As Li Shi Min and Li Shi Min were traveling incognito, they didn't take a carriage and instead walked towards the Imperial City.
With the cold wind blowing from the street, the drunkenness dissipated by more than half.
"Phew!"
Li Shi Min let out a long breath and turned to look at his subordinate.
"Old Du, what do you think of this young shopkeeper?”
Du Ruhui was speechless when he heard the Emperor call him Old Du. He did not know what to say.
However, when he thought of the shopkeeper in the tavern, Du Ruhui's thoughts immediately drifted away.
After a while, he calmed down.
"Your Majesty, did Shopkeeper Wang really figure out that you want to build a small temporary palace in the northeast corner of Chang 'an City based on that little clue?”
Li Shi Min glared at him.
"What? Do you think that I need to team up with him to deceive you?”
"I dare not!" Du Ruhui immediately bowed.”
"I'm just shocked and in disbelief.”
Li Shi Min turned his head and placed his hands behind his back. He followed the World Guard as he spoke leisurely.
"Actually, this is human nature. Don't say that you don't believe it. When I first saw his ability, I didn't believe it either.”
Du Ruhui immediately looked at Li Shiming curiously, wanting to know what Tian Zi had experienced.
"Do you still remember that a few days ago, I specially sent people to the northern border and the eastern river to investigate the heavy snow in the north and the drought in the eastern river?”
Du Ruhui didn't even need to think and immediately replied,""I remember it clearly. Even now, I still don't understand why Your Majesty suddenly sent people to these two places.”
"It's a cautious move to send people to explore the border, but nothing has happened in the east of the river. I can't figure out your move.”
Li Shimin smiled and patted Du Ruhui's shoulder.
"It's right that you can't figure it out. I'll tell you today that these two things were also deduced by that Little Shopkeeper Wang!”
Instantly, Du Ruhui's body trembled.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Your Majesty, are you serious? Can you make it clearer?"
Li Shi Min looked up at the sky.
"A few days ago, I went to his tavern to eat and drink, and in my free time, we talked about the relationship between the Great Tang and the Turks.”
"Little shopkeeper, you're so certain that our Great Tang is going to war with the Turks and that we'll lose.”
Du Ruhui finally reacted.
"Your Majesty, could it be that the reason why he said he would lose this battle was because he predicted the heavy snow in the north and the drought in the east of the river?”
Li Shi Min looked at him and nodded slightly.
"Hiss!"
Du Ruhui took a deep breath, and his heart suddenly surged like a wave, unable to calm down.
"Your Majesty…this…what kind of ability is this?”
Li Shi Min looked at the palace gate and sighed,"He didn't calculate it. He pushed it out.”
"Because he noticed that the price of mutton in the eastern and western markets has soared, and the quantity of the unique Hedong rice has decreased sharply. The price of rice far exceeds other varieties.”
"That's why he concluded that there must have been a change in these two places.”
"The facts have proven that he was right, and this can be considered a disaster averted for our Great Tang.”
"The credit lies in the country!"
Du Ruhui was completely speechless this time. He was completely shocked.
The wise and decisive think tank of the emperor felt like his brain was going to crash.
What kind of monster was this?
No wonder His Majesty was so calm when Shopkeeper Wang deduced that he was going to build a small temporary palace.
It turned out that he had already experienced great storms.
Du Ruhui was completely convinced.
"The great talent of the country, he is truly the great talent of the country!”
"Your Majesty, if we can't recruit such a talent under your wing, it will be a great loss for the Great Tang!”
"This humble subject implores Your Majesty to immediately use this person. This will be a blessing for the Great Tang and the people of the world!”
"With this person serving the Imperial Court, the Great Tang will continue its reign for hundreds of years. This is a heaven-sent opportunity, and Your Majesty must accept it!”
Du Ruhui's words were shocking, and so was Li Shimin.
He had never expected that his right-hand man would have such a high evaluation of Shopkeeper Wang.
It had already risen to the point of continuing the fate of the Great Tang.
But to be honest, Li Shimin agreed with this evaluation.
That young shopkeeper really had this ability.
Although he was in the marketplace, he had abilities that most people in the court couldn't compare to.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Li Shimin shook his head.
Du Ruhui was a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, it's too wasteful to let such a talent run a small tavern. It's a waste of God's gift.”
"If Your Majesty doesn't want him, you can arrange for him to join my Ministry of War. As the Minister of War, I can also help him.”
Li Shi Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Du Ruhui, you're still playing tricks with me, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?”
"Isn't it just to win this Shopkeeper Wang over before others know?”
"However, I think you can save it. Who said that I don't need this person?”
"On the contrary, I want to put him in an important position!"
