Thus, they half-sold and half-gave the pigs to the Great Tang. At that time, in the eyes of the Tubo and Tuyuhun, these were filthy animals. They couldn't even fill their stomachs, so how could they feed the pigs?
Of course, the people of Chang 'an City also thought the same. They all thought that Zhang Feng and himself were crazy to want such things.
However, they didn't expect that Zhang Feng's behavior would shock everyone.
He used inferior pork to make braised meat and began to sell it in Chang 'an City. At first, people couldn't accept this thing. Later, people gradually tried it until they were fascinated.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt a burst of satisfaction. After all, this matter made him proud. He smiled and said, "Of course, I remember. What's wrong? My dear minister. "
Wei Zheng sighed secretly and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what if Tubo and Tuyuhun ask us for food this time?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned.
He really didn't think about this problem because Tubo and Tuyuhun didn't mention this matter at all.
It was as if this incident had never happened. Everyone had forgotten about it.
Now that Wei Zheng mentioned it, he slowly recalled.
"Have you thought of a way?"
Li Shimin asked.
As soon as his voice fell, Cheng Yaojin jumped out.
"What way? We've already borrowed it. Your Majesty, let's be straightforward and not return it. "
"Yes, those two guys won't dare to come to the Tang Dynasty."
To the side, Yuchi respectfully agreed.
Wei Zheng denied, "No, this matter must be dealt with. Otherwise, it will affect the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the two countries."
Li Shimin frowned.
If it were other countries, they wouldn't return it.
However, Tubo and Tuyuhun had always been friendly with the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, the people of the two countries were still in a state of food shortage. The people did not have enough to eat, and there were internal riots.
The Tang Dynasty had just sent 100,000 soldiers to help them stabilize the situation. If things turned sour at this time, what would happen to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?
What if the other side flew into a rage out of humiliation and joined the Battle of Qiuci?
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Li Shimin took a puff of his cigarette and said slowly.
Wei Zheng said with an embarrassed expression, "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty doesn't have much food in reserve. It's not enough to repay the debt."
In fact, he didn't have a solution in mind. He just brought it up for everyone to discuss.
"Damn, since you don't have anything to return, why did you keep talking? If you want me to say it, what's there to return? I borrowed it with my own ability, why should I return it?"
Cheng Yaojin said in a sarcastic tone.
"That's right. Those two old fellows can't even take care of themselves right now. How would they have the time to ask for food from us? I think you guys are worrying too much."
Yuchi Gong also laughed it off.
In fact, Li Shimin had thought of not returning the debt.
However, because of the Battle of Qiuci, he couldn't do that. After all, he was the emperor and had to think of the entire Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Zhangsun Wuji, who had been silent all this time, stood up and smiled faintly. "Your Majesty, this matter was planned by Zhang Feng. It's reasonable to say that he should solve it."
Hearing this, Li Shimin slapped his thigh and said in realization, "Yes, it was that boy's idea. He should solve it." “
Everyone nodded secretly as if to say that it was all this boy's fault.
"Let's go and find that boy."
Li Shimin stood up and walked directly to the door, followed by everyone.
Zhang Mansion.
Zhang Feng was supervising the servants and maids to make cotton-padded clothes.
Yesterday's cotton-padded clothes were sold out as soon as they went on the market. He had to hurry up and make some today, or they would be out of stock.
Under his tireless guidance, a rough roar came from outside the door.
"Fengzi …"
"Fengzi, are you home?"
Zhang Feng pricked up his ears. Yes, it must be Old Cheng and Old Yu again.
These two voices could be heard two alleys away. He didn't need to look to know who they were.
Zhang Feng walked to the door and saw Lao Li and the others. He smiled faintly and said, "I'm home. Come in."
"Okay, we thought you weren't here."
Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and put his arm around Zhang Feng's shoulder and said with a smile.
Yuchi Gong also laughed at the side.
Only Li Shimin and Wei Zheng had sullen faces, as if someone owed them money.
Seeing this, Zhang Feng said with a smile, "What's wrong? Lao Li, Old Wei, who owes you money? "
"It's all your fault."
Li Shimin rolled his eyes at Zhang Feng. After saying that, he walked toward the study of the Zhang residence.
Wei Zheng sighed inwardly, glanced at Zhang Feng, and followed Li Shimin.
Zhang Feng was confused for a moment. He pointed at Li Shimin's back and said to Cheng Yaojin, "What's wrong with Lao Li? What trouble did I cause? "
"Don't pay attention to him. Let's go to the study and get some good wine for me and Old Hei."
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and pulled Zhang Feng into the study.
"Yes, don't pay attention to him. Bring out your good wine."
Yuchi Gong also laughed at the side.
Zhang Feng scratched his head and didn't think too much. He said to Du Ziteng, who was working in the courtyard, "Old Du, bring two jars of good wine to the study and make a few dishes."
Du Ziteng understood and quickly went to prepare.
After saying that, the three of them walked to the study with their arms around each other's shoulders.
