Li Yun's words were so simple that everyone in the room could understand them almost as soon as they heard them, and even Master Zu was nodding frequently, obviously very pleased with the knowledge of the disciple Sun.

However, Li Yun suddenly smiled, and suddenly stretched out his chopsticks while the ancestor was not paying attention, and he successfully stole the treasure from the grandfather's bowl, which was a piece of pig ears that he had been staring at for a long time.

Haha laughing, proudly holding the pig's ears with chopsticks, Li Shimin was about to scold angrily, Li Yun suddenly opened his mouth again, pretending to be serious: "For example, this piece of pig ears, let's see him as the profit of the Silk Road, I like to eat, and Master Zu also likes to eat, but I can't beat Master Zu by force, but I am reluctant to give up this good thing, what should I do?" Definitely do everything. Whether it's stealing or cheating, you have to get it in your hands anyway, am I the guts? Am I greedy? Neither, it's all the same, it's still the old saying, people die for money, birds die for food, if we make a fortune on the Silk Road, it will inevitably attract the greed and covetousness of the bold......"

After a pause, he continued: "When I can't beat Master Zu, I will steal it while he is not paying attention, but what about when I can beat Master Zu?" I'm likely to use force to grab ......"

"I see!" Li Shimin subconsciously spoke, and said with a trance: "The Silk Road is the same, since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts, when they can't beat us, they will do everything they can to deceive and deceive, and when they can defeat us by force, they will definitely directly use force to kill people and rob money." ”

Li Yun nodded with a smile and said, "What the second master said is exactly my estimate and prediction. ”

Saying that, he picked up the pig's ear with chopsticks, and said as if he sighed: "The wealth is like this pig's ear, and it is your own when you eat it in your mouth......"

Suddenly thrown into the mouth, chewed slowly, and ate crunchy, fragrant and refreshing.

Li Shimin looked at him in a daze, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, and scolded with a smile: "It turns out that you used pig ears as an analogy, and I almost blamed you for being a stinky boy." But even so, you are still disrespectful, and the next time you want to make an analogy, find something else, and never steal it from the old immortal master's bowl. Remember? This is the way to respect the teacher. ”

Turning his head to look at Dao Tong, he explained very respectfully: "The old immortal master is still not strange, this stinky boy is just used for an analogy." Although his behavior is disrespectful, he will be allowed to return. ”

Dao Tong's face was leisurely, and he nodded at Li Shimin.

Master Zu seemed to have listened to the emperor's persuasion, and Yun Danfeng said that it was okay, but Master Zu immediately looked at Li Yun, and said with a smile: "If you want to eat, just say eat, and there will be no next time if you dare to play tricks, Poor Dao had a bad temper when he was young, and his favorite thing to do was to scrape people with big ears, good disciple Sun, do you want to try whether Poor Dao's slap is loud?" ”

Li Yunden shook his head like a rattle.

Just kidding, let me see if your slap doesn't make a sound?

Don't look at my copper muscles and iron bones, claiming to have inherited innate divine power, but if you slap you in the face, I'm afraid you can directly pull out half of your brain.

His face was a little scornful, knowing that Master Zu had seen through his ghost tricks.

Although he told the planning of the Silk Road from the heart, he also came from the heart when he stole the pig ears of his ancestors, and the reason why he used the pig ears as a metaphor was nothing more than to find an excuse for his brazenness.

It's a pity that he can't hide it from everyone, but he can't hide it from the old ancestor.

The old man has lived for more than a hundred years, and he is almost an immortal existence, uh no, he is about to become an immortal.

……

At this time, Li Shimin spoke again, and said thoughtfully: "With the map given by the old immortal master, we don't have to worry about the route guidance of the Silk Road, and your Bohai Kingdom Goguryeo is responsible for the production of materials, and it will inevitably be able to build a huge caravan. This is not a trivial matter, and I can't straighten my waist for several years after losing once. ”

Li Xiaogong next to him couldn't help nodding, his eyes flashed with Sen Sen's murderous intention, and said: "It's better to send a large army to escort and protect the caravan westward, after all, it involves huge profits, and the use of troops should also be shared." ”

Li Shimin's face was dull, and he looked a little difficult to decide.

The emperor was still just groaning, but Li Yun had already shook his head again and again, and said solemnly: "It's not appropriate, and it's not realistic. ”

Li Xiaogong frowned and looked at Li Yun.

Li Yun smiled and explained: "Since ancient times, there has never been a sword rattling in business, even if it is secretly swords, but on the bright side, we must maintain a harmonious atmosphere and make money, if we send a large army, the first impression will not be good." It can even cause misunderstandings and make other countries think that they want to invade. ”

Li Xiaogong sneered and said: "This is a child's words, the world is originally the strong is king, as long as the fist is hard enough, who dares to bare his teeth and disagree." ”

Li Yun nodded and said, "What Uncle said makes sense, but we still can't send a large army." ”

Li Xiaogong was slightly stunned, and said in amazement: "Why is this? ”

Li Yun first glanced at Master Zu and found that Master Zu had no intention of explaining, Li Yun had no choice but to take a light breath and continue to explain: "I have already said just now, doing business pays attention to harmony and wealth, even if it is only on the surface of harmony and wealth, we have to pretend to be presentable, so the army must not be dispatched......"

