After listening to Liu Deng's words, the old men slowly fell silent.
Indeed, if what Liu Deng said is true, then none of it can be bought with money.
In this traditional agricultural society, people still tend to link everything with food.
Even if a family has ten thousand taels of gold, people are always accustomed to converting the gold into food.
Therefore, even the rank of officials is accustomed to using grain to calculate.
"Of course it's not unfair. In a few years, you will know how profitable this deal is!"
"If that's the case, then I won't bother you, Your Majesty!"
After receiving satisfactory answers, the old men nodded and retreated.
After they left, Liu Deng let out a long breath.
"How do you know that there are spices all over the world? And the rice that you mentioned is harvested three times a year, does it really exist in this world?"
"I asked you, can you make some noise when you come in and out? Don't you know that scaring people can scare them to death?"
Xu Yin's voice suddenly sounded behind him, which really startled Liu Deng.
"It's been a long time since I came in. You just didn't see me. You really don't blame me for this!"
Xu Yin spread his hands directly.
"Then, could you please knock on the door before coming in and out next time?"
Liu Deng rolled his eyes at him, and then walked to his desk.
"How do you know these things before you tell me? How can you be sure that there really is such a place in this world?"
Xu Yin's eyes flashed with strange light.
"Is this kind of thing weird? You won't tell me that you don't know these things, right? Okay, stop acting here, your acting skills are really poor!"
"Is it that fake?"
Xu Yin coughed dryly and asked awkwardly.
"Cochin is not that far away. Your business has already gone to Parthia. Do you really think I don't know about it?"
Liu Deng rolled his eyes at him while talking.
"I feel more and more that I should kill you!"
Xu Yin suddenly said seriously.
"Killing me will solve most of the problems in this world. Now you can do it!"
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
Xu Yin looked at Liu Deng with some confusion.
"Afraid! But, I'm sure you won't kill me!"
While Liu Deng was talking, he was still writing and drawing. When he was talking, he didn't even raise his head.
"Are you so sure?"
As Xu Yin spoke, he waved his right hand, and a dagger appeared directly in his hand.
"Okay, let's have mutton kebabs tomorrow night. Do you want to come with us? You're such an old man and you don't feel ashamed to play with that thing every day!"
Liu Deng glared at him angrily.
"I......"
The corners of Xu Yin's mouth twitched. Indeed, he had no reason to kill Liu Deng.
After all, he needed the so-called kingly aura in Liu Deng, and, except for Liu Deng, he didn't find anything different from ordinary people in almost the other princes of the Liu family.
However, what he didn't know was that almost all the differences in Liu Deng were brought to him by his education a thousand years later.
The princes of the Liu family, including Prince Liang, have been taught to eat, drink and have fun since childhood.
After all, a good prince is a prince who does not cause trouble to the court.
Although the Han Dynasty had a vast territory and abundant resources, the clan members of the Liu family were still spreading their branches and leaves.
If so many people are ambitious, can the emperor sleep peacefully at night?
Therefore, we cannot blame the children of those princes and kings who are almost all playboys. Didn’t the royal family deliberately send people to corrupt these people?
"Okay, just tell me whether you will come! If you don't come, you don't have to let them prepare your share!"
Listening to Liu Deng's impatient voice, Xu Yin felt depressed for a while.
"Go! Why don't you go!"
"If you didn't tell me this earlier, it would be over. I'll prepare a good place for you tomorrow. You just have to eat your food!"
"Why do I feel like I'm just a freeloader for you?"
Xu Yin asked with a frown.
"What? Are you planning to spend money?"
Liu Deng suddenly raised his head and looked at him with a strange expression.
"Pull me down! The three Lingnan countries have been given to you, and you still ask for money from me!"
Xu Yin was also angry for a while.
"Sometimes I really wonder, are these Lingnan Three Kingdoms so worthless in your eyes?"
Liu Deng finally stopped writing in his hand and looked at Xu Yin with a smile.
"What does a little wealth and honor in the world mean? Only ordinary people like you value these things. If you can really help me live forever, what if I give you all these things?"
As Xu Yin spoke, his eyes were filled with enthusiasm.
"You know what I want to do every time I hear that?"
Liu Deng suddenly smiled.
"do what?"
Xu Yin asked subconsciously.
"Every time I hear it, I want to see if you got kicked in the head by a donkey, hahahaha!"
Liu Deng couldn't help but squatted on the ground while holding his belly.
"I......"
Looking at Liu Deng's slightly deformed smiling face, Xu Yin really wanted to go up and give him a hammer.
However, thinking about the losses he suffered a few times before, he finally endured this.
"Hey, I told you to arrive early tomorrow morning. If you come too late, I can't guarantee whether those guys will leave you food."
Seeing Xu Yin running away, Liu Deng laughed and said.
After teasing Xu Yin, Liu Deng still had a smile on his face until the second night.
Even the businessmen present here, when they saw Liu Deng, felt that this king was indeed the most approachable prince in the entire Han Dynasty.
"Everyone, you're welcome. The restaurants in this city are really not popular. Instead of eating fish, why don't I treat you to mutton?"
Looking at the more than 20 businessmen present, Liu Deng stood up with a smile, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and turned around with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is a little thought prepared by us. Please accept it, Your Majesty!"
Although Liu Deng behaved very modestly, his reputation as the great war god was really well-known now. How could these businessmen dare to come empty-handed?
"I won't be polite to you either. I know your reason for coming, but after all, this thing is the hard work of officials from the Wuhan Academy. This is the contract drawn up by this king. You should take a look at it for yourselves."
Liu Deng smiled, and then directly motioned Shunzi to put the things he brought on the table.
