Well???

What are you talking to me about?

Shouldn't I get him over and beat him up now?

Li Shimin was very entangled.

But in the end, seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, Li Shimin still asked for a bowl of goat's milk.

After Li Chengqian took a big sip with a face full of enjoyment, Li Shimin asked patiently: "Let's talk about it now, what is the perfect strategy?" ”

When the words fell, he didn't forget to threaten: "If you let me know that you lied to me, I will let you know what the beaten face is." ”

Hearing the threat, Li Chengqian shrank back.

Sticking his teeth at Li Shimin, Li Chengqian said: "Don't worry, this is definitely a good idea." ”

"Don't sell it, say it quickly."

The eldest grandson, Wuji, was also curious.

Li Chengqian looked at a few people: "You say, why does the Northern Desert covet the Central Plains?" ”

Why does the Northern Desert covet the Central Plains?

Do you need to ask this question?

Of course, it's because the south side is more suitable for farming.

To put it bluntly, it's just for eating.

The three of them all looked at Li Chengqian with the eyes of a fool.

Li Chengqian didn't care, and continued to ask: "Then you say, there is no way to cultivate in the Northern Desert, what do they eat every day, and where do they come from?" ”

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji looked at each other.

Both of them had the same idea in their hearts.

Is this product underwhelming?

This idiot question is also asked?

Is it an insult to their intelligence?

Of course, the Hu people on the grassland eat cattle, sheep and rice.

As for the way they came, they raised the cattle and sheep themselves, and they bought the rice from the Central Plains......

Wait a minute......

The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to react and said, "Qian'er, what do you mean ......?"

Seeing this, Li Chengqian knew that his clever uncle had already thought of the crux of the problem.

"That's right."

Li Chengqian nodded and then asked, "We will buy their cattle and sheepskin goods at all costs now, what will they do then?" ”

Cheng Yanjin said directly: "Of course, I used the money from selling cattle and sheep to buy rice." ”

"How much does a sheep cost?"

Li Chengqian said slowly: "How much is a pound of rice?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji looked at each other.

This time, even a fool can understand it, let alone these two people?

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yanjin and said, "Zhijie, you ride a fast horse and quickly go to send my biography to Jinyang Thorn History." ”

"Let him buy cattle, sheep, horses, and animal skins and sheepskins in the Northern Desert at all costs."

And obviously, Cheng Yanjin is that fool.

He still didn't understand, what does this cattle, sheep and rice have to do with whether the Northern Desert sends troops or not?

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Cheng, are you stupid?" ”

"You're stupid!"

Cheng Yanjin was not happy.

Li Chengqian continued: "Then let me ask you Uncle Cheng, now a sheep on the grassland costs 100 yuan, and we give them 150 yuan, will they sell it?" ”

"Isn't that nonsense?"

Cheng Yanjin said with an unhappy face: "The Turks have been seriously affected by the Central Plains in recent years, and many people have the concept of money, and they know that money can also be exchanged for food. ”

"With so much money to buy sheep, of course they will sell it, only fools will not sell it."

"And this is obviously a loss-making business, and you still do it?"

Cheng Yanjin looked at Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji: "You still laugh at this kid with such a bad idea?" ”

Who knows, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji also looked at him with the eyes of a fool.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "How else to say, Uncle Cheng is more than brave but not intellectual?" ”

"Do you think you're losing business?"

"Nonsense, of course it's a loss."

Cheng Yanjin directly scolded back: "You obviously want a hundred dollars for the sheep, you have to use one hundred and fifty dollars to collect it, this is not a loss?" ”

"No loss."

Li Chengqian said very firmly: "If you don't believe it, let's make a bet." ”

"If it is earned, the money for collecting sheep will be paid by Uncle Cheng, and the money earned will belong to me."

"If you lose, I will make up for the money, and I will also give Uncle Cheng a hundred sheep."

"What does Uncle Cheng think?"

Seeing that Li Chengqian was firm, Cheng Yanjin was also a little confused.

Isn't it a loss to do business like this?

Cheng Biting Jin really didn't understand, and finally gritted his teeth and said simply: "Okay, I'll bet with you Lao Cheng." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for Uncle Cheng to send the money to the treasury."

Li Chengqian glanced back at his emperor Lao Tzu, bared his teeth and asked, "Dad, what do you think?" ”

"I think it's good."

Li Shimin, the emperor who slammed the door, was the first time he felt that his son's bet was good.

Although Cheng Yanjin is not as wealthy as the eldest grandson Wuji, the wife of this goods is a member of the Qinghe Cui family.

Over the years, this product has saved a lot of small coffers.

This time, I'm going to have to make him bleed.

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head on the side and sighed: "Lao Cheng, Lao Cheng, you dare to play this kind of bet, don't lose when the time comes." ”

"I won't lose."

Cheng Yanjin was unconvinced: "If you don't believe it, let's wait and see, he must be the one who loses in the end." ”

He didn't believe it, Li Chengqian could make money from this obviously losing business.

……

That night, Cheng Yanjin took Li Shimin's handwritten letter and went to Jinyang quickly, and when he arrived in Jinyang, he handed the letter to Zheng Gaojie, the assassin of Jinyang.

Knowing that Li Shimin personally ordered it, Zheng Gaojie did not dare to slack off, and on the second day, he asked the merchants in the city to discuss together.

It was also from this day that all the border cities of the Tang Dynasty were open to the Turkic people, and a large number of cattle, sheep, horses, sheepskins and hides from the Northern Desert were purchased.

At the beginning, the people of the Northern Desert still felt that this was another move by the Tang Dynasty, and no one dared to go at all.

Who knew that after some time, the people of the Northern Desert who were really bold sold their cattle and sheep and came back.

The people of the Northern Desert said with pride on their faces: "My sheep, one of which was sold for a high price of one hundred and twenty yuan, was exchanged for four buckets of rice. ”

Based on a household of ten people in the Northern Desert, a sheep can feed a family for two to three days.

One bucket of rice is ten catties, and four buckets of rice is a full forty catties.

An adult man can also have a maximum of one catty of rice a day, and forty catties of rice is enough for a family for five or six days.

If you calculate it this way, they are cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.

And the man also said: "And I have also heard that the south is now engaged in the transfer of grain from the south to the north." ”

"The price of grain in the north will fall, maybe one of our sheep can be exchanged for sixty or seventy catties of rice."

"So much?"

Someone immediately said, "I'll drive the sheep to the border city now." ”

So, under such circumstances, many herdsmen went to the border town to sell sheep for grain with the intention of trying their luck.

As more and more people successfully sell sheep for food, more and more herders drive their sheep to the border towns.

As a result, the price of sheep did not fall, but became higher and higher, from 100 yuan at the beginning to 150 yuan later.

The price of sheepskins and hides was outrageously higher, from twenty or thirty dollars at the beginning, all the way to fifty dollars.

Later, the entire border was bought up by the Turks.

But this did not stop the enthusiasm of the Turks to sell sheep and animal skins......

As Cheng Yanjin said, the Turks have been seriously affected by sinicization in recent years, and they know that silver money can also be exchanged for food.

Sheep will die if they can't be raised, but money won't.

Moreover, they are also afraid that Datang will not accept their sheep after a while, and it will be too late.

Watching others eat rice, they also feel envious.

This also led to an even more enthusiastic storm of selling sheep......
