Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 402
Chapter [-] is so stupid
Changsun Wuji was very disappointed at this time. He thought he was well educated and talented.However, he couldn't get in the way of Chen Ying's conversation with Li Shimin.Changsun Wuji quietly left the large tent of the Chinese army and went outside. Suddenly he noticed something unusual. The prince of the East Palace, led by the left and right guards, and the left and right siyu led the entire army of more than [-] soldiers, all of whom were wearing down jackets.

Since the winter of the first year of Wude, Chen Ying invented the down jacket, which was steamed and sterilized at high temperature, and then filled into clothing instead of fur. This lightweight, flexible, and warm-keeping down jacket quickly became popular in Chang'an, and was even exported to the grasslands. .The price of a down jacket can be sold for two to three hundred guan in Chang'an. If it is in the hands of the Turkic nobles on the grassland, the price will increase tenfold, and it can be sold for two to 300 taels of gold, which is equivalent to three thousand guan.

The best down is of course ducks. However, due to the low food production in this era, although artificially raised ducks exist, they are rare. A down jacket includes a down jacket and a pair of trousers. At least one and a half catties of down are needed, and at least [-] ducks are needed. Down is strong enough.

The production of down jackets is limited by the number of ducks, and has not increased. At this time, there is no hormone feed, and they are all fed with grain or wheat bran. It takes almost a year for a duck to grow, and a duck needs to eat a year Nearly 150 to 180 catties of grain are lost, plus labor costs, a duck costs about [-] to [-] yuan.However, with the stimulation of the price market for down jackets, each duck in Chang'an now sells for between [-] and [-] yuan, and the cost of down jackets is around [-] to [-] guan.

Even if Chen Ying got down jackets at cost price, a down jacket would be as high as 100 to 300 guan, and more than 170 people would have one piece, which would cost more than [-] million guan.There are also duvets, probably more than [-] million.Thinking about Changsun Wuji makes me shudder.At the beginning of Li Yuan's army, he received the support of the Taiyuan Wang family, Taiyuan Wen family, Qinghe Cui family and Longyou Li family. The four major families donated nearly [-] million property and materials to Li Yuan. Since then, Li Yuan and Li Tang The dynasty did not need to rely on wars to support wars like other rebels, and plundered the money and food of the common people or wealthy households everywhere, so as to gain the name of a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

This information is very important. How could Chen Ying have such a large-scale financial resource?Obviously, this financial source must be Li Jiancheng. Although Chen Ying was born in the Hou Mochen family, the Hou Mochen family did not have such a large financial resources at all.

If Li Jiancheng really had the support of such a large amount of financial resources, and was willing to invest such a large amount of capital in order to win a chance to win the main attack, then Li Shimin would have no chance of winning in this struggle for the heir apparent.Whether it is seizing the heir or seizing the world, the most critical and core issue is one word "money".

The so-called price of loyalty is because there is not enough bargaining chips for betrayal. Li Jiancheng is willing to invest millions of guan in a robbing of military exploits, so once he wants to win over or buy Li Shimin's direct line, I am afraid that in the end Li Shimin will not have a few people left.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji was not calm at all.

Changsun Wuji returned to the big tent, but Chen Ying's face was also flushed. He, Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were each holding a large porcelain bowl, and chomped down on a kind of food called oil splashed noodles.Noodles were not called noodles at this time, they were still called soup cakes, but Chen Ying chose to call soup cakes noodles.

Li Shimin was not as stubborn as Chen Ying, but the name Noodles was more appropriate.Oil splash noodles are actually very simple, that is, put the boiled noodles into a bowl, spread the chopped green onion, pepper powder, salt and other ingredients on the surface with a thick layer of chili noodles, and pour hot vegetable oil on the surface For the seasoning, heat the oil to boil immediately, boil the pepper noodles and chili noodles until the bowl is full of red light, then add an appropriate amount of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar.It can also be eaten with cured meat, tomatoes and eggs.

However, at this time, Chen Ying did not have chili peppers, which made Chen Ying very regretful. Fortunately, it has been almost two years since he came to this world, and Chen Ying is also used to the days without chili peppers. Holding the bowl, Chen Ying secretly thought , When is it time to get a fleet to bring back peppers, corn, soybeans, etc. from the Americas?

Changsun Wuji stared dumbfounded at Li Shimin's imageless mouthful of soup cakes, while wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Wuji, you came just in time!" Li Shimin muttered with the noodles still in his mouth, "Hurry up while it's hot, this soup cake..."

