Chapter 198: Giving Advice

When Li Tai put the glass ball that he snatched from Jia Yi's hand today on the desk in front of Li Er, he glanced at Li Chengqian, ready to wait for his father's praise, but after waiting for a long time, he found that there was no movement on the desk, and when he looked up, he found that Li Er's face was full of strange expressions, and he couldn't help but wonder why Li Er was indifferent after seeing such a treasure.

"This glass ball was asked by you Jia Yi and that kid to take it back to me?"

"How is it possible, how could that stupid boy think that this glass ball is a rare treasure, he still used this glass ball to exchange for Hetian jade today, if I didn't see the opportunity quickly, maybe my father might not be able to see such exquisite glass."

Li Tai was extremely proud to tell Li Er about his exploits today, but instead of any smile on Li Er's face, there was a tendency to change towards pitch black.

"Cheng Qian, do you know the true value of this glass ball?"

"Erchen doesn't know, but Erchen has a guess."

"Then why didn't you remind the blue finch."

"Erchen was very excited to see the fourth brother playing with the glass ball, and he really couldn't bear to let him bear such a blow, so he didn't say anything to remind him, Erchen knew his mistake and asked his father to punish him."

Li Er glanced at Li Chengqian, and saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and the black gas on his face slowly dissipated a little, and said to Li Chengqian lightly: "You are the prince and the elder brother, and it is indeed your fault to see your younger brother in the dark and not know how to warn him. ”

"Erchen has saved it."

"Well, you can cut off."

Li Chengqian slowly retreated, although he didn't get any praise, but he didn't get any bad reviews, which made Li Chengqian feel a lot more relieved, and quickly left Li Er's dormitory and walked briskly in the direction of the East Palace.

Li Er knew that his throne was won by fratricide, so he hoped that after a hundred years, there would be no brotherly rivalry, so he had been committed to the education of allowing the princes to support each other, but this education did not seem to be very successful.

The throne is a position that can make people crazy, in everyone's cognition, the throne represents the supreme right and the endless wealth, so as long as there is a chance to become the emperor, everyone will try their best to fight for it, so Li Er's efforts are destined to be in vain.

Although the way the princes put together for education did not play its due role, Li Er never slacked off in separate education, and this kind of education did achieve great success, at least so that every prince has a certain understanding and cognition of the emperor's art.

"Qingque, come here." Li Er beckoned to Li Tai, who was standing in front of him, and motioned for Li Tai to come forward.

When Li Tai came to Li Er, he found that there was a beautiful glass vessel at Li Er's feet, compared to the glass ball he sent, this glass vessel was undoubtedly a thousand times better, and Li Tai was a little embarrassed for a while, and lowered his arrogant head.

"Qingque, this glass is no longer a valuable treasure in our Datang, because someone in our Datang has developed a method for manufacturing glass, and founded a glass factory, this glass ware at my feet is the output of the workshop, it can be said that you can have as much as you want."

"Glass Workshop?"

Li Tai's face was full of shock, in a fashionable phrase, he Li Tai is now an otter, everyone else is holding the glazed pit those Hu merchants, but he is holding the glazed pit himself, thanks to the fact that the person who is talking to him now is Li Er, who loves him, if it were another emperor, he would have thrown the beads out for you a long time ago, and of course he had to bring himself.

"Exactly, the glazed workshop, as long as I want, can produce countless glazed ware, their value is much less than before, and now the only role of the glazed ware is to exchange it for the most valuable things from the hands of the Hu people."

At this moment, Li Tai finally understood why Jia Yihui was willing to take out these glass beads in exchange for more exquisite and valuable goods, but he didn't have any good feelings about this glass ball.

"The person who founded the glass workshop is Jia Yi who took you shopping in Dongshi today, I think it must be your cold temperament that makes this kid rebellious, so I deliberately don't tell you."

"This Jia Yi is really bold, Erchen will go to him to ask for an explanation." Li Tai was angry, he was very angry that Jia Yi didn't tell him about this matter today, which made him a big ugly person in front of Li Er.

"Qingque, if you have been treating talented people with this attitude, maybe you can make them succumb for a while, but it is impossible to use their talents for you, not to mention that they will do their best to help you, so it is time for you to change your temperament."

