As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of the four people's mouths twitched in unison.
A thousand strings of money is a small amount of money? Only you dare to say this!
Wei Zheng couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. He finally understood a little what His Majesty meant by an expert!
This was really far above ordinary people!
"Old Li?" Li Yun suddenly raised his head.
"Hmm?" Second Emperor Li was baffled by his stare.
"Where's the money for selling the glass? Why haven't you delivered it to me yet?”
this
Second Emperor Li almost slapped his thigh. This kid still remembered!
"I've been a little busy recently and forgot!”
"Do you want to use it now? I'll get someone to bring it to you!”Second Emperor Li said unwillingly.
It seemed that he had to think of a way to gather some money when he went back.
"Alright, there's no need to rush. Let's do it within half a month.”Li Yun nodded and said," I don't have enough money to repair the road.”
"Why don't you join in?"
"Why would I? I don't mind the bumpy road.”Second Emperor Li said absentmindedly.
He calculated in his heart. If this kid really started to repair the road, wouldn't he take out all the money in the cabinet?
He did not know if the remaining money was enough. If it was not enough, it would be a joke!
"After the road is repaired, I have a way to get back from Li Er. We can split the money together!”Li Yun said.
"What idea did you come up with this time?”Li Er asked warily.
"I can't say, I can't say. Anyway, I definitely won't lose out!”Li Yun continued to bluff,
"Believe me and come. When the time comes, we'll split the money according to the shares. We'll definitely make a profit!”
"No!" When Second Emperor Li heard this, he sneered in his heart. You've already been discovered by me, and you still want to trick me?
Dream on!
"You really don't even want the money that's right in front of you!”
Li Yun shook his head regretfully.
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Wei Zheng was already a little absent-minded.
The way this expert interacted with His Majesty made his scalp tingle!
Everyone in the court said that he was the boldest, finding fault with the Emperor every day!
However, he had never dared to speak to the Emperor like this. Moreover, the Emperor was not angry at all?!
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were also stunned.
Although they had seen Li Yun more than once or twice, today's big move still scared them!
Li Yun did not look like he was joking.
He actually wanted to take out ten million strings of money to build a road!？
Ignoring the four people who were in a daze, Li Yun continued to ask,
"Alright, let's not talk about this. Why did you come back?”
Hearing his question, the four of them finally woke up!
These new things made them forget their purpose for coming!
"Didn't you give advice to the current Emperor last time?”Second Emperor Li said," His Majesty was overjoyed when he found out!”
"You've given me quite a lot of rewards.”
His words gave Li Yun a fright." Old Li, don't harm me. Did Li Er find out about me?”
Second Emperor Li resisted the urge to beat him up and said in a muffled voice,
"The plan was presented in the name of my friend, so the reward was naturally given to him. Don't worry, His Majesty didn't notice you.”
"My friend can't keep the reward for himself, so he asked me to bring it to you!”
"That's good. As long as Li Er didn't find out!”Li Yun heaved a sigh of relief and said," What reward? It couldn't be that he was just giving her some gold, right?”
Second Emperor Li couldn't be bothered to be angry with him anymore. He couldn't afford to give birth!!
Two thousand taels of gold, who dared to say that it was a perfunctory matter?!
Without further ado, he took out something from his pocket and threw it over." See for yourself!"”
Li Yun took it and looked at it. Was this a token?
It was completely golden and looked like it was made of gold.
The word 'Li' was written on it, and there was a vague seal on the lower right corner.
"What is this?" Li Yun read it over and over again and said doubtfully.
He believed that he had some understanding of history, but he had never heard of the Great Tang having a token!
A death-exemption token?
Didn't it only appear during the reign of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty?
Li Er also played this trick?
Moreover, it wasn't written here!
"According to my friend, this is the emperor's decree. If you encounter any difficulties, you can take it to the government for help.”Li Er said in a muffled voice.
This token was specially forged by him. In fact, it was not as simple as he said it was to ask the government for help.
After he finished forging, he had already secretly informed all the state and county yamen in the country.
Seeing this token, it was as if the emperor had come personally!
In other words, if Li Yun took this token to the government, he would represent the current Emperor himself!
With this token, he could even mobilize the army of the state and county!
How exaggerated was this!
If he wasn't worried that something would happen to him when he went south, Second Emperor Li wouldn't have given him such a precious thing!
When Wei Zheng found out about this, he almost fought with him!
No emperor in history had ever done this!
"Alright, that's a little useful.”Li Yun casually threw the token onto the couch.
Fang Xuanling and the other two were shocked by this action!
He glanced at His Majesty out of the corner of his eye.
