The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 726
Looking at the red-eyed old Li Yuan who lost, the corners of Li Muyun's mouth twitched, he turned around and took a box from Mu Xin's arms, and put it on the chessboard in front of the little old man, regardless of whether he would press those pieces made of jade or not. bad.

"What's this? I'm telling you, don't expect me to forgive you with a little favor." Li Yuan said, rolling his eyes.

Li Muyun shrugged: "Open it and see if you know it. If you don't like it, put it as a bet. If you like it, put it away."

"What good things do you have, kid." The little old man Li Yuan said, while reaching out to open the box casually: "Huh? Hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, where did you get this thing?"

The little old man was an emperor after all, unlike Li Muyun's kind of turkey, he could tell what was in the box with just a glance, and asked in surprise.

Li Muyun didn't explain the origin, and asked with a playful smile: "How is it? Is this thing okay?"

Old Li Yuan didn't care where this thing came from, and waved to the eunuch who was waiting behind him: "Take it away." It was only an hour before and after, even if Li Muyun wanted to go out to rob, there was not enough time, so old Li Yuan collected the things and put them away. peace of mind.

"Tell me, boy, what's the matter this time, don't say that you sent such a thing because you just want to honor me." After receiving the things, old Li Yuan looked at Li Muyun again and asked.

Li Muyun rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "Father, you're slapping me in the face, no matter what, I'm your son, and it's not right to honor your old man."

"Oh, it seems that I really misunderstood you. In this case, you should do whatever you want."

"Ah?!" Li Muyun didn't expect the little old man to be so straightforward, and there was no other reason to murmur for a while, so he could only leave in a desperate manner.

I lost my wife and lost my army. I didn't get any benefits, and I even lost an old ginseng. Thinking about it, I feel distressed.

He wandered away from the villa area, came to Li Er's palace, and was called in after the notification.

"Why are you the only one, where is Ruoxi?"

Finding that Li Muyun was only here alone, Li Er instantly changed into a dead face.

"Let the old man stay, saying he wants to have a good get-together, no, even I was kicked out." Li Muyun spread his hands and said.

As the saying goes, using people's money to eliminate disasters, since the old man took ginseng, it should be no problem to help out.

Sure enough, when he heard the old man, Li Er changed the subject depressedly: "I heard that someone from Goguryeo was sent here?"

Li Muyun nodded: "Yes, there is a boy from the Wang family in Pingyang, with a sweet mouth and a low-key manner."

"What purpose do they have?"

"I want to buy cement and go back to build the city. As for the other things, I didn't ask. I guess I want to verify the identity of that boy Pei Xingjian."

"Cement?" A haze flashed in Li Shimin's eyes: "How did you answer him? You probably sold the cement, right?"

Datang has been using cement to build roads during this period, but this still cannot change the fact that cement can be used to build cities. Li Shimin obviously does not want Datang's army to face a strong city wall in the future.

But Li Muyun's answer disappointed Li Erda: "That's right, if they give you money, why don't you sell it?"

"You, you don't know that they want to build a city?"

"I know, but what does that matter? It's not like you don't know how much material is needed to build a city with cement. If you want to save it through normal means, you need at least three times the amount. It's all money."

"Money, money, money, you know money. Do you know that if Goguryeo used cement to build the city wall, it would need my soldiers from the Tang Dynasty to fill it with flesh and blood."

Seeing Li Muyun's indifferent expression, Li Er cursed unbearably.

This bastard knows about money all day long, but he doesn't know that although money is good, some things are not measured by money.

Li Muyun shrank his neck from being scolded. He has experienced such things a lot, and he is used to it. In eight years, go to conquer Goguryeo?"

"What do you mean?" Li Er was taken aback for a moment.

"What I mean is that we have the final say on how much cement to sell. As long as we limit their quota, it is impossible for them to build a cement city within ten or eight years, let alone what a cement city can have. Useful, at worst, just leave it there and ignore it."

"Is this your idea? If so, how much money can you make from selling that bit of cement?"

Li Shimin really doesn't understand Li Muyun's thinking, this guy always plays cards out of common sense, if you don't let him explain everything clearly, you will never know what he is thinking.

Li Muyun didn't hide his intentions this time, he smiled and said: "Brother Huang, selling things is just a cover, our real purpose is to inquire about information."

"Think about it, cement always needs to be transported into Goguryeo, right? And Goguryeo has to build some roads to cover up the facts, right? In this way, can we send a lot of secret agents to understand the geographical situation of Goguryeo?"

"When we understand the geography of Goguryeo and the climate change in Goguryeo, it is estimated that Pei Xingjian and the others have established a firm foothold there, and they will also attract a group of Goguryeo people who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty."

"When the time comes, we will have the right time and the right place. If there is harmony among people, Goguryeo will be wiped out. Even if he has a few cities built of cement, so what if the whole country is gone. Who cares about a few ruined cities? .

"This..." Li Shimin frowned and thought for a while: "You mean, it doesn't matter whether you can make money or not by doing business to inquire about Goguryeo's information?"

"How is it possible! If I don't make money, wouldn't I be at a loss?" Li Muyun struggled, "In fact, seeking information is secondary, and doing business is the main thing."

Li Er suddenly felt his hands itch, and he always had the urge to beat someone up.

Li Muyun also seemed to have seen some tricks, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Brother Huang, didn't we make a plan before, we want to mess up Goguryeo's economy first, and cause turmoil in their country. If we don't make money from them, how can it be possible?" Make them turbulent."

"Then what do you mean? Do you really plan to continue doing business with Goguryeo?"

"Yeah, why don't we continue to do it? Goguryeo thinks cement is good, so we sell it to them. They think glass is good, so we sell it to them. Anyway, those things can't be eaten, just get their money. and……."

"And what..."

"And this is not enough. In a short period of time, we have to let the Goguryeo people see hope, let them make some money, or make some benefits, so that they can sink deeper."
