Li Heng's actions today were very sudden, which caught the officials off guard. This is exactly what Li Heng wants, to catch the emperor off guard and make the emperor compromise and achieve his goal.

The sound outside the Hanyuan Palace, Li Heng heard it clearly, and he knew that it was Gao Lishi who had entered the palace with the forbidden army.

However, Li Heng didn't care at all! From the moment these people he was coerced on top of the Golden Palace, Li Heng was already invincible!

That's right, there are too many people!

Imperial relatives, honors, military generals, and civil servants account for almost half of the people in the Golden Palace. This is already a force that can influence the situation in the court!

Li Heng's actions today are also the end of his low-key career in the past ten years, and he wants to use this method to declare the world, and from then on teach people to no longer dare to ignore his existence.

It is precisely because of the large number of people that Li Heng has no fear! Although it is sometimes an empty phrase to not blame the public, in today's court, no one can afford the terrible consequences of these people being dealt with, not even the emperor!

Perhaps Li Longji once could, and could use the strength of one person to confront the entire court! Whoever is disobedient will be manipulated, and whoever is not pleasing to the eye will be dealt with. However, Li Longji is now inevitably old! Although his ambition still exists, he is unable to do so, and he no longer has the energy to fight with hundreds of officials......

It is precisely because of this clear understanding that Li Heng dares to do such a thing at such a time!

Originally, victory was in sight, Li Heng predicted that even if the emperor did not compromise on the spot, it would not be long before the stalemate emperor would still let him get his wish, after all, if it dragged on, it would be the entire Li family dynasty that would suffer.

But Li Heng never thought that it would be at such a time!

Xu Fan's performance successfully aroused the discussion of hundreds of officials, and these shrewd officials easily grasped the opportunity of Xu Fanchuang's appearance, and pushed the boat down the river, making this discussion more and more intense, and soon spread throughout the Golden Palace.

At this moment, these people of Li Heng seemed particularly abrupt and out of place. It was soon consciously forgotten......

failed to achieve the goal in one go, and Li Heng launched a challenge to his own Lao Tzu, and he was about to face the danger of dying.

"No! I can't go on like this! I have to do something!" Li Heng shouted in his heart.

"Father, the son also thinks that Xu Xiang's construction is very reasonable, since the idea of compiling the water master is from the loyal heir, then it is better to hand over this matter to the loyal heir!"

Li Heng knew that if he discussed whether he needed to train a sailor at this time, he would only fall into the quagmire of controversy, and it would be useless, so he simply lightly exposed it, directly expounded his opinion, and directly put the matter of arranging a sailor directly on Wang Zhonghe's head, which could be regarded as filling in another matter for him.

These people behind Li Heng are naturally not stupid, seeing that the leader has spoken, how can they not understand?

This time, they were following Li Heng at the risk of pouring the sky, and if they couldn't achieve their goal, they would be greeted by the emperor's monstrous anger. Only after succeeding in making the emperor bow his head and achieve a victory will the situation be reversed.

Compromise is a thing, and after doing it once, it's not so difficult to do it again. And Li Heng, who succeeded in making the emperor bow his head once, will undoubtedly have an unprecedented increase in strength, and at that time, even the emperor himself will not dare to act rashly against him. After all, the emperor is already old......

Xu Fan's sudden waves made these people tremble, and at this moment, seeing that Li Heng intended to quickly expose this matter, how could he not follow immediately?

"The ministers seconded His Royal Highness the Prince!"

One voice after another sounded neatly again, no matter what the result is, the group of people who followed Li Heng's "great rebellion" today can only follow him all the way to the dark in the future.

Li Heng has become a big trend, and it is difficult to shake it!

Just when the hundred officials were once again shocked by the momentum of the princelings, Xu Fan hurriedly spoke up again: "Holy Lord, if you want to train a sailor, you must first have a boat! The rebel sailors are all tall sea ships, and if the imperial court builds a sailor, it can only use sea boats. But now, more than ninety percent of the world's sea ships come from Hongzhou Shipyard......"

Xu Fan once again dropped a bombshell!

Hongzhou Shipyard is an unfamiliar name for many officials above the Golden Palace.

That's because the Southeast Maritime Business Group consciously covered it up, and Wuyue Town, an important town that everyone knows in the southeast, is a term that has never been heard of by the officials in the Golden Palace.

The Southeast Maritime Group, in recent decades, has become more and more powerful with the great wealth brought by maritime trade. However, for these people, the Chang'an court, whose political center is located in the north, knows very little.

At most, the people of Chang'an City only found that there were many rare things such as coral, pearls, tortoiseshell, and ivory on the streets, and there were many more people who came and went to Chang'an, who were dressed in strange clothes, short in stature, and dark-skinned. As far as the court is concerned, it is only in recent years that the proportion of officials from the south has become larger and larger......

It has to be said that the Southeast Maritime Group has done quite well to cover up! The method of making a fortune in a muffled manner is even more perfect, and the Maritime Group has existed for many years, and few outsiders know about it except the people involved.

In fact, it is no wonder that the officials of Chang'an are so sluggish, it is really that the rise of maritime trade is too sudden, and the profits brought are too amazing, so amazing that no one dares to believe it!

