Lu Dongzan looked at this holy decree carefully, he had been in Chang'an City, and naturally knew that the hierarchy of the Tang Dynasty was strict, if Li Xiang pretended to be a holy decree, then I am afraid that there would be a great sin, even the imperial grandson could not afford it, not to mention that there were several children of other big families in this tent, and these people could not afford it.

Although they may be Li Xiang's sworn friends, their family is also a family of hundreds of people, if they dare to do this, it is equivalent to putting these hundreds of people in danger, once someone confides in this matter, then their whole family may be beheaded.

Therefore, Lu Dongzan concluded that this holy decree was true, and then counted the above days, it was indeed issued a month and a half ago, and it must have been sent to Tubo without rest on the road, so it was sent to Tubo at this point, and it seems that the northern part of the Tang Dynasty is indeed experiencing war.

If this is the case, then the grain will have to be set more quickly, even if the price is high, everyone knows that the price of food rises the fastest during the war, and often the price at noon is much higher than in the morning, and if you hesitate at this time, then you just wait to starve!

"Your Highness, don't worry, it's just a Goguryeo, I've heard others say that this is just a small country, it's not as good as your Tang Dynasty at all, and even Tuyuhun can't catch up, so why worry?"

Lu Dongzan is a little disgusting when he says this, he is very familiar with the history of the Han people, when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo three times, almost exhausted the national strength of the Great Sui, and now it is so easy, if the Tang Dynasty can't take it, then they will have what they say.

"The Prime Minister is right, but we Datang like to go all out to do things, even if the other party is a small country, then we have to show real strength, I have suggested before that my grandfather should mobilize a large number of troops to Liaodong, and strive to destroy them at one time, but at that time, there was a shortage of grain and grass, and now Datang has enough grain and grass......

Li Xiang doesn't have so much free time for him to talk nonsense here, even if it is nonsense, then we have to be friends, not only are we not friends, others are possible, so two or three sentences will lead to grain and grass, and it is also forcing you people to bid, if you don't bid, then we will have to go on the road, and you will spend this winter in hunger!

Lu Dongzan's heart is also unhappy, of course he understands what Li Xiang means, if anyone speaks first, then he will lose the opportunity in the negotiation, but now Tubo has no cards to play, as Songtsan Gampo said, if the Tang Dynasty really controls the grain, maybe the Tubo Dynasty will collapse, and a new dynasty will appear at that time.

Of course, Li Xiang will never do this, if there is a new unified dynasty, it will not be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, and now this situation is the most beneficial, the central and local power of Tubo are in chaos, every additional month, your comprehensive national strength will drop by at least three percent, then it will be able to drop by about forty percent in a year, and after we solve Goguryeo in the next year, can you still have the strength in Tubo?

Some people may not be able to see Li Xiang's long-term plan clearly, but Li Shimin can see it clearly, so in many of Li Xiang's decisions, although Li Shimin feels a little uncomfortable, he also knows that this is the easiest strategy to drag down Tubo, so in Li Xiang's requirements, Li Shimin gave the green light, otherwise how could so many people cooperate? This is very much in line with the interests of Datang and Li Shimin.

"It's just a Goguryeo, Datang has a vast territory, and there is a lot of grain production, will it affect the price of grain in Datang?"

Lu Dongzan has already begun to prepare for the negotiations, if he continues to talk with Li Xiang's words, it is estimated that the price of grain in Chang'an City will rise by two or three times, and then to the side of Tubo, it will not be a matter of forty yuan, and it is estimated that it will be doubled.

"Prime Minister is wrong, Cheng is a little ignorant of the situation of our Tang Dynasty, this time the emperor is ready to send 200,000 troops to conquer Goguryeo, 200,000 people will take at least a year to finish the work, and we have to prepare the grain and grass for this year."

Li Xiang saw that he had not entered into substantive negotiations, so he mobilized Qin Huaiyu with a look, what are you people sitting here doing, you should all be involved, let's partner to fool this prime minister, and when we sell at a good price, we will definitely give you dividends.

What Qin Huaiyu said is half-true and half-false, because there is no news from the Tang Dynasty on the Tubo side, of course, it may be received after a while, but it is true now, it is possible that the matter of sending 200,000 troops to conquer Goguryeo may be true, after all, Emperor Yang of Sui requisitioned a million troops back then.

If it is according to the way of doing things according to Emperor Yang of Sui back then, it is very likely that Li Shimin will also send troops, 200,000 should be a very small number, if it is really like this, then according to Lu Dongzan's speculation, the price of food in Datang will rise.

There is more grain production in the south of the Yangtze River, and the price should rise by about one to two times, and the Guanzhong region is also a grain producing area, but there is a large population here, and the price of grain should rise by about three times, and even the price of Chang'an City can rise by three times, so if it is transported to Tibet, it will definitely be higher, and there may be a series of policies, such as not allowing grain exports and the like, so this price ......

"Your Highness, the food issue we talked about earlier ......"

After Lu Dongzan thought about these things clearly, the whole person was really a little anxious, but unfortunately he hadn't finished saying this, Li Xiang was already shaking his head and waving his hands, obviously disagreeing with the previous matter.

"I forgot if the Prime Minister didn't talk about this, fortunately we didn't negotiate it before, my country needs 200,000 army rations, and it will be transported to Liaodong in advance, so now the price of food is rising wildly everywhere, the Prime Minister can also go and ask, and there will be results in two or three days, so fortunately we didn't negotiate, if it is negotiated, then I will have to buy food for you at a loss."

Li Xiang shook his head and said, it felt as if it was the rest of his life after the catastrophe, if all this was true, Li Xiang would indeed lose money at the price of twenty-five yuan that day......
