Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Li Ji's face was dark: "What? I forgot what I said when I was drinking last night. The two of us are like brothers. You are my brother and I am your elder brother..."

Chen Chu: "Is there such a thing?"

Beside, the servant reminded: "Yes, the boss was drunk at the time."

Chen Chu: "..."

Depend on!

It seems that I can't drink indiscriminately in the future.

Unexpectedly, being cheated by Lao Li, he became a brother.

"Ahem," Chen Chu said with an embarrassed face, "Brother, brother, why are you so anxious to see me?"

Li Ji leaned in front of Chen Chu, and said in a dark and serious tone: "Something happened in Tubo, Songtsan Gampo and others already knew about the sale of your Western Datang Company, and the recovery of your Pingxi Earl and fief. Now, the cotton has already started to be harvested, but the West Datang Company has not sent anyone to deliver the goods for a long time. Everyone in Tubo said that the West Datang Company breached the contract and wanted you to lose money. For this matter, Songtsan Gampo sent left Prime Minister Menduo, Menduo arrived in Shanzhou yesterday, and he is coming to visit you today. It is true that the visit is on personal leave, and it is true that you have asked the teacher for your crimes. What are your countermeasures?"

Li Ji looked anxious anyway.

In fact, this is Chen Chu's business, no matter how bad it is, it is also the business of the Western Datang Company, Chen Chu should be anxious, it is King Qi and Chang Sun Chong.

Li Ji did not own any shares in West Datang Company.

However, the current Li family has already tied up their interests with the West Datang Company.

The Li family has flourished in Shanzhou, and even in the entire Western Regions. From the handling brigade at the beginning of the period to the later storage and distribution of goods, they are all inextricably linked with the Western Datang Company.Li Ji analyzed it himself. Once the West Datang Company collapsed, the Li family would also be finished.

Therefore, he is more anxious than anyone else now.

Chen Chu said with a smile: "Brother, it's okay, now, the West Datang Company is owned by me."

Li Ji smiled bitterly: "Of course I know about this, but your title and fief have not returned, and the cotton, coal mines, and salt mines of the West Datang Company are gone. Otherwise, why are Menduo and others so anxious .”

Before the words were finished, a servant ran in and said loudly: "Boss, there is an old man outside who claims to be Prime Minister Zuo of Tubo, and he said he has something important to call on you. That guy looks like a liar, why don't you let me Go and send him away!"

Li Ji: "..."

Chen Chu hurriedly said, "It's okay, let him in."

There are many liars who visit Chen Chu every day.

However, there should be no one pretending to be the Prime Minister Zuo of Tubo.

Sure enough, not long after, the servants led an old man in Hanfu in.

It was Tubo Zuo Prime Minister, Men Duo, who had met Chen Chu in Shanzhou before.

Men Duo's eyes were red when he saw Chen Chu, as if seeing a long-lost relative.

He rushed forward and grabbed Chen Chu's sleeve excitedly, "Oh, Ping Xibo, I finally saw you..."

Chen Chu waved his hand: "Prime Minister Menduo came to see me, I'm really touched, please sit down, I'll have someone call Angsi here, you two, grandpa and grandson, have not seen each other for a long time, you must have a lot to say, Let me tell you about the past first, Shanzhou is my elder brother's territory, I will trouble him to prepare wine and good food for Prime Minister Menduo."

After Prime Minister Mendo took his seat, he greeted Li Ji, and then shook his head: "Ping Xibo, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry to meet my granddaughter Angsi, but there is one thing that I must tell you."

Chen Chu also sat down, pretending to be confused and asking, "I don't know what's going on?"

Mendo sighed, and then said: "Ping Xibo, back then, Zanpu and you cooperated in planting cotton. Now, the whole of Tubo is full of cotton. It seems that it's time to harvest, but I heard that your West Datang Company has released In an accident, your title and fief of Xibo Ping have also been taken back, is this true?"

As he spoke, Mendo looked at Chen Chu eagerly.

