Returning to her own palace, Princess Changle's heart was restless the entire time. She had purposely displayed her wealth in front of Empress Zhangsun. Ever since Imperial Chef Zhou had relayed the events of the past to the Empress, Princess Changle knew that she could no longer conceal the truth.
"It's all the Wang family's fault!" Even though Princess Changle had a good temper, she was still angry. If it were not for the Wang family, she would not have been exposed.
Princess Changle felt uneasy for a long time. She waited until the sky turned dark, and then Pande came with a decree from Li Shimin.
"There will be no next time!"
"Yes, Imperial Father!"
Princess Changle said respectfully.
After Pande left, Princess Changle jumped up happily. Since there would be no next time, it meant that she was allowed to open an ice cream shop. The idea that Moton had given her was indeed effective.
However, what Princess Changle did not know was that because of this matter, Modun had been placed on Li Shimin's blacklist. In the eyes of all parents, their own children were naturally the most obedient. If something were to happen, it would definitely be someone else's fault.
And Meton was the one who lured his daughter to make a mistake.
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Moreover, Su Luosheng and the Wang family's behavior was not normal. Su Luosheng's punishment was very heavy, but the Wang family did not express any dissatisfaction. Instead, they cooperated.
The Taiyuan Wang family in Chang 'an reacted quickly. They immediately ordered Wang Zhe to return to Taiyuan to accept his punishment. This was not in line with the usual domineering style of the Wang family.
Under the probing of those who paid attention, Princess Changle, who was behind Imperial Chef Zhou, quickly appeared before everyone's eyes. Only now did everyone understand. This time, the Wang clan had truly kicked an iron plate. No wonder they had so obediently admitted defeat.
The Wang family was called the Wang family, but they were not the real Wang family. But they were still a fake Wang family.
"Mo Jiazi!"
Outside the Eastern City of Chang 'an, Wang Zhe gritted his teeth and said.
He was severely reprimanded by his family in Taiyuan, who demanded that he return to Taiyuan immediately and be dismissed from all his positions in Chang 'an.
In this incident, Princess Changle was not someone he could afford to offend, so all of Wang Zhe's resentment was focused on Meton.
"Young Master!" The manager of the salt store, Wang Dong, hurried over.
"How's the thing I asked you to do?" Wang Zhe asked.
"Don't worry, Young Master. I've already sent the news to Young Master Zhangsun!" Wang Dong replied. He wanted to persuade his Young Master, but he hesitated.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. As for what Zhangsun Chong does, it's none of my business." Wang Zhe sneered.
Currently, he had completely lost power and influence. However, he would not allow Modun to have an easy time. He and Zhangsun Chong were scoundrels. Naturally, he knew that the thorn in Zhangsun Chong's heart was Princess Changle.
And it was Meton who made Zhangsun Chong lose Princess Changle. And now Meton was close to Princess Changle. He did not believe that Zhangsun Chong would not react after hearing the news.
In the Imperial Clan Office.
Zhangsun Chong looked at the letter in his hand with a gloomy face. Wang Zhe did not exaggerate in his heart. Instead, he told him everything in detail.
Even so, it was enough. Zhangsun Chong's heart was burning with anger. If it were not for the last trace of reason, he would have flown into a rage.
"This pair of bitches!"
Zhangsun Chong said with a face full of hatred.
However, Zhangsun Chong, who had entered the officialdom and seen all kinds of intrigue, was even more gloomy. He forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.
But this flame had already begun to ignite, and it would explode at any time.
After getting drunk, Xu Jie quickly regained his enthusiasm and worked harder day by day. He even personally went to Luoyang to open up a four-wheeled carriage market. Now was the time when four-wheeled carriages were rapidly expanding. With the help of Luoyang and the Jinghang Grand Canal, four-wheeled carriages could occupy half of the Tang dynasty's market. Naturally, Xu Jie needed to oversee it personally.
Also going to Luoyang with Xu Jie was Imperial Chef Zhou.
With five ice cream shops in Chang 'an, the market was clearly saturated. Moreover, after the incident with the Wang family, Frozen was no longer a threat.
And Luoyang was also a super big market not inferior to Chang 'an, so Imperial Chef Zhou naturally could not let it go.
After all this was done, Meton finally had time to enjoy his summer vacation plan.
He wore a T-shirt every day, soaked in the pool at noon, ate ice cream, or went into the room with an ice basin to cool off. His days were extremely carefree.
But this leisurely life was soon interrupted by Li Yi's arrival.
"Second Uncle Li! How's the harvest of the summer grain in the village? "Meton asked with concern.
In Meton's impression, the Village Mo's Village had very few superior fields. Most of them were medium-low yield fields, and the harvest had always been very bad. In addition, the Village Mo's Village had a large population. Most of the time, after paying taxes, there was not much left.
"Replying to Young Master! The summer grain harvest in the village has been completed. Compared with the previous years, because of the irrigation by the waterwheel along the banks of the river, the rest of the dry fields have been irrigated with young master's drought resistance method. Most of the fields in the village have been irrigated first. This year's harvest has decreased instead of increased. "Li Yi said proudly.
At the same time, he felt a little regretful. If Meton's drought resistance method had been completed in advance, the harvest of the fields in the Village Mo's Village would have been better.
"I'm here today to discuss with young master about buying grain." Li Yi said.
"Buying grain? Didn't the harvest of the Village Mo's Village have just been completed? "Meton was puzzled.
Li Yi said with a wry smile, "Young Master, you don't know. In addition to the population of the Village Mo's Village, there are also a large number of workers in the Village Mo's Village. Now the number of people working in the Village Mo's Village has exceeded the population of the Village Mo's Village. The amount of grain that the Village Mo's Village produces every day is a terrifying number. The grain produced by the Village Mo's Village is barely enough for our own use. If we want to ensure sufficient grain, we can only rely on buying grain."
The number of workers in the Village Mo's Village and the families of these workers were all first-class laborers, and their appetite was also quite large. If the Village Mo's Village hadn't bought a large amount of grain before, they might not have been able to last until the harvest of the summer grain.
"And this is the time when the price of grain is the lowest. It's the best time to buy grain." Li Yi said.
"The price of grain is low?" Meton said in surprise.
He personally led the Village Mo's Village to Chang 'an City to buy grain, and the price was soaring all the time!
"Young Master, you don't know. Every time the harvest of summer grain and autumn grain comes, the price of grain will plummet. The grain that the farmers worked hard for a year can't be sold at a good price. Once there is a shortage of grain, the price of grain will increase greatly. If there is a disaster year, the price of grain will increase several times. "Li Yi said with a wry smile.
The Village Mo's Village suffered a lot in this aspect in those years. Every year, their grain was exploited by grain merchants, so they became poorer and poorer.
