Tang Dynasty Never Night

Li Xian finally understood what Li Xian meant. Doesn't the King of Borneo just like beauties?Then send him to a place full of beauties, maybe he won't want to leave.

It's just that in Li Xian's opinion, this is not a very good idea. When the leaders of other countries come, you take them to the red light district. Isn't it too inconspicuous?

Li Xian struggled for a while and put this proposal aside, although he himself was very interested in the red light district, ahem, listening to what Li Xian said, there are both beauties and men and women there, that's why Li Xian is interested .

The next day, Li Zhi really met King Borna, and King Borna and the second prince, Surya, attended in full dress. King Borna looked very reliable on this day, but when Li Xian went to pick him up to Daming Palace, the King Borna seemed to be very reliable. When we met, he said: "One day is like three autumns." He didn't do anything excessive.

So Li Xian decided to endure it!

After arriving at the Daming Palace, although King Boluo admired the magnificence of the Daming Palace, he didn't look around like a bumpkin, but Surya looked a little curious.

This is a state banquet, so the specifications are fundamentally different from yesterday’s. The process of the state banquet was handed over to King Borneo by Zheng Qi yesterday, and all the precautions were explained in person. All right, if only King Borneo wouldn't glance at him from time to time.

Speaking of it, the state banquet sounds high-end and elegant, but in fact, Li Xian didn't want to eat it a second time after eating it once. It was obviously the same recipe, but when it was in the hands of the palace cook, the taste changed abruptly. It's not the kind of taste he likes, not to mention that the state banquet requires saints to give various speeches, and to talk to King Borneo. These two big men don't move their chopsticks, how dare others do it?

When they had finished talking, Li Xian stuffed two mouthfuls to satisfy his hunger. At the same time, he told himself in his heart that whenever he met a state banquet in the future, he must eat his fill at home, oh, come back when he is sixty percent full!Otherwise... I really can't keep up.

You must know that after the state banquet is over, there is still a series of physical labor. The state banquet is set at night. After the meal, you can just invite the King of Borneo to enjoy the singing and dancing fireworks. Tomorrow he will take King Borneo to play all the way, and he will feel extremely painful!Nima, it's really inhumane not to be able to sleep until you wake up naturally and have no time to catch up on sleep.

No matter how Li Xian complained in his heart, on the surface that night, the guests and the host had a good time. Li Xian returned to the palace with exhaustion, and asked the people below to bring supper over after a while, and then... He ate too much and couldn't fall asleep. Since he couldn't sleep, he didn't waste time at all, and started to take out the account book to read the account.

To be honest, ever since he looked at the account book and his mind was not tied, he discovered one thing - since he donated food, the finances of the palace have been very tight. Although there is income from cement, they were busy with disaster relief before and then busy To receive foreign envoys, the country has no time to follow Yuedi, not to mention... this is a huge investment. Judging from the large-scale natural disasters that have occurred in the Tang Dynasty for two consecutive years, the treasury may not have so much money to buy this .

Li Xian looked at the ledger and sighed slightly. The prince is also short of money. The problem is that he still doesn't know how to make money. When he didn't wear it before, he read a lot of books and could make a fortune even in ancient times. Why is it so difficult for him?After thinking about it, it was probably because he had made a mistake when he applied for a major, and changing to another... even learning accounting is more useful than computers.

#The tears shed after crossing is the water that entered the brain when I volunteered#

As for the fact that he knows a lot of recipes to open a restaurant... don't think about it, after all, he has already presented those recipes to please Empress Wu, and when he presents the recipes here, he will turn around and open a restaurant, so that ordinary people... or It's the rich merchants who enjoy the same dishes as the sage lady... are you courting death?

Li Xian scribbled and wrote the plan for half a day in the room, but there were too few left, and the more he wrote, the more discouraged he became. Finally, he repeatedly reminded him that it was getting late and it was time to go to bed, so he sighed and went to bed silently. When he woke up the next morning, he didn’t feel particularly sleepy. When he went to the Dragon’s Head Palace, his mind was still full of how to make money, which caused Zheng Qi, who was traveling with him, to look at him more——today’s King Zhou looked a little quiet, could it be that he was tired these two days?

