Hetu Luoshu is extremely important.
Su Chen's heart was filled with fire and longing.
but.
He has to act very calm and try to suppress his greed.
"Although the things are good, they are not easy to get."
"This gold list reminds me that the core disaster is that the random flowers are gradually enchanting the eyes, and the sweet words are confusing people. Combining the various scenes this time, I am afraid that Li Shimin's eastward tour to sign the lottery is not a matter of life safety."
He held his chin, thinking hard, thinking about countermeasures.
Wei Zheng saw that he was silent and thinking hard, so he waited quietly, not daring to disturb him in any way.
The disciples all knew what Su Chen was like and knew that he must be fortune telling at this time.
Therefore, the sound of eating became quieter.
Xiong Zhen was also cautious. He was new here and always followed the lead of his senior brothers.
a long time.
Su Chen stood up and said silently, "I'll serve you tea, Mr. Xiang. Let's drink tea in a quiet room."
Then he went to the quiet room.
When Wei Zheng saw his attitude, he felt uneasy and worried, so he quickly followed him and entered the quiet room.
Sun Simiao winked at Xiong Yan, and he went to guard the door.
Huo Wuhong stood up, brought some tea, and entered the quiet room to wait for orders. Others just did what they were supposed to do.
In a quiet room.
Huo Wuhong poured tea for Su Chen and the two of them, and stood beside them waiting.
When Wei Zheng saw it, he sighed and said: "Master Tianshi is really a god in this world, and the people who serve him are all auspicious beasts, and there are many auspicious things."
Su Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Xiang knows her identity?!"
There are many people coming here, but Wei Zheng is the only one who knows that Huo Wuhong is an auspicious beast.
Wei Zheng said: "I have had a pair of wise eyes since I was a child. I can see through all illusions and return to my true heart. This girl is a crane, and just outside, there is another boy who is a crane, and the child is a dragon. At the door
Standing there is a black bear."
Su Chen was frightened and looked Wei Zheng up and down.
Then he said: "I'm afraid Prime Minister Wei is not a wise man, but he is serving the heaven, right?!"
Heaven?!
Wei Zheng was stunned and said in confusion: "I have never known what the Heavenly Court is, but my country, the Tang Dynasty, can be regarded as the garden of all things in the world, so it is not surprising that it is called the Heavenly Court."
Su Chen had the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart, and he could immediately see that Wei Zheng was not lying.
In other words, Wei Zheng really doesn't know where the heaven is.
"Could it be that this is really not the mythical world of Journey to the West?!"
"Xiong Zhen is not a black bear spirit. There is no Batu Caves in his Black Wind Ridge, there is no Guanyin Temple in the area, and he has no dealings with Elder Jinchi."
"All of this seems to indicate that this is not the myth of Journey to the West. So, am I worrying too much?!"
Su Chen frowned. He felt that there were many similarities between this world and the mythical world of Journey to the West.
But when I looked into it carefully, I found that it was not the case.
For a moment, everyone was a little confused.
Wei Zheng killed the dragon and reported it to Li Shimin afterwards, but Li Shimin was not surprised. This proves that both Wei Zheng and Li Shimin knew about the situation in Heaven.
but.
Li Shimin didn't know about Heavenly Court, and neither did Wei Zheng.
It's just that they all know that there are immortals in the world, but they don't know that there is heaven.
Su Chen muttered, "Could it be that I'm really worrying too much?!"
After thinking wildly for a moment, Su Chen came back to his senses and said: "Mr. Wei, have you ever thought about it, that you are actually the reincarnation of a god who came down to earth to help His Majesty govern the Tang Dynasty."
Wei Zheng nodded and said: "I have thought about it. I have been dreaming that I am the reincarnation of a god."
Su Chen was ecstatic and just when he was about to say something, Wei Zheng said again: "Not only do I have such an idea, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Du Tangjian all have the same idea."
"This~~"
Su Chen was immediately speechless.
He knew that the paranoia of Wei Zheng and others must have broken out. These smart people had achieved achievements that ordinary people could not achieve in their lives. They must have thought that because they were so awesome, they must have been gods in their previous lives.
