Volume 5 Chapter 610: Li Er's Unexpected Joy (Story 5)
"I don't know about this, but His Royal Highness King Ming did explain it like this." Yang Dalang smiled when he heard this.
In some cases, you can just click on it.
Before he set off, Li Chengqian actually explained that in the future expedition to the five Tianzhu, merchants are the key.
After all, the road is too far away, and if all the supplies are taken by the country, the pressure on Daming is still not small.
If there are a large number of caravans traveling with you, the pressure is much less.
So in the future, a number of giant businessmen may emerge in Daming.
This is also the reason why Li Chengqian vigorously supports private businesses.
Hearing this, Mangbo Jie Sun Bo fell into deep thought, he didn't quite understand what Li Chengqian meant, or rather, he really didn't know much about conquest.
After a moment of silence, Mangbo Jie Sun Bo still said: "That's okay, I'll arrange it, and I have to trouble Shopkeeper Yang to stay in Luo for two more days." ”
"Your Highness is gracious." Shopkeeper Yang said with a smile, "We are new to the plateau, and His Royal Highness has also explained, let us slow down and gradually adapt to the climate of this plateau." It's not a trouble, and it's the first time I've been to this plateau, so I can get a taste of the customs and customs. ”
After a few more small talks, the two dispersed.
Of course, for Yang Dalang, Mangbo Jie Sun Bo is still very polite.
Let people entertain the whole process at the moment.
As for himself, he invited Dabuqu over.
Although there is a world of difference between Da Buqu and his identity, in any case, this Da Buqu always followed Li Chengqian earlier than him, and in some aspects, he really knows Li Chengqian better than him.
As soon as Dabuqu arrived, after greeting him for a few words, Mangbo Jie Sunbo went straight to the point and said, "That's the case......"
Immediately, Mangbo Jie Sun Bo introduced the previous incident, and then asked, "From the perspective of General Dabu, what is the meaning of His Highness's move?"
It's true that I'm stupid, and I really don't understand the key to this.
To say that His Highness's move is to explore the truth of the five Tianzhu, I can understand this, but if it is just like this, do you need so many caravans?
Aren't you afraid of startling the snake? ”
Dabuqu smiled when he heard this.
He actually knows why.
There is a saying that someone in the court is good to be an official.
He falls within that.
"Please also ask General Dabu to solve his doubts." When Mangbo Jie Sun Bo saw Da Buqu's appearance, he immediately bowed down and said.
Seeing this, Dabuqu also hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Your Highness is polite, now Your Highness is also my courtier, and it doesn't hurt to talk to Your Highness."
The reason why His Royal Highness King Ming made such an arrangement this time was actually for the subsequent expedition to the five Tianzhu.
For so many years, my Ming Dynasty has never fought unprepared battles, and His Royal Highness must know this. ”
Mangbo Jie Sun Bo immediately nodded, he not only knew this, but also the victim of this.
But what does this have to do with caravans?
Da Buqu saw the doubt in his eyes and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it is also because the expedition to the five Tianzhu is too far away, so His Royal Highness King Ming is prepared for this."
When the war really begins, these caravans will be of great use.
At that time, they will also need to transport food supplies and the like to the front line, and the last general said this, has His Highness ever understood?
In the future, Daming will give birth to a large number of wealthy businessmen, and everyone who seizes the opportunity will make a lot of money under this huge outlet.
It's just that His Royal Highness has specially explained that this time he will vigorously support private businessmen, so ......"
Speaking of which, Dabuqu won't say more.
And when Mangbo Jie Sun Bo heard this, he was transparent in an instant, he figured it out, and he figured it out.
At the moment, he was also pleasantly surprised.
When you can't understand it, you really can't understand it.
But when I really understood the deep meaning of this, the whole person also suddenly realized.
"Thank you, General Dabu, for your doubts." Immediately, Mangbo Jie Sun Bo got up and bowed again.
Da Buqu also hurriedly got up and said, "Your Highness is polite." ”
Speaking of which, this Mangbo Jie Sun Bo is really too polite.
As the former king of Subi, this waist is said to be bent.
Of course, it is also because of him that Dabuqu knows that this is not a good stubble.
It is said that he can bend and stretch for a big husband.
But it's really dangerous to talk about such talents.
God knows if every bend they make will be able to straighten their backs in the future?
However, after Dabuqu left, Mangbo Jie Sunbo hurriedly gathered his henchmen.
