That night, Wangjiazhuang.

The lights in the living room were brightly lit, and Wang Yuan knelt on his head, grinding a bowl of tea soup himself.

Below him, Jingyang County Magistrate Lu Yu was listed, and opposite Lu Yu, there was a thin middle-aged man in his forties.

"Dad, this is feasible. Our two families join forces to take down all the ores produced in the Yinshan Mountain. In less than five years, our two branches will be ranked in the main hall of our family's ancestral hall."

Lu Yu looked very excited and danced and explained his ambitions to the middle-aged man opposite him.

Like Wang Yuan, this middle-aged man was in charge of all the Lu family's business in Wannian County, Chang'an. His wife happened to be Wang Yuan's own sister, so the two families had contacts from each other. Even his son Lu Yu was able to become the magistrate of Jingyang County, which was a favor from Wang Yuan.

The middle-aged man glanced at his silly son in anger and turned to look at the first silent Wang Yuan. The meaning was very obvious, and everything was just followed by Wang Yuan's arrangement.

As if he felt his gaze, Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, saying, "Wait for a moment, and there will be news soon."

The middle-aged man nodded when he heard this, turned to look at his son, and taught: "Don't be anxious when encountering things, sit down first and see how your uncle arranges it."

Lu Yu was in a state of excitement. Hearing this, he glanced at Wang Yuan and his father, nodded obediently, and retreated to his seat to sit down.

The middle-aged man said "yes" with satisfaction, and sat down, stopping speaking.

At this time, a maid brought three cups of tea and looked at the tea soup that Wang Yuan had made himself in his hand. She was stunned at first, and then she put the tea cup in front of the Lu family and his son in a regular manner before she had to leave respectfully.

Wang Yuan asked without waiting for her to retreat, "Bin'er or can't get out of bed?"

The maid looked slightly stunned and nodded quickly: "Mr. Lang has just taken the medicine soup prepared by the doctor and is resting at this time."

Wang Yuan frowned without a trace, then waved his hand to signal the maid to go down.

After the maid stepped down, Lu Yu, who was sitting in the lower head, asked curiously: "Uncle, can that boy Wang Bin be......"

Wang Yuan frowned slightly and glared at him: "Don't inquire about what you shouldn't know."

"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Yu shrank his neck in fear.

However, Lu's father knocked on the table twice, raised his lips, and said with a narrow expression: "After that boy Wang Huai became the head of Chang'an County, his younger brother suffered a stubborn disease. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Wang Huai had a problem. Humph, the Wang family's internal struggle is no more decisive than the royal family. All these despicable methods have been used."

Wang Yuan's eyes twitched, glanced at Lu's father, and said nothing. He just pressed his hand with the tea bowl unconsciously, pressing a part of himself. Thinking of Lu's father's unintentional teasing, his hatred for Wang Huai's nephew became inexplicably irritated.

Lu Yu, who had been sitting next to him, jumped up: "Oh no, the smiling tiger Wang Huai must have received the news. If he had ideas, how could we beat him?"

This time, Lu's father did not scold Lu Yu, but looked at Wang Yuan and reminded him: "Yu'er's worries make sense. Wang Huai is the eldest grandson of the Wang family after all, and his influence is much stronger than ours. If he comes forward and asks for the silver mine directly?"

Wang Yuan nodded without objection. He was also taboo about Wang Huai's identity, but Chang'an was not Taiyuan. Wang Yuan shook his head: "The boy's method in Xiagou Village is not something that Wang Huai can deal with. Even Li Ji dares to resist, and will he be afraid of Wang's family thousands of miles away? Besides, Jingyang is at the foot of the imperial city after all, and no one dares to touch Li Shimin's brow."

When Lu's father heard what he said, he nodded gently, and his worried expression still remained unrestrained.

Seeing this, Wang Yuan smiled, put his hand into his arms, took out a booklet, and said, "The silver smelting technique is in my hands. This is the only one in the entire Chang'an City, which is more complete than the technology of the Ministry of Industry. That boy did not have the technology of refining silver ore. So what if he was asked to dig out a mountain of gold?"

Seeing this, Lu's brows unfolded instantly and said with a smile: "Brother Wang is a good method. In this way, he can only sell the ore to us at a low price, otherwise he will have to hold a pile of silver ore and wait for people to be plotted every day."

