"Son, you've been tricked by the big beast!!!”
In Daxing Palace, Li Yuan heard Li Yuanjing's grain storage plan, especially when he heard Li Shimin's usury. He immediately roared.
5% a day, 150% a month.
Only a f * cking idiot would borrow this money?
"Father, don't panic."
Li Yuanjing had just finished speaking when Mo Lifang walked in with a puzzled expression.
Li Yuan told her that his son had taken out a 150% loan for a month.
Molly didn't care. Her family was rich anyway."Retired Emperor, we can still afford the interest of tens or hundreds of strings.”
"However, why don't you borrow this money from your cousin?”
"The interest is not 100 strings, but 1,500 strings!" Li Yuan said expressionlessly.”
Mo Lifang's mouth was wide open, wide enough to fit an egg. She asked in a trembling voice," Yuan Jing, how much did you borrow?"
"Just a thousand strings. Imperial Mother!"
Before Li Yuanjing could finish his sentence, he saw Mo Lifang faint on the ground and immediately supported her.
" Idiot!!!" Li Yuan was heartbroken.
"What if you don't pay it back?" Molly's voice was weak.”
"Mother, don't worry. I've stored more than ten granaries of wheat.”
"I'll earn it back with interest in a month!”
Li Yuanjing said firmly.
Li Yuan and Mo Lifang cried. A bucket of wheat was only three copper coins. No matter how they sold it, they could not earn back the interest of 1,000 strings.
"The famine in the east of the river is coming, and the grain price will definitely soar.”
Swoosh!
The husband and wife stared at Li Yuanjing and said in unison,"Really?"
"Your son is a little immortal. He got this news just by counting his fingers.”
Li Yuanjing nodded.
The two of them only felt that he was unreliable.
......
In the royal study.
"King Zhao has already exchanged over 1000 strings of grain for wheat and has accumulated over 10 storehouses. This amount of rice is enough to feed 100,000 people for three months.”
Zhangsun Wuji stepped into the house and reported to Li Shimin. Then, he smiled.
"Hahahaha!"
Li Shimin sat in front of the table, laughing so hard that his stomach hurt.
Buying food for 1,000 strings of coins was the least profitable business.
"The autumn harvest is coming soon. After the harvest, the grain prices will definitely fall. It's not a good idea for the King of Zhao to hoard grain.”Zhangsun Wuji commented.
This time, Li Shimin borrowed 1,000 strings from Li Yuanjing, and Zhangsun Wuji offered 300 strings.
His goal was to obtain the paper making and cloth dyeing formulas from Li Yuanjing.
The paper produced by the Martial Virtue Hall was white and smooth. It was very good for ink. Whether it was used to print books or write calligraphy, it was a good paper.
In the entire world, only the King of Zhao knew.
There was also the weaving and dyeing techniques of the Martial Virtue Hall. The colors of the silk were exquisite and very elegant. It was light and airy when worn on the body. Mass production would definitely sold well.
Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji had already rented the paper mill, cloth mill, and workers. They were only a month away from Zhao Wang's delivery of the formula.
"Idiot, how could I have such a stupid brother?”
"He actually made a bet with Zhen that he can't interfere with Princess Consort Qi and impeach Zhen in the future, tsk tsk.”
"In a few days, the first batch of grain planted at the end of last winter will be ripe. The grain will be as cheap as grass, and the King of Zhao will be so angry that he will cry.”
Li Shi Min sighed. He had thought that he had encountered a difficult opponent, but in fact, he was just a little brat.
He savored the Da Hong Pao in his teacup happily.
Zhangsun Wuji nodded in agreement. He had never seen such an impulsive person who actually pawned his title and food.
He was also drinking tea leisurely, victory in his hands.
At this moment.
A red-feathered emissary galloped through the layers of palace gates and arrived at the royal study without any obstruction. Seeing the people chatting and laughing, he shouted in a hoarse voice,"
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the East River!"
"Speak!"
"The drought in the east of the river."
Kacha!
The teacup fell to the ground and shattered.
The finest Da Hong Pao dampened the Persian rug.
Li Shi Min stood up in shock.
The Red Plume Envoy continued," There was no rain in the sixteen prefectures east of the river for three months. Now, they finally can't hold on any longer. Large patches of wheat are dying, and the farmlands are dry and cracked.”
Li Shimin collapsed on the chair again, his face swollen from the beating.
He exchanged glances with Zhangsun Wuji, who was also extremely shocked.
"The drought has arrived, and the price of grain has skyrocketed.”Li Shi Min was so jealous that he almost went crazy. When he thought of the bet, his vision turned black.
"Your Majesty!"
"Could this King Zhao be a demon? He actually knows about the world just by staying in the Martial Virtue Hall?”
Zhangsun Wuji looked terrified, clearly frightened.
Logically speaking, no matter how well-informed you are, you can't be faster than the Imperial Court.
However, it was the King of Zhao who did it. Moreover, he was a prophet and had started borrowing money to store up grain a few days ago.
Just now, the two of them were still mocking King Zhao. Now, they were slapping their faces.
So The Clown is me.
Previously, the aristocratic families sold their food and the King of Zhao ate them. Now, the King of Food in Chang 'an City has become the King of Zhao, Li Yuanjing. We still have to beg the King of Zhao.
"Gather the ministers to discuss this matter."
Li Shi Min ordered in a deep voice.
