Chapter 98 It's Really Narcissistic

Qin Huaidao's eyes flashed brightly, and he said, "Your Majesty should be the happiest!"

"That's right." Lin Xuan nodded approvingly.

This is a good opportunity to win a lot of people's hearts, how could Li Shimin not want it.

The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that he hadn't considered it comprehensively before.

Only Li Shimin can do this, and only he can do it.

If he brings back the high-yielding seeds, the people who have benefited from the world will definitely think of him well.

His reputation among the people will also flourish, but this is not a good thing.

After Li Jing destroyed the Eastern Turks, he was named Shangshu Youpushe by Li Shimin because of his meritorious service.

Shangshu Youpushe, the prime minister, seems to have been promoted, but in fact Li Shimin deprived Li Jing of his military power in a disguised form.

Li Jing's prestige in the army was already high, and it reached its peak in the battle to destroy the Eastern Turks, and he was called the military god of the Tang Dynasty.

As the saying goes, the master of high meritorious service, can Li Shimin guard against Li Jing?
Lin Xuan believed that if he brought back high-yielding grain seeds, Li Shimin would definitely reward him and at the same time be suspicious of him.

The morale of the people and the army can be there, but it can't be too high, otherwise Li Shimin will feel threatened.

And once the emperor felt threatened, there would be nothing more than two endings, either to die or to be refrigerated.

Cheng Chumo and the others were not stupid, so they quickly figured out the pros and cons.

"Then when are you going to report to His Majesty?" Cheng Chumo asked.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "It's not me, but us together, let's go now."

Bring Cheng Chumo and the others together, firstly, so that my contribution will not be too great, and secondly, it can deepen their relationship.

"This is not good. After all, you provided the information. We just went to Honglu Temple to inquire about it. How dare you share the credit!" Qin Huaidao said.

Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "That's it. You wait for me at the door first, and I'll get something."

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he didn't give them a chance to refuse at all, and got up and left directly.

"This..." Cheng Chumo looked at the other people, some of them didn't know what to do.

Yuchi Baolin and Li Deju were in a bit of a dilemma. They really wanted the credit, but the others didn't speak up, and they were too embarrassed to say it first.

Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said, "Since Lin Xuan said so, let's do what he said. We'll wait for him at the door."

He somewhat understood Lin Xuan's thoughts, but put himself in the situation and thought, if he faced this situation himself, would he be able to give such a big credit to others?

Lin Xuan came to his study, folded up the written method of military training and put it in his arms.

After thinking about it, I also took out the blueprint of the shock-absorbing steel plate.

"Chunyue, send this blueprint to Mr. Liu's second hand, and ask him to make two sets as soon as possible." Lin Xuan ordered.

"Yes!" Chunyue took the drawing and went out.

……

Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial, and Li Mu came forward to report: "Your Majesty, the sons of Duke Yi and Duke Su of Jingyang County, please see me."

Li Shimin was a little puzzled, why are these people here?
"Let them in!" He was also a little tired and just in time to rest.

Li Mu went out and brought Lin Xuan and the others in.

"Your Majesty, wait for me!" Lin Xuan and the others saluted.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You guys probably won't cause any trouble, do you want me to intercede for you?"

"Your Majesty, I'm here because I have some good news for Your Majesty." Lin Xuan cupped his hands and said.

"Oh, tell me about it." Li Shimin became interested.

Lin Xuan said: "I heard that there is a small country in the south of the Lingnan called Linyi. There is a kind of rice called Champa rice in Linyi country. It can be harvested twice or three times a year, and the output is larger than ours. Tang's is even higher. Even because the output is too high, it cannot be sold, and a lot of grain rots in the field and no one wants it."

"What you said is true?" Li Shimin stood up suddenly as if he had been hit hard.

Lin Xuan said with certainty: "How dare I deceive Your Majesty!"

Now Li Shimin had calmed down, and after sitting down, he asked, "You said you heard about it, why haven't I heard about it?"

"This is what I heard from businessmen from some countries in the south. I asked many businessmen there to verify that this is indeed the case!" Lin Xuan said flickeringly.

He had thought that Li Shimin would ask this question before, so he thought about how to answer it.

As for Li Shimin sending people to investigate, he wasn't worried at all. It's impossible for those businessmen not to know about such things.

"Since those merchants know about it, why is no one transporting grain to Datang to sell?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously.

Lin Xuan explained: "The reason they don't transport food to Datang is because the road is inconvenient and the profit is too low!"

Those businessmen are not stupid. There are all mountain roads in the south of the Lingnan, and the transportation is very inconvenient. Only by transporting food can they make a little money.

And some things from those countries can earn several times or even ten times the profit when they are shipped to Datang, and then they can make a lot of profits when they are shipped back to Datang.

If you transport less food, you can't make money, and if you transport too much, the cost is too high. Only a fool can do it.

Although Li Shimin doesn't understand business, he also knows that businessmen seek profit, so he believes Lin Xuan's words.

"Even if there is a lot of food over there, what's the use if it can't be transported?" Li Shimin said.

In ancient times, food was transported by hand, and the traffic was inconvenient, so more manpower was needed, and soldiers were sent to protect it. People ate horse chews along the way, so how much would be left after transporting it back?

Lin Xuan knew Li Shimin's concerns, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you can take the water route. Starting from Lingnan, take the sea route to Yuhang County, and then you can change boats and take the Grand Canal."

The navigation technology of the Tang Dynasty was not strong, and the court did not pay attention to the importance of shipping.

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "The sea is too stormy and prone to accidents, are you sure it's feasible?"

"Your Majesty, the sea route is dangerous, but we only need to walk a short distance along the coast. We can dock at any time when encountering storms and waves. After the storms pass, what danger can we walk?" Lin Xuan explained.

Lin Xuan's words brightened Li Shimin's eyes, and he said happily: "What you said makes sense, Lin Xuan, if what you said is true, you have made a great contribution, and I will reward you generously!"

"Your Majesty, this is not due to the minister alone. Cheng Chumo and the others all contributed." Lin Xuan said.

This credit is too great, and he can't bear it alone.

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Chumo and the others. Before, he had always heard that they liked to cause trouble and had a bad influence on them, but now he felt that they were a bit pleasing to the eye.

Seeing Li Shimin looking at them, Cheng Chumo and the others straightened their chests unconsciously.

"That's right, I'm very pleased that you know how to share the concerns of the imperial court!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Cheng Chumo and the others said excitedly.

Although Li Shimin didn't say what he would reward them, they were already very excited to get a 'good'.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I don't think the name Zhancheng Dao sounds good, what do you think of Zhenguan Dao?"

Lin Xuan is a little speechless, the seed has not yet been shadowed, and you thought of changing the name, which is really narcissistic.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Lin Xuan and the others praised.

"Haha, you guys go back first, when the seeds come back, I will reward you according to your merits!" Li Shimin said with a big laugh.

　Thank you for your rewards, monthly tickets and recommended tickets, thank you very much!
