I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Zhang Nuo drank a glass of wine with a smile, watching Lao Du staring blankly with his mouth half open.

These are all things that can be seen everywhere on the Internet in later generations. It is nothing more than using economic means to paralyze the other party, especially for those who are not highly educated. This method has been tried repeatedly.

Seeing that Lao Du was still in a daze, Zhang Nuo continued to pretend.

"Old Du, you said that if they fight back and forth and many people die, will someone ask Datang for help? After all, the business relationship between us and them is still there!"

"At that time, the benefits of dispatching the army will naturally be indispensable. After all, it is to mediate conflicts and help them fight."

"After the mediation is over, they will naturally have to garrison troops on the grasslands to prevent them from fighting again. Then their troops will be of little use. How about raising sheep and making money in peace of mind?"

Du Ru looked at Zhang Nuo dumbfounded, and the little alcohol in his stomach turned into cold sweat on his forehead.

This is too ruthless, first throw a piece of meat to you, and then see that you are fighting, and then collect money to help you fight, after the fight and occupy your house, then disband your army.

This chain of rings is so ruthless to the extreme.

It's a pity that Du Ruhui underestimated the viciousness of the various methods of the later generations, and Zhang Nuo's narration is still going on.

"If you sell more wool, you will have more money, and there will be no more wars. So the tribes on the grasslands naturally need to enjoy life, but what's the point of drinking and eating meat? Do you have to pursue other pursuits?"

"Is the poems, books, rites, and music of my Tang Dynasty high-end enough? Are they worthy of their envy? At that time, the imperial court will arrange a group of Confucian scholars to teach them how to read and how to live."

"Let them also experience the affluent life of the people in the Tang Dynasty, and let them know that they can also have this kind of life. Over time, they will become Tang people."

"Of course, it's not easy to be a citizen of the Tang Dynasty! At least you know the language, characters, and etiquette, right?"

"What happens when a nation has no writing, no culture, no history, and no beliefs?"

Du Ruhui was too nervous to speak at this time, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

Zhang Nuo obviously found out, but looked at him strangely and smiled, and continued word by word,

"In a few years, they will be no different from the Han people in the Tang Dynasty, except that there is still a meaningless Turkic label on their names!"

After Zhang Nuo finished speaking, he drank the wine slowly, while Du Ru sat there dumbfounded.

The only sound in the hall was Du Ruhui's heavy breathing, he was already frightened by Zhang Nuo's terrifying plan.

A nation can disappear in such a way, there is not much fighting in the middle, everything is going on quietly.

Even from a Turkic point of view, the Tang people were simply too stupid to buy the wool they didn't want, in exchange for fine wine and fine clothes, and offered to help them read and write.

However, the precarious herdsmen on the grasslands can learn Tang Mandarin, wear new Tang clothes, and their newborn babies will be able to read and read in the future. How could they refuse such a life?

Isn't it just to live such a rich life?

Now that they don't need to fight and fight, Datang will take the initiative to bring this kind of life to you, do you want it?

Du Ruhui felt cold all over his body, this was simply an extremely vicious plot, but it was also an open conspiracy.

Du Ruhui glanced at Zhang Nuo with complicated eyes, shook his head, cupped his hands and stumbled away, he had to go back quickly and report everything to His Majesty.

He had to tell His Majesty that sheep can really eat people.

Chapter 54 Zhang Nuo's Reward

Du Ruhui left, left in a daze, Zhang Nuo was stunned!

What the hell!

Old Du, what do you mean by this?

Where is the money?I don't need money for food now?

This is a great cause for everyone. Although you don’t need your little money to support your family or something, you can’t do this. At least you have to be polite on your mouth.

Zhang Nuo decided not to be too polite to Lao Du in the future. If he is too polite, he will lose money, and he is too careless.

Just when Zhang Nuo was complaining about Du Ruhui's lack of authenticity and lack of attention to detail, Du Ruhui had already rushed all the way to the palace.

Li Shimin, who received the report from the servant, was also at a loss. Keming, is there something urgent?

But after Du Ruhui came in to salute, he asked Li Shimin for a lot of paper and began to write quickly without saying a word.

Li Shimin is also a big-hearted person, seeing Du Ruhui's heavy and nervous expression, he doesn't blame him.

He just saw a piece of rolled up paper that Du Ruhui casually put aside, picked it up and flipped through it.

Then he looked at Du Ruhui with a displeased face.

Well, you Du Heizi, I just got an article about travel difficulties from shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, and you turned around and asked for an article about traveling to the army.

You don't have any other skills, but this deceitful method came quickly.

Coincidentally, when Li Shimin was complaining and praising, Changsun Wuji also walked in.

He originally wanted to discuss with the emperor how to announce the same business tax collection in the court. After all, the impact of this matter is not a little bit, and this is to be announced to the world.

