Because how much does five watermelons cost?
Compared to other rewards, Duan Lun wants other rewards, such as money, but not watermelon.
Because the watermelons sold by Shengtang Group are now affordable to most people.
Li Shimin actually used it to reward himself, which was a bit difficult for him to accept.
Duan Lun's performance was a bit slow, which made Li Shimin very unhappy.
He didn't seem very happy looking at him.
"What? Isn't my reward good?"
"No, no, your Majesty, such a reward is too heavy, I can't bear it! Let's give the watermelon to the concubines, princes and princesses to eat!"
Duan Lun said quickly.
Li Shimin was even more unhappy.
"I told you, this is a reward. Are you trying to resist the order?"
Such an imposition on others makes people very unhappy! But who made him the emperor? !
So Duan Lun quickly said: "No, no, no, I obey your order!"
It seems that this has to be accepted. It’s better than nothing!
Li Shimin said with satisfaction: "Very good, I am very pleased!"
Duan Lun thought to himself, this Li Shimin really knows how to behave.
Or maybe he doesn't know that watermelons are not very expensive now. Think these watermelons are still hard to find? It’s been so long, so I don’t think I don’t know!
If you knew it, that would be pretty damning. Work so hard on yourself. How many watermelons is it worth? It wouldn’t be nice if it were anyone else!
Moreover, these watermelons cannot be stored permanently and will go bad if not eaten in time...
Although he said this, he did not dare to say it out loud, for fear that Li Shimin would be unhappy after hearing it and put himself in danger.
Therefore, he could only leave the palace with five watermelons.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave first!"
"Exactly, you have to make that calculator well, you know? The more you produce, the better!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Duan Lun then turned and left the palace.
In the entire palace, only Dai Zhou and Li Shimin were present.
Dai Zhou saw everything that had just happened. At this time, he had no other emotions except sighs. He even dared not speak, for fear that those watermelons would fall on him.
"Dai Zhou, aren't you going together?" Li Shimin suddenly asked.
This tool man is leaving after completing the verification just now.
But he had no intention of leaving.
That's why Li Shimin asked this question.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Shimin seemed to be in a happy mood. He thought he was doing great favor to others. It also saved the court a lot of money.
Asking questions also seemed particularly active.
"About the recent caravan from Tianzhu!"
Regarding Tianzhu people, Li Shimin had nothing in particular that he wanted to hear. It feels like it is very normal for these people to come to Chang'an. This is private trade, which is very helpful for tax revenue. He hopes that more foreigners can come to Datang to trade!
so. He just asked casually.
"What happened to them?"
"They transported a large amount of gold into Chang'an City!"
"A lot of gold? What do they want in exchange for it?"
Li Shimin stood up suddenly.
This is money.
A lot of gold, how much is that? What is their purpose?
"Yes! A lot of it!"
"How many are there? Have you ever calculated them?"
"countless!"
Dai Zhou said this, and there is a reason for this.
Because there is no way to count them.
After all, they couldn't step forward to intercept the other party and count other people's property.
The people of Tang Dynasty could not do such a thing. In that case, who will dare to do business with them in the future?
"countless?"
Guxiang
Li Shimin was a little shocked.
The word countless is used!
How much gold is this?
Then he asked:
"Then what did they bring the gold to Chang'an for?"
"It seems to be doing business with Shengtang Group!"
It is an open secret that these people came to Chang'an.
"Doing business with Shengtang Group? They need so much gold? So when they buy it, it's a lot?"
Li Shimin was very puzzled.
How can you get so much gold by doing business with Li Min? It's more about replacing some things that Li Min needs. Those are what the group wants, like medicinal materials!
"I guess this is the tuition fees left by those previous international students."
"Why does tuition require so much money?"
"As far as I know, the Sixth Prince gave the Tianzhu people a high price. Each international student needs ten percent of the money! Otherwise, we won't teach!"
"Oh? If that's the case, then that boy did a good job!"
Li Shimin said quite appreciatively. It’s so refreshing to be treated so differently!
Yes, Li Min did a good job indeed.
In fact, it is not the case. The money is the cost of those phone calls.
Of course, Shengtang Group would not let Li Shimin know about this. Once he found out, he would have to shake things up.
"This boy knows how to operate such a thing very well. In this way, it is best to collect all the Tianzhu people's money for his own use. As long as it can be put into the pockets of the Shengtang Group, it is equivalent to entering Chang'an. It’s in Datang’s pocket!”
Half of what he said remained unsaid, but it actually went into the pocket of his own court.
After all, the court also collects taxes.
The money will end up in Li Shimin's pocket.
"Your Majesty can think so, I feel relieved!"
Dai Zhou said so.
Li Shimin heard that something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Why do you say that suddenly?"
"I am worried that Your Majesty has misunderstood the Sixth Prince again and is going to embarrass him again!"
"Dai Zhou, Dai Zhou, don't you know what I am like? Will I embarrass him? If he doesn't embarrass me, that's good."
"Yes, what your Majesty said is absolutely true!"
"Anything else?"
"It seems there is no more!"
"No, just go down!"
Li Shimin walked to the window, Dai Zhou nodded in agreement and was about to leave.
But he was stopped again.
"etc"
"Your Majesty, is there anything else?"
"As for the immortality medicine, have you got any accurate information from Shengtang Group?"
Dai Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty is too flattering to me. I don't have as much information as you do!"
He said so.
"That being said, you have a good relationship with the two people named Su. Did he reveal anything to you?"
"Your Majesty, this really doesn't happen! Moreover, the Sixth Prince said that all progress will be reflected in the newspaper. Your Majesty just needs to wait patiently!"
"I just didn't see it in the newspaper! Otherwise, why would I ask you?"
Li Shimin was a little angry.
Then, he said: "Okay, it's none of your business, just go down."
My originally good mood turned a little worse.
Dai Zhou was relieved and quickly left the palace.
If he doesn't leave, he's afraid that Li Shimin will make nonsense again.
And after he left, Li Shimin didn't sleep all night.
I don’t know what I’m thinking.
In the tenement building, Li Min was receiving the envoy from Tianzhu.
