People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 611 Eye Drops

Looking at Songtsan Gampo's expression, it would be false to say that he didn't sympathize, Li Xiaogong looked at Li Zheng thinking in his heart.

It was very quiet all around, no one spoke, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Songtsan Gampo.

Unexpectedly, Songtsan Gampo, the king of a country, would say such a thing.

The monarch of Tubo actually begged for mercy from a county prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Xu Jingzong said to Li Yifu in a low voice: "Songtsen Gampo can't hold back at last."

Li Yifu said in a low voice: "On the one hand, our family and country are about to perish, and on the other hand, we are pressing each other step by step. If it were me, I would rather fight to the death with the Western Turkic people."

After this negotiation, Xu Jingzong was even more convinced that Li was someone who could not be provoked.

It seems that Li Zheng has been eyeing Tubo from the very beginning.

After being quiet for a long time.

Lu Dongzan stood up and left here, apparently unwilling to face such Songtsan Gampo.

"Li Zheng, you're not going to kill everything, are you?" Songtsen Gampo finally spoke again.

"We are supporting you Tibetans, of course we will not do anything to you Tibetans."

Songtsan Gampo stood up with difficulty and said, "Li Zheng, I will remember everything you have done to Tubo. If Tubo can stand up again one day, I will definitely take back everything you have taken away."

Li Zheng smiled indifferently, "If there is such a day, I congratulate you. No matter what, we still hold on to the fire of Tubo. There is a saying in our Central Plains that says that if you keep the green mountains, you will not worry about no firewood."

In the end, the two made a contract in the horse circle.

Tubo agreed to the 32 clauses set by the Tang Dynasty, which involved Tubo, trade, border and military strength, land, and population.

And he owed Datang 500 million guan on credit, which was used to purchase the ordnance, grain, grass, soldiers and horses of Datang.

Among them, 50 Guan was used to sell land to Li Zheng, 28 sites in Tubo were sold to Li Zheng, and Qinghai was handed over to Datang.

Since then, Tubo has not set up soldiers and horses on the border of the Tang Dynasty.

A negotiation is over.

The two parties write down the contract in their own words and sign it.

Wang Ding and Li Xiaogong left the stables with the pledged contract.

The contract arrived in the palace and into Li Shimin's hands.

Li Xiaogong bowed and stood in front of Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, Li Zheng's negotiating minister has seen the end from the beginning. Li Zheng is indeed very capable. This time, Li Zheng did not back down even a step."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Li Zheng has made such a great achievement by means of business, how do you think I should reward Li Zheng?"

Li Xiaogong glanced at Wang Ding.

Wang Ding lowered his head and said nothing.

Li Shimin also said: "500 million guan is used to support Tubo's military pay and food. Li Zheng is a good method. The Songtsan cadres not only returned empty-handed, but also owed 500 million guan. Can the ministers of the DPRK and China do this? ?”

Li Xiaogong looked a little troubled, "Your Majesty, if this matter gets out, many people will impeach Li Zheng."

Li Shimin nodded, "Let Li Zheng and Li Ke handle the matter of supporting Tubo, Wang Ding! Take the word."

"Here." Wang Ding nodded.

"As for 500 million guan? Ask Li Zheng what he means."

"Old slave understands."

Li Xiaogong also said: "The minister will arrange it now."

After Li Xiaogong finished speaking, he left, Wang Ding took out eye drops and put them in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked up at the light blue bottle in front of him, "What is this?"

Wang Ding said with a smile: "It was given by the Chang'an order, and it said it can make the eyes very comfortable."

Li Shimin picked up the small bottle, looked at the potion dangling in the bottle, and said, "Is this bottle made of colored glaze? Is colored glaze so light?"

Wang Ding shook his head, "The old slave is not very heavy, but he just knows to put the medicine into his eyes."

Li Shimin glanced at Wang Ding suspiciously.

Wang Ding said with a smile: "This old slave will give His Majesty a try."

In front of Li Shimin, Wang Ding dripped eye drops into his eyes, feeling the soreness of the eye drops, opened his eyes after a while, "That's it."

"that's it?"

"Ah."

Wang Ding dropped the eye drops in front of Li Shimin again.

Looking at this small bottle, Li Shimin felt a little suspicious, and it's not like he didn't feel how uncomfortable it was when sweat dripped into his eyes. Li Zheng's potion can make his eyes feel comfortable.

Seeing that Wang Ding was fine after using it, Li Shimin followed Wang Ding's action and tried it with one of his eyes.

The eyedrops dripped into his eyes, and there was a burst of soreness. After the sourness, Li Shimin opened his eyes again.

He blinked vigorously, and poured two more drops into his other eye.

After closing his eyes for a while and opening them, Li Shimin suddenly felt that his eyes were much clearer. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he could even see things more clearly.

Putting down the bottle in his hand, Li Shimin coughed and said calmly, "Tell Li Zheng, I want five hundred bottles of this medicine."

Wang Ding bowed, "Here."

After thinking about it, and thinking of Li Zheng's temperament, Li Shimin said again: "Just say that I bought it from him."

"Here." Wang Ding nodded repeatedly.

Five million guan is a small amount, and Wang Ding knew in his heart that of course Li Zheng couldn't take all of this money by himself.

Within three days, news of the negotiations between Li Zheng and Songtsan Gambo spread throughout Chang'an.

The diplomatic relations between the two countries, Li Zheng used such a method, made many people look down on him, most of them were self-proclaimed gentlemen, and they all knew Li Zheng's face thoroughly.

Li Zheng's approach is contrary to many beliefs of Confucianism.

This is clearly the act of a villain, how could a superior country do such a thing like taking advantage of the fire to loot.

As expected by Li Shimin, the impeachment memorial to Li Zheng was filled with Ganlu Hall again.

Looking at a table of impeachment memorials, Li Shimin left the Ganlu Hall with a melancholy expression.

Li Zheng was still busy in the printing factory, and the big iron drum cast by Tie Da finally matched the size of the rotary machine.

With a loud shout, the rotary machine started to run.

Only 500 people are busy in the printing factory. Compared with the original book printing workshop, which requires [-] people, paper making, mold casting, and rotary machines are much more convenient and faster.

The speed of the rotary machine, which is more than ten meters long, is also much faster than at the beginning.

At present, the problem of the conveyor belt of the rotary machine must be solved.

The conveyor belt made of bark cow rubber is really good in adsorption, but it is also very worn.

Li Zheng was still solving the problem of the conveyor belt when he saw Li Yifu bringing Wang Ding.

Wang Ding smiled and said, "Chang'an Ling, are you busy?"

Li Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, the task given by His Majesty is too heavy and I must hurry up."

Wang Ding glanced at the rotary machine and said: "Actually, His Majesty knows the situation in Jingyang. His Majesty is very satisfied with the current situation. He can produce [-] sheets of paper in an hour, which is several times more than before."

"This time the prince is here, did His Majesty give orders?"

Wang Ding nodded, "Your Majesty said that the matter of supporting Tubo this time is presided over by Chang'an Ling and Shu King Li Ke. I wonder what Chang'an Ling thinks?"

Li Zheng sneered and said, "I'm not free."
