Volume 3 Chapter 251 Emptying the Tang Dynasty and Building the Ming Dynasty

Li Chengqian, who entered the workshop, left everything behind.

When it was close to the afternoon, Gao Chunxing came and said, "Your Highness, the envoy of Tuyuhun asks to see you." ”

"When I got busy, I forgot about him." Li Chengqian smiled, "Then don't be busy, let's all eat, it's also this hour." ”

Leaving the workshop, Li Chengqian simply washed up, and then asked Gao Chunxing's envoy to call in.

"See Your Highness, Foreign Minister." The Tuyuhun envoy bowed and saluted.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "I heard that you have asked to see this king several times, do you have something important?" ”

"Your Highness." The Tuyuhun envoy said, "In the past, when the tripartite non-aggression contract was signed, His Royal Highness said in advance, saying that if he took the Chishui source, he would return to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Chengqian smiled, he knew that this was not his purpose.

Let's not say that Li Chengqian finally gained a firm foothold here, let's just say that Murong Shun planned rebellion, or Li Chengqian helped Murong Fuyun, otherwise, Murong Fuyun would still have a headache.

Besides, what kind of neighbor to choose, not only Li Chengqian knows.

For Murong Fuyun, Li Chengqian is a good neighbor.

Initial domain name: m.

"Okay, let's get down to business, this king doesn't have time to talk to you about this here."

Hearing Li Chengqian say this, the envoy smiled, but he was not embarrassed: "I don't know why His Highness detained my county lord Tuguhun?" ”

Sure enough, it was for Murong Wanqiu, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Isn't your envoy opening a river?" When did this king detain the county lord of Tuyuhun? ”

"Why does King Ming have to be like this?" The envoy said, "Could it be that Murong Wanqiu is not in the Ming Dynasty's court?" ”

Nodding, Li Chengqian said: "She is indeed in the Ming Dynasty, that's right." ”

"Then King Ming still said that he didn't detain my county lord of Tuyuhun?" The envoy said, "Could it be that King Ming still wants to say that he doesn't know his identity?" ”

Li Chengqian looked at the envoy puzzled: "Murong Wanqiu is not fake in my Ming Dynasty's court, and it is not false for this king to know his identity, but how can he detain it?" As he spoke, Li Chengqian looked at Gao Chunxing, "Have you detained people?" ”

"Wronged, Your Highness." Gao Chunxing hurriedly shouted, "Then Murong Wanqiu wants to stay in the Ming Dynasty by herself, and she hasn't violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so Weichen can't drive her away, right?" This is not in line with the hospitality of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"That's true." Nodding, Li Chengqian looked at Tuyuhun's envoy and said, "You also heard, it's not that we detained your county lord of Tuyuhun, but that your county lord of Tuyuhun himself wants to stay in my Ming court." ”

"King Ming's words are really ridiculous, if it weren't for His Royal Highness's compulsion, how could my county lord of Tuguhun stay in the Ming Dynasty?" The messenger immediately said.

Li Chengqian's face changed, and he said angrily: "Then why did Murong Wanqiu stay in my Ming Palace, don't you know the reason?" Is it really easy for me to be deceived by the Ming Dynasty?

Gao Chunxing, let people find Murong Wanqiu, and this king wants to confront this Tuyuhun messenger face to face! ”

Seeing that Li Chengqian's attitude was so resolute, the envoy was also stunned for a moment.

How did he know why Murong Wanqiu wanted to stay in the Ming Dynasty? Of course, it's not that he doesn't know, but he really doesn't think there's any reason for that.

In his opinion, Murong Wanqiu's marriage to Dayan Mang's Jiebo was already a blessing that he had cultivated for eight lifetimes.

It's a gift!

After Li Chengqian came back from the eldest grandson, he guessed that it was Murong Wanqiu who wanted to stay in the Ming court, so he didn't panic at the moment.

After a short time, Murong Wanqiu was brought.

"I've seen Your Highness." is still dressed in red, with that delicate and beautiful face, it is indeed a bit sassy and heroic.

