Li Shimin was silent.
Before he came.
In these few days.
The trade between the Tang Dynasty and Zhenla had already begun. After King Zhenla received the news, he rushed from Zhenla to Chang 'an City in six days and signed a hundred-year contract with him!
Although Li Shimin wanted to sign the contract for a few hundred years in one go.
However, he also knew that King Zhenla was an old fox. If he spoke too harshly, it would make him suspicious. Therefore, he was only willing to sign a fifty-year contract at first. However, King Zhenla pestered him and finally settled on a hundred-year contract!
Just like that.
The Ministry of Works did a detailed calculation on the list of goods brought by King Zhenla this time.
King Zhenla had completely gone crazy.
Or perhaps he was afraid of starvation.
Almost all of Zhenla's troops were mobilized to deliver the goods. If it weren't for King Zhenla swearing and using himself as a hostage to guarantee that they were only here to deliver the goods, Li Shimin would have already sent his troops.
And it was precisely because of King Zhenla's madness.
Li Shimin felt the pressure.
The people from the Ministry of Works calculated for two days and two nights. The final amount was as high as fifty million taels of gold!
This put Li Shimin in a difficult position.
Now, he was so poor that he even had to scrimp when he could. He thought that he could struggle for a while with the forty million taels of gold, but now, he was dumbfounded.
He didn't even have enough money for the first batch of goods!
If he didn't think of a way quickly, when people came and asked for money, he would be embarrassed!
Not only would it be embarrassing, but King Zhenla might also do something stupid in his anger.
Money!
When it was time to use it, he regretted not having enough!
Fortunately, King Zhenla wanted food, but Li Shimin also knew that there would be a locust plague next year. How could he be willing to give?
After arguing for a long time, the final agreement was that the Dragon Boat Festival would be half money and half food. However, even so, Li Shimin's Dragon Boat Festival would not be peaceful.
Seeing that his father's birthday was about to be celebrated, he encountered this problem again. He originally wanted to resolve the conflict during his father's birthday and use this matter to make his father happy. Now, it was already a blessing from the heavens that the old man was not sent away!
In the end, Li Shimin avoided Tubo and Tuyuhun's requests to see him and quietly left the palace to seek advice from Zhang Feng.
But looking at it now, what kind of idea was this?
"Brother Zhang Feng, I know how you feel right now, but calm down first!"
"Calm?"
"I'm very calm! I've never been so calm! "
Zhang Feng was angry.
Did this guy think that he was being impulsive?
With a wave of his hand, he interrupted Li Shimin's nagging and said, "Lao Li, believe it or not, I know why you came to see me today. Believe it or not!"
"I don't believe it!"
Li Shimin shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"Fine! I knew you wouldn't believe it! "
Zhang Feng rolled up his sleeves and said, "Actually, I do know why you're here! You're here because of Zhenla's matter, right? "
"And I also know that Zhenla was anxious this time. For the first time, he gave you something that you couldn't eat, right?"
"You don't have enough money!"
"I … How did you know?"
Li Shimin's eyes were as wide as copper coins.
Asked.
He had never mentioned this matter before!
Zhang Feng smiled mysteriously.
"How did I know? I know everything. Do you believe it or not? "
"I don't believe it!"
Li Shimin curled his lips. Previously, he really believed that Zhang Feng had guessed it, but now, he knew that this guy was definitely guessing!
Otherwise, how could he know what happened in the palace when he was in the tavern?
Zhang Feng's mood recovered at this time.
He took a jar of the strongest wine from the counter, took out two big bowls, filled them, and handed them to Li Shimin, saying, "This matter has spread like wildfire in Chang 'an City, and I was the one who instigated this matter. How could I not know?"
"Let me tell you! King Zhenla came to see the Emperor this time, right? Don't say that Zhangsun Wuji didn't inform you about this matter. Did King Zhenla go crazy and use the power of the whole country to bring all the people who could sell it? "
Li Shimin was stunned.
"How did you know?"
"Hey! This is habitual thinking. "
"Think about it. If you were afraid of being poor, and suddenly someone said that the place where you sleep is full of treasures, wouldn't you want to tear down that piece of land and sell it to that person?"
"It seems that this is the truth."
Li Shimin's face slowly became dignified at this time.
Everything was exactly as Zhang Feng said!
"Brother Zhang Feng, to tell you the truth, I also have a deal with Zhenla, but this guy wants to sell Zhenla to me. I don't have enough money now! And the contract has been signed. If I go back on my word, I'm afraid that I'll do something desperate! "
Li Shimin stopped pretending.
He hurriedly asked, "What should we do now?"
"If this matter is messed up, King Zhenla will say it to the Emperor, and I will be completely finished."
Zhang Feng looked at Li Shimin with some contempt.
"Now you know how to be anxious? What were you doing earlier? Don't you know that haste makes waste? "
"It's not that I'm anxious! It's that bastard King Zhenla who cheated. Otherwise, who would know that he brought all the things he could sell? This time I'm in big trouble. King Zhenla wants to show off his power to the Tang Dynasty! "
"No! There's still hope! "
Zhang Feng smiled faintly.
He pointed to the wine bowl.
"As long as you finish this bowl of wine, I'll tell you the way!"
Li Shimin glanced at the big bowl and smelled the pungent smell of wine. Before he drank it, his eyes were stung by the smell of wine. His eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
This guy wanted to take revenge!
That night, was it not enough that I personally put on clothes for him and made his bed for him?
In this world, even the Empress didn't have such treatment!
However, Li Shimin couldn't say it out loud.
He said faintly, "Don't think that I don't know. You said it was a cooperative, didn't you? As soon as I came in, you wanted to trick me into drinking and get me drunk, right?"
"…"
