Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Conversation of the Monarch and the Minister
"Ada, can your long-haired sheep be exchanged for ten rams for me? I gave two big cows, one male and one female. ”
"The ancients have all decided, and they will give a maximum of three."
"My skin is not good, and I can't afford to sell it."
Both were the leaders of the small tribe, riding yellow-maned horses, wearing eagle-feathered felt hats, carrying scimitars at their waists, and bows and arrows hanging from their horses.
"Sheepskins don't sell well."
seemed to approve of the other party's words, and said while nodding, "The Tang people's smoked mutton is really delicious." My two sons went south. ”
"Did you go to school?"
"Well, Peking University."
"Your son is so smart that he can be admitted to Peking University, but my son can't do it, so he thinks about raising cattle."
"Raising cattle to make money, the Khan of the day has said, the south uses cattle for farming. The people of Wusugu also began to raise cattle in Kulunbo, and invited Hanhai officials to go. ”
"Those who are in charge are really powerful."
There is a pair of said, the water bladder is filled with Huaiyuan soju. At the beginning of the imperial court, in fact, it did not stop Li Simo from making money from selling wine, after all, the emperor had spoken, and the king of Huaiyuan County had this autonomy.
However, the king of Huaiyuan County is loyal, and as long as the profits from the sale of wine are settled, he will transport them to Chang'an by carriage and pay tribute to the emperor.
Then one day, His Majesty the Great and Bright Emperor asked his loyal dog: "Simo, Huaiyuan Shochu, how much is your profit?" ”
"The ministers have two benefits, and they are all in charge here...... It's all done by China Resources. ”
In the past, it was not impossible for businessmen to want to sell alcohol. Close a wine shop, how to sell it. It's just that you have to ask the imperial court to buy this koji, so the official doesn't have to come to collect a liquor tax. The money here is all in the koji.
It's not a big deal to make some mash. But if you make your own koji. And sell it, and wait for exile to the border.
So on the drinks. In the agricultural era, they were all cautious, and the grain was not as cheap as a dog, and the ban on winemaking was generally not lifted.
It's just an official deal, and the transportation of this drink is also a troublesome matter, so it often doesn't come and go.
However, where do you think that since the establishment of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, let alone its establishment, Li Simo had already given Li Dong nearly half a year's wine sales money before Wei Chigong took office.
"What?! There is so much in two percent of the profits?! ”
Li Dong was taken aback. Then the corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyes were deep, "I never thought that this soju would be so profitable in Mobei, which really surprised me." ”
"This is all due to the respect of the steppe barbarians for Your Majesty."
The old mad dog had a straight face and said it well.
Li Dong was very satisfied, then pointed his finger at the ticket of the China Resources, and asked, "Recently, what have the men in Liangfeng County been busy with?" ”
"I heard that we are going to get married."
"What?!"
Li Dong stood up suddenly. Then his eyes showed a fierce light, and the frightened Li Simo hurriedly lay down: "Your Majesty......"
"Say! Who did he marry to?! ”
"A little lady, a seven-year-old lady......"
Li Simo lay on the ground and said tremblingly.
"What?!"
Boom!
Li Shimin, who was furious, slapped the desk with a slap. "Bastard!"
"The sin of the minister deserves death!"
"Not about you!"
"Your Majesty, is it Zhang De......?"
"Which little lady?"
Steady your mind and take a slow, deep breath. Li Shimin suddenly remembered that Zhang Gongjin was that bastard. It seems that before returning to the Dingxiangdu Governor's Mansion, he also went to the Hetao.
Damn it!
"The surname is Xu. The surname Xu is Zhang De's township party and a native of Huzhou, Jiangnan Province. That person was working in the Hanhai Great Pastoral Supervisor, and he was the supervisor who would be the supervisor before, and the eight cows were ...... during spring ploughing."
"So it's him?"
With a slight frown, Li Shimin slowly sat down on the velvet-filled upholstered sofa, where he pondered Xu Xiaode's roots. At his feet, Li Simo was lying motionless on his stomach with his head on the ground, not daring to move at all.
