Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 125 Good stuff for the Turks!

"Your Majesty, what should we do in this case?"

Du Ruhui said in a deep voice.

Every time tribute was presented, there would be people from the Turks watching and selecting from within the Tang Dynasty. They would take away only those they liked.

It can be said to be extremely domineering.

Li Shimin nodded, his eyes deep.

He turned his head and looked at the exquisitely made glassware next to him. Those glassware were sent to him by the old man. The people in Wangyun Inn thought they were a bunch of worthless goods, but Li Shimin didn't think so, so he put them all in his Taiji Palace.

As it turned out, he was right.

Many times before, when Zhangsun Wuji and other close ministers came to report things to him, they would be attracted by these exquisite glassware and want to get some.

In order to create a sense of mystery for glass products, Li Shimin did not say that they were worthless goods. Instead, he exaggerated them to be magical, making glass products become mysterious in the eyes of Zhangsun Wuji and others.

Why did he do this?
Is it because of showing off?
no.

He was testing the reactions of Changsun Wuji and others to see if they could tell that the glass products were worthless. However, after some time had passed, Changsun Wuji and others not only did not think that the glass products were worthless, but instead thought they were divine objects.

Sometimes, when Li Shimin was in a good mood, he would mention how to get glass products. This was just a small trick.

Du Ruhui sent many rare treasures, and other close ministers also sent gifts to show their loyalty, all wanting to get a piece of glass. The most unique one among them was Zhangsun Wuji's.

In order to get a piece of glassware, he even specially asked Empress Changsun to whisper in Li Shimin's ear and plead for him. This really made Li Shimin and his wife, who knew the truth, laugh and cry.

After testing for so many days, these ministers who were used to seeing rare treasures did not notice any clues.

So….
If I give it to the Turks, with their vision, can they tell that glass products are worthless?
Li Shimin smiled slightly. He felt that this was impossible!

"Since it is almost time to send gifts to the Turks, what do you think would happen if we took these glass products and gave them to them?"

Li Shimin's eyes were burning.

I heard this.

Changsun Wuji and the other two were all shocked.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! This glass is a sacred object, how can you give it to the Turks!"

"Yes, yes, although these glass products are only for viewing, this viewing value is extraordinary. Your Majesty, look at the real dragon glass product next to you, it is lifelike, which means that God regards you as a real dragon! That is why he gave you such a divine object! If you give this divine object to the Turks, God may be angry! You must not do that!"

"...."

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui knelt down to persuade him.

At this time, even the always honest Wei Zheng couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, Zhangsun Pushe and Prime Minister Du are right. This item represents the fortune of our Tang Dynasty. It can shock foreigners who come to the Tang Dynasty. We must never give it to the Turks!"

Hearing that Changsun Wuji and the other two all protected glass products in this way, Li Shimin laughed, and laughed very happily.

"Hey, Your Majesty, why are you doing this..."

Changsun Wuji didn't dare to say anything further.

But deep down, I always felt that Your Majesty didn't pay much attention to these glass products.

The other two people thought the same.

"Hahaha, my dear ministers, I am really sorry for trouble you."

Li Shimin felt a little guilty.

Zhang Sun Wuji was puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Li Shimin smiled slightly and said, "The so-called sacred glass products you mentioned are actually... worthless."

worthless!
Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji and the other two widened their eyes.

stunned!

Shock!

Can't believe it!

They couldn't believe that the thing they had always believed to be a divine object was worthless in Li Shimin's words.

Li Shimin didn't wait for them to question him, and said in advance: "These things all came from Wangyun Inn. They are the masterpieces of Mr. Qin."

Wangyun Inn…….
Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji and the other two hesitated.

There have been so many legends about Wangyun Inn recently that the three of them could also remember the folk inn.

Wangyun Inn has created so many miracles that if this glass product came from Wangyun Inn, it might really be worthless.

Seeing the expressions of the three people, Li Shimin continued to explain: "When I first saw these glass products, I was also shocked. Later, after the housekeeper of Wangyun Inn took me to see many things inside, I suddenly realized that anything from Wangyun Inn, even if it is very creative, may be worthless."

“And this glass product is one of them!”

