Chapter 252

Li Chengqian, who entered the workshop, forgot everything.

When the afternoon was approaching, it was Gao Chunxing who came forward and said, "Your Highness, the envoy of Tuyuhun is asking to see you."

"When I got busy, I forgot about him." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Then you don't have to be so busy, go eat, it's about time."

After leaving the workshop, Li Chengqian simply washed up, and then asked Gao Chun's envoy who was about to call in Tuyuhun.

"Foreign ministers see Your Highness." Tuyuhun envoy bowed and saluted.

Li Chengqian nodded, and said: "I heard that you asked to see this king several times, is there something important?"

"Your Highness." The envoy of Tuyuhun said, "When the tripartite non-aggression agreement was signed in the past, His Highness said that he would return to the Tang Dynasty after he captured the source of Chishui."

Li Chengqian smiled, he knew that this was not his purpose.

Leaving aside the fact that Li Chengqian managed to gain a firm foothold here, let's say that Murong Shun planned to rebel, Li Chengqian helped Murong Fuyun, otherwise, Murong Fuyun would still have a headache.

Besides, Li Chengqian is not the only one who knows what kind of neighbor to choose.

For Murong Fuyun, Li Chengqian is a good neighbor.

"Okay, let's get down to business, I don't have time to talk about this with you here."

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, the envoy smiled, but he was not embarrassed: "I don't know why Your Highness detained my princess Tuyuhun?"

Sure enough, it was for Murong Wanqiu, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Isn't your envoy talking nonsense? When did this king detain the Princess of Tuyuhun?"

"Why does King Ming need to do this?" the envoy said, "Could it be that Murong Wanqiu is not at the Ming court?"

Nodding his head, Li Chengqian said: "She is indeed in the Ming court, that's right."

"Then King Ming still said that I didn't detain the princess of Tuyuhun?" the envoy said, "Could it be that King Ming still wants to say that he doesn't know his identity?"

Li Chengqian looked at the envoy puzzledly: "It's true that Murong Wanqiu is in my court of the Ming Dynasty, and I know her identity is true, but why should I detain her?" Then, Li Chengqian looked at Gao Chunxing, "You guys have detained her." ?”

"I'm wronged, Your Highness." Gao Chunxing shouted hastily, "Then Murong Wanqiu wants to stay in the Daming court, and she has not violated the laws of the Daming court. I can't drive her away, right? This is not in line with the Daming court. way of hospitality.”

"It's true." Nodding his head, Li Chengqian looked at Tuyuhun's emissary and said, "You heard it too, it's not that we detained your Tuyuhun princess, but your Tuyuhun princess himself wants to stay with us. Ming court."

"Ming Wang's words are really absurd. If His Royal Highness hadn't forced me, how could my Princess Tuyuhun have stayed in the Daming court?" the envoy said immediately.

However, Li Chengqian's expression changed, and he said angrily: "Then why did Murong Wanqiu stay in our Daming court? Does your envoy not know the reason? Do you really think my Daming court is easy to bully?
Gao Chunxing, ask someone to bring Murong Wanqiu here, this king wants to confront this Tuyuhun envoy face to face! "

Seeing Li Chengqian's resolute attitude, the emissary was also taken aback for a moment.

How did he know why Murong Wanqiu stayed in the Daming royal court?Of course, it's not that he doesn't know, but he really doesn't think that's the reason.

In his opinion, Murong Wanqiu's marriage to Dayan Mangjiebo is already a blessing in eight lifetimes.

This is a gift!

After Li Chengqian came back from Changsun Chong and the others, he guessed that it was Murong Wanqiu who wanted to stay in the Ming court, so he didn't panic at the moment.

Not long after, Murong Wanqiu was brought here.

"I've seen Your Highness." Still in the red dress, coupled with that delicate and pretty face, she was indeed somewhat heroic.

Li Chengqian pointed to the envoy, and said in a very angry tone: "He said that this king has detained you in the Daming court, so tell him yourself whether this king has detained you!

Is it restricting your freedom of life, or what, you tell him yourself.

