Datang: I played synthesis in Zhenguan

"Uncle scolded me well, those four families are really wicked"

Li Shimin had a belch, he was really happy today, he remembered the fact that Cui Lu Wang and Li Si's family pressed him step by step in the Taiji Hall a few days ago.

"It's a pity that such fine wine is only sold in the four of them. How about cooperating with His Majesty?"

Li Shimin's face was pale, his eyes were dull, and his reaction was slow. He was already drunk, but his mind was still thinking about his wine shop.

If it was normal, it would not be impossible for this business to be given to Li Shimin as the shopkeeper, but at this time he had other plans.

"This matter cannot be cooperated with the royal family for the time being."

"Although the wine shop cannot cooperate with the royal family, but I have another workshop here, which can be shared and cooperated with him."

Li Shimin sat there for a while before he realized it.
"Uncle has a new way to make money, what kind of business is it?"

Even if Li Shimin was drunk, he still knew what Zheng Renjing said could make money.

"sugar"

The two words in Zheng Renjing's mouth made Li Shimin feel that he had heard it wrong, making sugar, this thing is really ordinary and inconspicuous.

During the Tang Dynasty, the method of making sugar was popularized, and sucrose and maltose were already in households, and ordinary people also made sugar at home, which was far less than the consumption of salt, so the profit margin was not large.

Looking at him, Zheng Renjing couldn't understand what was going on in his secretary's mind. He asked Xia He to fetch the sugar bowl from the kitchen.

The sugar bowl was opened, and Li Shimin and the others leaned forward, their eyes suddenly full of hope, because Zheng Renjing's sugar bowl contained real white sugar.

White as snow and sweet as honey, it is definitely not comparable to sucrose and maltose in the Tang Dynasty, and it will take another [-] years for Tang Dynasty granulated sugar to appear, even if it is available, it will be much worse than white sugar.

"How about it, do you still dare to underestimate Sugar Making?"

Li Shimin didn't dare to speak big words anymore, it turned out that even a can of candy from my uncle is a treasure in Datang.

"Then I don't know how much this sugar-making method costs and how much it sells for?"

Li Shimin was afraid that the price of such exquisite white sugar would be too expensive for ordinary people to afford, so he could only supply it to the rich and powerful for consumption, so that he would earn less money.

Since the tobacco business, he has known that earning people's money is really fast and delicious.

"I have cultivated sugarcane here. I just need to plant it to double the output. The cost of sugar production is extremely low. The price of white sugar only needs to be equal to that of table salt."

As for the cost price, it must depend on their own planting output.

"Ah~ It's a pity that my land in the Tang Dynasty is poor and weak, and I need to take turns to rest, unlike my uncle who has a good harvest every year!"

He is trying to get some more fetishes from Zheng Renjing that can keep the land from resting, so that he can have a good harvest every year.

"This matter is easy to solve. In a few days, Your Majesty will find some people who can farm, and I will teach them how to fertilize."

Li Shimin was satisfied, as if all problems were not a problem on Zheng Renjing's side, now that he came to have a meal, he did not expect to make another big deal.

Seeking white sugar for the people of the world is a great thing!In the future, we will have to come to eat more.

Just when Li Shimin was in high spirits, he lost his face again, frowning
"Ai~ Such a beautiful day, but I think of some bad things, ai~"

After sighing twice, Zheng Renjing was also surprised that this guy was not so sentimental with him on weekdays.

"Xiao Li, tell me what trouble you encountered again, uncle will solve it for you"

He knew that Secretary Li had something to ask his uncle, and he had nothing to do to eat, so he must have something to ask tonight.

Du Ruhui sat on the side and watched Li Shimin perform. He clearly came here to ask for advice.

"Uncle doesn't know, Ye Hu Khan, the leader of the Western Turks, is coming to the Tang Dynasty to ask for marriage"

"The two factions, the court and the pro and those who are not, are arguing endlessly. Your Majesty can't eat or sleep. I feel distressed seeing it."

After finishing speaking, he pretended to be loyal, and forced some tears out of his eyes.