Li Chengqian pointed at the envoy, and said in an extremely angry tone: "He said that this king detained you in the Ming Dynasty, and you yourself tell him whether this king has detained you!"

Is it restricting your freedom in life, or whatever, you tell him yourself.

Don't be afraid, just say whatever you think, in the Ming Dynasty, it is not the turn of outsiders to go wild! ”

Murong Wanqiu was originally a little stunned, and didn't understand what Li Chengqian wanted to do, but as soon as she heard what he said, she immediately understood what he meant, and turned to the envoy and said, "Why did you slander His Royal Highness King Ming for detaining the county lord?" Didn't you want to provoke the two countries to go to war? ”

In front of Li Chengqian, she has never regarded herself as the county lord, but in the face of Tuyuhun's envoy, she can still pose as the county lord.

When the envoy heard her say this, he also hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the county lord, Weichen was ordered by the Great Khan to come to rescue the county lord." ”

"What is there to worry about this county lord?" Murong Wanqiu said, "I was captured by King Daning before, and I was fortunate to be rescued by His Royal Highness King Ming.

If you slander His Royal Highness King Ming like this, if you cause war between the two countries, what should you be guilty of? ”

The messenger was stunned.

What's the situation? I'm here to save you, okay, that's your attitude?

"Do you have to ask the lord of your family to admit that the king detained her? Could it be that Tuyuhun really wants to use this to start a war with my Ming court? The more Li Chengqian spoke, the more angry he became, "Are you ready?" Although my Ming court only has tens of thousands of soldiers, my Ming court has never lacked the courage to fight. If you are ready, then your envoy please go back and tell Murong Fuyun to prepare the army, and we will fight again! ”

The envoy was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness King Ming, don't misunderstand, the Great Khan just asked the foreign minister to learn about the situation of the county lord, since the county lord is worry-free, the foreign minister apologized to His Royal Highness for the unobstructed mouth just now." ”

Hmph, Li Chengqian snorted coldly, waved his hand, and said: "As an envoy, he has no mouth to hide, and he almost caused a war between the two countries, if this king is Murong Fuyun, he will not be spared, and he will not retreat!" ”

Regarding Li Chengqian's words, the envoy was actually not too worried, and it was still the same sentence, he couldn't be an envoy.

However, he was indeed a little embarrassed at this time, so he had to bow and leave.

Before leaving, he glanced at Murong Wanqiu with some puzzlement.

However, Murong Wanqiu ignored him.

It's not about who is right and who is wrong, everyone has their own purpose.

After the envoy left, Murong Wanqiu said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

"You're smart." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Murong Wanqiu also knew that her cleverness was seen through by Li Chengqian, and she didn't hide it at the moment, and said: "It makes His Highness laugh, the little woman just hates the injustice of this world." ”

"Uh, what do you say?" Li Chengqian asked suspiciously.

Murong Wanqiu said: "The little woman is the county lord in Tugu Hun but has been confined by others, isn't this an injustice in the world? ”

Hehe.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Do you know that it is precisely because you are the lord of the county that you can feel the injustice of the world in front of this king, but if you are not the lord of the county, do you know what the result is?" ”

"What was the result?" Murong Wanqiu asked curiously.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "If you are not the county lord, I am afraid that the second child will be pregnant at this time!" There is only one Murong Wanqiu in the world, but there are thousands of Murong Wanqiu.

The only difference is that you can feel the injustice of the world here, while more Murong Wanqiu doesn't even have the opportunity to sigh.

Then tell me, compared to them, whose world is unfair?

Will they also say that why Murong Wanqiu was able to escape, is it because she is the county lord? Isn't this an injustice of the world? ”

Murong Wanqiu was stunned.

She had never thought about the problem from this angle, and when she heard Li Chengqian say this, she suddenly became a little confused.

She can feel the injustice of the world here, and that is because her father strongly rejected Dayan Mang's Jiebo, because her father is Murong Xiaojun.

But can others refuse Dayan Mang's knot?

No, because not everyone has a father named Murong Xiaojun.

While Murong Wanqiu was pondering, the royal city was bustling with activity.

