Li Xian's words caused Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wuji, and the others to roll their eyes.
The moment they entered, they were offered three strings of coins for a corn set meal.
He looked greedy.
Talking about money now is too vulgar. Bullshit!
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Li Shi Min looked at Li Xian with interest.
"If it was an ordinary person, knowing my identity, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to speak clearly.”
"Not only are you not afraid, you even dare to judge me.”
"How dare you!"
Li Shi Min's face instantly changed, wanting to intimidate Li Xian.
In the end…
However, Li Xian rolled his eyes even more.
"The emperor and the son of heaven should naturally love and protect the people.”
Li Xian smiled.
"Li Xian did not break the law. He is a law-abiding citizen of the Great Tang. He has done nothing wrong, so why should he be afraid of Your Majesty?”
"His Majesty has taken a fancy to my corn. We are doing business and bargaining.”
"If I were to use my status to pressure people, I wouldn't sell it either. Your Majesty can just snatch it away.”
Li Xian sighed and leaned sideways on the couch.
"Sigh, as expected, the poor do not fight with the rich, and the rich do not fight with the officials.”
"It's too dark."
"We commoners can only swallow our anger.”
He looked at Li Xian sighing, looking like he was at the mercy of others.
Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wuji, and the others were all gnashing their teeth in hatred. Only Cheng Yaojin felt like he had found a confidant.
"Hehe, kid, your tactic of retreating to advance isn't bad.”
Cheng Yaojin laughed evilly.
"You're definitely going to eat His Majesty up!”
"Hmm?"
As Cheng Yaojin was speaking, Li Ji suddenly pulled his sleeve. Only then did he react. He looked at Li Shimin and smiled apologetically before retreating.
"Your Majesty, Li Xian intentionally toyed with Your Majesty. It is the crime of deceiving the sovereign!”
Zhangsun Wuji sneered as he looked at Li Xian.
"Brat, if you agree, this old master will plead for you and you can even get a high position.”
"If you don't agree, hehe."
"If you want to punish someone, you have to have a reason. I'm afraid you haven't heard of it!”
As expected of Zhangsun.
This was an open threat to Li Xian.
If Li Xian agreed, then he would have a high position and a great future.
No…
Now, he would use the crime of deceiving the emperor to capture Li Xian. If he wanted to kill or plunder him, it was still up to the Emperor to decide.
No matter how capable Li Xian was, he was just a commoner.
There weren't many methods to deal with him!
In Zhangsun Wuji's opinion, Li Xian would definitely be afraid and beg for mercy in fear, agreeing to the Emperor's request.
Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Li Jing, and Li Ji all shook their heads and looked at Li Xian.
He was still too young. How could he be Zhangsun's opponent?
But who knew…
Li Xian nodded in agreement.
"En, deceiving the sovereign is a crime that cannot be punished.”
Li Xian said seriously.
"In that case, Li Xian pleads guilty and is willing to be executed.“
"Sigh, once I die, this family will be considered defeated.”
"Li Zhong, set fire to the house. Don't even want the grain and fields.”
"I want to die alone!"
F * ck!
There was still this move!
"Wait a minute!"
Li Shi Min hurriedly stopped him.
If Li Xian were to burn the food, not to mention hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, even the thousands of disaster victims in front of him would riot.
After knowing the reason, regardless of his identity as the emperor, he would probably be beaten to death by these disaster victims!
The status of an emperor and a high official could only restrain those who wanted to live.
The disaster victims had no food to eat and knew that they could not survive, so they had nothing to worry about.
"Ancestors, don't talk nonsense!"
Li Shi Min reprimanded.
"Apologize to Brother Li Xian!"
Zhangsun Wuji gritted his teeth. This was the first time he had suffered such a loss. However, he had to listen to Li Shiming's words and bowed obediently.
"Brother Li, don't be angry. I was just joking.”
"Brother Li, please be magnanimous!”
Li Xian smiled and acted as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, I see. Then I misunderstood.”
"Li Zhong, stop burning the food.”
Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, and the others clicked their tongues in wonder.
Li Xian was not ordinary.
Even Zhangsun Yin had failed. This kid was not a mortal!
Li Xian accepted Cheng Yaojin and the others 'admiring gazes, indicating that this was child's play.
In his previous life, he had experienced the ups and downs of the business world for decades and earned such a large family business.
Black and white, all kinds of threats, he had seen many of them.
A move like Zhangsun Wuji's was simply not ranked.
"Then tell me your conditions.”
Li Shi Min said bluntly.
To be able to make Zhangsun Wuji suffer, to be able to grab the chips in his hands and fight for greater benefits for himself.
In Li Shi Min's eyes, Li Xian was already a top figure, and he didn't dare to underestimate him.
"Actually, Your Majesty, you really don't understand all the benefits of corn.”
Li Xian said with a smile.
"Other than corn, the straw can also be used to build huts and settle disaster victims. Just like corn cobs, it can also be used as a good fire starter.”
"Its durability is definitely much better than firewood.”
"May is about to end, and it will be rainy in June. These can be used to settle the disaster victims in time.“
"Not only that, corn whiskers can be soaked in water to solve the problem of the liver and stomach.”
Li Shi Min was not in the mood to listen to this at all and could not help but interrupt Li Xian.
"There's no need to say all this. I just want to know what you need to do to be willing to sell the corn to me.”
"Name your conditions!"
Li Xian said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious."
"I can use all of these 230 catties of corn for disaster relief. I can even completely settle hundreds of thousands of disaster victims.”
"The Imperial Court only needs to be responsible for providing the follow-up disaster relief food.”
"I can even pay 500,000 catties of corn every year as a tax to contribute to the national treasury.”
"As long as you agree to one condition of mine.”
Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wuji and the others asked curiously.
"It's nothing."
Li Xian said with a smile.
"I just want to contract the construction of the inner pass road. After that, I just need three years to collect the toll and recover the cost.”
"Your Majesty, please consider it!"