But as soon as he came in, he saw His Majesty holding a piece of paper and reading it with great interest, while Du Ruhui was lying on the table writing hard.

It wasn't in the hall at the moment, so Changsun Wuji was a little presumptuous, and walked over directly, and found that it was written by shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, and his blood boiled after reading it.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin with a bit of resentment and said,

"Your Majesty, you went to shopkeeper Zhang to ask for words again? Why didn't you call Shang Weichen? Weichen also wants to ask for a word!"

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Changsun Wuji sideways, and said angrily,

"You didn't see how busy I have been these days. This is Du Heizi who went to shopkeeper Xiaozhang to cheat him. This old bastard is also cunning. He tricked shopkeeper Xiaozhang into all his masterpieces."

Changsun Wuji was speechless after hearing this, what's the matter, you are the emperor, so you can go to the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang to ask for words, and we were cheated by going there?

However, listening to Li Shimin's complaints, and seeing this majestic military poem in front of him, Changsun Wuji secretly began to wonder whether he would have to go to the shopkeeper's house someday, and his own study also lacked such a poem. The famous story of the first family heirloom.

Just as the two monarchs and ministers were immersed in admiring Zhang Nuo's masterpiece, Du Ruhui finally finished his work.

Then he didn't speak, and silently put a thick stack of manuscripts in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin glanced at Du Ruhui in surprise, and asked,

"Keming, what does this mean?"

Du Ruhui sighed deeply and said,

"Weichen originally went to shopkeeper Xiaozhang's house today. He wanted to take a nap for half a day, eat the delicious food made by shopkeeper Xiaozhang, and then beg for a word and come back and be satisfied."

"However, Wei Chen and shopkeeper Xiao Zhang accidentally talked about the struggle between our dynasty and the Turks. As a result, shopkeeper Xiao Zhang spit out thousands of words, but the words were penetrating and penetrating, which really taught Wei Chen a lesson."

"The minister was afraid that he would forget, so he simply came to the palace as soon as possible to forward the transcript to the emperor for your majesty's reference."

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji became interested when they heard that the mysterious shopkeeper Zhang was talking about Turks, and immediately opened a stack of manuscripts written by Du Ruhui and read them carefully.

Du Ruhui wrote very seriously, without deleting or rewriting the whole article, it was recorded in the vernacular spoken by Zhang Nuo.

But it was this kind of record that made Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wuji, who had come to Li Shimin's side to watch together, blushed and breathed heavily as if they had seen an ancient Huazhang.

Li Shimin read very slowly, almost word for word, and put it aside after reading it, but Changsun Wuji felt that it was a bit unsatisfying to read it with His Majesty just now. Read carefully.

After a long time, Li Shimin finally finished reading all the manuscripts and sighed deeply.

"Keming, how do you think I should reward Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang?"

Du Ruhui shook his head silently, then replied with a wry smile,

"Your Majesty, shopkeeper Xiao Zhang was born in the market but has a heart for the world, and he can point out the country while laughing and cursing. To be honest, I feel that even if I give the minister of the Ministry of War to Xiao Zhang, he can do it." Even more beautiful than Weichen."

"As for how to reward Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, in my opinion, the time between us and Shopkeeper Zhang is still short, and we have made two major contributions to the treasury increase and the border confrontation. Wouldn't the credit be greater in time?"

"Therefore, I suggest that you might as well record it in the credit book for the time being, and when the time comes, His Majesty will give you a one-time reward, a very noble title, and a very expensive reward."

Li Shimin nodded noncommittally. He had more considerations than Du Ruhui. Judging from the situation in the court, he had just ascended the throne not long ago, and it was inconvenient to purge the old officials.

In addition, from his personal point of view, he really likes the feeling of being unscrupulous in Xiaozhang's tavern, hooking shoulders and chatting freely. Except for Xiaozhang's tavern, no one seems to make him so relaxed.

Finally, a very important point is that this partnership business with shopkeeper Xiao Zhang has just started, so if shopkeeper Xiao Zhang is brought to the court by him, will the business still work?

Does his plan to increase treasury revenue and domestic funds have to be discounted?Where will he get the money then?

Besides, looking at the current situation of shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, it seems that there are still many profitable transactions, so how can he let him go, who can think that there is too much money, and he has to keep up with it.

Changsun Wuji also nodded when he heard Li Shimin and Du Ruhui's answer, and said very approvingly,

"Your Majesty, for the time being, let shopkeeper Xiao Zhang idle in the market for a while, I found that shopkeeper Xiao Zhang seems to enjoy this kind of game world."

"Anyway, Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang is now close friends with His Majesty and ministers. If there is anything difficult to find a reason to have a meal, you can not only do things but also enjoy the desire of talking. If you want to come to Shopkeeper Zhang, you can earn more money. Kill three birds with one stone!"

At the end, the three monarchs and ministers looked at each other and were all happy. Finally, they couldn't hold back anymore, and burst out laughing.