This is because they can't find any other explanation and can only use gods to explain it.
Su Chen was helpless, unable to find anything from Wei Zheng for the time being, but the future was long.
Wei Zheng said: "Master Tianshi, is it possible to solve the problem by placing a lottery?!"
He never forgot that he asked for a signature for the emperor's eastward tour, and the result was a signature.
Su Chen said: "It can be resolved, but Prime Minister Wei must know why the lot was drawn."
"After all, His Majesty is blessed with great blessings, accompanied by masters, and blessed by gods and Buddhas. Even if there are blind eyes on this eastward tour, it is impossible to threaten him. It must be a near miss. How can it be a lottery?!"
Wei Zheng nodded repeatedly, stroking his beard and said: "I also have this idea, and I can't figure it out."
Su Chen said: "Actually, Prime Minister Wei got it wrong."
He pinched his chin and said: "Your Majesty's decision to sign the lottery is not necessarily a threat to his life. It may affect his emperor's luck, which leads to the signing of the lottery!"
Emperor’s luck?!
Wei Zheng's eyes shone, deeply convinced.
After nodding frequently, he said: "I also think that your Majesty's safety should be no problem. In the world, even if a demon comes, it may not be able to hurt your Majesty. Therefore, the most likely thing is to hurt your majesty's luck as an emperor."
Wei Zheng is indeed qualified to say this, because there are several mortal immortals in the court, and there are also several generals with thousands of years of skill.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there were many talented people and strangers. Li Shimin's safety was absolutely no problem.
Unless a being like Su Chen takes action.
but.
Su Chen is from the Tang Dynasty, so if there is an attack of this level, Su Chen will not stand idly by.
Therefore, Li Shimin is still safe.
Su Chen said: "The emperor's luck is connected with the country's luck. This eastward tour may damage not only the emperor's luck, but also the country's luck."
Wei Zheng was deeply convinced and said: "I think it is very possible, but I don't know what it is that can hurt your majesty's luck."
Su Chen stared at him deeply, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Does Prime Minister Wei really not know?"
Wei Zheng was stunned.
He frowned, then picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, his head seemed to wake up a little.
After pondering for a long time, he said: "I have a guess, but I don't know if it is true."
Then when he saw that Su Chen was silent, he continued: "I feel that His Majesty's eastward tour is too extravagant and wasteful. Moreover, the tour during the Northern Expedition to Goguryeo is not to show off one's power, but to increase pressure on the front line."
Su Chen understood that what Wei Zheng said was true.
Every time an emperor goes on a tour, it is always very grand. It is said that when Qin Shihuang went on a tour to the south, he could spend half a year's tax revenue of the Qin Empire.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty inspected, he spent a quarter of the Han tax revenue at a time. You can imagine how much it cost the emperor to inspect the empire!
Extravagance and waste are understated.
Every time Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty visited the south, he spent even more, which was half the Sui Dynasty's tax revenue.
After all, on a patrol, at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses follow, and hundreds of thousands of laborers are eaten all the way across the border. It is really like locusts crossing the border!
However, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty accumulated a large amount of wealth, which allowed Yang Guang to squander it every time without being stretched.
When the Tang Dynasty rebelled, all the rebels actually had a lot of food and grass, which had been accumulated by the former Sui Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty was different.
In normal times, the Tang Dynasty would still have enough food to eat. After all, Su Chen had too many fairy rice seeds. Even if it tasted bad and had land nutrient requirements, growing it in one state would be enough to feed the whole country.
Even if there are still some aristocratic families holding grain, it will not affect the overall grain consumption of the Tang Dynasty.
but.
That's under normal circumstances.
Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty's attack on Goguryeo consumes several times more than usual. People eat what horses chew, and the food prepared by various places is enough.
If there is another eastward tour, it will not be enough at all, and some large warehouses of grain will be used, which is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
Wei Zheng said: "The harm caused by the Eastern Patrol to the Tang Dynasty was really great. I feel that extravagance and waste will affect the front line and the whole country, so it led to the signing of the lottery."