Knock ~~

As soon as Lu's father finished speaking, a pounding sound came from the side of the living room, three long and two short.

After listening to the first place, Wang Yuan raised his lips and felt much better.

Lu's father and Lu Yu looked at each other, and both looked at Wang Yuan at the same time.

Wang Yuan nodded slightly: "It has been found out clearly. It is indeed a silver mine or an extremely rich mine!"

When the Lu family and his son heard this, they clenched their fists and said, "That's great, the opportunity for our two families has finally come."

······

······

The next day, I got the morning court.

Li Shimin called Li Ji, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin alone to the study.

After the three of them gave their salutes, Li Shimin angrily threw a bunch of posts on the table in front of Li Ji.

"Look at it yourself. They are all posts impeached by officials. There are 63 letters in total. This is the first time I have seen a family so dedicated to stand up for a commoner. It is very fresh, but it is not pleasant."

Li Ji and the other two looked at each other. Cheng Yaojin picked up a post, opened it and took a look, then curled his lips: "It's very vivid. A group of fools are idle all day long and just talk nonsense."

Li Shimin laughed, stood up and walked to the three of them, and said, "The stone mountain turned into a silver mountain. This matter is related to the boy of the Xi family. Don't tell me it's true. I think Maogong should not be stupid enough to do such things that harm others and not benefit oneself, let alone oppress the people, which is the evil deed that you hate the most."

"Why should Erlang ask questions clearly?"

Cheng Yaojin looked at Huang An who was serving next to him. The little eunuch saw the three of them go to Xiagou Village to find Xi Yunfei. He didn't believe that Huang An didn't tell Li Shimin what he saw and heard that day.

Qin Qiong frowned when she heard this, reached out and patted Cheng Yaojin on the back of the head, bowed to Li Shimin and bowed: "Your Majesty, please calm down, you are not stingy and unintentional offense."

Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment, touched his head, and then he realized that Li Shimin is no longer Li Shimin from Tiance Mansion. He looked at Li Shimin awkwardly and bowed quickly: "Your Majesty, please calm down, I, uh, I am in trouble for a moment, please..."

"Don't, I just call me like this when there is no one. I'm still used to calling me Erlang, it sounds kind." Li Shimin reached out and patted Cheng Yaojin's arm, looking at him very sincerely.

But time never returns. Although he said so, the three of them dared to act rashly.

Li Ji hurriedly changed the topic and nodded, "Your Majesty is wise. This stone mountain turns into a silver mountain is just a trick. In fact, we wanted to vent our anger on Yun Fei's child, so we came up with this bad plan."

"Take off?" Li Shimin looked disbelief: "Does it take to gamble with your reputation? Do you know that the whole city is talking about this matter now. If you don't mention these posts that impeach you, you are now confirmed by the stigma of bullying the people."

Li Ji looked ugly, Cheng Yaojin next to him couldn't see it, and said, "The boy from the Xi family said that after the matter was done, he would make things right for Maogong, and he would also give him the title of a great charity. If he couldn't do it, I, Cheng, would be the first to settle the score with him."

"By him?"

Li Shimin frowned and thought to himself why that kid made these three duke-level figures so obedient. There must be a ghost in this matter. If a duke can even not even have a reputation, what would it be? What? What? Money!

Li Shimin's expression changed, but Li Ji and the other two could not escape the observation of Li Ji and the other two. Seeing this, the three of them felt a sudden slap in their hearts. Every time Li Shimin became interested in something, he would do his best to ask the bottom line. What's more, what he and others planned this time was what Li Shimin lacked the most.

Qin Qiong looked at Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Sure enough, Li Shimin seemed to have figured out something, looked at the three of them teasingly and said, "I don't care what tricks you are playing. I will calculate one of them this time no matter what, otherwise I will issue an order to take back the stone mountain tomorrow, and you can do it yourself."

The three of them looked at each other in a glance.

Finally, Cheng Yaojin roared: "Just do it like this. Labor and capital have long disliked the boy. He accounts for 40% of the person alone. In the afternoon, I will go to him and ask him to spit out 20% to offer it to His Majesty."

Qin Qiong was stunned when she heard this and looked at Li Ji.

Li Ji smashed his mouth silently: "One person has 20% of it, it's great."
