Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

The news that Wang Hongfu went to Jixiang Ruyi attracted considerable attention

Although Wang Hongfu did it very covertly, it was still seen by some merchants nearby, and rumors about King Ji's purchase of the divine beads began to spread in Chang'an City. In particular, the businessman King Ji is known as the reincarnation of the God of Wealth.

Could the thing he bought be of bad quality? Besides, I bought it secretly, so there must be some unknown things.

So everyone was asking for a while whether the divine beads sold by Tianzhu people were as magical as he said.

Today's Datang newspaper front page is different from usual. Because today's front page is an advertisement.

The article said that this Indian businessman was named Jarava Shudra, and he was a servant of King Harsha of the Harsha Dynasty. This time I came under orders to exchange divine beads for gold.

The article first explains that Lord Shiva is one of the three main gods of India, in charge of creation and destruction. In Buddhist literature, Shiva is called the Great Self-Heaven and the Lord of the Three Thousand Realms.

Buddhism regards him as the incarnation of Dharmakaya Buddha Mahavativara Tathagata. It is said that Lord Shiva has boundless power and punishes evil and promotes good in the world.

Later, he returned to the Three Thousand Worlds and left many magic weapons in the human world. Among them are the prayer beads he wears, which symbolize blessing and health. There were one hundred and eight thousand in total, but they fell into the holy river for unknown reasons.

And this time, because Lord Shiva sent an oracle to Harsha Vardana, the king of Harsha Kingdom, he was asked to build a golden dharma body tens of meters high so that he could bring blessings and benefit the people.

King Harsha used all the gold in the country but it was not enough, so he fished out the sacred beads from the holy river with the permission of Lord Shiva.

Ship it to various parts of the world in exchange for gold. When the Dharma body is completed, God Shiva will bring blessings, and then other treasures will be exchanged for the divine beads.

The article also mentioned that Jarava Shudra only brought more than 3000 divine beads with him this time. The others went to other kingdoms, and they didn't want any coins, just gold.

After the newspaper was published, it instantly became a topic of conversation after dinner in Chang'an. Most people expressed doubts about what the article mentioned about the supreme god and the oracle.

Although people in this period were relatively superstitious, they were still relatively rational when it came to outsiders.

But at this moment, another shocking news came from the court.

When he went to court today, a minister discovered that His Majesty was wearing a string of sacred beads on his hand. Crystal clear and mellow color. Similar to crystal. It is also more transparent than crystal.

"Your Majesty, I didn't know you were wearing a divine bead on your hand." Fang Xuanling asked

"That's what you're talking about, that's right. Prince Ji heard from the noble concubine that I haven't been sleeping well recently, so he came to the palace yesterday to give it to me.

There are eighteen in total. They are said to be the magic weapons of some kind of god in Tianzhu, which can protect health and suppress evil spirits. King Ji was very filial, and I couldn't refute his intention, so I took it with me. "Li Shimin raised his hand and said a little showily.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if wearing it is really as magical as what the newspaper said." Changsun Wuji also asked curiously.

"I don't feel much about this, but after putting it on yesterday, I felt a lot more comfortable sleeping. I think it might have some magic power.

But it's not that obvious. "Li Shimin replied uncertainly. Changsun Wuji also heard from Queen Changsun that Li Shimin has not been sleeping well recently, is easily awakened, and always has nightmares.

"Then it seems that what was said in the newspaper is not entirely unfounded, but it may be because the number is small that the magical power is insufficient." Changsun Wuji said after listening to Li Shimin's words.

"Then why not let King Ji buy more?" Censor Cui Renzhi asked. As long as it makes Li Shen uncomfortable. No matter how big or small he is, he is willing to participate.

After hearing Cui Renzhi's words, Li Shimin glanced at him and sighed.

"Hey~~ It's not that Prince Ji didn't want to buy it, it's just that the merchant from Zhu only wanted gold. He made all the gold in Prince Ji's palace into utensils and jewelry.

These eighteen divine beads were obtained in exchange for the last remaining gold in his house. There are quite a lot of copper coins, silk and silk in his house. It's a pity that Zhu merchant didn't want it that day, but I heard from him that he would buy gold for me. "

"Prince Ji is really filial," Changsun Wuji praised. He had long known from Empress Changsun that Li Shenzhi was no longer on the throne.

And he was very optimistic about Li Chengqian, helped Li Chengqian a lot, and even pulled Li Chengqian back from the wrong path several times. For him, anyone who does not threaten Li Chengqian's throne and helps Li Chengqian is an ally.

The next day, news spread throughout Chang'an that Li Shimin felt refreshed after wearing the eighteen divine beads given by King Ji, and that his trouble sleeping for many days was slightly improved.

"Has the news been released?" At this moment, Li Shen was lying leisurely on a lounge chair in his garden. Next to her, Wu Meiniang was feeding fruits.

"Everything has spread. Your Majesty, Prince Ji, asked for a large sum of money for the Divine Bead. Two hundred dollars would be enough for one." Wang Hongfu stood in front of Li Shen. He bowed and said.

"Well, let's collect it like this first. If we can't receive it within two days, we will increase the price, but don't increase it too much, little by little.

Also, if you are on a trip to Jixiang Ruyi, you can ask in public if you can use copper coins to buy two hundred pieces. I have to get a pair for my mother and sister to wear. "Li Shen closed his eyes and ordered like a landlord and a wealthy man.

"Yes"

After Wang Hongfu took the order, Xue Rengui, who was standing next to him, said softly, "Your Majesty, news just came that the Blade Team has finished its work and has returned."

"Has it been discovered?"

"Back to the prince, things went well."

"Well, let them rest for a while. There may be things to do later. This is just the beginning. We are waiting for His Majesty's final decision. If you dare to assassinate me, one Cui Dunli will not be enough. Someone from each of their families must die."

"Yes" Xue Rengui replied

"Well, by the way, who is in charge of the breeding farm now?" He only participated in the establishment of the breeding farm, and the rest was left to Shitou at first, then Wei Fugui, and then he didn't know who it was.

"My lord, it's Eunuch Hu Liang who retired from the palace last year. He was introduced by Manager Wang, who said he was honest and reliable." Wei Fugui replied.

"Well, Lao Wang's recommendation should be correct. He told him that the hatchery needs to be expanded. Starting next year, we will keep some for ourselves and for the palace.

The rest will be distributed to farmers, starting with Huangzhuang, and let them go to Meishan to breed. Otherwise, the smell would be too great in the village.

Xuance, please contact the Ministry of Revenue and we will collect the old grain. It doesn't matter how long it takes. Anyway, it is not for human consumption, but also distributed to farmers for feed. Li Shen said this, stood up, took a sip of tea and continued:

"We don't need any money for livestock or food. But I told the farmers that since they don't need any money, our palace can't waste our efforts in vain.

All raised livestock and poultry must be sold to us at three levels of market price. If someone thinks it is not cost-effective, they can also pay to buy and raise them, but they can be sold to whomever they are willing to sell. "

"It's your lord, I'll go tell Eunuch Hu soon," Wei Fugui replied.

"Well. Then you go. By the way. Let this Hu Liang tell the farmers to raise them carefully. If there are many deaths due to poor breeding, then don't raise them in the future. If you don't pay for a good life, what will happen? Return." Li Shen added

Wei Fugui also went out to do errands. Only Wang Xuance was left. Li Shen sighed and said

"Hey, Xuance, do you think we can succeed?"
