Chapter 231 People must become good when they are old

[Add more for yesterday's helmsman, go to work, just change less, don't mind]

"Miti? Didn't Midi develop by technology? "In the impression of the hawker, Midi is a symbol of high technology, far from it, take the mobile phone as an example, the same price, do you buy a fruit machine or buy coarse grains?

Hearing such an idiotic answer from the peddler, the old man hated that iron could not become steel, "You, forget it, today's children have also looked at Midi in the past few years, you must know that in the years of Midi's development, it was dark."

"Oh, Midi still has this black history, you tell me about it"

"Well, you also know that Midi was also a small number of people at the beginning, in order to solve the situation of insufficient population, they waved money everywhere and let people catch slaves everywhere, and now they have so many black people who have been caught in the first place, of course, some banana people who have been passed down for three or four generations also passed through that time"

When the old man said this, the peddler understood a little, "You mean that we are also going to catch slaves, to Africa?" That's a bit far."

The old man shook his head, "You don't have to go to Africa, if I'm not mistaken, there should be a lot of unstable countries around Datang now, let's go to them to catch them."

The peddler thought for a moment, "What you said is feasible, but there is a problem, if we catch it ourselves, then it is better to go directly to the war, even get the people and land back, and by the way, it is better to feed the war with war?" ”

Lao Xie pointed his finger at the peddler, "You, you love impulsiveness when you are young, and your majesty is the same today, is the war so easy to fight, it won't be a little roundabout"

Looking at the confusion on the peddler's face, the old man said directly, "The relationship between these restless countries is complicated, and no one is convinced, why don't you take advantage of such a good opportunity?"

"How?"

"Money, think about it, if Datang secretly issues some slave arrest decrees, how much money does it cost to catch a slave and send it to Datang, sacrifice a little interest, and let these small countries fight each other, so that it can not only consume the enemy's vitality but also enrich Datang, kill more birds with one stone, why not do it?"

Hearing the old man's argument, the vendor clapped his hands, "Black, it's so dark, why didn't you think of it?"

Lao Xie "That's because you have lived a short time and have seen less, but it's easy to say, but it's still a little difficult to do"

"What's the difficulty?"

"It is whether Datang's current finances can support such a big strategic move"

This is indeed a problem, the peddler touched his chin and thought for a while, if it is calculated according to the five yuan of a slave, there are at least 10 million people in the surrounding countries who can be caught, even if they can't catch so much for a while and a half, then they will need financial support of one or two million, where can Datang find so much money now?

After thinking about it for a long time, the peddler's eyes lit up, and suddenly a good idea flashed: "By the way, you said that if we don't pay with precious metals, let's print some money and use this thing as a bounty, okay?" ”

"What, you haven't carried out currency reform until now, and you've been trading with precious metals."

"Uh-huh"

Lao Xie was heartbroken, "I said that you have wasted all the past few years, if you carry out currency reform as soon as possible, let Datang use paper money as soon as possible, it will not be the same as it is now"

The hawker looked helpless, "I can't help it, I've been thinking about it, although the key banknote is good, but I don't understand."

Lao Xie waved his hand, "Forget it, don't say it, I'll do my best to help you."

"That's great, in this way, tomorrow I will take you to face the saint, you tell the emperor what you think, there are many people over there, you can do it with your staff, I am responsible for helping you build a machine or something"

Lao Xie nodded, "It seems that this is the only way, by the way, let me ask, how big can you bring?" “

"It's hard to say, if you have something for me to bring, it's not a problem to bring a battleship"

Lao Xie almost didn't pull over, "I'll sleep first, call me tomorrow"

The next morning, Lao Xie got up earlier than the hawker, and the next man brought breakfast to Lao Jie, and after eating a few bites, the old man hurriedly asked the hawker to go to the court together. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

On the way, Lao Xie pulled his clothes from time to time, "Dabao, it's okay for me to dress like this, the emperor doesn't pick thorns, right?" ”

"It's okay, I've always dressed like this"

The two of them came to the main hall, all the ministers arrived, Li Er hadn't come yet, and when he saw the national teacher bringing an old man he didn't know, the eldest grandson Wuji came over to greet him, "The national teacher is early, who is this?" ”

The vendor stretched out his hand to introduce Lao Xie "This is my grandfather in the second room, Xie Lao, this is the eldest grandson Wuji, you know"

As soon as Lao Xie heard that the one in front of him was actually the eldest grandson Wuji, he was so excited that he couldn't stand anymore, "Eldest grandson envoy, see you, the old man is fortunate to have three lives, this is polite" The old interpreter said and replied to the eldest grandson Wuji with a decent salute.

The eldest grandson Wuji helped Lao Xie "You don't have to be polite, Your Majesty hasn't come yet, you can sit down for a while"

Lao Xie waved his hand again and again, "No, no, the old man can still hold on"

Although Lao Xie said that he could hold it, but looking at the various historical celebrities who came to talk like a marquee in front of him, it didn't take long for the hawker to feel that the old man's head was steaming like a madman in practice.

"Lao Jie, are you okay, why don't we rest for a while?"

Lao Xie waved his hand, "No, no, I'm excited, there are so many powerful characters, it's really an eye-opener to see them, don't say it, Your Majesty is here"

The peddler took a look, and sure enough, he saw Li Er coming in from the corner gate, and after Li Er sat down, the eunuch began to routinely shout that there was something to do in the morning, and there was nothing to retreat!

Under normal circumstances, this is all nonsense, it's okay, who wants to go to work, after the eunuch shouted, the ministers began to talk about the government in turn, Lao Xie and the hawker sat on the side and listened, a court meeting came down, Lao Xie roughly understood the situation in the Tang Dynasty, after all, I listened to the hawker, I don't know clearly, now I participate in the government, I know what the Tang Dynasty is anxious about now!

Li Er finished discussing the government and looked at the hawker, in fact, he had seen the person brought by the hawker a long time ago, but he kept holding back and didn't ask, he was distracted several times during the early dynasty just thinking about what this baby was doing with an old man!

"National teacher, can you introduce this old man?"

The peddler pulled Lao Xie up from the mat, "Back to Your Majesty, this is the grandfather of the family, I want to tell Your Majesty about something"

Hearing that the old man was talking to himself, Li Er warmly welcomed, as the saying goes, there is an old man in the family who has a treasure, and as far as he knows, the concubine of the national teacher herself is from the army, but she is not a student of the art of war, but I heard that her grandfather has fought a war, and it just so happens that there is a lack of a person around her who knows how to fight with new equipment, and the person of the national teacher is too timely.

"Haha, that's great, old man, what do you have to say?"

Lao Xie heard Li Er ask himself, and hurriedly went to the countryside to follow the customs, "The old man sees Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live" As soon as the old man said this, the whole court laughed, and the hawker hurriedly grabbed him, "Old Jie, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's time yet."

"Uh" Lao Xie knew that he was making a joke, and his face was embarrassed, "That Your Majesty..."

Li Er waved his hand, "It's okay, I don't have so much etiquette here, you can just talk about it."

Lao Xie looked left and right, "That, I'm afraid some things are not good to say in front of so many people, I don't know if I can ask Your Majesty to move?" ”

Li Er: "Then wait a minute, everyone is okay, go back if you have nothing to do, old man, Dabao, Wuji, come with me" (to be continued.) )