That person's face began to turn green again!
"Are you all okay? Eat at my place for lunch!”
"Old Fang, Old Du, you haven't been here for a long time. Let's have a drink later!”
Li Yun did not notice the change in the atmosphere and stood up to greet him.
Other than Li Er, the other three nodded silently.
......
At the dining table.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was in high spirits.
Fang Xuanling said," The last time Old Master came back, he mentioned your plan to start a religious war. It was really ingenious!”
"However, I feel that even if the Tibetans are in chaos, there is no need for Your Majesty to send troops to destroy them.”
"Just let them be in chaos and not have the mood to invade the borders of our Great Tang.”
" That's right." Du Ruhui also chimed in." Why would we beat up Tubo? The conditions there are harsh, and our Tang Empire can't stay there for long. Sooner or later, the Tubo people will still be in power."”
This echo made Wei Zheng, who had never experienced such a scene, feel a little flushed!
These two were the heads of all officials, the right-hand men of the current emperor!
It was not an exaggeration to say that he was below one person and above ten thousand people!
Now, they were actually acting together?
According to their plan before they came, they wanted to get information from Li Yun about the plan to settle the Tibetans.
Wei Zheng pricked up his ears. He wanted to hear what kind of brilliant ideas this expert had that could make Fang and Du lose their faces!
"Old Fang, Old Du, I say, the two of you are a little too shallow!”Li Yun took a sip of wine and shook his head.
"If that Tibetan doesn't completely destroy him, he'll be a disaster sooner or later!”
"If we really let it go, how much trouble will our descendants be left with if a capable person really comes out to solve this problem a few generations later?”
"That's true, but our Great Tang isn't rich right now. How much money and talent would it take to fully control the northwest plateau?”Fang Xuanling continued.
"Who said that we have to invest a lot of manpower and resources to fully control it!”Li Yun said disdainfully.
Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up when he heard this!
He was here!
"What do you mean?"
Even Second Emperor Li was no longer angry and listened carefully!
"Do you still remember when we were eating hotpot and talking about the Turkic steppe sheep raising plan?”Li Yun asked.
The four of them nodded in unison.
"Then why ask?" Li Yun frowned and said," You're drawing inferences from one instance!”
Fang Xuanling was speechless!
If I could, why would I come to you?
"There are no sheep on the northwest plateau!”Du Ruhui said.
"Who said we have to raise sheep!" Li Yun said resentfully," Your thinking needs to be more open!”
"Let me ask you, didn't you just say that the grain production in the northwest plateau is not good?”
"Indeed, the lack of food in Tubo has always existed.”Fang Xuanling nodded.
"Then let me ask you again, what kind of food do they eat the most?”Li Yun asked again.
"If I remember correctly, it should be the highland steeds.”Fang Xuanling replied after some thought.
"Isn't that it? We're short of food, and this is the only thing we mainly eat.”
"What can you do with this highland rape?”Li Er couldn't help but ask.
"Barley can be used to make wine!" Li Yun said casually,"We'll use the high price of grain to exchange for highland highland wine with them. Then, we'll sell the highland wine to Guanzhong to exchange for grain. Isn't that enough?!"”
"If our Great Tang truly annihilates the Tibetans, the current ruling class should have been wiped out!”
"The rest are all scattered sand. I don't think they can see the viciousness of this plan!”
"Using a little bit of highland rape to make wine can be exchanged for a large amount of food. Who still eats highland rape? The Tubo people can't fight to make wine!”
"When they get used to this deal, if they dare to rebel in the future, we can stop this deal. Wouldn't they all starve to death?”
Fang Xuanling frowned and pondered for a while before shaking his head." Even if we stop the grain trade, they can still continue to eat highland steeds. How can they starve to death?”
" Old Fang, your thinking is short-sighted again." Li Yun continued to point out," This method consumes the stored food!”
"The grain reserves have all turned into wine. How much can we eat just from the ones planted in the fields?”
"They've been saving for so many years, but they still haven't solved the problem of food. Now that they've stopped saving, can there still be food?”
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling was enlightened!
The other three also looked excited!
As expected!
He knew that Li Yun still had some tricks up his sleeve!
This plan was as vicious as ever!!
However, it was as exquisite as ever!!
Wei Zheng kept shaking his head and suddenly felt enlightened!
Such a simple logic, why didn't any of the officials think of it?
The way he looked at Li Yun now was full of respect!
Scholars took the wise as their teachers. Now he finally understood why, with the status of Second Emperor Li, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's intelligence, they would hold Li Yun in such high esteem!
With such a figure, how could the Great Tang not be powerful?!
