Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

At any rate, he is also the great prime minister of Goguryeo, the existence of one person under ten thousand, and Liu Bai greets him in the yard?

If he didn't know Liu Bai's status, he would have turned his head and left long ago.

Tang Jian didn't think much about it, he cupped his hands with a smile, and said, "Young Master Liu!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Li Chengqian again.

"See Your Royal Highness!"

Li Chengqian put the half-eaten apple back on the plate, waved his hands and said, "Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Tang Jian straightened his body and introduced to Cui Xiu: "Brother Cui, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and this is Liu Bai, Mr. Liu!"

Cui Xiu didn't expect that Liu Bai was so young, probably several years younger than her own son.

But status has nothing to do with age.

He still saluted honestly, "Cui Xiu, the Prime Minister of Goguryeo, sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Mr. Liu!"

Li Chengqian stood up in surprise and walked around Cui Xiu a few times.

"Brother Liu, it's amazing that this fellow can speak human language!"

Cui Xiu was instantly pissed off!

What does it mean to be able to speak human language? !

Chapter 238 Stop talking nonsense, Mr. Tang doesn't understand the principle of splitting half of the meeting?

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Liu Bai burst out laughing.

In normal times, Li Chengqian is considered stupid in front of his own people. Only in one situation, his teeth are sharp and his words are worse than anyone else.

That is, when he can bully people without any scruples.

If you bully officials in the DPRK and China, you will definitely be punished by Li Er.

Bullying people in the Liu family is no different from courting death. Thank God if others don't bully him.

Bully the common people?

His Majesty the Crown Prince, it was rumored that he was the one who lost it!

Liu Bai had only seen one person treated like this by Li Chengqian.

That is Li Chengqian's own brother, Li Ke

Cui Xiu's face was so gloomy that it almost dripped water.

At any rate, he is also the prime minister of a country, and in Goguryeo, he is also the person who has the power of life and death in the whole country.

Even if he wanted something from others, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

"How could His Royal Highness insult the ministers of the vassal state like this? Thinking of me, Goguryeo, I pay tribute every year, and pay homage to the court every year. My Wang Gao family even pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Shang Kingdom day and night."

He babbled a lot of words, mixed with languages ​​that others could not understand.

It probably means that his status is noble, and Li Chengqian is purely inferior to others.

In this case, there will always be people who like to smooth things over, that is, people who are used to love and muddle through.

Tang Jian was such a person. He walked between Cui Xiu, Liu Bai and the others, and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister is right. King Rongliu regards His Majesty as a heavenly being and respects him very much. After all, we are our own people. Why not?" Sit down and have a chat!"

As he spoke, he sat directly next to Liu Bai.

The flesh on Cui Xiu's face trembled, and she said in a blunt tone, "I won't sit down anymore."

There are four stools beside the stone table.

Liu Bai sat one, and although Cheng Chumo and Li Chengqian didn't sit down, they also took up space.

Tang Jian sat down again, where did Cui Xiu sit?

Liu Bai waved his hand suddenly and said, "Come on, bring a stool!"

Hearing this, Cui Xiu's face softened a little.

Looking at Liu Bai again, he became much more pleasing to the eye.

As expected of a person who can help His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and teach the prince, his ideological consciousness is higher than others!

But when the 'stool' came up, he wished he could slam his head on the stone table to death!

It turned out that Liu Bai was the worst person among this group of people!

The concierge even moved a horse over here!

Other people's stone benches are exquisitely carved and simple in shape, so they must be comfortable to sit on.

But this Maza is only a little bigger than a palm, at least three times shorter than a stone bench!

So bullying!

Cui Xiu almost gritted her own teeth.

His eyes were red and he was about to get angry.

"Cui Daxiang, it's time for us to talk about food!"

These words, like a whip, whipped Cui Xiu's anger back severely.

"Restraint, must be restrained, the people of Goguryeo are waiting for me"

Cui Xiu muttered, walked to Maza with difficulty, and sat down.

Liu Bai glanced at him with a half-smile.

For the Goguryeo people, he has no affection at all.

Don't talk about sending charcoal in the snow, if you don't take advantage of their bad luck and set a fire, you will feel that you are in a panic.

However, the matter of selling grain is another matter.

What he is worried about now is not the lack of food, but the inability to finish the food.

You must know that these grains are not given to the imperial court for free, but after the imperial court calculates the approximate output, they will be paid according to the price!

