"Guanyin Bi, how are you in good health these days?"

Li Shimin came here after a day of busy work in Li Zheng Hall.

He hasn't spoken with Queen Changsun for two days.

Because he was worried about Empress Changsun's body, he immediately came over after handling political affairs.

"Doctor Sun has seen it for me. It's nothing big. It's time to recuperate for a few days." Empress Changsun said softly, but her face was still pale.

Sun Simiao came to see him.

But Empress Changsun’s situation is not good.

Compared with the last diagnosis and treatment, the situation at this time is much worse.

Sun Simiao wanted to tell the emperor about this, but was stopped by Empress Changsun.

At this moment, the Tang Dynasty was in a turbulent autumn. Jinyang’s earth dragon turned over and Chang’an City suffered from rain and food shortage.

Empress Changsun didn't want to upset the emperor anymore.

"Your Majesty, what is the price of food in Chang'an City?"

"Is there a solution?" Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin and asked carefully.

The food prices have risen a lot in Chang'an City these days.

Empress Changsun also heard about the Lantian County Grain Depot and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"The situation is fine. Zhao Chen and I have an idea. The people of Chang'an City want to survive this rain."

"But after the rain, I may be asked to come to my door for debt!" Li Shimin said slowly, looking a little worried.

He still hasn't figured out whether the method Zhao Chen told him was the ultimate trick of Li Shimin.

Twenty-months a dou of grain, one million stones.

That was a total of 200,000 yuan.

Where did Li Shimin take out so much money?

This is really deadly.

Li Shimin now regrets it. He shouldn't have listened to Zhao Chen's words so easily. It's really hard to get on the verge of being on the verge of a tiger.

"What did Your Majesty say? What did that child Zhao Chen say to Your Majesty?" Empress Changsun was a little curious.

I thought to myself what method Zhao Chen had come up with.

Let the people of Chang'an City be fine, but His Majesty is going to be ticked for debt?

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun said in detail what Zhao Chen said to him today in the tavern and in the pub.

With the help of tea, Empress Changsun understood the causes and consequences.

"Guanyin Bi, do you think I am the one who was cheated?" Li Shimin asked with a bitter face.

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Empress Changsun felt a little funny.

"Where is Your Majesty talking about this? Zhao Chen doesn't know His Majesty's identity, how dare he harm His Majesty?"

"However, I feel that the one who took advantage of this battle around food should be Zhao Chen's child!" Empress Changsun said to Li Shimin with a chuckling.

"What does Guanyin maid mean?" Li Shimin was a little confused.

Why is Zhao Chen the biggest beneficiary?

"Your Majesty forgot that a few days ago, Zhao Chen purchased a total of 700,000 stones of grain."

"I heard that Li Ruoshuang even took out his dowry for Zhao Chen!"

"Duke Yiguo and Duke Lu's two families also stole a lot of money."

"Did Your Majesty think that Zhao Chen and the others are doing this just for fun?" Empress Changsun chuckled.

Of course, Li Shimin would not think that Zhao Chen and the others bought grain for fun.

only……

"Hiss--" Li Shimin suddenly took a breath.

The whole person stood up in an instant.

He suddenly thought of the reason why Zhao Chen did so much and even asked himself to go to Zheng's family to buy grain in Xingyang.

"That little bastard dares to design me?" Li Shimin showed anger.

Li Shimin understood.

Zhao Chen asked himself to purchase grain from the five surnames Qiwang for a price of twenty cents per bucket.

The five surnames and seven hopes will definitely agree.

If you don’t take such a big advantage, isn’t that a fool?

In this way, Zheng He and others will definitely go to Zhao Chen to buy the food back.

Zhao Chen can make a big profit.

Is this Zhao Chen’s plan?

But, do you want Li Shimin to give out this twenty-month dou of food?

"Guanyin maid, I'm a little angry!" Li Shimin looked at Changsun changing the queen and said in a deep voice.

Where could he give Zheng He 200,000 yuan?

Zhao Chen is just concerned about eating his own fill, regardless of whether he is Li Shimin starved to death?

"Your Majesty, don't rush to draw a conclusion. Zhao Chen wants to be angry with you and dare not design a pilgrimage."

"Since he said he would help Your Majesty, you will definitely not disappoint His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, the five surnames and seven hopes do not know Zhao Chen, and they will blame your Majesty for this matter in the end. Is Your Majesty really going to turn against the five surnames and seven hopes?" Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin with a look of worry.

The five surnames and seven hopes controlled the Tang Dynasty's affairs for a long time.

Even most of the people's livelihood in Chang'an City is controlled by them.

The royal family’s dissatisfaction with them was not one day or two.

However, if you really want to oppose the five surnames and seven hopes, even if you are the emperor, it will be difficult for you!

"I haven't thought about it yet." Li Shimin shook his head.

The five surnames and seven hopes can only deal with each other slowly. If they suddenly turn against each other, even if Li Shimin is the emperor, he will not get much benefit.

"By the way, Guanyin Bi, do you think that boy Zhao is planning to design the five surnames and seven hopes?"

"I thought about it from beginning to end, but I didn't think of it at all."

"I am really worried that this little bastard will be the one who cheated me in the end!" Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun and asked.

"I don't know about this. I'll ask Zhao Chen later that child."

"Your Majesty's most urgent thing now is to stabilize the food price in Chang'an City, otherwise there may be chaos." Empress Changsun shook her head and advised again.

"I know!" Li Shimin nodded, and a hint of worry still appeared on his face.

...

Zheng He returned to his house and added several shopkeepers from the rest, but he did not leave at this moment.

Although Zhao Chen took away 75% of the profits, they can still make a lot of money, right?

"The contract given by His Majesty the Emperor must be taken away."

"If this is lost, we will definitely be dead!" A shopkeeper reminded Zheng He.

"Yes, the Zheng Dong family, that contract is related to our lives. If we lose the contract and cannot get the money, we will be completely finished!"

"The Zheng Dong family would rather hide the contract and lock it up with six locks. Each of us will keep a key, so that we will not lose it."

The rest of them spoke one after another.

I hope Zheng He locks the contract and they all keep a key.

In fact, they are just afraid that others will move this contract.

After all, this is 200,000 yuan.

If something really happens, the master will definitely chop their heads one by one.

"I understand, come with me." Zheng He nodded, but did not refuse.

It's better to be careful about this matter.

Otherwise, if something really happened, Zheng He could not handle it alone.

Several people came to Zheng He's study room and saw Zheng He pulling the mechanism, and saw a secret door appear in the study room.

Zheng He walked forward and took out a box inside.

When I opened the box, I saw a contract that appeared in front of everyone.

"How?" Zheng He showed a glamorous look on his face.

"Okay, with this, we can make a lot of money this time!"

"It's a pity that boy Zhao Chen has some support from him, otherwise..."

"Hmph, forget it this time, lock the contract. After the rain stops, we will go to Tai Chi Hall to find the emperor to get the money!"

"You are right, Zheng Dongjia, let's lock it with the key!"

Several people said one after another.
