I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

"Prince Qi, Wang Changshi, Shopkeeper Wang and General Xue have arrived and are waiting outside."

A eunuch's announcement came from outside, interrupting Li Shen's melancholy.

"Well, let them all come in."

Li Shen stretched and then stood up.

"See you, Your Majesty."

"Well, everyone, sit down."

After Li Shen stretched his muscles, he lay back on the couch again.

"Your Majesty called us here in such a hurry. I wonder if something happened?" Wang Xuance asked.

"There is indeed something. Silla envoy Jin Chunqiu and his son King Jinwen have just arrived."

Li Shen nodded and said.

"Shitou, tell the three of them what just happened."

Li Shen told the person next to him that he had talked enough today, and of course he couldn't do such rough work by himself.

Shitou immediately stepped forward after receiving the order, and completely repeated what Jin Chunqiu said after arriving at the palace and what the prince said.

Li Shen was also quite satisfied after hearing it. It was almost word for word, and every detail was described in place, making the three of them immersed in the scene.

Even the matter of Li Shen teasing the dog was made clear.

This made Li Shen admire the stone's memory, and thought to himself: Doesn't it mean that the memory is so good after it is cut? The same is true for Wang De's old lamp.

After listening, the three people began to think about its meaning.

Wang Xuance needs to consider whether there are any loopholes in what Li Shen said, and analyze the feasibility of what Li Shen said from an overall perspective.

What Wang Hongfu was thinking about was how much benefit the palace could get from it, and what preparations he needed to make.

Xue Rengui was more direct. He was thinking about the team sent to Silla to deliver goods, how many guards the palace needed to dispatch, and what level of protection it needed.

Li Shen did not rush, and let his subordinates understand it on their own first. It would be better if they understood it. If they had questions, he would explain it later, which would make it easier to understand.

If there are any flaws, it is best for everyone to discuss and improve them together.

After a while, Wang Xuance spoke first:

"My lord, I'm afraid this won't be easy to do. It was because we used food that the Tang Dynasty took advantage of Goguryeo and nearly destroyed the country.

Baekje must have gotten the message and will not give in easily. "

“Well, your consideration is very good. This is also one of the things I want you to do. Silla’s execution plan may not be flexible.

So you need our secret help. You can send people to Baekje to bribe their officials. Don't be afraid of spending money.

There are also local wealthy families who promise huge profits to let them grow soybeans, even if they are three or four times the amount of food.

At the same time, I will go to the palace and tell His Majesty to withdraw the five thousand troops stationed in Baekje first.

The key point is their local wealthy families. They control the government just like the aristocratic families. As long as they see the benefits, they will not think about the future. "

Li Shen firmly believed in this. The wealthy families in feudal society were no different from capitalists, except for family interests.

Wang Xuance nodded after hearing this. As long as he was willing to spend money, he would not give in if he didn't believe it. The prince said that everyone has a value in their heart.

Rejecting you is not because of how upright and upright he is, but because the price you offered is not enough.

"Okay, since everyone has no objections, I will now start assigning tasks."

Li Shen sat up straight and said to the three of them.

"The first Wang Hongfu, you are responsible for the transportation of soybean seeds and copper coins. Remember that as long as they plant soybeans,

So if they want money, give them money, and if they want food, give them food.

Even if they want to buy grain in Baekje, the price should not be too high. The lower the better, even if they lose one or two cents per bucket,

The palace can also afford the compensation.

It is not easy for the people to eat some food. We cannot make the people of Baekje unable to buy food. We are kind people. "

"It's the prince." Wang Hongfu immediately stood up and interrupted Li Shen's speech in which he continued to praise himself.

"Remember to be quick, just use old grain, don't delay soybean planting." Li Shen added, and then looked at Wang Xuance.

"Xuance, what you need to do is send people to Baekje to lobby the major wealthy families and sell them grain at very low prices to make them feel at ease.

And spread rumors everywhere that you can make a lot of money by growing soybeans, which is more cost-effective than growing grains.

Buy more people from Baekje to do it. Those ruffians are very good at this. "

This is Li Shen's second trick, rumors and public opinion. He knew the importance of this.

In later generations, public opinion can destroy a person, a family, a company, an enterprise, or even a country.

"I accept the order." Wang Xuance stood up and accepted the order.

Li Shen then said to Xue Rengui:

"Rengui, arrange for manpower to be responsible for transporting supplies to Silla. Don't move our people and recruit veterans who have retired from the guard camp.

Give them the same salary.

Remember to fly your own Sea King flag after going to sea, not the Tang Dynasty flag. "

Most members of the pirate group don't know that they work for Prince Ji's Mansion. In order to avoid hurting each other, Li Shen has a Neptune flag of his own.

"Yes, I accept your order."

Xue Rengui also stood up and accepted the order. Although Prince Ji's Mansion was equipped with three thousand guard battalions, Prince Ji's Mansion was not a military force.

Li Shen adopted a recruitment system, which was replaced every five years.

There have been many retired guards from the guard camp over the years. They have also saved a lot of money over the years. Some of them started small businesses after returning home.

Some are working as farmers at home and living a very prosperous life.

They are always waiting for the call from Prince Ji's Mansion, so the actual number of troops that Prince Ji's Mansion can mobilize is at least 8,000.

After five years of ideological brainwashing and education, these people are still very loyal to Prince Ji's Mansion. They are the food towns under Prince Ji's Mansion, and they eat at Prince Ji's Mansion.

"Okay, let's go get ready. Wang Hongfu, you have the most important task, so you must be fast. If you delay my important affairs, you will have your family property confiscated. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, yes, if it delays the prince's affairs, I will come and see you." Wang Hongfu agreed quickly.

"Well, let's all go. By the way, Xuance will stay. I have other things to do."

Li Shen waved his hand and lay down again.

After Wang Hongfu and Xue Rengui pushed out, Li Shen closed his eyes and said:

"Xuance, do you have anything to say? Do you have any questions about my king's plan?"

He had just noticed that Wang Xuance was hesitant to speak.

"Your Majesty, I have some questions, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to clarify them." Wang Xuance saluted.

"Oh, tell me." Li Shen kept his eyes open, he was a little overworked today.

"Prince Qi, this plan is an excellent one. If it is implemented well, we can join the game together with Silla.

The prince really shouldn't have spoken so clearly to the Silla envoy and pointed out the key to this plan.

It made Silla feel vigilant and loyal. Didn't the prince always want to get rid of the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla? "
