Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 148
Gu Wu was still leaning against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed at this time. He seemed to be talking to himself, but Sangjidu pricked up his ears and listened carefully to his "babbling".

"On the first day, the box was half a person tall and filled with treasures. But His Highness didn't agree..."

"The next day, the prince sent another box, His Highness is still not satisfied..."

"After three days in a row, His Highness finally agreed to see the second prince, and the second prince brought up two more boxes..."

"Five boxes full of treasures... I'm dazzled..."

Gu Wu talked to himself, while Sangjidu who was at the side was terrified when he heard it. The two princes were really willing to spend their money on the treasures in the five boxes.

He immediately murmured in his heart, does the second prince really have so many treasures?He has been oppressed by the eldest prince in the country, how can he get so much money?

But when he thought about the benefits that the second prince could get from making this deal, he dispelled this doubt again.

What's the point of borrowing some money from other places for the sake of huge profits?

At this time, Gu Wu stretched as if he had fallen asleep.

He opened his eyes and rubbed them, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I fell asleep just now... I didn't say anything I shouldn't have said, did I?"

His little trick made Sangjidu laugh in his heart, and Sangjidu shook his head quickly: "No, Brother Gu slept soundly, and he didn't say anything just now!"

"Oh, all right!"

Gu Wu patted his chest lightly, but "inadvertently" patted the brocade box in his arms, and he looked at Sangjidu with a smile: "Then this box?"

Sang Jidu patted Gu Wu on the shoulder: "This is Brother Gu's stuff, Brother Gu just put it away by himself!"

He is more than ten years older than Gu Wu, but when he calls brother, his face doesn't blush and his heart beats.

At the end, Sangjidu added another sentence: "As long as this matter can be accomplished, I will thank you again, Brother Gu, just wait to receive the big box!"

At this time, Gu Wucai smiled meaningfully, nodded, tucked the box into his arms, and hid it in his clothes.

Following Gu Wu to the station, after checking in, Sangjidu hurried to his room.

He wanted to write a letter to the eldest prince immediately, telling him all the information he had found out, and asking the eldest prince to make the final decision.

The second prince sent five large boxes of treasures, so if he wants to accomplish this, he must send more than others.

But this time he only brought a box of treasure, which was far from enough.

Therefore, whether to give up here or spend a lot of money to promote this matter, the eldest prince needs to make his own decision.

However, considering that the eldest prince had entrusted him to make this happen no matter how much it cost, Sangjidu was confident that the eldest prince would definitely send someone to send another treasure!

……

Shu Palace, flower hall.

Li Keduan sat in the main seat of the flower hall, holding two brocade boxes in his hands, while Gu Wu stood in front of him with his head bowed.

These two brocade boxes are one big and one small, and they are filled with pearls, agates and other precious stones.

"Haha, this eldest prince, Hassan, is willing to spend money! If it wasn't for his position being different from mine, I would really like to do business with him..."

Li Ke played with the two brocade boxes and smiled leisurely.

He raised his head again and looked at Gu Wu with a rigid face: "I never imagined that you, Gu Wu with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could fool that mouse spirit into a daze!"

Gu Wu frowned slightly, and complained: "Your Highness, the lowly position almost exposed the truth, this is really too bad..."

Li Ke felt straight in his heart: "Is this more tiring than killing people?"

"Tired, much more tiring than killing people!" Gu Wu said with affirmation.

"Okay, okay! You just need to put in more thought these days, and you must make that mouse spirit feel that he can do this with a little more money..."

Li Ke leaned back on the chair, and asked again: "The third batch of silk cloth that arrived in Nibala, has it been shipped out?"

Gu Wu cupped his hands: "Well! The people have been arranged to be transported there, and it is estimated that in three or four days, it should be in the hands of the second prince..."

Li Ke nodded, and he calculated the time. It would take at least half a month to send the letter from the rat spirit to Nibalo, and then send the treasure from Nibalo.

At that time, he and the second prince probably could do another deal.

According to the second prince's letter, this silk cloth is very popular in Nivara. He has now controlled the entire Nivara silk market and is working hard to open up markets in neighboring countries.

At this rate of expansion, the second prince has already earned a lot of money. He is now working hard to expand his power, and he is about to compete with the first prince.

In a month or two, I'm afraid that the second prince will overtake the eldest prince and become the most powerful person in the Nibra court.

At that time, the second prince will be able to order the courtiers, speak to the old king, and attack Tubo.

Thinking of this, Li Ke was very happy, and he turned his attention to Tubo again: "Where is Tubo? How is the situation?"

Gu Wu frowned and said, "It's much slower in Tubo, so only two batches of goods have been imported in Lun Keri, and the second batch has not been sold yet..."

Gu Wu hesitated for a moment, then continued: "The Prime Minister of Tubo, Shang Nang, has a lot of wool, and many people under his command make woolen gowns and leather jackets for him, which still occupy the main market in Tubo. Wool sweaters are gaining popularity, but not growing fast enough...”

Li Ke nodded. The Tibetans have been using traditional woolen products for warmth for many years, and they can't change their habits for a while.

Although this wool sweater is good, it is not realistic to completely replace traditional wool products at once.

His purpose was to let this lunkeri quickly seize Shang Nang's market, so that the two important officials in the court would conflict over money matters.

But judging from the current situation, it will take some time to achieve this goal.

But he was not in a hurry, because he knew that Shang Nang was about to face a dilemma, and this dilemma would help Nalun Keri quickly occupy the wool market in Tubo.

At that time, the two right and left hands of Songtsan Gampo will kill each other.

After waving his hand to make Gu Wu retreat, Li Ke walked back to the backyard.

In the courtyard, Princess Sun Yan was hugging with her little maid, reading the newspaper together.

These two women have recently become very interested in the strange stories in newspapers.

They read newspapers together all day long, and the little girl couldn't read well, but Chang Sunyan read to her tirelessly.

Let’s read this. While the two of them were reading, they were still crying and howling.

Li Ke couldn't remember how many times he was woken up by the ghostly screams of these two girls just as he fell asleep.

"Zhang Sheng said to Miss Li, Xiaosheng is being polite, and saw that Miss Li's face changed at this moment, and she turned into a..."

At this moment, Changsun Yan was still muttering non-stop, hugging Huarui.

Li Ke walked over: "Hi! I'm free today, bring..."

"Mom!"

"Miss, there is a ghost!"

As soon as Li Ke approached and said something, the two girls suddenly ran away, hugging each other and shouting.
