"When I rushed back from Brother Yi's place, some people from Tubo went to buy soy sauce. I told Brother Yi that it might be Tubo Prime Minister Shang Qinzang's team. "
"Brother Yi said that the alliance between Tubo and Tubo is fake. Someone in the court has already guessed that the person is called Jie Wan, Prime Minister Yao. Is that true?"
Li Chengqi stared at Yao Chong and asked.
Yao Chong quivered and nodded, "There's such a person and such a thing."
"Brother Yi said that Tubo will rebel in August. If that's the case, Tubo is trying to deceive us and catch us off guard. "Li Chengqi revealed the specific month.
"Brother Yi really said that?" Li Longji felt his mouth dry and his voice trembled when he asked.
"Yes." Li Chengqi guaranteed.
"Summon Jie Wan." Li Longji said.
A moment later, a white-haired person entered the hall and clasped his hands, "I'm Jie Wan."
"Tubo will rebel?" Li Longji didn't waste any time.
"I've been guarding the border for many years and have a lot of contact with the Ten Surnames Clan. Previously, Tubo invaded the border but didn't achieve anything. This alliance is definitely to numb us."
The old man's face was full of vicissitudes, but his voice was deep.
Then, he continued, "I've already sent a letter to Prime Minister Yao requesting 100,000 soldiers to guard Qinzhou, Weizhou, and other places."
"Good. I'll reward you for your hard work." Li Longji believed him. This person had been guarding Tubo for many years and had made a lot of contributions.
Later on, when he retired, something happened over there and he was brought back. He was an old official in his seventies.
After Jie Wan left, Li Longji asked someone to change his clothes. He didn't mention anything about King Song's intrusion at all.
Because there was no need to break into the palace and assassinate him, Li Longji would stay with his brothers whenever he had the time. When would there not be a chance to assassinate him?
"Your Majesty, this subject wishes to accompany you." Yao Chong knew what Li Longji wanted to do, so he looked for Li Yi.
"Your subjects agree." Lu Huaishen and Zhang Shuo spoke in unison.
"You all take care of the Imperial Court. I will go with the Empress. I haven't seen Brother Yi for a long time." Li Longji refused.
The Prime Ministers looked at each other. What did he mean by many days? It had only been a few days.
Empress Wang was very happy and changed into a new set of clothes.
Outside, Li Chengqi was already waiting.
"Big Brother, are you still going?" Li Longji asked.
"Today, Brother Yi went into the water and caught a large black fish with his bare hands. It weighed more than thirty catties and he said that one fish could be eaten ten times. I haven't finished my Malatang, so I rushed back to report. "
If Li Chengqi wanted to go, no one could stop him.
Therefore, the three of them led the team to Zhuangzi.
Before they crossed the Baishui Bridge, a group of Tubo people came from the other side of the bridge.
The carriages were filled with jars. There was no need to ask to know that they were filled with soy sauce.
When the first few carriages passed by, the carriages behind were filled with smaller jars. Some were covered with red paper, while others were covered with blue paper.
They were also familiar with these two types of jars. They were fermented bean curd and stinky tofu.
Behind them was a large vat covered with cloth. A familiar smell wafted out. It was spiced tea eggs.
After the two teams passed by, Li Chengqi said with a smile, "From the looks of it, Brother Yi sold a lot."
"We shouldn't sell good things to a rebellious place." Li Longji said as he rode on the bridge.
"Brother Yi said to make money. The cost is low. He's in a good mood after earning Tubo's money." Li Chengqi said with a smile. He understood.
Empress Wang said, "Uncle has a lot of money in his account again."
Of course, she was happy. She had 70% of the profits from the spiced tea eggs.
When their team arrived at Zhuangzi on the other side of the river, a large group of people was watching.
The soldiers in Zhuangzi were holding swords and a few were holding crossbows.
The people protecting Li Longji became nervous, especially the crossbow.
"It's okay." Li Longji waved his hand. He knew the reason.
A group of people from Tubo came to trade. Brother Yi was afraid that the other party would rob them, so the retired soldiers in Zhuangzi came out.
