The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Zhao Chen didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking.

What he had to do was to prevent Wu Jue from entering the palace no matter what.

As long as she never enters the palace, nothing will happen next.

Wu Jue was happy.

She always thought that Zhao Chen was impatient with her, so he kept targeting her.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen would act so tough as soon as someone said they wanted to take him away.

Dad said that spanking means kissing and scolding means loving.

It turns out that Zhao Chen likes him!

hey-hey!

Wu Jue felt secretly happy and drank the porridge much faster.

Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen, but she didn't think about it.

She was just curious as to why Zhao Chen was so worried about this little girl Wu Jue.

What he said just now was clearly to prevent the emperor from being with Wu Jue.

Could it be said that there will be something wrong between the emperor and Wu Jue?

"What mistake did you make to come to Wannian County?" Zhao Chen and Li Shimin asked, avoiding the topic just now.

"Of course I'm here to ask you something!" Li Shimin took another sip of porridge and looked at Zhao Chen and Wu Jue suspiciously.

He always felt that Zhao Chen was hiding something from him.

"I ask you, how did you come up with the conditions for trade with Tubo? Do you want me to bankrupt my family?"

"Ah? You loser!" Li Shimin's face turned cold and he said dissatisfied with Zhao Chen.

Even thinking about it now, Li Shimin felt that Zhao Chen was deliberately causing trouble for him.

The 400,000 yuan in his private treasury had been deceived by Zhao Chen into building roads long ago.

Now he can't even afford a copper penny.

The treasury cannot come up with extra money.

Zhao Chen was good. He not only promised to give the Tubo people free things, but also helped them build roads.

For this road construction, Li Shimin could understand that Zhao Chen wanted to make the Tubo people work hard and find convenience for dealing with the Tubo later.

But how did he get this money?

Even if he picked up money on the road every day, he wouldn't be able to get so much.

Building a road to Luoxue City would not be possible without tens of millions of dollars, and it would also take a lot of time.

It costs money!

But no money!

Li Shimin once again became obsessed with money.

"Is a matter that can be solved with money considered a matter?" Zhao Chen smiled and took out something from his arms.

Unfolding, it was a contract that had already been written.

"Old Li Tou, this is a contract to borrow money. If you don't have money, you can borrow it from me."

"Of course, this interest is necessary. Based on our relationship, it can be discussed." Zhao Chen pushed the contract to Li Shimin and said with a smile.

Li Shimin stared at Zhao Chen.

He seemed to understand why Zhao Chen negotiated such conditions with Lu Dongzan.

After all, Zhao Chen just wanted to lend him money.

And then sit at home and collect interest?

Good guy, that's a good idea.

And the ink on this contract is completely dry.

I guess it took me several days to write.

"You knew I would come here." Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen and the corners of his mouth trembled twice.

"No, but I know someone will come over to borrow money. We are not outsiders, so there is no need to be coy." Zhao Chen looked at Li Shimin with a smile.

He wrote this contract after talking with Lu Dongzan.

It would cost at least 20 million yuan to build a cement road leading to Luozhe City.

With the Tang Dynasty's annual fiscal revenue of six to seven million yuan, it is absolutely impossible to spend so much money.

If you don't borrow money from yourself, don't even think about repairing this road.

But if he borrows money from himself, then this is just interest, but not

It's an astronomical number.

Zhao Chen had already seen mountains of copper coins piled in front of him.

Wu Jue looked at Zhao Chen. She already knew that the person sitting next to her was the sage of the Tang Dynasty that her father called him.

The saints of the Tang Dynasty, before today, were existences that Wu Jue could only hope to achieve.

At that time, Wu Jue was thinking that the saints of the Tang Dynasty must be majestic and domineering people, otherwise how could they control such a huge country.

Wu Jue felt that a sage of the Tang Dynasty should be one and the same. Wherever his eyes went, all things should be surrendered.

But now...

Zhao Chen actually drew up a loan contract for the emperor. .??.

Dare to ask the emperor to write an IOU.

Zhao Chen is not the first, but he must be the first to dare to be so upright and wait for the emperor to take the bait.

Wu Jue felt that his three views, which had not yet been fully formed, were suddenly smashed to pieces today.

He looked at Zhao Chen with even more admiration.

Old Li Tou was still thinking that if he borrowed this money, Zhao Chen would become his creditor in the future.

He would dare to deal with Zhao Chen in the future.

In addition, this guy is shameless, so he might have to collect money from him in Tai Chi Hall.

By the time……

Li Shimin felt that he might not be able to afford that person.

But then I thought about it, I borrowed the money first, and if Zhao Chen was aggressive, I would reveal Zhao Chen's identity.

Then we will see how Zhao Chen can have the nerve to ask for money from him.

The worst thing is, when the time comes, I, as the emperor, will no longer do it, so I can just do it for him.

Aren’t they all going to be given to him in the future anyway?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly felt his whole body light up.

Suppressing his inner impulse, he slowly asked Zhao Chen, "How can you guarantee that the Tubo people will build a cement road leading to Luoche City?"

Zhao Chen was a little surprised.

Old Li Tou should be bargaining with himself at this time. Why would he directly ask about road construction?

Zhao Chen just hesitated for a moment and then said, "I have told Lu Dongzan that the Tibetan people must build the road themselves. We will also pay them for the materials we use to build the road."

"The wages can be more than their military pay, so a large number of Tibetans will come to build roads."

"In this way, the number of Tibetan people willing to join the army will be greatly reduced. Even the original Tibetan soldiers will have other ideas because they are envious of the high wages for road construction."

"Building roads in Tubo is definitely not an easy task. Basically, someone will lose their life every meter."

"But for the sake of money and life, there will still be people who are happy to do it. Before long, Tibet's fighting capacity will be greatly reduced."

"No matter how powerful Songtsen Gampo is, he cannot control the greed of the entire Tibetan people."

"It only takes a year for Tubo to be in civil strife. At that time, just send a group of light cavalry to capture Luoshou City." At this point, Zhao Chen stopped.

When he wanted to drink some water, he saw Li Ruoshuang handing the freshly poured tea to him.

Li Shimin opened his mouth.

He didn't expect Zhao Chen's plan to be like this.

This plan is almost perfect except that it will cost too much money.

Everyone hopes that they can live a better life.

If there is an opportunity, everyone will fight for it.

At that time, if anyone dared to block them, they would be attacked by a group.

Songtsen Gampo may have good abilities, but he could not control the greed of his men no matter what.

What's more, Tubo is currently facing a crisis.

"If that's the case, then why do you say that free supplies are given to the Tubo people? This is obviously an act of supporting the enemy. If they take the stuff but don't build the road, wouldn't our work be in vain?" Li Shimin asked again, curious. Looking at Zhao Chen.
