Chapter 18 Bundle of Interests

Changsun Chong's brain turned slowly, but it didn't mean that this guy was a fool, he also felt that what Li Xiang said was reasonable.

No matter how good Zackert is with us, he is also Tuyuhun's person, he is entrenched hundreds of miles away from Yizhou, you don't care if he is the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, we also need to arrange troops to watch him.

But what if the imperial army's troops were stationed in Tuyuhun?

It's all our own people.

Do you still need someone to watch?

Everyone knows that the land of Tuyuhun is a strategic place, the north can attack the Tang Dynasty, the south can kill Tubo, and in peacetime it can be used as a relay station for the trade of goods between the two countries, not only to collect enough taxes, but also to earn enough price difference.

If we occupy here, then the goods of Datang can go straight to Tibet, there is no middleman to make the difference, and the taxes will also belong to us, so why do we need a middleman? And we also have a princess for nothing.

The more Changsun Chong thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, after making peace, we had to send an army to watch him, and it would cost a lot of money before and after, the most important thing was that this guy was not necessarily the same idea as us, and he could fall to Tubo at any time.

Instead of spending so much money to find such a son-in-law, why not try to occupy his land?

Li Xiang was watching the expressions of the three members of the eldest grandson family, and even people like Changsun Chong could think clearly, not to mention the father and daughter who were like the elves.

The eldest grandson Wuji thought of some of Li Shimin's recent changes, could it be that the emperor also thought so?

After all, in the past, as long as someone came to ask to marry the princess, Li Shimin would agree, but Zakirt has lived in Chang'an for so long, and he still hasn't allowed it.

It seems that the emperor ......

"Pour the wine, let's continue to eat, don't stop chopsticks because of other things."

The eldest grandson Wuji did not evaluate this matter, but pointed to his cup, Li Xiang trotted all the way over to pour wine, although he did not announce his victory, but can't he understand the current situation? Only fools can really find a victory, smart people only need benefits, and that false name is not important.

Seeing Li Xiang pouring wine for himself, the eldest grandson Wuji also nodded, the pouring wine at the beginning can be said to be acting, but now it has reached seven or eight glasses, Li Xiang's movements are the same as just now, without the slightest fatigue.

Maybe it's not acting, maybe he's really respecting.

Of course, the eldest grandson Wuji is not so easy to deceive, in the heart of the eldest grandson Wuji, even if Li Xiang is acting, it must continue to act, the continuation of the rights of the eldest grandson family is the most important, in the change of power of the royal family, this is also the eldest grandson Wuji considers the most.

Of course, Li Xiang also understands this, family affection is only one aspect of the alliance, if the two sides stand together permanently, it can only be interests.

After Li Xiang finished pouring the wine, he looked at the door, and the calculation time should be almost the same, why hasn't he come yet?

"What's wrong with the elephant?"

The eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Xiang constantly looking at the door, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, you kid came to visit me with great fanfare, do you want to do other things with you?

When Li Xiang was about to answer, there were hurried footsteps at the door, and there were many heavy gasps from Liba.

"Master, Qian Ping, the chief eunuch of the East Palace, is here, saying that it is the wine brewed by His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun."

The chief butler of the eldest grandson's family pointed to the courtyard gate in the distance and said, Qian Ping came in with a few Liba from the East Palace carrying a large altar.

There was a wine-making method in the previous reward of the system, and Li Xiang had already asked people to make it yesterday, but because the materials were outside the city, he informed his subordinates of the method and asked them to go outside the city to brew quickly, although the time is still short, but compared to the current wine, it must be regarded as a good wine.

"I thought it was something remarkable, but did the wine you brew taste good? It's a decades-old wine in my uncle's house. ”

Li Tai said disdainfully, the eldest grandson Wuji's face was also a little unhappy, the eldest grandson Wuji usually likes to drink two sips, so he often delves into the art of winemaking in his own house, Li is like a little fart, is the wine brewed better than his own?

In front of the eldest grandson's unplanned face, Li Xiang naturally praised the eldest grandson's wine for being more delicious, but just now he really pinched his nose, not to mention the sourness, and there was a smell of horse urine, if this is considered a good wine? That jar of oneself is definitely the queen mother's elixir.

"Second uncle, don't worry, my nephew just got a wine-making method by accident, today I dare to ask you to taste it, if it's not good, I will punish myself with three cups."

Li Tai came to have fun as soon as he heard this, Li Xiang this kid has always made himself ugly, if he drinks three glasses, he will definitely make a fool of himself, after all, Li Xiang is a child who can't drink too much.

"That's right, if your wine is delicious, although the jade pendant of the second uncle's bird is not as good as the Jiulong jade pendant, it is also a top grade, and I will lose to you today, but if the wine is not good, add three glasses on top of the three glasses."

Li Tai almost lost the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant, the symbol of the Wei Palace, last time in the court, this time he learned to be obedient, and when he saw Li Xiang, he directly changed one, and he saw Li Xiang's greed for the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant from Li Xiang's eyes, but as he said, this jade pendant of the bird's good news is indeed a boutique.

Because the system has already given a price, which is worth three thousand.

In today's era, Datang's tax revenue is only more than 10 million guan a year, and the income of the eldest grandson Wuji's monthly title and official position is only 100 guan, and the 3,000 guan money is equal to the apparent income of the eldest grandson Wuji for two years, of course, the income in secret is not easy to say.

Li Xiang also found a bug when he studied the system, Li Xiang can't resell the gift that everyone gave, if it is resold, it will inevitably be unhappy after everyone knows, but the system can take this thing in, and give Li Xiang cash, when Li Xiang has plenty of money, he can also pay a little more service fee and exchange things out, which is equivalent to a temporary pawnshop.

This can also help Li Xiang a lot, after all, there are many things that don't need to be seen.

"Then it's a matter of word, and carry it up."

Li Xiangle said happily, if you are willing to send money, we will never push it out.

If it were something else, the eldest grandson Wuji would not have accompanied these juniors to play for a long time, but if it comes to wine, the eldest grandson Wuji is also a little greedy, the world's fine wine eldest grandson Wuji is the favorite, and the family also operates a number of liquor businesses in Fudao County, which is not only a hobby, but also the financial source of the eldest grandson's family.

If Li Xiang really makes fine wine, just like when the wine from the Western Regions first entered Chang'an City, the profit ......
