Chapter 104 So stupid

Changsun Wuji was very disappointed at this time. He thought he was knowledgeable and talented. But when Chen Ying talked with Li Shimin, he couldn't even get into the mouth. Changsun Wuji quietly left the central army's tent and walked outside the tent. He immediately discovered an abnormal situation. The prince of the Eastern Palace, the left and right guards led by the left and right guards, and the left and right soldiers led by more than 20,000 soldiers in the army, and they all wore down jackets.

Since the winter of the first year of Wude, Chen Ying invented the use of down to steam and disinfect it at high temperature, and then fill it into clothes to replace fur. This light, flexible, warm-keeping down jacket quickly became popular in Chang'an and even sold to the grassland. The price of a down jacket can be sold for two or three hundred guan in Chang'an. If it reaches the hands of Turkic nobles on the grassland, the price will be increased ten times, and it can be sold for two or three hundred taels of gold, which is equivalent to three thousand guan.

Of course, ducks are the best ones. However, in this era, due to the low grain output, artificial ducks are still rare. A down jacket, including a down top and a pair of pants, requires at least one and a half pounds of down, and at least eighty ducks are needed to avoid strength.

The output of down jackets is limited by the number of ducks and has not increased. At this time, there is no hormone feed, and it is all fed by grain or wheat bran. It takes about a year to grow a duck. A duck has to eat nearly eighty or ninety kilograms of grain a year. With the labor cost, a duck costs about eighty to one hundred yuan. However, with the stimulation of the price of down jackets, each duck in Chang'an will be sold for between 150 and 180 yuan, and the cost of down is about forty or fifty cents.

Even if Chen Ying gets a down jacket at a cost, a down jacket will be as high as 60 or 70 silos, and more than 20,000 silos per person, which costs more than 1 million silos. There is also a down quilt, which is probably more than 3 million silos. Thinking of Changsun Wuji, I feel chill. At the beginning of the rebellion, Li Yuan received support from the Wang family of Taiyuan, Wen family of Taiyuan, Cui family of Qinghe and Li family of Longyou. The four major families donated nearly 1.7 million silos of property and supplies to Li Yuan. In this way, Li Yuan and the Li Tang Dynasty did not have to rely on fighting to support the war, plundering the money and food of the people or wealthy families everywhere, thus gaining the name of a benevolent and righteous army.

This information is very important. How could Chen Ying have such a large-scale source of wealth? Obviously, this source of wealth must be Li Jiancheng. Although Chen Ying was born in the Hou Mo Chen family, the Hou Mo Chen family did not have that much financial resources at all.

If Li Jiancheng really received such a large amount of financial support and was willing to invest such a large amount of capital in order to win a chance to attack, then Li Shimin had no chance of winning in this battle for the throne. Whether it was the throne or the world, the most critical and core issue was the same word "money".

As the saying goes, the price of loyalty is that there is not enough bargaining chips for betrayal. Li Jiancheng is willing to invest millions of dollars in a fight. If he wants to win over or buy Li Shimin's direct subordinates, there will probably be only a few people left in the end.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji was not calm at all.

Changsun Wuji returned to the tent, but Chen Ying's face was flushed. He and Li Shimin and Du Ruhui each held a large bowl of coarse porcelain and ate a food called oil-splashed noodles. At this time, the noodles were not called noodles, but soup cakes, but Chen Ying called soup cakes noodles.

Li Shimin was also stubborn, but the name of noodles was more appropriate. Oil-splashed noodles were actually very simple. Put the cooked noodles into a bowl, chopped chopped green onion, pepper powder, salt and other ingredients and a thick layer of chili noodles were spread flat on the noodles, and poured with boiling hot vegetable oil on the seasonings. The oil suddenly boiled. The pepper noodles and pepper noodles were cooked and the bowl was red. Then add appropriate amount of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. You can also add braised sauce, meat, tomatoes and eggs, etc. to eat.

However, at this time, Chen Ying had no chili peppers, which made Chen Ying very regretful. Fortunately, it has been almost two years since he came to this world. Chen Ying was used to the days without chili peppers. He held the bowl. Chen Ying was thinking in his heart whether it was time to get a fleet of American peppers, corn, soybeans, etc. back.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin with a slight look in a daze, rubbing the soup cakes without any image, while wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves.