Crossbows were not allowed to be owned by commoners. In Zhuangzi, Brother Yi was given a special gift.
"Let go of the crossbows." Li Yi saw a familiar person and quickly ordered. What should he do if the relative of the imperial family was injured?
The person holding the crossbow removed the arrow, and the person holding the swords put the swords on the ground.
"Big Brother, why are you back?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
"I went to deliver the message. What you said must be passed to the palace." Li Chengqi looked at the things on the ground and said.
Both the people of the manor and the outsiders were watching, but the manor owner was wary of the outsiders who were watching from the sidelines.
On the ground were irregular pieces of gold, bundles of yak skins, beautiful cloud pearls, sacks of black gastrodia, saffron, hairy pieces of musk, and ornately patterned sheepskin towels, all of which were made of tawny. These were all tawny.
There were no other silks or copper coins.
There were more than 30 horses next to them. Obviously, they were also left to be used as payment.
"Uncle, how much did you sell them for?" Empress Wang knew that everything was good.
She also knew about horses. She came from a family of generals and was very good at fighting.
Li Yi shook his head. "Less than 20 million. Tubo people are still rich. Put them away. Don't show your wealth. "
The people around heard this and felt helpless. We already know, but you still don't show it?
Steward Song De ordered people to bring them in.
"Li Dongzhu, don't worry. No bad people can come to our village from our Zhang Family Village." Zhang Xiao, the village chief of the Zhang Family Village, shouted.
"Yes, as long as someone passes by our village, we will definitely ask clearly."
"Li Dongzhu taught us how to make frogs. We will not forget that the villagers have a good life."
"When we have money, we can also buy knives and bows and make our own armor."
"We will not tell anyone about Li Dongzhu's cooking recipes."
The villagers of the Zhang Family Village shouted. The frogs were sold at such a high price. The village could save a lot of money when there were no more frogs.
When the good days came, they had to remember who gave it to them.
If they were sick, they could go to Li Dongzhu to take a look. They had to guard the area well.
The old man had a human face sore on his chest. The small mouth on his face was open and he was about to open his eyes.
The invited doctor shook his head.
In the end, Li Dongzhu cut it open and squeezed out pus and blood. He left a small strip in the wound and said that it was called a fried dough stick. He changed it a few more times and it would be fine.
Even if the white-eyed man was not grateful to Li Dongzhu for giving him a good life, he had to take care of him with a miracle doctor nearby.
Li Yi cupped his fist and bowed to the villagers of the Zhang Family Village to thank them.
The other people who came to threshing also promised that as long as they came here, they would follow suit.
The items were transported away by flatbed cart.
Li Chengqi touched his stomach: "Brother Yi, the fish …"
"Are we eating at noon or at night?" Li Yi asked his two brothers and sisters-in-law.
Li Longji thought for a while and said: "We will eat at night. We will stay here tonight."
He had a lot of questions. He had a lot of time at night, so he asked while eating.
"Yes, uncle, just eat at noon." Empress Wang supported.
Li Chengqi did not mind. He was thinking of bringing a princess here in the future.
"Sister-in-law, do you want money or something? The profit from selling the tea eggs this time, plus the previous one, is 7,217,500 yuan. "
Li Yi asked Empress Wang. She happened to be here, so he gave her the money.
Empress Wang raised her hands. She wanted to count. How much was 70%?
"Sister-in-law, I'm 70% sure it's 5,052,250." Li Yi said directly.
"How … is it too much?" Empress Wang was happy and surprised.
Last time, it was only 2,800,000 yuan. This time, it was a lot more.
"I sold the recipe to the Tubo people." Li Yi explained.
"Ah? You sold the recipe? "Empress Wang felt a pain in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. My recipe only has how to boil, beat, and soak. The last one is to add soy sauce. They can only buy soy sauce and soak it."
Li Yi hurriedly explained. After selling the recipe, he would sell the soy sauce. The soy sauce was the most important part, but the soy sauce recipe was not.
"Hahahaha …" Empress Wang covered her mouth and laughed. She was very satisfied: "I knew uncle would not give away good things."
