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

Li Shen's goal was very clear. He could not only conquer the Three Kingdoms without spending a single soldier, but also make a lot of money.

Especially the most powerful country in the universe must be made to disappear from the world.

After Wang Xuance left, Li Shen lay on the recliner in the study and began to think about future strategies. The three northern kingdoms adopted a food campaign.

Let them get into chaos because they have no food, and Tubo cannot do it. Li Shen is now using economic sanctions commonly used by later imperialists.

An embargo was imposed on Tubo. Due to its geographical environment, Tubo was not rich in products, but their gold and fruits were still popular.

Li Shen's plan was to turn Tubo into a cotton growing area. There are also fruits that can be used to make wine.

Therefore, it is crucial to completely blockade Tibet.

In the Cui family mansion in Chang'an, the aristocratic family gathered here again, as well as the Tibetan envoy and deputy prime minister Sangyang Dunni.

Sangyang Dunni went to the palace to pay homage to Li Shimin once, hoping that Li Shimin would release Gar Chizheng Tsandro. Tubo was willing to exchange wealth for Gar Chizheng Tsandro and the captured soldiers.

Li Shimin decisively refused, saying that it was captured by King Ji Li Shen and the ownership belonged to Li Shen.

But Li Shen didn't see him at all.

And there was urgent news from Tibet that there was a shortage of food, salt, and cloth. The merchants of the Tang Dynasty did not sell them goods or buy their furs and other commodities.

Let them figure it out.

"Everyone, I, Tubo, have cooperated with all your families for many years. Now we are in urgent need of food, salt, cloth, and iron." Sangyang Dunye said.

"Deputy Prime Minister, this is all easy to say, but the price may have to be increased by [-]%. You should also know that border inspections are strict now, and we have to increase the number of things we manage." Cui Renzhi said with a smile. Of course, his family cannot let go of profitable transactions.

"The price is not an issue, but can you ship it to us? I heard that King Ji has told the merchants not to do business with me, Tubo."

"Huh ~ Prince Ji? Deputy Prime Minister, he, Prince Ji, cannot represent the Tang Dynasty. If the court has not spoken, it is his personal behavior.

Moreover, we have not always used official channels. He can't control us either. " Cui Renzhi sneered after hearing this. They have been taking smuggling routes for so many years. How else would they transport iron.

A prince with no real power, you won’t sell it if you say you won’t? Why?

"That's good, you will always be our friends in Tubo." Sangyang Dunni saluted, and then continued to do so.

"I have one more thing to ask for your help. Our prime minister's son, Gar Trizheng Tsandra, has been captured. Now his life or death is uncertain. When Zamp comes, he asked me to rescue Gar Trizheng Tsandra. I don't know. If you can help me, I will thank you greatly when the matter is completed."

"Deputy Prime Minister, this matter may not be easy to handle. Even we don't know where Gar Chizheng Tsandra is. We can only guess that it is in the hands of King Ji." Zheng Jingsi replied

"No matter what, we must rescue the prime minister's son. After all, you gave us the news, but you didn't tell us that their fighting power is so strong.

We in Tubo lost [-] warriors in vain, and you need to take responsibility for this. "

Sangyang Dunie's attitude was very tough. People in the Tang Dynasty were afraid of the aristocratic family, but Fanbang didn't care what you were.

"You..." Zheng Jingsi was speechless with anger.

"Deputy Prime Minister, we have been cooperating for many years. Your attitude makes us very worried about future cooperation. I need to consider whether to cooperate with you." Cui Renzhi said with squinted eyes.

"Hahahaha, Cui Yushi, are you threatening the truth? Your family has been transporting prohibited items to Tibet for many years, and it must have made a lot of money.

You said what would happen to you if we reported this matter to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Don't think that we don't know your current situation.

Now the Tang Dynasty is slowly changing, slowly eroding you with a trend that you cannot stop.

Now you can only have a chance to continue the inheritance by cooperating with us, otherwise you will decline in a hundred years. "Sangyang Donne is not a mediocre person, he is also collecting information from all parties these days.

The foundation of aristocratic families is firstly scholars and secondly wealth. Now Datang has begun to build schools. Next year there will be three schools, and the year after that there may be five schools. In ten or twenty years, when everyone in the world is literate, aristocratic families will not have an advantage.

As for wealth, because of Li Shen, the various industries of the family were shrinking little by little. Sangyang Dunie believed that King Ji would not stop expanding, and he would impact all the industries of the family.

Sangyang Dunie's words silenced all the representatives of the aristocratic families present.

The situation that the aristocratic family is facing now is like boiling a toad in warm water. If you encounter the aristocratic family head-on, you really won't be afraid.

But from the perspective of justice, Li Shen's erosion bit by bit is terrible. Colleges have been established in more than 200 states in three countries,

There is nothing they can do to stop it. Aristocratic families also need reputation. If everyone in the world scolds them, then they are not a noble family.

The most important factor here is Li Shen, because he is so rich that he can support all the expenses.

Even if it were someone else's idea, it would be useless because you wouldn't be able to build it.

"Deputy Prime Minister, we will do our best to rescue Gar Chizheng Tsandra, but you should know that there are many difficulties."

"This is easy to say, as long as you do your best, I am also discussing this matter with your Emperor.

The first thing now is to transport food, salt, and cloth to keep out the cold as soon as possible. This is our Zamp's order. "

"Don't worry, Vice Minister. We have warehouses at the border. We will send our horses to inform them. I believe that the first batch of goods will cross the border in seven or eight days. By then, transactions will still be carried out at the same place." Finally, representative Cui Inzhi said Everyone agreed to the deal.

Little did they know that there was someone waiting for them at the border.

"My lord, my lord."

Li Shen was playing mahjong with several maids. Li Shen did not play, but sent Lu Dingniang as the representative. It was almost Yuanzheng, it had just snowed in the past two days, and it was relatively cold outside.

So Li Shen could only play in the room where the earth dragon was burned. At this time, the sound of stones came from outside.

"What's the matter?" Li Shen opened the door and asked.

"Your Majesty, Wang Changshi is here and says there is something important."

"Go and take him to my study. I'll be there soon."

Li Shen went back to the house and said something was wrong, and then ordered someone to change his clothes. These card players had no time to pay attention to her, so Lan Yu'er had to wait on her.

When Li Shen came to the study, Wang Xuance was already waiting.

"Xuan Ce, what important thing can happen in this cold weather? Has Goguryeo been destroyed?" Li Shen said jokingly.

Many things in the palace stopped in winter, except for business, so this was the time when Wang Xuance was at his most leisurely.

"Your Majesty, if Goguryeo is destroyed, who will sell our food to?"

Although it sounds cruel, it is really just using Goguryeo as a cash machine, fattening it and then killing it.

"Your Majesty, the fleet going to the south is back!"
