Chapter 3 Entering the Imperial Study 2 Again

As a sleek and sophisticated person, he must be cautious!

Yu Xianmin is like this, although the emperor said that business has attracted his attention before Zuo Chen arrived, but he is not sure that the emperor is from the bottom of his heart, Yu Xianmin is worried that the emperor only shows respect for Zuo Chen, after all, the silver donated by Zuo Chen is indeed a business income.

As the emperor said, he doesn't think about working hard and specializing in speculation, and his interests have always relied on skill! It's worth scrutinizing. The idea that "if the peasants are injured, the country will be poor" is already deep-rooted, how can it be easily changed?

"Emperor Qiqi, Weichen is only a small achievement, and he doesn't dare to beg for a reward,...... Wechen ...... There are foreign countries...... Residency Idea ,......"

Zuo Chen, who stammered, really had no confidence in his heart, and looked at the emperor with a spring breeze on his face, and his face slowly turned into astonishment.

Out of a sense of responsibility for the protection of his juniors and the entrustment of Old Man Liu, Yu Xianmin did not dare to give Zuo Chen a hint of encouragement, and hoped that he would be cautious in his words and deeds, even if he slowed down, to see that the emperor did not make a decision out of sincerity in business. It backfired, and under the urging of the emperor, he finally brought Yu Xianmin's heart and liver to his throat. At this time, seeing the emperor's face change, he was sweating profusely in an instant, trembling slightly and slowly closing his eyes.

Pan Xiangye, who had nothing to do with himself and watched the play, also widened his eyes and frowned.

"The silver taels earned can be replenished to the national treasury for the needs of Da Antai from time to time, and it can also improve people's livelihood ......"

I expected the emperor to hesitate, but I didn't expect his expression to be so vivid, Zuo Chen hurriedly threw out the biggest bottom line, because of the anxious sense of urgency, so that the speed of speech was as fast as "big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate".

It has been a long time since such a vivid expression has been displayed, but Zuo Chen has no time to take care of appreciation, and he can't help but feel anxious and uneasy, looking left and right at the looks of the three people in front of him. The emperor, like a stupid duck stretching his neck under the thunderstorm in June, was dazed and at a loss for what to do, which made Zuo Chen even more anxious. Zuo Chen, who was like a lamb to be slaughtered, touched his face, there were no imaginary reptiles, and his hands were full of sweat.

After a long time, the emperor broke the situation where the needle could be heard with a light cough, "I ...... I think it's a good proposition! ”

Yu Xianmin turned his head mechanically, and he could vaguely hear the creaking sound coming from his neck, and years of experience told him that the emperor was not hypocritical, if he was not cautious, he could conclude that the emperor was sincere.

"Rong Zhen will think about it carefully and then make a decision!"

"Holy ,...... Careful! Pan Xiang said hesitantly.

As everyone knows, doing business is not only not as secure as cultivating the land, but also exacerbates the loss of labor from the land, and the subjective consciousness of "the people regard food as the sky" is directly related to the rise and fall of the country.

"I think it's understandable, let alone full of Da'an Thai strength. Pan Xiang...... doesn't he also have a good plan? ”

"This ...... is a loss of the idea of governing the country based on agriculture, and I am afraid that it will ...... Fear of losing your dignity. "Pan Xiang used to be the master who climbed up the pole, and when he heard the unbelievable proposition of the foreign businessman, he couldn't accept it.

Stretching out his hand to signal Pan Xiang to say nothing, the emperor asked Zuo Chen, "I, I want to hear your specific ideas." ”

Licking his lips, Zuo Chen pondered that he would lose if he said too much, but he was still cautious in his words and deeds, "Your Majesty, I just feel that I have a feeling about this trade with foreign merchants, and I haven't thought about it in detail, but I just think that foreign merchants are profitable, thinking that as long as it is not a shortage of trade materials, ordinary daily necessities should be fine...... and Wei Chen is stupid, please ask the Holy Lord to show me." ”

Listening to Zuo Chen's words, Yu Xianmin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw the emperor nodding in approval, he couldn't help but feel that his heart and liver were finally implemented.

