Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wuji, and the others widened their eyes and were speechless for a long time.
These words…
There seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
"Cough cough, what Brother Li Xian said makes sense.”
Li Shiming smiled awkwardly and coughed twice. He looked at Zhangsun Wuji and gave him a look.
Zhangsun Wuji smiled bitterly. He was paying for it himself.
Including His Majesty, there were seven people in total, so it was twenty strings of money.
Zhangsun Wuji searched his entire body, but he only had five strings of money.
He pulled Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, and the others to gather money. After a long time, they only had fifteen strings of money.
The main currency of the Tang Dynasty was copper coins. One thousand wen was equivalent to one thousand copper coins, and twenty wen was equivalent to dozens of catties of copper.
Who would bring so much money with them?
Moreover, the prices of goods in the Great Tang were not high. A few dozen copper coins was enough for a family to spend for two to three days.
Zhangsun Wuji and the others felt that having some small change on them was enough.
Who would have thought that he would meet Li Xian and demand such an exorbitant price?
Awkward.
"Brother Li, can you make it cheaper? Fifteen strings of coins.”
Zhangsun Wuji discussed.
"No!"
Li Xian revealed a professional fake smile.
"The price was set by me and your friend. How can it be changed? You can't change it all the time and not speak of integrity at all, right?”
Li Shi Min felt awkward.
He did not expect that his casual agreement would cause such trouble for everyone.
However, he was the emperor after all. He could not bear this responsibility, and it was even more impossible for him to admit his mistake.
He even glared at Zhangsun Wuji, blaming him for not solving the problem well and causing himself to fall into embarrassment.
Zhangsun Wuji smiled bitterly. This time, he was really in a dilemma.
He glared at Li Xian with dissatisfaction.
Then, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket.
"This is a piece of ancient jade. The cost is not cheap. It's worth 60 strings.”
Zhangsun Wuji was also furious.
This was the ancient jade that he had hidden with him. It was good for health and qi.
He didn't expect to exchange it for corn today. It was really enough.
"Sorry, we don't accept collateral.”
Li Xian explained with a smile.
"You said that this piece of jade is worth sixty strings, but I don't think it's worth sixty strings.”
"Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, cash is best.”
Zhangsun Wuji said angrily.
"But we don't have enough money, we only have fifteen strings!”
Li Xian maintained his professional fake smile.
"Then there's no other way."
"Or you can just give me the jade pendant and fifteen strings of money. I'll treat it as making up for the remaining price difference.”
"Or, I can only give you five people dinner.”
"You choose."
Looking at Li Xian's unyielding attitude and determined look, Zhangsun Wuji was so angry that he started to go crazy.
"Ahem…"
Just as he was about to turn hostile, Li Shiming coughed twice. Zhangsun Wuji turned around and looked at Li Shiming's unfriendly gaze. He immediately cowered.
"Here you go!"
Zhangsun Wuji glared at Li Xian unwillingly and fiercely handed the copper coin and jade pendant to Li Xian.
"Thank you for your patronage!"
The moment Li Xian received the money and jade pendant, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the transaction of the corn set meal. The profit is 80 strings of coins. The reward is 80 Achievement Points!”
That's right, Li Xian had transmigrated.
In his previous life, he was a successful businessman with a net worth of hundreds of millions.
After his death, his soul transmigrated to the Great Tang with the Trade Achievement System and became the young master of the Li family in Taiping Village.
His parents were dead, and he had no siblings to share the family property with.
There was also the help of the system.
Of course, Li Xian could not accept a mediocre life.
He wanted to rely on his business talent to bring a better life to this prosperous world.
The system was very simple. One achievement point was needed for each transaction. The corresponding achievement points could be used to exchange for the items that one wanted in the system store.
Li Xian had chosen corn from the start, allowing it to appear in the Great Tang nearly a thousand years earlier.
It also made Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji, and the others fall in love with it.
"It's too fragrant. What did you add to this boiled corn? It's too sweet!"
"It's a little less sweet than cane sugar, but it's more fragrant. It's too delicious.”
Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin, two iron fools, held the corn cob in their hands and chewed it clean. If it wasn't for Li Xian stopping them, they would have eaten the corn cob raw.
"This cornmeal porridge is also fragrant and tastes especially good.”
Fang Xuanling was full of praise.
"Not only that, but it also feels warm and comfortable in the stomach. It's probably very effective in nourishing the stomach.”
Although Zhangsun Wuji was dissatisfied with Li Xian, he was also very satisfied with the corn porridge.
"It is indeed a good diet.”
Li Shimin loved to stick pancakes. He ate the pancakes in two or three bites with salted vegetables, drank the cornmeal porridge, and picked up the corn cob to eat as dessert.
As expected of the emperor, he really knew how to eat!
"I didn't expect corn to be able to fill my stomach as a staple food. It can also be used as a snack to make porridge or pancakes.”
Li Shi Min praised.
"It is indeed good stuff."
"I wonder how many times this corn ripens in a year and how much it produces per mu?”
Li Shiming seemed to be speaking casually, but his heart was in his throat.
There were many ways to eat corn. It tasted good and could fill one's stomach.
As long as there was enough production, even if one mu of land was the same as wheat, two to three hundred catties, it could be considered as improving the lives of the people.
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the others were all important ministers of the country. Of course, they knew the importance of this question.
In an instant, the gazes of the seven people all landed on Li Xian.
"The corn can only be harvested once a year. As for the yield…"
Li Xian thought for a moment.
"It's hard to say the exact number, but it's at least 1700 pounds.”
F * ck!
Li Shi Min, Zhangsun Wu Ji and the others widened their eyes and looked at Li Xian in disbelief.
" You're not joking!?"
Li Shi Min asked solemnly, his eyes staring at Li Xian without blinking. He was afraid that he would miss any of Li Xian's expressions and actions and be deceived.
"What's there to joke about?"
Li Xian smiled.
"I didn't say much. I calculated the average value of corn planted in the past three years.”
"In terms of quantity, it's even more than two thousand jin.”
Li Shi Min…
