Taking the warehouse back to Datang, Li Erle felt numb

Chapter 19 Li Shimin: I bought the knife. Can Huazi give me two?

"On top of Jingyanggang, there is a white tiger with three glaring eyes, which is extremely ferocious."

The story of Wu Song drunkenly went to Jingyanggang to hunt tigers.

The three of them suddenly became excited and listened involuntarily.

"After Wu Song's eldest brother Wu Dalang was poisoned by Pan Jinlian, it was the time for mourning. Wu Song returned home and found that his brother suddenly died of illness, and he was in great pain."

"However, at this time, the autopsy in the city quietly told him something unknown. In fact, Wu Dalang did not die of illness, but was poisoned."

"And then?"

Cheng Huailiang asked with excitement on his face.

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes, and then said calmly: "If you want to know what happened next time, let's listen to the explanation next time!"

"You're doing it again!"

Cheng Huailiang suddenly looked stunned and pointed at Lin Heng with a look of displeasure on his face: "Every time you tell a story, can you finish the story?"

Lin Heng waved his hand: "I am a businessman. I tell stories to sell my knives. I don't tell stories for the sake of telling stories."

This was so reasonable that the three of them didn’t know how to refute it for a while.
I have to say that Lin Heng's story was indeed told very well, and even Li Shimin was attracted to it.

Li Shimin was a little curious, how could a man as strong as Wu Song avenge his brother?How was this slut dealt with later?
Then Li Shimin held the Tang Dao in his hand and said with emotion: "So this is the saber Wu Song once used! It is really a magic weapon!"

Cheng Yaojin on the side showed disdain, and then said: "Mr. Li, this sword is definitely not the sword used by Wu Song. Looking at the brand-new blade, no matter how well maintained it is, it cannot be maintained like this!"

"Besides, have we heard of Wu Song in all these years? At least if we look back 500 years, there is no such person as Wu Song! Even the Lu Zhishen whom we talked about before!"

"So, this story must be a fabrication!"

Duke Lu Guo said this, so Lin Heng certainly couldn't refute it. What if someone got anxious and came over to chop him?

"Let it be whatever Lord Lu Guo says."

Lin Heng looked helpless, as if he was being oppressed.

Li Shimin smiled and patted Cheng Yaojin on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter, the knife is a good knife, and the story is a good story."

"I think His Majesty will also like these stories, and I will tell them to him."

"However, I am a little curious. It was you who forged the sword, and it was really the one used by Wu Song."

Lin Heng must not dare to admit it. After all, he is in front of Duke Lu and the important people around His Majesty. If he says that he forged these things by himself, this person who is very close to His Majesty will have him taken to the palace and forged by His Majesty. What to do with the knife?
So he insisted that this was what Wu Song used, and he got it from Wu Song's descendants!

Cheng Huailiang nodded vigorously: "I think Wu Song and Lu Zhishen must be in the same era, right?"

Lin Heng also nodded vigorously: "Brother Cheng is right!"

Cheng Yaojin lamented that his son's temper and force had followed his own, but his IQ did not follow his own at all, so he was deceived by this businessman!

Li Shimin laughed loudly and did not take it seriously, but said: "If you can find this sword forger in the future, you can recommend him to me, and I can ask your Majesty to give you a reward."

The implication is, I know you are the one who forged the sword, but I won’t force you. If you want to come to the royal sword forging, you can come to me at any time.

Lin Heng nodded, naturally understanding what he meant.

"I think His Majesty also likes this knife. How much does it cost? I bought it!"

Li Shimin waved his hand, looking quite generous.

Lin Heng then smiled and said: "Thirty piercings, a child and an old man can't be deceived!"

Li Shimin immediately looked stunned. Although he was the emperor and the supreme ruler of the entire Tang Dynasty, he was not indifferent to the sentiments of the people.

Because when he went out with the army in his early years, he would go to the fields with the soldiers to farm, and when he passed the farms, he would also ask some people for their thoughts, so he could govern the country better.

