Wen Sanwu couldn't help complaining in his heart: "You haven't made enough coffins, your imperial tomb has been built for several years!" What an old guy who is more greedy than the young master! But he flattered: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the last general will definitely tell the young master and ask him to find you more good projects!" ”

Li Yuan pointed at Wen Sanwu and said with a smile: "One virtue with literature and art, well, the rest of you have no opinion, right?" ”

Xiao Rong and the other principals sent by the family dared to say a word "no", and they hurriedly agreed. Li Yuan was satisfied: "Okay, since this matter has been settled, I won't stay long, I will leave first." There is news that there are pirates who dare to rob our Datang merchant ships in Goguryeo, and they are really tired of being crooked, so I'm going to give them some color to see! ”

Wen Sanwuyi heard this, hurriedly went up to stop Li Yuan, and said: "Your Majesty, if there is a reason for this matter, please Your Majesty have the right to move the captain's room, and I will report to you in detail at the end." ”

As soon as Li Yuan heard it, he guessed that this eighty percent was some kind of moth made by literature and art, nodded, and walked towards the captain's room in a leisurely manner. Wen Sanwu made tea for Li Yuan before saying, "Your Majesty, can you go over there, our Datang is now engaged in infrastructure construction, and we need manpower everywhere." And what we lack in Datang now is people, so Wen Xiang wants to show the enemy weakness to lure the surrounding small countries to attack us. Then we'll catch them all! No matter how you say it, you can get hundreds of thousands of free labor! And since they initiated the war, we can ask them to compensate us for our losses in the war, which is called 'war reparations'. How cost-effective it is to get a lot of labor and money at once! ”

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked: "Let's not talk about the surrounding powers such as the Turks, Tuyuhun, Tubo, etc., but the hundred countries of the Western Regions can gather 200,000 troops, are you sure that literature and art can deal with it?" ”

Wen Sanwu looked around and found that only he and Li Yuan whispered: "Your Majesty, I heard that Wen Xiang said that a set of battle armor was ordered for you, I don't know if you received it?" ”

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Not yet, this kid is slow, you have to help me urge you when you go back, but why are you mentioning this?" ”

Wen Sanwu replied in a low voice: "At present, all 3,000 people in the Xuanjia Army have been replaced with the latest Hope Battle Armor. In addition, 2,000 sets are still in production, and talents have been selected from the sixteen guards to prepare for the formation of a second steel army! According to the deductions of Commander Li, Commander Niu, Commander Hou and others, our Datang can now start a three-line battle at the same time, and can defeat any enemy within 5 million head-on! So Your Majesty need not worry. ”

Li Yuan asked in disbelief: "5 million!" Doesn't that mean that we are invincible in the world? ”

Wen Sanwu smiled and said, "It's not all thanks to Your Majesty's blessings. ”

Li Yuan laughed and said: "You, you haven't learned anything from literature and art, so you have learned his oily tone ten out of ten." Well, since you have a plan, I won't get involved. Eh, Goguryeo can't go, and I don't know where to go. ”

Wen Sanwu's eyes purred, he rolled around twice, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to have some fun, it's not easy." I heard that although the southern countries are small and have few soldiers, they are all very rich, why don't your majesty go there and have some fun? ”

Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Do you want me to do a business-free business like you?" ”

Wen Saneyi said seriously: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, let's go all the way to the south, what is not the cost of hard work, fuel, and labor?" We create our own wealth through our own hands, how can this be a business without capital? This is reasonable and legal serious business! ”

Li Yuan laughed so hard that his freshly inserted dentures were about to burst out, and he patted Wen Sanwu's shoulder vigorously and said, "Good boy! Robbery can make you say so justifiable, reasonable and legal, I ask you, which country's law allows you to rob? ”

Wen Sanwu smiled innocently: "Datang definitely doesn't have this kind of law, but don't we have the "Outer Sea Convention". It's clearly written! ”

Li Yuan was curious: "The Outer Sea Convention? I haven't heard of it, so tell me what the "Outer Sea Convention" says. ”

Wen Sanwu touched his nose awkwardly and said with a smile: "Eh, this convention has not been drafted yet, aren't we negotiating, and the general can write this article into the convention at the end." ”

Li Yuan smiled more and more heartily: "Okay, I'll see how your kid can make the robbery reasonable and legal." ”

Wen Sanwu's brain was running rapidly, and Wen Sanwu smiled for a moment: "Article 1 of the "Outer Sea Convention": All non-Datang merchant ships, people, and businessmen must bear their own losses in non-Datang territory. Article 2: If the people, livestock, and goods belonging to Datang are missing or left behind in non-Datang territory, the countries involved must be properly resettled and notify the relevant personnel of Datang in a timely manner, and if there is injury or damage, the country needs to bear all the adverse consequences caused by this. ”

After hearing this, Li Yuan burst into laughter again: "Good guy, you even thought of an excuse for robbery!" Nice, nice, great lad. Don't follow the arts, that guy will only lead you badly, follow me in the future, well, from now on you will be my guardian leader! ”

