"Where's Old Li?" Qin Yu walked over with a frown.
"Haha, it's here!" When Li Shi Min saw Qin Yu come over, he was immediately overjoyed.
It was as if he had won the bet last time and not Qin Yu.
"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?" Qin Yu almost thought that he had lost 10,000 taels of silver. Seeing how happy this fellow was, Qin Yu was shocked.
"Let's talk first! Old Sun followed the old rules, a roast goose and a pot of old wine!”Li Shi Min excitedly pulled Qin Yu in.
"Alright!" Zhangsun Wuji ran to the kitchen.
Who would have thought that he, the dignified Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, would actually be a chef here!
The one enjoying it was still Qin Yu.
"Are you so excited because I guessed correctly?”Qin Yu blinked his eyes and asked with a smile.
"Haha! That's right. I didn't expect you to be a god. How did you guess that there would be a battle in seven days?”Li Shi Min thought for a long time but still couldn't understand.
"No, even though I guessed it, it didn't benefit you at all. Instead, you'll lose ten thousand taels. Why are you so excited?”Qin Yu did not understand.
"Uh... Of course not. To be safe, although I bet ten thousand taels of silver with you, I won't be doing business for the next seven days! "This way, if a war really breaks out, although I lose 10,000 taels, I can turn the danger into safety. If there's no war, I can win 10,000 taels from you!”
Li Shi Min rolled his eyes and had already prepared a response.
Qin Yu was startled for a moment. This fellow was indeed worthy of being a traveling merchant. He actually had a plan in mind.
In that case, the money that he had scammed from Old Li this time was really something that he had accepted willingly.
"Tell me, how did you guess?”Li Shi Min was excited.
"Since I won ten thousand taels of silver from you, there's no harm in me telling you some more information.”Qin Yu only had two objectives for coming here now.
He just wanted to know if this guy was really a merchant or someone else. Could he be one of the 12 Luosha?
The second goal was to become a money tree!
"I guessed that there would be war within seven days because the Great Tang's prefectures and counties are already in a disadvantageous situation. The Great Tang is in a state of decline, and if we wait until winter comes, the Turkic steppe will lose a large number of cattle and sheep. Once food is insufficient, it will be difficult to move forward, and the Turks will be in a state of decline.”
"If you were a Turkic barbarian, what would you choose?”Qin Yu lightly smiled.
"Naturally, we should attack when we are weak to prevent being attacked later!”Li Shi Min said subconsciously and immediately understood.
"No, but how can you be accurate to within seven days?”Li Shi Min suddenly realized that this accuracy was the biggest problem.
"Old Li, your thinking is too simple.”Qin Yu shook his head.
Zhangsun Wuji had just walked out. When he heard Qin Yu say this, he almost fell down.
Was this guy lecturing His Majesty again?
"Roast goose, fine wine! He's here!" Zhangsun Wuji put down the roast goose and wine.
"Come and treat me to a meal. Little brother, please enlighten me. Old Li is willing to hear the details!”Li Shi Min didn't care.
"Did you know that there was a drought in Suzhou?!”Qin Yu suddenly said.
"The Dao of Nature." Li Shimin was stunned for a moment. He had immediately sent people to relieve the drought in Suzhou.
"But what does the drought in Suzhou have to do with Jingyang City?”Zhangsun Wuji could not understand.
"Fortunately, you are businessmen. If it were the civil and military officials of the court, wouldn't His Majesty be crying?”After Qin Yu finished speaking.
Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji couldn't help but look at each other.
This sentence was said unintentionally, but the listener had the intention.
Wasn't this saying that he, the Emperor, and Zhangsun Wuji, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, were useless?
"First of all, if the Turkic barbarians knew that your Suzhou was suffering from a drought, would they be restless?”Qin Yu asked.
"Of course! So, didn't His Majesty send troops to relieve the disaster and provide assistance a few days ago?”Li Shi Min didn't understand what was wrong with this.
"This is the stupidity of Your Majesty!" Qin Yu knocked on his wine cup.
" What?!" Li Shi Min couldn't help but get angry.
Zhangsun Wuji was dumbfounded. This guy was courting death.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yu frowned.
"It's nothing. I think that His Majesty is a sage. I'm just not too happy that you said that.”Li Shi Min shook his head.
"I said he was stupid, not a tyrant!”Qin Yu.
Li Shiming held the wine glass and trembled.
"Hurry up and tell me the reason." Zhangsun Wuji's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he hurriedly said.
"The reason is very simple. Isn't it obvious? If a merchant like you can think like this, then are the Turkic barbarians all good-for-nothings?”
"They knew that you were consolidating the troops in the drought-stricken areas, yet they still attacked foolishly?”
"Therefore, if I were them, I would definitely create a diversion at this time! Therefore, Jingyang City suffered." Qin Yu spread his hands.
"Hiss-"
Li Shi Min gasped.
