Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 131

"Ok!"

Li Ke lowered his head and thought for a while. Once these small countries unite to form an anti-Tubo camp, it will definitely hinder the development of Tubo and benefit his Shu country. He has to find a way to facilitate this alliance.

He asked again: "What is the connection between King Nivala and Songtsen Gampo?"

Gu Wu shook his head: "This subordinate once sent people to investigate, but no definite clues were found. There are gossip that the king favored a concubine very much, and that concubine was given to him by Songtsan Gampo... ...But the truth is not yet known..."

Li Ke nodded. This matter involves the secret affairs of the palace. No matter how strong his meticulous work ability is, he can't sneak into other people's palace to inquire about the news.

He then asked about the Shang Shung Kingdom: "What about the arms trade in the Shang Shung Kingdom now?"

Gu Wu cupped his hands and said: "The first batch has already been delivered, but King Xiangxiong still wants to buy more, but they don't have any extra money, so they want to pay the debt with spices and exchange them for armaments."

Li Ke lowered his head and pondered for a moment. This spice was considered a rare commodity in the Tang Dynasty, so he could consider agreeing to it.

Although he once sent Xuanzang to go to sea to search for spice seeds, but that was a long-term solution after all, and there was no harvest in a short time.

Anyway, the price he sold for these armaments was not low, far higher than the cost, and now he exchanged them for spices, and he didn't feel distressed.

Besides, the spices are not worrying about selling, he can resell them to those aristocratic families, maybe he can make more money!

Moreover, the expansion of the Zhang Zhung Kingdom is also very beneficial to check and balance Tubo.

Thinking of this, he nodded in agreement: "Okay! Just follow their method and exchange it for spices!"

……

After a few days of busy work, he finished taking care of the chores in Sichuan that he hadn't dealt with for a long time. He finally got some free time. Remembering that he had promised to take his elder Sun Yan out for a stroll, he went back to his backyard and found his eldest Sun Yan.

"Really, do you want to take me out for a stroll?"

Changsun Yan was very happy when she heard the news. She had been nestling in the backyard for the past few days, but she was really suffocated.

Li Ke called a carriage and took her and the little maid Huarui onto the street.

If he wanted to go shopping, he would naturally go to a lively place. Li Ke knew that this girl was greedy, so he chose the busiest snack street in Chengdu, parked the carriage aside, and took her for a walk.

When the two girls, one from the south, got out of the car, the elder Sun Yan was stunned. She looked towards the street food stalls, her eyes were shining brightly.

"Wow! Why are there so many vendors selling snacks here?"

Li Ke smiled and said: "This is a snack street specially planned by me. Each vendor has planned a specific stall. Our government provides tables and chairs and is responsible for cleaning and cleaning. We charge monthly management fees."

"That's a good idea! Gather all these delicious foods together, so that everyone can come for a stroll when they have nothing to do... Chang Sunyan narrowed her eyes and couldn't stop walking forward step on.

Li Ke shook his head, this girl lost her soul when she saw the food.

He pulled Zhang Sun Yan back, and said with concern: "There are many people here, you still hold me, don't get lost!"

Changsun Yan said "Oh" and pursed her lips and snickered obediently.

Li Ke took the initiative to step forward, leading the elder Sun Yan forward.

Changsun Yan is very curious about everything in this snack street. She looks here, buys there, walks around, and picks a lot of food.

Holding a bunch of snacks in his hand, Li Ke finally got tired of picking her up, and led her to the seating area.

This snack street was carefully planned by Li Ke. The seating areas are all concentrated in one place. In order to avoid damage caused by wind and sun, the tables and benches are all cast with cement.

Changsun Yan was very interested in this table and bench, touching here and looking there.
