Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

Chapter 127 The Horse Manure Emperor Li Shimin

Li Shimin looked at Cui Yuan with a very serious expression, as if he was studying in depth.

"Why do you look at me like that?"

Cui Yuan asked doubtfully: "First of all, let me state that I don't have the habit of cutting off my sleeves!"

"What's this habit of cutting off sleeves?"

Li Shimin said angrily: "I'm looking at you because I want to know if you have three heads and six arms!"

"With Zhao Gao and Hu Hai inside, and outside with the Xiongnu Da Yue, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, the Qin Dynasty's dilemma is almost unsolvable, and yet you can actually successfully change its fate against the will of heaven."

If Liu Bang hadn't told it and had seen part of the truth with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

To change the fate of a dynasty against the will of heaven!Is this the power that gods have?

Moreover, during this process, Cui Yuan used many methods that he thought he could try, such as tying stones to record merit.

Unfortunately, Datang did not have a newspaper, so the effect of this method would be greatly reduced.

But after all, it still has some effect, and it can make these big families vomit blood!

The dilemma that has been weighing on Li Shimin's shoulders can finally be lifted.

However, the most important step still requires Zulong's personal help.

"Your Majesty Zulong, please lend the sweet potatoes to help Datang tide over the difficulties!"

Liu Bang spoke out, and he also helped Li Shimin request food.

Li Shimin looked over hopefully.

Ying Zheng glanced at the two of them and shook his head slowly: "No."

No?

The two people who got this answer were subconsciously stunned!
It turned out to be rejected!

"Why not? I will definitely return it to His Majesty Zulong in the future."

Li Shimin was anxious. He came full of hope, but he didn't come here to get such a result!
"why not?"

Ying Zheng repeated Li Shimin's question with a helpless tone: "Emperor Tang! Since you asked me this way, why don't you ask this question to those five surnames and seven hopes who are oppressing the people of the Tang Dynasty?"

"You told Liu Bang before that there is actually no shortage of food in the Tang Dynasty now, but all the food is controlled by aristocratic families and you, as the emperor, cannot mobilize it."

"As long as one of them is willing to donate food, this crisis will be solved."

"I am not a heartless person. If Emperor Tang and Datang are really in dire straits and have no way to come up with any food, then there is no harm in me saving Datang."

"But... you are not!"

In the end, Ying Zheng's tone was very serious, almost a lesson.

After Li Shimin heard this, he was so ashamed that his neck turned red.

He understood what His Majesty Zulong meant, that he was too useless!
There is clearly food in the Tang Dynasty, in the granaries of major aristocratic families, so why not attack them?

Are you still not the emperor?

"How about it?"

Ying Zheng continued: "What I said makes sense."

In fact, besides what Li Shimin thought, there was another reason in his mind.

Just to see how this emperor, whom Cui Yuan called the wise ruler of the world, would solve this dilemma without his own help.

He looked at Li Shimin with an inexplicable meaning, and was ready to eat melon.

The latter was stunned for a moment and had not yet reacted.

But Liu Bang understood the meaning and said with a smile: "Emperor Tang, why don't you ask Cui Shenxian?"

"Listen to his opinion from the future. How did the Tang Dynasty survive this natural disaster?"

Yup!

I still have this solution!
Li Shimin came to his senses and thanked Liu Bang very much.

Without his reminder, I would have been confused for several days.

Although His Majesty Zulong is unwilling to help him, his future self should still be able to survive this crisis.

Ask Cui Yuan and you will know this method, which will save you a lot of thinking!

Cui Yuan: "..."

Brother Zheng, do you really want to eat melon?
Feeling Li Er's expectant gaze, he did not refuse, but still wanted Li Er to be mentally prepared.

"You did succeed in this crisis in the future, but the method you used was very indecent and tasteless. Are you sure you want to listen?"

Cui Yuan said it very seriously.

Very indecent and tasteless?
Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat.

What on earth did my future self do that even people like Cui Shenxian would comment on it as being very indecent?

Still has a taste?

"Cui Shenxian, please speak directly." Li Shimin asked seriously.

"Just selling horse manure."

Cui Yuan rolled his eyes and replied: "And he still sells a huge amount of horse manure."

Fortunately, it's not meal time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hold on.

So tasty!
But even so, Li Shimin, Liu Bang, and even Ying Zheng were all shocked by this outrageous method!
Everyone's eyes widened, full of astonishment!