How he wished Chen Chu would shake his head and deny it.

Today, Chen Chu's Western Datang Company is the economic pillar of Tubo.

Tubo can make money through the West Datang Company, and then use the money to buy grain, refined salt, and iron, which just makes up for the lack of Tubo.

But now, this trade cannot continue.

……

……

Chapter 409

Unfortunately, what he waited for was not Chen Chu's denial.

Chen Chu nodded and said, "Prime Minister Menduo, what you heard is true."

It was obvious that Mendo's pupils dilated after hearing this.

Even if he was mentally prepared before he came, it was another feeling to hear Chen Chu say it with his own ears.

Immediately, Mendo asked anxiously: "So, the trade between the Western Datang Company and Tubo can only end?"

Chen Chu laughed, and said, "Prime Minister Mendo, I know what you are worried about, and I even know what your purpose is here. If I guessed correctly, your Zanpu Songtsan Gampo asked you to come to Shanzhou , Do you want to ask for compensation?"

Mendo showed a bit of bitterness, and said: "Ping Xibo, we are friends, and you also accepted my granddaughter. Originally, I didn't want to see this day, but, Zanpu, and I, Tubo , Now it’s all cotton. If the trade with Xidatang Company is broken, according to the original agreement, you will breach the contract. According to what you have always said, the most important thing in doing business is to be honest. If you breach the contract, you will naturally have The compensation, as for the compensation, Zanpu said, there is no need for Kaiyuan Tongbao, just a batch of high-quality iron and salt. Neither salt nor salt are the best, but Pingxibo must have a solution, right?"

When Chen Chu heard this, he remained calm on the surface.

But there was a sneer in my heart.

Sure enough, Songtsan Gampo still wants to rise.

In fact, in the original history, Tubo under the leadership of Songtsan Gampo has always been very strong.

It even brought a lot of disasters to Datang, and took the initiative to capture many cities and lands in Datang.

In other words, it's an ambitious zamp.

Unfortunately, he met Chen Chu.

Chen Chu stood up abruptly, his face suddenly became serious, and said, "Prime Minister Menduo, you don't need to say any more. Originally, I thought I had so many business contacts with your Zanpu, and the two sides had established an indestructible trust. Thinking about it, now that I have encountered some difficulties, your Zanpu can't wait to bring up the matter of breach of contract compensation. Although this matter is understandable, it really chills my heart..."

Mendo was at a loss for a while, and got up too.

He hastily explained: "Ping Xibo, Zanpu has nothing to do with it. Now, many shortcomings headed by Prime Minister Dona are forcing Zanpu..."

Chen Chu sneered: "You, Zanpu, hold the power of life and death in the entire Tubo. If you give an order, you dare not refuse. You even said that someone dared to force him. Isn't this nonsense?"

Mendo shook his head and said: "That's not the case. Zanpu has only succeeded to the throne for a few years, and he has not completely controlled all the shortcomings of Tubo. Originally, many tribes did not obey orders. Now, even the most loyal Dona tribe, They have also begun to rebel. Now, the only one who is still loyal is our Menduo tribe. The other tribes are full of ghosts... Before I came, I even found out that many tribes secretly sold slaves to Shan State, in exchange for silk, spirits, and tea, I haven't had time to tell Zanpu about this matter."

When Mendo finished speaking, Chen Chu waved his hand: "Okay, Prime Minister Mendo, I'm not interested in your Tubo affairs. I'm a businessman, and I'm only interested in profit."

Mendo quickly stopped talking.

On the side, General Li Ji was dumbfounded.

Talent!

What Cai Menduo said just now is definitely the top secret of Tubo.

Even the spies sent by Li Ji haven't found out yet.

Because the Dona tribe rebelled, and many tribes were disobedient. Tubo will not expose such things, especially Songtsan Gampo, who absolutely does not allow news to leak out.

In fact, on the surface, Tubo is also peaceful, and there is nothing unusual about it.