Wen Sanwu was dumbfounded, isn't this lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot! He still wants to go back to sleep with his daughter-in-law in his arms! Between the lightning and flint, Wen Sanwu's eyes were red, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof" and said in a sincere tone: "Thank you Your Majesty for your love, and the end will be grateful!" But please also ask Your Majesty to take back your life, the last general's young child has just turned four years old is the time to babble, and there is still a son in the womb, the last general is worried about the family and does not dare to leave for too long! ”

Li Yuan looked at Wen Sanwu, whose eyes were red, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he was a new father, he couldn't help but sigh, pulled him up from the ground and said with a smile: "It's me who is abrupt, I can't complain about Aiqing, since the wife at home is about to give birth, how can the husband not care, this matter will be stopped." It's the right thing to do when you go back and take good care of your wife. By the way, there are still a lot of supplements on my ship, and I will give you all the supplements. ”

Wen Sanwu was moved, and gave Li Yuan another military salute before leaving the room. Li Yuan also stopped lingering, and asked people to send the supplements over and then turn around and board the ship and leave.

......

The next journey was much smoother, Xiao Rong stayed in Shanghai to continue training the East China Sea Fleet, and Wen Sanwu returned to Chang'an smoothly from Shanghai Port for river boats. Wenyi took the heads of various families who participated in this project to wait at the newly built Chang'an Wharf early. After Wen Sanwu got off the boat, he came directly to Wenyi and handed over the account book and said respectfully: "Qi Wenxiang, everything will go smoothly in the end, and the property obtained will be recorded in the book, please take a look at it." ”

Wenyi took the account book and roughly flipped through it, and the heads of the family behind him also stretched their necks and looked at the account book curiously, and they gasped when they saw the first page, only to see that it was written "One zhang three feet four inches of red coral, the value of which is unknown", "One zhang two feet six inches of blue coral, the value of which is unknown", "Ten rare white bear skins, worth 100,000 taels"...

The literature and art were dazzling, and they simply flipped to the end, which clearly read: "A total of about 89.4 million taels of silver." ”

Everyone was excited and their ears were red, this time there were 6 families participating in the plan, and each family could get more than 12 million taels according to the agreement! This is nearly 10% more family wealth! Which generation of family heads can be strong enough to increase the family wealth by 10%? That's the wealth that has been accumulated by more than ten or even dozens of generations!

Li Huaiyuan, who lacked experience, was the first to say: "A lot of money! Now we really sent it! Haha" such a concise and straightforward expression perfectly spoiled the atmosphere that other family owners had been brewing for a long time. The steady Cui Gan glared at him angrily and said, "How can a child be confused by money, he should spend more time on studying." Are you ready for this year's imperial examination? ”

Lu Chengqing then followed: "The virtuous nephew is young and doesn't feel at ease to study, so he cares so much about money. "Then there is the chatter of the big guys, as if they want to drown this bad boy who spoils the atmosphere with spittle.

In the end, it was the same young literary and artistic round and said: "Uncles and uncles, let's not always stand and chat, please enjoy the light today, how about we go to Yanlai Tower to celebrate?" ”

Li Shousu smiled and answered: "This is true, how can today be a happy day without wine?" Say anything tonight without getting drunk! ”

Everyone applauded, but Li Huaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly wiped the saliva on his face with his sleeve, and obediently followed behind everyone with his tail between his legs, never daring to say a word more. Although Li Huaiyuan is young, he still understands the rules, although he is the person in charge of this matter, but he has gained far more than he imagined, and he is not qualified to be involved in this gang of bigwigs, so he asked his guards to go back quickly to inform the head of the family, Li Mengwei, to go to Yanlai Building to attend the meeting.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone coughed lightly and said: "Uncle, uncle, although I returned with a full load this time, there were some small accidents on the way, and the kid here wants to explain it to you." ”

Cui Gan smiled: "What Wen Xiang said was that the Emperor Taishang robbed the road halfway?" But Wen Xiang doesn't have to worry too much, since the Emperor Taishang has already let him go, it means that he doesn't want to swallow this money alone, let's give him some of it. ”

The rest of the family heads also echoed quite generously.

Wenyi waved his hand and said: "Although the Emperor Taishang doesn't want to swallow it alone, it's not appropriate for us to only give out a part." I came up with an idea, let's divide this treasure according to it, but there is a small condition. ”

Everyone put down their wine glasses and waited seriously for the next chapter of literature and art, literature and art can be called the ghost of the Tang Dynasty, as long as he thinks of a good way, it must be a good way, and it is a good way to make a profit! Be sure to listen carefully!

Literature and Art organized the language and said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Emperor Taishang entrusted me to use this money to invest in some money-making industries, but I thought about it and it was not appropriate to simply invest in shares. Therefore, I would like to implement it in conjunction with His Majesty's Crown Prince Training Plan, so that everyone's interests can be maximized. ”