Without waiting for Puxiruo and Li Qinjian to inform those merchants about the one-year grain exemption, those businessmen who had smelled business opportunities early on had already begun to transport grain from Datang.

The Ming Dynasty is now a large population, a big war and years after the snowstorm, the grain must be in short supply, just take this opportunity to consume some of last year's old grain, after all, the new grain will come out soon, and the grain depot also needs to be vacated, after all, this year is a rare harvest year.

As for the Tang Dynasty, the merchants turned a blind eye to the grain pulled to the Ming Dynasty, in the final analysis, the Ming Dynasty's surname was Li, and the future surname was Tang, which was called the fertilizer water did not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Merchants like Huang Song and others in Jingyang even emptied their family's grain depot and pulled them here one by one.

There is no way, compared to Jingyang, Riyue Mountain is more suitable for businessmen like them, but the family has not had any capital over the years, and they really can't come up with anything except food.

In addition, they got Li Qinjian's reminder early in the morning, and they couldn't seize this opportunity.

"With this food, it solves our urgent needs, but it is still far from enough." Pusiro said.

The food shortage of hundreds of thousands of people is by no means something that can be solved by a few businessmen.

Li Qinjian said with a smile: "Pu Shangshu doesn't need to worry, now that my Ming Dynasty is thriving, presumably as long as we release the news of food exemption, there will be a steady stream of grain shipped in, and after this year, life will be better after all." ”

"That's right." Puxi smiled and said, "In this way, the matter of food will be handed over to you, and I will go to Ihara Xi to discuss the matter of building a city on the grassland."

The Ming Dynasty, it's really exciting, and the old man also wants to see where the Ming Dynasty will go in the end. ”

Li Qinjian smiled and left.

Now, they are becoming more and more official.

When Pu Xiru finds Ihara Seo, Ihara is happily playing with a pulley in his hand.

This thing is just a good thing, labor-saving!

For their Ministry of Industry, it is an artifact.

The two deliberated carefully, and finally decided that the two departments would escort the grain to the grassland tomorrow morning.

You can imagine how surprised the herders must have been when they arrived on the grassland with their grain.

Over the years, Murong Shun has never used food to help everyone, and everyone has resisted by themselves.

And when the two of them were discussing, Li Qinjian, as a household servant, invited all the Tang merchants in Riyue Mountain to have a banquet at Changming Restaurant at three o'clock in Youshi.

Regardless of whether he is busy or not, Li Qinjian's invitation, everyone has no way to refuse.

There's no way, people are officials now!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official invited everyone to a banquet today, but there is good news to be revealed." Li Qinjian sold Guanzi as soon as he came up.

Cheng Zhenghao immediately asked, "Li Shilang, I don't know what the good news is?" ”

"From now on, the Ming royal court will exempt all taxes from all taxes for grain transactions for one year." Li Qinjian said with a smile, "Not only that, everything sold by Changming Commercial Bank can be converted into grain, and those who use grain can be shipped first." ”

As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that the Ming court was short of food.

It's normal to think about it, there were only more than 10,000 people in the previous Ming Dynasty, and there was naturally no shortage of food.

But now, hundreds of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty are short of food, and it is a matter of course.

When Huang Song and the others heard this, their faces were overjoyed.

It's a good feeling.

"Can't copper money buy paper anymore?" Someone immediately asked if his family didn't have that much food.

Li Qinjian said: "You misunderstood, I told you the truth, now the Ming court is short of food." The official also knows that many people have guessed it, and even thought about it carefully, but the official still has to advise everyone not to do anything crooked.

If you want to take advantage of the danger of my Ming Dynasty to make a fortune, then you have to be prepared to be retaliated by my Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it will not be forcible and reckless, and the business situation will naturally have to be solved in the business field.

But don't forget, my Royal Highness started by turning his hands into clouds and raining in the business field, if you don't believe it, you can try it. ”

Li Shilang laughed. Huang Song said with a smile on his face, "The left and right are all profitable transactions, and everyone can still carry this clearly." ”

Li Qinjian still said with a cold face: "It's best to be like this, by the way, let me know you again, the Ming Dynasty will sell some new things soon, if you want to make money, it's better to prepare early."

