This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

"I'm not sure about this, but His Royal Highness King Ming did explain so." Yang Dalang said with a smile upon hearing this.

Some words, just click and stop.

Before he set off, Li Chengqian actually explained that businessmen are the key to conquering the five tribes of Tianzhu in the future.

After all, the journey is too far away, and if all supplies are sent by Guochao, the pressure on Daming is still not small.

If there are a large number of caravans traveling together, the pressure will be much less.

So in the future, a group of giant merchants may emerge in Ming Dynasty.

This is also the reason why Li Chengqian vigorously supports private merchants.

Hearing this, Mangbo Jiesunbo fell into deep thought. He didn't quite understand what Li Chengqian meant, or rather, he really didn't know much about conquest.

After a moment of silence, Mangbo Jiesunbo still said: "That's fine, I'll arrange it now, and I have to trouble shopkeeper Yang to stay here for two more days."

"Your Highness, you are welcome." Shopkeeper Yang said with a smile, "We have just arrived on the plateau, and His Highness also told us to slow down and gradually adapt to the climate of this plateau. It is not troublesome, and this is the first time I have been on this plateau. Come, you can have a taste of these logical customs."

After chatting for a few more words, the two left.

Of course, Mangpo Jiesunbo was very polite to Yang Dalang.

Let people entertain you all the time.

As for himself, he invited Da Buqu over.

Although there is a world of difference between Dabu Qu and his identities, but no matter what, this Dabu Qu followed Li Chengqian earlier than him, and in some respects, he really knew Li Chengqian better than him.

As soon as Dabuqu arrived, after exchanging a few pleasantries, Mangpo Jiesunbo went straight to the point and said, "That's what happened..."

Immediately, Mangpo Jiesunbo introduced the previous incident, and then asked, "From the point of view of General Dabu, what is the meaning of His Highness's move?
The truth is that I am stupid, and I really didn't want to understand the key to this.

If it is said that His Highness's move is to find out the reality of Wubu Tianzhu, I can understand this, but if it is just that, do we need so many caravans?

Are you not afraid of scaring the snake? "

Hearing this, Dabu Qu smiled.

He actually knew why.

There is a saying that it is easy for someone to be an official in the court.

He falls within this range.

"Please ask General Dabu to clear up your doubts." Seeing Dabuqu's appearance, Mangbo Jiesunbo bowed immediately.

Seeing this, Dabu Qu got up quickly, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are being polite, now Your Highness is also my courtier of Daming, so it doesn't hurt to talk to His Highness.

The reason why His Royal Highness King Ming made such an arrangement this time was actually for the subsequent conquest of the five tribes of Tianzhu.

Over the years, I, Ming, have never fought unprepared battles, and His Highness must be aware of this. "

Mangpo Jesunbo nodded immediately, not only did he know this, but he was also the victim of it.

But what does this have to do with caravans?

Dabu Qu saw the doubt in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it is also because the conquest of the five tribes of Tianzhu is too far away, so His Highness King Ming is preparing for it.

When the war really started, these caravans would play a big role.

At that time, they will still need to transport food supplies and the like to the front line. Did the general understand that His Highness said so?
In the future, a large number of wealthy businessmen will be born in Daming, and everyone who seizes the opportunity will make a lot of money under this huge wind.

It's just that, His Highness has specifically explained that this time, he will vigorously support private merchants, so..."

Having said that, Dabu Qu didn't say much more.

When Mangpo Jiesunbo heard the words, he became clear in an instant, he thought it through, and he also figured it out.

At the moment, he was also surprised.

When you don't understand, you really don't understand.

But when I really understood the deep meaning of this, my whole face suddenly realized.

"Thank you, General Dabu, for clarifying the confusion." Immediately, Mangbo Jiesunbo stood up and bowed again.

Dabu Qu got up quickly and said, "Your Highness, you are welcome."

Speaking of which, Mangpo Jesunbo is really too polite.

As the former king of Su Pi, this waist can be bent as long as it is said.

Of course, it was also because of him that Dabu Qu knew that this was not a good thing.

It is said that one who can bend and stretch is a man.

But it's really dangerous to say that such a person is dangerous.

God knows if every time they bend down, they will be able to straighten their backs straighter in the future?

But after Dabuqu left, Mangpo Jiesunbo quickly summoned his confidants.

After everyone arrived, Mangbo Jiesunbo immediately said: "In the next few days, entertain Yang Dalang and his party first."