Even the prices of potatoes and corn are only [-]% of that of ordinary corn, which is [-] yuan per bucket.

But 900 million shi, that is more than 700 million guan!

Li Er couldn't even afford to sell the palace!

It cannot be piled up in the granary and left to mold.

Selling to Goguryeo is also a good way out.

"Cui Daxiang, Liu is a businessman. He talks about business and has nothing to do with the affairs of the court!"

Cui Xiu cupped her hands, "If Mr. Liu agrees, Cui will naturally be grateful!"

Liu Bai smiled, "Very good, then let's talk about business. I wonder how much grain Cui Daxiang plans to buy this time?"

"If Mr. Liu can sell 100 million stones, it will be the best!"

One million stones is a very delicate number.

To put it mildly, except for Datang, no country in the world has the strength to gather so much food.

It can be said that it is too much, but it is not too much.

Goguryeo was in famine throughout the country, with less than 100 million stones. His visit to Datang this time was almost a waste of time.

You can't feed some of the victims and let others watch helplessly, right?

In that case, they will be ghosts if they don't rebel!

The only thing that is a little uncertain is that I don't know if Datang can gather so much food in a short time.

He had heard that disasters had also occurred in some states and counties of Datang.

Even if there is new food, but there are only so many farmlands, how can the yield be so high?

He didn't know how outrageous the yield of potatoes and corn was!

"100 million stone?"

Liu Bai frowned.

Cui Xiu thought that Liu Bai felt that 100 million shi was too much, so he hurriedly said: "The minimum should not be less than 80 shi!"

Liu Bai frowned even deeper.

Only 100 million shi?

What does that mean?

His face sank, "See off the guests!"

Cui Xiu was in a hurry!

"Young Master Liu, everything is negotiable, and the price hasn't been discussed yet!"

Liu Bai looked at Cui Xiu contemptuously, and said, "It's only 100 million shi of grain, you are insulting Liu!"

Li Chengqian, who was on the side, said like a dog's leg: "You don't want to inquire about it? My big brother Liu's business, which one is not earth-shattering? You are ashamed to come to the door for a mere 100 million shi of grain!"

Cui Xiu was taken aback.

After reacting, he suddenly jumped up from the saddle!

Unexpectedly, Liu Bai didn't think that 100 million stones was too much, but too little!

The ecstasy on his face flashed across!

"Two million shi, buy it at the highest market price, what does Mr. Liu think?"

As he spoke, he was about to take out the credentials from his sleeve.

As long as he writes down the proof, Goguryeo will send the money over immediately!

Liu Bai directly waved his hand and said, "If it's less than 500 million shi, there's no need to discuss it today!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Cui Xiu's reaction, and said to Xu Chu: "Take Cui Daxiang out, let him think clearly before coming back!"

Xu Chu stepped forward, carried Cui Xiu and left!

Seeing that the door was locked with a bang, Tang Jian gave a thumbs up and said with a sinister smile, "Young Master Liu, you are really tall!"

Liu Bai rolled his eyes, "Master Tang has a good plan. I don't know how much favor Cui Xiu gave you, Mr. Tang?"

Tang Jian's complexion changed, and he said, "Young Master Liu, you must not spout blood!"

It is a private rule of the imperial court to accept favors from foreigners, and even if Li Er knew about it, he would not punish him.

But how can this kind of thing be put on the bright side?

His Royal Highness is still by his side!

Liu Bai ignored him, stretched out his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense, Mr. Tang doesn't understand the principle of splitting half of the meeting?"

Chapter 239 Be sure to find out why Datang has so much food

After Cui Xiu returned to the small courtyard of Honglu Temple, it was already dark.

He lay on the couch, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, thinking about Liu Bai's words all night long.

The reason for being so uncomfortable is not that I can't afford 500 million shi of grain.

It's because Liu Bai can even take out 500 million shi of grain casually!

I wanted 100 million shi for an emergency, but I was treated as a small business!

Besides, Liu Bai is just a businessman, and does not represent the entire Tang Dynasty!

So how terrifying should Datang's grain reserves be?

The more Cui Xiu thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

As the Prime Minister of Goguryeo, he is very clear about the Central Plains Empire's attitude towards Goguryeo!

Although Yang Guang in the former Sui Dynasty was tyrannical, he had to admit that his talents were no less than those of the great monarchs.