After arriving at Longshou Palace, Li Xian's tolerance for Zhan Dabo also increased a lot, mainly because he deserted when Zhan Dabo was talking, and he returned to his senses when Zheng Qi was translating, so it seemed that it was not difficult .

In fact, it is not difficult to get along with Zhan Dabo, who can become the king of a country, and other skills that cannot figure out people's hearts are neither top nor too low, and Li Xian is not difficult to see through. The one who Bo can't see through is probably the young minister of Honglu Temple.

This man doesn't look much older than Zhou Wang Li Xian, but his smooth and sophisticated words are very difficult to deal with, even Zhan Dabo finds it very difficult.

Fortunately... you don't need to use your brains when you go shopping. In fact, shopping is just looking at the East Market. There are luxury shops here, and the West Market sells daily necessities. There is no need to bring this kind of market life. Chanda Bo experience.

However, for some reason on the way, we talked about the difference in crops between Datang and Borneo. In fact, the difference in crops between the two countries is not particularly large, but Li Xian is more concerned about the variety of crops in Borneo and the yield. Very high!

Li Xian did some calculations in his mind, and found that the geographical location of Borneo is really very, very good. Basically, it is very common for grain to be harvested twice a year and three times a year. The population there is not large, and the grain reserves are relatively Datang is not enough 01:30 ah.Of course, Zhan Dabo will definitely not disclose too much information about grain reserves, but that does not prevent Li Xian from guessing. The total number of people in Borneo plus their cultivated land, even if the productivity is lower than that of Datang, can still Work out an approximate number.

Recently, the top officials of the Central Committee of the Tang Dynasty have been worrying about food from top to bottom—if it wasn't for the lack of food, it is estimated that the generals of the Tang Dynasty would have already wandered around the territory of Tubo.

In the later generations, the import and export of various grains and energy was a very common thing. Although Datang is open now, it seems that the import and export of grains has not formed a scale, and although the land silk road and the sea silk road have been The scale has been formed, but the route is too far and the process is too long, which is not suitable for stable trade exchange between countries.

Borneo can be used as a trading partner, and other small countries around the Tang Dynasty, well, there is nothing rebellious can also be used as a trading partner.

It's just that Li Xian knew that his thinking might not be comprehensive enough, so although he thought it was a good idea, he didn't disclose any information to Zhan Dabo. Good measure.

Zheng Qi knew Li Xian very well. Li Xian had always been indifferent and polite to Zhan Dabo before, but now he suddenly became more enthusiastic and asked more questions. He knew that Li Xian must be thinking of something.

After the formation of the day was over, Li Xian and Zheng Qi finally bid farewell and went home after filling their ears with Zhan Dabo's admiration for the Kingdom of Heaven. On the way back, Zheng Qi asked, "Any ideas?"

Li Xian was not surprised by Zheng Qi's keenness at all. It's no wonder that Zheng Qi didn't notice it when he was by his side all the time. Li Xian went to Zheng Qi's side and whispered his thoughts, and then asked, "What do you think?"

Zheng Qi was not surprised after hearing this, but immediately asked: "What do you think? Exchange? What will be exchanged for? How to measure this value? Food is a very important resource. Are you sure the Borneo Congress agrees?"

Li Xian tilted his head and looked at him: "So this matter still needs to be discussed. I'm just thinking about whether this matter can be done. If it can be done, I can tell my father and mother. If it can't... just pretend that I don't mentioned."

Yes, even if Zheng Qi didn't say anything, he would still ask Zheng Qi's opinion. Zheng Qi always considered things more thoughtfully than he did. If Zheng Qi thinks it is feasible, at least this matter can be said.

Zheng Qi glanced at Li Xian expressionlessly, and suddenly felt a little tired. His Royal Highness Zhou Wang didn't know anything else, but he did a very good job of shaking hands with the shopkeeper. In fact, if it was something else, Zheng Qi would definitely let Li Xian Think about it, but there are too many aspects involved in what he said.

"You can ask the lady of the sage for advice." Zheng Qi only said this and said nothing else.

