Three hundred and fortieth chapters training twenty-five children (two)

Is Liu Mingqi's heart good?

good!

He cherishes ordinary people very much. Even if he cannot let them live a modern happy life, he at least hopes that they can have enough food and have more dignity as human beings most of the time.

If the people of a country live worse than dogs, there is really no need for existence.

That's why Liu Mingqi tried her best to invent so many things, especially after discovering sweet potatoes, she almost kowtowed to God.

But then again, out of strong cultural and clan emotions, Liu Mingqi's kindness is only effective for the Chinese people.

Not to mention the Japanese pirates in Japan, there are other foreign tribes such as Wei, Western Qiang, Uighurs, etc., including Baekje, which actually has no harm to China, Liu Mingqi is not interested in it.

Oh, and there are those red-haired ghosts. Liu Mingqi decided to refer to the historical facts of 1840 and 1900 and deal with them.

Don't doubt it.

This is the necessary punishment for civilized people to the barbarians.

Therefore, today Liu Mingqi specifically talked to Li Suji about Baekje’s lack of supplies, so he naturally had ulterior motives.

Even Li Ruxuan, the person in power in Baekje, dared not expect a woman to play a great role. He only hopes that under the same conditions, Li Suji can slightly affect Liu Mingqi's tendency, which is enough.

After all, Liu Mingqi is best at business. Who is doing business with?

Doing business with Baekje is much more convenient than doing business with Shiwei.

Liu Mingqi is not a thousand-year-old fox, but she has watched such stories on TV too much.

He didn't even believe in Lee Suji in this regard.

If Li Suji came up and said that Baekje had nothing to do with me, you would do whatever you want... Then Liu Mingqi would definitely neglect her in the future.

You don’t even love your own ethnic group or family, and I still hope that you love me and take our small family to heart?

But if Li Suji asked a lot, Liu Mingqi would feel that she was here to ask for debts.

In terms of beauty and exotic style, Li Suji is indeed the top five beauties Liu Mingqi has ever seen, but you can't be so valuable either.

Therefore, a man's heart is always contradictory.

A woman who can satisfy all these entanglements and problems of men, no matter how your woman looks, she must be a treasure in the man’s heart.

...

Therefore, Liu Mingqi talks about supplies to Li Suji now, not because he likes Li Suji too much, but because he has practical needs.

No matter how powerful the enemy is, it begins to collapse from the inside.

The Mongol Empire was so powerful, but after Genghis Khan's death, it immediately split into several countries. The entire hegemony lasted for more than a hundred years, and it was like a flash in the pan.

A grassland powerhouse like this has survived for a long time, from Shanrong, Donghu, to the Xiongnu, Turkic... which one has lasted for a long time?

Shiwei has been strong for almost a hundred years so far. According to normal circumstances, they should enter a period of time from prosperity to decline.

But they didn't, and they have been particularly prosperous in the past 20 or 30 years.

The reason is that Liu Mingqi thinks it is because they have integrated into part of the Han culture.

Typically, they not only established a country, but also had four capitals, which is the biggest difference from the nomadic fishing and hunting nations.

It is precisely because of this centripetal force and dominance that Shiwei is even stronger.

However, these nomadic fishing and hunting peoples are just learning the basics. The Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolia, etc. in history have all failed, and the only one who survives is the orthodox Central Plains.

But Liu Mingqi was not interested in waiting for decades, and watched Shi Wei collapse.

He wanted to add another force to allow Shi Wei to enter the weak stage early.

This piece must fall on Baekje.

Baekje people will never be slaves!

Uh... It seems that there is nothing wrong with this.

Anyway, Liu Mingqi definitely doesn't believe that Baekje would rather be someone else's slave.

Before, he found Li Yu, the second son of Li Ruxuan, the minister of Baekje, and Liu Mingqi tried it out.

Although they had ten thousand reasons to say that this was just doing business, they could not hide it from modern people like Liu Mingqi.

Now that Li Ruxuan gave Li Suji to Liu Mingqi as his little wife, the meaning is even more obvious.

When Liu Mingqi returned to Dakang, she had almost sorted out the matter in her hands and was ready to start making moves against Baekje.

Li Suji is the transfer target for his communication with Li Ruxuan.

No matter what Li Suji thought, the boy had to let her convey many things, so that if there were any differences, there would be a buffer.

I asked Li Suji to come here today to talk about this.

"Mr. Li told me about the transaction before, but I don't know what you need most urgently." Liu Mingqi looked at the girl and said, "Su Ji, you can talk, and then I'll make a decision."

