At this time, Tang Ping didn't know why, but the story of Rabbit selling two kicks to Camel suddenly appeared in his mind.
At that time, Rabbit offered Erqiji 100 million, and all was packaged and sold to Camel.
As a result, Luotuo thought it was 100 million US dollars each and called it a bargain. In the end, he spent 3.5 billion to buy 35 two-foot kicks from Rabbit.
Tang Ping originally thought such a thing was very ridiculous, but he didn't expect that it would happen to him today.
Fortunately, Tang Ping is not a profiteer, and he did not come to Datang just to make money. After all, he has no interest in money.
So he said honestly: "General Li San, I'm talking about four coins!"
"Hey! Ah!"
"Zhao..."
After hearing Tang Ping's price, Li Yuanji shook his hand and rubbed his fingers on the rough oil stone. The anxious guard behind him almost revealed his identity.
He glared at his guard, and then looked at Tang Ping in disbelief: "You...you mean four coins? Is this what I have? Four coins for a handful?"
"Yes! But I ask for it to be converted into gold!" This was Tang Ping's only condition. After all, if he really had to give him tens of thousands of Kaiyuan Tongbao copper coins, he wouldn't be able to buy anything back to modern times.
"Really four coins?" Li Yuanji didn't bother about gold or gold transactions at all.
If the price is really this, what is the point of trading in gold?
"It's really just four coins!"
Li Yuanji stood up in a flash, no longer sharpening the knife, and didn't care if the skin on his hand was broken.
He took the steel bar and got on the guard's horse: "You guys take care of this place, I'll go into the palace!"
After saying that, he slapped the horse and ran away.
Tang Ping estimated that he had gone to report to his superiors, so he was not in a hurry. Thinking that just now Li Yuanji could come up with a price of 4 yuan a handful, but he only gave a price of 4 yuan. How could this deal be so bad? It’s done.
Li Yuanji rode into Chang'an and held up his token when he entered the city gate. Of course the city guards knew him, and seeing that he was in such a hurry, they naturally did not dare to stop him because they were worried about urgent military matters.
When he rushed to the imperial city, he threw the sign to the inner guards and said that he had something urgent to report to His Majesty, and no one stopped him.
After all, he was alone, and he couldn't ride a horse in the imperial city. That was just an ordinary situation.
Now that Zhao Wangling has been thrown away, it means that the situation must be extraordinary.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, Your Majesty is discussing matters with the Lord of the Ministry of War!" When Li Yuanji got off his horse in front of the Xiande Hall, a chamberlain came forward.
"Gong Lu is here too? That's just right!" Li Yuanji said as he held the steel bar in his hand and was about to go in.
But you must know that although his steel rod has not been fully sharpened, it already has the prototype of a knife.
No one stopped him outside, but now that Emperor Li Shimin was inside the Xiande Hall, he couldn't go in with a knife.
It's just that these internal guards didn't dare to be tough and just stopped him.
Anxious Li Yuanji yelled: "Get out of here! I want to see my second brother, whoever stops me will deal with whoever I want to deal with!"
He was also dizzy with anxiety. At this time, he could just give the steel bar in his hand to an inner guard, but he had to pull it tightly by himself.
Of course, Li Shimin and Hou Junji heard the noise outside. When they opened the door, they saw Li Yuanji sweating profusely, surrounded by a group of internal guards, with a bright knife in his hand.
"What are you doing?" Li Shimin roared, then looked at the inner guard: "Let him in."
Li Shimin spoke, and the inner guards could only look at each other, and then let Li Yuanji go.
Li Yuanji ignored them and walked forward and handed the steel bar in his hand to Li Shimin: "Second brother, let's go inside and talk."
Li Shimin didn't know what he was guilty of, but from the look on his face, he probably was in a hurry, so he nodded and walked back to the Xiande Hall.
Hou Junji originally wanted to follow him back, but was stopped by Li Yuanji: "Gong Lu, please wait!"
After saying that, he closed the door of Xiande Hall with a bang.
"Okay, tell me, what's going on?" After a few steps in, Li Shimin had already taken a good look at the steel rod Li Yuanji gave him.
For an emperor like him, he can really tell the quality of a steel knife at a glance.
He felt that the quality of this steel knife, which was not yet fully formed, was almost catching up with the precious knives in his inner arsenal.
"I got this from Tang Ping." Li Yuanji explained first: "He said he had 10,000 pieces and wanted to sell them to us!"
After saying that, he directly picked up the tea cup from Li Shimin's table and started drinking.
"Ten thousand?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
The number of these magical weapons is small, and its effect in a battle can be said to be almost negligible.
Otherwise, Li Shimin would have given away all the magic weapons collected in his inner treasury.
But if there are 10,000 of them and they are equipped to your own sharp knife troops, then the effect will be completely different.
Think about it if the vanguard army breaks into the enemy's formation, and the enemy's weapons break and break when they meet your side, and the enemy's armor looks like paper. What kind of scene will it be like?
Especially now, the first enemy that Datang has to face is the Turks in the northwest, and the Turks mostly use sharp scimitars as weapons.
If those scimitars meet such a weapon made of good steel...
Li Shimin started to get excited just thinking about it.
"Buy it, I must buy it. How much does he offer?"
"This is the number!" Li Yuanji imitated Tang Ping and stretched out four fingers.
"Four guans? No problem!" Li Shimin's reaction was the same as Li Yuanji's. Forty thousand guans were equipped for his sharp knife troops, which was not a loss at all.
"Who told you it was Si Guan?" Li Yuanji asked with a sly smile.
"Forty Guan?" Li Shimin frowned. Although the price was slightly high, if this thing really spread the news to the surrounding countries, he believed that other countries would rush to bring money to buy it.
"If it's forty guan, I guess the Ministry of War won't be able to come up with that much money at once!"
"It's forty strings, but we only have forty strings in total!"
"How much?" Li Shimin, who was so calm as the Emperor of the Ages, felt his voice tremble a little.
In fact, anyone who hears this price will think it is fake.
"Forty taels, but Tang Ping said that they should be converted into gold, 40 taels."
In fact, Li Yuanji knew that Li Shimin would not hesitate for 400 taels or even 4000 taels, let alone 40 taels.
After taking a deep breath, Li Shimin digested the news. Of course he knew that Li Yuanji could not lie about such a matter.
"Third brother, do you think there is a possibility that Tang Ping already knows that we are his uncles?"
"Can't you? None of the three of us said anything about it, how could he know?"
"Then why did he sell it to us so cheaply? This makes no sense at all!"
