Hearing that Li Yanran was going to take over the deal, Li Zhi was a little relieved.

After all, her daughter is notoriously not at a loss, and if she makes a move, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid, how much grain and grass does my father need, and give me a specific time, I'll arrange it."

Li Yanran smiled and asked her father directly about the amount and time required.

"If these things can really be solved, Li Ji will go to work, plus the integration of soldiers and horses and a series of things, a year later, a full-scale battle against Goguryeo will almost begin.

In addition, the food needs to be prepared for half a year for the time being, and at least 5 million stone of grain will be needed, can you do it? ”

Li Zhi probably thought about it, and this time against Goguryeo, he also needed to prepare soldiers and horses.

After all, there are a lot of troops stationed in the Western Regions now, and there are also 300,000 troops on the Tibetan side.

Originally, there were only 100,000 soldiers and horses on Goguryeo's side, and if you really wanted to take Goguryeo completely, you would have to have at least 300,000 troops.

The 300,000-strong army will get more than 7 million stone of grain according to the consumption of a year, which is still only counted as soldiers, not as for the transport team.

If it really counted, he couldn't imagine that number.

"Five million stone grain is indeed a lot, but it is not difficult to arrive within a year, let's talk about adding money.

How much are you going to pay for this food to be transported to the front line? ”

Li Yanran summed it up, and in the past two years, Datang has been smooth and rainy, and there has not been much disaster.

The source of food is not the problem, now the problem is money.

How much money can be given by Dad is the key to whether this thing can be done.

"Price, how much do you want?"

Li Zhi was depressed, and his daughter was the most active in money.

This is war, do you understand war, I really don't know why you like money so much when you are a princess.

Drunk, he was really drunk.

"Fifty dollars per bucket of rice!"

Li Yanran calculated, if there was no five-fold profit, there were really not so many people willing to do this business.

After all, this thing can't be transported by road, because that consumption can't be spread out five times.

It can only be taken by sea.

But it is too risky to go by sea, and if you don't have a 500% profit, it's difficult.

"Fifty yuan per bucket of rice, that stone is five hundred yuan, and five million stones is."

Saying that, Li Zhi couldn't count it anymore, and he couldn't count the number of this money anymore.

"Two and a half million guan."

Li Yanran smiled, it's just two and a half million guan, if this is changed to his own transportation, I'm afraid he won't be able to take it without five or six million guan.

"That's a lot! Can there be less? ”

Li Zhi frowned, although this money may not be anything to Datang's taxes, but this is only one of the consumptions.

Even if Datang has money, it is not enough to spend.

"Father? So I'll go? ”

Li Yanran heard that her father dared to bargain, so she raised her legs and walked out.

"Okay, okay, it's fifty dollars per bucket, but I can't give you this money first, you can only pay it yourself, and you can only settle it when the grain and grass arrive.

Otherwise, it will not be possible to pass in the court at all, after all, no one dares to transfer the fate of Datang to others.

Even if you're my princess, you can't, you know? ”

Seeing Li Yanran flipping over the table without saying a word, Li Zhi was also helpless, but he also said some ugly things.

After all, this is just a conversation between their father and daughter, and everything depends on the results.

If Li Yanran didn't work, he still had to prepare himself.

"I know this, when I transport the grain first, you will pay me again, I still know this reason!"

Li Yanran nodded at Li Zhi, two and a half million yuan, and it was only two hundred and fifty thousand taels in gold, and she could still take it out.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, let's go!"

Now that both sides have discussed it, Li Zhi doesn't want to see Li Yanran for a moment.

I'm afraid that this little girl will give him a reversal or something, and then he is afraid that his heart won't be able to stand it.

"Father, have you forgotten something?"

Li Yanran said to her father with her hands on her chest.

"Forgot something?"

Li Zhi was stunned, not knowing what Li Yanran meant.

"What about the twenty thousand taels of gold you promised me? Ready when to give it to me! ”

Li Yanran stretched out her hand to her father and asked for the consulting fee she had promised before.

"If you can really make this deal, you have to make hundreds of thousands of yuan, you still care about the 20,000 taels of gold?"

Li Zhi is depressed, you haven't solved the problem.

Not only did it not solve the problem, but it also gave himself a big job.

Five million stone of grain is only enough to supply the consumption of 300,000 troops for half a year, and it will definitely not be able to take Goguryeo in half a year, and the grain that may be required for this transaction will eventually be around 20 million stone.

According to the purchase price, eight dollars a bucket, fifty dollars, how much he can earn, he can't count.

"Then I don't care about this matter, you better ask another master."

Hearing that Li Zhi dared to default on his consulting fees, Li Yanran picked on the spot.

One yard to one yard, I have to give what you give, as for how much money I can make in the end, that's my ability.

It's a bit unreasonable for you to do that.

