When Gu Yunzhi was about to leave, Tang Wanwan also gave her proposal to him. After returning, Gu Yunzhi called the core internal members of Yonglin Pavilion together to discuss Tang Wanwan's proposal. It was said that there was quite a heated argument that day, but in the end, Gu Yunzhi overruled everyone and agreed to the plan. Therefore, the processing of the seasonings was not just about the success or failure of Tang Wanwan but also related to Gu Yunzhi's vision and his position within Yonglin Pavilion.
This was a major battle and a tough contest.
Tang Sizhe went with Tang Ruyue back into the mountains the next day as well, planning to completely turn the underground grotto into their salt-making site. If the court agreed, they would proceed openly; if not, they would operate covertly, as the profits here were considerable, as long as nobody knew. However, their idea of operating in secret was nipped in the bud by Tang Wanwan.
