His Majesty Li Er was very curious about this. He stopped a farmer and asked, "What are you putting in this sack?"
"Sweet potatoes." The farmer answered honestly.
His Majesty Li Er continued to ask: "What are you going to do with so many sweet potatoes?"
The farmer said: "The young master said, let us take advantage of the current high price of sweet potatoes to transport them to Chang'an City and sell them to the noble master."
This is not bad. Now is the time when sweet potatoes are popular in Chang'an. If you sell them, you can definitely get a good price soon.
"Don't you want to eat it yourself?" Changsun Wuji asked.
"Young master won't let you eat it."
The farmer said: "The young master said that eating too many sweet potatoes will make you fat, which is bad for your health."
"It's better to let the noble men eat. Let's change the rice."
Hearing this, the three of them were immediately speechless.
Su Chen really couldn't stop writing, and within two days of coming back, he started doing things again.
Changsun Wuji said as he walked: "Your Majesty, I feel that with Su Chen's temperament, even if there is a good way to capture Goguryeo, I'm afraid he won't say it easily."
On the side, Wei Zheng nodded repeatedly, especially what Su Chen said about selling sweet potatoes just now gave him a bad feeling.
"Do not worry."
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said: "I heard from Li Junxian that that little bastard Su Chen also dislikes Goguryeo. I guess it's easy to find a way."
As they talked, several people came to Su Chen's house.
"Hey, Lao Li, Lao Sun, Lao Wei, why are you here?!"
After seeing the three people arriving, Su Chen was very happy and greeted him enthusiastically, saying, "We haven't seen each other for a while. Is Wei's health okay?"
"It's nothing serious." Wei Zheng smiled and nodded.
"Lao Li, look, are you taking good care of your daughter and son?"
Su Chen continued: "I definitely gave them delicious food and drinks along the way, and I didn't suffer at all!"
Upon hearing his words, His Majesty Li Er's face suddenly darkened.
Prince Li Chengqian is ordered by you to farm every day, and the sun is almost as good as coal!
You call this not suffering at all?!
Su Chen didn't notice the unkind look on His Majesty Li Er's face and continued: "Why do you want to come here today?"
"I heard that you are back, so naturally I want to come and visit." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.
"Okay, let's have a good time together today!"
Su Chen waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's have beef hot pot for lunch!"
Hearing these familiar words, the three of them laughed at the same time!
After entering the hall, His Majesty Li Er said directly: "Where did you come from, Dragon Bone? My son has already sued me. Didn't you cheat His Majesty a lot of money just a few months ago? Why so quickly?
here we go again?"
Su Chen waved his hand and said casually: "Old Li, I don't like hearing what you say anymore. Do you call this a trap?"
"Look, except for a few of us, who dares to say that this dragon bone is fake?"
"When Li Er saw that dragon vein, he might even laugh from ear to ear!"
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er suddenly felt angry. He was about to refute it, but Su Chen continued: "Besides, I want this money, it will be of great use!"
"When you came here last time, didn't you say that Li Er planned to conquer Goguryeo?"
"So, I'm going to help him!"
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er's eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't even care about getting angry. He hurriedly asked: "How do you say this?"
"Because I want to make a new type of weapon!"
Su Chen continued: "With it, Goguryeo can definitely be completely wiped out!"
"What new weapon is so powerful?!" His Majesty Li Er asked.
"This thing hasn't been built yet!"
Su Chen took a sip of tea and said, "But the power of the weapon is very scary!"
"After it is built, I will sell it directly to Li Er to help him in his Eastern Expedition!"
Hearing Su Chen say that he wanted to sell the weapon to him, the smile on His Majesty Li Er's face froze in an instant.
What does selling to me mean?!
It seems I gave you all the money, right?!
You actually want to sell it to me?!
Are you addicted to cheating me?!
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was really angry. He was about to get angry at Su Chen, but Changsun Wuji took a step ahead and suppressed his anger.
"What's so different about your new weapon that makes you so confident?"
"Do you still remember the time when Li Er gave me the elixir?" Su Chen asked.
"Of course, but what does this have to do with new weapons?" Changsun Wuji asked doubtfully.
"Remember what I demonstrated to you, mixing sawdust and sulfur together and then lighting it on fire, right?"
Su Chen explained: "My new weapon was designed based on that thing!"
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er's face changed and he was full of shock!
He had always been obsessed with that sulfur thing.
As an emperor who was born as a commander, he knew how useful such a destructive thing would be on the battlefield!
It turns out that the new weapon he was talking about was made of this?!
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er couldn't sit still at all. He didn't want to be angry anymore and hurriedly asked: "How powerful is that weapon?"
"Crack the mountains and crack the earth, and everything is invincible!"
Just eight short words instantly ignited His Majesty Li Er's heart, causing him to ask eagerly: "Is there really such a divine thing?!"
At this time, his heart was extremely hot!
If it is true as Su Chen said, then Goguryeo's terrain advantage will be completely gone!
Once they lose their terrain advantage, aren't they just like fish on a sticky plate, ready to be slaughtered by others?!
As soon as he thought of this, His Majesty Li Er continued to ask: "I didn't expect that you are quite good at hiding it. You can even build this kind of artifact. How much do you plan to sell it to His Majesty?"
Now, even if Su Chen kills him with a knife, Li Er will still be dead!
Compared with annihilating Goguryeo, is money still a problem?!
Seeing His Majesty Li Er like this, Changsun Wuji became anxious.
With Su Chen's bottomless pit appetite, is it possible to ask for less?
Didn’t the money scam start with a million dollars?
He had just taken away 50% of the treasury in the front, and a new weapon came in the back. Who could withstand this?!
So, he quickly tugged on His Majesty Li Er's sleeve, then turned to Su Chen and said, "Young man, I'm afraid you won't make much money this time."
"Even if this weapon is so powerful, you can't sell it to the current Saint."
"In the Tang Dynasty, it was strictly prohibited for civilians to make weapons privately. The weapons in the national treasury and government treasury were made by craftsmen and specially established manufacturing institutions by local prefectures and counties at all levels."
"And, as far as I know, the number of weapons that prefectures and counties are allowed to build each year is also extremely strict."
