Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 372 The true intentions of the countries, Goguryeo giving gifts
The representatives of various countries have a lot of thoughts.

But the kneeling Japanese envoy couldn't bear to think too much.

With a flattering smile, he agreed to Li Shimin's terms.

The representatives of other countries looked at it, spit in their hearts, and scorned it extremely.

"Hahaha, the envoy from Japan is really happy, I offer you a toast!"

Li Shimin laughed happily.

He raised his glass and looked at the kneeling Japanese envoy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Khan!"

The Japanese envoy stood up and returned to his seat to raise his glass to greet him.

After drinking a cup, the Dongpu envoy's face became a little calmer, and he sat down slowly, not paying attention to the eyes of the people around him.

"Everyone, continue."

Li Shimin spoke again.

The smile is obviously much bigger than at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, I am here this time for the firecracker."

"May I ask if you can sell the firecrackers in your country? The Khan of our country is willing to buy them at a high price."

The envoy Xue Yantuo got up and said.

"Western Turks also mean this!"

"Goguryeo also means the same thing!"

"Silla (Baekje) also means that!"

The rest of the countries stood up one after another and said what they really thought.

They all came because of the firecrackers, and they all wondered if there was a chance to buy the firecrackers?
Showing weakness to Datang is second.

"They all want firecrackers."

Li Shimin chuckled and said calmly.

Sure enough, they all came rushing towards the guns.

But the lethality of the firecracker is so great, how can it be sold to them?
"May His Majesty Khan make it happen!"

The representatives of various countries saluted one after another, very sincerely.

"I already know what you mean."

"But the firecrackers are so lethal, I can't sell them to you at will, lest you fight each other, let me discuss with the ministers and workers."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Selling is not willing to sell, but there is no need to say no.

Whether Wu Xing Qi Wang already has those thirty firecrackers is still uncertain.

If they have it, it will be a matter of time for the countries to have it, maybe they should make that money.

But this matter has to be discussed with Fang Yuan, to see if Fang Yuan wants to sell some defective products to Zhu Guo.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Khan."

Representatives from various countries thanked Li Shimin one after another.

But he complained endlessly in his heart, scolding Li Shimin for being shameless.

It is obvious that they don't want to sell them to target Datang because of the huge lethality, but they say it is to prevent them from fighting each other.

War itself is death, is it necessary to say so hypocritically?
The banquet continues.

Representatives of various countries once again expressed their country's aspirations.

During the subsequent banquet, everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very intense, and it didn't end until evening.

After the banquet, the representatives of various countries were sent out of the palace and returned to Honglu Temple to welcome them.

As for Fang Yuan and others, they were left behind for a simple meeting.

"Do you think the firecracker is worth selling?"

Li Shimin drank a cup of hangover soup and asked calmly.

Changsun Wuji and the others didn't speak, but looked at Fang Yuan at the side.

As we all know, Fang Yuan has always been in control of the fire gun, and Fang Yuan knows the fire gun best.

Whether it can be sold or not is Fang Yuan's decision, so there is no need to volunteer to avoid embarrassment.

"It's better not to sell!"

"If it must be sold, I will choose some eliminated products for them!"

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

The gun must have flowed out.

There are so many people in the four-way army, and there are people from many aristocratic families.

After the war, many people died and many guns were lost.

Although Fang Yuan secretly meant that people can die, but the firecracker must be recovered.

But despite this, thousands of firecrackers were lost in this four-way battle.

Therefore, the firecrackers are no longer unique to the research institute, and soon there will be others outside.

But it will take at least one or two years for them to really master the firecracker technology, and they cannot sell it to foreigners in a short time.

"Since that's the case, I think it's better to sell some out-of-date products to them, and earn them a fortune."

Li Shimin said after pondering for a moment.

Now the imperial court is hardly short of money, very short of money.

At this time, the countries want firecrackers, so they sell them.

Anyway, it is an out-of-stock product, which is very different from Datang's, and it is not an opponent at all.

After all, even if Datang doesn't sell them, within a year or two, others will be sold to them.

This money is not earned for nothing.

"I think it should be sold!"

Fang Xuanling said solemnly.

Everyone already knows about the possible loss of firecrackers.

Fang Yuan will definitely not take this kind of thing on his own, lest he has to be responsible in the future.

"The same is true for the minister."

Changsun Wuji and others expressed their opinions one after another.

Since there will be firecrackers researched by others in the near future.

At this time, if you can make a lot of money from the various countries, it is better to make this money.