"Give it, give it, give it to you, can't you!"

Li Zhi was really pinched by Li Yanran now, and chose to give in on the spot.

Who said that he didn't have such a capable person under his hands, so he could only put his hope on Li Yanran.

"Then don't hurry up, my daughter is still waiting to go back and arrange things!"

Li Yanran also glared at her father, why do you have to eat the penalty wine if you don't eat the toast, I have to give you a face.

"Ryan!"

Li Zhi was helpless, so he could only shout outside!

"The slave is here!"

Hearing the call, Ryan hurriedly walked in.

"Go to Nenu immediately, take 20,000 taels of gold, and give it to Princess Lishan!"

Li Zhi sighed, and also said to Ryan.

“？？？”

Ryan was stunned, what is the situation with the emperor?

I just gave the princess 10,000 taels of gold before, and now I want to give him 20,000 taels?

Is this still the Emperor He knows?

So much money, just give it?

What kind of ecstasy soup did Her Royal Highness the princess pour into the emperor?

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that Nenu will be hollowed out by Princess Lishan.

"What are you doing? Don't go yet! ”

Li Yanran glared at Ryan, her father has spoken, what do you have to worry about being a slave.

"Whoa!"

Li Yanran's voice startled Ryan, and she hurriedly saluted and walked towards Nenu.

"Father, then Yanran will leave first!"

Li Yanran also bowed and retired directly.

In this way, with a consulting fee of 20,000 taels of gold, Li Yanran also returned to Lishan happily.

"Your Highness, why did Your Majesty summon you?"

Seeing Li Yanran returning, Di Renjie immediately came over.

"What's the matter? Event! ”

Li Yanran glanced at Di Renjie and sat on the sofa with a butt.

"Big deal?"

Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, I don't know what this so-called big thing is?

"My father is going to appoint Li Ji to be in charge of the war in Goguryeo, but now there is a problem, that is, it is difficult for grain and grass to arrive, and my father summoned me to discuss this matter!"

Li Feng handed over a plum, and Li Yanran also took a bite.

"Your Highness, this is a big deal, you won't promise anything, will you?"

Hearing that the emperor actually asked Li Yanran to discuss such a military matter, Di Renjie was instantly stupid.

Did the emperor have madness? Why would such a big event be discussed with Li Yanran, a child.

Speaking of the expedition to Goguryeo, the problem of grain and grass has plagued the Tang Dynasty for decades, and if it is so easy to solve, it will not be delayed until now.

"I promised, I promised my father to help him solve the problem of food and grass!"

“？？？”

Now Di Renjie is completely stunned, you promised to help the emperor solve the problem of grain and grass?

Why do you think that you can solve this kind of problem that has plagued Datang for decades with one child?

You must know that it is necessary to transport grain and grass all the way to Goguryeo, which cannot be solved at all except for water milling skills.

You. You really are

"What's wrong? Why do you have a dying expression! ”

Looking at Di Renjie, who was stunned, Li Yanran took another bite of the plum, looking rare and strange.

"Your Highness, then Di Renjie wants to ask, how do you solve this problem of transporting grain and grass?

After all, the grain and grass needed for the conquest of Goguryeo are not a fraction of a star, at least a million stones, how to transport these to the front line? ”

Di Renjie took a deep breath and asked Li Yanran.

"It's simple, it's transported by sea, isn't it over after sending it to the Goguryeo front?"

"But you are not unaware of the risks of sea freight, and the slightest mistake can cause the entire fleet to be killed.

When the time comes, you will not only lose food, but you may also be held accountable by Your Majesty, have you considered this issue? ”

Di Renjie was depressed, if things were really that simple, could the emperor hand over this matter to you?

The uncertainty of shipping is too risky, and in the event of a storm or shipwreck, it can be completely stopped.

"Do you really think that my father will press the treasure on me? Besides, I didn't want to transport the food myself! ”

Li Yanran smiled, he naturally considered the risk involved, but this risk was not hers, but the grain carrier, what does it have to do with himself.

“？？？”

Now Di Renjie is being completely blinded again, what does it mean that you don't transport food?

If you don't transport grain, can you still fly to Goguryeo?

He was really a little confused.

"I mean, I'm going to buy grain from the whole of Datang.

No matter who it is, as long as he can transport the grain over, he will buy it according to forty dollars a bucket.

What do you think the merchants will do when they hear it? ”

Li Yanran knew that Di Renjie must be very confused, so she also said her thoughts.

"The purchase price of grain is now about eight yuan per bucket, and if you want more, it can be cheaper, and if you can really ship it to Goguryeo by sea, it will be five times the benefit.

The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and there should be people who take risks.

Let's not talk about the risks of shipping, but those robbers at sea will not let go of so much fat.

It's a difficult road to follow, and it will kill a lot of people. ”
