206 Inspiration
As soon as Gao Zixin was excited, he ordered someone to announce Qian Bi to enter the palace to meet him.
Qian Bi hasn't been very busy lately, to be exact, since Gao Zixin handed him the seeds of the Tree of Life, Qian Bi has tried to keep himself less busy.
Strange to say, he was quite skeptical when he looked at the sprout, and he couldn't believe that it could grow into a tree and give birth to a child. But since Zheng Yuan came back from the island country, the sprouts that were originally growing slowly suddenly began to grow wildly!
It wasn't like this at first, but one time when they accidentally got a little inappropriate next to the sprout, the sprout suddenly seemed to be stimulated, and on that day, it actually grew green leaves!
It's not the original petal, it's the real leaf! Two tiny leaves wrap around a smaller leaf bud, looking verdant and cute.
At first, Qian Bi thought it was a coincidence, but after Zheng Yuan found out, he had to say no, and he was very excited to pull him a few more times.
Qian Bi was not very happy at first, but was later persuaded by Zheng Yuan.
Ahem, it's just a tree anyway, even if you put it next to it, it's nothing, right?
Who knows, Zheng Yuan really guessed it! Ever since the pot of sprouts was placed in their bedroom, it had grown wilder and wilder.
It hasn't been long since Zheng Yuan came back, and it turns out that the poor sprouts have actually grown into the prototype of a small tree, which is really not easy!
When Gao Zi Xin Xuan Qian Bi entered the palace, Qian Bi was looking at the little tree and was stupid.
He looked at the small tree that had just taken shape, and couldn't help but think that it would give birth to a child of him and Zheng Yuan in the future, and he couldn't help but smirk when he imagined the appearance of that child.
He is the one who has seen Bao'er, and he is one of the few people who knows Bao'er's origin. He didn't believe it before, but since the tree of life grew wildly, Qian Bi gradually believed it.
Even sometimes when he sleeps and dreams, he can dream that the tree of life is blooming, and a white and chubby doll crawls out of it, stretches out his arms for him to hug, and sweetly calls him "Daddy".
It's a pity that the happy days are too short, no, he hasn't rested for a few days, His Majesty is going to see him again!
Being valued by Gao Zixin, of course Qian Bi was also happy, but when he thought of separating from the Tree of Life, he felt extremely reluctant.
However, no matter how reluctant he was, it was still important to have official business, so Qian Bi ordered someone to guard the bedroom, and after not allowing anyone to approach, he was reluctant to enter the palace step by step.
Although he complained in his heart, Qian Bi still saluted obediently after seeing Gao Zixin.
Gao Zixin didn't bother to wait for him to salute, and directly interrupted him: "Okay, you sit down first, I have an important task for you to do." ”
Qian Bi's nerves tightened, and at the same time, his face was solemn, and he quickly finished saluting, and then found a chair and sat down: "Your Majesty, please command." ”
Gao Zixin was quite unaccustomed to seeing him serious, but he had been thinking about the fleet going to sea at this time, so he didn't talk to Qian Bi more politely.
He said directly: "Qian Bi, do you remember what I told you about going to sea before?" ”
Qian Bi's face changed, and his eyes lit up slightly: "What does Your Majesty mean...... Could it be that the time is ripe? ”
Since Qian Bi returned from Lingnan, Gao Zixin arranged for someone else to be in charge of the shipyard. After all, the warships built later were very important, and unlike ordinary merchant ships and fishing boats, they should not be negligent at all.
Therefore, Qian Bi did not know the progress of the shipyard at all.
But after all, Gao Zixin mentioned to him about going to sea, and roughly said that the time is not ripe now, and the key sea ship has not yet been built.
So as soon as Gao Zixin mentioned it, Qian Bi guessed it.
He was also clever, knowing that today's shipyard was very sensitive, so he deliberately didn't mention it, but changed his words to test Gao Zixin's meaning.
Gao Zixin was quite satisfied with his knowledge of current affairs, not to mention that the matter of the goods had to be handed over to Qian Bi to be responsible, so he didn't hide it, and said directly: "Not yet, but next year it should be possible." So, from now on, you have to be ready. When the time comes, when the fleet is going to go to sea, what goods need to be carried, you draw up a list and show it to me. ”
Now it's not like before, although Gao Zixin is the Son of Heaven, he can't hold all the real power in his hands at all, and there are not many things he can usually handle, so he can think about business matters with his heart, and even remind Qian Bi.
Now it's different, not to mention that he has taken back all the real power, just the developing Lingnan, Northeast, and those mines in the island country have made him have to deal with it.
Especially in the Northeast, there are also those mines in the island nation!
You must know that although Daliang forced the island country to cede land and pay compensation, it was because those island people did not know the existence of the mine, and once they knew, they would definitely make trouble!
