Chapter 104 is so stupid

The eldest grandson Wuji was very disappointed at this time, he thought that he was rich in five cars, and he was only eight buckets high. But Chen Ying's conversation with Li Shimin, he couldn't interject at all. The eldest grandson Wuji quietly left the big tent of the Chinese army and walked outside the tent, and suddenly he found an abnormal situation, the prince of the East Palace led more than 20,000 soldiers in the left and right guards, and the left and right Si Yu led more than 20,000 soldiers in the whole army, and they all wore down jackets.

Since the winter of the first year of Wude, Chen Ying invented the use of down to be steamed and sterilized at high temperatures, and then filled with down into clothing instead of fur, this lightweight, flexible, and warm down jacket quickly swept Chang'an, and even exported to the grassland. The price of a down jacket can be sold for two or three hundred taels in Chang'an, and if it reaches the hands of the Turkic nobles on the steppe, the price has increased tenfold, and it can be sold for two or three hundred taels of gold, which is equivalent to three thousand guan.

Of course, the best down is ducks, but in this era, due to low grain production, although artificially bred ducks exist, but the number is scarce, a down jacket includes a down jacket and a pair of pants, at least one and a half pounds of down are needed, and at least eighty duck downs are needed to avoid being strong enough.

The output of down jackets is limited by the number of ducks, has not been improved, at this time there is no hormone feed, all rely on grain or wheat bran feeding, a duck needs almost a year to grow, a duck to eat nearly eighty or ninety pounds of grain a year, plus labor costs, a duck needs about eighty to one hundred dollars. However, with the stimulation of the market for down jackets, each duck in Chang'an will be sold for between 150 and 180 yuan, and the cost of down is about forty or fifty yuan.

Even if Chen Ying gets a down jacket at cost price, a down jacket will be as high as sixty or seventy times, and more than 20,000 people will have one piece, and it will cost more than one million times. There are also duvets, I'm afraid it's more than three million. Thinking about the eldest grandson Wuji makes me shudder. At the beginning of Li Yuan's army, he received the support of the Taiyuan Wang clan, the Taiyuan Wen clan, the Qinghe Cui clan and the Longyou Li clan, and the four major families donated nearly 1.7 million yuan of property and materials to Li Yuan, so that Li Yuan and the Li Tang Dynasty did not have to rely on war to feed the war and plunder the money and grain of the people or rich families everywhere like other righteous armies, so as to obtain the name of the teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

This information is very important, how could Chen Ying have such a large amount of financial resources? Obviously, this source of wealth must be Li Jiancheng, although Chen Ying was born in the Hou Mo Chen clan, but the Hou Mo Chen clan does not have that much financial resources at all.

If Li Jiancheng really received such a large amount of financial support, and was willing to invest such a large amount of capital in order to win a major attack opportunity, then Li Shimin would not have any chance of winning in this struggle to win the succession. Whether it is winning the heir or the world, the most critical and core issue is the word "money".

The so-called price of loyalty is because the bargaining chips for betrayal are not enough, and Li Jiancheng is willing to invest millions of yuan in a snatch of military exploits, so once he wants to win over or buy Li Shimin's descendants, I am afraid that in the end, Li Shimin will not have a few people left.

Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji was not calm at all.

The eldest grandson Wuji returned to the big tent, but Chen Ying's face was full of red light, he and Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were holding a coarse porcelain bowl and eating a kind of food called oily noodles. At this time, noodles were not called noodles, they were still called soup cakes, but Chen Ying called soup cakes noodles.

Li Shimin is also stubborn about Chen Ying, but the name noodles are more appropriate. Oily noodles are actually very simple, that is, put the boiled noodles into a bowl, chopped green onions, pepper powder, salt and other ingredients and a thick layer of chili noodles are spread on the noodles together, pour hot vegetable oil on the seasoning, and immediately boil the hot oil, blanch the pepper noodles and chili noodles and fill the bowl with red light, and then add an appropriate amount of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. It can also be eaten with cured meat, tomatoes and eggs.

However, at this time, Chen Ying did not have chili peppers, which made Chen Ying very regretful, fortunately, it has been almost two years since he came to this world, and Chen Ying is also used to the days without chili peppers.

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned and looked at Li Shimin without any image, mouthing on soup cakes, while wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

"Mowgli, you're just in time!" The noodles in Li Shimin's mouth had not yet been chewed, and he muttered: "Hurry up while it's hot, this soup cake ......"