Don't be afraid, just say what you think, in the imperial court of Ming Dynasty, it is not the turn of outsiders to act wildly! "

Murong Wanqiu was a little dazed at first, not understanding what Li Chengqian wanted to do, but after hearing what he said later, she immediately understood what he meant, turned around and said to the envoy, "Why did you slander His Highness King Ming and detain the Princess? Provoking war between the two countries?"

In front of Li Chengqian, she had never considered herself a princess, but facing Tuyuhun's emissary, she could still display her identity as a princess.

When the messenger heard what she said, he also hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the Princess, the humble minister was ordered by the Great Khan to come here to rescue the Princess."

"What is there to worry about, the Princess?" Murong Wanqiu said, "I was taken captive by King Daning before, but I was fortunate enough to be rescued by His Royal Highness King Ming. At that time, there was a scuffle, so I was invited by His Highness to come to the sun and the moon in desperation. The mountain takes refuge.

If you slander His Highness King Ming so much and cause the two countries to fight, what crime should you have? "

The messenger was stunned.

what's the situation?I'm here to save you, okay, is this your attitude?

"Your emissary must ask your princess to admit that this king has detained her? Could it be that Tuyuhun really wants to use this to start a war with my court?" Li Chengqian became angrier as he spoke, "Are you ready? ? Although my Ming court has only tens of thousands of soldiers, my Daming court has never lacked the courage to fight. If you are ready, then please come back and tell Murong Fuyun to prepare the army. Just one more fight!"

The envoy was stunned, and quickly said: "Your Highness, King Ming, don't misunderstand. Da Khan just asked the foreign minister to understand the situation of the princess. Since the princess has no worries, the foreign minister apologizes to His Highness for the outspokenness just now."

Hmph, Li Chengqian snorted coldly, waved his hands, and said: "As an envoy, my words are unrestrained, which almost caused the two countries to fight. If this king is Murong Fuyun, I will definitely kill him and I will not retreat!"

Regarding Li Chengqian's words, the envoy was not too worried. It was still the same sentence, a coward can't be an envoy.

However, he was indeed a little embarrassed at the moment, so he bowed his hands and bowed to leave.

Before leaving, he gave Murong Wanqiu a puzzled look.

However, Murong Wanqiu ignored him.

It doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, everyone has their own goals.

After the messenger left, Murong Wanqiu said: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"You are smart." Li Chengqian smiled.

Murong Wanqiu also knew that Li Chengqian had seen through her own cleverness, so she didn't hide it immediately, and said: "Your Highness made me laugh, little girl just hates the injustice of this world."

"Uh, what do you say?" Li Chengqian asked suspiciously.

Murong Wanqiu said: "The little girl is a princess in Tuyuhun, but she is reduced to someone else's confinement. Isn't this the injustice of the world?"

Ha ha.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Do you know that it is precisely because you are the princess that you can feel the injustice of the world in front of this king, but if you are not the princess, do you know what the result will be?"

"What is the result?" Murong Wanqiu asked curiously.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "If you are not the princess, you are probably pregnant with a second child right now! There is only one Murong Wanqiu in the world, but there are tens of thousands of Murong Wanqiu.

The only difference is that you can lament the injustice of the world here, but Murong Wanqiu doesn't even have the chance to lament.

Then tell me, compared with them, whose world is unfair?
Will they also say, why Murong Wanqiu can escape, is it because she is the princess?Isn't this the injustice of the world? "

Murong Wanqiu was stunned.

She had never thought about the problem from this angle, and now she heard Li Chengqian say this, and suddenly she was a little confused.

She can lament the injustice of the world here because her father strongly rejected Dayan Mangjiebo, because her father is Murong Xiaojun.

But can others reject Dayan Mangjiebo?

No, because not everyone has a father called Murong Xiaojun.

While Murong Wanqiu was meditating, the royal city was full of excitement.

Before Pusiruo and Li Qinjian informed those merchants about the one-year grain tax exemption, those merchants who smelled the business opportunity early in the morning began to transport grain from Datang.

