Zhao Chen didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking.
All he had to do was to prevent Wu Qi from entering the palace no matter what.
As long as she never enters the palace for the rest of her life, nothing will happen next.
Wu Xi was very happy.
She always thought that Zhao Chen was very impatient with her, so she kept targeting her.
Unexpectedly, when someone said he wanted to take him away, Zhao Chen showed such a tough attitude.
Dad said that beating is kissing and scolding is love.
It turns out that Zhao Chen likes him!
hey-hey!
Wu Qing felt a little happy and drank porridge much faster.
Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen, but didn't think about it any way.
She was just curious why Zhao Chen was so worried about the little girl Wu Qing.
Just now, it was clearly to prevent the emperor from being together with Wu Yu.
Could it be that what else would happen to the emperor and Wu Xi?
"Why are you wrong? Come to Wannian County?" Zhao Chen and Li Shimin asked, bypassing the topic just now.
"I'm here to ask you if I'm here!" Li Shimin took another sip of porridge and looked at Zhao Chen and Wu Ju suspiciously.
He always felt that Zhao Chen had something to hide from him.
"I ask you, how did you come up with the conditions for the mutual market with Tubo? Do you want me to lose everything?"
"Ah? You prodigal son!" Li Shimin's expression became cold and he said dissatisfied with Zhao Chen.
Even now, Li Shimin felt that Zhao Chen was deliberately causing trouble for him.
The 400,000 chunks of private warehouses were tricked by Zhao Chen to build roads long ago.
Now he can't even take out a copper plate.
The treasury cannot provide any extra money.
Zhao Chen was fine. Not only did he promise to give the Tubo people free things, but he also helped the Tubo people build roads.
Li Shimin can understand this road construction as Zhao Chen wanted the Tubo people to work hard and seek convenience for future treatment of Tubo.
But how did he come to this money?
Even if he picks up money on the road every day, he can't get so much.
If you don’t have tens of millions of roads to build a city, you probably won’t be able to do it, and it will take a lot of time.
It costs money!
But there is no money!
Li Shimin once again became obsessed with money.
"Is something that can be solved with money a thing?" Zhao Chen smiled and took something out of his arms.
Expand it, it is a contract that has been written long ago.
"Old Li, this is a contract to borrow money. If you don't have money, you can borrow it from me."
"Of course, this interest is needed, and we can discuss it with our relationship." Zhao Chen pushed the contract to Li Shimin and said with a smile.
Li Shimin glared at Zhao Chen.
He seemed to understand why Zhao Chen had to talk to Lu Dongzan about such conditions.
After all, Zhao Chen just wanted to lend him money.
Then sit at home and collect interest?
Good guy, I think very well.
And the ink marks of this contract were completely dry.
It's probably been writing for several days.
"You knew I would come over." Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen and trembled fiercely.
"No, but I know someone will come here. Will you borrow money? We are not an outsider, so there is no need to be hesitant." Zhao Chen looked at Li Shimin with a smile.
He wrote this contract after discussing with Lu Dongzan.
It costs at least 20 million yuan to build a cement road leading to Lusie City.
With the annual fiscal revenue of 60,700 million yuan in the Tang Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to spend so much money.
If you don’t borrow money from yourself, don’t think about building this path.
But when he borrowed money from himself, the interest alone was not an astronomical figure.
Zhao Chen had already seen the scene of a mountain of copper coins piled up in front of him.
Wu Xi looked at Zhao Chen. She already knew that the person sitting next to her was the saint of the Tang Dynasty as her father said.
The sages of the Tang Dynasty were all unattainable existences of Wu Zi until today.
At that time, Wu Xi was thinking that the saints of the Tang Dynasty must be majestic and domineering people, otherwise how could they control the huge country?
Wu Qi felt that the saints of the Tang Dynasty should be the only one. Wherever they look, everything will surrender.
But now...
Zhao Chen actually drafted the contract for the loan to the emperor.
Dare to let the emperor write an IOU.
Zhao Chen is not the first one, but he dares to be so open and upright and wait for the emperor to take the bait, so he must be the first one.
Wu Qi felt that his three views, which had not yet been fully formed, were suddenly smashed to pieces today.
The eyes that looked at Zhao Chen were even more admirable.
Old Li was still thinking that if he borrowed this money, would Zhao Chen become his creditor in the future?
He will dare to deal with Zhao Chen in the future.
In addition, this guy is shameless, maybe he has to ask himself to collect money from the Tai Chi Hall.
Then...
Li Shimin felt that he might not be able to afford that person.
But then I thought about it and borrowed the money first. If Zhao Chen forced him, he would reveal Zhao Chen's identity.
Then let’s see how Zhao Chen has the face to ask for money from himself.
At worst, I won’t do it as the emperor at that time. Wouldn’t it be enough to do it for him?
Anyway, don’t you give it to him in the future?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly felt that his whole body was bright.
Restraining his inner impulse, he slowly asked Zhao Chen: "How do you ensure that the Tubo people will build a cement road leading to Lusie City?"
Zhao Chen was a little surprised.
Old Li should have to bargain with him at this time, why did he ask about the road construction directly?
Zhao Chen just hesitated for a moment and said, "I have told Lu Dongzan that when building roads, the Tubo people must be allowed to build them by themselves. We provide materials for building roads and pay them wages."
"The wages can be greater than the military pay they served in the army, so a large number of Tubo people will come to build roads."
"In this way, the Tubo people who are willing to join the army will be greatly reduced. Even the original Tubo soldiers will have other ideas because they envy the high wages for road construction."
"Building roads in Tubo is definitely not an easy task. Basically, people will lose their lives every meter."
"But for money and life, there will still be people who enjoy it. It won't take long to go to Tubo's combat effectiveness to be greatly reduced."
"No matter how powerful Songtsen Gampo is, it is impossible to control the greed of the entire Tubo people."
"It only takes one year for Tubo to have civil strife. At that time, you can send a team of light cavalry to take down Luosian cities." Zhao Chen stopped.
When he wanted to drink a sip of water, he saw Li Ruoshuang hand over the tea he had just poured to him.
Li Shimin opened his mouth.
He didn't expect Zhao Chen's plan to be like this.
Apart from spending too much money, this plan is almost perfect.
It's something that people hope they can live better.
If there is a chance, anyone will fight for it.
At that time, if someone dared to stop them, they would definitely be attacked by a group of people.
Songtsen Gampo may be good at it, but he can't control his subordinates' greed no matter what.
What's more, it is Tubo, which is now facing a crisis.
"Since that's the case, why do you say that you provide free supplies to the Tubo people? This is obviously the act of the enemy. If they take the things but don't build roads, wouldn't we be in vain?" Li Shimin asked again,
Chapter completed!
