Bai Fan is still painstakingly arranging the affairs of the academy and the family, firstly, because the academy is facing the pressure of public opinion, and secondly, because of the emotional problems of several younger sisters in the family, especially the troublesome matter of the third sister, when Hong Dali comes back, how can he explain it?

The Bai Family Chamber of Commerce sent a secret letter, and there was a small paper package, which stated that it was encrypted and expedited.

Bai Fan frowned and opened the secret letter, it was a business event about spice competition, although the spice market was dominated by the Bai family, but spices were not unique to the Bai family, and it was not impossible for others to find a base for planting and producing spices, and to make fine spices.

It stands to reason that this kind of trivial matter, the Chamber of Commerce has countless people, how can no one solve it?

But when I saw the bottom of the secret letter, he said that the opponent's spices were just buying the Bai family's spices and processing them themselves, who knew that the people were extremely appreciative and robbed the Bai family of a lot of business.

This is not counting, after all, the Bai family is a big chamber of commerce, and they want to send people to negotiate the acquisition of the opponent's formula, because they see that the opponent is just running a stall and selling piecemeal, and knows that their reserve funds are insufficient, so they want to merge and merge, so there is no need to fight a business war.

Who knows that the opponent doesn't sell at all, and doesn't even talk about it, the attitude is extremely abnormal, which chamber of commerce in the world is not extremely respectful when it sees the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce, not to say that it must be sold well, but at least the respect is there, but this small chamber of commerce is as if nothing happened.

Therefore, after paying attention to the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce, it deliberately did an investigation and found that the opponent's spices were becoming more and more popular, and the people who had used them almost no longer bought the Bai family spices, which was very abnormal, and this Chamber of Commerce seemed to have a behind-the-scenes boss, but it could not be found for the time being.

After reading it, Bai Fan also had doubts in his heart, it seemed that this was a small incident, but he always felt an aura of conspiracy?

After he opened the seasoning package in his hand, he looked at it fixedly, and instantly became angry, with his many years of medical experience, he knew it at a glance, it was clearly mixed with poppies, okay, this is very obvious, it is Tubo Li Xinzhong who is playing ghosts.

Thinking of this, Bai Fan was shocked, Li Xinzhong is also a smart person, and he knew that he had issued a strict order to investigate and deal with things related to drug opium poppies in Jiannan Road, so he bypassed Jiannan Road and spread drugs to other state roads in Datang, and it was more hidden and more common, which made people unguardable.

Other ordinary people and officials who have not suffered losses, how can they have such vigilance, and now when Bai Fan finds out, I am afraid that there will be countless people who have become addicted.

Bai Fan, who was slightly sweating on his forehead, did not dare to delay, and rushed directly to the direction of the palace, the enemy came suddenly, and he could only mobilize the chamber of commerce class by himself, I am afraid it was too late, this is not a simple business competition, so the imperial court needs to come forward.

In the council hall, Bai Fan told the cause and effect of the matter, Li Er was furious, and it was poppy drugs again? Is it Tubo Li Xinzhong again? The last poisoning had already taught him a lesson, but he didn't expect to dare to make waves?

"Jane, Li Xinzhong does things by unscrupulous means, and the people have suffered many times, what morality do you talk to him? Why don't you get rid of it? Li Er said.

Bai Fan once said in front of the two armies of Jiannan Province that the two countries would fight for the Huanghuang Avenue and not do anything to assassinate the king.

Bai Fan pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister still wants to try it, after all, the righteous path can destroy the country for a long time, and it can also save a lot of follow-up trouble."

As for Li Xinzhong, he is really bold, he dared to poison the people of Datang without listening to my warning, so I will send someone to teach him a lesson.

The top priority is for the government to come forward to eliminate the poisoning gang, and at the same time vigorously provide prescriptions to detoxify the people.

The antidote to detoxification has been made public, and as long as we publicize the dangers of drugs nationwide, the people will definitely be able to get out of the dangers of drugs. ”

Okay, Li Er nodded and sent someone to give the order.

Then the two of them waited for news in this council hall, and at this time, Li Er asked the long-standing mystery in his heart, that is, the question about Li Mingxin, Bai Fan, the dean and master, would not really be deliberately biased to protect the disciples.

Bai Fan shook his head with a wry smile, and explained the cause and effect of the matter, making Li Er very speechless, it turns out that you have used your disciple and my Tang Dynasty soldiers as your actors to watch the play?

"Your Majesty is angry, the minister has another deep meaning in doing this.

First, the matter of the Li family in Longxi does have a great trouble, and the so-called grievances should be resolved rather than knotted, even if the Li family in Longxi is a tiger walking on the bright side, it is better than a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows. ”

Li Er nodded and motioned for Bai Fan to continue.

"Second, it is the Tang Dynasty that trains the troops, although Li Xinzhong has some ability, but in the hands of the army and Brother Mao, he is just a clown, and the Tang Dynasty wants to train the troops, but it seems that the opponent is too weak.

There is also the fact that Li Mingxin was born in Zhongnan Academy, and our Datang has developed too fast, but we have never thought about how to deal with someone betrayed.

For example, this time, Li Mingxin was able to produce thunderbolts and mines, and we were also caught off guard by the use of our means, and this was the main purpose of this military training. ”

"Hehe, you kid is so despicable, even his own apprentice calculates, and Mao Gong suffered a big loss at the hands of your apprentice, does it prove that you, the master, are even superior?" Li Er quipped, and as soon as Bai Fan explained this, Li Er's brows loosened, and his doubts gradually disappeared.

"It's not a deliberate calculation, he proposed to join the army in the southwest, I know that he has a choice in his heart, it's better to let him go out to experience and recognize the road, no matter which side he belongs to, it is a kind of experience.

So this third point is my selfishness, training disciples.

Li Mingxin is a good talent, I promise to train him, of course I will do my best, but now some things are gradually out of control, and how to end up in the future is really embarrassing.

Today, since His Majesty asked, the minister begged His Majesty for him, if he was captured on the battlefield of Li Mingxin, could His Majesty be merciful and spare his life? ”

Bai Fan bowed to Li Er.

Li Er waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't mention such trivial matters, do you want to be alone with me for your Jian Zhi's face?"

As long as he keeps himself and doesn't cause trouble in the world, I won't care about his life and death. ”

In fact, both parties tacitly agreed, Bai Fan's intercession may be for his sister on the one hand, and Li Er also has the beauty of an adult, as for the saying that it is better to settle the dispute, I don't know if this emperor of the ages agrees.

"Now that the war is deadlocked, I heard Mao Gong say that your disciple Hong Dali has withdrawn, how will the war on the front line in the coming year be? Don't you still care? Li Er asked.

With a long sigh, Bai Fan smiled bitterly: "It backfired, vigorously fell out with Li Mingxin in front of the battle, Li Mingxin openly betrayed the teacher, and the minister couldn't suppress it even if he wanted to."

When Dali returns from the southwest, the news comes out, I'm afraid that the disciples of Zhongnan Academy will go to the southwest to clean up the portal, even if the minister doesn't want to see the same sect cannibalism, there is nothing he can do this time, as a master and a dean, you can't be too biased.

This training seems to be about to become a training ground for the disciples of Zhongnan Academy. ”

Li Er likes to see this kind of thing, they are all talents of the Tang Dynasty, naturally the stronger the better, as for the consumption and sacrifice of the war between the two countries, as an emperor, he is also willing to sacrifice some soldiers and horses in order to train talents, Li Er has this courage.

Just as the two of them were waiting for the news, the chamberlain Lao Gao walked into the council hall and said directly: "Your Majesty, something has happened." ”