The imperial court of Ming Dynasty has a large population. After a great war and years of snowstorms, the supply of grain must be in short supply. We just took this opportunity to consume some old grain from last year. After all, new grain will soon come out, and the grain depot needs to be emptied. After all, this year is another rare harvest year.

As for the Tang Dynasty, they turned a blind eye to the merchants bringing grain to the Daming court. After all, the Daming court's surname was Li, and the future surname was Tang.

Businessmen from Jingyang like Huang Song and the others even emptied their family's grain depots and pulled them here one by one.

There is no way, compared to Jingyang, Riyue Mountain is more suitable for business people like them, but these years the family has no capital, and apart from food, they really can't afford anything.

Coupled with Li Qinjian's suggestion early in the morning, they still couldn't grasp this opportunity.

"Having these grains solves our immediate needs, but it's still far from enough." Pusiro said.

The food shortage of tens of thousands of people cannot be solved by a few businessmen.

Li Qinjian said with a smile: "Pu Shangshu need not worry. Now that my court of the Ming Dynasty is booming, I think as long as we release the news that the food will be exempted, there will be a steady stream of food coming in. After this year, life will eventually come to an end." It's better."

"That's true." Pussyro smiled and said, "In this way, I will leave the matter of food to you, and I will go to Yi Yuanxi to discuss the matter of building a city on the grassland.

Daming Royal Court, it's really exciting. I also want to see where this Daming Royal Court will go in the end. "

Li Qinjian smiled, saluted and left.

Now, they are becoming more and more official.

When Pusiro found Yi Yuan Xi, Yi Yuan Xi was happily playing with a pulley in his hand.

This thing is a good one, save effort!
For their Ministry of Industry, it is even more of an artifact.

The two discussed it carefully, and finally decided that the two departments would escort the grain to the grassland tomorrow morning.

You can imagine how surprised those herders were when they escorted the grain to the grassland.

In these years, Murong Shun has never given food to everyone, and everyone has fought hard on their own.

While the two of them were discussing, Li Qinjian, as the servant of the household department, invited all the Tang merchants in Riyue Mountain to have a banquet at Changming Restaurant at [-]:[-] You.

No matter whether they are busy or not, no one can refuse Li Qinjian's invitation.

No way, he is now an official!

"Everyone, the official invited everyone to a banquet today, but there is good news to reveal." Li Qinjian put on a show as soon as he came up.

Cheng Zhenghao immediately asked: "Li Shilang, what good news is this?"

"From now on, the Imperial Court of the Ming Dynasty will exempt all taxes for grain transactions for a period of one year." Li Qinjian smiled, "Not only that, everything sold by Changming Commercial Bank can be converted into grain, and those who use grain to convert can be given priority. Ship."

As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that the royal court of Ming Dynasty was short of food.

It's normal to think about it, the former Daming royal court had no more than ten thousand people, so there was no shortage of food.

But now, there are 10 people in the royal court of Ming Dynasty, so it is only natural that they are short of food.

When Huang Song and the others heard this, their faces were overjoyed.

It's a good feeling.

"Can't copper coins buy paper anymore?" Someone asked immediately, his family didn't have that much food.

Li Qinjian said: "You misunderstood, let me tell you the truth, the Ming court is short of food now. I also know that many people have already guessed it, and even have some careful thoughts, but I still want to advise everyone, don't worry about it." What kind of crooked thoughts do you want to move.

If you want to take advantage of my Daming Royal Court's crisis to make money for the country, then you have to be mentally prepared to be retaliated by my Daming Royal Court.

Of course, it is not possible to take by force, and things in the business field must naturally be resolved in the business field.

But everyone, don't forget that my highness started his business by turning his hands into clouds and raining his hands in the business field. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. "

"Li Shilang was joking." Huang Song said with a smile on his face, "Both left and right are profitable business, and everyone can understand that."

Li Qinjian still said coldly: "It's best to be like this. By the way, I'll let you know that the Ming court will sell some new things soon. If you want to make money, you should do it sooner." Well prepared.

One thing, you can rest assured that the things sold by the Daming Royal Court will not be bad, and the profit is estimated to be higher than that of paper. "

Li Qinjian was originally a businessman, so he naturally knows this well.

