The Imperial Palace.
It was bleak and somewhat miserable.
In the huge Imperial Palace, the sun was like a big stove, crazily heating up the Imperial City. The people in the city seemed to have lost their souls, listlessly carrying out the things in their hands.
If it weren't for the Chamberlains of Imperial Insignia and the Imperial Guards marching in unison, the imperial city would have been nothing more than a dead zone!
At the moment when the clock struck midnight, teams of Jinwu Guards in ordinary clothes hurriedly entered the Imperial City from the Vermilion Bird Gate, escorting an ordinary sedan chair.
The moment the palanquin appeared, everyone was flabbergasted.
But when everyone saw the leader, Xiao Guizi, all the people on the road knelt on the ground one after another.
They no longer despised the heat of the floor.
Li Shimin was in the palanquin. He was issuing orders from the palanquin, and the number of Jinwu Guards around the palanquin was rapidly shrinking.
When the last order was drafted, Li Shimin was a little hesitant.
A moment later, he crushed a document that had just been drafted in his hand and asked, "Xiao Guizi, how many people in Chang 'an City bought the seafood from the treasury? How many seafood have not been disposed of? "
Xiao Guizi bowed even lower when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, according to the report just now, there are about 30,000 fish in the sea of stone in the treasury that have not been disposed of. Due to the temperature, a large number of these fish die every hour!"
Li Shimin frowned.
"Did Zhen La's people not come to help? I remember that King Zhen La had promised me that these fish would be alive and kicking before they left the vault. However, why are there so many requests for returns and a large number of deaths in my hands? "
"This …"
"Your Majesty!"
How could Xiao Guizi not know that Li Shimin was angry?
Wiping away his sweat, who knew if it was cold or hot, he said, "This is all because of the closure of the trade route. Also, I heard that because of the hot weather, many people, according to the instructions of the wax people, threw the fish into the river to soak, so …"
"Send a fax to Lord Zhen La. When I return to Taiji Palace, I want to see Lord Zhen La!"
Li Shimin was angry.
The thing he was most afraid of had happened in the end!
The other goods were still fine, but this seafood was alive!
If there was even the slightest mistake, it would definitely cause an immeasurable loss. It would even cause all the merchants to avoid this item in the future!
In that case, how could they talk about trade?
He had eaten this thing before. It was delicious. He never doubted Zhang Feng's words, because if he looked down on Zhang Feng's words, reality would give him a slap!
This time was a good example.
Therefore, Li Shimin was afraid.
What he was afraid of was that this newly established cooperative would cause irreparable losses because of this small matter!
This was especially true for the plans of Tubo and the other countries. Zhenla's product was the best opportunity. Li Shimin would never allow any problems to occur!
A moment later, the sedan chair finally appeared outside Taiji Palace.
When the sedan chair appeared, groups of palace maids, who had been waiting there, fell to the ground uniformly. Even Wei Zheng and the others had been waiting for a long time.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
When Li Shimin got off the sedan chair, everyone knelt down uniformly.
Li Shimin waved his sleeves. "Rise!"
Then, palace maids helped Li Shimin change into a robe as he hurried into Taiji Palace.
When Li Shimin's figure appeared in Taiji Palace, King Zhenla also got up slowly. When he saw the solemn expression on Li Shimin's face, King Zhenla's eyes flickered rapidly.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"You may dispense with the formalities, King Zhenla!"
Li Shimin stepped forward to help King Zhenla up. Without any formalities, he said directly, "I called you here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I'm sure you already know about what happened in Chang 'an. I would like to ask King Zhenla if those marine fishes can still be saved."
"Yes!"
King Zhenla's eyes flickered as he thought to himself, "As expected."
When he saw Li Shimin heave a long sigh of relief, King Zhenla said, "The water of these marine fishes is definitely different from the water of the Tang Dynasty! I forgot to tell Your Majesty about this. After hearing about this from my subordinates today, I also thought about it carefully! "
"This matter can actually still be resolved. As long as Your Majesty can remove the blockade of the trade route in a short period of time, I can guarantee that the loss of these fishes will be minimized within half a month!"
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's face was filled with joy.
"I don't know how Your Majesty wants to handle this matter. I'll listen to you! However, as you know, most of the things in the Chang 'an Local Treasury have been sold. At this time, many merchants are gathered at the entrance of the treasury, looking for a solution. How can this be solved? "
Li Shimin was not worried that King Zhenla did not know how to save the marine fishes.
As a person who grew up by the sea, if he did not have this ability, he would have lived in vain!
The most difficult part was how to save the things that had been sold. Otherwise, the trade route? It was just a joke!
King Zhenla also frowned when he heard this. After pacing around the Imperial Study for a while, he said, "If Your Majesty trusts me, I dare to send more than 3,000 of my personal guards to help these merchants and save those marine fishes in a short period of time. As for the dead ones, if they are not rotten, I can also restore some of their value!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was overjoyed.
"King Zhenla, just tell me, what do you need? I, can, satisfy you! "
"Hahaha!"
King Zhenla laughed heartily.
"I don't need anything, just ten carriages of poisonous salt!"
"…"