Li Xian instantly understood, ok, there is room for feasibility in this matter, so when he entered the palace to report the work situation to his parents, he casually mentioned this idea.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu thought it would be beneficial almost immediately, and they asked about it with great interest, but Li Xian didn't know much, because he couldn't reveal this tendency, after all, he didn't know much about it. Who knows if it will be possible to report it, so not much is known. Li Xian means that if he has an idea in this regard, he can directly find someone to negotiate with the King of Borneo.

Li Zhi directly called the crown prince, King Pei, the three prime ministers, and the Minister of the Household Department over. Oh, of course Zheng Qi would also come over. After all, he was mainly responsible for receiving foreign guests.Li Zhi first asked Zheng Qi about Borneo, compared what Li Xian said, and felt that although the descriptions of the two people were different, their evaluations were similar, so Li Zhi decisively expressed Li Xian's thoughts.

Everyone’s opinion on this is basically the same, and it’s similar to Zheng Qi’s question—this method is feasible, but how to trade?What is the value measure of the transaction?Is the most important country of Borneo a good partner?

I don't know why, the small countries around Datang are more dishonest than one another, which is a headache. It is impossible for such a tense relationship to be mutually beneficial. They are worried that Borneo also has ambitions.

Li Xian thought for a while and said: "King Po Luo personally came to Datang to ask the princess to marry him, which has already represented his attitude towards Datang. At least there should be no problems when he is in power, let alone even if there are problems... So what? Weak country with few people."

Li Zhi said decisively: "Since the King of Zhou has already made up his mind, let's write a summary and submit it."

What?

Li Xian turned his head and stared at his father with wide eyes, almost unbelievable for a moment, this matter... Shouldn't it be the job of the household department?I'm still leading an errand at Honglu Temple, dear father, are you asking me to work part-time?

What he didn't expect was that even Empress Wu agreed with Li Zhi's idea—these two had already begun to cultivate their sons. In Li Zhi's opinion, Li Xian's son was very strange. You think he thought too much, this person is too simple and too It's easy to understand, you say he thinks less, but his thoughts can often surprise people.

Studying recipes, studying art of war, studying water conservancy, studying trading——Li Zhi suddenly felt that his head hurts again, how should he teach this son?

He had a headache, and Li Xian had a headache even more. Seeing that he was receiving foreign guests and also found a homework for himself, he found the shooter almost immediately, cough, a helper.

As a result, the helper refused to help today, so Zheng Qi smiled and said to Li Xian: "This is an errand entrusted to the king by the sage, and the subordinate officials will not step over to do it for you. Oh, don't worry about the King of Poluo, the subordinate officials will entertain you." Good for them."

Li Xian: ... Teacher qaq, teacher, you can't be so irresponsible, teacher!

But no matter how sad Li Xian's eyes were, Zheng Qi still left leisurely, leaving only Li Xian to return to the palace dejectedly, but after returning to the palace, he looked at the plan he had listed yesterday and felt even more sad and indignant - he originally I thought that after the two days, King Borneo would be able to carefully study his money-making plan when he turned around, but now... money-making and other things will be put aside again qaq.

Li Xian splashed ink on the rice paper with a solemn face. He wrote out everything he knew. After he finished writing a copy, he looked at it and felt that it was not perfect, so he added a little more, and after reading it again, he added a little more. Adding and subtracting like this, the more you write, the more you can’t hold your pen—he will even take advantage of the transactions with other countries to establish the status of Datang’s currency as soon as possible, that is to say, it’s best to change it into all future coins bit by bit. International trade units all use Tongbao, so that Datang’s economic status in the world can be established invisibly. Basically, there is no way to compare with Datang.

Li Xian wrote it all night by accident, because before he started writing, he told Cheng Bao and Li Nu that he had some abbreviations to write, so don't disturb him lightly, although Cheng Bao and Li Nu both reminded him, but because of that At that time, Li Xian's brain was spinning rapidly, and it was as if he hadn't heard it. The two men didn't dare to remind them more after reminding them twice.

When he heard the rooster crowing, Li Xian was dumbfounded as soon as he looked up—Nimma, it's dawn, he hasn't gone to bed yet!Li Xian put away all the written things in pain, turned his stiff neck, and sent someone to bring a message to Zheng Qi-today he will go to Longshouyuan later today, and first write the abridged Submit it to the top.

