To be able to stand out from the top aristocratic families like the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs and become the representative of this time, he was definitely a talent in the family, an extremely intelligent figure.
The seven of them had different opinions about Li You before, and they had two completely different opinions about Li You. But now, everyone had the same opinion. Even Li Daotong, who had looked down on Li You the most in the beginning, began to hesitate. Could it be that after three days of separation, Li You was no longer the rogue youth from back then, but a figure who could take charge of his own affairs?
"Your Highness, we've all come for the matter of refined salt. I wonder how the Imperial Court plans to cooperate with us seven clans?”Cui Ziqing was the first to ask, pointing out the main topic. Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Li You, waiting for his answer.
The five surnames and seven Wangs were led by the Cui surname!
Li You thought to himself that it was indeed like this. The seven great families were led by the Cui family of Boling. The representatives of the various families this time also followed Cui Ziqing's lead.
When Cui Ziqing asked, everyone was waiting to cooperate with him, wanting to suppress him. However, you guys are still too inexperienced. Do you think this king will be led away by your rhythm?
Cui Ziqing frowned. What did this mean?
Did the seven of us come all the way to Chang 'an just to get a meal from you?
Let's talk about the refined salt first, but I still don't dare. After all, offending a superior is not a small crime.
Although the family would definitely protect him, it was not worth it to have a conflict over such a small matter.
"Haha, your highness is right. If you use your brain for too many things, you'll disturb your mouth.”Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Cheng Zhijie was the first to react. He smiled and said,""The seven young masters have come from afar. This meal is to welcome you. Don't forget to waste his highness's good intentions. Come, Old Cheng cheers to you!"
Cheng Zhijie was from a prominent family in Shandong and Li Shimin's favorite general. He was also the Duke of Lu, so the seven of them naturally did not dare to disrespect him.
The atmosphere eased up and they continued eating and drinking.
This time, no one talked about the refined salt, but Li You could see that everyone was holding it in very hard. However, with the cooperation of Wei Ting, Ma Zhou, and Cheng Zhijie, the seven young masters of the aristocratic families were drunk and could not react to talk about serious matters.
After the meal ended, the seven of them were drunk and carried back to rest by the servants.
The seven of them were all dumbfounded. Why did he start drinking? Your Highness, are you the reincarnation of a drunkard?
"Wangye, it's still morning, this isn't appropriate.”Cui Ziqing smiled awkwardly.
"Hey, you can't say that." "It's a pleasure to have friends from afar," Li You said with a smile. Although this is the first time the seven young masters have met this king, we've hit it off and will be friends in the future. Why should we care about worldly customs? Na Duo is a wet blanket. Forget it, let's drink first. Let's go."
As Li You spoke, he pulled Cui Ziqing inside without any explanation.
Although Cui Ziqing was tall and strong, Li You had obtained the system reward and had the strength of nine bulls and two tigers. Cui Ziqing did not even have the chance to resist and was directly pulled away.
As for the remaining six people, Cheng Zhijie grabbed two under his armpit and took four away.
As for the remaining two, Ma Zhou and Wei Ting took one each and brought them into the drinking hall.
He was so happy. It was another drunk day.
On the third day, the seven young masters decided that they would not be fooled by the former again. They had to talk about the refined salt.
"Yes, the amount of refined salt is huge, and this is the first time we're working together. This king is also very careful, so it will take some time to test the specific quantity and quality. However, I think it will be completed today. Why don't we drink while we wait?”Li You said with a smile. His sincere gaze made the seven young masters believe his words again.
On the fourth day, the seven young masters felt that Li You definitely could not refuse this time. They had to talk about this matter clearly today.
"Aiya, you guys are finally here." Li You wasn't around, and only Ma Zhou was around. His expression was ugly as he said,""I wanted to talk to you yesterday, but you were all drunk and didn't manage to talk. When His Majesty heard about this, he blamed His Highness for not doing his job well and was called into the palace early this morning to reprimand him. General Cheng and Lord Wei didn't run away. You guys really, you've made wangye suffer, don't you feel guilty?”
Of course, they felt guilty. So today, the seven of them felt guilty and sent more than 10,000 strings of money as an apology gift to Li You. Then, they went home and waited for tomorrow to officially discuss this matter.
On the fifth day, the seven young masters felt that it would definitely work this time. Li You was scolded by His Majesty, so he must be looking forward to the matter ending as soon as possible. We are also anxious to make money. If there is no conflict between the two sides, we will definitely be able to reach a consensus.
"I'm really sorry. Yesterday, Father reprimanded me for half a day. He felt that I was procrastinating and asked me to sign the agreement with you as soon as possible.”Li You looked at the seven young masters who were beaming with joy and said with a bitter smile,""However, the national treasury is tight, and the problem of training soldiers is serious. The biggest problem is dehydration, and the strength of the body cannot be maintained. Therefore, Father transferred 200,000 loads of refined salt to the Ministry of War. Your goods will have to wait for ten days to half a month. This king will definitely welcome you with wine."
Welcome your sister. We've waited for five days and thought we could finally talk business. In the end, we have to go back and wait for another half a month. Do you want us to die of anxiety?
At night, the seven of them had a small meeting. Cui Ziqing looked at the other six people with a conflicted expression and finally said the first sentence.
