Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Chapter 371: Help people gain some hatred

Not long after, Wang Dehai hurried over again.

When he saw Chu Mo, he gasped and said, "Master Chu, Your Majesty invites you to see him."

Chu Mo raised his eyebrows and glanced at the stone core.

Wang Dehai immediately understood: "Let's do it together, His Majesty said you can do whatever you want."

Chu Mo nodded with satisfaction and said "go" to Shi Xin.

Shi Xin immediately followed Chu Mo toward the palace.

On the way, she shrank her neck, looking at the majestic palace wall, and sighed over and over again that the emperor was really rich.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at Li Shimin's imperial study.

Chu Mo didn't let Shi Xin go in. He just asked Wang Dehai to prepare some food for her, and he walked in directly.

Seeing Chu Mo come in, Li Shimin's eyes flickered and he said angrily: "Why, my palace has become your home? You can come when you want, leave when you want, and you can just bring someone in? Do you still feel that you are here? Isn’t it safe enough?”

Chu Mo glanced at Li Shimin with disdain and said, "Old Li, you are getting old. Do you have amnesia? I was attacked in the Royal Garden for only a short time, and you have forgotten it?"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin's face darkened instantly.

Just after Chu Mo left the palace, he immediately asked the Qianniu Guards to investigate the matter thoroughly.

However, not long after the order was given, news came from Qianniuwei that all those involved had committed suicide by taking poison.

When this news came, Li Shimin was frightened.

You know, it wasn't just one or two people who died, but nearly 20 people died.

This is the imperial palace, and the supreme being of the entire Tang Dynasty can be infiltrated so easily, and can even poison the palace residents at will.

Li Shimin felt a little frightened when he thought of a poisonous snake that he couldn't even see lurking around him.

"Chu Mo, you came here this time not just to mock me, right? Tell me your reason for coming."

Chu Mo thought about it for a moment before speaking: "Old Li, I thought about it carefully just now. The other party wants to kill you and me at this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin frowned, and then as if he had figured it out, he smashed the paperweight on the table with a snap.

Chu Mo looked at the smashed paperweight and floor with distress, and said twice: "Old Li, I'm not telling you, this is not how we made our money. In this way, if you want to smash things again in the future, first Think of me and send this to me."

Li Shimin ignored Chu Mo's taunting, but stared at him, exuding a fierce aura and said: "Do you have a suspect in your mind?"

Chu Mo shook his head: "No, I don't know anything. I came here mainly to remind you, and then discuss with you the disaster relief and my relocation."

Li Shimin stared at Chu Mo's eyes for a long time, and finally said decisively: "Are you scared? Do you want to run away?"

Chu Mo shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Yes, I am indeed afraid. It is understandable that you will fight for it for the sake of the world."

"As for me, a common man with a flat head, I just want to make some money, so there is no need to risk my life."

"You know who is behind the scenes, right? Tell me and I will protect you from death."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Chu Mo really wanted to spit a thousand-year-old phlegm in his face, and he didn't even urinate to show his face. You can't even protect yourself, and you still want to protect me.

"Lao Li, you can handle this matter yourself. I'm just here to take care of my own business. If you are willing to continue talking to me, then let's continue. If you don't want to, then fine, I will pat my butt and leave immediately. Now Hide to Lingnan."

Seeing that Chu Mo had no intention of letting go, Li Shimin knew that he couldn't ask anything more from Chu Mo, so he nodded and said:

"Then tell me what you want to do."

"It's not what I want to do. I just come to you to exchange benefits. If you are willing, we will exchange. If you are not willing, then I will find a way."

Li Shimin nodded and motioned for Chu Mo to continue.

"After I went back just now, my people reported that they found a batch of supplies after tapping the warehouse, and I couldn't bear the people outside to starve and freeze, so I planned to sell them to the court at a low price."

"Isn't it said that there is an exchange of interests? Why is it said to be sold at a low price?"

Li Shimin was anxious. He didn't have much money left now. If he was exploited by Chu Mo like this, he might not even have a cent left in the end.

Chu Mo looked at Li Shimin like a fool and asked: "I guess you don't need to tell you what the price of food is now outside. I will only sell this batch of food to you at the price before the disaster. If you don't want it, ,forget about it."

When he heard that it was being sold at the pre-disaster price, Li Shimin was delighted and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, why don't you want it? But how much is your batch of grain?"

"Not too much, not too much, just enough to provide the people of Chang'an with enough food for half a year."

"It's true!"

Li Shimin stood up suddenly and looked at Chu Mo with burning eyes.

Chu Mo nodded, confirming that Li Shimin heard it correctly.

Li Shimin gasped and looked at Chu Mo in surprise: "Tell me your conditions."

"It's not that difficult. I want you to order all the state governments in Lingnan Province to fully cooperate with my move south. In addition..."

Chu Mo told Li Shimin what he had discussed with everyone in Shiweitian.

Li Shimin paced back and forth several times before finally making a final decision:

"Yes, I agree, but when will your food be available?"

"As long as you give me your will, I will immediately have the food transported to the gate of the palace."

"Okay, I'll give the order right now."

Seeing Li Shimin so happy for the first time, Chu Mo thought for a while and said, "Old Li, there is something I want to tell you first."

"Regarding this batch of grain, many of them are new varieties of grain. I estimate that almost no one has ever seen it. But don't worry, I will find a few people to teach you how to eat it after the grain arrives."

When he heard that it was new grain, Li Shimin became even more excited. He grabbed Chu Mo's hand and said:

"Are you serious? I don't care what kind of food it is, as long as it's not harmful to your body and can satisfy your hunger."

"Of course I'm serious. If it weren't for these grains, I probably wouldn't be remembered."

After saying that, Chu Mo seemed to feel that he had said something wrong. He hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at Li Shimin with a sneer.

Li Shimin would not think that Chu Mo really said the wrong thing. Based on his understanding of Chu Mo, he estimated that the other party was giving eye drops to the secret person at this time, or was reminding him in disguise.

Thinking of this, the murderous intent gradually appeared in Li Shimin's eyes.

If the other party sets up a trap to trap Chu Mo, he can treat it like a delicacy. If the other party plants a large number of spies in the palace, as long as his most private things are not touched, he can also treat it as if nothing happened.

However, the other party was probably going to assassinate Chu Mo for these new grains, which he couldn't tolerate.

You must know that food is the most important thing for the people. If you tamper with the people's food, it is the same as killing their parents.

Although we don’t know what the output of Chu Mo’s grains is, having one more grain crop means one more way of life for the people of the Tang Dynasty.