After everyone arrived, Mangbo Jie Sun Bo immediately said: "In the next few days, first entertain Yang Dalang and his party for me." ”
As soon as they heard his words, all the henchmen were also stunned.
Isn't it, a businessman, can he be so attentive?
Ignoring their attitudes, Mangbo Jie Sunbo continued: "Then, select the right people within the clan and organize a caravan.
There is a saying that in the front, regardless of the relationship, choose those in the clan who have experience in business......"
Mangbo Jie Sun Bo said for a long time.
He hadn't forgotten Dabuqu's words.
After explaining this, he continued, "Finally, go back and prepare, and after the caravan goes south, you can annihilate the remnants of the Tibetan forces in one fell swoop."
Let me tell you that the opportunity we have been waiting for may be coming!
They were all very energetic.
In the future, if the opportunity comes, we can't grasp it ourselves, then it will make people regret it! ”
As soon as they heard what he said, everyone was stunned, but then there were bursts of excitement and excitement.
……
The gaze returned to Sun Moon Mountain.
Li Chengqian looked at the Goguryeo mission at this time, and he also smiled.
No matter what people say, he just laughs and doesn't say anything.
It can't be helped.
The letter of state written by King Rongliu himself, he could not avoid it.
But he's just seeing it.
For him, not to mention the Tang Dynasty's eastward expedition to Goguryeo, even if he crossed the sea to fight the Japanese state, he raised his hands in favor.
This is the same reason as Datang supporting him to take the Western Regions.
In this way, how much can they save after conquering each other in the future?
For Tang Ming, he is happy to see it.
Of course, this is also the case when the monarchs of Tang and Ming are a father and son.
After all, the meat rots in a pot after all.
"King Rongliu is too polite." After the envoy of Goguryeo spoke loudly, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Wang Shangshu, arrange a dinner, today, this king wants to go with the envoy of Goguryeo, and he will not return if he is not drunk." ”
In terms of face, Li Chengqian is not stingy.
As for the rest, roll the calves.
After Wang Xuance took the delegation out, Li Chengqian looked at Li Qinjian of the household department, and immediately asked: "They have accumulated a lot of cotton in the Gaochun line before, and this king has made the household department process cotton clothes, can it be effective?" ”
Speaking of this, Li Qinjian was immediately overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Back to Your Highness, that cotton is really a good thing, after being processed into cotton clothes, the effect of keeping out the cold is much stronger." ”
At the time, he didn't think so, after all, it was just a costume, and it didn't look as pleasing to the eye as his official uniform.
But after it was really done, Li Qinjian was so excited.
In the winter, if there is such a cotton coat, don't be too comfortable on that day, okay?
"Made?" Li Chengqian was also a little surprised, he just gave a rough idea, and handed it over to the household department to do, and he didn't pay much attention to it in the follow-up.
Li Qinjian immediately nodded and said: "It's done, and now there are tens of thousands of pieces piled up in the warehouse, but I don't know when His Highness is going to sell them." ”
Speaking of this, Li Qinjian smiled, "This cotton coat is really for the benefit of my people in the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Spring is coming soon, and this year has passed, so forget about the sale." Li Chengqian smiled when he heard this, "In this way, you inform Lu Zhengqing that this batch of cotton clothes will be sold to Datang by this king." ”
"Sold to Datang?" Li Qinjian was stunned when he heard this, but he understood in an instant.
Now that the Tang Dynasty is conquering Goguryeo, that ghost place can freeze to death when spring opens, and it is obvious that His Royal Highness is planning to support the Tang Dynasty to send troops to Goguryeo.
"Wechen will arrange it." After that, Li Qinjian bowed down and retired.
After he left, Li Chengqian also smiled.
Between Datang and Goguryeo, it's actually not a choice question, and there's nothing to choose.
He believed that with the blessing of this batch of cotton clothes, the Tang Dynasty's expedition to Goguryeo would only go more smoothly.
Of course, he did this not only to support the Tang Dynasty in sending troops to Goguryeo, but more importantly, he needed to leave an impression among the ministers of the Tang Dynasty.
This impression is nothing more than three words, and the general knowledge is general.
And Lu Zhengqing didn't react for a moment after listening to Li Qinjian's words, and after he reacted, he immediately asked Li Qinjian to take him to see the color of the cotton clothes.
Although Li Qinjian has already explained its efficacy.
But if he didn't try it out, he was still a little uneasy.
Immediately, the two came to the warehouse where the cotton clothes were stored.
Looking at the dense cotton clothes in the warehouse, Lu Zhengqing didn't say a word, so he got one to wear on his body.
