Li Shimin was very surprised, shouldn't immortals be far away from the mortal world and be high.

How can you look at worldly gold, silver, jewelry, jade, cultural toys, and antiques?

"Cause and effect."

As if seeing his incomprehension, Su Qing explained:

"I will give you food, you give me equivalent treasures, we do not owe each other."

"Unless, you want to have karma with me!"

"But have you thought about what that would be?"

Li Shimin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he understood in an instant with such an explanation.

As an emperor, Li Shimin naturally understands the doctrine of Taoism and Buddhism.

The theory of cause and effect is not only exclusive to Buddhism, but Taoism also talks about cause and effect.

Where there is a cause, there must be an effect, and where there is an effect, there must be a cause.

Cause and effect with immortals, how to end it?

It's tingling to think about!

"What the immortals say is very true, so do what the immortals say."

Thinking of this, Li Shimin dared to say more, his head kept ordering like a chicken eating rice.

Compared to the cause and effect of the immortals, it is too insignificant.

"Brother Su, how about replacing rice with potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn?"

At this time, Li Mingda blinked and said to Su Qing.

For the same price, you can exchange more potatoes and sweet potatoes than rice.

It's good for the people to have something to eat, but they have to pick.

The main thing is that the imperial court is not rich!

"Yes, you can."

When Su Qing heard this, he quickly understood what Li Mingda meant, and immediately accepted it.

"Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn?"

Li Shimin was puzzled.

"Father, when Brother Su sends it over, you will know."

Li Mingda didn't explain, and his words were unfounded.

"By the way, how much food do you need, give me an approximate amount."

Su Qing asked.

"According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, as many as 500,000 people have been displaced by the disaster."

"In the spring of March this year, it is expected that it will take at least two or three months to support the harvest of summer grain, and it will be enough for about 10,000 catties of grain."

"However, I have already allocated a batch of food emergency from other state capitals, and the shortfall is about 40 million catties."

Li Shimin frowned and said with a serious expression.

Each person needs at least two catties of grain a day, and 500,000 people need at least 90 million catties to sustain them for three months.

Previously, he had transferred a batch of food emergency from other state capitals, and there was still a shortage of 40 million catties.

In modern terms, that's 20,000 tons.

"That's about 20,000 tons."

Su Qing took out his mobile phone and checked, and the wholesale price of dried corn kernels was about 1.2-1.3 yuan per catty.

If it is 20,000 tons, it will be almost half a billion dollars.

If converted into gold, it is about two thousand three hundred taels.

"Brother Su, I paid you 20,000 taels of gold or equivalent treasures, what do you think?"

When Su Qing calculated the price, Li Mingda also silently calculated.

During the Tang Dynasty, gold was not a common currency, but a precious metal that was rarely circulated in the market.

But after some looting, it is not a problem to collect 20,000 taels of gold.

"Twenty thousand taels? Good! ”

Nearly ten times the benefits of the business, of course Su Qing will not refuse.

However, it seems that the other party spent a high price, but in fact it did not lose.

20,000 taels of gold, you can't buy 20,000 tons of grain in Datang.

Su Qing didn't lose anything, and even made a lot of money.

The question is, who loses?

"Then it's decided, let's trade in two days."

"Emperor, you are ready to prepare, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

After the transaction agreement was reached, a task prompt popped up in front of Su Qing's eyes:

[Name]: Li Mingda's commission 2

[Explanation]: Help Li Mingda purchase a batch of grain, not limited to potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn kernels, not less than 20,000 tons.

[Reward and Punishment]: After completing the task, add 50 group points; No penalty for failure to complete the task.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Su."

Li Mingda smiled on his face and waved his little hand.

"No thanks, feel free to come to me if you need anything else."

Su Qing waved his hand and turned off the video call.

"Buzz"

The canopy suspended in mid-air turned into pale golden light and disappeared.

"Hey, the immortals are back!"

Looking at the disappearing canopy, Li Shimin was stunned.

"Your Majesty, how much gold does the court have, do you want the concubines to take out the dowry?"

Empress Eldest Sun asked with a little worry on her face.

20,000 taels of gold is not a small number, and Datang has just been established, so it may not be able to get it.

"Hey, this is a major event in the imperial court, how can you use Guanyin to give your dowry?"

Li Shimin waved his hand and comforted.

"Father, there is no money to use, we can do something to the five surnames and seven hopes."

Li Mingda blinked and said, "Or learn from Prime Minister Cao and dig a grave!" ”

"Huh?"

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson empress were surprised.

"As the lord of the world, my father has always been disobedient to discipline, and it is not natural to take them under the knife?"

Li Mingda's tone was calm, and he said lightly: "Speaking of digging graves, the ancestors of the Qin and Han dynasties brought gold underground, and we just used it as waste, so why not?" ”

"If you take the liberty of doing something to them, I'm afraid the world will not accept it!"

