Why aren't you dead yet?
Yun Zheng's unique way of greeting instantly made Yuan Gui so angry that his liver hurt.
Isn’t it Yun Zheng’s fault that the father and son have fallen into this state?
If it weren't for the Crown Prince's plea and the Emperor's special mercy, both father and son would have been beheaded long ago!
Hearing Yun Zheng ask this again, Yuan Gui's hatred was intensified.
If the situation wasn't so bad right now, he really wanted to rush forward, pin Yun Zheng to the ground and beat him up.
"I have a long life, so there is no need for your concern, Sixth Prince!"
Yuan Gui glared at Yun Zheng, "Sixth Prince, I advise you not to do anything rash! Otherwise..."
"Alright, stop talking with your IQ. I'll deal with you later."
Yun Zheng interrupted Yuan Gui impatiently and turned to look at the third brother, "Actually, I am too lazy to beat you, but there is no other way. Father has said so before. If I don't beat you, it would be disobeying his order, don't you think?"
...
...
"you……"
Yun Li was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Emperor Wen did say this in front of all the civil and military officials.
He had just lost his mind due to anger and accidentally said the word "rebellion".
Now, Yun Zheng is holding a chicken feather as a token of authority. Even if Yun Zheng really slaps him twice, he can only suffer in silence.
But if Yun Zheng slapped him twice in front of so many people, not only would he, the prince, lose face, but his prestige in front of his own guards would also be greatly reduced.
He would never let Yun Zheng's slap land on his face.
"I just said something out of turn!"
Yun Li rode on his horse, gnashing his teeth as he looked at Yun Zheng, "Sixth Brother, how about we talk for a moment?"
"OK!"
Yun Zheng laughed and rode away.
“Get out of the way!”
Yun Li shouted at the guard who was blocking his way and quickly rode to the side, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Yun Li suppressed the anger in his heart and took the initiative to ask.
He has already learned some experience from Yun Zheng's trick.
As soon as Yun Zheng stuck out his butt, he knew what Yun Zheng was going to do.
"How much do you think your face is worth?"
Yun Zheng asked back with a smile on his face.
Yun Li's heart twitched fiercely, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to waste time talking to you! Just name a price!"
Yun Li was furious.
He felt that he might be the most aggrieved prince in history.
Looking at the past and present, no prince has ever been as aggrieved as I am.
He was a prince, but he had become Yun Zheng's money bag!
The key point is, this time I took the initiative to stretch out my neck and let this bastard slaughter me!
Yun Zheng stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "The prince's reputation is worth at least five million dan of grain!"
"How much...how much?"
Yun Li almost bit his tongue, cursing Yun Zheng's ancestors frantically in his heart.
Even if they were the same ancestor, it couldn't stop him from sending his greetings.
This bastard!
Five million dan of grain as the first step?
Does he think himself his own granary?
Last year, the imperial court consumed a large amount of grain on disaster relief. If he dared to give Yun Zheng five million dan of grain, even if he was the crown prince, he would probably be scolded by all the civil and military officials when he returned to the imperial city.
"No!"
Yun Li refused angrily, "The imperial court is not your money and grain bag, and the Ministry of Revenue is not my Ministry of Revenue! Even if I agree to you now, the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to allocate so much grain!"
"I didn't ask you to give me 5 million dan of grain all at once!" Yun Zheng said with a smile, "Just give me 5 million dan of grain within a year, is that okay?"
Yun Li was furious and said angrily: "I said it! The Ministry of Revenue is not my Ministry of Revenue!"
"Isn't that bastard Xu Shifu the Minister of Revenue?"
Yun Zheng laughed frivolously, "If you don't give it to me, I'll just have to beat you."
"Sixth Brother, don't go too far!"
Yun Li roared angrily, but then patiently reasoned with Yun Zheng: "I just said one wrong thing, and you want to use this as an excuse to extort five million dan of grain?"
"Even if I agree, will the emperor agree?"
"As long as the emperor doesn't agree, who would dare to give you five million dan of grain?"
"If you really want food, come with me to see the Emperor!"
"As long as my father agrees, I have nothing to say!"
Now, the only thing I can do is go find my father.
No matter what, this bastard should at least give our father some face, right?
"Old Third, you don't know how to adapt at all."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Well, if you give me your guards' horses, I will tell you a way to ensure that the emperor and all the civil and military officials in the court will agree to your giving out 5 million dan of grain!"
War horse?
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Yun Li almost jumped up and pointed at Yun Zheng's nose and cursed.
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone so shameless!
Not only does he want five million dan of grain, he even wants his own guards' war horses?
Looking around the world, there is no one more shameless than this bastard!
How come this bastard didn’t die on the battlefield?
Yun Li cursed madly in his heart, and looked at Yun Zheng fiercely, "Speak now! I want to see what ivory you can spit out of your dog's mouth!"
"So, you agree to give me their war horses?" Yun Zheng asked slowly.
Yun Li gritted his teeth and said, "As long as your method can make the emperor and the ministers agree, I will agree!"
For now, I can only agree.
Although those war horses hurt him, he would have no choice but to give them to Yun Zheng if he could really help him think of a solution.
It’s better than Yun Zheng slapping himself in public, right?
"I don't want these five million dan of grain for nothing."
Yun Zheng smiled: "I can exchange it for 10,000 kilograms of potatoes."
"Ground potatoes?"
Yun Li's eyelids suddenly jumped and he reacted suddenly.
yes!
Sweet potato!
Why didn’t I think of this?
Damn it!
This bastard is in trouble again!
"Yeah, this is a treasure!"
Yun Zheng looked at Yun Li with a smile, "Father came to Shuobei a few days ago and asked me for potatoes more than once, but I never agreed! You exchange grain for potatoes, it will be justified in the court and with father, right?"
Listening to Yun Zheng’s words, Yun Li wrote the word “admiration” in his heart.
You bastard! You bastard!
It turns out that he was waiting for me here!
No wonder this bastard dared to ask for five million dan of grain right away.
This bastard is so shameless that he even figured out how to convince the emperor and the officials in the court!
No wonder he said he wanted to talk to me about the potato issue!
He is digging his own grave!
Yun Li cursed in his heart.
However, this is indeed a good idea.
He knew very well how much his father and the officials in the court cared about the high-yield potatoes.
At first glance, exchanging five million dan of grain for ten thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes must seem like a huge loss.
But in the long run, this deal is not a loss.
These ten thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes are extremely valuable seeds.
Its value can never be calculated according to the value of ordinary food.
By introducing high-yield sweet potatoes into the interior of the country, they can be planted on a large scale within the country.
It won't take a few years to earn back these five million dan of grain.
It's better to exchange five million dan of grain for potato seeds than to tell people that you gave five million dan of grain to offset the slap from this bastard, right?
He knew that Yun Zheng was trying to trick him.
But he seemed to have no choice but to jump into this pit.
After thinking silently for a long time, Yun Li gritted his teeth and said, "Wait, I will go and ask my father for his opinion!"
"Okay, go ahead!"
Yun Zheng readily agreed, "You can't run away anyway. If you don't agree, I can't guarantee that I won't beat you in front of all the officials during the wedding..."
Bastard!
Yun Li cursed fiercely in his heart and was about to run to Qingshan Lake when Emperor Wen's carriage appeared in their sight...
