"You mean to say that you have some rare stones, but the art of turning stones into gold is in the hands of this king. Zhao Yanheng sat on the seat of the yellow sand embroidered miscellaneous treasures, his hands spread out to both sides and leaned back, there was a little bit of suppression in it.

A dignified son, you can't fall behind in front of Fanbang Xiaowang, can you?

He Zhao Yanheng is short of some silver, Chen Jieqi is a golden basin in Guangxi, a group of subordinates have to be raised, a Yiwei lieutenant only has a lot of money a year, and in the long run, Chen Jieqi is also short of silver. Now there is a scarce source of goods, a channel for sales, carefully discussing the synthesis of a group, it is beneficial for both parties, but how to talk about it here, every foot has to be explored before stepping on it.

Chen Jieqi said with a wry smile: "Shangguo has taken advantage of the situation, Mrs. Liao is still a relative of the Marquis of Taining, and I and other small people outside the country really have no place to stand." ”

The better the things, you have to send them to the rich and noble, but there is no backstage at all, so you take the things out? Chen Jieqi set foot in Guangxi for the first time when he was a teenager, he heard a public case, that person is still a lifting person, the family has passed down a few fans from the ancestors, painted with famous paintings, worth thousands of gold, and later the local prefect changed, said that he loves famous paintings, he heard about the old man's fan, he insisted on taking it to appreciate it, and he did not return it after appreciating, saying that it was a few broken fans and lost a twenty taels of silver to take it for himself, and the old man vomited a mouthful of blood, and went to see the ancestors.

This is still famous, and a few fans can ruin the family. In the years when the kingdom and Ayutthaya did not trade, and suppressed all sides of Annam, in the years when they captured Annam, from the nobles of the Chen family to the common people at the bottom, not all of them were looted, and who sat down with whom to negotiate business on an equal footing.

The Buddha is compassionate, if he can't get rid of the evil thoughts of the world, then it is also a way to fight evil with evil. But this road is also difficult, the family of the powerful in the kingdom has its own circle, he can only make a small fuss at the bottom, to go up, the top is to squint at people, first lose the fairness of the transaction, so it is difficult to open the situation after a few moves.

Li Yue is a wealthy wife to him, and Zhao Yanheng is so proud of him that he couldn't be more proud. Now is the time to gamble on character, Chen Jieqi didn't say about meat pieces and broth, compared three fingers, and said: "My things are in your hands, we divide the account three seven, I three, you seven!"

Zhao Yanheng still has a character, and said: "I take so much, in your eyes, there is no difference between it and those powerful people who take it by force." ”

"Where can it? Chen Jieqi smiled sincerely, revealing the demeanor of his royal family, and said: "Your Highness asked Xiao Wang a long time ago, and asked Xiao Wang what he wanted to get?

"And then?" Zhao Yanheng asked solemnly, starting from the dragon's skill is not the end, just the beginning.

The soft sunlight reflected the arrogance on Chen Jieqi's face, and Chen Jieqi said: "Ayutthaya is a very good country, territory, army, and population is in a very good state of survival, which is better than the Jinla, Java, Chonggara, and Manraka around Ayuthaya. It has majestic Buddhist temples, magnificent palaces, and its royal city means impregnable in Khmer characters. In Ayuthaya, where mountains and forests meet the sea, where the north and the south are connected, and the trade of seafood and grain is endless, Xiao Wang, as Ayutthaya's successor, should maintain this prosperity and prosperity. ”

Saying that, Chen Jieqi picked up the delicate blue and white porcelain teacup, and said humbly: "However, the people of Shangguo are outstanding and the treasures of the heavens, and how prosperous and prosperous Ayutthaya is in Nanyang cannot be compared with Shangguo." For the kingdom of God, Ayutthaya is the country is small and the people are weak, and there are too many things to rely on, such as this drinking utensils and tea leaves placed in the water. ”

The imperial court set up a city shipping department in Guangzhou to manage maritime trade, and all kinds of materials of trade are subject to the strictest control of the imperial court, it can be said that it was monopolized by the imperial court, if the people compete with the imperial court for this piece of interests, the imperial court will send sailors to recover, confiscate the goods, and detain the personnel, for which how many people are in exile overseas, and are called pirates by the imperial court.

It is a matter of national policy, even Chen Jieqi also said carefully, and said: "The territory of the Shangguo is vast, the land is not broad, and you can disdain the trade of the Nanyang countries, but the Nanyang countries are small and the products are not abundant, so there must be a transaction to maintain, so after the Seventh Highness inherits the throne, can you trade more with Ayuthaya." ”

Seriously, through the city of Bosi, the emperor put a town guard eunuch there, and under the layers of exploitation, this business has not to be done. For the sake of this layer, Chen Jieqi did not take the sea route but took the land route, and the underworld and white roads in Guangxi were mixed with one foot, which road can be taken one step to take one foot, he was a thief, the government called it a thief, and he never thought so.

Zhao Yanheng smiled heartily: "In Ayuthaya, the coins used for trading are not the Longshuo Tongbao coins of this dynasty. ”

Chen Jieqi nodded reverently. Even if he compared the strength of Ayutthaya and the Nanyang countries before, a country can't even mint coins, and compared with the upper country, it is a small witch to see a small witch, and the difference between height and height is huge, and it cannot be compared.