"Besides, digging graves, if people know about it, won't it be stinking for 10,000 years?"

Li Shimin also wanted to do something to the big families, but there was no excuse.

And digging graves, he didn't want to ruin his reputation.

"It's not easy to make excuses, you can find hundreds or thousands of them in minutes."

"As a person in power, if you want to execute a person or a force, the key is not an excuse."

"It's just about whether you want to do it, whether you can do it, and whether you can bear the consequences of doing so!"

Li Mingda rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "As for the reputation of digging graves, which is more important than the people?" ”

A small person, but he said something creepy.

When Li Shimin heard this, he was instantly silenced.

After hanging up the video, Su Qing didn't know what happened later.

He checked the information on the Internet about the population during the Zhenguan period.

The "General Dictionary" records: There are 3 million households in Zhenguan, and it is more than 130 years at the end of Tianbao that it is as many as the Sui room.

This means that there were 3 million households in the middle of Zhenguan, and it was not until the end of Tianbao 130 years later that the population of the Sui Dynasty was restored.

"Nine years of Zhenguan. There are only 3 million households, which is about 20 million people, so few? ”

You must know that when the Sui Dynasty was at its peak, Emperor Yang had a great cause for five years, with more than 8.9 million households and more than 46 million mouths.

It is equivalent to that in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, nearly 26 million people were killed, leaving only half of the population.

"I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world!"

Su Qing sighed and said leisurely.

Unlock your phone's screensaver and find the phone number of the supplier in the provincial city and call it.

"It's still the old rule, I'll pay you 30% of the payment first, and then settle the balance after acceptance."

"Yes, it's still the old place, just send it over."

"Arriving tomorrow morning? Okay, that's it."

Give full play to the advantages of the earth, and have a sufficient, comprehensive and inexpensive variety of materials!

There are only those who have not been expected, as long as there is money, there is nothing that modern society does not sell.

"Not enough money"

Looking at the balance of the bank card, Su Qing didn't say a word, and let the chat group convert a part of the gold.

【Ding! Do you convert 200 kg of gold into the selected currency? Yes/No? 】

Select 'Yes'.

【Ding! According to today's international gold price of 460.7 yuan/gram, you get 92,140,000 yuan CNY, which has been transferred to your account. 】

200 kilograms of gold in exchange for 92.14 million yuan.

Nearly 100 million, enough to pay for this large number of goods.

Earth.

The first rays of the morning sun shine on the earth.

After Su Qing finished making the phone call and contacted the source of goods, the sky was bright.

"The sun is finally out, and it has been rainy for four or five days"

Facing the morning light, he pushed open the window and saw a shining sun slowly rising from the east.

"Punch in!"

The first thing you do when you wake up in the morning is to clock in.

【Ding! If you check in successfully, you will get +1 point! 】

A line of pale gold handwriting emerges.

"Well, only 1 point?"

The smile on the corner of Su Qing's mouth froze, and he turned around and went to the bathroom to wash.

While eating breakfast, he called Uncle Xiaolong and asked his cousin not to come.

He has to deal with Li Mingda's task, and he has no time to teach Su Zichen to paint today.

It was not until more than five o'clock in the afternoon that Su Qing received all 20,000 tons of grain.

Of course, so much grain was not sent in the same batch, and the 2,000-square-meter warehouse couldn't fit it.

When one batch is sent, he puts it in his pocket space and receives the next batch.

This repeated operation over and over again took a busy whole day to get it done.

"Click."

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Su Qing took the last batch of grain into his space.

Lock the warehouse gate and drive out of the city to your home.

When he got home, he went straight to the bathroom to wash off the dust and sweat from his body.

After changing into dry clothes, Su Qing sat down and opened the chat group.

clicked on Li Mingda's private chat and said to her:

"Little sister Mingda, the food has been purchased, how are you preparing here?"

"Will you trade when you're ready, or will I give you the grain first?"

Su Qing didn't believe in Li Shimin, but he believed in Li Mingda, who was also a member of the group.

It's just 20,000 tons of grain, and I'm not afraid that she will pay her bills.

"Ah, so fast?"

After receiving the private message, Li Mingda was very shocked.

How long has it been, and in a day at most, 20,000 tons of grain have been bought?

"In this case, you also lived on the earth in your previous life, so you should know the degree of development of logistics."

"Then I'd better ask Li Er, with the power of a country, it shouldn't be difficult to get 20,000 taels of gold."

"Okay, just ask him."

"Brother Su, wait a minute."

Of course, Li Mingda hopes that the sooner the better, she can afford to wait, but the victims can't afford to wait.

Soon replied to the message: "I asked him, and said that it was almost enough." ”

"However, there is a little bit of gold, only 10,000 taels."