But now, it was all revealed by Menduo.

Li Ji stared at Chen Chu, thinking, this kid definitely did it on purpose.

Mendo didn't know it.

Because he was more concerned about Chen Chu's attitude now.

I saw Chen Chu turn around and said: "Prime Minister Menduo, you go back and tell Zanpu that although I, Chen Chu, are very sad, there is still the most basic integrity of a businessman, and the trade between the Western Datang Company and Tubo is absolutely not It will be interrupted, because just before your arrival, the West Datang Company has already returned to me, Chen Chu. As for the matter of cotton, after you go back, just tell everyone to harvest quickly. One month later, I, Chen Chu, will come in person Let some cities buy cotton."

Mendo couldn't believe it: "Is what you said true? But now people are saying everywhere that the West Datang Company is already late and has no money."

Chen Chu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether the West Datang Company has money or not. The important thing is that I, Chen Chu, have money. I will come and prepare carriages and horses. I will take Prime Minister Mendo to the Shanzhou branch of the West Datang Company. Take a good look around."

"visit?"

"Yes, visit!"

Chen Chu didn't explain, and directly led Menduo, together with Li Ji, to the Shanzhou Branch of Western Datang Company in a carriage.

In Shanzhou City, there are two special places.

One is the General's Mansion.

One is where the branch of the West Datang Company is located.

The former is heavily guarded and of great significance.

The latter is the root of Shanzhou's prosperity.

Qi Wang Li Tai had already received the news, and brought his eldest son Chong to the door to meet Chen Chu in person.

After everyone met and said hello.

Chen Chudao: "Qingque, take us to the money bank."

Li Tai was taken aback: "What's so interesting about the money bank? It's full of moldy Kaiyuan Tongbao, and there's a lot of gold and silver."

Li Ji was speechless.

You are bragging too much.

Even a powerful man like Wu Xing Qiwang wouldn't dare to say that the money in his treasury was moldy, would he?

too exaggerated!

But Chen Chu waved his hand: "It's okay, let's take Prime Minister Menduo to have a look, it's not easy for him to come all the way."

Mendo seemed to understand Chen Chu's intentions.

Didn't Chen Chu just want me to see that the West Datang Company is not short of money?

Well, I have to see it with my own eyes.

So he couldn't wait to say: "That's right, that's right, Ping Xibo is right, I just happened to visit."

Li Tai immediately asked someone to bring the key, and then led a group of people to the depths of the branch.

Soon, they came to a towering building like a tower.

Menduo was surprised: "This money bank is too big, isn't it? The whole building is full of Kaiyuan Tongbao?"

Li Tai glanced at the door with disdain, and then opened the door with the key.

Walking in, it is a spacious hall.

The hall is not flat, but has a series of steps extending to the bottom.

Taking out the torches, everyone held the torches and walked down the steps.

When they came underground, Mendo suddenly understood why Li Tai had to look at him with disdain just now.

Under the building, there is actually a very wide and flat huge pool.

In the pool, as far as the eye can see, there are Kaiyuan Tongbao, and there are countless gold, silver, etc. around.

In other words, all that is visible to the naked eye is money.

……

……

Chapter 410 It's All Chen Chu's Idea

Qi Wang Li Tai was right, the money in the treasury had indeed started to go moldy.

This is a sea of ​​money!

It took Mendo a long time to come back to his senses, and asked in a daze: "Ping Xibo, I wonder how much money is in this bank?"

Before Chen Chu opened his mouth, he heard Li Tai say, "There are too many, I haven't counted them, let alone five million."

500 guan?

God!

In my whole Tubo, I don’t have so much money when I add up the pot and sell the iron.

Mendo felt that his life was in vain.

The abolished Ping Xibo in the Tang Dynasty had already surpassed Tubo in wealth.

If Zanpu knew the news, he would definitely feel inferior.

Mendo couldn't help but asked again: "So much money, is it all from the West Datang Company?"
