Chapter 359: The Rice Rush Battle
"Virtuous nephew, how much is this rice?"
"It should be 500,000 catties."
"Really?"
"No less."
"Hahaha......" The smile on Li Daozong's face became even stronger, patted Cheng Chubi's shoulder, and said: "You are really the God of Wealth of this king, you are really the God of Wealth of this king, hahaha......"
500,000 catties of grain, if this is exchanged for money, how much money will it be?
Cheng Chubi secretly despised in his heart, you are also a king anyway, and you are still so greedy for money, are you embarrassed? Are you really embarrassed?
"Uncle Wang, although this grain is good, it can't be eaten." Cheng Chubi hurriedly said.
"Hey, since it's food, why can't you eat it? Could it be that San Lang has committed this hysteria again? Li Daozong stroked his beard, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
"If this rice is left for a long time, it will rot and deteriorate, and people will have problems when they eat it, and these rice will be put for more than ten or twenty years, this is poisoned rice, not for people to eat." Cheng Chubi sighed and said, "If you eat it, you will die!" Could it be that Uncle Wang wants to be convicted of a profiteer? ”
"Really?" Li Daozong also didn't believe it.
"How dare I lie to you?" Cheng Chubi continued, and said: "It's like this beef and mutton, when it is just slaughtered, the meat is fresh, but after a long time, it will rot and it will not be able to eat, and the same is true for this grain." ”
"Since it's poisoned rice, let's burn it." Li Daozong said, and wanted to order people to burn all the expired grain.
"No!" Cheng Chubi hurriedly blocked the exit.
"Huh?" Li Daozong was puzzled, since it was poisonous, what did he keep it for?
"Uncle Wang doesn't know, I took these rice back to feed the pigs, there are some poisonous things, we will be poisoned if we eat them, but for these pigs, chickens and the like, it is very rich." Cheng Chubi opened his mouth and said, "For example, things like swill that we don't eat are rare and delicious for pigs." ”
"Uncle Wang doesn't know, in dozens of villages outside Chang'an, I have established pig farms, chicken farms, sheep farms, cattle farms, and duck farms. When the harvest comes, it will definitely be able to monopolize the meat market in the entire Chang'an City, and it will not be a problem to earn 10,000 gold a day at that time. Cheng Chubi showed a hint of smugness on his face.
"So, you're here looking for food?"
"Yes!"
"Hahaha......" Suddenly, Li Daozong laughed and said: "Clever, smart, you are simply too smart, wise if stupid, wise if stupid." ”
"Li Qing! You immediately go to the villages outside Luoyang City to find a place, and this king will also build a pig workshop, a chicken workshop and a goose workshop, and leave me tens of thousands of catties of grain here! Li Daozong looked extremely happy.
Raising pigs and ducks at home, even if Li Shimin is jealous of himself, he can't help himself, maybe he will feel guilty, hahaha......
Suddenly, he felt that Cheng Chubi was really the smartest person in the world.
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but be stunned, what is this?
However, Li Daozong didn't care about Cheng Zhibi, he came quickly, walked quickly, and disappeared without a trace in a few minutes.
"Is there something wrong with your father's brain?" Cheng Chubi couldn't help but say.
"You've got a problem with your brain!" Li Xueyan glared at Cheng Chubi fiercely and said.
"I've got a problem with my brain, do you have medicine?" Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes, forget it, let's take advantage of the cool weather and sleep for a while.
At this time, the grain has been excavated and stored for more than 20 years, some of these rice grains are already rotten, and some are actually still edible, but this thing is carcinogenic, and Cheng Chubi does not dare to eat it.
However, before Cheng Chubi fell asleep, Cheng Di came again, making Cheng Chubi unable to sleep for a while.
"The princess sent someone?" Cheng Chubi asked.
"Not yet." Cheng Di replied.
"And what do you have to report on this?"
"Horses, a group of grain merchants have come out and are willing to buy our grain at a high price."
"It's all money?"
"Two hundred wen!"
"Don't buy, don't sell." Cheng Chubi waved his hand and said, "Don't say twenty yuan and one stone, even if it is twenty yuan and one stone, we can't buy it!" We can't do this kind of immoral business! ”
These profiteers have such a sensitive nose.
"Donkey, that's two hundred dollars and one stone!" Cheng Di looked very reluctant.
"Drive them away! Even if Lao Tzu is short of money, he will not do this kind of business! Cheng Chubi showed a trace of anger on his face, and said: "If this rice is spread out, more people are afraid of death!" ”
Cheng Di also knew that this matter was not simple, so he hurriedly drove away all the profiteers who came to hear the news.
When night fell, Cheng Chubi didn't bother to pay attention to Li Xueyan, he stayed here for two days, and his body was already stinky, so he had to finish the things here, and then go back to have a good warming.
In the deep palace.
The oil lamp flickered and flickered, and after taking the pill, Li Shimin felt that the whole person became extremely excited.
Although Li Shimin did not leave the palace, it does not mean that he does not know about the things outside the palace.
Holding an official document in his hand, his whole face became quite ugly.
After a few minutes, he looked at Li Zhong and asked, "What you said about this Yu'er's paperwork, is it true or fake?" Is this Western Turkic army really pressed in? ”
"Your Majesty, it should be true, the Chai family is loyal to Your Majesty." Li Zhong hurriedly said.
"But......" Li Shimin always has a thorn in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Wu Meiniang said next to her.
Li Shimin said: "Say it." ”
"In the thousands of years of China, has there ever been a woman who has been the emperor?" Wu Meiniang asked.
"This ...... Naturally, there is no such thing. Li Shimin thought for a while and said.
"Your Majesty, will all the people agree to a woman to be the emperor?" The smile on the corner of Wu Meiniang's mouth became even stronger.
"It's okay for a woman to teach her husband and children at home, but it's ridiculous for this woman to be the emperor." Li Shimin also felt funny, how could the emperor of the world have a woman?
"In that case, what else is Your Majesty worried about?"
"yes, maybe I'm thinking too much." Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Order Chai Shao to lead the affairs of the Northwest Dao, and order Yu'er to be the general manager of Shuofang, no matter what, this territory of the Tang Dynasty will definitely not allow the Turks to invade my Tang territory again!" ”
"Whoa." Li Zhong replied and wrote down the matter.
"Sage, how to solve that matter?" Li Zhong asked.
"How long can this grain be stored?"
"The longest is seven or eight years."
"Yes, it's all bad grain for more than ten or twenty years, what is the use of it?" Li Shimin's face showed a hint of contemplation.