One thing you can rest assured that the things sold by the Ming Dynasty will not be bad, and the profit is estimated to be higher than paper. ”

Li Qinjian was born as a businessman, so he naturally knows this well.

If you want everyone to actively participate, with a stick, you naturally have to have sweet dates.

"Li Shilang." Someone hurriedly asked, "I wonder what it will be this time?" ”

"Is this what you should inquire?" Li Qinjian's eyes widened and he said, "This is a secret of my Ming court, how can I inquire at will?" When the day of the sale comes, I will naturally let you know.

Besides, when did the things sold by the Ming Dynasty be bad? ”

Someone else asked, "When will it be sold?" ”

For the things produced by the Ming Dynasty, they are not worried, indeed, as Li Qinjian said, the things produced by the Ming Dynasty are really not bad!

"In a month or two." Li Qinjian said, "The specific time, the official does not dare to draw conclusions, I heard that this business is relatively large, His Royal Highness wants to wait and see, if you want to get a piece of the pie, it is better to prepare early." ”

What he said was actually nonsense, and his purpose was just to get them to prepare more money and food.

However, the Ming Dynasty does have a new product to be launched, but the time is uncertain.

When everyone heard this, they were also moved.

When the paper was sold before, it was because of insufficient preparation that the Wei Chi family and the Wei family took advantage.

This time, you won't be making that mistake again.

After the banquet, Li Qinjian returned to his house in the city very proudly.

In this city, too, he has a house.

Sometimes, they were busy in the city until midnight, and the gate for returning to the city was already closed, so these officials bought houses in the city.

However, not long after he sat down, someone came to report that the envoy of the Western Turks had been found again.

There was no way, Li Qinjian had to get up and meet guests in the hall.

Now, the matter of the Western Turkic envoy has not been resolved.

"Li Shilang, please forgive me for visiting late at night." The messenger said politely.

Li Qinjian waved his hand and said, "Your envoy is polite." ”

"What about the crossbow?"

As for the purpose of this guy, Li Qinjian was like a mirror in his heart, and when he heard the words, he said in embarrassment: "Your envoy's request, this official also returned to His Highness, His Highness remembered the difficulties of your country, and was willing to sell some crossbows to your country, but this price, is it too low?"

Presumably, the noble envoy also knows that this official is a businessman, and we are in business, not to mention how much money we make, but at least we can't lose money, right?

In Chang'an, a good bow and arrow have to be counted, and you will give more than 800 yuan for a pair of crossbows, which is really unacceptable. ”

"What does Li Shilang mean?" The messenger asked.

Although it is not appropriate for Li Qinjian to compare Chang'an's bows and arrows, the price of more than 800 wen is indeed a little less, and he knows this himself.

Li Qinjian said: "We make a pair of repeating crossbows, all the costs add up to the same two, no more than one penny, but you can't give me one less, in short, can't let us lose money, right?"

Of course, we are friendly countries, a pair of repeaters, we can give an additional fifty crossbow arrows, this is the friendship between the two countries. ”

"Consistent two?" The messenger thought for a moment and said, "Can't you have less?" ”

"This is the cost price, when the envoy goes back, you can ask Datang, when we sold it to them, it has always been five." Li Qinjian said, "The reason why it was sold to your country cheaply this time was because the envoys of your country came from afar and gave us some horses, cattle and sheep.

Your Highness remembered that it was not easy for the two countries to have diplomatic relations, so he sold it to you.

If you look at Tubo and Tuyuhun, if they open their mouths, will we sell them? Impossible. ”

Just do business, which is Li Qinjian's opponent on the grassland, after a while, the envoy gritted his teeth and promised: "Okay, then do what Li Shilang said, consistent two, we use cattle and sheep to convert, is it feasible?" ”

"No problem." Li Qinjian said with a smile, "Presumably, the noble envoy also knows that the Ming court is short of grain now, and on the grassland, cattle and sheep are also counted as grain. ”

"Li Shilang is a sincere person." The messenger was stunned, he didn't know the news yet.

Li Qinjian said with a smile: "My Ming court has always been sincere in doing business. ”
