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

When I got home, I said that I wanted to fight Goryeo. How can I fight?

Could it be that he has discovered his identity, or is there some other special way?

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji couldn't think of a suitable reason after thinking about it, so they simply went to Xiao Zhang's shopkeeper's house today to find out.

After Zhang Nuo came back, he sat silently on the head seat in front of the hall, silently looked outside the door and did not speak.

Hongyu also heard what Zhang Nuo said to Xingben before, and her heart was full of resentment, worry and regret.

If she hadn't dragged her husband out today, she wouldn't have met that damned Korean, and her husband wouldn't have killed anyone if she hadn't met that damned Korean, and now there would be no talk of beating Korean.

Hongyu doesn't know how her husband will fight Goryeo, but no matter how he fights, he will go to the battlefield, so why not worry?

But as Zhang Nuo was the head of the family, Hongyu didn't know how to persuade him to make a decision.

In a dilemma, she had no choice but to sit quietly and watch Zhang Nuo in a daze.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Nuo uttered wild words today that he wanted to fight Korea was completely cheated by the sudden system.

From before to now, in the eyes of others, he has been staring at a certain place in a daze, but in fact, he is looking at the light curtain in front of him.Of course, being in a daze is real, anyone who sees this task will have to be in a daze.

Task name: a foot in the door;

Execution location: Korea King City;

Goals: 1. Bring the corpses of the Han men buried outside the Great King’s City back to the Central Plains as much as possible;

2. Idle is idle anyway, and I will destroy the Great King City by accident;

Explanation: This system can be started with just one kick. As the host, how can you be so salty?

How dare Koryo Bangzi shout so loudly, as the pinnacle of the domestic system, you can't stand this system?Time to show them who daddy is!

PS? Uh, so what, this system relies on influence to live, and this order will definitely activate the system, so let's do it!

PS again? Well, System Daddy hasn't fully booted yet.So, son, you have to rely on yourself, don't worry, when Dad activates it, Dad will cover you!

PS again? Since the host is not doing well right now, the father of the system kindly reminds you that you can't lead the army at the moment, but you can recruit caravan guards, go and do a good job, maybe you can even be hired The king of soldiers.

Zhang Nuo really had mixed feelings at the moment. He never expected that after waiting day after day and watching for year after year, his own system would finally start up!

But the smell of Pipi shrimp in this mission prompt is so poisonous, right?

The most irritating thing is that he doesn't know how to lead troops, and he doesn't know how to kill the enemy. He doesn't even know where the King's City of Koryo is. How can he do it?

But the system task has been clearly stated, this is the last task before starting, the system can be fully started after completing this task, and it is estimated that it will be gone if it is not completed.

It's no wonder that he has been sitting there in a daze, because everyone has a headache.

After all, even in later generations, if your company gathers thousands of veterans, they all have to go to the state for filing, and it may not be possible to get them down.

In this day and age, if thousands of veterans gathered together, with money and food, it would be enough to start a rebellion.

So, where is it as simple as the system says, and even recruit nursing homes, who recruits thousands of nursing homes per yard.

Moreover, the most important thing is that not only do you need to recruit people, but you also need equipment and armor. These cannot be solved by money alone.

Not to mention, in addition to thousands of soldiers, you have to get thousands of auxiliary soldiers, otherwise there will be no one to transport food by then.

After a mess of calculations, not to mention how much it costs, just recruiting people will cost you [-] yuan, which is a bit of a headache!

However, didn't Lao Li say that he has a good relationship with the Ministry of Households? Let's see how his relationship with the Ministry of War is. We can solve the problem of re-employment of veterans, and we will put some money in for a case.

Zhang Nuo turned his head and thought about it, maybe he can be a character with both civil and military skills who can govern the army and the people, so do it well!

Chapter 80 Who Are You, Old Li?

Maybe Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin really have a kind of heart and soul, and now Zhang Nuo thought of Li Shimin, and he rushed in with Changsun Wuji and Xingben.

Zhang Nuo hurried forward to say hello.

"Haha, Lao Li, you're here. I have a big deal here, and I'm just waiting for you to participate in it!"

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard that, what did he mean, didn't he mean to hit Korea, why did it become a business again?Did Xingben make a mistake?

But before he turned his head to look at Xingben, Xingben couldn't wait any longer, stared at Zhang Nuo in a daze and said,

"Master, didn't you say that you want to fight Korea, and you want to discuss it with shopkeeper Li!"

Zhang Nuo wasn't embarrassed at all, his mind was running wildly, but he said fluently,

"That's right, fighting in Korea is a big business. We don't want to rebel, and we don't want to be emperor, so we just go to make a fortune. How about it, is Lao Li interested?"

Li Shimin blinked his eyes, and after confirming that he had heard correctly, he said with an incredulous face,

"Let me not talk about where your soldiers come from. How can you make money in wars? If you can make money in wars, why not immediately send troops to destroy the Turks?"

