Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

That's right, fighting a war is not a child's play. As Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang said before, the fight is for national strength and death. Even if you win, what will happen after you win?

Zhang Nuo didn't expect Lao Du to be able to answer such a question, but recalled some of the knowledge that the bureau chief had talked about during his work as a prisoner of war, and continued leisurely,

"The battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks is not only revenge but also for the peace of the northern border, so it must be fought, but how to fight and how to fight, this should be the key point."

"All in all, war is just a tool to serve the national strategy. If war has no strategy and only kills or kills people, it is better not to fight!"

Du Ruhui sat upright at this moment, the drunkenness disappeared almost instantly, and he stared blankly at Zhang Nuo.

Great talent!The real great talent of the country!

Just based on the sentence "War is just a tool to serve the national strategy", Du Ruhui felt that Xiao Zhang's treasurer was even smarter than himself, the minister of the Ministry of War.

Moreover, he vaguely felt that the biggest harvest he got today might not be the poem "Join the Army".

"Old Du, since you agree with what I just said, you have to know that it's not just knives that can kill, many things can do it, and it's not just beasts that can eat people, sheep can too!"

Du Ruhui was stunned, looking at Zhang Nuo who was leaning on the back of the chair with a smile on his face, he didn't know how to answer.

Shopkeeper Zhang, is this alarmist talk or is there really some clever plan?

"Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, I understand Lao Du. It seems that this important national event and war strategy can't trouble you, but you can't just know it yourself."

"Old Du, I never expected to go to the border to fight in my life, so I enjoyed listening to you chatting. Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, you can't keep entertaining me."

Zhang Nuo laughed, Lao Du is getting better at talking now, what a wonderful person!

"Let's talk about killing people first. If we see a group of wild dogs in the wild, we should quickly raise our knives and kill them. But at the same time, we can also throw a piece of meat and then raise our knives."

When Zhang Nuo said this, he planned to explain carefully, but Lao Du suddenly clapped his hands and laughed,

"Wonderful! Shopkeeper Xiaozhang really came up with clever schemes! This analogy of throwing meat and raising a knife is brilliant!"

Zhang Nuo didn't care about Lao Du's interruption, instead he said with a smile,

"Why, Old Du, do you understand what I said?"

In any case, Du Ruhui was also a top minister who had been involved in government affairs since Li Shimin started his career. As an existence who could call Fang Xuanling "Fang Conspiracy and End Judgment", how could he be incapable.

"Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, I understand what you mean. You mean that if you just go up and fight the Turks, it will not only cost a lot, but also easily hurt yourself."

"But if we throw a piece of meat to the Turkic people, so that the Turkic people only know how to bury their heads in eating the meat. At this time, if a knife goes down, it will be fatal!"

"Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, what do I think about Old Du?"

Zhang Nuo didn't answer, just smiled and clapped, and gave him a thumbs up!

Although Du Ruhui was already an extremely human minister, but at this moment when Zhang Nuo praised him so silently, he suddenly felt that his bones were lighter.

You must know that this is Xiao Zhang's treasurer, whom His Majesty praised unceasingly. He is known as a pillar of talent. He is really proud of being praised by such a person face to face, but Du Ruhui still said modestly on the surface,

"No, I can't be praised by Shopkeeper Zhang, I have to continue to learn from Shopkeeper Zhang, try to narrow the gap with Shopkeeper Zhang in the future, and strive to keep up with Shopkeeper Zhang!"

Chapter 52

Zhang Nuo was like this, he was a little flustered when he was praised by others, of course, not only him, but also everyone else, who wouldn't like to hear a few good words?

This also made Zhang Nuo even more excited. With this excitement, he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"Old Du, do you know that in my eyes, even if I don't need a single soldier, I can wipe out the Turkic people with me as merchants?"

The corner of Du Ruhui's mouth twitched, did the shopkeeper Zhang drink too much, or did he just say he was high, and he solved the Turkic without soldiers and just relying on merchants?

Then if there is such a way, can he, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the ministers and generals in the court, be regarded as nothing more than wine bags and rice bags?

But he had inexplicable confidence in shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, and he wanted to hear what kind of method it was to make shopkeeper Xiao Zhang say such a thing.

Therefore, Lao Du cupped his hands with a smile, and saluted,

"Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, don't keep me interested in Lao Du. Looking at you like this, you must have something amazing to say. Hurry up and tell me, Lao Du, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

Zhang Nuo nodded, stood up suddenly, put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps and said,

"Old Du, let me ask you, the smallest tribe in the Turks has millions of sheep. Normally, they kill sheep, eat them and sell them, but how do they use the wool?"

Du Ruhui didn't know what Zhang Nuo's question meant, but he also knew that the question must have a deep meaning, so he answered honestly,

"Every spring, the sheep need to be sheared, and the wool obtained can be used as felt! But very few felted, and the rest are burned upside down. After all, this thing is not easy to preserve, and the Turks have few iron tools, and they don't bother to dig deep pits. gone."

Zhang Nuo nodded, thinking about the same as him, so he followed Lao Du's words and continued,

"Then, Lao Du, you said that if I tell the Turkic tribal leader that I want wool, and it costs two cents a catty, do you think the Turkic will sell it?"

Du Ruhui shook his head, but Zhang Nuo was taken aback, why did he fail to pretend?Can't you get wool at this price?

"Shopkeeper Zhang, if it's my family's wool, or even any big sheep raising family in Datang, as long as you want it, you can take a cart for a penny!"

Zhang Nuo opened his mouth unconsciously, is there such a good thing?

Nima, how expensive are high-quality woolen sweaters and woolen trousers in later generations?A penny here can pull a car away?What is the concept of a car, no matter what, it is more than a hundred catties, right?

Doesn't this mean that raw materials are free?

Then you can't make a profit if you start a wool business by yourself, the profit is higher than selling wine!

Zhang Nuo was not in the mood to show off right now, but approached Du Ruhui nervously and asked seriously,

"Old Du, are you sure? One penny per car? Have you included the shipping fee? How much is the price of the goods when they are shipped from Turkic to Chang'an? You have to think carefully about it. I'm not joking, there's really something big going on here!"
