Chapter 338: The sky-high asking price
Li Lizhi said: "My daughter understands, and she must remember the teachings of the queen mother. ”
After speaking, Li Lizhi saw that the corners of the eyes of the eldest grandson queen were already wrinkled, and her heart was a little sour.
Empress Changsun said: "Fortunately, Li Zheng is not good at women, this is also his biggest advantage, it seems that it is a little too much, Li Zheng seems to be a little too close to women." ”
Li Lizhen picked up the clan tree again and said, "My daughter knows how to write it." ”
Empress Eldest Sun nodded slightly.
In Jingyang, it was already the end of August when Li Zheng saw Mo vomiting again.
Seeing that Mo vomited and was now dark and thin, Li Zheng handed him an antidote again.
Silently swallowed the antidote and took out a few parchment rolls, "Several nobles in the Western Turks have to buy weapons. ”
Li Zheng looked at the contents of the parchment roll and said, "The price is too cheap, and I even want food." ”
Mo looked at the contents of the parchment roll and said, "Three thousand times a Da Mo knife is not cheap. ”
Li Zheng sat in the rocking chair and looked at the silent expression and said, "Six thousand guan is a big Mo knife, and three thousand guan is one stone." ”
"But this ......"
This sounds like Li Zheng's casual price and it is ridiculously high, three thousand yuan and one stone of millet rice? This is a robbery while the fire is burning.
Seeing that Mo was a little embarrassed, Li Zheng continued: "How is the war between the Western Turks and Tibet now? ”
He said silently: "Tubo seems to be a little lacking in stamina, the Western Turks have fought back, and some sandstorms have buried a lot of Tubo people some time ago. ”
Li Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "Six thousand guan, at this price, no one can buy weapons in Guanzhong except me." ”
He said silently: "The villain understands. ”
Looking at his lonely expression, Li Zheng said, "Do you think I'm very unreasonable?" ”
Mo vomited and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The villain has never thought of it like this. ”
Li Zheng grinned and said: "Six thousand guan, I won't sell it for less than a penny, if the people of the Western Turks are not willing to buy it, you can go to Tubo and walk around, I believe that Songtsen Gampo is still quite rich." ”
The Western Turks were poor, at least poorer than Tibet.
Now the financial resources of Songtsen Gampo in Tibet should be good.
Hollowing out the wealth of the Western Turks is just a matter of convenience, and forcing Songtsen Gampo to take out the money is what he wants.
And in the zone of the Western Turks, it is located exactly in Central Asia.
There's a lot of oil and gas there, and that's a lot of money.
Li Zheng poured a cup of hot food for Mo and put it in front of him, "You help me lobby for business outside, I won't treat you badly, but you can't let me lose money, right, after selling a batch last time, Chaozhong immediately noticed it." ”
"Now the wind is very tight, weapons are not easy to sell, you should also understand."
Mo asked curiously, "Isn't this the one in Chang'an?" ”
"How many people do you think you'll believe you if you go out and talk about it out loud? How long will that noble man let you live? ”
Hearing Li Zheng say these words, he silently snorted and snorted coldly.
Would the emperor sell his weapons today?
Who would believe this kind of talk.
A sense of powerlessness floated in his heart, and he didn't dare to look up at Li Zheng's expression.
The tight rumor is just an excuse for Li Zheng, an excuse to ask for a sky-high price.
This excuse also works, and I can't find any flaws.
"Although you go to the sky to ask for a price, if something happens, I will carry it, and if the Western Turks refuse to buy weapons, we will sell them to Tibet, and the Western Turks deserve to perish."
Silently bowed repeatedly, "The villain understands." ”
"Go back, remember that the Western Turks don't buy some people want to buy, and I have a good relationship with the Eastern Turks' stubbornness, that guy still owes me a lot of money, you don't do good things, he is happy to help me do it, and he will definitely not shirk the things that make money."
He immediately saluted and said: "The villain will definitely accomplish the great cause of the county marquis, please rest assured!" ”
This time, the sound of silence was loud, as if a decision had been made.
"I don't care what means you use, I just want the result."
Hearing Li Zheng's voice, he bowed down silently and said, "The villain understands what to do, please rest assured." ”
After saying that, he turned around and hurried away.
walked all the way to the outside of Jingyang Village, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and the back of his neck was already soaked with cold sweat.
Li Zheng was a devil, and he thought to himself that he wanted the Western Turks and Tibetans to fight until one side was destroyed.
The weapons business is nothing more than the trading of the left and right hands of the Tang Dynasty.
Silently, he was terrified in his heart, as long as Li Zheng was still in the day, maybe the countries around Datang would not have a good time.
Cheng Chumo and Wang Xuance were walking together to discuss the exercises in a few days.
Seeing that Mo Ji had just walked out of the village, Cheng Chu said to himself: "This Mo Ji is also quite majestic now, there are so many servants with him." ”
Wang Xuance asked curiously, "Why did this Turkic come to the village?" ”
Cheng Chumo patted Wang Xuance on the shoulder, "He is doing business with Li Zheng, and Li Zheng still has some business outside the customs, and he has always been in charge." ”
Wang Xuance frowned, looked at the silence in the distance, and was curious.
A few days later, smoke drifted from the south of Jingyang.
This is the smoke produced by burning bellflower in a large area.
Li Zhi helped light the fire all the way and ran through the fields with a group of children.
Li Zheng said to Li Yifu: "Children just like to play with fire. ”
Li Yifu nodded, "His Royal Highness King Jin is very lively." ”
The thick smoke drifted along the wind to Niujia Village, which was downwind, and the tenants living in Niujia Village saw the fog-like smoke coming all over the sky, scolded and ran to the upwind outlet, breathing in the air and choking on the smoke.
In the past, Niujia Village was still quite populous, and the tenants were also high-spirited.
Now that everyone has run away, if it weren't for General Niu's tenants, maybe they would have left.
The tenant of Niujia Village looked at the direction where the smoke was coming and said aggrievedly: "It's too bullying." ”
Burning bellflower was used to fertilize the fields, and digging ditches was a complicated task, so Li Zheng asked the people in the village to simply build a river-like embankment building on the banks of the Jingyang River.
There is a small house above the embankment, and by turning the wheels of the small house, the gate under the house can be pulled up to direct water into the ditch, and the gate can be lowered when it is not needed.
Due to the wide gap in the embankment, simply opening the sluice gate allows the ditch to fill the required amount of water in the shortest possible time.
Large quantities of water can also be put in to irrigate the fields, and there are also water wheels not far away that can be used for continuous irrigation.
The design concept is a bit ahead of its time, but it's very practical and very safe.
There are still more than 2,000 acres of land to be cleared, but it will not take much time to start the three stages of the system.
Li Lizhi came to Jingyang again, seemed to be in a good mood, and brought a lot of clothes and food.
"Her Royal Highness the princess is too polite, come here to bring so many things for what."
Li Lizhi glared at Li Zheng and asked the female guard to take out things from the carriage, all of which were gifts, and Li Zheng even saw ginseng.
"Her Royal Highness the princess saw that her life was not long in coming, and she used ginseng to renew my life."
Li Lizhi snorted coldly: "Soon?" Others can fool, this princess is not so easy to fool, it's not for you. ”
"Who's it for?"
Li Lizhi blushed and said, "Anyway, it's not for you." ”
