?? Regarding Li Ke's half-truthful and half-false complaints, Li Chengqian could only smile bitterly, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Ke, in the broken place of Tubo, you can sell a night pot for a lot of money." And your fiefdom is there, it should be no problem for the fulcrum money to come out, it's a big deal to go back and make money. ”

"Brother, don't lie to me." Li Ke was said to be like weeds growing in his heart, and he unconsciously began to fantasize about that kind of life with a lot of money.

"Okay, okay, put your saliva away, it's about to flow into the teacup." Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Li Ke: "But you have to do me a favor." ”

"What's the busy?" Li Ke's expression was slightly nervous, this is the sequelae left by being deceived by Li Chengqian, and it is not easy to change the old habit for many years.

Li Chengqian gently turned the teacup in his hand, squinted his eyes and said, "The guy you use must be someone from the intelligence department." ”

Laying out the world is something that Li Chengqian has been doing, and now the people of the 'sixth group' have begun to enter the southern Linyi and other countries, and the eastern kingdoms of Wa and Goguryeo will gradually fall into the urn; To the north, soon the old man will send troops to level it, and he can ignore it; Therefore, only Tibet in the west is missing

"Intelligence Section? Brother, what do you mean? What are you doing with the Intelligence Division in my beef jerky business? At this time, Li Ke had already regarded the beef jerky business as his own way of making money, and he was a little unhappy when he heard that Li Chengqian said that he would send someone from the intelligence department to intervene.

Because of its profession, the intelligence department often does things that violate the teachings of the saints, so it is often looked down upon by scholars and literati.

From another point of view, Li Ke, an embarrassing prince, also has no good impression of the Intelligence Section, because there are often all kinds of people around him, as if they are always on guard against him.

So with these two points, Li Ke's anti-emotional report is indeed understandable.

However, Li Chengqian didn't want to change his plan because Li Ke was disgusted, and tapped the table and said lightly: "If you want to make this money, the people in the intelligence department are indispensable, otherwise we will break up." ”

"Don't, brother, you can say whatever you want, my little brother will definitely listen to you." Seeing Li Chengqian's solemn expression, Li Ke knew that he was not joking, and immediately chose to surrender.

Last time, he took more than 2,000 yuan of silver from Li Chengqian's hand, which made Li Ke experience the feeling of a local tyrant fiercely, and also let him know the ability of Li Chengqian, the eldest brother.

As a prince, although Li Ke is only in his teens, he is also very clear: if there is no big brother Li Chengqian, let alone two thousand, he will not be able to earn two thousand.

Li Ke's compromise made Li Chengqian's complexion soften slightly, and after thinking about it, he felt that he needed to give a general description of his intentions, otherwise Li Ke would always have a pimple in his heart, thinking that he was spying on him, and he would not be able to compensate for the loss

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Li Ke and said: "Xiao Ke, brother knows that you don't like those guys from the intelligence department, but have you thought about it, this Tang Dynasty is close to Tubo and the best chance to understand Tubo, which is also the reason why brother wants to install people from the intelligence department in your caravan no matter what." ”

"Inquire about the news of Tibet? What's the use of that? Can we still defeat Tibet? Li Ke also shifted his train of thought along with Li Chengqian's topic, and began to ponder Li Chengqian's intention to explore Tibet.

For this uncompetitive Li Ke, Li Chengqian really can't say too much about Tubo, so he can only half-truths and half-truths perfunctory: "'Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, one hundred battles will not be defeated', this is a famous saying left by our ancestors, although our younger generations are not filial piety and cannot be defeated in a hundred battles, but 'knowing and knowing the other' should always be done." ”

"Brother, look at it, I don't understand this." After having more contact with Li Chengqian, Li Ke knew that his purpose would not be so simple, but he couldn't figure out what he was doing after thinking about it, but he just felt that he shouldn't harm himself.

"I didn't plan to talk to you" Li Chengqian complained in his heart, and said teasingly: "Okay, after we talk about business, let's think about how you will be beaten when you go back." ”

Li Ke blinked innocently, slapped the table hard after a while, and wailed from the bottom of his heart: "Brother, I was miserable by you!" ”

"Don't come to this set, I don't know you yet?" Li Chengqian glanced at Li Ke with contempt and mercilessly revealed his true colors.

"Brother, what do you say I want to exchange for that long-haired cow when I go to Tibet for the first time?" Compared with various other inexplicable problems, Li Ke is still more concerned about how much money he can make.

"Didn't I tell you, it's enough to get a few pieces of porcelain and some silk or something." Li Chengqian said casually, although he seemed to remember something, he suddenly said: "If the cow is killed, the cowhide must be left, and it is very useful to nitrate." ”

"Usefulness?" Li Ke glanced at Li Chengqian in confusion, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he made a shape of armor on his body with his hand.

Li Chengqian didn't want to trap this poor third brother, so he nodded and said to Li Ke: "Remember, don't process it into armor from you, and after the cowhide is nitrated, it will be shipped back to Chang'an as it is, and I will let the general as a supervisor collect you at the market price." ”

In the Tang Dynasty, except for Li Chengqian, who had the acquiescence of the old man and could participate in the production of weapons and armor, none of the other princes dared to touch this thing.

Li Chengqian's kindness was quickly understood by Li Ke, and he couldn't help but say: "Ke, thank you Brother Huang!" ”

"Your own brother, you're welcome." With a generous wave of his hand, Li Chengqian stood up from his seat: "There is something to do for my brother, go first, you can think about it here." ”

"Let's go?" Li Ke didn't expect Li Chengqian to leave as soon as he said it, just now he was thinking about how many shares he wanted to give Li Chengqian, but now it seems that His Royal Highness the Prince, who is not much older than him, has no intention of sharing his money at all.

"Why don't you leave and stay here? You don't spend money on treats. Li Chengqian glanced at his younger brother and rubbed his deflated stomach.

Li Ke smiled embarrassedly, the money allocated to him last time was basically handed over to his mother Concubine Yang, and he spent a lot of money during this time, and now his pocket is empty, and there is no copper.

After finishing the meeting with Li Ke, Li Chengqian went straight to the old man's Lizheng Hall after returning to the palace, although the old man had sent someone to investigate the case of more than 400,000 taels of silver, but he always had to show his bottom and express his displeasure.

Because of such a big thing, according to his previous temperament, he should have jumped out and shouted loudly to sanction a certain country.

Now if you don't go to the old man to jump, I'm afraid that Lao Li won't be able to sleep again at night.
