The horse dealer of the Cui family was escorted to the Liangyi Palace, and although he was very nervous, after all, he was a person who had seen the world, so he did not immediately kneel down and beg for mercy. However, he was also very scared, he didn't expect that he was actually sent to the palace, so he also felt extremely nervous. Looking at this posture, I am afraid that Li Shimin is going to personally "meet" him, which makes him feel both honored and helpless. It is an honor that he is just a servant of the Cui family, but he can be personally received by Li Shimin, the emperor. On the other hand, he can't reveal that he is a member of the Cui family now. Once it is revealed to others that he is a member of the Cui family, I am afraid that it will really be a matter of ruining his master. This servant of the Cui family didn't know that Li Shimin had colluded with Cui Xiuxiu, so he thought so.

After all, not many people know about the collusion between Li Shimin and the Cui family, except for a few prime ministers, that is, the executors of the matter. Chen Fei is also an executor, so he can know, but this domestic servant doesn't know this at all. So he was thinking about how he could keep a secret in front of Li Shimin and not reveal that he was a member of the Cui family.

"Tell me, I ask you personally, where did you get this channel? So many good horses, obviously not just casually, what price did you pay for the Turks to give you so many good horses? Li Shimin asked.

Li Shimin thought that this horse dealer, or the organization behind him, had betrayed something very important to the Tang Dynasty, otherwise the Turks would not have given him a full 800 high-quality war horses. With so many war horses, taken out at once, even the Turks have some flesh pain. It's not that the Turks don't know what kind of troubles these war horses will bring when they arrive in the Central Plains, if they really don't care, they would have sold them in large quantities to the Central Plains War Horses. It is precisely because they know that the Central Plains will definitely multiply in large numbers and endanger their interests. So even if they have more money, they won't be willing to give it. But now someone can get 800 high-quality war horses at a time, which is simply crazy. Perhaps the organization behind this horse dealer betrayed a lot of things that the Turks wanted to stop. That's why the Turks gave them these war horses like this. Li Shimin made a big fuss and thought that someone had betrayed the country, so he personally interrogated him.

"Your Majesty, the master has a great favor to me, so I can't say it!" The horse dealer replied.

The horse dealer didn't know that Li Shimin and Cui Xiuxiu were allies who had colluded together, so he naturally couldn't say it.

Li Shimin frowned, he didn't expect that when he saw himself, the emperor, not only was he not frightened to the point that his legs were weak, but he would be so calm. Moreover, he could not say what the owner had done to it.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Li Shimin asked.

"It's a big deal!" The horse dealer said.

Li Shimin was helpless. Since the people are not afraid of death, where can Li Shimin be afraid of death? Since people are not afraid of death, he will not say anything about killing him, but will give him relief.

At this time, the chamberlain came to Li Shimin's side and took the initiative to whisper: "Your Majesty, the eagle of Lijingmen has flown back, there is news!" ”

Li Shimin went to a secret place in the palace and looked at the letter from the so-called Lijingmen. Then suddenly I couldn't laugh or cry.

"Haha, we are a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, look at this!" Li Shimin gave the superstition to the horse dealer.

And the horse dealer took a look, this is Cui Xiuxiu's handwriting. It is written that the war horse was made by Cui Xiuxiu this time, which is related to whether Cui Fu can become the head of the family. and asked Li Shimin to help search for the missing horse dealers, and the horse dealers immediately understood that Li Shimin and Cui Xiuxiu were in the same group. The two of them were considered to have washed away the Dragon King Temple.

"Your Majesty, since there is a letter from Cui Xiuxiu, then I will say it." The horse dealer said.

The horse dealer then took out the secret recipe for roasting tea with Chen Fei. and told Cui Xiuxiu that he could go to the Turks and exchange them for war horses, and then return to the Central Plains to sell. However, Cui Xiuxiu was a little inconsiderate before, and was caught by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and those war horses were also confiscated by the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Shimin heard this, he also became very cautious, because he didn't expect Chen Fei to be able to open up a channel to purchase war horses from the Turks. Li Shimin didn't expect that these teas would sell so well among the Turks, and they were willing to give the highest-grade war horses in exchange.

In the past, most of the Turkic war horses purchased by the Tang Dynasty were also exchanged for copper coins or steel. However, whether it is copper coins or steel, they are all metals, and if the Turks melt them, they can also build weapons and use them to threaten the Central Plains in turn. This is an experience that has been experienced many years ago, but in order to obtain a war horse, the Central Plains has to do this kind of thing to quench their thirst. After all, if there is no war horse, that is, there is no cavalry, and without cavalry, it is to be bullied by nomads. So even if it's to quench your thirst, you have to drink it. Anyway, the Turks may not be able to use steel to cause much damage, so they are still willing to exchange steel for war horses.

But now with this kind of tea, it can be said that it has opened up another channel to obtain war horses. As long as there are channels, are you afraid that there will be no war horses?

"Is this tea really addictive to the Turks?" Li Shimin asked the horse dealer.

"Your Majesty, I didn't believe it at first, but after the Turks drank some tea, they felt comfortable. After that, they couldn't do without this, and they were willing to buy as much tea as we wanted, as if they were addicted, and they couldn't stop. And when I saw this, I took the opportunity to ask for a very high price, so the Turks were forced to accept it. I was able to get a lot of good horses. The horse dealer said.

Li Shimin still can't understand that Li Shimin himself has drunk tea, and this kind of tea is not very good, but why are the Turks so obsessed with this kind of tea, and they seem to be unable to stop. Li Shimin had no idea that the Turkic people were severely deficient in vitamins and fiber. The harm of vitamin deficiency is understood by later generations, but ancient people did not understand. Cellulose can help excrete stool, making the Turkic stomach much more comfortable. And just drinking tea at one time can't solve this problem, because their lack is too serious, so once they start drinking tea, this feeling of physical comfort will make them want to stop, like taking drugs. This also created a seller's market that was all of the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks had to come up with a large number of high-quality war horses in exchange. (To be continued......)