First tried to stretch the hands and feet behind the upper body, after all, it is for soldiers, if you can't stretch your hands and feet on your body, it's not to send warmth, it's to send death.
"At the beginning of the manufacture of this batch of cotton clothes, it was tailored for the soldiers." Seeing him like this, Li Qinjian said with a smile, "So after you get up, it won't affect the activities of the soldiers at all." ”
After so many years of development, Daming's industry has a fairly mature operation mode.
When the cotton was delivered, Li Chengqian only explained that it was used to keep out the cold.
Li Qinjian brought many technical talents together and discussed for a long time, which led to today's cotton clothes.
Of course, during this period, they also consulted Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian also gave them some ideas.
But at the end of the day, they themselves have a lot of ideas in this area.
At this moment, Lu Zhengqing was surprised, and immediately smiled: "I want it, I want it all, I don't know when Li Shangshu will be able to deliver it." ”
"Tonight." As for the price, Li Qinjian didn't mention it, and Lu Zhengqing didn't ask.
That night, truckloads of cotton clothes were loaded and transported to Chang'an.
……
A few days later, when Wang Dequan received the news in Chang'an, he immediately understood what Li Chengqian meant, and he had been looking forward to the arrival of this batch of cotton clothes.
At the same time, he also received a secret letter from Li Chengqian.
A few days later, when Wang Dequan confirmed that this batch of cotton clothes would arrive in Chang'an this evening, Wang Dequan went straight to the Ministry of Rites again and asked to see Li Er.
The next day, early in the morning.
Wang Dequan waited outside the palace with two entourages carrying a large suitcase.
When the ministers saw this, they were also curious.
This old boy has been asking to see His Majesty more and more frequently lately.
However, they can also see that recently, Da Ming's actions are also increasing.
When the court meeting began, Wang Dequan walked behind the crowd.
When the Tang Dynasty held a court meeting, he, as a foreign minister, could only wait outside.
You can't let an outsider get involved in the Tang Dynasty's court, right?
It wasn't until the end of the court meeting that he heard the attendants shouting.
"Xuan, the Ming envoy enters the hall."
Hearing this, Wang Dequan immediately walked in.
Behind him, two palace guards helped carry the large box inside.
Seeing this, Li Er smiled and said, "I don't know what is important for your envoy to enter the palace today?" ”
After saying that, Li Er looked curiously at the big box behind Wang De's body.
When Wang Dequan heard this, he also smiled and said: "Back to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, today, the foreign minister has brought good things to the Tang Dynasty soldiers.
Of course, the envoy Lu of the Tang Dynasty has already reached this deal. ”
Li Er smiled and said, "In this case, the box behind your envoy is filled with the legendary cotton clothes?" ”
Of course, he knew the news.
Lu Zhengqing sent someone to deliver the letter back on the same day.
"Exactly." With that, Wang Dequan got up and opened the box.
When everyone saw this, they also looked over.
They really hadn't heard of this cotton coat.
And Wang Dequan immediately took out a cotton coat and introduced it to everyone.
When everyone listened to his introduction, they were all surprised.
Like Hou Junji and others, they stepped forward directly, picked it up directly and prepared to try it on, but Wang Dequan smiled and said: "Chen Guogong, this is a ...... underwear."
"What about the undershirt?" After all, Hou Junji, the old horseman, immediately took off his official uniform in the main hall, which is not particular at all!
And when Li Er saw this scene, he didn't stop it, even the ceremonial officer didn't say anything.
Although it is indeed out of character, everyone wants to know whether this cotton dress is as magical as Wang Dequan said.
If this is the case, then the value of this cotton clothes will be great, especially for today's Datang.
It's just that this effect naturally can't be presented so quickly, although others have been urging, Hou Junji still said cautiously: "It's really a little warm, and it doesn't affect the dancing guns." ”
As he spoke, Hou Junji also made a few movements of raising his hands and kicking his legs.
When everyone heard this, they were also surprised.
After a while, Hou Junji said in surprise: "It's really warm!" ”
At this point, he finally said with an affirmative face, "Your Majesty, with this cotton clothes, it is a great surprise for the soldiers who fought against Goguryeo on the front line!" ”
It's not just him, everyone sees this.
This is also the reason why they can tolerate Hou Junji's faux pas.
Now that Datang has mobilized troops, of course, he hopes that this battle can have a result.
And this cotton coat is undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow.
The ghost place of Goguryeo, it's still freezing and snowy these days.