"The most important thing is food," Li Suji said with a deep eye, "To be honest, what we, Baekje, lack the most is food. Every winter, even our Li family can only eat one lunch, sometimes cook kelp and fish at night, and drink a bowl of soup for half a day!

My brother often cried with hunger, so my parents could only give him some of his food to eat! But how could this be enough? We can only not move much every day, and this is just enough for us to survive."

Liu Mingqi was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Suji's life would be so hard.

Look at Li Suji's proud figure, how could there be a woman who only eats one meal?

Little did they know that Li Suji and the other girls were actually among the few people in the Li family who could eat three meals every day, and they were more hearty than Li Ruxuan himself.

The reason is naturally very simple. They are the best gifts of the Li family, so of course they can't be given out casually.

After pressing this doubt, the young man had a more serious question: "Your Li family is the largest family in Baekje, and Lord Li is even a high-ranking official in the court. He must have a lot of salary, right? In addition to doing some business, how could the Li family's own family be so down and out?"

"Because everyone's income is all concentrated, most of them are going to help the poorer and poorer Baekje people than us." Li Suji said without hesitation, "Your Highness, you are in the Celestial Kingdom, so naturally you don't know how hard it is for us to have a small country and have few people!

Our Li family can have a meal most of the time in winter, but many people can’t eat a meal in summer, so they can only drink water, eat grass, eat tree bark... Even mice are rare good things..."

As he spoke, tears fell on Li Suji's delicate face, and I felt sorry for her.

It can be seen that this is a very simple girl, but she doesn’t understand the world. From this point of view, the Li family’s upbringing is really good.

It is not enough to raise a foolish and sweet person who is heartless after getting married, or does not know how to offend others. This will be a waste of effort.

Judging from what she described, Baekje people did have a hard time, and the Li family's ambitions were even greater than they thought.

This is almost comparable to Goujian's sleeping on firewood and tasting gall.

But that's just right!

The greater the ambition of the Li family, the more suitable they are to be selected to be the candidate to fight with Shi Wei.

Liu Mingqi thought, and said, "Where is food, it is hard currency, and it is lacking at any time..."

"I understand."

Li Suji subconsciously interrupted Liu Mingqi's words, "Before coming, the patriarch grandfather said, they are not in a hurry, these cooperations are long-term. When we have a wealth of money, it will not be too late to trade with them."

"It's not this." Liu Mingqi smiled and patted her legs, "Although Dakang doesn't have much food, we're going to get married soon. No matter how hard we have to give some betrothal gifts!

I plan to give them 100,000 shi of rice and wheat to Baekje, and then sell them 900,000 shi of grain according to the price of our grain production area and the price of 10 million per kilogram.

In addition, I will also give them many commodities in our Prince Yu Mansion, such as soap, sugar, and honeycomb coal, at the same price as in Dakang.

These things will be loaded in Shandong in the past half month, and will be delivered to Baekje at most in early December. That was the time for our wedding!

They can exchange Baekje’s specialties, whether it is ore, wood, or delicacies, as long as we can use it, it’s fine!”

"ah?"

Li Suji's eyes turned red again. She grabbed one of Liu Mingqi's hand and placed it on her bulging chest, and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Highness, you... you are so kind to Suji... I don't know how to thank you."

Li Suji has been to Dakang for so long, so he naturally knows a lot about Dakang's situation.

This year, Dakang suffered a crisis that had never been around for decades, and was frantically besieged by the six forces. He was almost beaten to the capital. Jiangnan was almost ravaged by the entire territory, and finally lost half of the western Liaoning Corridor.

Dakang suffered heavy losses.

For example, an important grain-producing area in Jiangnan needs support from other provinces this year, and grain prices have risen a lot.

In this case, Liu Mingqi could still draw one million stones of grain to Baekje, and the price was only ten cents per pound, which was half cheaper than the price of twenty cents per pound in the capital!!

What is this concept?

This is a sincere gift!

That's why the little girl is so happy and so moved.

But the next moment she said a little timidly: "Your Highness, soap, sugar and other precious things... they, they may not need them..."

Liu Mingqi laughed, "You don't understand this! These things are not for them to be used, but for them to sell them to Shiwei people! If Shiwei people get benefits, their lives will be much better, right?"

"Um"

Li Suji thought for a moment, then Zhan Yan smiled, smiling very brightly.

The little girl at this time completely forgot that she even held the boy's hand in her heart.
