Chapter 152 [Join together to rob(1/2)
"The emperor doesn't want it..."
"How could the emperor want it?"
That's five thousand war horses.
In addition, there are ten thousand bulls.
This batch of goods has been promoted for a few years, and almost the entire Tang Dynasty knew that Li Shimin wanted to fight.
I heard that in order to raise enough money, the emperor even had to sell the imperial houses of the two little princes because war horses mean cavalry, and with cavalry, the Tang Dynasty could the world be formidable.
Everyone firmly believed that Li Shimin was determined to take down this batch of goods.
Even Li Yun was secretly ready to trick his second uncle into making a fuss.
But why did I suddenly want it?
Since ancient times, the emperor's words were like a swearing. Many people have noticed Li Shimin's words. What the emperor just said was clearly the three words "I don't want it."
Don't want it!
Don't buy it anymore!
These are two completely different concepts. Although they are only one word different, their meanings are vastly different.
If you don’t buy it, it may be because you don’t have enough money today, so you have no choice but to withdraw from the competition. However, you will definitely buy it again in the future, and it is likely to be bought from the bidder’s price.
But it's different if you don't want it.
Since ancient times, the emperor has expressed his words with caution.
Since I said I didn't want it, I really didn't want it. No matter who ended up taking this group of war horses, the emperor would never pay for it and buy it back.
Everyone was stunned by Li Shimin's actions.
Under the platform, Li Yun's face was full of confusion. He was also confused now and couldn't help but murmur: "No, why did you suddenly want it? This is clearly not his style. He has been longing for cavalry all his life."
At this time, almost everyone was confused, and only Linglong on the high platform suddenly reacted.
But the girl suddenly swung a small hammer, then slammed heavily on the auction table, and shouted: "Congratulations to the Wang family of Taiyuan, Taiyuan, Tang Dynasty, for taking the goods for 500,000 yuan."
As he said, he smiled slowly, stood on the high platform and looked at the Wang family from afar, and said lightly: "The auction transaction is a decree. Please pay the money immediately after the auction in Taiyuan Wang family is over. Five thousand war horses and ten thousand oxen can be shipped within three days."
The man Wang's face twitched, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the patriarch Wang Gui beside him. His lips trembled a few times, and he swallowed his mouth and said, "Class Chief, you mean to bid."
At this time, the shock on Wang Gui's face had not subsided. He suddenly shivered when he heard this. The old guy stood up from the stone bench and looked at Li Shimin from a distance and said, "Your Majesty, I want to know why you don't want it?"
Yes, why don't the emperor?
This is almost the confusion of everyone in the auction compound.
Li Yun also looked at Li Shimin, and he also wanted to hear the second uncle's answer.
In front of everyone, when Li Shimin smiled, he suddenly spoke lightly, his voice was leisurely and contented, and his words were profound: "You ask me why don't you want it? I want to ask you why I need it?"
This sounded a bit difficult to speak, and Wang Gui couldn't react for a while.
But seeing Li Shimin standing with his hands behind his back, a look of pride gradually appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "The Turkic war horse is the best in the world. If this happened half a year ago, I would have to buy it anyway, because the Tang Dynasty lacked cavalry, and cavalry was a killing weapon that swept the battlefield. Almost everyone knows that I am an emperor who longs for cavalry. Because of this, you Wang family want to make a fortune from me..."
The emperor stopped here and his face became even more proud. He suddenly laughed at the sky and said with a rolling voice: "It's a pity that man's plan is not as good as God's plan. You want to make a fortune from me, but you don't know that I am not short of cavalry anymore. This time I made a noise and even sold the imperial houses of the two princes. What is I doing? I just want you to buy this batch of goods at a high price. The aristocratic family has money and the treasury has no money. But I am an emperor. As an emperor, I must follow the rules. I cannot steal the money of the aristocratic family, nor can I steal the aristocratic family's goods. I just watched you buy the war horses and bulls, and then smash them into my hands with a look of earth."
Although Li Shimin's words were long-lasting, they still failed to explain why he didn't want to fight horses.
Wang Gui stood in the distance and took a deep breath, and asked respectfully again: "Your Majesty, why?"
“Why?”
Li Shimin smiled casually and said, "Are you trying to ask me why I don't lack cavalry?"
Wang Gui nodded and bowed and said, "Please help me solve my doubts."
"good!"
Li Shimin was very straightforward and spit out a word from his mouth.
But when the emperor suddenly turned around, pointed at Li Yun next to the platform, and said proudly: "If you ask the reason, I will tell you the reason. I have a son and nephew like this. One person can be a million division. What cavalry do I need? Why do I need cavalry..."
Wow!
The people in the audience suddenly realized.
yes!
With Li Yun in the Tang Dynasty, one person can fight against a country. Even if the enemy has a million troops, it is not enough for him to hit him in one blow.
The Turks are awesome, claiming to have millions of string control people.
What will happen?
During the battle of the Yellow River, the corpses were everywhere, and a million troops fled in panic and were chased to their hometown in the grassland. The dignified Jie Li Khan could not even leave a whole body. Another Tuli Khan was even more miserable. I heard that even his head was blown out.
With Li Yun in the Tang Dynasty, it was equivalent to having a million troops. As long as Li Yun was alive, Li Shimin did not need to engage in cavalry at all.
This is a very simple truth. Almost three-year-old children can figure it out, but people in the world are prone to falling into the obstacle of knowledge and views, and almost the whole world is deceived by Li Shimin.