What does it mean to be unable to eat, he ate the most of the pot of boiled fish just now, and it should be Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling who said they couldn't sleep.

"Oh, you mean Tong Yehu Khan is coming to make a kiss?"

Zheng Renjing counted the years, and it seemed to be delayed. It should have been in Li Yuanwude's ninth year, the middle of the year.

"That's it?"

Li Shimin felt that Zheng Renjing was very indifferent to this matter, and there was no surprise or panic at all.

"On this matter, what do you think His Majesty should do this time!"

Zheng Renjing looked at the full moon and drank a glass of strong wine.

"If it were me, I would not make peace"

Du Ruhui's eyes lit up, look, he said that Yehu Khan, the pro-Western Turkic leader, can't help at this time, and his uncle thinks the same as him.

"But I can't stand Li Shimin, he actually wants to get married in his heart"

Li Shimin was taken aback, but Zheng Renjing guessed it right at once. In fact, Li Shimin was more inclined to Feng Deyi's strategy in his heart.

"However, this time Tong Yehu Khan's marriage proposal, if he agrees, he will also withdraw the engagement. It is better to refuse than to humiliate himself."

Du Ruhui originally thought that Zheng Renjing would turn to the marriage party when he changed the subject, but he didn't expect him to bluntly say that the marriage would not be possible.

"Uncle, are you serious?"

Fang Xuanling was also amazed, how did he know that something that hadn't happened yet would not happen.

"Really, it doesn't matter whether Li Shimin agrees or not, the East Turkic Jieli Khan will not honestly watch the Tang Dynasty make peace with the Western Turkic people."

Zheng Renjing remembered that at this time Li Shimin agreed to Yehu Khan's marriage proposal according to Feng Deyi's strategy. As a result, Xieli Khan sent a letter
"If the princess of the Tang Dynasty wants to get married, she must pass by me."

Tongyehu Khan was scared of such a side threat, and then divorced regardless of the face of the two countries.

This made Li Shimin feel ashamed, he had already prepared the dowry, but the other party actually broke off the engagement.

"If you don't get married, then the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan is still a big disaster. I heard that he has recently gathered a large number of people to attack the Tang Dynasty."

"I want to come to this world and there will be no more peaceful life"

Zheng Renjing was puzzled. This year was the first year of Zhenguan. According to the original year, it should be the ninth year of Wude, and the Turks would indeed invade in large numbers.

The Weishui alliance went directly to the outside of Chang'an city, but that should also be in June, not at the beginning of the year.

"Did something happen, otherwise, why would Jieli Khan suddenly send troops?"

At this time, Changsun Wuji looked at the three people who were already drunk with the eyes of caring for the mentally retarded. These three people ran to Turkic for a while, provoking Jieli Khan to attack.

"It's just a small friction, that is, General Youwuhou of the Tang Dynasty led General Zuowuwei to cooperate with General Zuoling to plunder [-] head of cattle and sheep in Turkic."

Changsun Wuji's tone of voice was a bit cynical, and he almost had to mention who it was by name.

"I think it's that Jieli Khan who is stingy and bara. There are only a few hundred cattle and sheep, and he is impatient."

Zheng Renjing looked at Lao Cheng, he didn't know that the Turkic people didn't do farming, they didn't know how to cultivate land, they couldn't produce food, and they depended on cattle, sheep and God's will for food.

The three generals ran to snatch away the rations of the Turkic tribes. Many people would starve to death. The Turks are not in a hurry if they have no winter rations.

I also feel that the other party is stingy.

"If that's the case, let's face it."

Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling were dumbfounded. How could my uncle propose a war?

The common people were killed and injured during the war, and now the Tang Dynasty has only stabilized for a few years.

"Uncle, don't start a war lightly. Regardless of the casualties of the people, the number of soldiers in this government is a little smaller than that of Jieli Khan, and there is no certainty of victory."

I saw Zheng Renjing let out a breath of white air towards the window

"This winter is the Turkic nightmare"

"This battle must be won"
