Since he couldn't beat them, then he would join them!
To a certain extent, Zhangsun Wuji and Li Zexuan had the same "party belief" — Protect the Crown Prince Party. There was no need for him to deliberately fight with Li Zexuan. In the past year, Li Zexuan had used a series of methods to establish a power group with Yanhuang College as the core. That young lad who had just returned from Mount Longhu had become an existence that many people couldn't afford to offend!
Since they couldn't afford to offend him, and they had a common interest, why not seek cooperation for mutual benefits?
After all, no one would go against benefits!
"Also, Li Zexuan's workshop has been manufacturing bicycles and carriages. It should consume a lot of iron, right? Even if he has an iron mine in Hedong Road, I'm afraid he won't be able to supply it. Chong 'er, tell Li Zexuan that if he's willing to cooperate, I'm willing to let him mine the iron mine of the Zhangsun Family. As long as he can give us half of the iron he refines! "
In the study room, Zhangsun Wuji's face revealed a sly smile. He stroked his beard and said to Zhangsun Chong.
What was a win-win situation? This was called a win-win situation! Currently, Li Zexuan didn't seem to lack money, but he lacked resources. Things like iron mines couldn't be bought with money. Zhangsun Wuji giving his iron mine to Li Zexuan was exactly what Li Zexuan wanted. At the same time, the Zhangsun Family wouldn't be at a disadvantage!
Because with the Zhangsun Family's iron refining skills, it would take a few hundred years to refine all of their iron mine into iron. Speaking of which, why would Zhangsun Wuji care about what happened a few hundred years later? At that time, whether the Zhangsun Family would still exist would be a problem!
However, if the iron ore was given to Li Zexuan to refine, it would be completely different. With the smelting speed of the Strange Taste Pavilion's smelting speed, the amount of iron produced in one year would be equivalent to the Zhangsun Family's previous four to five years of production. Even if he gave half of it to Li Zexuan as remuneration, Zhangsun Wuji would still make a huge profit!
This was a method that sacrificed future resources in exchange for current wealth, and it was a win-win situation. The old fox was indeed an old fox. He was probably the only one who could come up with such a "smart" idea!
"Father? You want to give our iron mine to Yamachō? Then wouldn't our family suffer a huge loss? "
Why would Zhangsun Chong think so much? He looked at his father in disbelief. Although he did admire Li Zexuan more personally, Zhangsun Wuji's image in his heart had always been one who prioritized the interests of the family. Now, the old man's actions made him a little confused!
"Haha! Whether it was a loss or not, he would only know after trying! Chong-er, you just have to tell Li Zexuan this! "
Zhangsun Wuji stroked his beard and smiled.
"Oh! Okay, Father! "
Although Zhangsun Chong was full of doubts, he still scratched his head and replied.

The first time Tang Yuan met the world, he had already caused a lot of commotion. The main reason was that Tang Yuan was easy to carry around and difficult to imitate. This had attracted the attention of many people. However, most people only treated Tang Yuan as an extremely exquisite "work of art." Only a very small number of people could be like Zhangsun Wuji and see the huge business opportunity behind Tang Yuan and Yanhuang Bank!
"Young Master, just yesterday afternoon, the bank had exchanged Tang Yuan worth more than 6000 strings of coins for the students. This is unbelievable!"
On the second day, Wang Zhong came to the courtyard and told Li Zexuan excitedly.
Li Zexuan had just finished his meal. He wiped his mouth with a tissue and smiled. "Haha! Uncle Wang, this is only the beginning. There are still many more things that you can't believe! Oh, right, the bank has so much money. Firstly, they have to pay attention to safety. If they don't have enough manpower, I will send more guards over. Secondly, they have to take out the copper coins to dry regularly to prevent them from rusting! "
This was the true meaning of having so much money that it was rusty and moldy!
Not only would iron rust, but copper would also rust. This was called copper rust! In ancient times, the circulation of money wasn't very frequent. Those rich families would often let their servants dry their copper coins regularly to prevent the copper coins from rusting and affecting their quality!
"Young Master, don't worry. This old man knows all of this!"
Faubert said with a smile.
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Since that's the case, Uncle Wang, you can go and do your work first!"
Faubert clasped his hands and left. He still had to go to the bank for his "duty"!
"Husband, you have worked hard for so many days. Can you finally relax now?"
After Faubert left, Han Yuxi walked over and handed over a cup of hot water with a smile.
Recently, Li Zexuan had been running around for Tang Yuan and the bank. He even worked overtime and stayed up late. Han Yuxi's heart ached when she saw this. She wished she could replace him. However, there were some things that she couldn't replace, so she could only worry by the side.
"Haha! I'm not busy anymore! However, now that my confinement period is over, it's time for me to go out and walk around! "
Li Zexuan had just finished his meal, and the cup of hot water that Han Yuxi brought over was just in time. He smiled as he drank the hot water.
Speaking of which, today was a good day. It had been exactly two months since he was confined by Li Er. Although he was an otaku, the feeling of not being able to go out when he clearly had something to do was really too uncomfortable for him!
"Oh! I almost forgot! Today is a good day for my husband to be released from confinement! My husband's memory is really good! "
When Han Yuxi heard this, she came to a realization and then said with a hint of reluctance.
In these two months, Li Zexuan couldn't go out, so naturally, he spent more time with her. However, she also knew that her husband was someone who did big things and couldn't be by her side forever. Therefore, her face didn't reveal the slightest bit of girlish emotions.
"Ah! Brother, can I go out and play? Lan 'er wants to go out too! "
Lan 'er immediately shouted after hearing the couple's conversation.
She had been holding it in for the past two months! Although she also had a companion (Li Anren) on Yunshan, how could it be as lively as Chang 'an?
"Haha! Okay, okay, okay! We'll go out in a while! We'll go to Uncle Qin's house for lunch at noon! "
Li Zexuan rubbed Lan 'er's little head and said.
Due to confinement, their family didn't go out to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year. One had to know that Han Yuxi had just married into the Li family last year and was considered a newlywed. A newlywed's return to the family in the first year was very important. However, it was precisely because Li Zexuan was confined that Han Yuxi didn't even return to the family.
Although the confinement period was over, Han Tianhu had gone to Lan Province, and the Han family was basically an empty house. Fortunately, Han Yuxi still had a pair of adoptive parents. If she went to visit and show her filial piety, she would more or less feel some comfort in her heart!