Chen Ying corrected again: "Yes, oily noodles"!
"Yes, oil-splashed noodles!" Li Shimin said: "Although it is a simple food in the army, it is better than delicacies from mountains and seas."

As he said that, Li Shimin said to a guard beside him, "Quickly go and give me another bowl!"

The guard also swallowed hard. Although he said there was no chili, there was still no shortage of ginger, onion, garlic, and especially tomatoes. The only pity was that there were no vegetables.

Li Shimin finished three bowls of noodles in a row, and looked at Chen Ying spreading his hands: "Your Highness, there are no more!"

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Du Ruhui.Du Ruhui hurriedly took the noodles in the bowl to his mouth two or three times, and there was not even a little bit of soup left in the bowl.

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji's hesitation, and said with a leisurely smile: "The lonely king almost forgot that Wuji is a meat eater, and he doesn't like meat, come and get some meat for Wuji!"

At this moment, Changsun Wuji was in no mood to eat.

Seeing Changsun Wuji nodding his head, Li Shimin quickly grabbed the bowl of oil-splashed noodles specially reserved for Changsun Wuji, fearing that Changsun Wuji would regret it, so he quickly put it in his mouth.

Chen Ying saw that Du Ruhui had finished eating, and asked, "His Royal Highness, shall we continue?"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "That's right, let's go on, Keming, please record it!"

Du Ruhui's arms were numb and weak at this moment, and in just one and a half hours, Chen Ying had already spoken no less than [-] words, and his wrist was shaking as he recorded, but King Qin had an order, so he had to obey.

Chen Ying held the teacup, and Xiao Min took a sip and said, "I can absolutely control the Turkic economy, obey Datang, and be willing to surrender to Datang, even if it is only in name, I can also give them a chance to trade with each other, so that they can drink our Datang. Tang's tea, wearing Han's clothes, there is a way to go from the simple to the extravagant, and from the extravagant to the shallow, it is difficult when they develop a habit...huh..."

For Datang, the surrounding countries are all scumbags. Even Goguryeo, which is known as the small power of Northeast Asia, is actually a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural country. They are self-sufficient and cannot do it at all.As long as economic output is adopted, their already fragile economic system can be completely destroyed in a very short period of time.

Changsun Wuji was still unflinching towards Chen Yingke, and retorted: "The Turkic people are fierce by nature. Even if they have nothing, as long as they have a knife in their hand, they will go south to rob. Now our Tang Dynasty has wiped out Liu Wuzhou. , Lost the buffer zone with the Turks, once tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry go south, everything will belong to the Turks!"

"Actually, I just can't figure it out. Why does Tang Dynasty have to send troops? Isn't it good to subdue the enemy without fighting?" Chen Ying said with a smile: "As the saying goes, we must first settle down when fighting against the outside world. If the Central Plains is undecided, Hebei Once Dou Jiande completes his control of Shandong, he will either turn around and go south to compete with Wang Shichong for the Central Plains, or return to deal with Luo Yi in Youzhou. Once Dou Jiande is allowed to complete the layout, it will be the real misfortune of Datang!"

Li Shimin smiled wryly: "How can there be so many soldiers who surrender without fighting?"

"Why not? Let's just talk about Chuluo Khan Ashina Tulivshe. He has two sons, Ashina Osheshe and Ashina Yusheshe, and he has three younger brothers, Ashina Dhushe Bi, Ashina Bulishe, Ashina wants to set up, and this will be done."

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "What does Chu Luo Khan's son and younger brother have to do with our Datang? Could it be that they will help Datang kill their father?"

Chen Ying has always been respected by people, and he is respected by others. Changsun Wuji didn't know what kind of gunpowder he took, and he always talked to him with a gun and a stick. Naturally, Chen Ying would not be polite, Chen Yingchong Seeing Changsun Wuji's voice suddenly raised an octave: "You are really stupid!"

"You!" Changsun Wuji was so angry that his forehead bulged when he heard this.His face was flushed red like a red cloth.

Chen Ying suddenly became frightened, he was really afraid that Changsun Wuji would get angry in front of him.

You must know that Changsun Wuji's body shape is developing horizontally. Just as Li Shimin said, he has no meat and no joy. With such a fat body, he also likes to eat meat. He is a proper three-high crowd. Chen Ying would face another life lawsuit if he had an attack.

Fortunately, Chen Ying's worries were unnecessary. Changsun Wuji held back for a long time, and finally said: "If you don't tell me about Zi Chou Yinmao today, I will never end with your surname Chen!"