No wonder Cui Yuan's evaluation is very indecent and tasteless!
The dignified Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually sold horse dung to provide disaster relief. This is too abstract!
"Haha! You...haha! Brother Li."

Liu Bang covered his mouth, suppressed a smile, and patted Li Shimin on the shoulder with one hand: "You can endure what others cannot tolerate, and do great things without bending the small details. You are worthy of the name of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

Ying Zheng also gave him a thumbs up while suppressing his laughter!
"you!"

Li Shimin's whole body was about to burst!
If possible, he even wants to go back to Datang immediately, and does not want to stay here at all!

Oh my God!What kind of torture is this!

"I...how can I sell horse dung?" Li Shimin's voice was in his pocket.

"You did sell it, and later generations gave you the title of Horse Manure Emperor."

"puff!"

Ignoring Li Er who collapsed to the point of vomiting blood, Cui Yuan chuckled and continued to tell this history slowly.

"According to records from later generations, in the early years of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty, whose treasury was empty, encountered a severe drought that had never happened in a century, which completely disrupted the position of you and many courtiers."

"This natural disaster is extremely violent. Many places have fallen into a famine. The victims have been displaced and starved to death everywhere. The entire society has become unstable."

"You tried every means to relieve the disaster, either by issuing edicts to punish yourself, or by submitting to the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, but unfortunately the results were very weak."

"At this time, the Shaofu Supervisor Pei Guishu offered a good idea: "In order to raise funds for disaster relief, the horse manure in the lobby, government and army can be collected and sold as fertilizer. ""

Li Shimin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and covered his eyes: "So I started selling horse dung?"

"Yes!"

Cui Yuan affirmed: "Although this method is against the etiquette of the king, you still hold your nose and admit it. After all, there is no other better way."

"And the subsequent development was surprisingly good. The imperial court took the lead in selling horse dung, which not only quickly raised a large amount of money for disaster relief, but also led the people to start a vigorous horse dung movement."

"This suddenly created many new jobs related to it, and the problem of dealing with disaster victims has been greatly alleviated."

"It even scared away the Turks who wanted to take advantage of the continuous natural disasters in the Tang Dynasty to plunder southward."

"When they saw that there were so many horse dung for sale in the Tang Dynasty, they all thought that there was no natural disaster in the Tang Dynasty. Instead, they had strong troops and strong horses, and they were setting up a trap to lure them into being fooled." "So they withdrew their troops one after another and did not dare to invade the Tang Dynasty again."

"Although the horse manure trade was indecent, it bought valuable development time for Datang."

"Being able to put down your body in such a dangerous situation and seek happiness for the people, with this character alone, Emperor Tang, you are enough to surpass 90.00% of the emperors in China."

Cui Yuan gave Li Shimin a very high evaluation, just saying that his holy name was unparalleled.

However, Li Shimin was not happy at all. If possible, he would rather not have this holy name!
As long as he thought that in future generations, when people mention him, they will say "horse dung emperor", and he feels like he is about to burst!
"Cui Shenxian, you must help me!"

Li Shimin couldn't hold back after pursuing it and begged Cui Yuan.

He really doesn't want to use this method to survive the natural disaster. It's really embarrassing!
If His Majesty doesn't help him, the only one who can help him now is Cui Yuan.

Cui Yuan chuckled: "There is nothing you can do if you beg me! I am your Majesty's minister."

"Your Majesty doesn't give me orders. If I go to the Tang Dynasty to help you, wouldn't I be a criminal who betrayed the Qin Dynasty?"

"One minister cannot serve two monarchs!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin had no reaction, but Ying Zheng's face immediately stiffened.

He understood that this was the young man's revenge for his attitude of blaming him and wanting to take advantage of him.

As for being so narrow-minded?

Ying Zheng murmured in his heart, but still nodded: "Go ahead, go ahead. It's impossible for me to give you sweet potato. You can arrange other things as you like."

"As long as we can help Datang survive this crisis, we can do anything."

"Wei!" Cui Yuan agreed readily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Cui Shenxian!" Li Shimin was overjoyed!

Although we can't get food help directly, with Cui Shenxian taking action, the effect will probably not be bad!
"Don't thank me so quickly."

