Li Shimin

Chapter 530
Similarly, Fang Xuanling, Zai Changsun Wuji and the others all looked solemn!
Seeing this, You Potong thought that Li Shimin was dissatisfied, and with a bitter expression, he quickly said, "Dear Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if you think it is expensive, you can also buy seventy catties of grain with one catty of white salt!"

The expressions of Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others changed again.

They didn't expect that these Linyi hozens had such a low valuation of food. It seems that the food in Linyi is really flooded?

You Potong shuddered, and quickly said again: "Honorable Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, one catty of white salt can at most be one hundred catties of grain, no more!"

This time, Li Shimin could also see that this should be the limit of Lin Yi's envoy, he frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"One catty of white salt can be exchanged for one hundred catties of grain?"

"Exactly!"

Upathon breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.

Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others nodded slowly.

"can!"

Upathon was overjoyed.

Li Shimin asked again: "How much does glass make food?"

"Three hundred catties of grain for a piece of glass?"

"not enough!"

"Five hundred pounds?"

"At least fifteen hundred catties!"

Changsun Wuji said suddenly.

"One thousand five hundred catties?"

Upathon thought for a moment, then nodded with a relaxed expression: "Yes!"

Changsun Wuji was overjoyed, glanced at Li Shimin, and continued to ask, "Where's the tea?"

"This nobleman, one catty of tea can be exchanged for two hundred catties of grain?"

"At least five hundred catties!"

"also!"

"Where's the white wine?"

"White wine... a thousand catties?"

"I, King Jin of the Tang Dynasty, just auctioned a hundred bottles of liquor today, and I bought a bottle of liquor for five hundred shi, but Erlin needs at least a thousand shi of grain to buy a bottle of liquor!"

"A thousand stones?"

"It takes a thousand catties of white salt to exchange grain for a bottle of white wine!"

Thinking that Linyi Hozen doesn't understand arithmetic, Changsun Wuji explained.

"The food for a thousand catties of white salt?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Upathong's eyes, he really didn't settle it.

However, thinking of how much these nobles of the Tang Dynasty admired that baijiu, they nodded slowly.

"can!"

"Very good!"

Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others all had a flash of satisfaction in their eyes.

"I don't know where the envoys from Linyi set off from Linyi. My Tang Dynasty sent envoys to go to Linyi with you to buy food!"

Hearing this, a gleam of joy flashed in Upathon's eyes.

"Your Majesty Tang, what will happen in a month?"

Apparently, Upathon is still a little bit reluctant about the prosperity of Datang.

"No, ten days at the latest!"

Hou Junji stared at Upatong.

Seeing this, Upa Tong trembled and nodded repeatedly, not daring to say a word.

"Very good, then ten days later, we will set off for Linyi!"

Li Shimin seemed to see nothing, and nodded with joy.

Afterwards, he waved his hand and asked the servant to leave with Youpotong.

Seeing this, Upatong walked out with a happy face.

Let Datang use white salt, tea, glass and other items to go to Linyi to buy food, no matter what, it is a great thing for Linyi.

Even, after he returns to Linyi with the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, he will be rewarded by His Majesty the King!
When Upaton was sent out, the whole hall suddenly erupted.

"Your Majesty, I invite Ying to personally lead the mission to Linyi, seize the opportunity, and destroy that Linyi, so that the whole country can cultivate food for me in the Tang Dynasty!"

Hou Junji reported to Li Shimin expectantly.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that this kind of behavior is more beneficial to my Tang Dynasty!"

Changsun Wuji also said sympathetically.

"Slave Linyi?"

Li Shimin thought about it again and again, and before a few people could speak, he looked certain and said directly: "The king of my country, since he has agreed with the envoy of Linyi to go to Linyi to buy grain, he will go to Linyi to buy grain. Be the one who doesn't believe what he says!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Hou Junji, Changsun Wuji and others had a hint of helplessness in their eyes, but they never spoke again.

"Maoyo."

Li Shimin shouted.

"What's your majesty's order?"

Tang Jian's face brightened, and he quickly stood up and saluted.

Li Shimin confessed: "This time I will go to Linyi, you will be the envoy, and Su Dingfang, Zuo Wuhou Zhonglang, will be the deputy envoy. You must check the situation of Linyi and its kingdom clearly."

Tang Jian looked solemn, "It's okay, don't worry, Your Majesty, this minister will definitely investigate Lin Yi's country clearly, so that he will have no secrets in front of my Tang Dynasty!"

"Ok!"

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction. He still had great trust in this minister who was the first to follow Li's army.

"During the ten days, please gather supplies as soon as possible. This time, if we can buy 2 million stones of grain from Linyi, this year my Tang Dynasty will not be short of grain!
The situation is up to you to decide! "

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, according to Upa Tong's intention, Lin Yi must have stored a large amount of grain!"

Tang Jian's face remained unchanged, and he bowed his hands solemnly.

As for Linyi, there is no 2 million stone grain?That doesn't matter, as long as Su Dingfang sends troops to search, everything will be there!

Dare to deceive the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, he should teach Lin Yi a lesson!
On the side, Hou Junji was full of longing, but Li Shimin didn't even look at him, which made him very depressed.

"Very good!"

Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others also knew what Tang Jian was thinking.

Didn't say much, but took it for granted.

Afterwards, after chatting casually for a while, Tang Jian bid farewell to Li Shimin and prepared to go on an envoy.

In the afternoon, edicts were issued from the Taiji Palace.

Order Tang Jian to go to the states along the way to Linyi, such as Hangzhou, Taizhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou... and other states, to send six hundred troops and five ships to each state!
Therefore, when Tang Jian took the mission fleet all the way south along the coastline of the Tang Dynasty, every time he passed a state, a fleet would join in.After arriving in Linyi, the fleet increased directly from ten ships to a huge fleet of sixty ships, with nearly [-] soldiers.

Jiang Linyi's country was taken aback from top to bottom.

However, for these, Li Xuan just laughed lightly after hearing Li Chengqian's report.

I hope those lazy people in Linyi can satisfy Tang Jian.

Five days after the baijiu auction was over, news came.

The second giant steel ship has been built successfully.

Li Xuan also brought Ma Xi, Xue Rengui, and six hundred personal guards to Qingzhou.

Accompanied by Li Shimin's envoy Gao Biaoren, [-] generals, Captain Li Gaoping, [-] hand-throwing bombs, [-] bombs, and [-] arrow bombs!
A total of [-] generals and [-] large ships, led by the Japanese envoy Inugami Mita, headed for the Japanese country mightily.

Lieutenant Li Gaoping is Li Xiaogong's old subordinate, with a burly figure and a scar from top to bottom on his face. At first glance, he is a tough man!
And the [-] generals were all old subordinates who fought with Li Xiaogong, or elite soldiers from the coastal cities of Qingzhou and Dengzhou.

Not only is he familiar with water warfare, but if Li Xuan and others jump into the sea, these people can drag each other and swim for half a day.

Moreover, the boatmen of these fleets are also composed of veterans.

It can be said that Li Shimin also spent a lot of thought on the safety of Li Shimin's fleet.

After all, whoever got on the boat, a group of little bastards followed.

Li Xuan was also full of headaches for these little bastards who had to follow him to the country of Wa.