Hearing his words, all the confidants were also taken aback.

No, a businessman, can he be so caring?

Mangpo Jiesunbo didn't care about their attitudes, and continued: "Then, select suitable people from the clan and organize a caravan.

There is a saying earlier, no matter the relationship, choose those who have business experience in the clan..."

Mangpo Jasunbo talked for a long time.

He didn't forget Dabuqu's words.

After explaining this, he continued, "Finally, we all go back and prepare for the caravan to wipe out the remnants of Tubo in one fell swoop.

May as well tell you that the opportunity we have been waiting for may really come!
They all cheered up.

In the future, if the opportunity comes and we fail to grasp it, it will be regrettable! "

Hearing his words, everyone was taken aback for a moment, but afterward, there were bursts of excitement and excitement.

……

The line of sight returned to Riyue Mountain.

Li Chengqian looked at the Goguryeo mission with a smile on his face.

No matter what people say, he just smiles without saying a word.

This is also impossible.

He could not avoid seeing the letter of credence written by King Rongliu himself.

But he was just seeing him.

As far as he is concerned, not to mention the Eastern Conquest of Goguryeo, even if the Tang Dynasty crossed the sea to fight the Japanese country, he would support it with both hands.

This is the same reason that Datang supported him to win the Western Regions.

In this way, how many things can they save after they conquer each other in the future?
For Tang Ming, he was happy to see the results.

Of course, this is why the monarchs of the Tang and Ming Dynasties are a pair of father and son.

After all, the meat rotted in a pot after all.

"King Rongliu is too polite." After the Goguryeo envoy babbled, Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Wang Shangshu, arrange a dinner. Today, this king will not return home until drunk with the Goguryeo envoy. "

Li Chengqian is not stingy about face-saving projects.

As for the rest, fuck off.

After Wang Xuance brought the group of missions out, Li Chengqian looked at Li Qinjian from the household department, and immediately asked, "Before Gao Chunxing they accumulated a lot of cotton. I let the household department process it into cotton clothes. Is it effective?"

Speaking of this, Li Qinjian was overjoyed immediately, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, that cotton is really a good thing. After being processed into cotton clothes, the effect of keeping out the cold is much stronger."

At that time, he didn't take it seriously, after all, it was just clothes, and the fancy dress was not as pleasing to the eye as his official uniform.

But Li Qinjian was so excited when it was done.

In winter, if you have such a cotton coat, don't be too comfortable on that day, okay?

"It's done?" Li Chengqian was also a little surprised. He just gave a rough idea and handed it over to the Ministry of Households to do it. He didn't pay much attention to it in the follow-up.

Li Qinjian immediately nodded and said: "It's done, and there are already tens of thousands of pieces in the warehouse, but I don't know when His Highness will sell them."

Speaking of this, Li Qinjian had a smile on his face, "This padded coat is indeed for the benefit of the people of our Ming Dynasty."

"Spring is about to begin, and this year has already passed, so let's forget about the sale." Li Chengqian laughed and said, "Well, you inform Lu Zhengqing that this batch of cotton clothes, I will sell all of them to Datang."

"Sell to Datang?" Li Qinjian was taken aback when he heard the words, but he understood immediately.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is conquering Goguryeo, that ghostly place can freeze people to death in the spring. Obviously, His Highness is planning to support the Tang Dynasty to send troops to Goguryeo.

"My minister will make arrangements now." After finishing speaking, Li Qinjian bowed and left.

After he left, Li Chengqian also smiled.

There is actually no multiple-choice question between Datang and Goguryeo, and there is nothing to choose.

He believed that with the blessing of this batch of cotton clothes, the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Goguryeo would only go more smoothly.

Of course, he did this not only to support the Tang Dynasty in sending troops to Goguryeo, but more importantly, he needed to leave an impression on the officials of the Tang Dynasty.

This impression is nothing more than three words, knowing the general.

After Lu Zhengqing listened to Li Qinjian's words, he didn't react for a moment. After he realized it, he immediately asked Li Qinjian to take him to see the quality of the cotton coat.

Although Li Qinjian has clearly explained its efficacy.

But if he didn't try it on his body, he was still a little worried.

Immediately, the two came to the warehouse where the cotton clothes were stored.

Looking at the densely packed cotton clothes in the warehouse, Lu Zhengqing made one and put it on without saying a word.

