Chapter 533

Her original intention was to help, but if she didn't help and instead created trouble, that wouldn't be good.

"Okay... then I'll just continue being my Sweet Song Princess."

With a helpless look of lowering her head and sighing, she was very cute.

Qin Mu rubbed her little head.

"Why does being a Sweet Song Princess seem so difficult?"

"Even if others work for a lifetime, they might not have your achievements."

"You're still so unhappy; aren't you going to make others angry?"

Hearing Qin Mu say this, Princess Changle finally became happy again.

She proudly lifted her little face.

"I am a genius!"

"And I have a better genius brother-in-law secretly helping me behind the scenes."

"Who told them they don't have such a good brother-in-law!"

Qin Mu laughed out loud.

Having a little smart aleck Wu Li Ke Princess Changle by his side indeed made people much happier.

But to let her be a Sweet Song Princess for a lifetime would be too monotonous.

Not to mention that Princess Changle might not be willing, even Qin Mu couldn't agree to it.

Qin Mu pinched Princess Changle's little face.

"Headhunting recruitment is a new industry; you can write it into your songs to help your mother promote it."

"With the reputation of our Sweet Song Princess, you can let the whole world understand this matter at once!"

"Can it be done Wu Li Ke that?"

Princess Changle blinked her eyes and suddenly became happy.

So, she could also help her mother in such a way.

Qin Mu nodded.

"Princess Changle, your songs are actually a very powerful weapon."

"You must learn to use this weapon, and you can help your brother-in-law accomplish many things."

This was the first time Qin Mu had talked to Princess Changle about the power of music.

The previous Qin Mu didn't want to use such an innocent and cute little girl.

But not using her also meant she wouldn't find a sense of achievement.

Letting her help do things would instead make her find her own value and be happier. "Hmm, brother-in-law, I know."

"I want to make good use of my songs to do things other women can't do!"

In an instant, Qin Mu felt Princess Changle had grown up.

The envoys of the four nations in Chang'an, from initially not knowing each other to now engaging in intrigue.

Li Er felt more and more that this was the way he liked it.

When it came to intrigue, who could compare to the Great Tang?

From the beginning of the Great Tang's uprising, it had been accompanied by intrigue all the way.

After he and the Arab Prophet Moke Mo schemed against the Byzantine Prince Kronos, they were in no hurry to return to Jin Ling to arrange manpower.

Li Er felt that perhaps they could still discuss something else with Byzantium?

Being two-faced is the true nature of intrigue.

He took Fang Fang Xuanling with him to Kronos's room.

"Your Highness, congratulations on gaining so many benefits in the Great Qin this time; after you return, your position as crown prince will surely be stable." Sure enough, Kronos laughed happily.

In this world, no matter which dynasty, they all faced the same difficulty.

That is, the emperor has many children, but there is only one position for the crown prince.

Kronos was clearly very comfortable with this flattery from Li Er.

The prince, who had little experience in the world, probably didn't understand the hypocrisy of the Central Plains officialdom and took this as Li Er's sincere words.

"Old Li, you came to find me, what is the matter?"

"Let's be clear in advance, except for the matter of high-quality ironware, other things can be discussed."

The honest prince stated his bottom line first.

Li Er was not surprised by this.

"Your Highness, that you can obtain high-quality ironware is your ability; I can only admire it."

"However, I came to talk to you not because of the high-quality ironware."

"You also know that our Great Tang has a lot of farmland and needs a large number of cattle and horses."

"This time I came to you, just to ask, is it possible to establish a cattle and horse trade with the Great Tang?"

Cattle and horse trade?

Kronos clearly hadn't expected that the Great Tang envoy would propose this?

Byzantium was not short of cattle and horses, but the distance between them and the Great Tang was too far!

One was in the northwest, the other in the southeast, and the land route in between had to cross ten thousand miles of the Great Qin's territory.

If they took the water route, it was even more troublesome; they hadn't found a water route that could reach the Great Tang yet!

Transportation was really too difficult!

Kronos asked puzzledly.

"Old Li, you bought cattle and horses, how are you going to transport them back to Jiangnan?"

This was a problem.

Li Er wouldn't be stumped by this question.

After some deliberation between him and Fang Fang Xuanling, they had already found a feasible path.

"We can pass through the territory of Kievan Rus, to the easternmost part of the Luo Wilderness, and then use ships to transport them to the Great Tang."

This statement seemed quite absurd.

Kronos still had the sense of smell of a merchant.

He frowned and said.

"Old Li, according to the method you mentioned, this road is more than ten thousand miles long; the sickness on the road, plus the feed, all cost a lot of money."

"And Kievan Rus has a bad relationship with our Byzantium."

"This business, I'm afraid it's not cost-effective."

Kronos was not a fool either.

The plan proposed by Li Er was clearly difficult to execute.

Kronos had the intention of retreating in the face of difficulties.

But Li Er did not give up and continued to persuade.

"Your Highness, you don't know the price of the cattle we buy now!"

"The Great Tang is completely surrounded by the Great Qin and can only buy from the Great Qin's hands."

"They use this advantage to raise prices on the spot, wanting to sell them to us for twenty taels of silver each!"

Li Er's crying poverty really had an effect.

As soon as Kronos heard the price of the cattle the Great Tang was buying, his eyes lit up.

The Great Tang, this big sucker, would actually buy such expensive cattle!

In Byzantium, they wouldn't even cost one tael of silver in the market.

There was a huge profit margin here!

Kronos's attitude changed immediately.

"In that case, it's not a problem; I'll only sell them to you for ten taels of silver each!"

"However, Kievan Rus has hostility toward me, so you need to go and talk to them yourself." Li Er pretended to be grateful and held Kronos's hand tightly. "Your Highness, you have saved our Great Tang!"

After coming out of the Byzantine Prince's room, Li Er and Fang Fang Xuanling went to the Kievan Rus envoy's side.

They easily persuaded Kievan Rus to allow passage to Byzantium, which could collect some road tolls.

This matter was settled.