"Fang Yuan."

Li Shimin looked at Fang Yuan and said.

Regarding the fire gun, Li Shimin respected Fang Yuan's opinion very much.

"There are not many eliminated items, maybe less than [-]."

"When His Majesty wants to sell them, at most two thousand per country."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

The eliminated products of the firecrackers will be destroyed every once in a while.

After destroying the furnace, it is rebuilt, and the raw materials are used again to make new firecrackers.

"I understand."

"Master Fang, eldest grandson, let the two of you handle this matter."

"Remember, don't be in a hurry, it's them who are in a hurry, not us."

Li Shimin nodded, looked at Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, and laughed.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji should be respectful.

Next, the meeting ended, and everyone left the palace and returned to their homes.

After Fang Yuan returned, it was already dark, and Du Miaoyan and others had already finished their meal.

As soon as he sat down and told Du Miaoyan what happened in the palace, the gate guards came in to report that the Goguryeo envoy visited.

"not see!"

Fang Yuan refused without thinking.

An envoy from a country seeks an audience late at night, and if people find out, what's the deal?

So not seeing is best.

"They said they have something urgent to see, please be sure to see them."

"I saw that they were wearing secret clothes. If they didn't reveal their identities, I wouldn't even know they were from Goguryeo."

The gatekeeper said truthfully.

"No, let them go back."

"If you take benefits from others, you will give them back."

Fang Yuan remained unmoved, and would not meet them.

Seeing this, the guard at the gate smiled embarrassingly and left obediently.

But soon, he came back.

"My lord, they won't go."

"They say they must see you, but if you don't, they will force their way in."

The gate guard said awkwardly.

They wanted to forcibly drive each other away, but the other side was ruthless.

In the capacity of the other party, the guards and others did not dare to forcibly drive them away.

"Hmph, are you still forcing your way in?"

Fang Yuan's eyes sank, he sneered.

As a country's envoy, you have to give face.

But it would be too much to forcibly break into Minister Tang's mansion.

Even driving them away with a stick is reasonable.

"Husband, if you don't see me, maybe there is something urgent."

Du Miaoyan said suddenly.

"See you then."

Fang Yuan frowned, pondered for a moment and said.

He didn't want to see him, but Du Miaoyan asked, so I'll see you then.

As Du Ruhui's daughter, Du Miaoyan's political awareness is definitely not lower than her own.

She realized there might be something urgent, or something really urgent.

Soon, the Goguryeo envoys were secretly introduced to Fangfu and arranged in the study.

Soon, Fang Yuan saw the other party.

It was the young man I saw in the palace during the day.

But this time he was more than one person, and there were two girls in hats.

"Meet Fang Shangshu!"

The young man saluted politely.

The two women behind him also saluted.

"Third Prince, you are welcome. Please sit down."

Fang Yuan politely returned the gift and invited the other party to sit down.

The young man has a different identity. He is the third prince of Goguryeo, Gao Tianzhi.

"I'm really sorry for disturbing you late at night."

"But the matter must not be announced to the outside world, it can only be done in this way."

Gao Tianzhi apologized to Fang Yuan again.

"Third Prince, if you have anything to say, just ask."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

"This is my thousand-year-old ginseng from Goguryeo, Polygonum multiflorum, Angelica, please accept it."

"And the two of them will stay in front of you and serve you in the future."

Gao Tianzhi first showed his sincerity and pointed to the two women behind him.

The two women cooperated and brought two boxes to open, which contained some precious medicinal materials.

It doesn't look like much from the outside at night, but judging from the size, it is indeed vintage.

At least those two ginsengs are the largest ones Fang Yuan has ever seen.

Look at these two girls again, their skin is as fair as milk, and their looks are top-notch.

"The third prince hasn't said anything yet."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

Neither accepted nor rejected.

The medicinal materials are all good medicinal materials. Fangfu has these medicinal materials, but they have never seen such good ones.

If it is a small matter, it is in line with your own wishes, and you can help, you can help, listen to it first and then decide.

"I want to ask Mr. Fang to support me to become the next king of Goguryeo!"

Gao Tianzhi said in a deep voice.

Both eyes stared at Fang Yuan quietly.

"It's not my business to get involved!"

Fang Yuan frowned, shook his head and said.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Gao Tianzhi who supported Gao Tianzhi to become the next king of Goguryeo.

This surprised Fang Yuan.

At the same time, I understand that this is not my place to intervene.

Although Goguryeo is nominally a vassal state of Datang, the King of Goguryeo will notify Datang in name of his appointment.

