Because how much does five watermelons cost?

Compared with other rewards, Duan Lun wants other things, such as money, etc., but not watermelon.

Because the watermelon that Shengtang Group is selling now is now affordable for most people.

Li Shimin actually used it to reward himself, which made him a little unacceptable.

Duan Lun's performance was a bit slow, which made Li Shimin very upset.

He didn't seem very happy to see him.

"What? Is my reward not good?"

"No, no, Your Majesty, this reward is too heavy, I can't bear it! The watermelon should be eaten by the concubines and princesses!"

Duan Lun said quickly.

Li Shimin was even more unhappy.

"I have said that this is a reward. Are you trying to resist the order?"

Such a force imposed on others is very unpleasant! But who made him the emperor?!

So Duan Lun hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I obey the order!"

It seems that this has to be taken over. It is better to have it than not!

Li Shimin said with satisfaction: "Very good, I am very pleased!"

Duan Lun argued that Li Shimin is really good at being a human being.

Or he didn't know that watermelons are no longer very expensive now. I thought these watermelons were still hard to find? It's not unaware that time has passed so long!

If you know, it would be too convincing. You work so hard. It’s only worth a few watermelons? No one would be happy if you were!

Moreover, these watermelons cannot be stored forever, and if they are not eaten in time, they will break...

Although he said that, he didn't dare to say it, for fear that Li Shimin would be unhappy and put himself in danger.

So, he could only leave the palace with five watermelons.

"Your Majesty, if nothing else is done, I will take my leave first!"

"Accurate, do you know that calculator is good? The more the output, the better!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Duan Lun then turned around and left the palace.

In the entire palace, only Dai Zhou and Li Shimin were there.

Dai Zhou looked at everything he had just seen. At this moment, he had no other emotions besides sighing. He was even more afraid to speak, for fear that the watermelons would fall to him.

"Dai Zhou, why don't you go together?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.

This tool man has just finished verifying it and is about to leave.

But he had no intention of leaving.

That's why Li Shimin asked this question.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Shimin seemed to be in a good mood. He thought he gave people great favors and saved a lot of money for the court.

Asking questions also seems particularly active.

"About the caravans who came from Tianzhu recently!"

Li Shimin didn’t really want to hear anything about the Indians. It felt that it was normal for these people to come to Chang'an. This is private trade and it helped a lot to tax revenue. He hoped that more Gentiles could trade in the Tang Dynasty!

So. He just asked casually.

"What's wrong with them?"

"They transported a lot of gold into Chang'an City!"

"A lot of gold? What are they going to exchange for?"

Li Shimin was able to get up violently.

This is money.

A lot of gold, what is that? What is their purpose?

"Yes! A lot!"

"How many? Have you ever calculated it?"

"countless!"

Dai Zhou said this, and there is also his reason for this.

Because they cannot be counted.

After all, it is impossible for them to come forward to intercept each other and count other people's property.

The people of the Tang Dynasty could not do such a thing. If that happens, who dares to do business with them in the future!

"countless?"

Li Shimin was a little shocked.

Use countless words!

How much gold is there?

Then asked:

"What are the gold they brought to Chang'an to do?"

"It seems to be doing business with Shengtang Group!"

The matter about these people coming to Chang'an is an open secret.

"Doing business with Shengtang Group? They need to use so much gold? So they buy a lot?"

Li Shimin was puzzled.

When doing business with Li Yan, where did you get so much gold? It’s more about replacing some things that Li Yan needs, which are what the group wants, just like medicinal materials!

"This minister probably has the tuition fees left by those international students before."

“What tuition costs so much?”

"As far as I know, the Sixth Prince called a high price to the Indians, and each international student needs a lot of money! Otherwise, I won't teach you!"

"Oh? If so, that kid is doing a good job!"

Li Shimin said very appreciatively. Treating this differentiatedly makes it very refreshing!

Yes, Li Yan did a good job.

Actually, this is not the case, the money is the cost of those phone calls.

Of course, the Shengtang Group would not let Li Shimin know about this. Once he knew about it, he would have to make a fuss.

"This kid is very good at operating such things. It's better to take all the money from the Indians for his own use. As long as he can enter the pocket of the Shengtang Group, it's equivalent to entering Chang'an and the pocket of the Tang Dynasty!"

He still didn't say half of his words, but he actually entered the pocket of his court.

After all, the court also collects taxes.

The money will eventually fall into Li Shimin's pocket.

"Your Majesty can think so, I will feel at ease!"

Dai Zhou said so.

Li Shimin heard that the meaning of this was not very correct.

"What's wrong? Why do you say that all of a sudden?"

"I am worried that Your Majesty has misunderstood the Sixth Prince again! I will make things difficult for him again!"

"Dai Zhou, Dai Zhou, don't you know my character yet? Will I make things difficult for him? He shouldn't make things difficult for me, that's good."

"Yes, what Your Majesty said is extremely true!"

"Is there anything else?"

"It seems to be gone!"

"No, just go down!"

Li Shimin walked to the window, Dai Zhou nodded and said yes, just as he was about to leave.

But he was called again.

"etc"

"Your Majesty has something to do?"

"Did you get some definite news from Shengtang Group about the Immortal Medicine?"
