Chapter 528
Similarly, Fang Xuanling, Zai Changsun Wuji and others also had a solemn expression!
Seeing this, Upotong thought Li Shimin was dissatisfied, and looked bitter, and hurriedly said, "Dignified Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if you think it is expensive, you can also buy 70 kilograms of grain with one pound of white salt!"
The expressions of Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others changed again.
They didn't expect that these Linyi money valuations had such low estimates of food. It seems that food in Linyi is really flooding?
Upotong trembled and quickly said again: "The noble emperor of the Tang Dynasty, one pound of white salt can be at most 100 kilograms of grain, so there is no more!"
This time, Li Shimin could also see that this should be the limit of Lin Yi’s envoy. He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"Can you exchange one pound of white salt for one hundred pounds of grain?"
“That’s right!”
Upotong breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others nodded slowly.
"Can!"
Upotong was happy.
Li Shimin asked again: "How much does glass make food?"
"Three hundred kilograms of grain per piece of glass?"
"not enough!"
"Five hundred kilograms?"
"At least 1,500 kilograms!"
Changsun Wuji suddenly said.
"One thousand five hundred kilograms?"
After thinking for a moment, Upotong nodded with a relaxed look on his face and said, "Yes!"
Changsun Wuji was happy, looked at Li Shimin, and then continued to ask, "Where is the tea?"
"This noble man, can one pound of tea be exchanged for 200 pounds of grain?"
"At least five hundred kilograms!"
"That's fine!"
"Where is the liquor?"
"Wine wine...one thousand pounds?"
"I, King Jin of the Tang Dynasty, just auctioned 100 bottles of liquor today. I bought 500 stones of liquor for one bottle, and Erlinyi needs to produce at least 1,000 stones of grain to buy a bottle of liquor!"
"One Thousand Stone?"
"It is only the grain exchanged for a thousand pounds of white salt that can be exchanged for a bottle of white wine!"
Thinking that Lin Yi's monkey didn't understand arithmetic, Changsun Wuji explained.
"The grain exchanged for a thousand kilograms of white salt?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Upotong's eyes. He really didn't calculate it at this moment.
However, thinking of these Tang Dynasty nobles so respectful to the white wine, they nodded slowly.
"Can!"
"Very good!"
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others all had a hint of satisfaction in their eyes.
"I don't know where the envoys of Linyi left Linyi. My Tang Dynasty sent envoys to Linyi with you to buy food!"
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Upotong's eyes.
"How will the noble Emperor of Tang Dynasty be in one month?"
Obviously, Upotong is still a little reluctant to leave the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
"No, ten days at the latest!"
Hou Junji stared at Upotong.
Seeing this, Upotong trembled and nodded repeatedly, not daring to say anything more.
"It's great. Then ten days later, set out for Linyi!"
Li Shimin seemed to see nothing and nodded happily.
Then, he waved his hand and asked the eunuch to take the Uma to withdraw.
Seeing this, Upotong walked out with a happy face.
It is a great thing for them to use white salt, tea, glass and other items to go to Linyi to buy food.
Even after he brought the envoys of the Tang Dynasty back to Linyi, he could still be rewarded by His Majesty the King!
When Upotong was sent out, the entire hall suddenly became boiling.
"Your Majesty, I would like to lead the mission to Linyi, seize the opportunity to destroy Linyi, and let the whole country cultivate food for me, the Tang Dynasty!"
Hou Junji reported to Li Shimin with anticipation.
"Your Majesty, I also think that this kind of behavior is more beneficial to our Tang Dynasty!"
Changsun Wuji also said sinisterly.
"Slave Lin Yi?"
Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and without waiting for a few people to speak, he looked certain and said directly: "Since my king of a country has agreed with the envoy of Linyi to go to Linyi to buy food, he will go to Linyi to buy food. He must not be a person without trust!"
"Yes, your Majesty!"
Hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed in Hou Junji, Changsun Wuji and others' eyes, but they never spoke again.
"Maoyue."
Li Shimin shouted.
"What are your instructions?"
Tang Jian's face was happy and he quickly stood up to salute.
Li Shimin confessed: "This time you go to Linyi, you will be the envoy, and the Zuowu Hou Zhonglang General Su Dingfang is the deputy envoy. Be sure to check the situation of Linyi and his country clearly."
Tang Jian looked solemn, "It's okay, your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely investigate the country of Linyi clearly and let it have no secrets in front of my Tang Dynasty!"
"Um!"
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction. He still trusted the minister who first followed the Li family to rise up.
"In the past ten days, I will raise supplies as soon as possible. If I can buy two million stones of grain from Linyi this time, I will not be short of food this year!
The situation can be decided by your thinking!”
"Please rest assured that according to the wishes of the Upotong, Linyi must have stored a large amount of food!"
Tang Jian's face remained unchanged, and he bowed his hands with a solemn expression.
As for Linyi not having two million stones of food, it doesn’t matter. Just ask Su Dingfang to send troops to search and you will have everything!
He dared to deceive the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. As an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, he should teach Lin Yi a lesson!
On the side, Hou Junji looked full of desire, but Li Shimin didn't even look at him, which made him very depressed.
"Very good!"
Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others also knew what Tang Jian thought.
I didn't say much, but I took it for granted.
Afterwards, after chatting a little bit, Tang Jian said goodbye to Li Shimin and prepared for the mission.
In the afternoon, a series of edicts were issued from the Tai Chi Palace.
Instructing Tang Jian to go to the states along Linyi, Hangzhou, Taizhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou... and other states, each state sent 600 troops and five ships!
Therefore, when Tang Jian led his delegation's fleet to the south along the coastline of the Tang Dynasty, every time he passed by a state, a fleet would join in. After arriving in Linyi, he directly increased from a fleet of ten ships to a huge fleet of sixty ships, with nearly ten thousand troops.
The country of Linyi was shocked.
However, Li Xuan only chuckled after hearing Li Chengqian's report.
I hope that those lazy people in Linyi can satisfy Tang Jian.
Five days after the auction of the liquor, news came.
The second giant steel ship has been successfully built.
Li Xuan also brought Ma Xi, Xue Rengui, and six hundred personal guards to Qingzhou.
The envoy Gao Biaoren sent by Li Shimin, who was accompanied by two thousand soldiers and commander Li Gaoping, also had 10,000 bombs, 10,000 bombs, and 20,000 arrow bombs!
A total of three thousand soldiers and twelve large ships led by the Japanese envoy, Touka Mita-Saturai, headed to Japan in a mighty manner.
The captain Li Gaoping is Li Xiaogong's old subordinate. He is tall and has a top-down scar on his face. At first glance, he is a strong man!
The two thousand soldiers and generals were also the old subordinates who followed Li Xiaogong's battle, or the elite soldiers from coastal prefectures such as Qingzhou and Dengzhou.
Not only are they familiar with water wars, but if Li Xuan and others jump into the sea, these people can also pull each other and swim for the first half of the day.
Moreover, the shipmen of these fleets are also composed of some veterans.
It can be said that Li Shimin also put a lot of effort into the safety of Li Shimin's fleet.
After all, there were still a group of little bastards on the boat.
Li Xuan was also full of headaches for these little bastards who wanted to follow him to Japan by life or death.