Almost all the people of the Tang Dynasty know that the merchants who come and go on the Silk Road are all rich and rival the country. Transporting spices and jewelry from the Western Regions to Chang'an, all of which are worth thousands of gold, and then transporting the silk, tea, and porcelain of the Tang Dynasty back to the Western Regions is another lucrative business.

However, even if a camel team has thousands of camels, after arriving in the Tang Dynasty for thousands of miles, it is not bad to have 100 horses surviving! Along the way, the yellow sand is long and the bandits are crowded, and every qiē and qiē have become a difficulty hindering the exchanges of the merchants, and it is precisely because of the scarcity that the goods can be valuable.

The merchants also knew that they prepared the goods every time with the idea of saving one out of ten, because they knew that after arriving in Datang, these goods would be sold for a hundred or a thousand times the price, which was enough to compensate for the losses on the way.

However, even if a thousand camels could carry the cargo, all the combined weight would only be the weight of a medium-sized sea vessel. The sea route is also unpredictable, although the loss is not lower than that of the land route, but it can't stand the large amount!

A fleet successfully arrived at the sea, bringing back dozens or even hundreds of caravans. The difference in numbers gave the maritime merchants an unparalleled huge advantage. The Tang Dynasty and the surrounding Silla, Wa Kingdom and other Panyu, the demand for treasures in the Western Regions has never been saturated. In the prosperous era of a hundred years, there are more and more rich people, and no matter how many treasures from the Western Regions are transported, they will not worry about selling them at all.

The business model of the maritime merchants was far superior to that of other industries of the era, whether it was agriculture or commerce, and was far less profitable than the maritime trade.

It is precisely because the profits of maritime trade are unprecedented, that even the most brilliant people of this era cannot and cannot believe it until they see it with their own eyes!

The officials of Chang'an may not have heard of the deeds of the Southeast Maritime Merchants for so many years, but just as the elders of the Taiyuan Wang family couldn't believe Wang Xian's remarks at all, most of the Chang'an officials who heard these things laughed and even sneered.

The merchants of the southeast maritime industry are also happy to be idle, and naturally there is no truth to preach everywhere.

For this reason, to this day, although the power of the Southeast Maritime Business Group is not small, it has always been like an iceberg hidden under the water, and no one knows about it.

Xu Fan's words exposed the core of Hongzhou Shipyard, the southeast maritime business group.

In an instant, above the court, the forces belonging to the Southeast Maritime Business Group immediately made a loud alarm!

Whether it was sitting or kneeling, there were people from the Southeast Maritime Business Group, and at this moment, they couldn't care about anything else, and stretched their necks one by one, waiting for Xu Fan's words.

It wasn't until this moment that some vigilant people realized that with Xu Fan's words, the atmosphere in the Golden Palace had changed dramatically again!

Ignorant of the Hongzhou shipyard, they could not understand what this change in atmosphere meant. However, the words "more than ninety percent" in Xu Fan's words still surprised them!

No matter what industry it is, the market share has reached more than ninety percent, which in itself is already an extremely terrifying thing!

At this time, officials had not heard of the word monopoly, but this did not prevent them from evaluating this "more than ninety percent" with their own self-knowledge.

This is the first time that the name of Hongzhou Shipyard has appeared on the Golden Palace, and with that terrifying market share, some officials who are quite familiar with the way of the world immediately asked Xu Fan: "Xu Xiang, are you not mistaken? More than ninety percent?"

Xu Fan has been in Yuzhang for so many years, and he is also very clear about the power of the Southeast Maritime Merchant, and he knows how much risk he will face if he rashly proposes Hongzhou Shipyard at this time. However, compared to the contradiction between the crown prince and the emperor, this risk is nothing at the moment.

"Not bad!" Xu Fan nodded affirmatively, and then said: "Don't forget, where has Xu been all these years?"

Hearing this, everyone remembered that Xu Fan had been in Yuzhang all these years when he was degraded, and Xu Fan, who was born in the imperial history, figured out something, and the credibility must be extremely high!

"How is this possible?......"

There was an official who didn't want to believe it, still muttering to himself.

Everyone in the world knows that old vinegar is produced in Shanxi, and well salt is produced in Shuzhong, jade is produced in Hetian, and porcelain is produced in Fuliang, and the Kunlun slaves in the Western Regions work hardest, and the maidservants of Silla are the most lovely......

"Haha, that's right! Each region has its own customs and specialties, which shows that the Holy Son is above, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so that I can have such rich products. The minister is here, for the saint, for my Tang Dynasty prosperous ten thousand years of congratulations!"

As he spoke, the man bowed down and bowed. Immediately, the bustling, continuous but not at all dense sycophants sounded, compared to the princelings, almost imperceptible to their restrained momentum.

As soon as these people stirred it up, the shocking and tense atmosphere in the Golden Palace just now gradually dissipated.

Yes, it's just a specialty, and I don't think about it. Above the Golden Palace, the officials who had just become nervous breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Xu Fan sighed again for the methods of the Southeast Maritime Business Group.

The Good Keeper, hidden beneath the Nine Lands!
