Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

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 shopkeeper in front of him, and then turned into ecstasy in an instant, that's right, this identity is good, this is the identity!

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?"
