The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 455 Don't even dare to bet

What's more, even if the woolen sweaters are transported from Liangzhou to various parts of the Tang Dynasty, with the current speed of the horses and horses, the farthest place will take at least a month...

Today, it is already winter, and all rivers are frozen, making it difficult for ships to pass.Therefore, it is obviously impossible to deliver all the woolen sweaters to the people of Datang within three days.

So far, Li Er even doubted whether Bai Jingyi had colluded with the aristocratic family for a long time, and suspected that it was Bai Jingyi who was in the White Mansion yesterday, deliberately planning to frame me with the aristocratic family!
When thinking of this, Li Er said slowly: "How is it possible in three days!?"

Not only Li Er didn't believe it, but even the people of the aristocratic family were a little confused. They didn't understand the king of Beiliang.Why do you have such confidence?

Even in the Tang Dynasty, the fastest escort would take a month to travel from south to north.

Xu Maogong stood up and bowed to Bai Jingyi and said, "I don't know how the King of Beiliang can deliver all the woolen sweaters to the people in three days!?"

Cheng Yaojin also shouted at the top of his voice: "Yeah, my old Cheng is also curious. How did the King of Beiliang travel to every corner of the Tang Dynasty in three days?"

"If this speed can be used for marching, then my Tang army will be invincible!"

Everyone nodded secretly, agreeing with Cheng Yaojin's words, after all, with such super speed, no matter what kind of things it is used for, it is bound to be able to achieve great achievements.

Changsun Wuji secretly looked at Bai Jingyi with a sneer, thinking, if Bai Jingyi couldn't do it, what should he do with these things?
But even though he wanted to stand up and ask questions, he didn't have the confidence in his heart.Even more unwilling to offend Bai Jingyi in public.

Recalling all the past events, Changsun Wuji's complexion turned black.But in order to dispel the doubts in his heart, he still winked at the few officials behind him...

After feeling the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, several ministers immediately stood up, bowed to Bai Jing and asked: "This matter is related to the lives of the people of my Tang Dynasty!"

"If the King of Beiliang can't deliver every sweater to the people within three days, wouldn't it cause the people of Tang Dynasty to freeze to death at home!?"

"There are more than 4000 million people recorded in my Tang Dynasty. How can the king of Beiliang find every family?"

After glancing at the few ministers who raised the question, Bai Jingyi looked directly at the eldest grandson Wuji, so frightened that he quickly turned his head back, pretending he didn't see anything.

After all, when they were competing for the position of prime minister, these officials were Changsun Wuji's lackeys.Although I don't know the names of these officials.

But what is certain is that the reason why they dare to stand up and ask questions must be supported by that eldest grandson Wuji.

Bai Jingyi smiled nonchalantly and said, "Since you don't believe me, you can solve it yourself!"

Hearing Bai Jingyi's tough words, Li Er suddenly felt very helpless. The current situation can only depend on Bai Jingyi.

What's more, the remaining 3000 million woolen sweaters are still in the hands of Bai Jingyi. If Bai Jingyi is not believed, it will be difficult for Tang officials to transport these 3000 million woolen sweaters from Liangzhou to China. Datang everywhere.

And I have to be on guard against these officials at all times, and secretly button the woolen sweaters as a hindrance.

Since ancient times, officials and officials have protected each other, even Li Er can't prevent this kind of thing at all, even if some people were frozen to death at home because they didn't get a woolen sweater.

It is inevitable that other officials will hide the facts, or find an excuse to falsely report the number of people.

After all, Li Er had already heard this result in the White Mansion, and heard the tone of several aristocratic families, as if they had done this kind of thing more than once.

Bai Jingyi looked at Li Er with a half-smile, and thought in his heart: "Heh! It's up to now, believe it or not!"

"Anyway, I have already got 500 million guan, even if Li Er disagrees, I can still make a fortune with these woolen sweaters, and at the same time, I can ensure that the people of Datang can wear woolen sweaters!"

Li Er sighed helplessly, and when he lowered his head, he happened to see the IOU above the dragon case.

Up to now, the arrow is on the string and has to be launched.But he didn't believe that Bai Jingyi could really do this.

So Li Er still asked: "Why does Bai Aiqing have such confidence!?"

Bai Jingyi didn't answer directly, but instead smiled lightly and said, "Heh! Your Majesty pays for it, and my ministers contribute their efforts to solve the Tang people! That's all!"

"If the Holy Majesty can't trust the humble minister, then let it go!"

Hearing Bai Jingyi's extremely arrogant words, Li Er felt helpless.

The rest of the ministers originally wanted to ask questions, but after seeing the current situation, they all returned to their positions silently.

As for the princes of the southern vassal states, they dare not say more. , but was thinking about how to curry favor with Bai Jingyi.

They also don't know whether they are considered as people of Datang in Bai Jingyi's heart.

Although he paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty, he never practiced the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Strictly speaking, he was not considered a commoner of the Tang Dynasty.

And the fact is exactly the same. Although these southern vassal states were wolfish ambitions, although they paid tribute, they never regarded themselves as the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Bai Jingyi didn't take them into consideration at all, and even planned that when the waterway opened, he would definitely conquer it himself!

Directly let these vassal states completely become the territory of Tang Dynasty, after all, he is not Li Er who cares about face.

As long as someone pays tribute to him, he regards him as his own subject, and his vanity is extremely bursting...

The entire Tai Chi Hall was completely silent, no one stood up to speak, but their eyes were all fixed on Bai Jingyi.

I hope he can come up with a solution to this matter within three days.

However, Bai Jingyi always looked at Li Er with a half-smile, but didn't intend to speak, seeing that everyone didn't speak.

Bai Jingyi cupped his hands slightly and said: "If the Holy Majesty and everyone present don't believe it, you can make a bet with me!"

"If I deliver every sweater to the people of Datang within three days, each person will donate [-] copper coins or [-] shi of grain to the people of Liangzhou!"

"If the king loses! Double the compensation to everyone!"

Although the bet is not high, everyone present is thinking carefully.

If you directly give these things to the King of Beiliang, you will definitely be able to get the kindness of the King of Beiliang. If you lose the bet, you may even offend the King of Beiliang, not to mention paying for these things.

So this is not worth the loss at all, the civil and military officials present have no intention of betting at all...