"The son doesn't say anything about the father, why does the father handle the state affairs so much, this king can't say anything more to you. If it is a fluke, the king will inherit the throne, what you said before is right, this king is a little ambitious, but the emperor and the scholar rule the world together, and the emperor is not the emperor alone who has the final say, not to mention that the king wants to change the national policy set by the father, I have to move out of the ancestral training in the inside and outside, and I want to suppress the opposing forces one by one, the promise you want, I promise you to you now, and I have to think about it in the long run. ”

Zhao Yanheng said every word very carefully, from the prince to the emperor, it is not the end, it is another journey. Take the previous life as an example, in the third year of his accession to the throne, those opposing forces dared to assassinate the king in the paddock, which shows his difficulty in handling the government, that must be because his ideas touched the interests of too many people, so that the next group of people gathered together to change an emperor and an emperor who could listen to them.

His journey was sprinkled with Li Fei's blood, and there was sadness diffused between Zhao Yanheng's eyebrows, and then Zhao Yanheng's eyes became deep, and said: "Governing the country is like walking with a ship, it is now the twenty-seventh year of Yuanyou, and after a few decades, the ship has become accustomed to going downstream, and after this king succeeds to the throne, it is to turn the bow of the ship and go upstream." ”

Chen Jieqi smiled and said, "Your Highness is a person with a clear and courageous heart. Xiao Wang is a person with a clear eye and a wide heart. ”

The current old emperor is still alive, and he doesn't know how long he will be the emperor alive, Chen Jieqi doesn't need Zhao Yanheng to promise anything now, he and Li Yue are about to become husband and wife, with this relationship, he is very relieved that he doesn't know how many years will be able to fulfill the promise.

After some earnest talk, Chen Jieqi looked at His Royal Highness King Xiang is more and more pleasing to the eye, this is not the whole one, but also half of the son-in-law, with the help of this title, it can help him achieve hegemony in Nanyang, so that Ayutthaya is in a transcendent position in many countries.

Zhao Yanheng's eyes on Chen Jieqi were unpleasant, he naturally knew the reason for Chen Jieqi's heart, and said, "Don't be too proud, Mrs. Li has been separated from each other." If you can get away with it once, you can get away with it for the second time, not to mention that it's a big deal, and sweeping the son-in-law out of the house without a word is much simpler than getting away. ”

Chen Jieqi's long-standing worries were exposed by Zhao Yanheng, and he said with a sad face: "I have no choice, I look at the precedent of the previous dynasty and relatives, leaving home and going to the country, all of them are miserable and miserable." If I tell the truth, it will be impossible to cut off my marriage with Ah Yue. ”

Zhao Yanheng gloated a little and said with a smile: "Who is your Mr. Sinology? ”

"It's an old boy who has failed many times, and even Xiucai didn't pass the exam. There were many sarcastic words, which made His Highness laugh. Having said that, Chen Jieqi had a deep worry, and said: "I told Ah Yue, I am a descendant of the Chen royal family, my mother is the princess of the Chen family, I have at least half of the truth, and the other half is not true, I think no one can know, how does Your Highness know?"

Zhao Yanheng knew it, if he let others know, he would make a big fuss, Chen Jieqi said uneasily: "Please also ask Your Highness for guidance." ”

What can you point? Zhao Yanheng pretended to be an old god, and said: "I inadvertently got a little clue, and I found you out with bold speculation, and others don't have the ability to do this." But your identity, since it is true and false, you have to take care of your people and don't leak it out again. ”

There is no need for Zhao Yanheng to remind him, Chen Jieqi will check and fill in the gaps when he turns around, and knock his identity into the truth, Chen Jieqi reluctantly said: "My identity is not fake, more than ten years ago, the real Chen Jieqi was also my cousin, and he has passed away, and I am Chen Jieqi from now on." ”

"So what you said, you have no family background, no wife and no children, this is the truth like real gold, right?"

Zhao Yanheng doesn't know everything, he has a common problem with men, he can only see the front and not the back, when Chen Jieqi came to the dynasty in his previous life, he already had a queen, and he was twenty-six years old last year, which is really not small, stop his wife and marry again?

Chen Jieqi raised his head, his eyes were tea gold, and if he looked closely, he was still slightly different from the Han people, and he said solemnly: "I swear by the royal power of Ayuthaya, this is the truth." ”

He is not married at the age of twenty-six, there is something unspeakable, so I will not say it carefully, he swears by royal power, it is already the heaviest oath, and after solemnly speaking, he smiled bitterly: "Sooner or later, one day, I will tell Ah Yue the truth, and I hope that His Royal Highness will say a good word or two for me at that time." ”

Zhao Yanheng didn't accept this kind of talk, and prevaricated: "Let's talk about it then." ”

After talking for too long, the original bright sun has turned into a drizzle. Chen Jieqi walked out of the house, and Li Yue stood alone on the porch, holding an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and a robe in the other, watching the raindrops form a curtain.

"That's it. Li Yue didn't ask Chen Jieqi what she and Zhao Yanheng talked about, so she asked Chen Jieqi to lower her head, and she put a hat on him.

Chen Jieqi lowered his head, his eyes were hot, and he raised his hand to quietly wipe it away.

Zhao Yanheng opened the window and saw the two of them going together.