If you want everyone to actively participate, if you have a big stick, you must also have sweet dates.

"Li Shilang." Someone asked hastily, "I don't know what it will be this time?"

"Is this something you should inquire about?" Li Qinjian said with his eyes wide open, "This is a secret of my court of the Ming Dynasty, how can you inquire about it at will? When it comes to sale, I will naturally tell you all.

Besides, when did the items sold by the Daming Royal Court be worse? "

Another asked: "When will it be sold?"

They are not worried about the things produced by the Ming court. Indeed, as Li Qinjian said, the things produced by the Daming court are really good!
"In a month or two." Li Qinjian said, "I don't dare to draw conclusions about the specific time. I heard that the business is relatively large. Your Highness wants to wait and see. If you want to get a share of it, It’s better to prepare early.”

What he said was actually nonsense, and his purpose was just to make them prepare more money and food.

However, Daming Royal Court does have new products to be launched, but the time is not fixed.

When everyone heard it, they were also moved.

When the paper was sold before, it was because of insufficient preparation that the Yuchi family and the Wei family took advantage.

This time, everyone will not make that mistake again.

After the banquet was over, Li Qinjian returned to his house in the city proudly.

In this city, he also has a house.

Sometimes, when they were busy in the city until midnight, the city gates to go back had already been closed, so these officials all bought houses in the city.

But not long after sitting down, someone came to report that the envoy from the Western Turks had arrived again.

There was no other way, Li Qinjian had no choice but to get up and meet guests in the lobby.

Now, the matter of the Western Turkic envoy has not been resolved.

"Li Shilang, please forgive me for visiting late at night." The messenger said very politely.

Li Qinjian waved his hands and said, "Your envoy is being polite."

"The thing about the crossbow?"

Regarding the purpose of this guy, Li Qinjian was like a mirror in his heart. Hearing the words, he said in embarrassment: "The envoy's request, I have also reported to His Highness. Your Highness is willing to sell some Liannu because of your country's difficulties. For your country, but is the price too low?
Presumably your envoy also knows that this official is from a merchant background, we are talking about business, not to mention how much money you make, but at least we can't let us lose money, right?

In Chang'an, a better bow and arrow has to be counted, and you can pay more than 800 Wen for a pair of crossbows. This price is really unacceptable. "

"That's what Li Shilang means?" the messenger asked.

Although it is inappropriate for Li Qinjian to compare Changan's bows and arrows, the price of more than 800 Wen is indeed a little less, and he knows this himself.

Li Qinjian said: "We make a pair of crossbows, and all the costs add up to two. You don't need a penny more, but you can't give me a penny less. In short, we can't let us lose money, right?

Of course, we are friendly countries, and we can give an extra [-] crossbow bolts for a pair of crossbows. This is the friendship between the two countries. "

"Yiguaner?" The envoy thought for a while and said, "Can't it be less?"

"This is the cost price. When your envoy goes back, you can ask Datang. When we sold it to them, it has always been converted to five." Li Qinjian said, "The reason why this time it was sold cheaply to your country , I still see that the envoys from your country came from afar and gave us some horses, cattle and sheep.

Your Highness thought that the diplomatic relations between the two countries are not easy, so this is sold to you.

Look at Tubo and Tuyuhun, if they open their mouths, will we sell them?impossible. "

Just doing business, the envoy on the prairie is no match for Li Qinjian. After a bit of fooling around, the envoy gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, then do as Li Shilang said. It's always the same. We use cattle and sheep to convert it." ,feasible?"

"No problem." Li Qinjian said with a smile, "Presumably your envoy also knows that the royal court of the Ming Dynasty is short of food. On the grassland, cattle and sheep are also considered food. Recently, the royal court of the Ming Dynasty has just issued a policy. , Grain transactions are tax-free, so your country can save about [-]%."

"Li Shilang is an honest man." The envoy was taken aback, he didn't know the news yet.

But Li Qinjian said with a smile: "My court of the Ming Dynasty always treats people with sincerity when doing business."