Li Tai expressed a high enough agreement with every word Li Er said, since Li Er said so, he also began to think positively, and no longer considered whether he was cheated by someone This kind of boring idea, when he really corrected his attitude, he found that even if he was asked to stand in Jia Yi's point of view, he would do so.

"Okay, take these glass balls, and go to the market tomorrow to exchange for treasures, I'm really looking forward to your return with treasures."

Li Tai stretched out his hand to pick up the glass ball on the table, bowed slightly to Li Er, even if he had said goodbye, he turned around and walked out of Li Er's bedroom.

After Li Chengqian came out of Li Er's dormitory, he stopped in the East Palace for a while, and then walked out of the palace and came to Jiafu, although the arrival of the Hu people brought a lot of exquisite goods to Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, but it also brought a huge problem, that is, how to solve the idea that the Hu people always coveted the land of the Tang Dynasty.

Jia Yi, who had just returned to Jiafu, had just sat down to rest and drink saliva, and before he could even out his breath, Li Chengqian's figure appeared in his sight.

"His Royal Highness the Prince." Hurriedly got up from the recliner and saluted Li Chengqian.

"Brother Jia doesn't need to be polite, the lonely king just came to ask Brother Jia for advice."

"Prince, but it's okay to talk about it."

Li Chengqian sorted out his thoughts a little and then told the questions he had thought of.

"Hu people buckle the border since ancient times, from the Han Dynasty, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and then there is a huge historical disaster like the five Hu chaohua, and then experience the Sui Dynasty, until now, the Hu people buckle the border thing still happens from time to time, I don't know if Brother Jia can have an effective way to deal with it."

Jia Yi positioned himself as a small businessman from the beginning, so he basically didn't think much about this kind of militaristic affairs, but it doesn't matter whether it is the Hu people who buckle the edge or the Hu people invade China, it is nothing more than a word, interests, the Hu people who buckle the edge are relatively small interests, that is, grain and iron supplies, and this kind of buckle mostly occurs in the late autumn, because the grain at that time has just matured and harvested, and it is the time when the grain is the richest, and the buckle can get the most grain at that time. Only in this way can we ensure that they will not starve to death in winter because they have no food to eat.

The invasion of China is for the sake of great interests, encroaching on the fertile plains, not suffering from natural and man-made disasters, grazing and planting in warm places, and extending their people, this is their most fundamental idea.

In fact, regardless of whether it is a big interest or a small interest, in the final analysis, it is just to let their ethnic group be continued, for this kind of response, Jia Yi has a way, that is, to buy cattle, sheep and horses from the Hu people, and then sell them grain, cloth and tea, iron tools cannot be sold, otherwise the careerists among the Hu people will inevitably seize this point, wantonly rein in the iron tools, waiting for the opportunity to launch an attack on the Tang, this is the nature of some Hu people, it cannot be changed in a short time.

"Prince, I have an immature idea here, you can listen to it, that is, to communicate with the Hu people, of course, it is impossible to sell iron tools to them, but you can buy cattle, sheep and horses from them, and we provide them with some daily necessities such as food, salt and tea, to ensure that they can continue their lives well regardless of whether they are in the disaster year or in the peace year, I think that regardless of whether they are Hu people or Tang people, when life is rich, no one should be willing to go to war for that little money."

Of course, there is also a kind of national integrity that Jia Yi did not say, people with national integrity will not care about their own state of existence, what they want is only to pay their strength or life for the better development and survival of the entire nation, if they encounter this kind of person, maybe force suppression is the best choice.

Li Chengqian lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and felt that Jia Yi's method was really good, after thanking Jia Yi, he returned to the palace and drafted the "Book of Shang Hu" overnight, which has countless loopholes, but it can be regarded as finding a direction to solve the problem.

After sending Li Chengqian away, Jia Yi didn't dare to stay in Jiafu any longer, it was safer in the manor, and the horse galloped in the direction of the manor, followed by a few guards, since he was ambushed when he came back with Qin Huaiyu last time, and now even if it is from the manor to Chang'an City, Jia Yi will bring at least two guards with him, in order to be prepared.

Smoothly returned to the manor, Jia Er just sorted out the gold, silver, jewelry and all kinds of treasures exchanged from Chang'an City today, and put them in the warehouse, seeing Jia Yi come back, Jia Er put the register in Jia Yi's hand, except for some utensils today, the rest is all exchanged by Jia Er, Jia Yi wants to see what Jia Er has changed.
