After the dinner, Ba Zhuo was in a good mood, and secretly decided to go to Li Hao to talk about the kickbacks tomorrow.

According to the agreement, a 100,000 jar of wine is a 100,000 pounds of profit, and he can use this money to bribe many people.

For example, the former Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty, as long as she helps, everything will not be a problem.

Thinking of Princess Yicheng, Bazhuo shivered. Others might not know it, but he knew that this woman's methods were absolutely extraordinary, and her influence could even influence the old man.

To give a simple example, this time the Turkic army came to Chang'an. To put it bluntly, it was actually Princess Yicheng who bewitched him from behind. The purpose is very simple. I am the princess of the former Sui Dynasty. If I can't destroy you, the Tang Dynasty, I will also disgust you to death.

Such a crazy woman is a double-edged sword. If she uses it well, she can become her own helper. If she doesn't use it well, it is hard to say whether she can save her life.

Of course, apart from the money given to Princess Yicheng, Bazhuo thought he could leave at least 50,000 guan.

He can use these 50,000 jin to buy some people or train some private soldiers.

In addition, compared with these, Ba Zhuo believes that the biggest gain of this mission is to get to know Li Hao.

Judging from the fact that this person was favored in front of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it is necessary to have a good relationship with him. Maybe he could take the opportunity to buy some scarce supplies from him.

In short, in Bazhuo's opinion, this mission has achieved great rewards, a bright future, and a great situation.

...

Li Er was in a good mood. As the saying goes, people were in good spirits when they were happy. The income of more than 700,000 yuan made the handsome man a little flutter. He pulled Queen Changsun to walk around the East Palace while walking around, pointing at the same time, saying that he wanted to repair here and change there.

Empress Changsun is an absolute virtuous wife, who is the kind of person who passes a knife if Li Er wants to kill someone. At this time, it will naturally not ruin his interest and will accompany him to crazy.

I was walking around, but I heard someone shouting behind me: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and my nephew."

Who is this? It's so unruly. Li Er, who was a little disappointed, turned around calmly. He saw a piece of red thing from afar. He jumped over and shouted behind him while running: "I said why are you chasing me? I really have something to do with your Majesty."

Li Dejian? Why didn’t this kid go home and run around the palace?

Li Er quickly recognized the identity of the person. With a wave of his hand, the eunuch Lin Xi beside him immediately said with a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has an order. Li Dejian will meet with him, and the imperial guards will retreat."

With Lin Xi's voice, all the imperial guards retreated, leaving Li Hao with staggering footsteps alone. When he got closer, Li Er asked in a harmonious voice: "Dejian, if you don't go home so late, why are you going to find me?"

"Your Majesty, Empress, and Empress." Li Hao first politely saluted according to the rules and took this opportunity to take a while before saying, "Uncle Emperor, I don't want to go home, but I don't dare to go back."

Li Er frowned: "Oh? Why?"

Li Hao said with a frown: "Don't they have ordered so many wines, more than 300,000 jars, and so much wine alone costs more than 60,000 yuan. How can my nephew have so much money at home? I won't be beaten to death by my father when I go home."

Li Er's expression instantly became very exciting. After saying so much, it turned out that he came to me to ask for money. No wonder he worked so hard that even dozens of imperial guards could not catch up with him.

Empress Changsun was very surprised at what Li Hao said: "More than 60,000 guan? Does the cost require so much?"

"Yes, my wife." Li Hao said bitterly: "This is just a cost, not a labor force. If the labor force is added, it is probably not a 70,000 yuan that can't be stopped."

"Seventy thousand guan?" Li Er's excitement just now disappeared, and he frowned and said, "Dejian, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's because this number is too large. If you give it to you, there will be criticism in the court."

It's so stingy. Such a big emperor wouldn't even be willing to give up on 70,000 yuan. If I hadn't been prepared, I would have been going back empty-handed. Li Hao rubbed his nose and said, "Uncle Emperor, in fact, my nephew didn't want the wrong money."

Li Er wondered: "Then what do you want to borrow?"

"I just need to borrow some grain. Don't we have a regular warehouse settlement? Please give me a note and I'll borrow some from there." After Li Hao finished speaking, he did not forget to add: "The main reason is that our business this time is too big. If we collect grain in Chang'an, I'm afraid that the grain price will fly if it has not been collected yet."

"Hiss..." Li Er was shocked and gasped, and the scene of the soaring grain prices and the people selling their children and women flashed through his mind.

Before, just thinking about more than 700,000 yuan, I never thought that wine was brewed by grain. Selling so much wine would mean selling all the food.

This is not possible. Half of the people in the Tang Dynasty were hungry, but the emperor took out the food for the people and sold it. How could this be done by the monarch?

Li Er's face changed rapidly, and he sighed for a long time: "Oh, forgot, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise this time. Li Dejian, go back and tell those envoys of foreign countries that we won't sell this wine."

Li Hao didn't expect that his words would cause Li Er to react so much, and he was shocked: "Ah? I won't sell it anymore?"

"No," Li Er nodded: "I can't let my Tang people go hungry for my own selfishness. The people are already suffering enough."

Queen Changsun was afraid that Li Hao would not understand, so she explained to him: "Dejian, although your wine can be exchanged for a lot of money, the wine is made of grain. I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, can't even eat enough food at the moment, so how can Your Majesty bear to sell their food again?"

Yes, it makes sense to say it well.

Li Hao must admit that Li Er is indeed a good emperor, but his eyelids are too shallow.

Seeing Li Hao's entangled look, Li Er said: "If you have anything you want to say, just say it. I said at the banquet that you can speak freely today. When it is not over yet, you can say it with confidence and boldness."

It seems that I can only die for fellow Taoists but not for me. In order to improve Li Er's horizon, Li Hao decided to sacrifice a small southern country: "Uncle Emperor, do you know there is a Champa country in the south?"

"Chancheng Kingdom..." Li Er thought for a while and said, "You are talking about Xianglin County in the Han Dynasty, right?"

"Uh..." Li Hao was a little confused: "Probably, this is not important. What I have to do is that my nephew heard that the rice in that place can be produced for three seasons a year. When local people sow the seeds, they just throw the rice into the field at will, and there is no need to weed. They can be harvested after three or four months."

Li Er's mentality exploded instantly when he harvested rice for three seasons a year and asked repeatedly: "What? Where did you hear this? How true?"

Considering that if the matter was fake, Li Hao did not give Li Er a positive answer and said tactfully: "My nephew also saw it from an ancient book. It's really not true that it's impossible to be sure, but Xiao felt that the cave was not like wind. I'll just know if it was sent to see it. If there was really such rice, we would send a large army to destroy the country and slaughter the city and rob him of the city."

Li Er, Empress Changsun: “…”
