"Little friend Su, people are saying now that it is because the Holy One has lost his moral integrity in the world, so God has brought disasters. What do you think?"
After Changsun Wuji heard what Li Shimin said, his heart skipped a beat.
He knew that these rumors had long been a concern in Li Shimin's heart.
These days, Li Shimin has been deeply blaming himself for this.
For a moment, Changsun Wuji didn't know how to speak. He could only hope that Su Chen wouldn't talk nonsense.
"Extremely stupid!"
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, both of them, who were slightly drunk, were shocked.
"If it's true what they said, then why didn't such natural disasters happen in chaotic dynasties like the Sui Dynasty?" Su Chen said calmly after drinking another glass of wine.
"Natural disasters and man-made disasters are natural phenomena. How can they be changed because of one person's behavior?"
"Besides, everything has two sides. Who can be sure that this natural disaster will cause all the disadvantages and no benefits?!"
Although Su Chen was slightly drunk, what he said was not drunken gibberish.
"Little friend Su, how do you say this?"
After listening to Su Chen's words, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji also looked at him with confusion.
"Indeed, this heavy snow caused great disaster to Datang."
"But, have you ever thought that in such a huge natural disaster, only one Tang Dynasty would be affected?"
Hearing what Su Chen said, Li Shimin felt like he was enlightened and thought of many things in an instant!
"Do you mean that the countries around Datang have also been affected by this natural disaster?!"
Li Shimin had led troops in wars for so many years, so he naturally knew the importance of the weather in a war, and he immediately said with bright eyes: "So, this is the best time for the Tang Dynasty to attack other countries!"
"Just like the Eastern Turks!"
"Well, not bad!" Su Chen nodded slightly.
On the side, Changsun Wuji was so frightened that he sobered up after hearing what Li Er said.
Based on his friendship with Li Er since childhood, he naturally knew what Li Er wanted to do!
He wants to attack the Eastern Turks!
After the Weishui Alliance, the Eastern Turks had already become his obsession!
"But with the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty, how could it possibly send troops to attack other countries?"
"If this is done, the entire Tang Dynasty will definitely be unable to bear it."
Changsun Wuji quickly spoke, hoping to put an end to Li Er's thoughts.
After speaking, Changsun Wuji secretly glanced at Li Er and saw that Li Er's expression had indeed changed, as if he had given up the idea of attacking the East Turks.
"Tsk, if you don't even have this kind of courage, how can you be an emperor?" Su Chen said easily.
"Today's East Turks may not even have imagined that the snow could be so heavy this time!"
"If it were in the past, maybe the auspicious snow would really herald a good year."
"As for the current situation, their grain and livestock must have suffered great damage. Their life will not be easier than that of the Tang Dynasty!"
Su Chen slowly took a bite of beef, and then said: "If you don't wait now, then when! This is a God-given opportunity!"
"If we get it right, won't the Eastern Turks be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty from now on?!"
After Su Chen finished speaking, Li Shimin felt that the blood in his heart seemed to be burning again!
"aweason!"
Li Shimin was so excited that he almost wanted to slam the table, but was stopped by Changsun Wuji.
"Yes, what you said is indeed true, but it must also be based on reality."
Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You have also seen the situation in Guanzhong now. So many people are displaced and have no food to eat. How can there be enough food left to support a war? You are just talking on paper!"
Hearing this, Li Er, who was originally excited, gradually calmed down.
His majesty, the emperor, knows very well what the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is now.
"Ah!"
Su Chen looked at Li Er and Changsun Wuji with an inexplicable smile, shook his head and said, "Aren't you two businessmen? Don't you know the news?"
"What news?!" Li Shimin asked hurriedly.
"You two, businessmen must be well-informed, otherwise you will suffer big losses!" Su Chen, under the influence of alcohol, taught Li Er and Changsun Wuji a lesson.
"I don't blame you. After all, Chang'an City is not your home ground. It's normal that you don't know some information."
"But yes, if you could buy food in Guanzhong, you wouldn't come to my farm."
"I estimate that more than 80% of the food in Guanzhong is now controlled by those aristocratic families!"
Su Chen's words were like a bolt from the blue, completely pulling them back from their drunken state!
"How is that possible!" Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji almost exclaimed in unison.
"Even if the family has stockpiled food, why haven't they taken action now that the disaster has lasted for so long?"
Changsun Wuji didn't believe it. Suddenly, a heavy suspicion emerged in his mind.
"Unless...unless..."
"Unless they want to maximize their true interests!" Su Chen directly expressed Changsun Wuji's conjecture.
"It is said that there is no business without treachery. This sentence is particularly appropriate when applied to those aristocratic families!"
"The reason why they don't take action is simply because they think the current food prices are not high enough!"
"When a price appears in the world that they are satisfied with, you will find that Guanzhong is not so short of food, but the price is too prohibitive."
After saying that, Su Chen stopped talking and poured himself another glass of wine.
But after listening to his words, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji on the side were no longer in the mood to eat or drink.
boom!
This time, Changsun Wuji failed to stop Li Shimin and let him slap the table, which shocked Su Chen.
"This is unreasonable!" Li Er was furious and furious!
"The Holy One has already issued an order that no one is allowed to hoard food. Aren't they afraid of being beheaded?!" Changsun Wuji said quickly, hoping to calm Li Er's anger.
Su Chen said disapprovingly: "What's this!"
"Can't we just find a scapegoat when the time comes?!"
"They are very familiar with this kind of thing!"
Changsun Wuji was stunned when he heard this, and could not find any words to refute.
"They actually want to enrich the country while it's in jeopardy! They should be executed by everyone!"
Li Er is now so angry that his teeth are itching.
He didn't have much favorable impression of those Guanzhong aristocratic families, and now his impression was even worse!
"Hey, Lao Li, don't be so angry."
Su Chen poured a glass of wine for Li Er and continued: "For those aristocratic families who eat people without spitting out their bones, similar things happen not once or twice, but you just don't know it."
