Chapter 53: Robbed Again

Zhenguan territory map?

Isn't it a map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty?

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Shimin in confusion.

Li Shimin lowered his head and looked at Li Chengqian with a gloomy look: "What, do you have an opinion?" ”

Opinion?

As far as your old man's eyes are concerned, do I dare to have an opinion?

Li Chengqian smiled with a dog's leg: "How can there be an opinion, my father is not only wise and martial, but also extraordinary, and the name is the best." ”

After a wave of rainbow farts was delivered, Li Shimin felt a little better.

With his eyes sweeping, Li Shimin saw that Li Chengqian was still holding a picture in his hand.

"What's this picture?"

"Ah, that's ......"

"Uh...... Zhenguan wind propeller. ”

Li Chengqian added the word Zhenguan very familiarly.

"What is a wind propeller?"

Li Shimin took the drawings from Li Chengqian's hands, and the drawings on them were completely incomprehensible to him.

"It's for improving the boat."

"Modified ships?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with some puzzlement.

Li Chengqian opened his mouth to explain: "If you add a wind propeller to the stern of the ship, the wind and the sky can travel 500 miles in a day and 200 miles at night. ”

"Even on a windless day, you can walk 300 times a day and 100 nights."

Hearing this, Li Shimin subconsciously felt that Li Chengqian was bragging.

Now Datang's shipbuilding technology is actually leading the world, but even so, it can only travel 100 miles a day on a windy day, and only 50 miles at night.

But this product actually said that if you put such a small thing, you can increase the itinerary tenfold.

Isn't this braggadocio or what?

Li Shimin smiled slightly, threw the wind propeller aside and said, "I really don't believe this." ”

"Do you really not believe it?"

"I really don't believe it."

"Father, do you dare to make a bet with your child?"

"Bet?"

Li Shimin raised his eyes, looked at Li Chengqian and asked, "How do you want to bet?" ”

"Bet that if I add a propeller to the hull, I can travel 500 miles a day."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin very seriously.

Seeing this, Li Shimin was also a little surprised.

Is this kid so confident?

"Oh?"

"How do you win, and what if you lose?"

"I lost, let my father dispose of it, I have nothing to say."

Li Chengqian raised his head and said, "But if I win, then my father will have to grant me a request." ”

"What request?"

"Let me be in business."

"Impossible!"

"You don't have to think about business in your life, or I'll break your legs."

Hearing that Li Chengqian was still thinking about doing business, Li Shimin was a little annoyed.

This kid is crazy about money, right?

How can a dignified son, who doesn't think about the country, just thinks about making money?

Li Shimin really felt that he should beat this kid on the ground at this time.

If you don't fight, this kid will never remember.

{Received Rage +38......}

Hearing the system prompt, Li Chengqian was a little stunned.

He hurriedly walked to Li Shimin's side and said, "But father, I'm really unwilling, I'm not willing to make this business cheaper for others." ”

"I went to Jiangnan this time, and I inquired myself, and the price of grain there is only ten wen and one dou, while the grain price in our Chang'an is more than thirty wen and one dou."

"If I go to the south to collect grain and sell grain in the north, the difference in price will be more than 20 yuan......

"I think you're dreaming."

"You think this business is so easy?"

Li Shimin is really going to be defeated by this guy's naivety.

didn't wait for him to say anything, Li Chengqian spoke first: "Didn't my father just want to say, the wear and tear on the road and other issues?" ”

"But have you forgotten, father, I said that my improved ship can travel five hundred miles a day."

"If you take the waterway, Suzhou is only 3,000 miles away from Chang'an, and it will take no more than ten days to reach Chang'an with my cargo ship full of grain and grass."

"Even if there is a lot of loss in ten days, how much can it have?"

"This ......"

Li Shimin is not a fool.

If he had been a fool, he would not have been where he is today.

After Li Chengqian said this, he basically understood a little.

If you can really arrive in Chang'an from Suzhou in ten days, then this business may really be done.

Nowadays, the grain business in the south is controlled by the family.

Li Shimin stared at this fat sheep for no longer knowing how long, but because he didn't think of a good way, he kept delaying.

And now that Li Chengqian said this, he really woke up Li Shimin at once.

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Tell me the truth, did you do this to target the family?" ”

For the Maison?

This is really wronging yourself.

Li Chengqian just wanted to make money while benefiting the people.

But at this time, he could not say that.

If you say it, don't say you'll be beaten, I'm afraid it won't be good.

Therefore, Li Chengqian pretended to be resolute and said: "If the family is not removed, it will be a trouble." ”

"But the family is deeply rooted in various places, and we can't use the stupid method of cutting through the mess as quickly as Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty."

"You can only boil the frogs in warm water and slowly boil them to death."

Hearing this, Li Shimin was really a little surprised.

This guy actually knows how to use his power to plan.

This was even more surprising to Li Shimin than Li Chengqian's presentation of the atlas.

And the most important thing is that he can actually go with him, and he can also use the former Emperor Yang as an example.

This really made Li Shimin look at him a little impressed.

Li Shimin hid a smile and said: "In this case, then I promise you, if you can really improve the ship that can travel 500 a day, then I will approve your proposal and carry out the transfer of grain from the south to the north......"

"Thank you......"

Wait a minute......

Li Chengqian was just about to say thank his father.

But I immediately realized that something was wrong.

Li Chengqian looked up at Li Shimin: "Father, are you talking about the transfer of grain from the south to the north?" ”

"yes."

Li Shimin tilted his head and looked at Li Chengqian and said, "You have given so much business to your uncle, can't I, the father, rob you of one?" ”

No way......

Yourself robbed again?

Li Chengqian looked up bitterly and said, "But father, you also need money to renovate ships and build ships, can you advance some of my activity funds first?" ”

"Huh?"

"What do you say? Say it again? ”

"By the way, the moon is really round today."

Li Shimin suddenly looked up at the sky.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Don't you just don't want to give yourself money?

Don't you come up with a excuse to praise the moon in broad daylight, right?

Li Shimin also felt a little embarrassed, cleared his throat and said, "There are still government affairs to deal with in the palace, so I will leave first." ”

"As for the money needed to improve the ship, you can figure it out yourself......"

"The child sends his father to ......"

Li Chengqian was about to grit his teeth.

It doesn't take a fraction of the money to build a ship.

Even if Li Chengqian took out all his family resources, I am afraid that it would only be enough to build a ship.

But thinking that most of the ships would be snatched away by Li Shimin in the future, Li Chengqian felt heartache.

This old guy who picks the door.

I also want to pay for shipbuilding out of my own pocket.

Others are cheating fathers, but this old guy is the pit son here?