Chen Ying corrected again: "Yes, oil splashed noodles"!

"That's right, oily noodles!" Li Shimin said: "Although it is a simple food in the army, it is better than the delicacies of the mountains and seas. ”

As he spoke, Li Shimin said to one of the guards beside him: "Go and serve a bowl to this king again!" ”

The guards also swallowed their saliva with difficulty, although there were no peppers, but there was no shortage of ginger, onions, garlic, especially tomatoes, and the only pity was that there were no greens.

Li Shimin finished three bowls of noodles in a row, and looked at Chen Ying with his hands: "Your Highness, there is no more!" ”

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Du Ruhui. Du Ruhui hurriedly pulled the noodles in the bowl into his mouth two or three times, and there was not even half of the soup left in the bowl.

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and hesitated, and said with a smile: "The lonely king almost forgot, Wuji is a meat eater, no meat is not happy, come and get some meat for Wuji!" ”

At this time, where is the eldest grandson Wuji still in the mood to eat.

Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji nodded, Li Shimin hurriedly snatched the bowl of oily noodles specially reserved for the eldest grandson Wuji, for fear that the eldest grandson Wuji would regret it, so he hurriedly pulled it inside.

Chen Ying looked at Du Ruhui and asked, "His Royal Highness King Qin, let's continue?" ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, go on, Keming bothers you to record!" ”

Du Ruhui's arm was already sore, and in just an hour and a half, Chen Ying had already said no less than 20,000 words, and he recorded that his wrist was shaking, but King Qin had a life, and he had to follow.

Chen Ying held the teacup and said with a sip: "For the Turkic economy, they can have absolute control, obey the Tang Dynasty, and are willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, even if it is only a nominal submission, you can also give them a chance to interact with each other, so that they can drink our Datang tea, wear Han family clothes, and there is a way to have shallow into luxury, from luxury to shallow, and it is difficult to go from luxury to shallow, and wait for them to develop a habit...... Humph......"

For the Tang Dynasty, the surrounding countries are all scum, even Goguryeo, which is known as a small power in Northeast Asia, is actually a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural country, and they are self-sufficient and cannot do it at all. As long as they take economic export, their already fragile economic system can be completely destroyed in a very short time.

The eldest grandson Wuji was still true to Chen Yingke, and sneered at each other: "The Turks are ferocious, even if they have nothing, as long as they still have a knife in their hands, they will go south to rob them, and now our Tang Dynasty has eliminated Liu Wuzhou and lost the buffer zone with the Turks, once tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry go south, everything will become Turkic at that time!" ”

"Actually, I don't understand, why do I have to send troops in Datang? Isn't it good to surrender without a fight? Chen Ying said with a smile: "If the Central Plains is undecided, once Dou Jiande of Hebei completes the support and control of Shandong, he will either turn south and compete with Wang Shichong for the Central Plains, or return to deal with Luo Yi in Youzhou, once Dou Jiande completes the layout, that is the real misfortune of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "How can there be so many soldiers in the world who surrender without a fight? ”

"Why not? Just talking about Luo Khan Ashina Lifushe, he has two sons, Ashnao shooting, Ashina Yu shooting, and he also has three younger brothers, Ashina Ambi, Ashina Bulishe, and Ashina Desire Valley, this can be done. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "What is the matter with the son and younger brother of Luo Khan? Could it be that they will help Datang kill their father? ”

Chen Ying has always been a person who respects him, he makes people look at him, the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't know what gunpowder he ate, he has always spoken to him with a gun and a stick, Chen Ying will naturally not be polite, Chen Ying suddenly raised an octave at the eldest grandson Wuji's voice: "You are really stupid!" ”

"You!" When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he was so angry that his forehead was bulging. His face was flushed like a red cloth.

Chen Ying suddenly became scared, he was really afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji would be angry in front of him.

You must know that the body shape of the eldest grandson Wuji is developing horizontally, as Li Shimin said, he is meatless and unhappy, such a fat body, and he likes to eat meat, a proper three-high crowd, if he is so angry that he has a cerebral congestion attack, Chen Ying will have a life lawsuit.

Fortunately, Chen Ying's worries were superfluous, and the eldest grandson Wuji held back for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "If you don't tell me a ugly son today, I will not be finished with your surname Chen!" ”
