Li Shimin could no longer hold back the doubts in his heart and rushed to the mountain next to the camp in the western suburbs.

in the cabin.

It was already night.

His Majesty Li Er rushed here overnight, and Lu Heng was also surprised.

He poured a cup of tea and gave it to Li Shimin:

"Father, you are so anxious, do you also have an opinion on pulling the Boling Cui clan into the blacklist today?"

Li Shimin glared:

"In your eyes, I'm such a stingy person?"

"It's just a Boling Cui clan, and if you offend, you will be offended."

"Anyway, your kid has already offended you with five surnames and seven hopes, not bad this time or twice!"

At this time, Lu Heng was even more puzzled.

He scratched his head and said:

"If it weren't for this ......"

"Erchen really can't figure out why you rushed here overnight."

Li Shimin was speechless.

It seems that this kid didn't pay attention to the matter of selling wine to a foreign country at all, and he didn't even think there was anything wrong with it!

How could he not have guessed otherwise?

His Majesty Li Er took a deep breath and said:

"I heard Cheng Qian say that you want to sell that wine to Tibet."

"Is this serious?"

Lu Heng suddenly realized——

I did it for a long time, it turned out to be because of this!

He nodded as a matter of course:

"yes, it's true, that's what I intended."

Li Shimin immediately looked anxiously:

"Did you know that brewing costs a lot of food?"

"Even if you donate potatoes and sweet potatoes and other things, and the grain production increases, it is not rice or wheat millet after all!"

"Lu Risheng, I am willing to follow you to build a restaurant because the imperial court now wants to distribute a large number of books for free, and there must be other profiteering items."

"But that doesn't mean you can do any business!"

"That liquor of yours can even prevent the wound from inflamed and suppurated......"

"If the Tubo people know about this use, then we are selling important strategic materials to the enemy!"

"You don't understand what I'm talking about?!"

Lu Heng pursed his lips:

"Who said that I was going to sell it to the Tubo people, this is the kind of wine we are selling in Chang'an now?"

"Father, you must have underestimated me too much."

"Ordinary liquor stores can sell wine with water, why can't I?"

Li Shimin was stunned.

He was really a little confused.

What do you mean?

Lu Heng, this stinky boy......

Are you going to sell fake wine to the Tibetans?!

"This, this ......"

His Majesty Li Er was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he choke out a sentence:

"Aren't you ruining the reputation of Datang!"

Lu Heng held up a finger.

That finger shook from side to side in front of Li Shimin.

"No, no, Your Majesty, of course not."

He took a sip of tea leisurely, and smiled:

"Today, the problem that Uncle Cheng raised is that if you want to sell wine to Tibet, you have to go through the Silk Road, and there will be many horse bandits on the road."

"Uncle Cheng is worried that the wine we have worked so hard to transport will be directly snatched away by the horse bandits."

"To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to send an army to escort it in order to guarantee the safety of the caravan."

"Your problem is that selling fake wine to Tubo will not have a good impact on the image of the Tang Dynasty."

"But both of these problems can actually be solved in the same way."

Li Shimin's brows furrowed tightly.

He pondered for a long time, but he never thought of a good way to get the best of both worlds.

It's a bit embarrassing!

A moment later.

His Majesty Li Er gave up.

He looked at Lu Heng:

"Don't sell it to me, if you have any fart, let it go!"

"What the hell are you planning?"

Lu Heng pointed to his west.

That's the direction of Tibet.

"Since they want to sell, and they are selling wine in glass bottles that they have never had."

"Then let's put our posture higher!"

"During the day today, Erchen has already sent someone to send a letter to Biansai, and brought a bottle of Zhenguan Ten Years Spring to Wang Xuance and them."

"You might as well think about it......"

"If we send a caravan to Tibet, not to mention the difficult and dangerous road, we will bear the risk."

"But what if, the people who go back and forth are all Tibetans?"

Li Shimin was stunned again.

He couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it—

Why did Lu Heng think that the Tubo people would be willing to form a caravan by themselves and travel back and forth between Chang'an and Luo in person.

Through hardships and obstacles.

Is it just to bring back the wine?!

Since you can't figure it out, you don't want to.

His Majesty Li Er didn't have a good breath and said:

"You go on, stop when you're done!"

Lu Heng explained slowly:

"The reason why they asked someone to send wine to Wang Xuance and them was because they were originally dressed up as caravans, and then pretended to be horse bandits after arriving at the place."

"And this caravan is about to meet with the Tibetan mission."

"Father, don't you think this is a good opportunity?"

"They can pretend to meet the Tibetan delegation halfway, and then inadvertently reveal that they have wine like Zhenguan Shichun, and they can even take out a bottle of wine to show the mission."

"After seeing the real thing, will Lu Dongzan not be moved?"

"This is the best gift to please their Zampu and those Tibetan princes and nobles!"

Hear here.

Li Shimin suddenly had some recollection.

He pondered for a moment and said:

"What do you mean......"

"Let Wang Xuance and others lure the mission, and even sell that bottle of wine directly to Lu Dongzan."

"When Songtsen Gampo gets the wine and knows the taste after drinking it, he will naturally send someone to Chang'an to buy it again?"

Lu Heng nodded approvingly:

"Yes, exactly!"

Then a new problem arises again.

Li Shimin was puzzled:

"However, what is there in Tubo that is worth the great efforts of the Tang Dynasty to get?"

"We are the kingdom of the Celestial Empire!"

"Tibet is just a wild place, to put it mildly, except for those nobles, most of them are uncivilized slaves."

"What are you trying to do with such a plan?"

Lu Heng sighed in his heart.

Isn't this the limitation of the times!

In the eyes of today's Tang natives, there are many cattle, sheep, horses, and slaves in Tibet, and nothing else.

But Lu Heng, who has been to the Potala Palace, knows it very well.

Tubo, how rich is it!!

After a long silence.

Lu Heng shook his head and said:

"Father, you may not know something......"

"Under the leadership of Songtsen Gampo, the Tibetans pacified the civil strife and conquered the Qiang, and had already begun to have contacts with countries such as Nibora."

"They buy and sell each other, and the hard currency is gold and precious stones, but they don't really use it much internally."

"After all, our people in the Tang Dynasty are the people, and those they have are slaves."

"Now the gold and silver treasures that Tubo has in hand are gathered in the hands of a very small number of people."

"Songtsen Gampo, I'm afraid I can build a royal palace with gold and silver!"
