"There will be no such problems in the future, and there will be rewards for paying in Datang, which you can rest assured." Holding the wine cup and saluting the meeting, Li Chengqian said meaningfully.

"Your Highness, the minister wants to know, can my Khitan people really have the same treatment as the Tang people in the future?" Mo Hui picked up the wine cup, stared at Li Chengqian and asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, what Datang needs is your loyalty, not anything else. Your cattle and sheep, if Datang needs them, will exchange them for items of equivalent value, and you will not suffer unwarranted losses. Li Chengqian swore a promise.

But what exactly would be an equivalent item? The values of each are different, and the equivalent of the item will naturally be different.

For example, in Li Chengqian's view, exchanging spirits for horses is equivalent, or exchanging silk and porcelain for cattle and sheep is also equivalent.

Of course, it is the most equivalent to exchange the right of residence in the Datang Pass for the Khitan warriors to fight for the Tang Dynasty.

"I hope Datang will keep his promise." Mo Hui drank all the three pulps in the wine cup and said abruptly.

"As long as you can put yourself in the right position, Datang's promise will be valid forever." Li Chengqian endorsed the future as the crown prince.

Next, Li Chengqian and the others rationally changed the topic and stopped talking about Khitan affairs.

They are all smart people, and it is enough to talk about this, everyone's bottom line has been explained very clearly, and the specific details do not need to be discussed by those of them who are superior.

As the last Khitan drunkard fell on his back, Li Chengqian finally ended his day's mission and returned to the palace.

"How's the catch?" In the Lizheng Hall, Li Er asked Li Chengqian with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

In the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, those Khitans are really no different from the accumulation of tasteless food and discarded pity, if it were not for the desire for land and territory, he would not accept the Khitan annexation at all.

"It's not bad, if nothing else, we'll have 20,000 more string controllers." Li Chengqian motioned to the palace maid to get some tea, and then said with a smile to the old man.

"Twenty thousand string controllers? Are you sure? Li Er's face gradually became serious, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Father, this is a crime of bullying the king, how dare the sons talk nonsense." got rid of the Khitans, which made Li Chengqian more or less carried away, and talked to the old man a lot more casually.

Li Er smacked his lips, not caring about Li Chengqian's attitude, as the king of a country, except for the eldest grandson queen, few people talked to him like this.

After pondering for a moment, Li Er asked, "How much do you pay for 20,000 string controllers?" ”

"The price? If the right of residence in Datang is considered a price, I am afraid it is a lot. Holding the tea presented by the palace maid, Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Datang's right of residence?" Li Er repeated in a low voice, raised his eyes and swept over Li Chengqian, hesitated and said, "It's that simple?" ”

Li Chengqian smiled and talked about the communication with the Khitans, and finally concluded: "Father, it's really that simple. Your status is too high, and they don't dare to negotiate terms with you, so if you don't go, I'm afraid that these guys won't dare to talk to you until they die. ”

"Well, if you can really increase the cavalry by 20,000 this time, I will remember your merits." Looking at Li Chengqian's triumphant appearance, Li Er said with a smile.

"Father, let's not talk about the merits, you are giving a few official positions with products, and the sons and daughters are very short of manpower." The old man was in a good mood, and Li Chengqian hurriedly took the opportunity to roll around to ask for benefits.

"Didn't you just give you three places last time, why do you want more?" Li Er asked vigilantly.

It's not that Lao Li suspects that Li Chengqian has any bad intentions, but he is really afraid that he will buy and sell officials and mess up the rules and regulations of the imperial court.

"Three is enough, Shandong is building roads, running children's schools, Chang'an's water supervision, carbon division, cement factory, that doesn't need manpower. People, if you don't give it to the emperor, let the sons and daughters find it themselves, and the officials will give a few. Li Chengqian grimaced and continued to play tricks.

"Okay, okay, come back to me when you need it, and besides, if it's okay, you can go." Li Er had no choice but to be entangled by Li Chengqian, so he simply nodded and agreed.

"Yes, there's one more thing." Li Chengqian, who got up to leave, suddenly remembered something from a long time ago, and hurriedly said: "That Su Gan Chengji is good, if my father needs manpower, it is better to transfer it." ”

"Gang Chengji?" Li Er frowned and thought about it, but he really didn't think of it, but he still asked suspiciously with his intuition: "What the hell is your kid going on?" Who in the Manchu Dynasty doesn't know that you belong to Pixiu, and when good things enter your mouth and spit out? ”

Pixiu, the ninth son of the Dragon King, has a mouth but no anus, and the local dialect is called eating without pulling, which is generally used to describe the army, but if it is used to describe people, there is no other synonym except for stinginess.

"Father, what you said hurts people, Su Gan Chengji's ministers just felt that they had wronged him by staying by their side, so they handed it back to your father." Li Chengqian held back the complaining emotions in his heart and said with a snort.

"Come on, don't say it, I understand what you mean, that Sugan Chengji will transfer him to the frontier to defend the city when he turns around, you don't have to worry about it." Li Er didn't give Li Chengqian a chance to continue the ink, and after interrupting him, he waved his hand and motioned for him to leave quickly.

Li Chengqian's cheating method gave Lao Li a headache, people he didn't like, or who were not easy to use, could rightly recommend it to his own Lao Tzu, which had to be done by the son of a cheating father.

"By the way, father, there is still one thing for the sons...... although the old man gave the order to expel the guests, Li Chengqian still planned to ink.

"Get out of here." Li Er, who was wondering how cheating Li Chengqian was, slapped the table angrily, and the frightened Li Chengqian directly hugged his head and ran away.

Leaving the Lizheng Hall and turning his head to see that the old man had not chased him out, Li Chengqian patted his chest with confidence, and a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The tea cup in his hand is exquisitely made, and it should be able to fetch an unimaginable sky-high price in the future, even in Datang, if you get a set, it should be worth a lot of money.

But now...... It's not a set anymore, because Li Chengqian will never return this teacup to the old man, and it will not be in line with Pixiu's character if he returns it.

"Your Highness, this teacup in your hand belongs to His Majesty's palace, right?" Wang Chenghu looked at the teacup in Li Chengqian's hand, and asked suspiciously, the simple guy couldn't understand why the emperor's teacup was taken out of the Lizheng Palace.

"Shh Li Chengqian made a silent gesture to Wang Chenghu, and quietly instructed: "Remember, as soon as this teacup came out of the Lizheng Palace, it was broken because Your Highness fell down, and you don't know where the 'corpse' is, understand?" ”
