What else could Shiva ask for?
Last night, because of this matter, he didn't sleep at all. He discussed with Zhenla's delegation for the whole night, but in the end, they all hesitated.
Because if it was an ordinary businessman, how could he have such a great method to solve the crisis in such a short time?
And to ensure Zhenla's safety?
But now, he only wanted to give everything that Master Zhang said yesterday to the Tang Dynasty. He only wanted to let the people live a good life and be free from Tubo's bullying!
Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, and the others looked at each other and smiled.
It seemed that Brother Zhang Feng had arranged everything well!
Li Shimin couldn't help but wave his hand and say, "This matter, just do as you and Brother Zhang Feng said! Someone will discuss the details with you later, but I want a guarantee. Can you make the decision? "
He was most afraid of being deceived.
He wasn't afraid of Zhang Feng, but he was afraid that a little crown prince would make a decision on his own. If King Zhenla didn't recognize the document of the Tang Dynasty when he returned, it would be a little troublesome.
Although it was easy to send troops to attack, it would lose Li Shimin's dignity as an emperor. That was why Li Shimin asked.
Shiva hurriedly swore, "Your Majesty, please rest assured! The goods you mentioned are useless if they can't be sold. Since His Majesty likes them, I believe that my father will definitely agree to this! "
"Furthermore, before I came here, Father warned me that I must meet His Majesty and save Zhen La. However, those stubborn rocks are everywhere in Zhen La, especially the poisonous salt. That is something that has caused my Zhen La a headache for a long time! Now that the Tang Dynasty needs it, how can I refuse? "
"In that case, when the Retired Emperor's birthday is over, you can go back and bring back King Zhenla's handwritten document. Then, I'll agree to this matter!"
Li Shimin waved his hand.
This matter was finally settled.
Although it was a bit of bullying, it could make money!
What he lacked most now was money!
Although it was a little vulgar.
However, money was needed everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, and he was already struggling to make ends meet. If it weren't for the fact that he sold the waterwheel blueprint for a little bit of money, it would still be a huge expense!
Just as Li Shimin was about to leave.
Shiwa hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I believe that there is no need to wait until the end of the birthday celebration. Last night, I have already ordered someone to send a message back to Zhenla. I believe that before the birthday celebration, father's handwritten letter will definitely arrive in Chang 'an!"
"Alright!"
"That's great!"
"Since that's the case, to express our sincerity, my Tang Dynasty will immediately send a caravan to Zhenla. If this goes smoothly, I will sign a hundred-year trade agreement with Zhenla. How about it?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shiva hurriedly bowed.
Li Shimin waved his hand, and Shiva left in a hurry.
A moment later, Li Shimin asked with a serious voice, "My dear ministers, what do you think of our business relationship with Zhen La?"
"I think it's feasible! If the problem of salt is solved, it will be an unprecedented feat for our Tang Dynasty! "
"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Tang Dynasty! "
Everyone cheered in unison.
But then, Du Ruhui and Zhangsun Wuji looked at each other and said, "Your Majesty, although the matter with Zhenla has basically been settled, once the trade agreement starts, the matter of money … I'm afraid that money …"
"Money is a big problem, but I think it should be enough for the time being. Moreover, this matter will be carried out in Chang 'an, and it will definitely attract Tubo's attention. At that time, they won't dare to wait and see anymore!"
"At that time, we can sit back and relax. However, the prerequisite is that before that, we have to shoulder the burden ourselves. This old official is a little worried. Why don't … this old official go and ask Brother Zhang Feng?"
Du Ruhui and Zhangsun Wuji said.
When Zhangsun Wuji mentioned Zhang Feng, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask playfully, "Zhao Guogong, what does Brother Zhang Feng's pot look like? Have you seen it before? "
"No!"
"What pot? I don't know! "
Zhangsun Wuji played dumb in a very bored manner, and this caused everyone to twitch their lips.
They wondered if they should go to Zhang Feng's tavern next time to find a treasure.
After everyone left, Empress Zhangsun came out from the back door of the screen. She looked at Li Shimin and asked worriedly, "Second brother, isn't this a little inappropriate? Although I don't know much about state affairs, this matter is still unknown. Is it really as magical as Zhang Feng said? Are you so sure? "
"Guanyin Maid, do you think I still have a way out?"
"Now, money is needed everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, whether it's the military expenses at the border or other aspects. This salt is extraordinary. If I don't have it in my hands, I won't be at ease!"
"What's more, Zhen La has a huge amount of salt. Haven't I mastered the art of making salt now? Then, think about it. After this year and next year, the Tang Dynasty will really enter an era that I dare not imagine! Isn't this what we want? Isn't this what all the people in the world want? "
Empress Zhangsun didn't say anything.
Looking at Li Shimin's back, which was no longer tall and straight, she felt sad and couldn't help crying.
"Second brother, I understand!"
