Datang Nongwang

Chapter 262 Discuss Business with the Holy One
Lucky stars are not lucky stars.

It was not easy for Li Chongyuan to ask, let alone ask.

Moreover.

With so many people present, if Li Chongyuan really asked, others would probably say that Li Chongyuan was dumbfounded.

After returning to the palace where Li Shimin handles official duties.

At this time, Li Chongyuan was honest like a good boy, standing aside and waiting for Li Shimin to speak.

And this time.

Li Shimin, who was full of food and drink, stared at Li Chongyuan like a monkey.

This made Li Chongyuan really feel that in front of Li Shimin, he was really like that monkey, being carried from here to there by him, and from there to here.

Just like the great sage Wukong in his house.

And Wang Li was like an old monk, standing there, squinting his eyes, as if dozing off.

After staring at Li Shimin for a long time, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he approached Li Chongyuan, "Chongyuan, do you know how many lives your Huaishan vermicelli can save?"

"Ah? Help? What kind of life?" Li Chongyuan was baffled by this sudden question, and his eyes flickered with confusion.

"You, you, you left Chang'an and went to Lizhuang, and you don't even care about the recent situation of my Tang country. It seems that it's time to add more burdens to you." Li Shimin looked at Li Chongyuan who was full of suspicion, and reached out his hand to nod again. .

Li Chongyuan really doesn't know at this time.

And when Li Chongyuan heard that he was going to put more burdens on himself, he immediately became anxious, "Your Majesty, please don't, I haven't taken office yet, and you have to add burdens to me. I'm young and my physique is not as good as others. , the burden is heavy, I am afraid that I will die early."

"What are you talking about! Forget it, since you don't want to, then talk about it in a few years." Seeing Li Chongyuan's words like this, Li Shimin had to stop.

Then, Li Shimin turned to Li Chongyuan again and said, "Now that you have made Huaishan vermicelli, it can be regarded as saving many people. The memos submitted by Fenzhou in the past few days have almost made me burn out." , and your Huaishan vermicelli came just in time."

When Li Chongyuan heard this, he already understood what Li Shimin said.

The area of ​​Fenzhou, that is, the area of ​​Shanxi, is drought this year.

And Shandong's grain output is underreported.

The south of the Yangtze River is flooded again.

There was a shortage of food and the people were in poverty.

In short.

This year is not a good year.

And now it's winter again, and the weather is cold.

The people did not eat, and their bodies were extremely cold.

If the imperial court does not distribute food, it may cause starvation everywhere.

"Your Majesty, since there is a shortage of food in Fenzhou, why don't you open a warehouse to help?" Li Chongyuan cupped his hands and said.

"Open a warehouse for relief? Huh! The officials in the upper and lower levels of Fenzhou are greedy, and all the grain in the granary has been resold by them. How can they open a warehouse for relief? So, at the moment, we can only hope for your Huaishan vermicelli. " Li Shimin became angry immediately after hearing Li Chongyuan's words.

as he said.

Officials of Fenzhou.

It's really audacious.

The grain that was originally used for storage was sold by these officials together.

This year happened to be a severe drought again.

This is not.

Don't talk about relief, even porridge can't be given out.

otherwise.

The newly dispatched officials will not be able to submit a memorial to Chang'an in three days.

And this time.

Listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Chongyuan seemed to regard his own Huaishan as the imperial court.

This made Li Chongyuan suddenly nervous.

The Huaishan was planted by myself without knowing how much money and sweat. Even if the imperial court was short of food, they couldn't use their own Huaishan as relief food, right?
There is a precedent for food being expropriated.

Li Chongyuan didn't want his Huaishan to be confiscated by the imperial court, so he quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you see that I'm buying land and fattening up. I get up and work every day before dawn, and I don't go home until the sun goes down. It’s not easy to get this harvest, my lord, you can’t take away my Huaishan, I’m in debt.”

Pretend to be pitiful and behave well.

It's really useless at this time.

There is a saying.

He is the emperor of the Tang Kingdom, so he can accept Li Chongyuan's Huaishan with a single sentence, and Li Chongyuan has nothing to do.

The affairs of the country are of great importance to the people.

Although Li Shimin took the throne from his elder brother, he still attaches great importance to the affairs of the common people.

As for whether Li Chongyuan is important or not, Li Chongyuan really doesn't know at this time.

But for Li Chongyuan right now, he has no other choice but to pretend to be pitiful and behave well.

"Look at your stingy look, you are my family member of the Li family, a little Huaishan will make you cry poor, I know you are poor, I will not want your Huaishan for nothing. However, the method and formula of Huaishan vermicelli , you have to hand it over, this is the ration to save the people, don't miss the affairs of the state and the lives of the people." Seeing Li Chongyuan's pitiful appearance like a child whose toy was taken away at this moment, Li Shimin's eyes were very displeased.

Whether Li Shimin likes it or not, Li Chongyuan doesn't care.

But when Li Chongyuan heard that it was not for nothing, he felt a lot of joy, "Then, my lord, do you see the price of Huaishan?"

Li Chongyuan at this moment.

That profiteer-like face immediately hung up.

This made Li Shimin take a look, and his displeasure was aggravated a lot.

"What do you mean!" Li Shimin asked angrily.

Li Chongyuan knew that Li Shimin was unhappy at this time.

But for your own benefit, you can't lose yourself and benefit others no matter what.

Moreover.

Li Chongyuan knew it.

As long as you hand in your Huaishan, hand in the method, and present the formula.

Those aristocratic families, as well as prominent families from all over the world, and even local clans from all over the world, will definitely swarm up and plant Huaishan wantonly.

By the time.

There will be as many Huaishan vermicelli all over the world.

although.

Li Chongyuan would like to see such a situation.

It is definitely not the common people who can profit, but those famous families.

Li Chongyuan, who was thinking in his heart, estimated how much his Huaishan would sell, and also calculated how much this batch would sell. Finally, Li Chongyuan had an idea in his mind.

Li Chongyuan, who had already counted, said with a sinister smile in his heart: "Your Majesty, what do you think of this? As for Huaishan, I will keep it for now, and I will build a workshop for making Huaishan vermicelli by myself. How about buying Chen's Huaishan vermicelli?"

"No, Fenzhou is imminent. This method can be used as usual, but it can't be done now. Huaishan is purchased by the imperial court, and you have to hand over the formula." After hearing Li Chongyuan's words, Li Shimin directly Refused.

This made Li Chongyuan immediately want to jump off the building.

At the end of the day, it’s still the same, and there’s nothing I can do if I want to change it.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, the lowest price of Huaishan is 35 Wen a catty. If it is lower, I will really lose my money and drink the northwest wind." Li Chongyuan replied helplessly.

Let's talk business.

The price has naturally gone up.

The price Li Chongyuan offered was 35 Wen per catty.

This price can be said to be comparable to the price of wild top Huaishan.