First, I tried to stretch the hands and feet behind the upper body. After all, it is for soldiers. If the hands and feet cannot be stretched when worn on the body, it is not for warmth, but for death.

"This batch of cotton-padded clothes was made for the soldiers at the beginning." Seeing him like this, Li Qinjian laughed, "So the upper body and the back will not affect the activities of the soldiers at all."

After so many years of development, Daming's industry has already established a fairly mature operating model.

When the cotton was delivered, Li Chengqian only explained that it was used to keep out the cold.

Li Qinjian gathered many technical talents together to discuss for a long time, and only then did the cotton-padded clothes of today come into being.

Of course, they also consulted Li Chengqian during the period, and Li Chengqian also gave them some ideas.

But in the final analysis, they themselves are also very thoughtful in this regard.

At this moment, Lu Zhengqing was surprised, and immediately smiled and said: "I want it, I want it all. I don't know when Li Shangshu can deliver it."

"Tonight." As for the price, Li Qinjian didn't mention it, and Lu Zhengqing didn't ask either.

That night, truckloads of cotton-padded clothes were loaded and transported to Chang'an.

……

A few days later, when Wang Dequan received the news in Chang'an, he immediately understood what Li Chengqian meant, and he had been looking forward to the arrival of these cotton-padded clothes.

At the same time, he also received a secret letter from Li Chengqian.

A few days later, when Wang Dequan was sure that the batch of cotton-padded clothes would arrive in Chang'an this evening, Wang Dequan went straight to the Ministry of Rites again, begging to see Li Er.

The next day, early in the morning.

Wang Dequan waited outside the palace with two attendants carrying a big box.

Seeing this, all the ministers were also curious.

The frequency of this old boy asking to see His Majesty has been getting higher and higher recently.

But they can also see that recently, Da Ming's actions have become more and more frequent.

When the court meeting began, Wang Dequan walked behind the crowd.

When the Great Tang held a court meeting, as a foreign minister, he could only wait outside.

You can't let him be an outsider to meddle in the court meeting of the Tang Dynasty, right?
It wasn't until the end of the court meeting that he heard the servant shouting.

"Xuan, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty entered the palace."

Hearing this, Wang Dequan walked in immediately.

And behind him, there were two guards from the palace who helped carry the big box in.

Seeing this, Li Er smiled and said, "I don't know what's important for your envoy to enter the palace today?"

After all, Li Er looked curiously at the big box behind Wang De's body.

Hearing this, Wang Dequan also smiled and said: "Returning to the words of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, today, the foreign ministers brought good things to the soldiers of the Great Tang Dynasty.

Of course, envoy Lu of Datang had already reached this deal. "

Li Er smiled and said: "So, the box behind your envoy is filled with the legendary cotton padded coat?"

Of course he knew the news.

Lu Zhengqing sent someone to deliver the letter back on the same day.

"Exactly." After saying that, Wang Dequan got up and opened the box.

When everyone saw this, they also looked over.

They had never heard of this padded coat.

And Wang Dequan immediately took out a cotton coat and introduced it to everyone.

After listening to his introduction, everyone was shocked.

People like Hou Junji even stepped forward, picked it up and prepared to try it on, but Wang Dequan laughed and said, "Chen Guogong, this is an underwear..."

"What about the inner clothes?" After finishing speaking, the old man Hou Junji immediately took off his official clothes in the hall, that's not particular at all!

When Li Er saw this scene, he didn't stop him, not even the courtesy officer said anything.

Although it is indeed out of style, everyone wants to know whether this padded coat is as magical as Wang Dequan said.

If this is the case, then the value of this padded coat will be great, especially for the current Datang.

It's just that this effect can't be shown so quickly. Although others have been urging, Hou Junji still said cautiously: "It's really warm, and it won't affect the dancing of the spear."

As he said that, Hou Junji also made a few movements of raising his hands and kicking his legs.

Everyone was surprised when they heard the words.

After a while, Hou Junji said pleasantly, "It's really warm!"

At this moment, he finally said with certainty, "Your Majesty, with this padded coat, it will be a great surprise for the soldiers who conquered Goguryeo!"

Not only him, everyone saw this.

That's why they tolerated Hou Junji's disrespect.

Now that Datang has mobilized troops, of course it is hoped that this battle will have a result.

And this padded coat is undoubtedly a timely help.

Goguryeo is still a world of ice and snow these days.