"The old Xun of the Southern Dynasty Chen, the Xu ......family who moved to the north from the former Sui Dynasty," Li Shimin muttered to himself, although Xu De's ancestors were still brilliant, but that was all. Although he was born in the Sui Dynasty at the age of fifteen, he unfortunately met Yang Guang, a little expert in death, and later fell into wandering on the territory of Liang Shidu.
In terms of intelligence, Xu Xiaode is famous as a prodigy, but how can he be an official...... Without Zhang De, his rank will not change for at least one or two decades.
"If it's Xu De, it's not bad."
Li Shimin said softly, and then slowly stood up again, holding a teacup in his hand, which was naturally a new entry fried bird's tongue, and was about to pace, but found that he stepped on a hand, looked down, Li Simo was still lying there, and suddenly smiled: "Get up." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Smoker got up honestly and stood to the side with his head bowed.
As the boss of the company, as long as the workers under him do not engage in job-hopping or self-reliance, everything is easy to say. There are too many people that Li Dong is wary of, not to mention the old chairman Li Yuan, as far as the remaining brothers of Li Dong and the cousins who fight the world, he is not at ease.
In addition to these, there are all the old-school generals except for the nine lackeys of the Xuanwu Sect. Then there are the five gates and seven hopes and the barbarians who surrendered to him, all of which have to be guarded against.
Although Zhang De is young, he cannot be taken lightly. This kind of good talent and beautiful quality, not to mention that Wen Neng Anbang and Wu can determine the country, only to say that this means of accumulating money is simply a pipe regeneration. If any anti-bone boy has the support of such a fortune boy, it does not necessarily mean that the Li Tang Dynasty will collapse, but there is still no problem if the vitality of the fight is greatly damaged, such as the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Sima clan.
Psychologically speaking, Li Dong very much hopes that Zhang De will be his son-in-law, even if he is not a son-in-law, he will be a brother-in-law and brother-in-law, gritting his teeth...... It's not impossible.
But if Zhang De dares to marry the daughters of those people that Li Dongfang is guarding, then Lao Zhang is destined to become the background in Zhang Gongjin's biography. For example, in a certain year and month of Zhenguan, Gongjin's nephew died early, at the age of fifteen......
"Alas......"
With a sigh, Li Dong was stunned, such a character could not become the son-in-law of the heavenly family, it was really sad for him. That's a lot less bride price!
When he thought of Princess Langya marrying Zhang Gongjin, his father's mouth was full of oil, and Li Dong said that he was not moved, it must be fake.
Even Li Dong used his crooked brain, among the rich people in Chang'an, except for the Zhang family, Wei Chigong must be the richest man. So Li Dong is still thinking about the day when he will let Wei Chigong divorce his wife and then marry a sister of his own, so that he can not only make a lot of money, but also firmly tie at least three generations of Wei Chigong to the royal ship.
"Zhang Caozhi is in the Northland, what are you busy with?"
The matter of marriage made people block, and Li Dong directly exposed it, but he didn't hear it.
"Plant trees."
Li Simo replied honestly.
"Planting trees?"
"Yes, planting trees in the desert. Chen originally thought that this was a fantasy, but he really let Zhang Liangfeng plant it. I planted 50,000 acres of sour thorns before, and I planted them in a clay pot, and I didn't understand it, but I just thought it was interesting. Within a few months, the sour thorns were alive. In late spring, elm and willow trees were replanted, and many of them died, but there were still some alive. At this time, I began to replant sour thorns again. ”
"Can trees be planted in the desert?"
Li Dong's eyes widened, and he felt extremely amazing.
"Zhang Liangfeng once said that planting trees to consolidate the soil and control sand can prevent strong winds, and the acres of land in the Hetao can also increase production."
Li Shimin was uncomfortable, his lips trembled, then he looked at Li Simo and asked in a deep voice, "Simo." ”
"The minister is here."
After going through his mind, Li Dong stood with his hands in his hands and asked: "Under the nose of Anbei Dudu, how sure are you that you will kill Xu Xiaode?" ”
"As long as Your Majesty wants him to die, the sword mountain and the sea of fire will move forward!"
After a long time, Li Dong said: "Forget it, I am going to say." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"What I said to you......"
"Your Majesty just mentioned that you should be loyal and responsible, defend the land and the people, and keep the ministers in mind."
"Well, let's go down."
"The minister retired." (To be continued.) )