His concept of money is very clear. Today, the price of food in Chang'an is fifty cents per stone, which is 120 kilograms!How many kilograms of grain can these thirty guan buy?How many years can it feed one person?
The lion speaks up!

Li Shimin looked stunned: "Is this knife really so expensive?"

Lin Heng slowly said: "My business is honest, and they are all good knives. They are unique in the entire Tang Dynasty. There is probably no other knife forged from carbon plastic steel in the world. Its sharpness is comparable to Tang Dao freshly forged in Damascus!"

"Mr. Li wants other things, I can make them cheaper, but I'm really not accommodating."

After all, Lu Guogong and Cheng Huailiang were right in front of him. If he dared to give Mr. Li an advantage, they would definitely not buy it.

After all, they are the same knife. Although Lin Heng said they are made of different materials, these knives are all made by Lin Heng. Why is one price high and one price low? Do they have to be higher?
The two of them will definitely not give up, and this knife is definitely worth thirty strings.

Besides, you bought it for His Majesty, do you have this little money?
However, for Li Shimin, it was very bad!
Although thirty strings were not much for Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he also knew the significance of these thirty strings.

Just for buying food, thirty guan can buy a lot of food, enough to last for a long time. If it is for house resettlement, this money can also buy a nice residence outside Chang'an.

Therefore, thirty strings is still a bit expensive for Li Shimin.

"Can't it be cheap?"

Li Shimin asked.

Cheng Huailiang and Cheng Yaojin on the side were already dumbfounded. Is Your Majesty actually bargaining with the merchant in front of him?

Lin Heng said firmly: "No!"

Cheng Yaojin on the side couldn't stand it any longer. This is His Majesty negotiating with you, and you didn't relent at all?
He immediately said: "Lin Heng, your knife is indeed a good knife, but thirty knives is indeed a bit expensive. How about you make it cheaper?"

This is Lu Guogong testing himself!
"no!"

Lin Heng was as determined as ever.

Cheng Yaojin must be testing himself this time. If he gets a bargain, will his son also have to bargain with him for the knife he spent thirty guan on?
Will I still suffer a loss then?Besides, this knife is indeed a good knife. If you don’t buy it, someone else will. You can’t force it to buy or sell it!

To put it bluntly, Lin Heng didn't know Li Shimin's identity, but Cheng Huailiang and Cheng Yaojin knew it. They tried to persuade him, but Lin Heng still refused to let go, and it was never cheap!

Who gave this boy the courage? He is actually braver than his father Lin Tangqing!
Li Shimin looked at this knife deeply. He liked it very much, especially the texture on the blade was beautiful. Moreover, the texture and toughness of this knife could be said to be the best in the Tang Dynasty. Even if Even the royal swordsmiths couldn't forge it.

Buy it or not?
Will the temple be lost after passing this village?

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask this question in his heart. Now that something he likes is right in front of him, if he doesn't buy it and just watches it being bought by others, he will definitely be very sad.

After all, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a knife I like so much, but how should I explain it to the queen after I bought it?I bought a knife at the age of [-], and if I just looked at it without fighting, the Queen would definitely talk about it for a long time!

After all, the palace's finances are now controlled by Changsun Wugou, and Li Shimin also advocates frugality.

Never mind, buy it!
I once drunkenly whipped a famous horse, I once bought knives and spent a lot of money on them!
Li Shimin immediately looked at Lin and held the knife tightly in his hand: "I bought this knife, but I have a request!"

Lin Heng's eyes lit up: "Mr. Li, just say it, I will help Mr. Li realize it within the scope of my ability!"

Li Shimin was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly: "I already spent thirty guan to buy this knife of yours. Hua Zi from before...can you give me a few more?"

Without saying anything, Lin Heng took out an unopened box and handed it over, and also gave him a lighter as a gift.

"Mr. Li, there is no need to be polite to me!"

Li Shimin was moved and nodded vigorously.

Lin Heng then rubbed his hands and asked: "Mr. Li, how do you pay?"

Li Shimin immediately looked at Cheng Yaojin.

"I didn't bring any money today, so I'll borrow yours first..."

Cheng Yaojin agreed without saying anything!