There was a large auction compound, and countless people opened their mouths blankly. At this time, they suddenly saw Wang Gui take a deep breath and said unwillingly: "Although Your Majesty does not lack war horses, there are always people who lack it."
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly became cold, and his tone suddenly became louder, and he said, "War horses are strictly controlled in the Tang Dynasty. They are only allowed to trade within the country and are not allowed to be sold for foreign tribes. If they are sold to foreign tribes, they will immediately punish the crime of treason and surrender to the enemy!"
Wang Gui's face turned pale.
This old guy still wants to speak, but Li Shimin no longer gave him a chance. The emperor interrupted him directly and said coldly: "Don't use the aristocratic family alliance to scare me. This auction is the only one for your Taiyuan Wang family, so I will not target all aristocratic families. I will only target your Wang family. You Wang family can try it to see which aristocratic family dares to help!"
The emperor said this very tough, because the emperor took the right path this time.
Wang Gui took a deep breath and said unwillingly: "Even if you can't sell it to foreign tribes, I, Wang, can keep it for your own use."
Li Shimin immediately laughed and nodded, "Okay, I agree, I support..."
As he said, his tone suddenly became cold again and said in a deep voice: "But don't blame me for reminding you, you can keep it for your own use, you can only use it as an ordinary horse, you can pull a cart, push the mill, slaughter and eat meat, or use it to plow the fields. As long as it is for civilian use, I guarantee that I will not pursue it..."
Wang Gui's heart sank into the bottom of the valley.
At this time, a minister of Wang couldn't help but speak and said hurriedly: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, what if we use it as a mount."
Li Shimin's eyes were solemn and said in a tough tone: "Once you act as a mount, it will be a rebellion immediately, because you bought Turkic war horses, and the number was as high as 5,000. Whether you are willing or unintentional, I will think you want to build a cavalry."
The minister of the Wang family trembled immediately.
rebellion!
This word is too lethal.
Wang Gui suddenly turned his head to look at the platform and shouted: "My Taiyuan Wang family was suddenly abruptly. I decided to give up the auction. The person who bid just now made a private bid. I will mobilize the clan's affairs to punish him. I, the Taiyuan Wang family, don't want this group of war horses and bulls."
Good guy, once you find something wrong, you immediately find an excuse to be a scoundrel. This old guy has a good idea and directly let the tribe members who bid just now take the blame.
Unfortunately, Li Yun gave him a chance to repent. Li Yun stood in the audience and secretly handed Linglong a color.
Linglong was so smart that she immediately understood it, but when the girl suddenly snorted coldly, she said in a smug tone: "We Turks are furious, like to rob and kill. We like to tear up promises, but we don't like others to tear up promises. If you regret this deal, don't blame us Turks for being unreasonable!"
Wang Gui's old face turned cold and said with a thorn in his mouth, "My Taiyuan Wang family is a family of the Tang Dynasty. How could he be afraid of the threats of your alien races? My Tang Dynasty also has iron cavalry, and the King of Zhao in the Western Palace is in charge. If you Turks dare to do something wrong..."
"Shut up and you!"
Before the old thing could finish speaking, he heard someone snorting coldly. He followed the sound and found that the person who spoke was Li Yun.
Li Yun stood on the edge of the platform with a smile, and said in a faint tone: "I am trying to do things and conquer others with virtue. Rules are rules, and no one can touch them lightly. If you regret it, there is no need for Turks to kill them. In order to maintain the rules of the trading center, I will personally massacre the Wang family."
He saw Wang Gui open his mouth and wanted to speak, and interrupted with a loud shout, "You dare to say a word again, I will kill you on the spot now. Wang Gui, I have tolerated you for a long time. Think about it carefully. My father is the most famous thing about being crazy..."
This sentence works better than anything else.
Li Yuanba was most famous for killing people in a crazy way back then.
Li Yun was giving Wang Gui a hint that I also inherited my father's crazy nature.
Once you go crazy, you will be unreasonable.
Wang Gui finally stopped the flag. The old man sighed to the sky and said bitterly: "Five hundred thousand guan, buy five thousand horses to pull a cart and push the mill..."
Li Yun smiled and said slowly: "Are there still ten thousand bulls? That thing can be eaten if you kill it."
Wang Gui's face was longer than a donkey.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was a serious crime to kill a cattle privately. If you slaughter a cow, you can be sentenced to 50 whiplashes. A total of 10,000 cows. What a great crime would it be if you killed them all?
I'm afraid the entire Wang family in Taiyuan will be beaten to death.
Wang Gui suddenly took a deep breath.
This has been the time he took a deep breath countless times today. The old guy suddenly saluted to Li Yun respectfully and said with a bitter pain: "King Zhao of Xifu, how about we make a deal?"
"OK!"
Li Yun refused and said with a smile: "I opened a trading center and welcomed merchants from all over the world to come. Whether they are humans or ghosts, they can do business here."
Wang Gui turned a deaf ear to his ridicule, and the old guy bowed again and gritted his teeth and said, "We Wang recognize this goods, but Wang does not need war horses. We want to hang the war horses in the trading center for sale..."
"Where is the bull?"
Li Yun asked directly and said, "Besides the war horses, you still have ten thousand oxen."
Wang Gui took another deep breath and tried to keep calm and said, "Let's grit our teeth and buy it."
