Li Jiancheng watched Li Haochen and Li Juan'er come out together, and said with a slight smile: "Haochen, why haven't you come to see me all the time, it turns out that you are accompanied by a beautiful woman, and you have long forgotten me as a prince!" Although it was a joking tone, anyone could hear that the prince's words were full of dissatisfaction at this moment.

Li Haochen listened to Li Jiancheng's words, and naturally could hear this extraneous sound, and he was also a little frightened in his heart, after all, this prince is the prince, if he answered inappropriately today, leaving a bad impression on the prince's heart, I am afraid that the future will not be too easy.

Li Haochen said with a sincere smile on his face: "What is Your Highness talking about, don't say that this girl has nothing to do with me, it is my wife, in my heart, it is also the most important thing for His Royal Highness the Prince, and others cannot compare!" ”

Li Jiancheng is still very satisfied with Li Haochen's reply, but some people are indeed a little unhappy, this person is Li Juan'er, she doesn't have so many twists and turns, listening to Li Haochen and Li Jiancheng's singing and harmony, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and Li Jiancheng said that Li Haochen had an ambiguous relationship with her, and it was annoying that Li Haochen didn't explain It's okay, as soon as he explained, he said that there was a relationship between the two, and the prince was the most important in his heart, so didn't that mean that she was not attractive? Then he stomped his feet angrily, pouted, and ignored the two.

Li Haochen whispered to the prince about Li Juan'er's identity, Li Jiancheng heard that she was Li Jing's daughter, and he didn't care too much about Li Juan'er's rudeness, but smiled and said: "Haochen's trip, what do you want to do?" ”

Li Haochen honestly told Li Jiancheng the purpose of this trip, Li Jiancheng heard that the cotton had fallen, and he didn't dare to stop Li Haochen, Li Jiancheng knew that this cotton matter was not trivial, so he told Li Haochen to let him go to the East Palace to find him after finishing his errands, and he had something to find Li Haochen.

Li Haochen secretly pondered in his heart, and he didn't know what Li Jiancheng was doing to find him, but at the moment he was really anxious to find cotton, so he didn't think too much, Li Jiancheng now trusts him very much, and he will definitely not harm him, so he didn't think too much, in fact, people without foresight must have near-term worries, Li Haochen because he didn't give full consideration to it, resulting in almost killing in the future, of course, this is all a later story.

After Li Haochen and Li Jiancheng separated from each other, they followed Li Juaner and went to find the place where the cotton in Li Juan'er's hand was placed, there were no accidents along the way, and Li Haochen, who was very smooth, got the cotton, and Li Juaner did the handover of the next formalities on the spot, and after obtaining the ownership of the cotton, Li Haochen and Li Juaner did not say too much, and left separately.

Where did Li Juan'er go, Li Haochen didn't know, Li Haochen went to the inn to look for Lu Tong, at the moment Lu Tong was busy looking for the whereabouts of the remaining cotton, and when he saw Li Haochen coming, he showed an embarrassed look, Li Haochen didn't ask him and he knew that the inquiry must not go well, and Lu Tong can't be blamed for this, this part of the cotton is in Li Juan'er's hands, Li Juan'er is Li Jing's daughter, Lu Tong These people are difficult to find out something in a wealthy aristocratic force like Li Jing.

After Lu Tong heard that Li Haochen had found the whereabouts of the cotton, Lu Tong's face became even more ugly, his head was about to fall to the ground, and he knelt down on one knee at Li Haochen and said: "General, my subordinates are not doing things well, please punish the general!" ”

Li Haochen waved his hand at Lu Tong and said, "Get up!" You can't be blamed for this, and your intelligence system hasn't been fully assembled yet. Hurry up and hand over the 350,000 catties of cotton to me, I have to go to Your Majesty today! ”

When Lu Tong heard this, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to a cargo station with Li Haochen and carried out the handover procedures, and then Li Haochen told Lu Tong and the others to be busy for a while, and after getting the money, he would start to set up an intelligence system, and when the time came, he would come over to guide Lu Tong on what to do.

Lu Tong hugged his fists and nodded yes, Li Haochen said goodbye to Lu Tong and entered the Xuanwu Gate, and came to the front of the Taiji Palace.

After Li Haochen saluted Li Yuan, Li Yuan asked him to get up, and then asked with a smile: "Haochen, do you have any good news to bring to me?" ”

Li Haochen hurriedly said respectfully: "The minister has purchased 400,000 catties of cotton, and I would like to return my life to Your Majesty!" ”

Li Yuan's face leaked with joy when he heard this: "You have purchased 400,000 catties of cotton so quickly, which really makes me very pleased, but I don't know what the price is?" What about the quality? ”

Li Haochen didn't hear Li Yuan's meaningful words, but said honestly: "The price is about twelve times that of a few days ago, and the quality minister has checked them one by one, and there is no problem!" So come and report to Your Majesty! Please also ask Your Majesty to approve the allocation of funds for the purchase of cotton by the Ministry of Households, and the transaction will be made! ”

Li Yuan smiled and nodded: "Okay, if you can't do it, I will immediately order Shangshu Province to order the household department to handle this matter immediately." ”

Li Haochen didn't know that he had just escaped a murderous disaster, he didn't know that Li Yuan was in Chang'an, the founding emperor who was weakened by the history books, but it was really not that simple, Li Yuan already knew who this cotton was, which is why he handed over this matter that should have been handled by civil officials to Li Haochen, Li Haochen gave Li Juaner fifteen times the price of the transaction, when the transaction was completed, Li Yuan had already received the news, and he was very dissatisfied with Li Haochen's upper limit transaction against his price. He had already thought about it, and he wanted to find an excuse to let Li Haochen spit out the money he spent.

However, Li Yuan did not expect that Li Haochen quoted him twelve times the price, you must know that this price is very fair, if it is now the same place to transport cotton, plus the cost of freight, I am afraid that the price will not be much higher than this price, and at the same time delay time, and there are not many farmers who plant cotton in Datang, even if Li Haochen's 400,000 catties of cotton are not sold to the imperial court and sold to the Turks, the income is far higher than the twelve times that he said, Li Yuan thought that Li Haochen was going to make a fortune and was naturally unhappy. But after careful calculation, Li Haochen is actually saving money for the entire Tang Dynasty in disguise, if it weren't for his massive hoarding of cotton, those farmers would know that the imperial court was going to buy a large amount of cotton, and they would inevitably raise prices, and the final price might be more than 20 times, and it would take a lot of time. Now this problem has been easily solved, and the price is still a relatively low price, which makes Li Yuan not only understand what Li Haochen has done, but also full of good feelings.

After Li Yuan and Li Haochen briefly explained a few words, Li Haochen went to the household department to handle the follow-up delivery procedures, and this mighty cotton harvesting incident came to an end, which also made Li Haochen have the first pot of gold in the Tang Dynasty, which is of great significance.
