Chapter 16: Madness of Li Shimin
After Qin Jue's enlightenment, Cheng Chumo finally stopped carving his plank, but went to find a larger plank, divided it into small wooden blocks of the same size, and then began to carve various characters.
The prototype of movable type printing has appeared, and the next thing is papermaking, Qin Yu doesn't know anything about this thing, he doesn't know anything at all, and he can't do it naturally, what he can look forward to at this time is to complete the small goal of the first stage, and obtain the heavenly creation known as the industrial encyclopedia of the seventeenth century.
In this way, he will be able to master the art of papermaking, and then according to his modern thinking, he will be able to improve the papermaking technique, and when the time comes, the paper will be able to be used casually, so that he will not have to wash his butt every time he goes to the toilet.
Making money is the number one priority.
Watching Cheng Chumo carve his template, he felt a little boring.
At this time, Forget Worry came to his side and said to him: "Uncle, there is a person named Guan Yue outside, he claims to be a salt and iron envoy, wearing an official uniform, I don't know if it's true or not. ”
“……”
Qin Yu was a little confused, wearing an official uniform, calling himself a salt and iron envoy, if this is fake, it will be a big crime of killing the head!
In this ancient world, anyone else dared to pretend to be an official of the imperial court?
Are you kidding.
You've been with the samurai for a while, don't you even know that?
I'm a time-traveler, even if I don't understand ancient times, don't you know either?
Qin Jue heard the news, and then left directly to see the so-called salt and iron envoy.
Qin Jue only knew that pretending to be an official of the imperial court was a big crime of killing the head, but this kind of thing should also be discussed on a case-by-case basis, if this person was today, it would be impossible for anyone to hold him accountable.
This Guan Yue is exactly what Li Shimin is impersonating.
He thought about it for a long time, if he went as a civilian, wouldn't it be a big loss if this kid didn't see him, and a civilian, he didn't speak hard, the purpose of this time was to make salt, pretending to be salt and iron to make it just right.
Qin Jue naturally didn't know about it.
Soon Qin Jue saw Li Shimin, bowed respectfully to him, and then said: "I don't know what happened when the salt and iron envoy Yue Gong came today?" ”
He is now a commoner, and he should still have the respect he should have when he treats a person with an official position.
Otherwise, in this ancient world, I really can't even live an episode.
In ancient times, human life was like a mustard, and it was prudent to act and be too arrogant to be easily assassinated.
His system is not a serious system, and he doesn't have strong strength, so he can't be too arrogant.
When Li Shimin saw Qin Jue's first glance, he immediately rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that he was not dazzled, his first sentence turned out to be: "I don't know Ling Zun's name?" ”
Qin Jue was a little confused, this salt and iron envoy came to the door, originally thought that this guy was coveting his own salt, but he didn't expect that the first sentence at the beginning was to ask himself Lao Tzu's name.
To be honest, Qin Yu really didn't know his father's name.
When he crossed over, although this body had memories, the memories before the age of seven were completely lost.
A blank space, the memory behind it, that is, the memory of wandering.
"Yue Gong's question really made the kid speechless."
Qin Jue sighed, and then said: "The memory before the age of seven, the kid has completely lost it, after the age of seven, the kid is an orphan, I don't know why Yue Gong asked this?" ”
Li Shimin sighed after listening to Qin Jue's words, and then said: "Without him, your appearance is very similar to a life-saving benefactor." ”
"Huh?"
When Qin Jue heard this, he was immediately a little stunned.
This is a good means, in order to pull the relationship, unscrupulous means.
said that it was like a life-saving benefactor, these words were in Qin Jue's ears, he just wanted to have a relationship with him, and then he was embarrassed to bargain at that time.
However, this one seems to think too much, even if he is really the son of his savior, so what?
His son was long dead.
And the father of this body has a life-saving grace for him, so this price will definitely not be lowered, and he can't say that he will raise this price to let him return the life-saving grace.
At this time, Li Shimin spoke again: "I, the life-saving benefactor, is the Tang Dynasty Shangzhu State at this time, and the lord is the duke, but unfortunately there is no son-in-law to inherit the title, if you are his son-in-law, then there will be someone to succeed this title." ”
“……”
When Qin Jue heard this, he immediately scolded in his heart.
Shameless!
What a shameless person, for the sake of profit, actually spoke like this.
It's really a good way to draw a pie for yourself and then bargain.
"Guogong?"
Qin Jue pursed his lips, and then said: "I don't want this title, if I want a title, I can take it myself, why inherit it?" ”
Looking at Qin Jue's disdainful expression, Li Shimin suddenly became angry, but after thinking about it, he forcibly suppressed the anger again, and then asked: "At this time, Tang Chengping, whether there is a war or not, the title is not so easy to obtain." ”
"Datang Chengping? Are you kidding me? ”
Qin Jue sneered, and then said: "There are Liaodong Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Wakou in the east, Lingnan Turen in the south, Tianzhu, Tubo and Qiuzi in the west, Turkic, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, and the enemy in all directions, you tell me about Tang Chengping?" ”
“……”
When Li Shimin heard this, his scalp suddenly went numb, it was okay if he didn't say it, but as soon as he said it, he felt cold sweat all over his body.
I knew that this question was nothing, but as soon as I was told it, I suddenly felt a little chill in my back.
There are really enemies on all sides, and if they attack at the same time, the Tang Dynasty will collapse in an instant.
"But you don't join the army, how can you participate in the war to get military merits?"
Li Shimin thought about it carefully, although these are pressures, they are also motivation, and when Datang is strong, these people will slowly be beaten down by themselves.
"You are a salt and iron envoy, do you know what war is? Will you? War depends on my brain, if I have a strategy, I can calm the world, do you say I still can't get a knighthood? ”
Qin Jue glanced at Li Shimin, and then said: "You don't understand these things, and it doesn't make sense to tell you, the purpose of your coming here should be for salt, right?" I'll just say it directly, twenty wen a catty, unlimited amount for you, how about it? ”
"The price on the market is 20 wen a catty, how can I make money like this?"
When Li Shimin heard this price, he immediately felt outrageous, twenty wen a catty? So what's the point of me buying salt?
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Qin Jue immediately became disdainful: "You are still a salt and iron envoy, you can't even settle accounts, what kind of salt and iron envoy is it, it is better to go home and farm!"
The price of salt in Chang'an is 20 wen a catty, but don't forget that you can only buy one catty per person per month! If he is from Jiangnan, does he come to Chang'an once a month? How much does it cost on the road to buy a pound of salt every time? Have you thought about it?
I'll give you twenty wen a catty, no limit, you transport these salts to Jiangnan, and then raise the price a little bit, you promise to be able to make a lot of money, and then the treasury will have money, and you will be close at hand to add an official to the knighthood, and you still dislike my high price?
For a person like you, even if someone else puts food in your mouth, you won't chew it, and sooner or later you will choke to death. ”
Qin Jue turned on the crazy taunting mode, and Li Shimin's face was flushed when he heard it.
This is not anger, this is shame, he really doesn't know these things, after listening to Qin Jue's explanation, he understands that this thing can be operated like this.
Businessmen, as expected, are villains who do not produce and only have interests in their eyes.
I'm a gentleman, I can't think of these things as they should be.
