as Mr. Cui finished speaking, a man walked in from the door and looked inside the house. The person entering the house did not hesitate to go to Zheng Jifu and whispered softly.

After hearing this, the second master of the Zheng family immediately climbed up his eyebrows.

Mr. Cui and Lu Hong looked at each other, guessing in their hearts that something might have happened!

However, the two of them have not yet asked, "If a friend is a friend, it is someone else's family business. It is not very appropriate to ask what happened in front of other families."

Zheng Jifu pondered for a moment and said, "I bought all of them for him, and I bought him as much as I have!!"

"yes!"

The visitor responded and turned around and left.

The wrinkles on Zheng Jifu's brows did not dissipate, but became deeper and deeper.

Lu Hongqing couldn't help asking: "Brother Jifu, what happened? I wonder if I can tell you about it and Brother Cui. We can also make a conclusion together!"

"There's nothing to say!"

Zheng Jifu took a deep breath and said, "Just just now, my family came to report that it was Chang'an and Luoyang, a kind of white salt appeared in both places, and it was only sold for fifteen coins per dou! Brother Wei couldn't figure out who did this, and what purpose did he have!"

"Fifteen cents?"

Mr. Cui couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Isn't this just a loss but not a profit?"

Zheng Jifu nodded and sold salt at a price of fifteen cents per dou. He went out to the mine to purchase costs, labor costs, and transportation costs. Even with the Zheng family's salt mine production in Yuncheng, a bucket of salt would cost at least two cents a bucket of salt! Even the official salt of the Tang Dynasty would cost twenty cents per dou to ensure the capital!

So, for a moment, he couldn't figure out what the other party's intention was to do business at a loss!

Targeting Zheng's?

Who is so capable?

"Will it be the official?"

Lu Hong frowned and said, "Although there are affordable salt in recent years, the quantity is too small. Could it be that the emperor intentionally wanted to force Zheng Zheng to use this method to force the more salt to come out?"

"impossible!"

Zheng Jifu shook his head directly. He knew that if the emperor wanted the Zheng family to get more salt, he just needed to talk to the Zheng family. According to the conditions discussed by the Zheng family, it would be fine to make some more. You should know that Zheng Guanyin eventually changed into the emperor's woman as the emperor's sister-in-law because the Zheng family and the emperor reached a partial compromise.

Besides, as far as the current imperial court is concerned, it is impossible to do such a big move, otherwise even affordable salt would be limited to supply!

The three old men thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Zheng Jifu turned around and comforted the two old brothers and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I have asked my family to buy all the salt from both places! I don't believe it, the other party has so much salt for fifteen cents!

Besides, when the salt in the two places is sold out, the other party will definitely dispatch it, and you can find out who is doing this. As long as you determine the person, we can roughly infer what the other party is going to do!

However, after this incident, I really have no time to make tea for you, so I can only say sorry to you!”

"What did Brother Jifu say?"

Mr. Cui smiled faintly and said, "You and my family are all in the same mood. We are also friends, so how can we apologize? But Brother Jiefu, I think that since the other party dares to have so many, they will rely more or less on it. If you have any needs here, you can directly contact me and Brother Lu Hong, and we will definitely help you!"

"that is!"

Lu Hong also nodded and said, "Brother Jifu, whether it is money or investigation channels, as long as you say something, Lao Cui and I will definitely help!"

"Thank you!"

Zheng Jifu sincerely thanked him, and Lu Hong and Cui Erye bowed and resigned.

The tea set was naturally handled by the servants in the mansion. Master Zheng Ershi sent the two old brothers to the door and turned back to his study.

Unknown competitors that suddenly emerge are often the most terrifying. Master Zheng Erzhe who locked himself in his study knows this well.

Taking out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Zheng Erye began to write down one name after another on it.