In fact, such a trade policy should be formulated before the other party arrives, and then negotiate directly after the other party arrives, but Li Xian didn't expect it before, and Borneo sent an envoy to Datang for the first time, and Datang did not know about it before. What does Borneo look like, so we can only race against time to come up with a charter as soon as possible, and then we can discuss it with King Borneo.

Li Xian didn't go to the court, but went to see his parents directly after the court, and then handed in the abbreviation to the top—the trick is that he wrote too much, and he couldn't fit a memorial, so he handed it in directly A stack of bound paper books ==!

Li Zhi was also a little surprised when he saw such a thick stack of papers. After flipping through it, he found that some parts were quite well written. He could not help but look carefully at Li Xian and asked, "Did you sleep last night?"

The corners of Li Xian's mouth twitched. He wanted to pretend to be knowledgeable, but his father could tell at a glance, so he could only nod his head bitterly.

Li Zhi was a little helpless: "Qilang is serious, you should pay more attention to your body."

Li Zhi is really a real father. Although he wanted his son to work hard, he never thought about delaying his rest time.

Li Xian scratched his head in embarrassment and didn't say anything else, just asked: "Is it okay, Dad?"

Li Zhi glanced at it briefly, then called the group of people from yesterday, and then passed on the abbreviation in his hand and said, "You all have a look."

Because Li Xian wrote too much, the prince read it for a long time, and he was thinking while reading it. Pei Wang Li Xian waited anxiously behind, so he simply stretched his neck to read with the prince, and it was his turn when the two of them finished reading. other ministers.

After everyone took their turn, the scene was silent for a while. Li Xian saw that they were all a little bit unwell, so if you could talk to them, I'll fix what's wrong.

The question is, can it be bad?What Li Xian came up with was my big rabbit's plan that has been tried and tested - it turns out that it is beneficial to watch more news broadcasts, at least not to be caught blind at this time.

Of course, Li Xian also made some revisions based on the actual situation of Tang Dynasty. The limited ideas he could think of were definitely not perfect, but the general outline had been grasped, and the rest was the details.

For the rest of the time, apart from occasionally answering some questions about proper nouns, Li Xian was always serving as the background board. After the meeting was finally over, the tone of the transaction had been set, and then he found that he had found a One thing - first test the waters with small transactions, and then Li Zhi asked him to negotiate with King Borneo.

Li Xian's whole body is a bit unwell, he wants to sleep qaq.

It's just that under the eager eyes of a group of old men, Li Xian couldn't tell him to go to bed first, so he had to go to King Poluo hard.

Facts have proved that even ordinary people have to bargain when doing business, not to mention the trade between countries. On the first day, Datang and Borneo only reached a preliminary intention, and the specific scope of the transaction has not yet been determined. !

In the next period of time, King Po Luo seemed to have forgotten that he was here to marry the princess, and he never mentioned it. He was arguing with Li Xian every day—in fact, he was arguing with Zheng Qi. All Li Xian could do was stick to it. Bottom line, and Zheng Qi stepped out, occasionally causing King Borna to suffer a bit.

And what Li Xian thought of at the beginning was grain trading, but he didn't expect that the more he discussed, the more items needed to be traded. In the end, Li Xian was negotiating various trade issues every day when he was sleeping.

And during this process, Li Xian felt...he needed to talk to his brother.In order to isolate Zhan Dabo and Li Xian, he came up with the idea of ​​going to the red light district. He thought Li Xian would listen to it, but...he found that recently his brother was spending more and more time with Zhan Dabo every day!And the reason is very honest!

The problem is... Zandabo's eyes are too eager!As a prince and prince, it is impossible for King Pei not to see Zhan Dabo, even if he is not in charge of receiving foreign guests, but once he meets him, he will see Zhan Dabo look at his brother eagerly, without exception!Recently he heard that Li Xian and Zhan Dabo often talked late into the night, Li Xian couldn't sit still, if Nima continued like this, even if Datang won the negotiation, he would have to pay his brother to go in!

Taking advantage of the day when Li Xian finally rested, Li Xian rushed to the Zhou Palace, and then began to persuade Li Xian to take Zhan Dabo to the red light district.

Li Xian's face turned green at that time: "Isn't this bad?" Brother, are you hurting me?