Su Chen said: "What Prime Minister Wei said is absolutely true, but it's not just that."
Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "What other reason is there?!"
Su Chen took a deep breath and said: "The food of the Tang Dynasty is actually enough for His Majesty to attack Goguryeo, and it is also enough to support his eastward tour. At most, it is just a bit tight."
Wei Zheng pursed his lips.
He felt it was not enough.
Su Chen continued: "Even if Your Majesty doesn't have enough, I have enough here."
The food accumulated in Yunyuan Mountain is enough to feed 500,000 people and 10,000 war horses for three years. A large warehouse has been opened here and mountains of food have been accumulated.
Wei Zheng's eyes shone, "If the Heavenly Master is willing to take action, it will definitely be enough."
Su Chen said: "I can lend it to Your Majesty without charging any interest."
Anyway, his big warehouse is about to run out of space, so if he lends out the old grain, he can still make room for new grain.
Wei Zheng burst into tears of gratitude and knelt down to thank him.
Su Chen added: "Extravage and waste are actually not a big problem. The biggest problem is that your Majesty visited the east and saw that the Tang Dynasty was rich and prosperous, far ahead of the Sui Dynasty. It will definitely breed pride and complacency."
"Besides that, the largest stop of the Eastern Tour is Luoyang. His Majesty's character will definitely settle in the Luoyang Palace. He is very fond of achievements and likes to compare. He will definitely compare with the former Sui Dynasty and praise the present."
If someone else were here, Su Chen really wouldn't say that about Li Shimin.
but.
This person was Wei Zheng, so he didn't shy away from it.
Wei Zheng understood Li Shimin and did not shy away from it. Su Chen also understood it, so he spoke frankly.
Wei Zheng nodded frequently, agreeing with Su Chen's judgment.
According to Li Shimin's character, he must be very happy with his achievements and compare himself with others, especially with the previous emperors.
Su Chen continued: "When His Majesty arrives in Luoyang, what he has to do is to compare whether what he has done is better than that of the previous Sui Dynasty. If so, he will enjoy being better than the previous Sui Dynasty and cannot fall behind."
"Comparisons will become common in Luoyang, officials will offer treasures one after another, and the people will suffer and have resentment towards His Majesty. In addition, Luoyang firmly believes in Buddhism, and the temple will spend money to repair the Luoyang Palace, and Your Majesty will definitely repay it a hundred times."
He had a sneer on his lips and said: "At that time, apart from how much money the Buddhists say, your majesty will definitely give it back with a wave of his hand. Prime Minister Wei, with the greed of the Buddhists, if one tael of silver is needed for repairs, he will offer a hundred dollars
Liang, your Majesty has promised ten thousand liang. By then, the biggest loss of the Tang Dynasty will probably not be food!"
Wei Zheng's body trembled, he really didn't expect this level.
He said hurriedly: "The Luoyang Palace is dilapidated. Even if it is repaired, it will have its own government expenses. How can it accept donations from Buddhism? Moreover, based on my understanding of Buddhism, they will not be willing to part with it."
Su Chen shook his head and said: "If I had known that the emperor was coming, he would have given treasures and donated money under the flattery."
Wei Zheng was anxious.
With his intelligence, he naturally felt that if what Su Chen said was true, it would definitely happen!
He didn't expect that the greatest consumption was here.
Su Chen said: "Wei Xiang, this is not enough. This year is the year of your majesty's talent show. Luoyang is the largest site. This time your majesty comes in person, Luoyang will surely be filled with beauties. When the time comes, the cost will be even greater!"
hiss!
Wei Zheng gasped.
Su Chen added: "Under such a grand event, the front line is advancing with great success, His Majesty's face is bright; the rear selection team is enjoying compliments, with such sweet words, how can the emperor's luck not be affected?!"
thump!
Wei Zheng knelt down.
Cold sweat broke out, "Master Tianshi, what should we do?!"
The exciting plot will follow, so stay tuned.
