The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Lu Dongzan clearly knows that Li Xiang is cheating, but after analyzing the actual situation, what Li Xiang said is very likely to be true. If it really becomes like this, then even if you are eloquent, , I’m afraid there’s no way to buy food from Datang. It’s a knife to stretch one’s head now, and it’s a knife to shrink one’s head now.

Lu Dongzan looked at the door with a guilty conscience. Under Lu Dongzan's strong request, Songtsen Gampo could only put on the soldier's uniform, and then stood at the door of the tent. After hearing this, if there was any problem, Songtsen Gampo would probably have warned him. This was what the two of them had agreed to before.

Songtsen Gampo knew very well that Lu Dongtsen brought him here so that he would not take the blame in the future.

This matter is not a trivial matter, and it involves so much money. If the operation is wrong, it may be impossible to turn over at any time, so Lu Dongzan did not dare to do it. If Songtsan Gampo did not come, , then Lu Dongzan will also go back and report it. Even if you have made Lu Dongzan the ambassador plenipotentiary, this guy will still think about his future.

"Your Highness really wants to save us. I have often heard that Your Highness has a bodhisattva heart. We in Tubo have no food at all now. If Your Highness does not give us a batch, then many of our people will probably go hungry." How can Your Highness bear to watch them starve to death?"

When Lu Dongzan said this, he felt like he was about to vomit, but he still had a doubt in his heart. If the Tang Dynasty really wanted to mobilize 200,000 soldiers, then food would definitely not be available.

"Does the Prime Minister want my life?"

Li Xiang has stopped talking about food now. We tried to jump to this topic just now. Now that you are all on the right track, let’s not continue talking about this matter. We won’t talk about price now. , we don’t want to sell it now.

"Why did Your Highness say this?"

After Lu Dongzan said these words, he immediately understood what was going on. The Tang Dynasty must have promulgated relevant laws. Now that the country is at war, all food must not be exported.

"Prime Minister, please take a look."

Sure enough, it was similar to what he thought. Changsun Chong brought another letter from the side. This letter was written by General Qin Qiong. He said that the domestic food prices were soaring at present and reminded Li Xiang to write a letter back and ask him to send it back. All the grain in the grain farm is sold. This is a good opportunity to make a profit. If Li Xiang cannot make it back, write a letter to General Qin Qiong. The general will send someone to Chang'an to avoid missing out on making money. Opportunity.

"This is very good. I have long heard that Your Highness has a group of farms, and now it is just right to sell food to us..."

Lu Dongzan felt very happy, but Changsun Chong motioned for him to continue reading. Li Xiang was also reminded below not to sell food to the Tubo people, because the border has been blocked and all food cannot be passed through. , if it is really sold to the Tubo people, then find a way to get out as soon as possible.

This letter from General Qin Qiong is already a bit unkind, especially the following sentences, telling Li Xiang to just take the deposit and leave. Anyway, he doesn't need to bear any responsibilities after leaving.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I have even given you such a letter. You should know my current situation. If I sell food to you, I may be deposed in an instant. This is our Emperor's The command."

Li Xiang said with a grimace.

"The Prime Minister may be wondering why I showed it to you. The reason why I showed it to you is to let you understand that there is nothing I can do now. It is not a business issue between us at all. I want to go back as soon as possible. , I am afraid that you will detain me in exchange for food. This is simply impossible. Even if you detain me, there will be no food. I really don’t have any food in my hand. I admit that I was In order to get a high price, I wanted to come here to sell food, but now you see the situation has already changed..."

Li Xiang also looked distressed, but this guy's acting skills were very good, and he deceived both Lu Dongtsen and Songtsen Gampo. Sometimes when you want to deceive people, just telling lies is of no use. , you must tell half the truth and half the lie. Only in this way can you deceive people.

The truth Li Xiang said is that he really wants to make money. Everyone knows this, but the situation is different now. No matter how much you want to make money, the seat under your butt is the most important. If there is no third place in Datang, then what is the use of making more money?

Lu Dongzan really felt the seriousness of the matter. If Li Xiang did not admit that he came to make money, then Lu Dongzan really felt that this matter was fraudulent, and if Li Xiang negotiated the price with him, it would also be It's unreliable, but now that Li Xiang has handed over all the information, it shows that the other party really doesn't want to do this deal and just wants to return to Chang'an as soon as possible.

"Your Highness can't do this. We are friends. Although there were various disputes in the past, we can still get by on the whole. If His Highness just lets it go, wouldn't it be the end of us in Tubo?"

Lu Dongzan was really panicked now. Just now he saw Songtsan Gampo outside the door and he was also panicked. If it weren't for the soldiers nearby, Songtsan Gampo would have come in to talk in person.

"Prime Minister, I really can't help you. The situation is different now. The whole country has to make way for war. Although I am the grandson of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I can't take out the food at will."

Li Xiang looked like he couldn't help you at the moment. He had already reached this point and didn't even have a chance to tell you the price. If you still don't believe it, there is really nothing he can do, so Li Xiang decided I don’t make this money anymore.

"Your Highness Taisun..."

Just when Lu Dongzan didn't know what to say, Songtsen Gampo couldn't help it anymore, took off the soldier's helmet from outside, and then walked up to Li Xiang.

"This is?"

The guards around Li Xiang have drawn their swords. An ordinary Tubo soldier wants to come in. If the guards next to him don't respond, then you people are really incompetent, let alone staying next to His Highness. , even ordinary general guards were not enough, and there was a sense of tension in the tent for a while...
