I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

The scholar in Fengchao cried to Yin Xuan with snot and tears.

I have had such a hard time during this time!

He couldn't eat well, and even for a week, he could only gnaw on a few pieces of dry horse meat, and his cheeks were swollen from chewing.

I can't sleep well, so I can only pitch a tent in the wilderness. There are many mosquitoes, and wild wolves and foxes often call in my ears. Every night, I feel frightened. occur.

If things are done, he will suffer all these hardships.

But things didn't work out, the mine was found, the mine started to be built, and then... was smashed by the soldiers of Ning Yuan Kingdom, all the hard work in January was wasted.

He cried so much, especially after knowing that he was the only one who failed, he cried even worse. Everyone set out on the same conditions, and in the end he lost.

Shame on me!

Yin Xuan is not in a hurry. It is good news that six of the seven countries are evolving smoothly according to the original plan. It is reasonable that only one of them has an accident.

To appease this big man, Yin Xuan didn't take immediate action.

This…

The matter of making money is up to you, and now it's your turn to hit people, so naturally the hitters should come forward.

After two rests, Li Shimin came to the restaurant with a tired face.

Near the end of the year, things in the court gradually became busy, and he, the emperor, was the most tiring. He had to mediate and decide on quarrels between various departments, large and small.

"Yo, do you know you're here?" Yin Xuan looked at him lying on the table as soon as he walked in, waving at Gun Gun, as if he was about to take off his shoes and put his feet into Gun Gun's arms.

Gun Gun turned his head in disgust, and pointed his butt at him.

The first time, Gun Gun didn't know Li Shimin's routine, so he went over there foolishly, and acted as a foot cover for Li Shimin for a long time.

When returning home at night, Yin Lulu forced it to take a bath three times, and the hair on its stomach was almost bald.

The second time, Gun Gun hesitated, but still walked over under the temptation of Li Zi.

That night, Yin Lulu wished she could change her rolling stomach.

Now Gun Gun has learned to be smart, and knows that this little old man is uneasy and kind, and must not get too close to him, otherwise he will definitely be tricked by him.

Li Shimin laughed, and under Yin Xuan's sharp knife-like gaze, he put on the shoes that he had secretly taken off, and sighed by the way.

What a good mat and a foot warmer, what a pity...

"I've been really busy during this time." Li Shimin lay on the table, flipping through the menu boredly, thinking about what to eat today.

Yin Xuan waved his hand at him: "Let me tell you something."

Li Shimin tilted his head and looked at Yin Xuan in surprise.

It's really strange... I always rush to ask Yin Xuan questions by myself, but now I can finally hold Yin Xuan and ask myself something?

"Didn't I borrow a sum of money to foreign businessmen, sell them machines, let them go to mine, and do some mineral resource transactions." Yin Xuan opened his mouth and gave a summary of the previous situation.

Li Shimin nodded.

There is no fanfare about this matter, but it is not secreted either. Those who are interested can know what they want to know, and those who have no intentions can ignore it even if others tell him about it, and forget it in a blink of an eye.

Li Shimin belongs to the caring people among the caring people.

He can almost be said to be the first to know the news.

Datang also used a wave of benefits, and signed a contract with these merchants, and by the way... also used this excuse to severely suppress a wave of prices.

"Seven people, seven countries." Yin Xuan raised his palm, put his thumb, index finger, and middle finger together, and made a gesture of seven, "Six countries have been made."

"There is only one country where the merchant was killed, my people were also driven out by them, the machine was destroyed by me, and my bank got an extra bad debt."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and became surprised: "Which country dares to not sell your face like this."

"Ning Yuan." Yin Xuan announced his name.

Li Shimin thought for a while, and remembered where this small country was, and what kind of small country it was, his eyes lit up: "Is it Ning Yuan who produces Dawan horses?"

Li Shimin is a person who especially loves horses.

Empress Changsun is his eldest wife, and the horses he raises are his second wives. As for the concubines in the harem?That is far inferior to the status of a horse.

"It is it." Yin Xuan nodded, only spit out these two words, without saying a word of extraneous words.

Li Shimin thought about it.

Of course he understands why Yin Xuan suddenly said these things to him, the reason is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is that this Lord Zhengyang needs a thug.

But should Datang send troops...

Yin Xuan can make profits to frighten those countries, and then let more merchants come to him to borrow money and dig mines. Correspondingly, Datang can also benefit from it.

This is a good thing.

But... In this way, wouldn't it make it more obvious that Datang lived for Duke Zhengyang?

Although in the eyes of outsiders, this is indeed the case, Datang dotes on Zhengyang Gong, and he is about to go to heaven.But the two previous so-called dispatches of troops for Duke Zhengyang...

That time in Kucha was to test things like muskets.

That time in Goguryeo...he wanted to fight in the first place.

It was just a joke, but the folks took it seriously - Li Shimin also hoped that this kind of remarks could wash away the seriousness after the war, so he did not strictly control it.

This time the situation is different. As the saying goes, there are only three things.

Although the foreigners have concerns, the people of Tang Dynasty are only at the stage of joking, and occasionally they will make fun of it before and after tea and dinner.

We all know that Duke Zhengyang is very special to Datang, but... no one is so stupid that if Duke Zhengyang makes a move, the entire Tang Dynasty and the entire imperial court will be affected by it.

If I agree...

Doesn't that mean it's confirmed?At that time, the court will be passive instead.

Li Shimin thought about it for a long time. He was very attracted to Ningyuan Country, wishing that the country famous for its horses would now become his back garden.

But he couldn't agree rashly.

"There is no justifiable reason for the imperial court, I'm afraid it's not easy to send troops." Li Shimin was silent, and gave such a sentence.

Yin Xuan was not surprised. If Li Shimin agreed, he would feel that the court really spoiled him too much.

He opened his mouth and was about to speak his mind.

As soon as Li Shimin opened his mouth, the topic changed: "However... I can give you an idea, should you listen or not?"

Yin Xuan closed his mouth and nodded.

"Although the imperial court cannot formally send troops...but the imperial court can borrow your troops, why don't you borrow Xue Rengui from the imperial court and send troops to Ningyuan Kingdom?"

After speaking, Li Shimin paused, and looked over with a half-smile.

"Don't say, the group of people under your hands haven't practiced yet."
