The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Guanyin, how are you these days?

Li Shimin came here after a busy day at the Zhengdian Hall.

He has not spoken to Queen Changsun for two days.

Because he was worried about Queen Changsun's health, he came over immediately after handling the political affairs.

Divine Doctor Sun has already examined me. It's nothing serious. She'll be fine after a few days of rest. Empress Changsun said softly, but her face was still pale.

Sun Simiao came over to see it.

But the situation of Queen Changsun was not good.

Compared with the last diagnosis and treatment, the situation at this time is much different.

Sun Simiao wanted to tell the emperor about this, but was stopped by Empress Changsun.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty was experiencing a troubled period. The earth dragon in Jinyang was overturned, and the city of Chang'an was suffering from a rain disaster and food shortage.

Empress Changsun didn't want to upset the emperor anymore.

Your Majesty, how is the price of food in Chang'an City?

Is there a solution? Queen Changsun looked at Li Shimin and asked carefully.

There have been heavy rains in Chang'an City these days, and food prices have risen a lot.

Queen Changsun also heard about the Lantian County grain depot, and she couldn't help but feel worried.

The situation is not bad. Zhao Chen and I came up with an idea so that the people of Chang'an City can survive this rain disaster.

But after the rain disaster, I may be called for debt collection! Li Shimin said slowly, looking a little worried.

He still hasn't figured out whether the method Zhao Chen told him ultimately tricked him, Li Shimin.

Twenty cents per dou of grain, one million shi.

That's a total of two hundred thousand guan.

Where did he, Li Shimin, come up with so much money?

This is really fatal.

Li Shimin now regrets that he should not have listened to Zhao Chen so easily. Now he is really riding a tiger.

What did your Majesty say? What did that child Zhao Chen say to Your Majesty? Queen Changsun was a little curious.

He wondered what Zhao Chen had done.

Let the people of Chang'an City be fine, but His Majesty is going to be called for debts?

\u003e

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun explained in detail what Zhao Chen said to him in the tavern today.

Over a cup of tea, Queen Changsun understood the cause and effect.

Guanyin Maid, tell me, am I the one who was tricked? Li Shimin asked with a bitter look on his face.

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Empress Changsun felt a little funny.

Why did your Majesty say this? Zhao Chen doesn't know your Majesty's identity, so how dare you harm your Majesty?

However, I feel that the one who took advantage of this battle over food should be Zhao Chen! Empress Changsun said to Li Shimin with a chuckle.

What do you mean by Guanyin? Li Shimin didn't understand.

How come Zhao Chen is the biggest beneficiary?

Your Majesty has forgotten that Zhao Chen purchased a total of 700,000 shi of grain a few days ago.

I heard that Li Ruoshuang even gave Zhao Chen her dowry!

The boys from Yi Guogong and Lu Guogong also stole a lot of money.

Your Majesty, do you think that Zhao Chen and the others are really doing this just for fun? Empress Changsun said with a chuckle.

Of course Li Shimin would not think that Zhao Chen and the others were buying food for fun.

only……

Hiss— Li Shimin suddenly took a breath of cold air.

The whole person suddenly stood up.

He suddenly thought of the reason why Zhao Chen had done so much and even asked him to go to Xingyang Zheng Family to buy grain.

How dare that little bastard set up a trap for me? Li Shimin's face showed anger.

Li Shimin understood.

Zhao Chen asked himself to buy grain from Qiwang of the Five Surnames at a price of twenty cents per dou.

Qi Wang, the fifth surname, will definitely agree.

If you don't take advantage of such a big advantage, wouldn't you be a fool?

In this way

, Zheng He and others will definitely go to Zhao Chen to buy the grain back.

Zhao Chen is in a position to make a lot of money.

Is this Zhao Chen's plan?

However, does Li Shimin need to pay for these twenty cents per dou of food?

Guanyin, I'm a little angry! Li Shimin said in a deep voice as he watched his eldest grandson change into queen.

How could he come up with 200,000 yuan to give to Zheng He?

Zhao Chen only cares about eating enough for himself and doesn't care about Li Shimin starving to death?

Your Majesty, don't jump to conclusions yet. Even if Zhao Chen wants to be angry with you, he doesn't dare to plan to become a pilgrim.

Since he said he would help His Majesty cheat you, he will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty. ??

Your Majesty, the fifth surname Qiwang didn't know about Zhao Chen, and will eventually blame your majesty for this matter. Does your majesty really intend to fall out with the fifth surname Qiwang? Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin with worry in her eyes.

The five surnames Qiwang controlled the politics of the Tang Dynasty for a long time.

Even the people's livelihood in Chang'an City is mostly controlled by them.

The royal family's dissatisfaction with them did not last for a day or two.

However, if he really wants to oppose the five surnames and Qi Wang, even the emperor will be in trouble!

I haven't thought about it yet. Li Shimin shook his head.

The five surnames and Qi Wang can only deal with it slowly. If they suddenly turn against each other, Li Shimin will not get much benefit even as the emperor.

By the way, Maid Guanyin, what do you think Mr. Zhao is planning to do with the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes?

I've thought about it from beginning to end, but I haven't thought of the slightest possibility.

I'm really worried that this little bastard will trick me in the end! Li Shimin looked at Queen Changsun and asked.

I don't know about this. I will ask Zhao Chen about the child later.

The most urgent thing for Your Majesty right now is to stabilize the price of food in Chang'an City. Otherwise, there may be chaos. Empress Changsun shook her head and advised again.

I know! Li Shimin nodded, with a trace of worry still on his face.

…

Zheng He returned to his house, and the other shopkeepers of several other stores were not leaving at this moment.

Although Zhao Chen took away 75% of the profits, they still made a lot of money, right?

Dong Zheng, you must keep the contract given by His Majesty the Emperor.

If this is lost, we will definitely be dead! Yu Zheng He, the shopkeeper, reminded.

Yes, Mr. Zheng's family, that contract is related to our lives. If we lose the contract and cannot get the money, we will be completely ruined!

Dong Zheng's family, why don't we hide the contract and lock it with six locks, and each of us can keep a key, so that it won't be lost.

The other people spoke one after another.

I hope Zheng He locks up the contract and they all keep a key.

In fact, they are just afraid that others will disturb the contract.

After all, this is 200,000 yuan.

If something really happened, the master would definitely behead them one by one.

I understand, come with me. Zheng He nodded, but did not refuse.

It's better to be careful about this matter.

Otherwise, if something happens, Zheng He won't be able to handle it alone.

Several people came to Zheng He's study. When Zheng He pulled the trigger, a secret door appeared in the study.

Zheng He moved forward and took out a box inside.

When he opened the box, he saw black and white writing inside, and a contract appeared in front of everyone.

How? Zheng He said with a look of joy on his face.

Okay, with this, we can make a lot of money this time!

What a shame that boy Zhao Chen has the support of several princes, otherwise...

Hmph, let's forget it this time, lock the contract, and after the rain stops, we will go to the Tai Chi Palace to get the money from the emperor!

You're right, Mr. Zheng's family, let's lock it up with the key!

Several people said one after another.

The key was already taken out in his hand.
