Chapter 85 Wang Ji
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Haochen and Li Juaner coming out together, and smiled slightly and said, "Haochen, why don't you come to see me? It turns out that you have a beautiful woman to accompany you. I have long forgotten the prince's prince!" Although it was a joke tone, anyone could hear the prince's words at this moment.
Li Haochen could naturally hear the implicit sound when he heard Li Jiancheng's words, and he was also a little frightened. After all, the prince was the crown prince. If he had responded improperly today and left a bad impression on the prince's heart, I'm afraid that the future would not be very easy.
Li Haochen showed a simple smile on his face and said, "What is your highness saying? Don't say that this girl has nothing to do with me. Even my wife is the most important thing in my heart. No one can compare to you!"
Li Jiancheng was still very satisfied with Li Haochen's reply, but some people were indeed a little unhappy. This person was Li Juaner. She didn't have so many twists and turns. Hearing the singing of Li Haochen and Li Jiancheng, he was a little embarrassed and annoyed. What was shy was that Li Jiancheng said that Li Haochen had an ambiguous relationship with her. What was annoyed was that Li Haochen didn't explain, but as soon as he explained, he said that there was a relationship between the two, and the prince was the most important in his heart. Isn't that saying that she was not charming? Then he stomped his feet in anger, and then ignored the two.
Li Haochen whispered to the prince, saying that Li Juan'er's identity. When Li Jiancheng heard that he was Li Jing's daughter, he did not care too much about Li Juan'er's rudeness. Instead, he smiled and said, "Where is Haochen's intention to go for this trip?"
Li Haochen honestly told Li Jiancheng about the purpose of this trip. When Li Jiancheng heard that cotton had fallen, he did not dare to stop Li Haochen. Li Jiancheng knew that the cotton was a big deal, so he told Li Haochen that he would go to the East Palace to find him after he had something to do.
Li Haochen thought in his heart, and didn't know what Li Jiancheng had to find him. However, he was really anxious to find cotton at this moment, so he didn't think too much. Li Jiancheng trusted him very much now and would definitely not harm him, so he didn't think too much. In fact, if people don't have long-term plans, they will have immediate worries. Because Li Haochen did not have enough considerations, he almost suffered from death in the future. Of course, this is all a matter of later.
After Li Haochen and Li Jiancheng exchanged greetings and separated, they followed Li Juaner to find where the cotton in Li Juaner was placed. There were no accidents along the way. Li Haochen, who was very smooth, got the cotton and handed over the procedures with Li Juaner on the spot. After obtaining ownership of the cotton, Li Haochen and Li Juaner did not say too much, so they left.
Li Haochen didn't know where Li Haochen went. Li Haochen went to the inn and looked for Lu Tong. At this moment, Lu Tong was busy looking for the whereabouts of the remaining cotton. Seeing Li Haochen coming, he showed a look of embarrassment. Li Haochen didn't ask him, and he knew that the inquiry must have been unsuccessful. Lu Tong cannot blame this. This part of the cotton is in Li Juan'er's hands. Li Juan'er is Li Jing's daughter. It would be difficult for people like Lu Tong to find some things in wealthy and noble forces like Li Jing.
When Lu Tong heard that Li Haochen had found the whereabouts of cotton, Lu Tong's face became even more unsightly. His head was almost hanging to the ground. He knelt down on one knee at Li Haochen and said, "General, my subordinates are not doing their jobs well, please punish me!"
Li Haochen waved his hand at Lu Tong and said, "Get up! You can't blame you for this matter, and your intelligence system has not been completely formed yet. Hurry up and hand over the 350,000 kilograms of cotton to me. I have to report to Your Majesty today!"
When Lu Tong heard this, he didn't dare to delay it. He quickly went to a goods station with Li Haochen and carried out the handover procedures. Then Li Haochen told Lu Tong that after a while, he would start to form an intelligence system after getting the money. At that time, he would come to guide Lu Tong how to do it.
Lu Tong clasped his fists and nodded, and Li Haochen said goodbye to Lu Tong and entered Xuanwu Gate, and came to Tai Chi Hall. Through the notice, Li Haochen entered the hall smoothly. Li Yuan was sitting behind the table, looking at Li Haochen coming in with a smile on his face.
After Li Haochen saluted Li Yuan, Li Yuan asked him to get up and asked with a smile: "Haochen, do you have any good news to bring to me?"
Li Haochen hurriedly said respectfully: "I have purchased 400,000 kilograms of cotton, and I will report to Your Majesty!"
Li Yuan said with joy on his face when he heard this: "You bought 400,000 kilograms of cotton so quickly. I am really very pleased. I just don't know the price? What is the quality?"
Li Haochen did not hear this meaningful sentence of Li Yuan, but said honestly: "The price is about twelve times that of the previous few days. The quality minister has checked it one by one without any problem! So I came to report to Your Majesty! I also asked Your Majesty to approve the Ministry of Revenue to allocate the funds for the purchase of cotton and you can trade it!"
Li Yuan smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, I can't handle it, and I will immediately issue an order to ask the Minister of Revenue to order the Ministry of Revenue to handle the matter immediately."
Li Haochen didn't know that he had just escaped a murder. He didn't know that Li Yuan was full of spies in Chang'an. This founding emperor who was weakened by history books was really not that simple. Li Yuan had long known who the cotton was in. This is why he handed this thing to Li Haochen, which should have been handled by the civil servants. Li Haochen gave Li Juan'er a fifteen times the price. When the transaction was completed, Li Yuan had already received the news that he was very dissatisfied with Li Haochen's transaction under the upper limit of his pricing. He had already thought about it and wanted to find an excuse to let Li Haochen spit out the spent money.
However, Li Yuan did not expect that Li Haochen quoted him a price of twelve times. You should know that this price is very fair. If you are transporting cotton with other places now, plus the freight cost, the price may not be much higher, and it will also waste time. There are not many farmers in the Tang Dynasty who planted cotton. Even if Li Haochen's 400,000 kilograms of cotton were not sold to the court and to the Turks, the benefits obtained will be much higher than what he said. Li Yuan originally thought that Li Haochen was going to the country to suffer a disaster.
Cai was naturally unhappy, but after careful calculation, Li Haochen actually saved money for the entire Tang Dynasty in disguise. If he hadn't hoarded a lot of cotton, those farmers knew that the court would buy a lot of cotton, which would inevitably raise prices. The final price might be more than twenty times, and it took a lot of time. Now this problem has been easily solved, and the price is still a relatively low price, which made Li Yuan not only understand what Li Haochen did, but also has a good impression of what he did.
