Refined salt, at this time in the Tang Dynasty, salt is more expensive than anything.

Not to mention such fine refined salt.

Chu Sheng's shot was a gift of four bags.

It really surprised Li Shimin and others.

"Young Master Chu, thank you for the gift."

"Today's gift is too precious, Lao Li remembers it."

"Since we're friends, what are you doing with me politely, isn't it just a few bags of salt? As for this? ”

"Hurry up and put it away, let's drink and eat."

Seeing Chu Sheng so atmospheric.

Li Shimin is happy, it turns out that immortals also like to make friends.

For a while, the wine table was full of joy and laughter.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Shimin gently touched Prime Minister Fang Xuanling with his foot.

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling is waiting for His Majesty's kick.

So he immediately cleared his throat.

"Young Master Chu, I just heard what Young Master Chu said, every word is a big truth, and Lao Fang admires it very much."

"I don't know what Young Master Chu thinks of His Majesty today?"

Fang Xuanling's voice landed.

Li Shimin became nervous.

It's like a student who didn't do well in the exam, waiting for the teacher to review the exam paper.

Chu Sheng had already determined from the mouths of the two girls last night that it was now the seventh year of Zhenguan.

There is no doubt that His Majesty is Li Shimin.

I heard the words of the old house.

Chu Sheng put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Pull out a cigarette and continue to light one yourself.

"Old Fang, talking about the day in private is a big disrespectful crime."

"If this word reaches His Majesty's ears, we won't be able to eat and walk around."

"Gongzi Chu is serious, we are just a few businessmen, and now Your Majesty is an open-minded person."

"Even if he knew that a few of our businessmen were talking about him, at most he would laugh it off."

Li Shimin hurriedly gave the old house a sloppy look.

"Lao Li, it seems that you all want to hear my opinion?"

Chu Sheng spat out a cigarette and unhurriedly created his image of a master.

"I want to hear it, I want to hear it, we want to hear it so much."

"What Young Master Chu said just now made me wait for Mao Sai to open up."

"Please also ask Master Chu to share your own opinions."

Li Shimin arched his hand and said.

Now Li Shimin eagerly hopes to get Chu Sheng's evaluation.

If the evaluation is good, I will naturally be happy.

If there is any deficiency, you can correct it immediately.

As long as Datang can be built and the people's lives can be better, there is no big deal.

"Since that's the case, let's start with Emperor Yang of Sui."

Chu Sheng's words made Li Shimin and the others stunned.

Obviously, Fang Xuanling asked today, why did he talk about Emperor Yang of Sui.

However, since it is the prince of Chu, I want to start with Emperor Yang of Sui.

Li Shimin and others were also willing to listen for a while.

So Li Shimin stood up and was about to pour wine for Chu Sheng.

Cheng Biting Jin is a fool, but he is not really simple.

Seeing this, he took His Majesty's wine glass and carefully poured it full of wine for Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng thought to himself, is this right, knowing the way.

I want to listen to Lao Tzu tell the story, and I don't pour wine, I really think that Lao Tzu will tell you a few of you in vain.

Chu Sheng took a sip of wine.

Moisturize your throat.

"Emperor Yang of Sui is actually an emperor with vision and great merit."

As soon as Chu Sheng spoke, Li Shimin and the others were stunned.

How can this still praise Emperor Yang of Sui, who has been dead for more than ten years, coming?

Chu Sheng didn't pay attention to the shock of the four at all, and continued to talk according to his own train of thought.

He's on the rise at this moment, and if you don't let him say it now, it's probably going to be difficult to stop him.

"It is said that he has vision and great merit, and from these three things alone, you can see the truth and falsehood."

"First, build the Grand Canal."

"Second, go to Goguryeo."

"Third, implement the imperial examination system."

"Let's talk about the Grand Canal first, Lao Li, you are all businessmen."

"This canal extends north to Zhuojun and south to Yuhang. This route is nothing else, just for businessmen, it is simply a fortune tree. ”

"The scarce supplies in the south are often overflowing in the north. The scarce materials in the north are often the rotten streets in the south. ”

"As soon as the north and south are opened, Lao Li's interests don't need me to talk about them in detail, right?"

When Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling heard this, their eyes sparkled.

In just a few sentences, the value of the Grand Canal is analyzed thoroughly and finely, which is really high.

This is not over, Chu Sheng continued to speak.

"Don't think the Grand Canal is just a trade route."

"At the same time, it can also be used as a soldier."

"As long as the Grand Canal is heavily guarded, even if Jiangnan is far away from the capital Chang'an, the southern land will not dare to rebel easily."

"Just imagine, as soon as the news of the rebellion comes out, the army can arrive in Yuhang from Zhuo County."

"And there is a lot of grain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Grand Canal can make the grain in the south of the Yangtze River quickly turn over to Zhuo County."

"And then turn around from Zhuojun to Chang'an, if there is no Grand Canal, it will be pulled by a carriage and carried by a burden."

"It is estimated that before we arrived in Chang'an City, the grain was eaten up by the laborers who transported it."

“················”

Chu Sheng's words almost made Li Shimin take the case.

Wonderful, really wonderful.

After returning to the palace, he must arrange this matter immediately.

There must be no delay.

"Although Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal for his own fun and enjoyment."

"However, this great achievement should still be credited to his head."

Li Shimin nodded vigorously when he heard this.

Today is really fruitful.

"After talking about the Grand Canal, let's talk about the expedition to Goguryeo."

"Lao Li, you will definitely say, what is there to talk about?"

"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to Goguryeo three times, but they were all defeated."

"To tell you the truth, the people who say this kind of thing are people who are superficial and can't talk with their brains."

Chu Sheng's words made Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji and even Cheng Yanjin all blush.

Coincidentally, all four of them have said something like this.

Because Emperor Yang of Sui was indeed too angry, so many armies couldn't attack a small Goguryeo.

And it was also three expeditions that cost people and money.

"Why do you say that those who say such things are superficial and only have brains?"

"Listen to me, you guys."

Chu Sheng threw the cigarette butt in his hand and continued to light a cigarette.

For Lao Li and the other four, Chu Sheng didn't need to smoke at all.

If they don't smoke, why waste their spiritual food.

"Young Master Chu, I'd like to hear about it."

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling is now completely convinced.

For Chu Sheng's opinion, the very unique insight is the admiration of the five-body casting.

I thought that I was already an extremely smart person, but I was far behind the Chu Gongzi in front of me.

"Yes, Master Chu, I'd like to hear about it."

Li Shimin lifted the wine jug again, and was picked up by Cheng Yanjin.