"What's wrong? Listening to the music and watching the dance, maybe it's better to talk about?" Li Xian looked at Li Xian strangely.

"Just listening to the music and watching the dance?" Li Xian squinted at Li Xian——are you lying to a ghost?Is it necessary to go to the red light district just to listen to music and watch dance?

Li Xian smiled slightly: "If King Borneo has an innocent beauty that he likes, this...isn't impossible."

Li Xian was a little displeased. He always felt that this method was a bit obscene. It was obviously a very serious matter, so why do you want to mix it up?

Li Xian said simply: "How do you know that the King of Borneo is not willing to go?"

Li Xian paused, Nima, he hasn't seen the attributes of Zhan Dabo until now, okay?But he seems to appreciate pretty boys more?Pingkang Square...there are all prostitutes there, right?Thinking about it this way, it might really be listening to music and watching dance.

In order to convince Li Xian that his mouth was dry, Li Xian almost told him directly, you should quickly find a beauty for Zhan Dabo, or you will put yourself in it later!

After listening for a long time, Li Xian finally asked: "He is here to marry the princess, even if it's not our own sister...it's hard to explain, right?"

Not only sisters but also cousins, okay?That's the clan girl!

Li Xian was somewhat disapproving: "You also know that Zhan Dabo is here to ask for a marriage, so it is impossible for him to let anyone threaten the princess' status as queen."

In order to fool Li Xian, Li Xian said some things about Pingkangfang. Li Xian listened to it and felt that... this shit is really a red-light district?Those girls are all beautiful and beautiful, and the most important thing is that they are both talented and talented, so they are reduced to prostitution?This is too hard, right?

Li Xian, who was deceived by Li Xian, decided to take a field trip first, and if possible, he would take Zhan Dabo to have a look.Without further ado, Li Xian took Li Xian to the past. It was a coincidence that Zhan Dabo and Surya had lived in Chang'an for a while. It was Li Xian and Zheng Qi who took them around. Although they saw a lot of strange things, they wanted to experience more, so the two of them walked to Dongshi with their clothes light and simple.

Dongshi and Pingkangfang are next to each other, Zhan Dabo and Suriya did not take the car, Li Xian and Li Xian saw them both from the car window, Li Xian stopped decisively to say hello.

When asking each other about the destination, Li Xian was a little embarrassed, but Li Xian... Li Xian calmly described Pingkangfang from a place of fireworks to the National Center for the Performing Arts ==!Fortunately, Zhan Dabo was accompanied by an interpreter, otherwise the two would really have to talk to each other—Zhan Dabo did know a little Tang dialect, but he didn't speak it well, and he could only understand a little.

Li Xian looked at the high-spirited Zhan Dabo and decisively shut up, allowing Li Xian to lead a group of people to the red light district.After arriving there, Li Xian found a fairly elegant place, with small bridges and flowing water, green pines and green bamboos, the layout is very elegant, I don't know if it looks really special, if you don't know it in modern times, you may think it is a famous mansion. .

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the scenery here is very good, it is difficult for Li Xian to regard this place as a place for fireworks, and the madam here, who is not too old and does not look so tacky, hires a beauty from Tingting, The soft-spoken conversation is extraordinary, it can be seen that she has read the book, after Li Xian said a few words to her, she withdrew, then served some wine and food, and then brought a few beauties, Li Xian saw those few After the beauty, he almost spit out the wine with a sip.

Damn it, it's really... both men and women, and... those boys look very young, about the same age as him, this is... too sinister, right?

Li Xian just wanted to say something, but he heard a little bustling outside, a slightly anxious female voice kept saying: "My lord, there is a nobleman here, please don't rush."

Huh?Your Excellency?Are you talking about them?Li Xian held his wine glass and was about to ask what happened, when he saw a familiar figure hurrying over.When Li Xian saw that handsome face, he almost threw the cup out of his hand - damn it, Zheng Qi!

Although Zheng Qi walked fast, his posture was still calm. He stood at the door and swept his eyes, and his face turned cold after confirming his judgment.

Li Xian, the culprit, shouted in surprise, "Zheng Shaoqing?"

Li Xian was holding a wine glass, and there was a room full of Yingying, Yanyan, and men and women, and there was a cold-faced god standing at the door, and he was instantly stunned.
