Wei Zheng couldn't help but stroke his beard.
Once again, he thought highly of Zhang Feng.
If it weren't for the presence of the Emperor and the others, he would have laughed out loud.
He was so excited!
However, at this moment, Zhang Feng's next words made them even more confused.
"Brother Zhang, you … Since the Emperor needs food to solve the problem, how can Tubo not give it to him? If he doesn't give it to him, the Emperor won't give him the solution to the drought! Isn't this like drawing water with a bamboo basket? Isn't this back to the original problem? "
"We have also thought about this matter. However, this matter should, probably, not be as difficult as you described it to be, right? Since Tubo is begging him, how can he not give it to him? "
Only Li Shimin's eyes kept flashing.
"Brother Zhang Feng, are you talking about exchanging food for the waterwheel?"
"No!"
Zhang Feng interrupted them and said mysteriously, "The Emperor is not a fool. If he really does that, not only will he not get what he wants, but it will also cause conflict between the two sides!"
"What?"
"Ouch! Brother Zhang, don't beat around the bush. Just say it directly. If you were that person, how would you solve this problem? "
"That's right! You're always so flustered. Our hearts can't keep up with you! "
Cheng Yaojin patted Zhang Feng on the shoulder and said speechlessly.
This slap hurt Zhang Feng so much that he grimaced.
It hurt too much.
What kind of farm work did Old Chen do before? His strength, this … Was he a dung picker?
No, I have to remember him and stay away from him in the future …
Zhang Feng marked Cheng Yaojin as a boorish man in his heart and said, "Okay! In that case, I won't beat around the bush. I don't know if you understand, but I'll try to be as straightforward as possible! "
"Actually, Tubo definitely won't agree to ask for food so directly! Right now, their citizens are so hungry that they're eating tree bark and grass roots. Their food is concentrated in the hands of a few wealthy merchants. Most of it is in the hands of the royal family and nobles. If you want their food, wouldn't you be asking for their lives? "
Li Shimin was shocked.
He hurriedly asked, "Then you mean … we shouldn't save them first?"
"Wrong!"
"Then, do you mean that we should let the Tang Dynasty send an envoy to Tubo and directly make a deal with their senior officials? Otherwise, where would the food come from? "
Wei Zheng hurriedly added.
However, Zhang Feng rejected all of them.
"No!"
"It's not like that!"
"Right now, things haven't developed to the point where it's imminent. And their food, even the commoners at the bottom don't know anything about it, so we have to give it to them! However, we still have to let this matter fester! "
"First of all, if that person is really the Emperor of the Thousand Ages, it will depend on whether he has the guts to do so!"
"What guts?"
Li Shimin clenched his fists slightly.
Then, he said, "I've heard a little about this matter. The current Emperor does have plans in this regard!"
Zhang Feng nodded when he heard that.
"It's fine. Don't try to figure out the current Emperor's affairs. Be careful not to get yourself into trouble. Commoners like us should just live our own lives!"
Li Shimin immediately nodded his head as if he had learned something.
Zhang Feng continued, "Actually, the guts depends on whether he dares to take the risk!"
"If he dares to take the risk! Sell the waterwheel to him, dismantle it and sell it to him! We'll pretend that we don't know about the insect eggs! When his locusts really erupt, hehe, that's the time to make a fortune! "
"Let's talk about the waterwheel first!"
"As for the blueprint, I think the current Emperor has already gotten it. If I were the Emperor, I would sell the blueprint to them at a high price!"
"What? Blueprint? "
"Didn't you just say that you want to protect the core things? Where did that come from? "
Li Shimin was dumbfounded.
Zhang Feng gestured for Li Shimin to calm down.
"This is your chance to make a fortune!"
"Think about it. Have you given them your core secrets?"
"No!"
"Because I've said it before. Even if Lu Ban was alive, he wouldn't be able to come up with something like this! If that's the case, they can take the blueprint back and let them publicize it themselves. What kind of thing has been imported from the Tang Dynasty? This thing is guaranteed to be able to cure the drought! "
"If you were the king of Tubo, would you do that?"
"That's for sure! That way, the people's hearts can be stabilized! "
Li Shimin slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "I know. What you mean is that we should give them the blueprint first and let them publicize it themselves. When everyone in Tubo knows about this, they'll look back and realize that they can't do anything with it!"
Zhang Feng smiled mysteriously.
"Then, what do you think they'll do?"
Li Shimin was so excited that his fists, which were hidden in his sleeves, were clenched tightly.
"Brother Zhang, what you mean is that they'll really panic at this time, and then we'll take the opportunity to get food from them and pass on the technology?"
Unscrupulous merchant!
What a f * cking unscrupulous merchant!
Zhang Feng was the most unscrupulous merchant in the world!
At this moment, Li Shimin's forehead was covered in a thin layer of cold sweat.
Damn it, he would never let this kid do business in the future!
He would definitely be screwed!
