"As long as I have this money, I am confident that I can rise from the family within three years!"
I have to say that His Majesty Li Er is definitely a good actor. With just a few words, he packaged himself as a child of a family fighting for family power.
Su Chen felt that the competition between the children of the aristocratic family was indeed fierce, so there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
But Queen Changsun was shocked by His Majesty Li Er's acting skills. Is this still the same Majesty Li Er she knew?!
Speaking of which, this was also the first time she saw His Majesty Li Er pretending to be stupid in front of others. The key is that it really looked like that!
This His Majesty Li Er who lied without drafting and could still talk nonsense in a serious manner was completely different from the His Majesty Li Er in her memory!
Your Majesty, what happened to him?
At this moment, Queen Changsun felt some pain in her head and could only gently stroke her forehead.
His Majesty Li Er looked back slightly and saw the speechless look on Queen Changsun's face, and couldn't help but blush.
Damn, I’m really embarrassed this time. I must explain it to my wife and children after I go back. I have my reasons for doing this!
His Majesty Li Er quickly turned around and said to Queen Changsun: "Madam, there is a lot of dust here. You'd better take Si Zi out quickly, otherwise it will be bad for her condition."
"Yeah!"
Hearing this, Su Chen also reacted and echoed: "Mrs. Li, given Si Zi's physical condition, it is really not suitable to stay here for a long time, so let's go up first."
"Um."
Empress Changsun nodded, then glanced at His Majesty Li Er with deep meaning, and left the cellar with her two daughters.
"How is it? What do you think? But you are not satisfied with the share?"
After they left, His Majesty Li Er couldn't wait to speak.
The reason why His Majesty Li Er was so eager to obtain wealth was actually because Su Chen's words about Tubo moved him.
In recent years, due to the transition of imperial power, the internal political situation of the Tang Dynasty has been unstable, and the border areas have been extremely chaotic.
Countries that bordered the Tang Dynasty, such as the East and West Turks, Tubo, and Goguryeo, frequently invaded the borders of the Tang Dynasty every year, disturbing the local people and making them miserable.
The Weishui Alliance back then was the biggest insult His Majesty Li Er had ever suffered in these foreign countries!
Although Tubo did not invade the Tang Dynasty as unscrupulously as Jieli Khan, what they have done over the years is definitely intolerable to His Majesty Li Er!
Burning, killing, looting, raping and plundering, full of evil, committing all kinds of evil!
It can be said that the various behaviors of Tubo have already reached the level of heinous!
For those people of the Tang Dynasty who lived on the border of Tubo, living one more day was a rare luxury!
But as the emperor of those people, he could only watch helplessly as they were being violated!
It's not that he doesn't want to solve the Tubo problem, it's that he can't solve it!
Because in recent years, Tubo's military and agriculture have been at their peak, and their national strength has been strong.
Several of his military expeditions ended in vain.
For a long time, His Majesty Li Er could only adopt a passive defensive strategy in this regard.
However, after Su Chen's words appeared, he saw the hope of solving Tubo!
Since the last time the Eastern Turks were wiped out and completely destroyed, Tibet has indeed become much more honest.
Before the Lantern Festival, news came from the border that Tibet had sent envoys to Chang'an for exchanges and wanted to re-establish friendly diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty.
Calculating the time, the Tibetan envoy will arrive in Chang'an in half a month.
The ministers in the court debated this matter for a long time, and finally decided to accept the settlement.
After all, Tubo is not one of those small grassland countries. They are now powerful and have no fear of the Tang Dynasty. If they miss this opportunity for reconciliation, the Tang Dynasty may not be able to destroy them, and the people on the border will be in dire straits again.
In this regard, His Majesty Li Er originally planned to reconcile this issue and make long-term plans.
However, this trip to Wannian County gave His Majesty Li Er another unexpected gain!
Su Chen's treatment of the grassland nobles gave His Majesty Li Er new inspiration!
If the Tang Dynasty sent 100,000 soldiers and requisitioned 150,000 soldiers from the grassland, wouldn't it be possible to destroy Tubo?
Although Li Er was very enthusiastic about this, he encountered a huge problem.
No money!
War is simply a bottomless pit. Money will only be too little, not too much!
A war is not so much a competition of national power as a competition of who has more money!
Horses, weapons, armor, food...
This is all money!
The treasury of the Tang Dynasty is indeed full now, but if it wants to support a battle, it is not enough.
And now, the fastest way to obtain money is right in front of His Majesty Li Er, how could he not be tempted?!
Su Chen's colored glaze, even if he took out a part of it, he could sell it for thousands of dollars!
Even if he only needs two cities afterwards, those are at least millions!
At that time, a part of it will be transferred from the national treasury, and then this time the military expenditure will be enough!
By doing this, not only will the national treasury not be empty, but you will not have to collect taxes from the people. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?!
“It’s not a matter of how much you give!”
Su Chen shook his head, looked at His Majesty Li Er seriously, and said in a serious voice: "You have to think clearly, if you really do it, maybe within two or three years, those aristocratic families will not trouble you, but after ten years,
They will definitely find out the clues!"
"When the time comes, the worst outcome will not be as simple as the destruction of the family!"
"Even if you have power by then, will you make sure you can protect your wife and daughter?!"
"Lao Li, listen to me, family is really more important than anything else!"
It is not that Su Chen cannot understand what His Majesty Li Er said.
After all, Lao Li is a man in his thirties, and he definitely hopes to have a good career so that his family can live a better life. It is understandable that he has such great ambitions.
However, the risk of doing so is really too great!
If you are not careful, your wife and children will be separated, and your family will be destroyed!
Su Chen didn't want to see the young Sizi lose her father.
Therefore, if he could persuade him, he would still do so.
His Majesty Li Er looked at Su Chen with stern eyes and said in a very firm tone: "Don't worry, I, Old Li, never do anything that I am not sure of!"
"well!"
Seeing that Lao Li is a bastard and eating weights - he is determined, so Su Chen can't persuade him any more.
"Okay, then I will sell glass with you, it can be regarded as for Xiao Sizi. I will help you and think of a perfect solution for you."
Now, Su Chen has done his best to be benevolent and can only help Lao Li so much. I hope Lao Li can successfully complete his career.
"Great! Little friend Su, I, Lao Li, have remembered this favor!"