"Well, there is no point in talking any more. Today, the three of you should follow me to Wangyun Inn. No matter how much I talk, it will not be as good as seeing him in person."

"Let's go together. I have already contacted Wangyun Inn."

Li Shimin stood up from his seat and was the first to walk out of the Taiji Palace.

Changsun Wuji and the other two looked at each other, and then followed Li Shimin one after another.

………………

Wangyun Inn.

At a corner, Li Shimin and a little thing were filled to the brim.

"ah!!"

The little guy cried out in surprise, and the voice was exactly that of Little Sizi.

At this time, Xiao Sizi bumped into Li Shimin's thigh, and his head was covered with stars.

Li Shimin wanted to get angry, but when he saw that it was his precious daughter, he was at a loss and squatted down and said, "Little Sizi, this, this, this, are you okay?"

"Father, did I hurt you?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his baby daughter's red head.

The corners of Zhangsun Wuji's mouth twitched. Is this still the brave Li Shimin just now? How did he become a daughter slave?

This change is too fast.

"Wuwuwu, Father! I hate you. I hate you so much! Why do you beat Sizi for no reason?"

Little Sizi pouted, wanting to cry but without tears.

Li Shimin held the little guy's head into his arms and said apologetically, "Okay, okay, okay, Sizi, don't be angry. It's your father's fault."

"What do you want to eat tonight, Sizi? Father will ask the imperial kitchen to make it for you."

delicious!
Little Sizi was about to cry, but her eyes suddenly brightened and she said with a smile, "Hehe, Father, Sizi wants to eat hotpot. If she wants to eat hotpot, it's not your fault."

this…….
Li Shimin was quite hesitant.

According to the people at Wangyun Inn, hotpot is not suitable for daily consumption. Little Sizi is in the growing stage, so it is even more inappropriate for him to eat too much hotpot.

Moreover, his wife, Empress Zhangsun, also kept telling him that Xiao Sizi should not eat too much hotpot. Sometimes she would always catch Xiao Sizi sneaking into the imperial kitchen to eat hotpot, which made her very angry.

can not eat.

but….
Li Shimin looked at his beloved daughter's expectant eyes again and immediately had an idea.

Go to hell!

What broken rules are there? None of them are as important as my precious daughter’s happiness!
"OK!"

"Little Sizi, father promises you that he will take you to eat hotpot later."

Li Shimin agreed very readily.

"Wow!"

Little Sizi's eyes were bright and sparkling as he said, "Father is the best. Long live Father!"

After saying that, she hugged Li Shimin tightly with her two little hands and stuck to him tightly.

Li Shimin suddenly couldn't stop smiling. Isn't this what he wanted? His daughter is so attached to him.

but….
When Li Shimin thought that Qin Changye would come back and take away this clingy treasure, his face instantly turned ugly.

If Qin Changye was here, Xiao Sizi would definitely stick to him, so what would he have to do?

Thinking about this, Qin Changye went out to do some business recently.

most,
It’s better not to come back to Chang’an City!
Li Shimin shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He picked up Xiao Sizi and walked towards Wangyun Inn.

"Xiao Sizi, what are you doing at Wangyun Inn today?"

Li Shimin smiled. "Ah, this, this, this."

Little Sizi chewed his fingers, frantically organizing his words in his little head, and then he said, "It's like this, Sizi came to Wangyun Inn to repay his gratitude."

"Repay a favor?"

"Yes, father, the old man saved my sister before, and he also forgave Sizi for breaking things, so Sizi gave the old man and his family a lot of delicious food, and then played with Baihe for the whole day."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Is that so? It seems our little Sizi has a playmate now."

Li Shimin could tell that there was something hidden in Xiao Sizi's words, but he didn't want to get to the bottom of it.

"Hehe, yes, Baihe is really nice and can play a lot of fun things with Sizi."

"Oh, by the way, Father, what are you doing in my second brother's inn?"

Little Sizi's eyes sparkled.

"Wait a minute, our Sizi will know."

Li Shimin laughed and kept the secret.

Walk into Wangyun Inn.

I found several old men waiting ahead.

"Your Majesty, you are here."

The old man bowed, followed by the others.

Li Shimin also bowed and said, "Old sir, I am sorry to bother you. May I ask if the things are ready?"

