Bodhisattva was stunned for a moment.
"When the army is mobilized, it consumes countless rations and money. How can it earn money for the people?”
She subconsciously retorted.
Li Tai smiled, then focused his energy into his dantian and spoke loudly.
"Dear citizens, I will take this opportunity to tell you about the value of this trip to the west.
Everyone knows that when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, he opened up a passage from Chang 'an to the Western Regions.
Through this passage, we can send our Chinese silk, jade, porcelain, and so on to the western countries.
Do you know how much silk from the Great Tang can be sold for in the Western Regions?”
He paused for a moment.
The commoners shook their heads in ignorance.
What westward?
What envoy to the Western Regions?
How would they know about that?
They were living their own lives, illiterate.
Why would he care about such things?
Those who cared about these things were aristocratic families and merchants!
At this moment, the aristocratic families and merchants in the crowd were frowning.
They didn't want this kind of news to leak in front of ordinary people.
But the one who spoke was the King of Wei!
A living saint!
They did not dare to stop him.
Moreover, His Majesty Li Shi Min was still here!
When Li Tai saw this, he shouted loudly.
"I'll tell you today that the silk of the Great Tang can be sold for thousands of times its value in the western countries.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire scene was in chaos.
"What is it? Can it be sold for so much money?"
"Oh my god, so silk is so valuable!”
"How is this possible? Don't those countries know how to raise silkworms and weave cloth?”
"I didn't know our silk could earn so much money.”
"This is indeed a profitable business!”
Hearing the price, everyone was shocked.
It was too shocking!
Thousands of times!
Just thinking about it was unbelievable.
Bodhisattva frowned when he heard this.
Damn it!
This kind of profit would definitely make people go crazy!
However, someone reacted immediately.
"Damn it! Silk was obviously so valuable, so why did the merchants bid so low when they bought it?”
"Sigh, now that you mention it, it seems like that's true.”
"This is too much!"
"That's right, it's too much!”
"Increase the price! I want to raise the price of the silk next year!"
"Me too. We've suffered a huge loss."
Some people began to feel that they had suffered a huge loss.
Guan Yin Bodhisattva was delighted to see the reaction of the crowd.
That was it!
King of Wei.
Although you said that you were making money, this obviously stimulated your people.
Let's see what you can do now.
Li Tai also heard these words, and then he spoke loudly again.
"Everyone, you have also discovered the problem, right? Why was silk from the Western Regions so expensive? But the silk you took was so cheap?”
Hearing this question, everyone was stumped again.
"Why?"
Even the non-commercial profound equipment had attracted his interest.
Li Tai sighed." This is related to the reason why Bodhisattva doesn't want everyone to earn money."”
"What is it? Is this related to Bodhisattva?"
"Why won't Bodhisattva let us earn money?”
"Your Highness, what is going on?”
The group of people who wanted to earn money went crazy.
Although they did not know that earning money was related to Bodhisattva.
But when they heard that Bodhisattva didn't want them to earn money, they were very angry.
Even their faith had collapsed!
Guan Yin Bodhisattva immediately became anxious.
"Your Highness, don't slander us. When did I stop you from making money?”
Li Tai looked at Bodhisattva and let out a long sigh.
"Bodhisattva, when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, the sky was high and the road was far.
Now that the Great Tang's national strength had increased with great difficulty, it had a chance to open up this path again.
In fact, there were many overlapping points between the western journey of the Buddhist pilgrims and Zhang Qian's journey to the Western Regions.
Our army will escort the people to retrieve the scriptures while repairing this path.
In this way, the silk of our Great Tang can be sold for thousands of times the price.
However, Bodhisattva is not willing to let my army escort you. Isn't this because he doesn't want my people to earn money?
Dear citizens, are you willing to watch helplessly as you can't earn money?”
Li Tai roared.
Money!
Earning money!
Watching helplessly but unable to earn money?
How could this be!
"We don't want to!"
"We want to earn money!"
"We want to earn a hundred or a thousand times more money.”
Everyone's enthusiasm was ignited.
"Do you want to live a better life?" Li Tai continued to roar.”
"Yes!" Countless people began to shout.
"Do you want us to open up the passage to the west and let more money flow into our pockets?”
"Yes!" The shouts grew louder and louder.
"Everyone, should His Majesty send his army west?" Li Tai shouted again.”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The people were completely ignited by the excitement.
Earning money!
It turned out that the army could still earn money by traveling west!
Then how could this matter be stopped?
Not even Bodhisattva!
The army had to go out!
Even Bodhisattva was a little frightened by the angry public opinion.
How did it become like this?
Li Tai's few words stirred up the public's opinion.
This army expedition was almost a matter of certainty!
"Bodhisattva, you see, the people also think that it is only right for our army to go out.”
Li Tai spread his hands casually.
Waste money and manpower?
No, no, no!
This was a money-making business!
Guan Yin Bodhisattva opened her mouth wide.
"You've calculated the money clearly, but you didn't mention anything about the consumption in the process.”
