Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"Ke'er, now is the time when the Tang Dynasty is on the verge of life and death. I hope you will stop being petty. If you have anything to do, please get over it first. Wait until your father comes back. I think he will definitely give you a A satisfactory explanation.”

Queen Changsun sighed, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said in a seductive manner.

"Haha, am I being petty? What does the life and death of the Tang Dynasty matter to me? What does it matter to me if you can't pass this test?"

"I'm just a businessman now, businessman Li Ke. What we're talking about now is business. How can there be so many human relationships in the business world?"

"If you want this thing today, then pay the price according to my price. If you don't want it, then go out and turn left without delivery."

"you..."

Empress Changsun did not expect that Li Ke would speak so decisively, disrupting all her plans.

Taking a deep breath, she slowly said: "I agree to your current price, but now the Ministry of Revenue cannot afford so much money. I hope you can postpone it for some time."

"can."

Originally, Queen Changsun had already prepared to be rejected by the other party, but she didn't expect Li Ke to agree so simply and directly.

Chu Mo on the side also glanced at Li Ke in surprise, then lowered his head and continued to piece together the fragments in his hands.

"Since you agreed, Ke'er, when will the food and supplies be delivered to the Ministry of Revenue?"

Empress Changsun didn't hesitate and asked hurriedly.

"There's no rush. When you collect enough money, we'll pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Ke's mouth, and he looked at Queen Changsun mockingly.

"You...Ke'er, didn't you agree just now?"

Queen Changsun looked at Li Ke in disbelief.

Li Ke nodded and said with great conviction:

"Yes, I promised to keep this batch of things for you and not sell them to others for the time being. We will trade them after you have collected enough money."

"Why, are you trying to get away with nothing? You think you can take away the food without any money? What a beautiful idea."

After hearing Li Ke's answer, even Queen Changsun couldn't help but tremble with anger.

"You...you actually teased me like this. Do you really think I don't dare to do anything to you?"

Li Ke shrugged like Chu Mo, and then said like a rogue who didn't care:

"What does the empress want to do? Is there anyone in this world who can stop her? If you are willing, you can directly order me to beheaded now."

"However, the empress needs to think clearly. If you take action now, not only will you not get the food supplies, but the people outside the city will have no relief food, and my father will not be able to supply food and grass. I will only say that you are stupid. My son, could it be that because he lied about the military situation and missed supplies, the army in front was defeated and my cheap father directly killed him with his sword?"

After saying that, Li Ke seemed to have found some catharsis and burst out laughing in front of the two of them.

"you..."

Empress Changsun felt a sharp pain in her chest, and then her throat felt sweet, and the smell of blood came up.

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

If the mouthful of blood she drew in front of Zhuque's door was fake, then the mouthful of blood now was really caused by Li Ke's anger.

Seeing Queen Changsun vomiting blood, Chu Mo just raised his eyelids without any intention of asking.

When Li Ke saw the blood on the ground and the bright red at the corner of Queen Changsun's mouth, he laughed again.

"Li Ke, do you really want to watch your father die on the battlefield due to lack of supplies?"

"Do you really want to watch countless people of the Tang Dynasty starve to death and freeze to death?"

"Do you really have the heart to watch the world fall apart because of your personal grudges, and the people are displaced and plunged into war again?"

Queen Changsun stared at Li Ke, bit her lip, and asked word by word.

Just when Li Ke wanted to speak and continue to ridicule Queen Changsun, Chu Mo, who had never interrupted, spoke.

"I'm talking about the Queen, people say that as big as your butt is, you can sit on as big a bucket as you want, and as big as your appetite is, you can take as big a bowl as you like."

"I think you are just trying to make a fool of yourself. Since you said it yourself, the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot afford that much money, then why do you have to buy so much food and supplies? You can't buy less, or Buy in batches?”

Seeing Chu Mo speak, Queen Changsun seemed to have found a life-saving straw, staring at Chu Mo and saying:

"Mr. Chu, since you have spoken, can you make the decision to give this batch of materials to us and the court on credit? Wait until your Majesty returns to court..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Mo raised his hand to stop him and said, "I'm just trying to give you a trick so that you can get off the ground, but I'm not going to help you."

As he said that, he continued to play with the pieces regardless of Queen Changsun's pale face.

Empress Changsun has completely lost her face today.

After lowering her eyes and thinking for a while, she knew that she would never be able to make these two people change their words today, so she said:

"Since Mr. Chu has said it, I respect Mr. Chu's intention. I only have 1000 million taels on hand now. Ke'er, please prepare supplies for me at this price."

Li Ke chuckled, took out an exquisite abacus from his sleeve, fiddled with it a few times and said:

"If you only have 1000 million taels, then we will have to recalculate the unit price of the food and the price of warm clothing."

"you..."

Queen Changsun didn't expect that the other party would want to renegotiate the price. She was so angry that she almost ran away.

Li Ke ignored Empress Changsun's brows, which were about to twist together, and continued: "Everyone who does business knows that the more you buy, the cheaper the price will be."

"Since you don't want to buy so much now, the price will naturally need to be recalculated. In this way, I will learn from my prince brother and don't ask for more, as long as three times the market price outside is enough."

Seeing Li Ke's teasing gaze, Queen Changsun felt powerless for the first time.

He sighed and said: "No need, just follow the price and quantity agreed upon before, I want them all."

"Oh, so you are rich? If you didn't tell me that you were rich, we would still be here arguing for such a long time."

Li Ke didn't expect that Empress Changsun would agree to the price he proposed. It was really a surprise.

At this time, Queen Changsun, who was used to Li Ke's cynicism, did not answer Li Ke's words, but looked at Chu Mo and said:

"Mr. Chu, our matters have been settled, but I still want to confirm with you, are you really able to come up with so much supplies and food?"

This time Chu Mo no longer pretended to be deaf and mute, but swept the fragments on the table to the ground, then stood up, looked at Queen Changsun and said:

"When I, Chu Mo, do business, my reputation comes first. Don't worry, Madam, as long as the money is in place, everything will be fine."