Chapter 55

Chang'an in the early morning is like a vivid ancient painting, quiet and elegant, and the cold mist of late autumn is slowly lingering outside the vermilion square city gate.

As the officials of each city opened their doors, the whole city gradually came alive.

Zhang Nuo got up from the bed early in the morning, and when he came back from the toilet, he broke out completely. He didn't even put on his clothes, and started working in the study in the backyard with his robe on.

It turned out that Zhang Nuo didn't like to use pens the most, but now he picked up the charcoal pen and started to write and draw on the white paper, and began to manipulate, gnashing his teeth while doing it.

"I can't take it anymore, this shit can't take it anymore, no matter how you say it, my buddy is a wealthy businessman with some family background, I can't live through this day!"

Hongyu got up early in the morning and didn't see Zhang Nuo. After looking around, she found that her husband was busy in the study. When she was about to leave and not disturb her husband's business, she heard Zhang Nuo's gritted teeth.

This caused her to turn around and leave instantly, and then quietly walked to Zhang Nuo's side.

Zhang Nuo was so engrossed in painting right now that he didn't even notice that there was another person beside him. It wasn't until after finishing the first painting that he planned to rest for a while that he realized that Hongyu was standing quietly beside him.

"Hongyu, when did you come in, why is there no movement at all, almost scared me."

Looking at her husband's stupefied look, Hongyu also snickered secretly, her husband who is used to intelligence usually has such a silly look.

"I didn't see my husband when I got up in the morning. I saw my husband was busy in the study, so I didn't want to disturb him, but I heard my husband complained, so I went to see if I didn't take good care of my husband."

After finishing speaking, Hongyu looked at Zhang Nuo cautiously. No wonder she was nervous. She didn't know what Zhang Nuo drew on the paper. Not to mention all kinds of weird lines and signs, there were many ghostly characters on it. She didn't know what it meant.

You must know that as the current hostess of the Zhang family, her biggest role is not to manage the entire family, but to take care of Zhang Nuo's daily life first, but what Zhang Nuo just heard is obviously for the current family. Life is not satisfied.

Zhang Nuo also noticed Hongyu's face, but he still complained,

"It's really hard to get through these days. I can't see any green vegetables, and the quilt is still stiff. I slept for half the night and it was still cold. I woke up in the morning and didn't even have paper."

"I can't wash my hair well even if I wash it, it's oily when I touch it, not to mention taking a bath, and the book that Lao Fang got back yesterday, is that thing for people to read? Let alone the blurred print, it's okay to flip through it a little bit." It makes your hands black and black, this is simply not a human life!"

Looking at Zhang Nuo who was filled with righteous indignation and frantically complaining, Hongyu was stunned.

She didn't know how to comfort Zhang Nuo, so she wanted to tell him that His Majesty and Empress were actually covered with fur in the palace?Or, tell your husband directly that there will be no green vegetables in the palace right now?

As for the charcoal basin, that thing is charcoal poisonous, so you can't use it casually. As for the paper for shit, in fact, bamboo chips are used in the palace. Husband has paper now, which is actually very good.

Also, even the books in His Majesty's royal study in the palace are black and white, what else can I do?

Hongyu felt that she didn't know what to say at the moment, but it was not good to neglect her husband, so she asked cautiously,

"What are you going to do, my lord?"

Zhang Nuo laughed, slapped the table fiercely, and said triumphantly,

"Who am your husband, I have great abilities. Since I'm not feeling well now, I'll just find a way to make myself feel comfortable now!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Hongyu to answer, she walked to the door of the study in three steps at a time and began to shout,

"Gouzi, Lao Fang, come here quickly, there is work to do!"

Gouzi seemed to flash after disappearing, Zhang Nuo had just yelled and jumped up to him without making a sound.

Zhang Nuo was taken aback by Gouzi's ability to appear and disappear, and slapped him hard on the shoulder.

"Fuck, I was scared to death. Where were you just now? Why did you pop out in the blink of an eye?"

The dog's face is full of grievances, he has to be scolded for his quick legs and feet,

"My lord, since you entered the study to work, the little one has been waiting at the door just now."

Zhang Nuo was taken aback after hearing this, he really didn't notice this kid, why does he feel that this kid has become more and more elusive these two days.

But now is not the time to worry about these things, he has to use the shortest time to improve his living conditions, he really can't bear it.

"Go and call Lao Fang over, I have to tell you to do something, hurry up."

Seeing that Zhang Nuo was speaking in a hurry, Gou Zi responded, then turned around and ran all the way to find someone, and dragged Lao Fang over after a while.

Seeing Lao Fang approaching, Zhang Nuo threw a lot of things over with his hands.

"I don't care what you two arrange, within today, I will see a few blacksmiths and carpenters, and then buy me a cart of charcoal and yellow mud. Hurry up and get them for me. It doesn't matter if you spend money, you have to act fast!"