And once this battle is fought, who knows when it will last?
Therefore, with this batch of cotton-padded clothes, Datang's odds of winning are at least a few percent higher.

Li Er was also overjoyed when he heard the words.

Although Lu Zhengqing also said it, but he didn't witness it with his own eyes, so he still had some doubts.

But now, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Gao Ming is still my Tang prince after all, and in this case, he is still very general."

For this, Li Er had no choice but to express his praise.

Even if he didn't want to, all the officials would think so.

When the ministers heard the words, they also nodded one after another.

Indeed, in this matter, Li Chengqian did it generously.

At least when it comes to right and wrong, Li Chengqian's position is very firm.

For many people, this is a good thing.

Immediately, Li Er smiled and said, "When Lu Zhengqing sent a letter earlier, he said that the price of these cotton coats has not yet been set, and the envoy just needs to discuss with the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Wen Shangshu, don't bargain with Daming this time. "

Wen Yanbo also said with a smile when he heard the words: "I understand."

It was indeed a surprise to them that Li Chengqian was able to assist Datang at this juncture.

And this also made them gradually realize that their own people are still different, even if they are thousands of miles away, they still care about Datang after all.

This is what the prince of the Tang Dynasty should do.

When Wang Dequan heard the words, he said with a smile: "To His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. My Highness had a letter before saying that the sale of the cotton-padded clothes to the Tang Dynasty does not need to be so troublesome.

Can all be counted as gold coupons? "

Voucher?

Everyone was stunned.

Of course they know what a golden coupon is.

It was the voucher issued collectively by the Daming Company, but after so many years, the code had already been canceled by them.

Although it was not issued by the Ming court, everyone knew that it was actually the legal tender of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be settled in Daming's currency, which makes everyone a little confused.

Could it be that Li Chengqian wanted to take this opportunity to completely push away Daming's gold coupons?

"But my household department doesn't have so many gold certificates." Wen Yanbo immediately frowned.

If we say that at the beginning, they were still very pleasantly surprised, but when they heard the word "golden coupon", everyone fell silent.

Immediately, Li Er also looked at Wang Dequan.

But Wang Dequan said with a smile: "Wen Shangshu misunderstood, this time Datang is going on an expedition, if he wants to purchase from Datang, it will naturally increase the pressure on Datang.

But if it is given away for free, then the interests of my Daming craftsmen will not be guaranteed.

That's why His Highness came up with the idea of ​​using gold coupons to convert.

Of course, we also know that the Datang Household Department is determined not to have so many gold coupons, but it did not say that the settlement will be made soon.

Regardless of the period, Datang can settle slowly.

Moreover, in the future, every time Datang makes an order with me, Daming, [-]% of the order amount will be returned to Datang in the form of gold coupons.

After a long time, it will naturally come together.

In this way, Datang does not need to spend too much, and my Highness has an explanation for my craftsmen in Daming, so why can't it be called a win-win situation? "

Hearing his words, everyone was overjoyed again.

If we really want to follow what Wang Dequan said, wouldn't it mean that these cotton-padded coats were actually costless?

It’s not that Daming’s rebate coupons have never happened before, but since the code word was officially removed, Daming has never done this. Now that Daming is issuing rebate coupons again, everyone is a little uncertain about its purpose.

At the moment, everyone was puzzled.

What does Li Chengqian want to do?
Next time, ask for a monthly pass! ! ! ! !
She got up with a whoosh and stuffed a piece of durian into my mouth.

Omg!
That taste, like eating shit, made me retch at that time.

In the end, the girl was still laughing and asked me if I had it. While asking, she also said, I will raise it when I am born.

I was so angry that I wanted to spit on her face at that time, this girl.

But when she saw my expression, she didn't feel distressed at all, she smiled impudently from the side.

Make me angry.

But at that time, I didn't have the time to clean her up, just kept rinsing my mouth.

For those who are not used to eating durian, the taste is really too strong.

I can't stand it.

And this girl stood beside me and watched me rinse my mouth while eating durian.

Didn't care that it was in the bathroom.

After I came out, that girl kept coming up to me, teasing me, and from time to time she brought her mouth closer to sneak attack.

Good guy, such a toss makes me want to throw up.

But she was happy all night.

After tossing and tossing until midnight, she lost all energy and went back to sleep. The next day when we went to have breakfast, she asked me if the durian was delicious...

God, who knows how I got through last night.

But I'm not easy to mess with.

If you want to be crazy, then be crazy