And once this battle is fought, the devil knows how long it will last?
Therefore, with this batch of cotton clothes, Datang's chances of winning are a few percent more.
Li Er was also overjoyed when he heard this.
Although Lu Zhengqing also said it, he still had some doubts if he didn't witness it with his own eyes.
But now, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Gao Ming is still my Tang prince after all, and in this case, he is still extremely knowledgeable." ”
For this, Li Er also had to praise it.
Even if he doesn't want to, all the officials will think so.
When the ministers heard this, they also nodded one after another.
Indeed, in this matter, Li Chengqian did a great job.
At least on the major issues of right and wrong, Li Chengqian's stand is very firm.
That's a good thing for a lot of people.
At that moment, Li Er smiled and said: "When Lu Zhengqing wrote before, he said that this batch of cotton clothes has not been priced yet, and your envoy can only discuss it with the household department."
Wen Shangshu, don't bargain with Daming this time. ”
When Wen Yanbo heard this, he also smiled and said, "Weichen understands. ”
Li Chengqian was able to help Datang at this juncture, which was indeed an accident for them.
And this also made them gradually realize that their people are still different, even if they are thousands of miles away, but they are still concerned about Datang after all.
This is what the prince of the Tang Dynasty should do.
When Wang Dequan heard this, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." My Royal Highness had a letter saying that the cotton clothes sold to Datang this time don't need to be so troublesome.
Can all of them be counted as coupons? ”
Golden coupons?
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Of course they know what the golden coupon is.
It is the voucher collectively issued by Daming Firm, but after so many years, the code has long been canceled by them.
Although it is not issued by the Ming Dynasty, everyone knows that this is actually the legal tender of the Ming Dynasty.
It can be settled in the currency of the Ming Dynasty, which makes everyone a little confused.
Could it be that Li Chengqian wants to take this opportunity to push away the golden coupons of the Ming Dynasty in an all-round way?
"But I don't have so many gold coupons." Wen Yanbo immediately frowned.
At the beginning, they were still very surprised, but as soon as they heard the word "golden coupon", everyone was silent.
Immediately, Li Er also looked at Wang Dequan.
Wang Dequan said with a smile: "Wen Shangshu misunderstood, this time Datang is on a foreign expedition, if it is said that Datang wants to procure, it will naturally increase the pressure on Datang."
But if it is given away for free, then the interests of my Ming craftsmen will not be guaranteed.
That's why His Highness came up with the idea of converting it with a gold coupon.
Of course, we also know that the Datang household department does not have so many gold coupons, but we did not say that it will be settled immediately.
Regardless of the cycle, Datang can settle it slowly.
Moreover, in the future, every time Datang reaches an order with Daming, 10% of the order amount will be returned to Datang in the form of gold coupons.
After a long time, it will naturally be done.
In this way, Datang doesn't have to spend too much, and His Royal Highness has an explanation for my Daming craftsmen, how can it not be a win-win situation? ”
When they heard what he said, the people rejoiced.
If you really want to say what Wang Dequan said, doesn't that mean that this batch of cotton clothes Datang actually didn't cost?
Daming coupons have not been before, but since the official removal of the code, Daming has not done this, and now Daming reopens coupons, the purpose of which is a little uncertain.
At that moment, everyone was puzzled.
What does Li Chengqian want to do?
Pick up the last time and ask for a monthly pass!!!!
She got up with a whoosh and stuffed a piece of durian directly into my mouth.
OMG!
It smelled like eating, and it made me retch.
As a result, this Nizi still laughed on the side, and asked me if I had it, and while asking, she also said, give birth, give birth and I will raise it.
I was so angry that I wanted to spit on her face at the time, this Nizi.
But when she looked at my expression, she didn't feel distressed at all, and smiled on the side.
I'm so angry.
But I didn't have time to clean her up at that time, so I kept rinsing my mouth.
For those who are not used to eating durian, the taste is really too strong.
I can't stand it.
And this Nizi stood next to me and watched me rinse my mouth, and ate durian at the same time.
Didn't care that it was in the bathroom.
When I came out, Na Nizi came up to me with all her might, teasing me, and from time to time she brought her mouth over and made a sneak attack.
Good guy, such a toss makes me want to throw up.
But she had a good night.
Tossing until midnight, she also tossed and ran out of strength, so she went back to sleep, and the next day when the two of us went to breakfast, she also asked me if durian was delicious......
God, hell knows how I survived last night.
But I'm not easy to mess with.
If you want to be crazy, then you are all crazy
