Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 76 It's Impossible To Want To Whore For Free
Li Ke was very dissatisfied with Li Er's style of work.

He wanted coal, but he didn't want to bow his head to Li Ke, so he pushed out Cheng Yaojin, a good old man.

Give it to Li Ke, and Li Er will gain fame.

Li Ke refuses to give it. It is conceivable that this kind of thing that is beneficial to the people, if he does not agree, Li Er will definitely label him as ignoring the life and death of the people in the world.

Coal is too cheap in Longguo, and if Li Ke is willing, he can just tell him how to get coal.

This does not involve national power, nor does it involve military combat, nor does it involve the interests of all countries.

Li Ke just didn't want to give it, and he didn't want to say how to get coal.

That would not cause too much loss to Li Er, it would just kill some people he didn't care about.

But it made the people of all countries lose their good opinion of Li Ke, the dragon country.

What Li Er did was somewhat morally kidnapped.

That's why Li Ke said that to Cheng Yaojin.

However, in the face of Li Er's moral kidnapping, it is obvious that Li Ke does not accept this.

So he said to Cheng Yaojin:
"I will give you the method to find the coal mine and the identification method, but you go back and tell Li Er to let him buy it with silver. After all, it took a lot of effort for me to study the burning of coal and find out the identification in Longguo."

The ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households laughed, and it took a lot of effort to search for a few days according to the clues Li Ke gave.

However, these are confidential.

Tang Guo didn't know the specific information about coal, and Long Guo was also very strict about coal. Li Er sent people several times to get it back for research, but they couldn't get it.

Therefore, in their eyes, they don't know anything about the burning stone.

However, right now Li Ke said that he spent a lot of effort, obviously trying to trick Tang Guo.

Cheng Yaojin asked Li Ke: "I don't know, Your Majesty the Dragon Kingdom, how much money do you want? Or, what else?"

Li Ke closed his eyes slightly, and after a short while, opened them and said:
"200 million taels of silver, 100 million pieces of silk, 200 million pieces of cloth, and 50 tons of cotton!"

Cheng Yaojin's face changed slightly, and he said, "This...isn't it a little too much?"

Li Ke said: "Compared with the coal that saves people, are there many of these things? You have to understand that I have given you a way to find coal, and you Tang people will not suffer from the cold winter!"

Cheng Yaojin was startled, and then saluted:

"Not much!"

"Since that's the case, go back and tell the king of Tang to see whether he cares about the various taxes that are less than one-tenth of the Tang country, or the people of the Tang country!"

Li Ke stood up and spoke lightly.

The various conditions he just offered are almost one-tenth of Tang's annual tax, or even less than one-tenth.

However, for Li Er, it must be very painful to take out this tenth.

But, is it to save the people, or take out something to exchange for coal...

That's Li Er's problem.

Li Ke returned this moral kidnapping issue to Li Er.

Treat others with their own way!
When Li Ke returned to the imperial study, Wu Meiniang said:

"Your Majesty, if Li Erzhen takes out what you want, are you going to..."

Li Ke said: "It is natural to teach them how to find and distinguish coal."

Wu Meiniang couldn't help laughing: "Such a simple method has exchanged so many things, Your Majesty, you really know how to do business."

"I mainly want to play tricks on Li Er. Doesn't he like to put on a show? I satisfy him and let him put on a show. He paid some price to save the people. Isn't that a success in showing off?

As for how angry and regretful he is when he finds out that it is so easy to get coal after paying the price, that is his business, I am happy to see it! "

Li Ke smiled with a dark belly. In this matter, he obviously took Li Er's arrangements properly again.

Also added a sentence:
"Send someone to spread the news in the country of Tang. Just say:
Long Guo is willing to give Tang Guo the method of coal, but it costs a lot of money for Long Guo to find and distinguish coal.Therefore, I hope that the method of exchanging coal with Tang Guo can be normal, it depends on whether Li Ertong agrees..."

Wu Meiniang nodded, looked at Li Ke and said:
"Your Majesty wants to use the public opinion of the people to put pressure on Li Er."

"Otherwise, how can he be sure of him?" Li Ke laughed.

……

Let's talk about Cheng Yaojin.

On the way back to Tang country quickly, he went to see Li Er without stopping.

Lizheng Hall.

After Cheng Yaojin told the story, Li Er was immediately angry:
"What? He Li Ke has such a big appetite, 200 million taels of silver, 100 million bolts of silk, 200 million pieces of cloth, and 50 tons of cotton! This is almost comparable to my Tang Dynasty's tax in January..."

Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty, this coal is beneficial to the country and the people, and the Dragon Kingdom is not easy to come by. It is normal to ask for such a request in exchange...

If you want to get such an important thing from Longguo without paying anything, it is obviously unrealistic..."

The implication of Cheng Yaojin's words is obviously to say again: You can't prostitute something for nothing, right?
Li Er really planned to go whoring for nothing, took a deep breath and said:
"Don't want me to pay such a price, you spread the news, saying that the Dragon Kingdom is not willing to give me the coal method of the Tang Kingdom!"
