'What kind of weird stuff is this?'
'First it was a cooperative, and now it's a coupon?'
'Do you think it's a game?'
Li Shimin was speechless.
'I feel like my IQ is not online when I'm with this kid.'
'Where did all my wisdom go?'
Li Shimin slowly sorted out his thoughts, interrupting the eloquent Zhang Feng, "You mean to say that this salt is only a test? If His Majesty approves, or tacitly approves, we can carry it out on a small scale? If the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Works find out, we'll be beheaded! "
"I said you're stupid, but you really can't think straight!"
Zhang Feng rolled his eyes at Li Shimin and said, "Didn't I say it before? What's Zhangsun Wuji's role in this? He's the boss of the Ministry of Justice! As long as you cling to his thigh and drag him down, wouldn't that be perfect? "
Li Shimin's face darkened.
'You're urging one of his officials, the Minister of Justice, to do this in front of me?'
'Just you wait, you'll be caned when you enter the imperial court!'
"You're urging me to rope in his officials to do this business under His Majesty's nose, and he's the Minister of Justice at that. If His Majesty finds out, aren't you afraid of being caned?"
Li Shimin glared at Zhang Feng and asked.
Zhang Feng waved his hand.
"Based on my observation of His Majesty, do you think His Majesty is like you?"
"Ever since the Xuanwu Gate and the Wei River incident, the opposition to His Majesty in the imperial court and among the people has become stronger and stronger. During this period of time, their views have changed slightly. Do you think His Majesty doesn't want to establish his authority?"
"He wants to!"
"But he doesn't have a chance. Now that the Tang Dynasty has just stabilized, what does the Tang Dynasty need the most? What we need the most is economic recovery, so that the Tang Dynasty can operate again. Only in this way can we ensure that the Tang Dynasty stands tall! "
"But now, the plague of locusts has stirred up a storm in the court. We can't hide it anymore. Although I don't know how Lao Li's servants leaked the news and what they said, I think His Majesty is up to something!"
Li Shimin was shocked!
How could he have guessed it?
Zhang Feng said again, "Do you know about the hunting of chickens, ducks, and pigs in Chang 'an City?"
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng quickly nodded.
Wei Zheng rubbed his chin. "That incident caused a huge uproar in the city, but it ended abruptly. Who doesn't know?"
"That's it!"
"Why did the emperor end things so hastily? It was because of the opposition! Moreover, he also felt guilty! If there was no plague of locusts, wouldn't he be unable to stand up? So, he's waiting! "
"Waiting for what?"
Wei Zheng also felt that it was strange.
Previously, he only thought that the emperor was exaggerating. But after learning about Longyou's situation and the countless insect eggs in the ground, Wei Zheng also had some doubts, but he didn't dare to ask.
As a subject, he didn't dare to guess the emperor's thoughts!
However, at this time, Zhang Feng said it without any hesitation. He also wanted to hear what Zhang Feng knew!
Li Shimin was also interested at this time.
He wanted to know how much Zhang Feng had guessed!
"The emperor wants to take the opportunity to suppress the Confucian officials who are the most opposed to him!"
！！！
Li Shimin was shocked.
He guessed it all right!
How did Zhang Feng guess it?
Could it be that he observed it in the market?
But …
Wasn't this a little too scary?
But, this was no longer important!
This person must be used by me, Li Shimin! With him, I'll definitely get twice the result with half the effort!
Just as Li Shimin was immersed in endless emotions, Wei Zheng was also shocked.
Since he followed the emperor to this small tavern.
What kind of information came out from here that was useless?
What kind of thing didn't shock the world?
Even Tubo and other countries were schemed against by Zhang Feng. They even cheated 40 million taels of gold from Tubo. This time, they accidentally found this kind of salt. Although in Zhang Feng's eyes, this thing was small and not enough to arouse his interest, Wei Zheng knew that this thing would definitely cause a bloody storm if it was placed in the Tang Dynasty!
Why did Tubo and other countries covet Longyou Road?
Why did the Tang Dynasty send a large number of troops to guard Longyou Road?
Did they have nothing to do?
Or was that place rich?
None of them!
That place was either a desert or a wasteland!
It was because there were salt mines that controlled the Western Region and half of the Tang Dynasty!
They also needed to eat salt!
Therefore, no matter what, Longyou Road must be controlled by the Tang Dynasty!
This was equivalent to choking the throat of the surrounding countries!
But once this salt came out …
Once the news spread out, Wei Zheng didn't dare to think about it!
He didn't want to think about it!
Then, it would definitely be a bloody storm!
And at this time, if the gold, silver and other things were exchanged for this piece of paper, then …
It didn't mean that the Tang Dynasty would seize the money of the people in the world in a short time. They only needed a piece of paper to control the surrounding economy …
A layer of fine white hair appeared on Wei Zheng's forehead!
Too vicious!
Damn it!
This Zhang Feng was really f * cking inhumane!
