Similarly, Fang Xuanling, Zai Changsun Wuji and others also looked solemn!
Seeing this, Upatong thought that Li Shimin was dissatisfied, so he looked bitter and said quickly: "Honorable Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if you think it is expensive, you can also use one pound of white salt to buy seventy pounds of grain!"
The expressions of Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others changed again.
They didn't expect that these Linyi hozens valued food so low. It seemed that food was really running rampant in Linyi?
Upatong shuddered, and said again quickly: "Honorable Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, one pound of white salt can be at most one hundred pounds of grain, no more!"
This time, Li Shimin could also see that this should be the limit of Lin Yi's envoy. He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"One pound of white salt can be exchanged for one hundred pounds of grain?"
"Exactly!"
Upathong breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others nodded slowly.
"Can!"
Upasana is happy.
Li Shimin asked again: "How about using glass as food?"
"A piece of glass weighs three hundred pounds of grain?"
"not enough!"
"Five hundred pounds?"
"At least 1,500 kilograms!"
Changsun Wuji said suddenly.
"Fifteen hundred pounds?"
Upathong thought for a moment, then nodded with a relaxed expression: "Okay!"
Changsun Wuji was overjoyed, glanced at Li Shimin, and then continued to ask: "Where is the tea?"
"Sir, can one pound of tea be exchanged for two hundred pounds of grain?"
"At least five hundred pounds!"
"also!"
"Where's the liquor?"
"Liquor...a thousand catties?"
"I, King Jin of the Tang Dynasty, just auctioned a hundred bottles of liquor today. One bottle of liquor can be purchased for five hundred dan, and Erlin Yi needs at least one thousand dan of grain to buy a bottle of liquor!"
"A thousand stones?"
"It takes one thousand kilograms of white salt to exchange for grain to get a bottle of white wine!"
Thinking that Lin Yi's hozen didn't understand arithmetic, Changsun Wuji explained.
"One thousand pounds of white salt in exchange for grain?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Upathong's eyes, he really hadn't figured it out yet.
However, thinking of how highly these nobles of the Tang Dynasty admired the liquor, they nodded slowly.
"Can!"
"Very good!"
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others all had a glimmer of satisfaction in their eyes.
"I don't know where the envoy from Linyi will go to Linyi. I, the Tang Dynasty, sent an envoy to go with you to Linyi to buy food!"
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Upatung's eyes.
"Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, what will happen in one month?"
Obviously, Upatong was still a little reluctant to let go of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
"No, ten days at the latest!"
Hou Junji stared at Upatong.
Seeing this, Upatong shuddered, nodded repeatedly, and did not dare to say another word.
"Very good, then we will set off for Linyi in ten days!"
Li Shimin didn't seem to see anything, and nodded happily.
Then, he waved his hand and asked the waiter to take Upa Annunciation and leave.
Seeing this, Upatung walked out with a happy face.
It allowed Datang to use white salt, tea, glass and other items to go to Linyi to buy food. No matter what, it was a great thing for Linyi.
Even after he returned to Linyi with the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, he would be rewarded by His Majesty the King!
When Upatong was sent out, the whole hall suddenly started to boil.
"Your Majesty, I would like to invite you to personally lead the envoy to Linyi. I will seize the opportunity to destroy all Linyi and let the whole country cultivate food for me in the Tang Dynasty!"
Hou Junji reported to Li Shimin with an expectant look on his face.
"Your Majesty, I also think that this kind of behavior is more beneficial to the Tang Dynasty!"
Changsun Wuji also echoed sadly.
"Slave Lin Yi?"
Li Shimin thought about it again and again, and without waiting for a few people to speak, he calmed down and said directly: "Since I, the king of a country, have made an agreement with the Linyi envoy to go to Linyi to buy grain, I must not go to Linyi to buy grain."
Be the one who breaks your word!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Hou Junji, Changsun Wuji and others had a flash of helplessness in their eyes, but they did not speak again.
"Maoyo."
Li Shimin shouted.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Tang Jian's face lit up and he quickly stood up and saluted.
Li Shimin explained: "When I go to Linyi this time, you will be the envoy, and Zuo Wuhou Zhonglang General Su Dingfang will be the deputy envoy. We must check the situation of Linyi and his country clearly."
Tang Jian looked solemn and said, "It's okay. Your Majesty, don't worry. When I go this time, I will definitely investigate the country of Linyi clearly, so that there will be no secrets in front of me, the Tang Dynasty!"
"Um!"
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction. He still had great trust in this minister who was the first to follow Li's army.
"In these ten days, you will collect supplies as soon as possible. If we can buy two million stones of grain from Linyi this time, our Tang Dynasty will not be short of food this year!
The situation can be decided by you!"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. According to Upatong's wishes, Lin Yi must have a large amount of food stored in it!"
Tang Jian's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed his hands solemnly.
As for Lin Yi not having two million stones of food? That doesn't matter. All he needs to do is ask Su Dingfang to send troops to search, and everything will be there!
He dared to deceive the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. As an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, he should teach Lin Yi a lesson!
On the side, Hou Junji's face was full of longing, but Li Shimin didn't even look at him, which made him very depressed.
"Very good!"
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others also knew what Tang Jian was thinking.
Not much was said, but they all took it as a matter of course.
Afterwards, after chatting casually for a while, Tang Jian said goodbye to Li Shimin and prepared for his envoy trip.
In the afternoon, edicts were issued one after another from Tai Chi Palace.
Tang Jian was ordered to go to the states along the way to Linyi, such as Hangzhou, Taizhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou... and other states. Each state sent 600 troops and five ships!
Therefore, when Tang Jian led the envoy fleet all the way south along the coastline of the Tang Dynasty, every time he passed a state, a fleet would be added. After arriving at Linyi, the number of fleets increased from ten to
A huge fleet of sixty ships with nearly ten thousand soldiers.
Everyone in Lin Yi's country was shocked.
However, regarding these, Li Xuan just chuckled after hearing Li Chengqian's report.
I hope those lazy guys in Linyi can satisfy Tang Jian.
Five days after the liquor auction was completed, news came.
The second steel giant ship has been successfully built.
Li Xuan also brought Ma Xi, Xue Rengui, and 600 personal guards to Qingzhou.
Accompanying him were Gao Biaoren, the envoy sent by Li Shimin, and two thousand soldiers and generals, as well as the captain Li Gaoping, as well as ten thousand bombs, ten thousand bombs, and twenty thousand arrows and bombs!
A total of three thousand soldiers and twelve large ships, led by the Japanese envoy Inugami Mita's fleet, headed for the Japanese country in a mighty manner.
Captain Li Gaoping is Li Xiaogong's old subordinate. He is tall and tall, with a scar from top to bottom on his face. At first glance, he looks like a tough man!
The two thousand soldiers and generals were all old subordinates who had followed Li Xiaogong in the war, or elite soldiers from coastal cities such as Qingzhou and Dengzhou.
Not only were they familiar with water battles, but if Li Xuan and others jumped into the sea, these people could drag one by one and swim for half a day.
Moreover, the boatmen of these fleets are also composed of veterans.
It can be said that Li Shimin put a lot of thought into the safety of Li Shimin's fleet.
After all, there was a group of little bastards following on the ship.
Li Xuan was also full of headaches for these little bastards who had to follow him to the Japanese country life or death.