Looking at the excited Lao Li in front of him, Zhang Nuo slowly straightened out the tricks in his mind and said,

"Old Li, think about it, if I go to Korea to burn, kill and loot, among other things, the slaves will definitely catch a bunch of them, and there will be a lot of gold and silver."

"The slave trade and the gold and silver obtained from the robbery should barely cover the cost, but if you want to make money, think about it, I have destroyed the Great King City, so why don't His Majesty reward me with some money?"

"I don't intend to be king of the mountain, let alone rebel. These cities must be handed over to the imperial court. Why don't His Majesty reward me a lot?"

Li Shimin was taken aback by Zhang Nuo's words, always feeling that something was wrong, but he turned his head and thought, it seems that if the country does not send troops to the court, this little shopkeeper can grab a few cities, so some money should be rewarded of.

But I turned around and thought, no, where did the soldiers come from, and they still wanted to burn, kill, and loot. Isn’t this just a village of thieves? The military regulations of the Tang Dynasty strictly forbid burning, killing, and looting.

As soon as Li Shimin's question was raised, Zhang Nuo was overjoyed. He patted Lao Li on the shoulder, and Zhang Nuo said triumphantly,

"First of all, the question of the generals, Lao Li, you are not someone from the household department. Those veterans who are used to the battlefield and don't feel comfortable living, you can introduce me to thousands of them, and I will pay for them."

"They are guarding the house in Datang, and they can even serve as guards for our caravan. I will pay the wages!"

"But I will train them, drill them, and when they come out of the Tang Dynasty, they will be thieves under the leadership of my Heifengzhai master."

"When the civilians go abroad, they will not be under the control of the Tang Dynasty. Thieves, there will naturally be burning, killing, looting and so on!"

Changsun Wuji was almost choked to death by his own saliva when he heard this, what do you mean?

Ask His Majesty to help recruit thousands of veterans?

Moreover, it seems that Zhang Nuo means to throw out all these soldiers as thieves?

"Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, do you know how much it will cost to feed thousands of soldiers? If it is an expedition to Korea, logistics and food must be added. Can you earn it back just by going out?"

Hearing this, Zhang Nuo calmed down a lot, and nodded seriously,

"That's right, actually, not only did I not expect to make money when I went out this time, I was even prepared to lose money from the very beginning."

"However, as long as I can prove that this is feasible and I can recover a little cost, then I can rob other places in the future. Anyway, I will be an obedient citizen when I return to the Tang Dynasty, and I will be the leader of the thieves when I go abroad!"

Having said that, Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li seriously and said,

"Old Li, because the people need you to help me raise money, so you are counted as a part of it. The first trip may not make money, but I have already thought about the second trip, and it must be rich!"

"Old Li, if it weren't for the close relationship between our brothers, I would have designated myself as the one who secretly did it. I will tell you clearly that I have only two targets in this trip to Korea."

"One is to let the soul of my Han man return to his hometown, and the other is to train soldiers. After training, I will go to the second place to snatch it. That is the real place of wealth. It is trivial to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. !"

Li Shimin looked at Zhang Nuo dumbfounded, and didn't know what to say. How could such a serious matter like war turn into a business again with Xiao Zhang's shopkeeper.

It seems that the shopkeeper Zhang has the ability to turn anything into a profitable business in the end.

However, after hearing what Zhang Nuo said, Li Shimin gradually changed his mind.

For [-] soldiers, food and lodging plus armor, etc., the one-time investment should not be less than [-] guan, and then an average of [-] Wen per person per month, that is [-] guan.

As for the fight against Goryeo, although I don't know how the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang is sure to take down the Great King City and take back Jingguan, but it is estimated that it will take half a year of tossing, and it is estimated to add up to [-] guan.

But if it was really defeated, then he would definitely be willing to spend [-] yuan to buy those cities. After all, there is no need for the court to use troops, and he only needs to pay for it, which is so convenient.

Although since the Qin Dynasty, fighting is to fight for national power, and there is no way to fight without spending money, but seeing this magical young man in front of him, for some reason, he is a little speechless in his rebuttal.

After much deliberation, Li Shimin slammed the table,

"Okay, I've done this business. I'll find a way to get you [-] warriors. You've been recruited as a guard. I'll also help you clear it from the Ministry of War!"

Zhang Nuo was taken aback when he heard this, no, when did I say we need 3000 people!

His original idea was to get at most a thousand people, less than 2000 people, so the scale is not large, and then practice in the way of training special forces in the future, and then get some good equipment, and go away after getting a vote .

And even if you get 2000 people now, you will have to keep weeding them out. To put it bluntly, this is a small-scale long-distance special operation deep behind enemy lines.

But what Lao Li said was 3000 people, or soldiers?

Zhang Nuo curled his lips, squinted at Lao Li and said angrily,

"Old Li, there are no outsiders here. It's serious business. You can die if you don't brag? There are twelve guards in Chang'an, and each guard is only over 3000. Where are you going to get me [-] people?"

Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat, what the hell, he didn't pay attention for a while, and almost slipped his mouth.

Indeed, there are only so many real soldiers in total. If you search all over Chang'an, it's okay to get one or two thousand, but if you ask for three thousand, everyone will doubt it.

However, before he could explain, Zhang Nuo continued,

"Old Li, we've known each other for so long, and I still don't know your real name. Today, can you tell me who you are? This is a bit too capable!"

Chapter 81 Old Li's Identity

Hearing the shopkeeper's question, not only Li Shimin, but even Zhang Sun Wuji's heart skipped a beat. He never expected it. He just answered a simple question and was suspected by the shopkeeper Zhang.

In other words, in fact, the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang should have suspected it for a long time, and only asked directly today.

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji's hearts were jumping in their throats at this moment, but they didn't think about what identity they would use to cover up the past. After all, it was really difficult to tell a lie all at once.

It’s not enough if you have a low status, and Xiao Zhang, the shopkeeper, is not a fool. If you say that you are a small official or an ordinary businessman, then you can explain how to do these things, and one day you will show your true colors to others. How embarrassing is that?

But it's not good if you have a high status. If you really say that your family is a relative of the emperor or a wealthy family, can you still make friends in the future?If this is the case, it is better to tell the real identity directly.

Just when the entanglement between the monarch and his subjects reached the extreme, Zhang Nuo said excitedly,

"Old Li, tell me the truth, are you a relative of the emperor in Jinyang? Don't hide it, I can see it!"

Li Shimin was really dumbfounded looking at the excited Xiao Zhang in front of him, and then turned into ecstasy in an instant.That's right, this identity is good, that's all!

I have to say that Li Shimin is also a good actor. He was obviously happy in his heart, but he asked with a dumbfounding expression on his face,

"Shopkeeper Zhang, how did you find out?"

Zhang Nuo leaned back triumphantly, and said with a smile,

"Old Li, you have two flaws. First, ordinary people can't sell our wine to the palace so happily. After all, if we earn more money, some people will earn less money. "

"Taking people's money is like killing their parents. We two brothers can survive in Chang'an together. No one cares about us. I guess it's because of your strength."

Li Shimin's heart was about to burst into laughter, but he nodded slowly with a reluctance on his face.

That's right, he is from the Li family in Jinyang, and the emperor's relatives are also right, his father is the emperor, and his wife is the queen.

In the end, he really tried his best to sell the wine from the wine shop to the palace. He didn't ask, it's no wonder that those buyers would buy the wine.

Zhang Nuo is not a roundworm in Li Shimin's stomach, so he naturally doesn't know about Li Shimin's twists and turns. At this moment, he feels that he has finally figured out the identity of Lao Li, so he continued confidently,

"The second is that you care too much about national affairs. After all, you and I are merchants, and it's just a matter of chatting for two or three sentences in ordinary times. How can it be like this every time?"

"Only the relatives of His Majesty in Jinyang can care about government affairs without being an official, because only Li Tang's country will last forever, and you can enjoy wealth forever."

"Old Li, am I right?"

Changsun Wuji had already turned around, he was afraid that if he couldn't hold back his laughter, he would reveal the identity that His Majesty had managed to hide.

Simply put, Xiao Zhang's shopkeeper's analysis made sense, but he didn't expect that the old Li from Jinyang's Li family in front of him was actually the one on the throne.

However, ordinary people really don't think that the emperor should stay in the palace, reviewing memorials on weekdays, and how could the 72 concubines of the Sixth Court of Sangong come to the tavern outside at night.

However, Changsun Wuji laughed and sounded the alarm to himself. Shopkeeper Zhang was quick-witted, and he found a loophole with just a simple answer. If he was not careful in the future, there might be more loopholes.

Li Shimin didn't know whether it was because he was infatuated with ghosts or because he was extra skinny today. Zhang Nuo had already arranged his identity for him, so he still had to be skinny.

"Brother, what you said is correct. I am indeed from the Li family in Jinyang. But, why don't you guess that I am a private visit from today's Shengshang Weifu?"

Zhang Nuo sneered, then patted Lao Li on the shoulder, and said like looking at a silly child,

"Old Li, although I saw you have the fate of emperor last time, you haven't taken that position after all, you don't understand!"

"Even if the sage goes out of the palace in Weifu, it's because he's busy with political affairs and goes out to relax. When he really comes to my place, he will eat, drink and drink at most. The chats must be romantic and family affairs."

"After all, it's tiring enough to talk about political affairs with those ministers on weekdays. It's rare to have a day or two to spare and still think about political affairs?"

"Besides, I'm a commoner, even if I have supernatural talents, Your Majesty doesn't know about it. How could I easily talk about state affairs with me? Only people like you are different."

"There must be a lot of contacts with dignitaries on weekdays, but they don't talk about state affairs with you, they only talk about love affairs! You just came to me to have a mouthful!"
