Half an hour later.

In the main building of the villa, on the dining table on the first floor.

Li Xuan and Cui Mi sat on one side, while Cui Xuanlan sat on the other side.

Although in Cui Xuanlan's opinion, this way of eating at the same table is somewhat inappropriate.

However, in Lijiazhuang, facing King Jin, he could only accept it happily.

When the food was ready, I picked up the kuaizi directly and placed it on the plate of pickled dried cucumbers and dried reeds on the side!

"Um?"

After one sip, Cui Xuanlan couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

This was the first time he tasted this taste.

"It's sour and numb, crispy and fragrant, and a little salty. The key is that it can maintain the taste of the vegetables itself. This taste is even more delicious than the dishes cooked by the chef!"

"If my father-in-law likes it, I will bring him a hundred pounds!"

Li Xuan smiled softly, picked up a bottle of white wine, opened it, and poured a glass for Cui Xuanlan.

Then, pour yourself another glass.

Seeing this, Cui Xuanlan's eyes lit up again and he quickly picked it up.

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, please!"

"Father-in-law please!"

After one drink, the atmosphere is no longer awkward.

Moreover, without Li Xuan asking, Cui Xuanlan took the initiative to tell him the reason for his visit.

I want to borrow 10,000 weapons from Li Shimin through Li Xuan!

"Why does my father-in-law want weapons?"

Li Xuan was confused.

"I will attack those barbarian countries!"

Cui Xuanlan said solemnly.

"I wonder what my father-in-law used to borrow weapons?"

Li Xuan asked slowly.

"Prince Jin agreed?"

Hearing this, Cui Xuanlan couldn't help but be startled. He didn't expect Li Xuan to agree so quickly.

"Why don't you agree?"

Li Xuan chuckled lightly, "But I hope my father-in-law doesn't have too high expectations. I just sent a message to my father-in-law. As for whether your Majesty agrees or not, it is up to your Majesty to decide!"

"As long as King Jin agrees!"

Cui Xuanlan looked surprised.

Then, he frowned and thought for a moment, and asked again: "May I ask King Jin, do you know what I can use to borrow weapons from your majesty, and your majesty will agree?"

"Don't blame me, father-in-law, I don't know either!"

Li Xuan shook his head again.

"In this case, King Jin can tell His Majesty about this matter. Whatever His Majesty wants my Cui family to use to borrow weapons, my Cui family will use anything to borrow weapons!"

Cui Xuanlan said quickly.

"That's okay!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"Thank you, King Jin!"

Cui Xuanlan's face was full of joy.

After finishing the meal, Cui Xuanlan did not leave, but moved directly into Cui Hongmo's small house.

"Sanlang, if this matter is difficult, don't worry about offending Your Majesty by disturbing Aye's face!"

After Cui Xuanlan left, Cui Mi said with a worried look.

"Mi'er, there is no need to worry. I am just delivering a message to His Majesty and acting as a middleman. Besides, there are so many vassal states around the Tang Dynasty. It is just management for those barbarian hozens to manage it. But it is also management for me, the Tang Dynasty family, to manage it.

Management, for me, Datang, is beneficial and harmless!"

Li Xuan said with relief.

"That's good!"

Hearing this, Cui Mi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, send Cui Mi upstairs.

Li Xuan asked Li Chang to call Li Chengqian.

During this period, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi directly brought several old farmers from their respective villages to Lijiazhuang, and followed the farmers in Lijiazhuang to learn how to pickle dried cucumbers and other vegetables.

"Master, you are looking for me!"

After a while, Li Chengqian walked in.

"The Cui family of Qinghe would like to borrow some weapons from your majesty to attack those barbarian countries. Please talk to your majesty and see if your majesty is willing to lend the Cui family weapons, or what kind of things do you want the Cui family to borrow?"

Weapons?"

Li Xuan said straight to the point.

"Master, is the Cui family asking the imperial court to borrow weapons?"

After hearing this, Li Chengqian looked surprised, "How could they have such an idea?"

"The Jinyang Wang family said they were exterminated, so they were exterminated. Why are they not in a hurry?"

Li Xuan sneered, "Besides, if we conquer a barbarian country, they will directly become kings and become local emperors. What's wrong with that?"

"But they are a long-established family with a thousand-year history, and their scholarly legacy is passed down to their family!"

Li Chengqian still didn't understand.

"fart!"

Li Xuan was speechless for a while.

"Master?"

Li Chengqian was stunned.

"With the scholarly legacy, when the Sui Dynasty was overthrown, these aristocratic families could mobilize tens of thousands of troops to help the Li family?"

Li Xuan said with a mocking look: "With the fragrance of books passed down to the family, each of these aristocratic families has so many guardian generals? Moreover, with the fragrance of books passed down to the family, each of them is engaged in business affairs, and every one of them is doing business.

Half of the children of the aristocratic families are serving as officials in the court to seek various private interests for their aristocratic families?"

"You have to remember that every family puts interests first. If there is no profit, where will they get the money to study? Where will they get the ability to pass on for thousands of years? This time I went to Taiyuan, if we hadn't had so many soldiers and horses, if Taiyuan Zhechong hadn't

The Fudu Lieutenant is His Majesty’s confidant, and we will inevitably encounter the full resistance of the Wang family of Jinyang. At that time, we will have to face thousands of Wang family soldiers!"

After listening, Li Chengqian's face was full of surprise.

"Okay, you can gradually know these things in the future. Now, all you need to do is inform your Majesty of the Cui family's request!" Li Xuan said.

"Yes, Master, I will definitely tell Aye about this today!"

Li Chengqian quickly reported the news.

"Well, go and do your business!"

Li Xuan waved his hand with satisfaction.

Li Chengqian bowed his hands again and walked out.

Afterwards, Li Xuan chuckled with satisfaction, stood up, and walked towards the second floor.

night!

Inside the Liangyi Hall.

After Li Chengqian reported the day's events, he reported to Li Shimin the Cui family's desire to borrow weapons.

"The Cui family wants to borrow weapons from me?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but look startled.

Then, his face was filled with smiles.

"It seems that these aristocratic families have been stimulated by Xuanba!"

"You can tell Xuan Ba ​​tomorrow that I can borrow weapons, but the Cui family needs food to borrow weapons. The head of the Cui family needs to discuss the specific matter!"

Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.
