"Hehe, Chen Mo actually said that this iron rod is his weapon. He really knows how to brag!”
"That's right. He's just a mortal. How could he use a metal rod that weighs a thousand pounds as a weapon?”
When Zhangsun Chong and Li Chengqian heard this, they couldn't help but look at Chen Mo with disdain, thinking that he was bragging.
Chen Mo saw everyone's reaction and only chuckled. He did not explain further.
After ending this topic, everyone at the table raised their glasses and continued drinking.
As they chatted, the topic turned to the Turks and Batar.
Li Shi Min and the ministers thought of Batard's arrogant behavior in the court, and they all cursed and slammed the table.
"This Batar is too arrogant. He wants us to marry a princess to the Turks and even cede the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to them!”
"That's right, he's simply arrogant to the extreme, bullying our Great Tang!”
"I think he's just dreaming. Our Great Tang is a supreme kingdom of the Celestial Empire. How can we bow down to a barbaric country?”
"Yes, yes, yes, what wishful thinking!”
……
The ministers at the table continued to drink, and the more they spoke, the more agitated they became. They directly cursed all eighteen generations of Batard's ancestors!
Li Shi Min heard the ministers discussing Batard, and the joy he felt when he was drinking disappeared. He frowned again.
Batar and the Turks had always been a thorn in his heart. Every time he thought of them, Li Shiming felt depressed.
Li Shi Min frowned. Seeing that Chen Mo was still drinking, he asked curiously,"
"Chen Mo, this Batar and the Turks are so arrogant, looking down on our Great Tang. Do you have any good ideas?”
The ministers at the table stopped their discussion and looked at Chen Mo curiously.
In their eyes, Chen Mo was just a lucky man on a deserted island. In front of such a national event, he would not have any opinions.
After all, Chen Mo was a country bumpkin. He might not even have a complete understanding of words. How could he have any insight into national affairs?
His Majesty actually asked such a shallow person for a good plan. He must have drunk too much!
Du Ruhui didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the officials looking at Chen Mo with mocking expressions.
After all, Chen Mo was the one who had proposed the policy to divide the ethnic minorities in Lingzhou. If such a talented person didn't understand the state affairs, who would?
Thinking of this, Du Ruhui sneered."
"You guys might be mistaken. The policy of the imperial court to divide the ethnic minorities in Lingzhou was proposed by Chen Mo!”
"It's normal for His Majesty to ask Chen Mo about the plan!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene was in an uproar!
Only Li Shimin and his subordinates knew about the ethnic division policy of the Spiritual State. Therefore, when Du Ruhui mentioned it, everyone was stunned!
Such a stunning and talented person was thought to be ignorant of national affairs. How short-sighted!
Instantly, the ministers who had looked down on Chen Mo felt their faces burn and lowered their heads in shame.
Chen Mo chuckled as he watched everyone's show. He spoke calmly while he was making hotpot.
"Father-in-law, brother-in-law, if you ask me what I think, my answer is very simple. I won't marry you, I won't cede territory, and I won't pay compensation!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shiming and the ministers were all stunned!
No marriage!
Not ceding territory!
No compensation!
This was such a domineering and hot-blooded response, but they really couldn't do it now!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin frowned and asked Lin Yuan worriedly,"
"Chen Mo, if we really do as you say and the Turks attack from the south, what will we do?”
Instantly, all the ministers at the table turned to look at Chen Mo, waiting to see how he would answer.
Chen Mo didn't even think and said with a deep gaze,"
"Right now, the Great Tang is weak and does not have the strength to wage war against the Turks.”
"For now, we can only delay as much as possible and implement the policy of cultivation.”
"How?" Li Shi Min was even more confused and asked.
Hearing this, Chen Mo smiled indifferently."
"Use the rice, sweet potato, and potato seeds I gave you!”
"As long as these three crops are spread throughout the Great Tang, we'll be able to wipe out the Turks within a year!”
Chen Mo's every word was powerful and deafening.
Li Shi Min and the other ministers felt their scalps go numb as they were immersed in the scene that Chen Mo described.
With those seeds that produced astonishing amounts of seeds, the two of them were able to grow.
Within three years, the Great Tang's strength would truly reach new heights.
It wasn't difficult to sweep through the Turks in a year!
After hearing Chen Mo's words, everyone's eyes lit up.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Chen Mo smiled and did not continue.
He took a deep puff of his cigarette.
At this moment, he glanced at Chang Le, who was beside him. His eyes were slightly red, as if he had cried.
"Lizhi, what's wrong with you?" he asked curiously. Why does it look like you've been crying?"
Hearing this, Chang Le recalled the rude actions and vulgar words of the Turkic envoy.
Her heart ached, and her face was filled with grievance.
He did not say anything.
The rest of them were embarrassed, but there was anger in their eyes.
Chen Mo saw the strange expressions on everyone's faces and frowned slightly. He looked at Cheng Yaojin, who had the biggest mouth and could not suppress his thoughts.
"Old Cheng, what's going on?" Did you bully my beauty?”
Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin hurriedly waved his hand and said,"Chen Mo, this has nothing to do with us! It's those Turkic envoys!"
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and murmured,""Turkic envoy?"
