Zhen La?
Isn't that the small country on the border in the south?
"Your Majesty, the Zhen La diplomatic group is in Honglu Temple today. The envoys from other countries are basically in Honglu Temple, accompanied by Minister Yan Zhen of Honglu Temple. We didn't find the Zhen La diplomatic group going out!"
"No!"
As Fang Xuanling's voice fell, Du Ruhui's eyes darkened. "Today, when this old subject received the imperial order to receive the foreign envoys, I found that they brought many people of the same generation. I heard that they wanted to experience the glory of the Tang Dynasty, so this old subject let them out of the palace as usual …"
The more Du Ruhui spoke, the paler his face became.
The tavern was a secret in everyone's heart.
It was actually discovered by the Zhen La people, and it was even seen by the Emperor. This matter …
This was serious!
Du Ruhui was ready to punish, but Li Shimin waved his hand indifferently.
"This matter is not your responsibility. I was careless! I also didn't expect them to sneak into the tavern, but I found something interesting! "
Speaking of this, Li Shimin actually smiled slightly.
"Can you guess how miserable the Crown Prince and Princess of Zhen La were when they came out?"
"Zhang Feng actually robbed them clean!"
"What!?"
Wei Zheng was shocked.
If this matter alarmed the Zhen La diplomatic group, the tavern was bound to be exposed.
But Li Shimin was still very indifferent.
He waved his hand and said, "I was also worried before, but when I finally entered the tavern, I found that this kid actually liked that Princess Zhen La!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Zhang Feng liked that kind of person?
Oh my god!
This taste?
Cheng Yaojin smacked his lips. "Brother Zhang Feng, you should have said so earlier! If he likes this kind of person, wouldn't it be better if I bought hundreds of Hu Ji and sent them to him? "
Li Shimin glared at him.
"I was also wrong about this matter. Maybe I was thinking too much? Zhang Feng actually blushed for the first time, hahahaha! "
Li Shimin wanted to laugh when he thought of Zhang Feng's embarrassed look.
Everyone was even more confused, but they felt that it was awesome.
She wondered if she should send some women to Zhang Feng to satisfy his cravings.
Li Shimin shook his head. "Let's not talk about this for now. Actually, these are all my guesses. Don't try to use them to make up stories about him. However, I learned of two important things today!"
"If he hadn't gotten drunk with Prince Zhen La, and if I hadn't poured him a jar of wine and made him drunk, I wouldn't have known that he knew so much! At that time, when I heard about this, I was so shocked that I broke out in cold sweat. "
Everyone was even more confused.
What kind of major event was this? It actually made the Emperor, who was always calm and collected, break out in a cold sweat?
"Your Majesty, are you saying that this matter is related to Zhen La?"
Zhangsun Wuji asked softly.
"Yes!"
"This matter is indeed related to Zhen La! Brother Zhang Feng had a few ideas. He squeezed out all the valuable items from the Crown Prince and the Princess. When the two of them left, they still kept the calligraphy that Zhang Feng gave them as if they were treasures. I knew that something big was going to happen! "
"Sure enough, Zhang Feng has another big plan!"
"Zhen La is in the sea and is surrounded by water on all sides. There are many waterways and, correspondingly, there are also many aquatic products. Let's not talk about these. These are all trivial matters."
"Also, he said that the spices in that place were used by the aboriginals as firewood after some minor adjustments. These are all important points!"
"The important point is! He found a salt mine in Zhen La! "
Li Shimin briefly said what he knew in one breath.
Although everyone was dumbfounded, they were still waiting for the Emperor to speak.
Although they wanted to ask, they didn't dare to interrupt the Emperor's mood. They had seen the Emperor's gloomy face earlier today.
Now that he was in a good mood, no one dared to ruin it.
Seeing that no one asked, Li Shimin felt a little bored.
He picked up Empress Zhangsun's teacup and drank a mouthful.
"Do you know how big the salt mine is?"
"We are stupid and don't know!"
Everyone said in unison.
Li Shimin shook his head and didn't blame them. One must know that when he heard about it, he almost fainted from shock.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin imitated Zhang Feng. His expression was dignified, but he waved his hand majestically and said, "Come on, give me a seat!"
"I'm afraid that you will faint when you hear about this, so be prepared!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Wasn't it just a salt mine?
Was there a need for this?
Although everyone cursed in their hearts, they still thanked him and sat down.
At this time, Li Shimin said mysteriously, "Fang Xuanling, tell me about the landscape of Zhenla!"
"Your Majesty, according to the information we got, Zhenla is surrounded by water on three sides. There are a total of 21 cities with a total population of about 300,000 people. They are basically distributed in the north, east, and west of Zhenla. As for the south, I heard that it's a barren land where birds and beasts are extinct!"
"Yes!"
"That's the place where birds and beasts are extinct. Minister Fang, how big is that place?"
Fang Xuanling seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, "It's almost twice the size of Chang 'an!"
Twice the size!
Li Shimin was secretly surprised.
However, he was more convinced of Zhang Feng's words.
"That place is where the salt mine is located. Zhang Feng said that the salt there is enough for the five million families of the Tang Dynasty to use for 500 years! Can you guess what price Zhang Feng paid to get it? A cart of salt and ten catties of grain! "
"Dong!"
