Chapter 237 Weapon Transformation (3)
Li Chengqian, who received modern education, was a monster in the eyes of the Tang people. Whether it was speaking or doing things, it was completely different from normal people.
This kind of arresting people and forcing them to negotiate terms seemed like a joke to Changsun Wuji and others, but he got it done, and the results achieved were pretty good, but...
"Crown Prince, can you tell me how these 200,000 books were printed within one year? And the weapons you listed seemed to be all active-duty weapons of the Tang Dynasty. Why do you dare to sell them? How brave are you?" Li Er looked at a memo in his hand and frowned and said to Li Chengqian.
"There are not many 200,000 volumes. Don't we have a book publishing office? At worst, the bidding will be fine. The family will be divided into tens of thousands of volumes. There is still one year left." Li Chengqian said while stuffing bear's paw meat into his mouth with a big mouth.
After working hard for a day, Li Chengqian, who was so tired that he returned to the "Lanruo Temple", he heard that Hou Junji got a bear and gave Lao Li a pair of bear paws.
So this guy didn't even think about it, and ran to Lizheng Hall with the documents that he had originally planned to show for the old man tomorrow, asking the old man to take a look in advance.
"Tendering? You think it's simple. How much money does the imperial court need to pay for so many books? Have you calculated it?" Li Chengqian explained the concept of tendering to Lao Li, so the old man understood the twists and turns inside very well.
"How could the court advance? We printed Buddhist scriptures. The monks had a lot of money. Do we still need us to pay for printing for them when we exported the scriptures?" Li Chengqian poked a piece of bear's paw meat fiercely and said indifferently.
"Make money from both ends? And are you planning to sell Buddhist scriptures to Japan?" Li Er felt that his mind was a little too small, and always felt that something was wrong here.
How could the monk spend money to print books and let the Tang Dynasty sell these books? Not only did he not get any benefits, he also lost a lot.
"Father, those monks who don't care about money, spend hundreds of thousands of guan to send 200,000 books of scriptures to Japan are still worth it in the eyes of the sons. You can understand this as a missionary." Li Chengqian explained to the old man why he thought the monk would pay.
"Are you sure? And you sold 200,000 Buddhist scriptures to Japan for 2 million yuan. Is it really good? What if they don't do, can we still force ourselves to grab them?" No matter how old Li thought that Li Chengqian was a bit unreliable.
"Father, you are looking down, there is still something behind." Li Chengqian took advantage of the old man's time to ponder the matter and instructed the palace maid to take the remaining half of the bear paw in front of him.
"What else is it? It's just that Japan sent another mission." Old Li flipped backwards.
"Yes, the key point is that group of missions. Two million coins are for us to seize the group's money, not the money for buying books. So even if the 200,000 white paper I gave them, those calves have to pinch their noses and recognize them." Li Chengqian said with a pout, but the expression on his face looked a little weird.
"Eat slowly, no one robs you, you really think I can't see it." Seeing Li Chengqian rolling his eyes when he was choked by the bear's paw, Li Er signaled the palace maid to get him water, while scolding him with regret.
Li Er was helpless most of the time. Although he always said that Empress Changsun spoiled his son, judging from the current situation, his own love for his eldest son is not much less than Empress Changsun, but his performance is not obvious.
There was no embarrassment on Li Chengqian's face as if he was exposed. After taking a lot of effort to swallow the flesh stuck in his throat, he said to Lao Li: "The next time the delegation will be Su Wee Yi."
Li Er had already learned about Su-I, the status of Emily, in Japan. Hearing Li Chengqian's words, he blurted out with his years of official intuition: "If this is true, Japan will be filled with smoke from the ground. You have spent so much effort. What do you want to get from it?"
"Money, a lot of money. Japan produces silver mines and gold mines, which are all things that the Tang Dynasty needs." Li Chengqian no longer concealed his purpose and said bluntly.
Although Li Chengqian didn't say what to do next, Li Er clearly felt that his purpose was not just Japanese minerals, and Li Er even vaguely doubted whether this bastard was still thinking about the land in Japan.
Are children so perverted now? At the age of ten, they started to plot against a country and were thinking about expanding their territory! What were they doing when they were ten years old? Are they parading on horseback or peeing on live mud?
Li Er was confused about having such a demonic son.
But he is sure that in time, when Li Chengqian truly grows up, it will inevitably make the Tang Dynasty burst into a brighter light, and "All the king's land under the world" may become a reality.
So for the future of the Tang Dynasty, I feel sorry for this poor guy in Japan. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it, so let it become the first stepping stone for his son to grow up.
A strange smile came out of the corner of Li Er's mouth, and he made up his mind to hand over the entire Japanese affairs to Li Chengqian. The extent to which he could do would determine the strength of his training for him in the future. If this kid really conquered the entire Japanese country, even if he gave way to him, what's wrong.
Of course. This is just Lao Li’s impulsive thought. After being bewitched by Li Chengqian, it may change after a night's sleep.
Li Chengqian did not have as many thoughts as Li Er at this time. The old man didn't speak, so he kept eating.
This is a bear's paw. I won't talk about whether it tastes delicious or not. It's a blessing to be able to eat it. Many people in their later generations have never seen it in their lifetime.
"You guys, can't you eat more civilized?" My ears hurt, and Queen Changsun's familiar voice rang behind her.
"It hurts, my mother, my ears are about to fall off." Li Chengqian's whole body bounced up with the grabbed ears, twisted his body into a strange position, begging his mother to let go quickly.
"Second brother, you are really so. Just watch him mess around, and don't say anything." Empress Changsun grabbed Li Chengqian's ear, took the silk handkerchief from the maid's hand, wiped off the oil stains on the corner of his mouth, and said to Li Er complainingly.
A big bear paw was already eaten by Li Chengqian. As a mother, Changsun was worried that his ten-year-old son would be exhausted.
What made Li Chengqian feel sad was that the old man had no intention of helping him. He just spread his hands like him and said innocently: "What can I do? You didn't see him and he took it to his arms to eat. What else can my father say!"
