"Yes, Your Highness Princess, when I came to Datang, my mission to get married has been blown away. Now if I go back directly and meet the king empty-handed... wouldn't it be bad?"
"Princess, you have to come up with an idea for us!"
At this time, inside a hotel in Chang'an.
In an upper room, several people in strange clothes gathered together, with different and exciting expressions on their faces.
The two people who spoke to each other and asked the princess for advice with anxious faces were exactly...
Songtsan Jilong!
And Agu Mie.
These two people have almost fainted recently.
This... Chang'an has good products, it's true.
Not only are there good products, but they are also top quality products!
The Chosen King, Holy Iron!
Is this good enough?
This is a gift from the Immortal God, specially given to the true king.
If it's not a real king, then you can't even think of touching it, and you can't find it at all.
According to the investigation by the capable people around Li Er, this meteorite landed hundreds of years ago.
However, during hundreds of years, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties...
Countless regimes have come and gone, but only Li Er now... has obtained this meteorite!
What does this mean?
This Li Er is full of luck!
This luck, in the eyes of the Tubo people, especially the think tank...Princess Youzhu, is nothing else.
It is the meteorite itself!
Recently, they spent hundreds of dollars through various channels and finally got a fine steel knife with a curled blade.
But even so, the blade of this knife is still extremely strong, cutting iron like clay!
Ordinary iron is simply vulnerable to a blow in front of this knife and will break at the touch of it!
It's like kneaded clay.
At first... Princess Youzhu also had doubts.
She has also heard of auspiciousness coming from the sky, flowers blooming in the cold winter, etc., but most of them are just rumors, or the officials and nobles below are just trying to please the royal family.
but……
This time, the evidence is solid!
The knife is still in Princess Youzhu's hand.
"well……"
Princess Youzhu sighed quietly.
"It is indeed the divine iron. It is truly a stroke of luck that Li Er got this treasure."
"Not only this?" Songtsan Jilong said with lingering fear, "I have heard in the past few days that Li Er has received several other auspicious things. What about sweet potatoes, potatoes... these are thousands of kilograms per mu.
What a good thing!”
"..."
Songtsan Jilong sighed and made himself nervous.
The Tang Dynasty has received so many great auspiciousness, wouldn't it be difficult for Tubo to stand up to it?
As a military commander, Agumen did not speak much or show any fear or nervousness, but his face was also serious and worried...
But right now.
Princess Youzhu suddenly smiled sweetly.
"You are thinking too much... It is true that these potatoes and sweet potatoes are good things, but you also know that things from the Central Plains may not survive in our place on the Tubo Plateau... The customs of the two places are completely different."
When Princess Youzhu said this, Songtsan Jilong was startled.
"That's true. Sweet potatoes can survive in Tubo...but after all, they are still in the Central Plains, and they are still cheaper for these Han people, alas!"
"There is no need to say more about what has already happened. We just need to secretly obstruct it and prevent these sweet potatoes from falling into the hands of the Turks... This is the top priority."
"Second, this fine iron... may not be available anywhere."
"ah?"
"Princess, what do you mean?"
As soon as Princess Youzhu finished speaking, Agu Mie and Songzan Jilong immediately pricked up their ears.
This is no ordinary iron, this is holy iron.
If we could bring this steel back to Tubo, wouldn't it be a bloody gain?
I saw Princess Youzhu smiling brightly.
"Everyone, Li Er did issue an edict not to allow people to sell holy iron. This matter is certain. I believe that the person you are worried about is also here."
"Yes princess!"
"This Tang State... No, the Tang Dynasty has the Holy Iron, but we Turks don't have it... I, Agu Mie, am not afraid of fighting, but I am afraid that the other party will use this kind of weapon... Isn't this the Immortal Heaven blessing them!"
"That's why we have to take away the Holy Iron. If we take away the Holy Iron, Changshengtian will no longer protect them, but... protect us!"
"Have you heard recently that although Li Er has issued an edict strictly prohibiting the flow of holy iron out of the country,... the number of holy iron products in Chang'an is still decreasing rapidly?"
"And among the Han people, prices are also constantly rising!"
"this……"
"That's true..."
Agumen and Songtsan Jilong looked at each other and understood.
This is someone secretly purchasing and hoarding Holy Iron!
but……
Songtsan Jilong still had some doubts, "But princess, this person from the Tang Dynasty purchased the Holy Iron. Come to think of it...well, maybe they are just hoarding it. If we contact them, I'm afraid they still won't sell it to us in Tubo."
"Haha, the structure of the Imperial Master is too small, isn't it?"
Princess Youzhu covered her mouth and smiled coyly, "No matter how hard this holy iron is, it is as sharp as clay. It has just been out of the furnace. As time goes by, won't it still rust and decay?"
"Since it is holy iron, it shouldn't rust..."
Agumin muttered.
But he was immediately scolded by Princess Youzhu.
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? As a general, how can you be so superstitious? When this high-quality iron comes into Li's hands, it is already a great luck. If it doesn't rust, how can such a thing happen?
"
"Besides, even if it rusts, is the hardness of this 'standard steel' fake?"
"If Li Er is really a king descended from heaven, these iron weapons are enough for him to defeat the Turks!"
When Princess Youzhu said this, Agu Mie was immediately shocked... "Princess, can't even the Turks stop this holy iron?"
"That's why I say that with this level of hardness... it's already a sacred object. But even sacred objects will decay, so when Li Er got the iron ore, he should use it all to make weapons and arm a million troops to take advantage of the situation to quell the Turks.
.But what did Li Er do?"
"snort!"
"What kind of Holy Master is this who actually uses it to win people's hearts? It means one thing. He, Li Er, is not worthy of possessing such a divine object at all. It is worthy of me, Tubo, to take it!"
Agu Mie and Songzan Jilong nodded in agreement!
This is indeed the truth.
What a mess about people's livelihood, are these things so important?
Directly wiping out the Turks is not a good idea, but actually giving it to the people to make farm tools is simply sick.
Then, Princess Youzhu smiled slightly.
"So this holy iron cannot be preserved for a long time. Since it cannot be preserved for a long time, how can it be used to hoard it? Unless there is a certain degree of certainty that it can definitely be sold."
Agu Mie was still confused.
What are these things the princess is talking about?
But Songtsan Jilong was already breathing rapidly and looked at Princess Youzhu with wide eyes...
"Princess means..."
"Yes, these people who acquire and hoard holy iron... are waiting for us to talk!"
"This time we are carrying a large amount of goods, including saltpeter, sulfur and other alchemy materials, as well as a large amount of gold. These things... I am determined to buy all the holy iron!"