But that is all in name, and the Tang Dynasty has not been able to interfere with the inauguration of the king in Goguryeo.

"It is only necessary for the adults to provide firecracker support at critical times."

Gao Tianzhi said in a deep voice.

Looking eagerly at Fang Yuan.

Dynasty replacement is mainly a matter of strength.

As long as he has Fang Yuan's support, plus domestic support, defeating the eldest prince and ascending to the throne is not a problem.

"After all, it's still a firecracker, right?"

"To be honest, the court decided to sell firecrackers to you, but the quantity may be around [-]."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly.

This said, the medicinal materials sent by Gao Tianzhi belonged to Fang Yuan.

It is considered to be selling information to the other party, regardless of whether the other party accepts it or not.

"Decided to sell?!"

"No, why would you sell it?!"

Gao Tianzhi was greatly surprised, he couldn't believe what Fang Yuan said.

"You'll find out in a few days."

Fang Yuan smiled unabated.

"Even so, there are only about [-] pieces, and it's impossible to hold them in my hands."

"Lord Fang, can you support me to take the position? If I take the position, Goguryeo will give you ten beauties every year, and give you [-]% of the financial revenue every year. These precious medicinal materials will also be available every year."

Gao Tianzhi said in a deep voice.

Even if Datang decides to sell firecrackers, it is not by himself.

At that time, it will be used by the king, then the eldest prince, and then the second prince. The third prince probably has nothing.

In this way, Fang Yuan's support is needed even more, and it is possible to become the king of Goguryeo.

"There are so many benefits?"

Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, he couldn't believe it.

Goguryeo is a small country, but compared to Dongying Xue Yantuo, it is a big country.

One percent of a country's fiscal revenue is a huge amount, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions.

The main reason is that there is a business every year, lying down and making money, which is really exciting, and there are beauties and precious medicinal materials every year.

"I also ask Mr. Fang to complete it!"

Gao Tianzhi's eyes also brightened, thinking that Fang Yuan would agree.

"It's not impossible to promise you, but I have conditions."

Fang Yuan pondered for a while and then said.

"Please say."

Gao Tianzhi slowly regained his composure, and said in a deep voice.

"One, I want to have a place in Goguryeo, like a county, and the control is completely mine."

"Second, after you take office, paper money must be fully implemented, and paper money must be printed and issued by Huaxia Bank."

"Three, no third person should know about the affairs between us."

Fang Yuan proposed three conditions.

In fact, it only said two conditions.

The third condition is not a condition at all.

"no problem!"

Gao Tianzhi gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice.

The first and second conditions are very harsh, not much different from betraying the country.

But if he can't be a king, then everything in Goguryeo has nothing to do with him.

Not only is it irrelevant, but I may suffer a big blow, and I will lose my glory and wealth since then.

"In that case, you should go back first."

"I'll find you after I've written a detailed contract."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Whether this matter is of great importance, Fang Yuan has to consider it carefully.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Gao Tianzhi nodded heavily.

After putting on the hat, he left the study room and was escorted out of Fangfu by the security guard.

The two young girls he brought were left behind and were dealt with by Fang Yuan, regardless of life or death.

"Fang, Master Fang, are you going to kill us?"

Suddenly, one of the two girls said with a pale face.

The other girl's face was also pale, and her eyes were already rosy.

They just heard Fang Yuan say that no third person should know, so they guessed their own fate.

"You guys are smart, do you have any last words?"

Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smirk.

"My lord, we don't want to die, we will keep our mouths shut."

The girl who spoke immediately knelt down and choked up.

The same is true of another girl, repeatedly begging for mercy.

"Only the dead are really tight-lipped."

Fang Yuan smiled more intensely, said coldly.

"Big, my lord, I, I know acupuncture, I know massage, I'm useful."

"It's okay if you don't kill me, I can swear that I won't stay in Fangfu for the rest of my life!"

The girl said tremblingly.

Looking at Fang Yuan pitifully, full of pleading.

The houses of the rich and powerful in ancient times were very large, and there were quite a few who never went out for a lifetime.

"What's your name?"

Fang Yuan asked curiously.

It felt like this girl was surprisingly calm and intelligent.

"Little girl Xu Changjin, please spare the little girl's life. The little girl must be grateful to Dade for serving you."

Xu Changjin begged with red eyes.

Xu Changjin?
Fang Yuan blinked, thinking of a historical figure.

It's just that Xu Changjin doesn't seem to have appeared in this era.
