Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 247

"I don't know what Yafu means, Shimin did send people to collect food secretly."

Li Shimin said slowly, he didn't hide anything from this sub-father, because presumably this sub-father had also guessed it.

After thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh with emotion, saying that the eldest grandson Wuji in the court is most like an old fox.

In fact, Changsun Wuji is not much older than him. To describe it like this is just to say that Changsun Wuji is scheming.

However, Li Shimin wondered whether all of this was due to the succession of the Yafu. If it is said that he is scheming, then no one can surpass this Yafu.

At this moment, Shu An didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking, but he couldn't help but nodded when he heard Li Shimin's words.

"There happens to be a batch of grain under the property of the Shu Mansion. I wonder if the people of the world can eat it?"

Shu An said with a flat face, as the so-called exchange, he allowed Li Shimin to take the general share before.

So it doesn't matter if you earn some food here, but buying someone's food is not buying.

Li Shimin's face was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect that Yafu would do it for such a small matter, because it was enough to explain this matter to Li Junxian.

Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Shu An knew what the emperor was thinking in just an instant, and he must have underestimated him.

"This batch of grain is a full 20 shi!"

Shu An's voice continued to sound, but it surprised Li Shimin's face.

You must know that these things are worth hundreds of thousands of guan, even if Li Shimin eats them, the treasury will be tight for a while.

"Why is there so much food?"

Li Shimin's eyes were shocked and he whispered softly, with a hint of disbelief in his words.

However, there seemed to be a flash of light in his mind, as if his sub-father had a lot of food when he was helping the disaster.

At that time, Li Shimin and the whole Chang'an were concerned about how long Yafu could last, but even in the end, Yafu still seemed to be able to handle it with ease.

After thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help becoming active in his heart. He was a little curious about where his Yafu's food came from.

After all, every rice merchant has its own region of origin, but this Asian father is the only one who has suddenly emerged.

Faced with Li Shimin's astonishment, Shu An's face didn't show any turmoil, the reason is very simple, he didn't intend to hide the situation in Lingnan.

In fact, the food price in Chang'an is indeed on the high side now. With the severe drought in Guan, it can be said that it has affected the whole world.

There was no grain in the Guannei area, and grain was mobilized from other areas. It can be said that this indirectly affected other areas.

Perhaps the change of a penny does not make much difference to a big family, but it is not the same to an ordinary family.

It is for this reason that Shu An did not hide his idea of ​​cheap food in Lingnan, of course, the premise is that he sells this batch of food.

"The people of the world bought Yafu's grain at the market price, but they didn't know that Yafu had so much grain."

Li Shimin said faintly, although there are a full 20 shi, it is not impossible to eat it.

And he can feel that the border will not be peaceful in the future, and a lot of food is also needed at this time.

If even the soldiers can't get enough to eat, then naturally there is nothing else to say.

Of course, when this question was asked, Li Shimin was mainly curious. After all, there is so much food, which naturally makes people interested.

"You have no jokes!"

It's just that after Li Shimin finished speaking, Shu An's eyes lit up.

Originally, he wanted to sell it to Li Shimin at a lower price because the food was cheap, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to dig a hole for himself, so he was naturally impolite.

Li Shimin was a little stunned, because after hearing what his father said, he couldn't help feeling a bad feeling in his heart.

But his heart quickly calmed down. There was nothing wrong with his previous words, but the only uneasiness was that the old man in front of him seemed to be planning something.

"Shimin will naturally not break his promise!"

No matter how he was thinking in his heart, Li Shimin still vowed to speak out on the surface.

Originally, he was only interested in these grains, but he became more interested in following his father's words.

"I hope you don't go back on your word!"

Shu An's eyes flickered and he said, in fact, he doesn't value money, but sometimes it seems good to add trouble to this emperor.

In particular, this kind of unequal information caused Shu An to have a great sense of superiority.

Seeking a sense of superiority from the young Li Shimin, this kind of thing does not happen very often, Shu An naturally cannot miss the opportunity.

"I have never regretted it!"

Li Shimin's eyes fell on Shu An and he said, this time he used Zhen, which can be said to represent his determination.

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Shu An started to chuckle lightly.

The originally stiff atmosphere dissipated with this smile, but before Li Shimin could get annoyed, Shu An's voice sounded again.

"These grains come from Lingnan!"

When the voice fell, Li Shimin's face was stunned. He had thought about many regions and many Daozhous, but he had never thought that these came from Lingnan.

Of course, he also thought of Feng An in Lingnan, and Feng An sent his son to Chang'an last year, but Li Shimin didn't get too entangled in this point.

"Lingnan is far away from Chang'an, how can we spend so much effort to transport it to Chang'an?"

Li Shimin's eyes flickered, showing a trace of disbelief, and he asked aloud, knowing that the farther the place is, the higher the cost will naturally be, and he is naturally clear about this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have communicated with these rice merchants, just to buy their food.

"Wait, unless!"

However, Li Shimin was an emperor after all, so he quickly calmed down, unless the original cost of food was very low.

And Shu An on the other side saw that Li Shimin seemed to have some understanding, and the smile on his face became stronger.

"The land in Lingnan is hot, so there are two or even three crops a year. Food is nothing to Lingnan, even if there are years of wars."

"These grains all come from Lingnan, and a bucket of rice only costs more than two pennies."

Shu An's voice sounded slowly, but every word made Li Shimin fall into consternation.

According to many people's understanding, Lingnan is regarded as a poor country, but today he seems to feel that his thinking is a little wrong.

It's just that Li Shimin soon thought of what he said before. According to the market price, the 20 shimi would at least bring Shu An more than three times the profit. For a while, the emperor was heartbroken.
