Li Shimin

Chapter 487

"Master, when will it be ready?"

Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

For the country of Goguryeo, they all wished that it would be completely destroyed tomorrow.

"My master is just an idle king who is idle in a small mountain village, and does not manage the government affairs of the court. How would I know?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but glared at these bastards.

Then, he looked at Li Chengqian: "You have been allowed by His Majesty to listen to the government, and you should be the one who knows best about this!"

Hearing this, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and the others were startled, this time they remembered that Li Chengqian could go to the Taiji Palace to listen to politics every day, and they hurriedly looked at Li Chengqian.

"Master, I don't know either!"

However, Li Chengqian was still in a daze. Even if he was listening to the government, he just listened to it, and it was just the political affairs of the past few days.

As for the memorials on the attack on Goguryeo, he hadn't seen many of them. Most of them were those generals clamoring to lead troops to destroy Goguryeo, just a few words over and over again!

"Since you don't know, go over there to read the memorial and ask your majesty and the prince and master of the East Palace!"

Li Xuan said with a look of disgust.

"Yes, Master!"

Li Chengqian nodded quickly.

"In addition, you can plant more glass vegetables this year. The Turkic War has been decided, and many veterans have already retreated. Your Majesty has also started to form a transport team to run from Chang'an City to Qingzhou Line.

Today, the glass greenhouse vegetables grown by Er and others can be sold not only around Chang'an City, but also in Henan Province. "

Li Xuan said again.

"Yes, Master!"

Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others nodded again.

Then, thinking of something, Li Chengqian said again: "Master, the concrete road from Chang'an to Liangzhou has also been paved!"

"So fast?"

Li Xuan's expression brightened again, and he said: "In this way, we can also sell vegetables to countries such as Tuyuhun, Tubo, and the Western Regions! Especially those dried pickles can also be sold!"

"However, it's still barter, not money!"

"Barter?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others couldn't help being startled again.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"In the past, we used silk, glass mirrors, ceramics, and even beautiful woolen clothes to buy yak meat from Tubo. Now, I, Tang Dynasty, can use vegetables and white wine to buy yak meat from Tubo!
In this case, it can be the same in Tuyuhun, I will only change meat such as cattle and sheep! "

"However, master, after a year of purchases, I have bought back tens of thousands of yak jerky from Tubo. Now even the farmers in the village like me have more than ten catties of yak jerky in their homes. They use yak jerky Come for a snack!"

Li Chongyi said.

"Master, all the farmers in my village also bought some yak jerky. We have been buying yak jerky from Tubo, and it is not that profitable!" Cheng Chusi was also a little puzzled.

"Do not make money?"

Li Xuan couldn't help being startled, and asked with some doubts, "How unprofitable is it?"

"Master, it costs a stone of beef to earn a hundred coins!"

Li Chongyi said.

"Isn't one hundred pennies a profit? As long as you don't lose money, you will make a lot of money!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but startled.

"If you don't lose, you will make a lot of money?"

Hearing this, Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and the others couldn't help being taken aback.

"Tell me, how much money can [-] stones of yak jerky make for the nobles of the Tubo Kingdom?" Li Xuan asked.

"Returning to Master, I have calculated that a stone of yak meat can at least earn the same amount of money for the Tubo nobles, but if this money is exchanged for silk, glass mirrors, ceramics, or even beautiful woolen clothes and sent to Tubo, those Tubo nobles Expensive is equivalent to earning dozens of money on a stone of yak meat!"

Li Baoding said helplessly.

"And how much money does Tubo need to spend to raise a cow?" Li Xuan said again.

"Master, they only need a piece of grass!"

After thinking it over, Cheng Chusi gritted his teeth and said, "These hozen really make a lot of money!"

Li Xuan still looked calm, "If you can make money like this by raising a yak, what will you do?"

"Naturally raise more yaks!"

Without thinking, Cheng Chusi replied subconsciously.

"Then if you have to raise horses, which piece of grass is not enough to raise yaks and horses at the same time?"

"Then keep fewer horses!"

"What if the grass is not enough for yaks?"

"Then grab it!"

"Who robbed?"

"of course……"

With that said, Cheng Chusi finally came back to his senses, and looked at Li Xuan with surprise.

"But master, it seems that the nobles in Tubo haven't messed up yet!"

"That means the interests of yaks are not big enough. They don't have so many yaks. When they realize that even after reducing the number of horses, the pastures are not enough, they will start to think of their neighbors' pastures!"

Li Xuan said calmly.

"Master, don't worry, we will grow some vegetables and sell them to countries like Tubo and Tuyuhun!"

Cheng Chusi looked excited.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded, "Anyway, glass is not worth much, and those iron shelves and stoves can be used many times!"

On the side, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi nodded their heads in agreement.

It's just that my heart hurts endlessly.

How can glass, iron frames, and stoves be worthless?

Anything sold outside is worth several pennies!

"In addition, any new objects that appear in the Tang Dynasty in the future, as long as they are not iron objects, can also be given to Tubo and Tuyuhun! Moreover, as long as they accept it, the price can be increased dozens of times. As for Silla, Baekje Even small countries can do the same!" Li Xuan said again.

"Yes, Master!"

Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others nodded again.

After speaking, Li Xuan didn't think of anything else to say, so he turned around and walked upstairs.

Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others looked at each other and rested for a while, then turned around and left quickly.

……

Outside Chang'an City.

A conspicuous veteran of the Tang Dynasty transport team, driving twenty four-wheeled carriages, quickly drove into Chang'an City.

Walking all the way, it stopped at the gate of Honglu Temple.

Afterwards, a leading Japanese man got out of the carriage and revealed his identity.

"The Japanese are sending their dogs to San Tiansi, and I have seen two Shangguans!"

Also two months ago, the two officials of Honglu Temple who received Inugami Mitasuke.

"Why did you return to Datang like this?"

Seeing Inugami Mita, the two Honglu Temple officials were also very surprised.

"Back to the two Shangguans, this time I'm here to pay tuition fees to Datang, and to do business with His Royal Highness King Jin!"

Inugami Mita said quickly.

"These carriages?"

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the two Honglu Temple officials, and then they looked curiously at the carriage behind them.

"Back to the two Shangguans, these carriages are filled with money and treasures brought by the envoys from Japan!"

Inugami Mita said.

"Twenty cars?"

The two officials of Honglu Temple couldn't help being startled.

"Going back to the two Shangguans, there are only ten cars, and the other ten cars are members of our mission!"

Inuami Mita explained.

"I see!"

The two Honglu Temple officials breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after realizing it, his eyes widened again.

The property of ten chariots!

"I will arrange for you to stay in the Honglu Guesthouse first, and then go to meet His Royal Highness King Jin!"

"Thank you two superiors!"

Inuami Mita quickly saluted.

In the afternoon, in the entire Chang'an city, all the households with some strength knew about it.

The Japanese embassy came to do business with His Royal Highness King Jin with ten carriages and belongings!