The old man nodded and said, "I dare not delay and have already made preparations. Your Majesty, please follow me."

The old man leads the way.

Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji and others followed closely.

On the way, little Sizi was restlessly shaking her feet and kept asking Li Shimin what he was here to see.

Li Shimin was a daughter slave and he almost couldn't help but say it out loud, but he finally held back.

Arriving at a warehouse.

The old man stopped and ordered his men to go forward and open the warehouse.

"Dong dong dong..."

The warehouse is open.

A heavy sound with a slightly historical feel.

And when it is opened.

Changsun Wuji and the other two widened their eyes instantly.

stunned!

Frightened!

Shock!

Can't believe it!

I saw the warehouse door wide open in front of me.

many!
So many glass products!
They are placed everywhere randomly as if they are free.

"Your Majesty, this, this, this, this!!"

"How is this possible? How could this happen?!"

"Oh my god, there are so many glass products! Just like your majesty said, they are as if they are free!"

Changsun Wuji and the other two took a deep breath.

Li Shimin seemed to have anticipated their reactions and said with a calm smile: "My dear ministers, this is just one part of the story."

"If you still want to see glass products, there are other places too. Even in one day, the many talented people at Wangyun Inn can make a lot of glass products."

This!
The words fell.

Changsun Wuji and the other two once again realized the strength of Wangyun Inn.

No, it’s the horror of that...immortal!
"Your Majesty, now, I believe it."

Changsun Wuji lowered his head helplessly.

Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng did not speak, but it was the same for everyone, because Changsun Wuji had already spoken for them.

"So, these things are extremely simple to make, and therefore they are not scarce."

"In comparison, the food, gold, cloth, etc. given to the Turks in previous years are precious things."

"Master Qin once said that this thing is extremely cheap, and in the whole world, only Wangyun Inn has this glass, so..."

Li Shimin had not finished speaking, but Changsun Wuji and the other two people nearby had instantly understood Li Shimin's plan.

I couldn't help but be shocked.

But after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Yes!

Yup!

If this is true, then the Tang Dynasty can be said to have gained a great advantage!

If worthless things could be given to the Turks, who would be willing to give them hard currencies such as food, gold, and cloth?

Not to mention, the Tang Dynasty had just experienced a famine and was not wealthy. Moreover, because of the promulgation of the imperial examination system, the major families regarded the royal family as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh. The royal family needed gold and silver that they controlled even more.

However, no emperor would be willing to do this, even if he was wealthy.

This is equivalent to giving money to others for free!

Use glass products to replace food and other supplies.

If it is possible, wouldn’t it be a huge profit!
…………

These things cannot be eaten or used.

It only has incomparable exquisite viewing value.

If it is scarce, it's fine, but if it is not scarce, then there will be no pain at all.

Now Qin Changye and His Majesty have said that it is just a gadget for display.

It is also said that it can be mass-produced, which shows how low its cost is.

so.

The Turks were unaware of this, and they would not feel bad about handing these things over to them.

Wonderful!

"Your Majesty, this... this is absolutely amazing! This idea is truly amazing! I think it is feasible!"

"Hahaha, that's right, Your Majesty, it's absolutely feasible. These things can't be eaten or mixed, so what's the harm in giving some to the Turks?"

"These things of Mr. Qin, hahaha, I didn't expect that they could save millions of gold for our Tang Dynasty!!"

"..."

Changsun Wuji and the other two shouted.

Li Shimin was also extremely excited as he looked at the room full of glass.

Qin Wenyuan, ah Qin Wenyuan, you are related to that immortal, which is really amazing. Maybe it is not valuable to you, but to me, it is an invaluable thing.

This is the glass in front of me. It really helped me a lot and saved the world a lot of expenses!
Li Shimin couldn't help getting excited when he thought about it.

"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."

At the same time, the little rhinoceros in his arms suddenly let out a howl.

Little Sizi got up so early today, and played and ran around. Now that he has calmed down, he suddenly feels empty in his stomach.

hungry.

Little Sizi felt a little embarrassed and buried his head in Li Shimin's arms again.

But nothing was said.

She had something to hide, having stolen the imperial seal and listening to secret plans. Now that the old man was present, she dared not speak loudly.