Without waiting for Li Xiaogong to speak, he followed and said: "Of course, this is only one of the reasons, and it is not a crucial factor in not sending a large army, what is the real reason?" The real reason is the logistics and supply of the army. ”

Li Xiaogong was obviously stunned, and then his face was a little real.

At this time, Li Shimin exhaled lightly, obviously the reason why the emperor has not opened his mouth is also this.

Li Yun suddenly put the dishes and chopsticks on the ground, then slowly got up and occupied them, and said again: "Since you want to reopen the Silk Road, it must not be a small fight, I have a preliminary budget before, and I will generally build a caravan of 100,000 people, use ox carts, at least 30,000, transport goods over 1 million, and travel at least 10,000 miles. ”

Li Xiaogong was dumbfounded, everyone in the room was speechless, even Li Shimin was a little shocked, no one expected Li Yun's handwriting to be so big.

Only Daotong Grandpa looked indifferent, it seems that the Silk Road should do this, in fact, if you think about it, you can understand that Grandpa Zu's vision is the same as Li Yun's, and in later generations, Yuanmao and commercial affairs will often be millions of tons, and Li Yun's scale of 30,000 ox carts is actually not as much as a freighter.

But this was already an epoch-making grand undertaking in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yun spoke again, looked at Li Xiaogong, and said with a smile: "A caravan of 100,000 people, it sounds shocking, indeed, it is huge, but there is a price to be paid, for example, the problem of eating can make people worry to death." ”

Li Xiaogong is the king of Hejian County, and when he heard this, he almost instantly understood everything, and couldn't help nodding and said: "100,000 people, 30,000 carts, just people eat horses and chew, you get countless grains and grass every day, you use 30,000 ox carts to form a caravan, at least 3,000 ox carts need to load grain, these grains are not transported out for sale, but the rations that the caravan population must be equipped with." ”

"Yes, someone has to eat and drink!"

Li Yun slowly spit out a mouthful, and said a little helplessly: "Three thousand ox carts of grain may not be enough, I am going to load five thousand carts of grain when I set off for the first time, there is an old saying among the people, called the poor family is rich on the road, even if the poor at home eat bran vegetables, go out for a long trip to prepare enough coils, no matter how rich you are when you travel, because no one can ensure that there will be unexpected problems on the road." ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looked at Li Xiaogong and said, "Now that you understand, we don't have the ability to send a large army." ”

Li Xiaogong nodded again, a little disappointed: "Just the grain and grass of the caravan, you have to need 5,000 vehicles, if you send a large army to escort, the grain and grass of the army must also be equipped, the army is not enough, if you want to protect a caravan of 100,000 people, you have to send at least 20,000 elites, the soldiers eat more than ordinary people, 20,000 elites are at least 30,000 ordinary people, if you add the consumption of mounts and horses, this is indeed a powerless thing." ”

After saying this, his face was pale, and his eyebrows were faintly blue, obviously he was worried to the extreme, this king of Hejian County was a descendant of the royal family, and he was indeed sincerely planning for the Tang Dynasty.

Not only Li Xiaogong, but also other people, being able to enter this room to discuss things means that they are close to their descendants, although there is also noise for the sake of interests, but behind closed doors, they are all family.

The atmosphere was faintly depressing.

After a long time passed, I heard Li Xiaogong speak again, and said slowly: "If we don't send a large army to escort it, how can we ensure the safety of the caravan?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Yun, and said with concern: "You yourself said that people die for money, birds die for food, since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts, and caravans without force protection are obviously robbed by others." ”

Li Yun slowly raised his head, as if staring at the roof, everyone thought he was worried, but he suddenly heard Li Yun smile leisurely, and said with deep meaning: "Doing business, pay attention to harmony and make money, so we will not send a large army, so that all countries in the world can feel the generosity of the Han people, they buy things, we make a lot of money, everyone is happy, and become a harmonious trading partner." ”

"What if they don't want to be friends?" Li Shimin suddenly spoke, and the emperor seemed to be cooperating with Li Yun to continue.

Li Yun still raised his head, and said leisurely: "If you don't want to be a friend, that's very easy to do, whoever dares to hand over the claws, then cut off whoever ......"

"What about the force of the claw?" Li Shimin spoke again, this time he didn't know if he deliberately cooperated, and asked as if he was curious: "Since you don't send a large army to escort the caravan, I ask where did your force come from?" ”

Oh, yes?

Where does force come from?

This is also what the room full of people want to ask Li Yun.