Therefore, all the arrangements made by Gao Zixin in the island country later were also aimed at minimizing losses and casualties.
After all, the news can't be kept secret, there will always be a time when it leaks, so those people in the island country must hide the news as much as possible, and take advantage of this time to gather more people, so that even if those clans know about the existence of the mine, they will not dare to act rashly!
Therefore, Gao Zixin had to keep an eye on the movements of the island country.
The same is true in the Northeast, where the Tartars who have been driven away will not give up easily, and may fight back at any time.
There are so many things to deal with, Gao Zixin naturally can't spend his mind on business anymore. He can take big ideas, but for small things like a list of goods, where does he need to pay attention?
So Gao Zixin directly handed over this task to Qian Bi, and Qian Bi didn't dare to complain. He has experienced so much about the matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king, if he is still as useless as before, and Gao Zixin is needed everywhere to mention something, then he doesn't have to sit in the position of director of the General Administration of Commerce, and he can go home directly.
So, Qian Bi honestly received the task and waited for Gao Zixin's next order.
Gao Zixin glanced at him, and said: "Now I don't have so much energy, as the director of the State Administration of Commerce, you should pay attention to the business situation in Daliang, don't slack off." After the list of goods is drawn up, I will take a look at it first, and if there is no problem, I will prepare it according to this when the time comes. If you want to, you can also rent a warehouse when the time comes. ”
Gao Zixin had already figured out that when the fleet went to sea, he would rent some warehouses to go out, which would not only give people favors, but also make a fortune by the way.
Well, even if he is now an increasingly wealthy emperor, Gao Zixin will not be soft when it is time to earn it!
Qian Bi's face changed slightly, and his mood became complicated. I can't help but complain about Gao Zixin's iron rooster temperament that plucked the feathers, and I can't help but be grateful for Gao Zixin's grace!
However, he knew that the other party just wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune, but he was still moved.
This is also where Gao Zixin is clever, he is too slippery in his hand, knowing that he is calculating, but it is convincing, and by the way, he is grateful to Dade.
Qian Bi recalled the sensitive and cautious but cunning young prince who was once like a lake, and then looked at Gao Zixin, who was now developing more and more towards a fox spirit, and his mood couldn't help but become more complicated.
Thinking of the tree of life at home again, Qian Bi's eyes suddenly became wet. He glanced at Gao Zixin with emotion, took a deep look, and solemnly promised before retiring.
So when Feng Xuan came in, what he saw was the triumphant Gao Zixin.
At this time, Gao Zixin completely lost the unfathomable appearance in front of Qian Bi just now, but instead grabbed a small snack and sent it to his mouth, and asked with a fluttering eyebrow: "Feng Xuan, do you think I am becoming more and more wise and martial now?" ”
Suddenly, Feng Xuan's gaze at Gao Zixin was called a complication!
Wise is wise, as for Shenwu...... Feng Xuan swept Gao Zixin's whole body with his gaze recklessly, and silently added in his heart - don't think about it in this life!
He didn't say anything, but his complicated eyes said it all. Gao Zixin was suddenly dissatisfied, Feng Xuan, a bastard, dared to doubt him!
Where is he not wise and martial? Qian Bi was moved by him just now and cried, okay!
But Gao Zixin didn't say this, he was proud just now, if he said it again, it would be too deliberate, Feng Xuan would definitely have to laugh at him.
So he just snorted disdainfully, glanced at Feng Xuan with a look of "you really have no vision", and then continued to look at the excerpt.
Seeing this, Gao Zixin fell in love.
The excerpt in his hand was sent by the head of the Northeast Commerce Bureau, and it contained a proposal to encourage caravans to enter the northern steppes, and to build post stations along the way for caravans to rest.
As soon as Gao Zixin saw this fold, he saw the other party's ambitions.
Maybe it was really the idea of hitting the northern steppes, or maybe it was just written on purpose to get his attention. But I have to say, this man has a lot of ideas.
However, the steppes to the north are not safe, and in order to encourage caravans to go, they must first pack up the dishonest tartars. Otherwise, the caravan will not only lose money, but also lose its life!
Gao Zixin pondered secretly, but the more he thought about it, the farther he went.
The person who wrote the excerpt may not know how big this world is, and he doesn't know that the northern grassland is further north of the Mobei grassland, and then there is the Rakshasa country.
But Gao Zixin knew, so he knew very well that if he could open up a trade route to the Rakshasa Kingdom, it would definitely be profitable at that time.
Originally, he didn't want to fight the Rakshasa Kingdom, after all, the road was far away. But if you build a post station along the way, it is very promising!
With post stations along the way, with caravans, post stations can develop into cities. When the time comes, the girder will be able to expand the territory invisibly!