"Wuji, you're here just in time!" Li Shimin's noodles were not chewed in pieces, and he muttered: "Wait while it's hot, this soup cake..."

Chen Ying corrected again: "Yes, oil splashed on the noodles"!

"Yes, oil splashed on the noodles!" Li Shimin said: "Although it is a simple food in the army, it is better than the delicacies of mountains and seas."

As he said that, Li Shimin said to a guard beside him: "Go and serve me another bowl!"

The guard also swallowed his saliva with difficulty. Although there were no peppers, there was still no shortage of ginger, green onions, garlic, and especially tomatoes. The only regret was that there were no vegetables.

Li Shimin finished cooking three large bowls of noodles in a row and looked at Chen Ying spreading his hands: "Your Highness, you're gone!"

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Du Ruhui. Du Ruhui hurriedly took the strips inside the bowl into his mouth in two or three times, and even the soup in the bowl was not left.

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji hesitating and smiled leisurely, "The Lone King almost forgot that Wuji is a meat eater, and Wuji is not happy. People come and go to get some meat for Wuji!"

At this time, Changsun Wuji was in a state of mind.

Seeing Changsun Wuji nodding, Li Shimin quickly grabbed the bowl of oil splashed noodles specially left for Changsun Wuji, for fear that Changsun Wuji would regret it, so he quickly ate it in.

Chen Ying looked at Du Ruhui who had finished eating and asked, "Your Highness, let's continue?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, continue to say, Keming please trouble you to record!"

Du Ruhui's arms were sore and weak at this time. In just one and a half hours, Chen Ying had already said less than 20,000 words. His wrists were shaking, but the King of Qin had his life, so he had to follow.

Chen Ying held the teacup and Xiao Min said, "The Turks can have absolute economic control, obey the Tang Dynasty, and are willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Even if it is just a nominal surrender, they can also give them a chance to trade with each other, so that they can drink our Tang Dynasty tea and wear Han clothes. It is said that there is something easy to go from being extravagant, and it is difficult to go from being extravagant, and when they develop the habit... Humph..."

For the Tang Dynasty, the surrounding countries were all trash. Even Goguryeo, known as the strongest in Northeast Asia, was actually a semi-nova and semi-agricultural country. They were self-sufficient and could not do it at all. As long as they took economic output, they could completely destroy their already fragile economic system in a very short time.

Changsun Wuji still had the same color towards Chen Yingke, and retorted: "The Turks are fierce and have no one. Even if they have nothing, as long as they have a knife in their hands, they will go south and rob. Now our Tang Dynasty has eliminated Liu Wuzhou and lost the buffer zone with the Turks. Once tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry go south, everything will become Turks!"

"Actually, I can't understand why my Tang Dynasty must send troops? Isn't it good to defeat others without fighting?" Chen Ying smiled and said, "As the saying goes, you must first settle the country. If the Central Plains are not determined, once Dou Jiande from Hebei completes his control over Shandong, he will either turn around and fight against Wang Shichong for the Central Plains, or return to deal with Luo Yi in Youzhou. Once Dou Jiande completes his layout, that is the real misfortune of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "How many soldiers in the world who are defeated without fighting?"

"Why don't there? Just talk about the Luo Khan Ashinashiliver, he has two sons, Ashina Oshe, Ashina Yushe, and he has three younger brothers, Ashina Duo, Ashina Buli, and Ashina Yushe, and this will be done."

Changsun Wuji said: "What does Chuluo Khan's son have to do with our Tang Dynasty? Could it be that they will help the Tang Dynasty kill their father?"

Chen Ying has always been a respectful person, and he has sent someone to him. Changsun Wuji didn't know what kind of gun medicine he took, and he always spoke to him with a gun and a stick. Chen Ying naturally wouldn't be polite. Chen Ying suddenly raised his voice eight degrees to Changsun Wuji: "You are so stupid!"

"You!" Changsun Wuji was so angry that his forehead was bulging with a clear tendon. His face turned red like a piece of red cloth.

Chen Ying suddenly became scared. He was really afraid that Changsun Wuji would be angry in front of him.

You should know that Changsun Wuji's body shape is developing horizontally. As Li Shimin said, he is not happy with meat. He has such a fat body and likes to eat meat. He is a group of people with the three highs. If he gets angry, he will have a life lawsuit.
