"What else? Continue!"
Lin Ce stopped halfway, causing Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, Zhangsun Wuji, and Cheng Yaojin to feel an itch in their hearts.
"You want to know? Make me a pot of tea first."
Lin Ce pointed at the teapot on the table.
After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Wei Zheng was speechless.
This kid was really daring. He actually asked Tian Zi to make tea.
"Alright, I'll make a pot of good tea for our divine doctor immediately.”
Li Shi Min was straightforward.
He immediately ran to the courtyard to boil water.
“……”
Wei Zheng was stunned.
His Majesty the Emperor was quite smooth in doing things.
Zhangsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin seemed to be used to it.
"Our Old Li seems to be very skilled?”
Wei Zheng looked at the two of them in confusion.
"Don't be surprised. Our Old Li has suffered a lot in front of this kid.”
Zhangsun Wuji helplessly spread his hands.
"For example?" Wei Zheng asked in confusion.
"For example, chopping firewood, lighting a fire, picking herbs for this kid. Anyway, I've done many odd jobs."”
Wei Zheng was speechless.
Our Emperor is really tired…
"This kid knows how to enjoy life and order people around. If you come here often in the future, you'll understand.”
Zhangsun Wuji sighed.
"Chang Lai? It's better not to come here often."
Wei Zheng's eyelids twitched.
Just thinking about how he had been scared before made his scalp go numb.
He went to the kitchen.
Lin Ce saw that the three dishes were ready.
"It's almost done. Wait a little longer. I'll cook a few more dishes.”
Chu Yimeng smiled when she saw Lin Ce.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Ce walked over and wiped the sweat off Chu Yimeng's forehead.
"It's not hard."
Chu Yimeng couldn't help but gasp. Her cheeks instantly turned red, and her eyes and brows flashed with shyness.
his heart
Sometimes, he was really gentle…
"What about me?"
Chu Qingyao walked over and pointed at her face.
"You…Hahaha!"
Lin Ce laughed when he saw the girl's face.
There were black stains on Chu Xian's cheeks and forehead.
He was like a miner who had just walked out of a coal mine.
"Hmph, biased."
Chu Qingyao glared at Lin Ce, and her emotions immediately flared up.
"You're really being dishonest.”
Lin Ce immediately slapped Chu Qingyao's buttocks.
"Wah…"
Chu Qingyao's delicate body went numb and she looked like she was about to cry on the spot.
“……”
Lin Ce clapped again and then walked out.
"Sister, look at him!"
"Serves you right."
“……”
He returned to the living room.
Li Shimin had already boiled the water and made a pot of tea.
He poured a cup for Lin Ce and put some chopped green onions in it.
"I don't like to add chopped green onions when I drink tea…"
Lin Ce was also impressed. Why did the people of Chang 'an City like to put chopped green onions in their tea?
"Alright, I'll get you another cup immediately.”
Li Shi Min acted like a waiter.
“……”
Wei Zheng looked at Li Er in a daze and sighed to himself. Your Majesty, oh Your Majesty, how much hardship did you go through when you were by Lin Ce's side to become so…obedient in front of him?
"Are you satisfied now? Tell us more. Is there anything else that makes you think that the Great Tang's treasury is tight?”
Li Shiming poured another cup of tea and looked at Lin Ce expectantly.
Lin Ce didn't continue to tease him and said directly,""Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road, and Hebei Road are all suffering from droughts this year.
The money spent on disaster relief was not a small sum either.
Disaster relief, war, they all cost money. At this time, how could the emperor raise the salaries of the officials? Where does the national treasury have so much money?"
Phew...
Li Shiming, Wei Zheng, and Zhangsun Wuji were shocked.
It had to be known that they had only received news of the drought in Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road, and Hebei Road today.
This matter was considered a top secret in Chang 'an City, but Lin Ce knew about it!
"If it's really as you said, it can only prove that the national treasury is going to spend a lot of money, but it doesn't mean that the national treasury is tight. How do you know that after spending money on disaster relief and war preparations, the national treasury will run out of money? What if the national treasury is very rich?"
Li Shimin looked at Lin Ce in confusion.
"The national treasury is very rich? Old Li, we know our own business. Some people know best whether the national treasury has enough money, don't you think so?”
Lin Ce did not explain further.
It was impossible to explain everything clearly.
He had to maintain a sense of mystery and create an unfathomable image.
"Some people? Who is it?"
Li Shi Min's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself,'Could it be that this kid has discovered something?'
That's impossible. My acting skills are so good. How could he tell?
"Haha."
Lin Ce chuckled and thought,'Keep pretending.'
Li Shimin was speechless.
Wei Zheng was speechless.
Zhangsun Wuji was speechless.
Cheng Yaojin was speechless.
Moments later.
"In truth, the Great Tang will suffer too great of a loss if we march into the Eastern Turks at this time. It is truly unwise."”
"Sigh…"
Li Shi Min sighed.
He naturally knew the drawbacks.
But now that the Eastern Turks were in a state of internal strife, it was a good opportunity to attack. He didn't want to miss it.
"Actually, I have a plan that can cause the Eastern Turks to fall apart. Once it succeeds, the Great Tang will be able to easily take down the Eastern Turks.”
Lin Ce smiled at Li Shimin.