"The way of doing business is despised by the world's scholars, its likes and dislikes are not thinking about hard work, and the second is that businessmen are stingy with money and refuse to give charity and sympathize with the people. Taking this as a reference, as you said, it will be filled into the treasury in case of the needs of Daantai and improve the people's livelihood, I think it is ...... It works! ”

With the emperor's thoughts, Zuo Chen's measures are tantamount to pies falling from the sky, which is essentially different from other domestic merchants who wantonly plundered silver, from the plundering of foreign lands to the silver of other countries to fill the Great Antai, and the war can buy grain, grass, horses and many weapons and many other materials, reducing the production pressure of the country, thereby reducing the contradiction between the court and the people, why not? Of course, the premise is that the foreign merchants can achieve sufficient benefits.

Pan Xiang secretly shook his head, he had a lot of doubts about the emperor's words, and looked at the eyes of his protΓ©gΓ© Yu Xianmin, and couldn't help but be complicated, and said in his heart, such a major matter was not revealed yesterday, is it that he knows nothing? took a deep breath, and said to Xianmin without hesitation: "I see that you have been thinking about it for a long time, do you have any opinions?" ”

smiled meaningfully, and the emperor was also interested, "Lord Yu, if you have an opinion, it doesn't matter!" ”

Yu Xianmin is naturally familiar with the teacher's eyes, but he smiled bitterly in his heart but was helpless, and the emperor couldn't answer satisfactorily if he made peace with him. According to the emperor's intentions, it will inevitably embarrass the teacher, and if you follow the teacher's words, it will undoubtedly make the emperor feel guilty, and it is more likely that the emperor will not like it! When he was hesitating, Zuo Chen relieved him in time.

"Holy Lord, Weichen has something to say, please be gracious!"

"I'm right, I'll speak."

"The saint has a cloud, 'know yourself and know your enemy, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles!'. If the merchants stationed in foreign regions can be supplemented by secret agents, they can spy on the military layout and many detailed geography, and give back to the Ministry of War for the record......"

"Good!" The emperor didn't know what kind of thoughts he was thinking, and a compliment interrupted Zuo Chen's words, patted the bookcase and got up, walked to the bookcase with his hands behind his back and said: "At present, it's just a paper talk, everything is put into practice first to ensure the success of the businessman, the problem you can think of, I believe that the foreigners must also be able to think about it, how to succeed in the foreign business, is what you should think about." ”

……

Yu Xianmin, who was silent, completely relieved his heart, so it seemed that the emperor had agreed with Zuo Chen's idea, and was faintly happy for Zuo Chen in his heart, smiling at his teacher, raising his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

The emperor continued: "Doing business together, although it is not welcomed by the world, is indispensable. Food, clothing, shelter and transportation are the necessities of life, even if the people can be guaranteed to be self-sufficient, many literati, officials, eunuchs, soldiers and other people have no time to work, and they can't go hungry while fighting on the battlefield! Inadvertently glanced at Pan Xiang, and the emperor said: "Suppressing business is to teach the best of the land, so as not to make the country poor and the poor and luxurious." Nowadays, I am rich and strong in Thailand, and I should reserve the needs of the time in time, so it is imperative to do business in foreign countries! ”

From the emperor's words, the three of them all heard the clue, since buying and selling cannot be prohibited, there is the inevitability of existence, the needs of the people have the need to advocate development, and the ability to fill the treasury for emergencies should be the main reason for the emperor's motivation.

In the future, everyone can't know everything, and it is the duty of a courtier to be cautious in his words and deeds around the emperor's intentions, but I don't know what kind of measures the emperor will take after careful consideration. The emperor and Zuo Chen are both full of ambition and confidence, Yu Xianmin and Pan Xiangye are slightly different, but they are full of wait-and-see thoughts. When leaving the imperial study, the emperor's promise to allow Zuo Chen to enter the palace at any time made the two even more embarrassed.

"Tell me, what's going on in the restaurant?" Back at the General's Mansion, Yu Xianmin, who had just sat down, was impatient.

"Well, that ......, there's no particular reason, it's like ...... Just like the Imperial Study. ”

Zuo Chen looked at his cousin slyly, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, since his uncle asked with a solemn face, he must not believe what he said before. can instigate his cousin to make trouble with himself in the restaurant, and at this time he is lying to his uncle, Zuo Chen is really not sure that he can get through the trick.

"Let's be honest! …… Even if it's ...... If there is a mistake, uncle, I will not be overly criticized, after all, the emperor has no objections! ”

Yu Xianmin is indeed helpless about Zuo Chen in front of him, and his father-in-law is helpless against him, why do he have to wade into troubled waters? What's more, the emperor has a good eye for it. All he needs is a word of truth to judge the conjecture in his heart, and that's enough!