"Others are jade, pearls, celebrity paintings, antiques, and the like."

Li Mingda replied with some embarrassment.

"Okay, as long as it's equivalent."

Su Qing doesn't care, the amount of money is just a string of numbers to a certain extent.

Now he also has the confidence to say this.

"Okay, thank you Brother Su for taking care of me."

Li Mingda replied gratefully: "Then let's trade like this, shall we?" ”

"Yes, I'll send the food."

Su Qing said, stuffed all the food into the red envelope, and sent it over.

Immediately afterwards, he received a red envelope from Li Mingda.

"The deal is complete, happy cooperation!"

"Thank you, Brother Su, happy cooperation!"

After completing the transaction, the two of them chatted for a few words.

Click to receive the red envelope, and a piece of gold will automatically enter the carry-on space, a full 10,000 taels.

Adding the remaining ones before, Su Qing had a total of 1.4 tons of gold in his hands.

In addition to gold, there is also a box of Hetian jade, pearls, and agate.

Su Qing counted hundreds of jades, hundreds of pearls, and dozens of agate.

Each piece is exquisitely crafted and exquisitely carved, worthy of being a royal product, and of exceptional quality.

"That's right, this batch of jade alone is worth hundreds of millions."

"Plus the 10,000 taels of gold, I made at least six or seven billion yuan this trip."

pinching his fingers, Su Qing found that cross-border trade was really profitable.

Once upon a time, he was still working hard to earn a meager income of four thousand yuan a month.

In the blink of an eye, a single business has made hundreds of millions.

I can't imagine it!

【Ding! Complete the 'Lee Mingda's Mandate 2' mission. 】

At this point, the hint of mission completion is long overdue.

Not to mention making a lot of money, there are also 50 group points for completing tasks, which can't be bought with money.

Don't look at the group points, you can get them as long as you punch in every day, and they don't have much effect at present.

But Su Qing is sure that it will come in handy in the future.

If you don't save some more now, it won't be too late to use it later.

Su Qing glanced at the backstage, and the group score had reached 816 points.

"Happy gongs and drums beat out the joy of the year, and beautiful dances send joy every day."

Humming softly about a good day, Su Qing came to the kitchen to cook.

He bought an Australian lobster today to make a lot of money on the celebration day.

If you don't hurry up and buy some seafood to eat now, you won't be able to eat it after a while, you know everything.

After Meimei finished a sumptuous dinner, Su Qing burped and sat on the sofa.

Take another sip of hot tea, this life is delicious, not to mention how refreshing it is.

"Good evening, brothers, have you all eaten?"

Open the chat group and happily greet the group members.

"Whatever you eat, you're full of gas."

"The work of taking land into public ownership is not going well, and there are people everywhere who are making stumbling blocks."

"Especially the Zhu family, they are very stubborn, they don't accept Wang Hua, and they say that Lone is Si Chen!"

Xu Huaping was so angry that he couldn't eat.

I don't know if I don't govern the country, fighting the country is just the beginning, and a lot of trouble awaits her in the future.

She was a woman, and although she was favored by the people, she had a very bad reputation among the scholars.

And everywhere she went, she raided the homes of the local tyrants and squires, without giving any face.

Let's ask, how can people in the world have a good impression of her?

"The Zhu family? How so? ”

"Which Zhu family, is it a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang? I think it seems to have been killed by the Qing court, right? ”

"In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, the case of the third prince of Zhu was completely wiped out by the former Ming royal family."

"Good guy, a barbarian is a barbarian, and he actually killed all the descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty?"

"I suggest that after the young lady unifies the world, she will kill all the Manchu royal family and avenge the old Zhu family."

Xie Yuanshan and the others came out and said one after another.

"The Zhu family that the young lady said, if I guessed correctly, it should be the Zhu family of Cheng Zhu Lixue and Zhu Xi's descendants, right?"

Su Qing checked the information on the Internet and spoke.

In our country, there are several families with special cattle batches, Qufu Kong, Zoucheng Meng, Wuyuan Zhu, and Longhushan Zhang.

Wuyuan Zhu is a descendant of Cheng Zhu Lixue Zhu Xi.

It was not treated favorably in the Qing Dynasty, and its status was far inferior to that of the descendants of the Yan Sheng Gong who were '72 generations of domestic slaves and 25 dynasty ministers'.

However, its successive patriarchs, like the Kong family and the Meng family, were all hereditary doctors of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy.

Don't look at this doctor of the Five Classics as just an official of the Eighth Grade, but his power is not small, and his reputation in Shilin is even more prosperous.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the Hundred Schools of Thought and established the official position of Doctor of the Five Classics, it has represented absolute authority!

Combined with Xu Huaping's occupation of Jiangnan, the only thing that can make her feel tricky is Zhu Xi's Zhu family.
