Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Because there were too many things to do, Li Shen forgot about this matter and never paid attention to it.

Today, when he saw all the leaders, he remembered.

He was about to leave, so this matter had to be implemented, and he had already made the preliminary preparations.

If it cannot be implemented, then all the efforts will be in vain.

He hesitated for so long before finally deciding to let a group of rebels go, and then eliminate most of the rebels to deter other rebels.

It is already July now, and the cotton harvest will begin in just over a month, and his plan can be implemented then.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, we have already gone to modify the contract, but some families disagree, and some want to take back the deposit and terminate the contract.

They said they would have to write back and ask before they could give us a reply.”

One person stood up and bowed to report that they went to the gathering place to find their respective buyers to revise the contract.

It was a pity that they were powerless and the noble families would never pay attention to them. In the end, they had to bring up Prince Ji.

They said that King Ji went to their tribe and wanted to buy it at a high price, so someone revise the contract with them. Anyway, it’s okay to just accept it in the end, it’s not a breach of contract.

However, after some people heard the name of King Ji, they immediately felt that there was a conspiracy in this matter and directly refused to modify the contract. Some people even wanted to withdraw out of fear.

After listening to this, Li Shen thought for a while and said:

“It doesn’t matter. If they don’t want to buy it, I will buy it. But if they want to continue buying it, they must modify the contract according to what I say.

Also, don’t say that I gave it to you, just say that it was the result of your discussion.”

Li Shen also anticipated that after his intervention, some smart people would think of conspiracy.

Just like Zhang Sun Wuji and others.

Li Shen's pressure was actually to take advantage of the information gap, betting that the shopkeeper here would be anxious.

It would take at least a month to travel from Xizhou to Chang'an City and back, and they don't have the speed of communication as the imperial court and Prince Ji's Mansion.

Cotton harvesting will begin in more than a month, and it is not certain whether they will be able to make it back by then.

The facts were similar to what Li Shen had expected. Most of the shop owners changed their contracts, thinking that as long as they acquired the property, it would be fine.

"Yes, Your Highness Prince Ji, we will do everything according to your orders."

All the leaders immediately bowed and accepted the order, with King Wei Ji following their lead.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

At this time, the stone beside him spoke.

"Come on, everyone, let's eat." Li Shen nodded and picked up his silver chopsticks.

"Your Majesty, we offer a toast to Your Majesty. Your Majesty has come all the way here to relieve the worries of our tribe.

He also led the troops personally to eliminate the rebellion for our tribe. His contribution is great and we are grateful to him.

Today, on behalf of the 200,000 people here, I would like to express my gratitude to His Royal Highness Prince Ji for his kindness."

Qu Zhiping led all the tribal leaders to stand up, hold up their wine glasses and bow to express their gratitude.

"You don't have to do this. This is my duty. I have said what I should say many times.

Come, there is no need to say anything more, everyone, drink this cup with me."

Li Shen picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Li Shen had been playing with the politeness of humility for many days.

Li Shen was fed up with hearing the same few sentences over and over again. He stopped talking and was completely drunk.

Everyone then followed Li Shen and drank the wine in the glass.

Then Qu Zhiping spoke again:

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I have learned that your Highness's guards suffered heavy losses this time, and many of them are buried in foreign lands.

We feel guilty and have collected some money, hoping that His Royal Highness Prince Ji will pass it on to the families of the guards who died in the battle.

I hope His Royal Highness Prince Ji will agree."

As soon as Qu Zhiping finished speaking, Li Shen's face immediately turned serious:

"Shou Qu, what do you mean by this? How can I take your money?

They are all guards of the Prince Ji's Palace. It is their mission to protect the country and keep the peace.

Dying on the battlefield is also the fate of every soldier.

Although they died to protect you, you are also the people of my Great Tang. Don't worry, I will reward you after I return.

Let’s not talk about this matter again.”

“Your Highness Prince Ji has misunderstood. This is just a small token of our gratitude from the common people.

We hope that Your Highness Prince Ji will be merciful and accept it, otherwise we will feel guilty.

Your Highness Prince Ji, please grant it for the sake of the piety of the 200,000 people."

Qu Zhiping had a sad look on his face and begged desperately.

Li Shen remained silent for a long time before he sighed:

"Well, since you insist on doing this, I will agree to your request. I can't let the people down.

Tell me, why are you doing this? The people are not well off.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji, for agreeing. Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Ji, these are just some local specialties and are not worth much."

When Qu Zhiping heard Li Shen's agreement, he was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

"Don't worry, I will send two thousand soldiers to protect you after I return. You can rest assured from now on."

Li Shen thought for a while and said, since you have taken someone else's things, you have to do things for them, right?

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji." Qu Zhiping happily saluted Li Shen again. The original one thousand officers and soldiers were now reduced to two thousand.

This will make them safer, which is not something they can achieve with just the money they have.

Li Shen waved his hand nonchalantly, thinking that he would only help others get rid of their misfortune if he was paid, not to mention that the other party had given him a lot of treasures.

This time, no one was killed in the battle, so all the money went into his pocket.

Li Shen suddenly felt that he was like a corrupt official, and the biggest corrupt official in the Tang Dynasty.

Was he not a good person at heart? Li Shen himself began to doubt himself.

The banquet was similar to the last one. In addition to the banquet, there were also beautiful women dancing. The people here were really good at singing and dancing. Li Shen never doubted it.

Among the beauties, Li Shen also saw Qu Baochang's daughter Aya.

I guess their nation doesn't care about this matter as much as the Central Plains.

The leaders watched Li Shen being served his meal by Wu Meiniang and Liu Ruyan.

It fully demonstrated the elegance of the first nobleman of the Tang Dynasty.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Li Shen put down his glass and said:

"Everyone, tomorrow the King will set off to return to Xizhou."

"Your Highness Prince Ji, why don't you stay here for a few more days?"

"Yes, Your Highness Prince Ji, please stay a few more days."

Upon hearing that Li Shen was leaving, the leaders tried to keep him.

Li Shen shook his head:

"I also want to live here permanently, but unfortunately I have official duties and have been delayed here for a while. I have to go back to Xizhou to check the situation.

Before I came here, I ordered the officers and soldiers of Xizhou Prefecture to encircle and suppress the rebels in the entire Anxi Protectorate. I don’t know how it is going now. I have to go back to take charge of the overall situation. "

(Today I have no reason, I was just lazy and played with my phone too much.)