The corners of Ying Zheng's lips raised: "Great Qin will not help your Tang Dynasty in vain. When the natural disaster accepts it, as a condition, you must promise me something."

"Then find for me all the envoys sent to Tang Dynasty from Japan! And hand them over to me."

Li Shimin nodded quickly: "This is absolutely no problem. This junior will definitely exceed the quota given by His Majesty Zulong!"

Aren't they just some envoys sent to Tang Dynasty?Catching them will be easy.

As for what these envoys to the Tang Dynasty would think, Li Shimin said he didn't care at all!

Ying Zheng nodded: "In that case, let's set off."

"I'm busy with the imperial examinations recently, so I won't go with you."

"it is good!"

"Respect!"

Li Shimin and Liu Bang readily agreed, and soon left with Cui Yuan, passing through the Light Gate and returning to the Tang Dynasty.

……

"Your Majesty, you are finally back!"

"Is there any danger on that side?"

"Is it really Da Qin?"

As soon as Li Shimin came back, many famous Zhenguan officials who followed him came forward to ask questions.

Some were concerned about Li Shimin's safety, while others were curious about the situation in Da Qin.

At first, Li Shimin still had the patience to answer one by one. After all, the harvest this time was not bad, and he brought Immortal Cui Yuan to Datang.

But after seeing the figure of Pei Guishu, the eunuch of the Young Mansion, his face turned dark!

"Pei Jishu, come here."

"?Your Majesty, what can I do?"

"I'm going to beat you to death!"

Li Shimin suddenly became furious. He stepped forward and pushed Pei Jishu to him, sat on him, and fired madly at his face.

boom!boom!
"Ahhh!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Many ministers were shocked and did not understand why His Majesty suddenly started beating people.

Only Cui Yuan and Liu Bang looked at this scene with uncontrollable smiles on their faces!
Obviously, Li Shimin wanted to repay Pei Bishu for his contribution in advance!

It was because of his advice that Li Shimin would be known as the Horse Dung Emperor in later generations, which has been passed down through the ages.

However, Li Shimin was still rational and understood that the reason why Pei Guishu would offer this strategy in the future was for the good of Datang, and it indeed solved the dilemma for Datang.

So after four or five punches, and the anger slowly dissipated, he let Pei Guishu go, who had turned into a panda-eyed man.

"Humph!"

"If you dare to do it again, I will blow your head off!"

Pei Jishu burst into tears: "???"

No, I provoked someone!

Ignoring Pei Bishu who was about to cry, Li Shimin looked at the ministers again and introduced Cui Yuan to them: "Auxiliary machine, Xuanling, Keming... you all come here."

"This is Cui Shenxian from two thousand... uh... more than 1000 years later. He is also one of the Nine Qings of Great Qin - Cui Yuan!"

"I have given him full authority to help Datang survive this crisis!"

"As long as it's about disaster relief, you must obey his arrangements."

Give him full power? !

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others were all shocked!
Since the other side of the door is the Qin Dynasty, why didn't the First Emperor directly lend food to the Tang Dynasty for disaster relief, but instead sent a so-called Cui Shenxian?
Isn't this superfluous?

"I know what you are thinking, but there are some reasons that are difficult to explain, so don't ask."

"In short, Cui Shenxian has the ability to solve Datang's problems."

Li Shimin stopped the curious people, and it was difficult for them to continue asking.

However, there are still doubts about Cui Yuan.

After all, he is really too young.

"Your name is Cui Yuan, right?"

Li Junxian came over and frowned at the handsome and somewhat outrageous young man in front of him.

"Although His Majesty trusts you, this matter is related to the life and death of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty. How can you survive this crisis?"

Hearing this, other courtiers also looked at Cui Yuan.

They also wanted to know how Cui Yuan would survive the disaster without being able to obtain food from Daqing.

"It's simple."

Facing the confused gazes of everyone, Cui Yuan raised a finger and smiled: "It is through commercial means to get food back from many aristocratic families through trade."

Although the horse manure trading strategy is very inelegant, I have to admit that it is indeed a very useful method.

Not only did it solve the natural disaster crisis in the Tang Dynasty, it also frightened the Turks.

Since Li Shimin was unwilling to sell horse dung and was called the Horse Manure Emperor by later generations, then Cui Yuan could completely sell other things!

It just so happens that he has recently come up with a very interesting new thing in Da Qin, and he can try it here in Da Tang first!
