Liu Mei'er said: "You don't have to know what happened! As long as you know that Dahua will be the king of Yangtao in the future, this princess will swear to the god of the grassland that she will ensure that the trade of Lingyun Pass will be open to the maximum, so that the two of you and the eighth prince brother can get the greatest benefits! What you have to do now is to work with Brother Eight Wang, firmly grasp the Yangtao Grassland in your hands, if you can't catch it, it's your own business! ”

Yelu Zi recommended and said: "Lord Toya, the king of Yangtao has been established as the prince, can the restrictions on trade be relaxed more?" ”

Jin Yangyang's eyes were also wide, and he looked at Liu Mei'er.

Shaking her head, Liu Mei'er glanced at the two of them with disappointed eyes, and said: "With King Yangtao's current power, it is true that more restrictions can be relaxed, but after doing so, the ministers will privately say that King Yangtao is too good to Jingyang Kingdom, which will affect King Yangtao's reputation and increase the emperor's suspicion of King Yangtao!" ”

Yelu Zi and Jin Sun nodded regretfully, and then Ye Lu Zi said that "However, if this matter is reported back to Jingyang Kingdom, what will the patriarchs of other tribes think?" They will also ask King Yang Tao to let go of more restrictions. ”

Liu Mei'er smiled and said, "You have to look at the skills of the two of you and the Eighth Prince!" ”

Yelu Zijian and Jin Sun looked at Liu Mei'er with confused eyes, as if asking, "What does this have to do with us?" ”

Deliberately hanging the taste of the two, Liu Mei'er blew the tea that had been cold, took a sip gently, showed a charming smile, and asked, "Do you know how much silver the Yangtao Grassland has earned for the King of Yangtao?" ”

Yelu Zi recommended that he lose a lot of money, and he calculated it according to the handling fee he paid when gambling, roughly calculated, and said: "200,000 taels per month!" ”

Jin Sun saw Liu Mei'er nodding, and his eyes lit up! At this rate of earning silver, his income is 20,000 taels of silver per month!

Liu Mei'er asked again: "Now it's just back to the original level, and just relying on the tax collected from the transaction, you can get 10,000 taels a month." On the surface, only 7,000 taels of the 10,000 taels of silver belong to my Jingyang Kingdom, and after removing the hardships of the army and the income of those officials who manage the grassland, it is impossible to be wrong to leave 5,000 taels! Then it was distributed among the tribes, and on average, the income of each tribe was only 200 taels of silver! ”

"yes, that's too little! More restrictions have to be lifted! The more merchants come, the more people gamble money, which increases income! Jin Sun answered.

Yelu Zijian nodded, agreeing with Jin Sun's words.

"You can't open a casino right now, you have to make everyone think that you can only buy a small amount of things in the trading area! Since then, all tribes feel that there is no oil and water in the Yangtao grassland, and even if there is, there is not much! In this way, everyone will not compete with you for the interests of Yangtao Grassland! When the three of you completely control the Yangtao Grassland, then the Yangtao King will let go of the restrictions, and the Yangtao Grassland will already be yours at that time, and others will have no chance to get involved! Now that King Yangtao has released all the restrictions, and each tribe thinks that they can get 10,000 taels of silver per month, will they fight with you? It's possible to fight! ”

Yelu Zijian and Jin Sun suddenly realized, and sighed at the same time: "It makes sense!" ”

"So, what you have to do now is to take the agreement signed by King Yangtao to you, return to Jingyang Kingdom as soon as possible, and explain the situation of King Yangtao very pitiful, so that everyone feels that there is no oil and water to fish in the Yangtao grassland. It's winter now, and the people of Jingyang Kingdom don't come to Lingyun Pass, and the tribes will be many days late when they get the news that King Yangtao has become the prince, so you have to use this time to get things done! When the spring flowers bloom and the restrictions are lifted, you just sit in the Yangtao grassland and count the silver! ”

Yelu Zixuan and Jin Sun nodded thoughtfully, and immediately arranged the return trip, preparing to go back early and grasp the Yangtao Grassland in their hands.

Now that Xu Zhilan is in charge of the country as the prince, it is enough to sign a cooperation agreement between the two countries directly with Liu, and he can't wait for the envoy of Jingyang to get out of here and do this thing as quickly as possible.

Xu Zhiyuan got a fief and had no place to live in Jinling, so he took Su Rui and others to Qingyun County on the fourth day of the junior high school.

On the afternoon of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Princess Luoyang went to Qu'an County with her injuries.

Guo Gonggong followed Xu Zhilan back to the East Palace, he saw Xu Zhilan's face worried, and asked, "I don't know why Your Highness is worried?" ”

"My father has always trusted this king, and he sent letters back and forth to Mianyang, afraid that something would go wrong on the way, and some things were said vaguely and it was inconvenient to elaborate. Therefore, the king did not mention the specific method in sending Princess Chongyang to Goryeo, and the father did not ask. Even why Liu Mei'er married this king, her father didn't ask! ”

"Your Highness and Your Majesty are a family, Your Majesty believes in Your Highness, isn't this normal?"

After hesitating for a while, Xu Zhilan felt that the time had come, and used this opportunity to reveal the man's identity to Xu Zhao, he tried his best to help Xu Zhao settle the current chaos, and Xu Zhao forgave him for the crime of bullying the king!

"Gonggong Guo, in fact, this king is not a woman, but a man!"

When Xu Zhilan stared at Gonggong Guo and said this, he found that Gonggong Guo did not look surprised, and he subconsciously added: "Father already knows?" ”

Guo Gonggong didn't expect Xu Zhilan to suddenly admit his identity as a man, sighed, and said: "The emperor has indeed known His Royal Highness's identity as a man for a long time, and he has known it since Wang Qiuyan's time. ”

Although Xu Zhilan had suspected it for a long time, when he heard Guo Gonggong say it, he still opened his mouth wide and closed it after two or three seconds.

"Why did the father ......?"

"What His Highness wants to ask, the slave doesn't know. Your Majesty asked the servants to protect His Highness's safety, and when the time was right, he told His Highness: 'In the first drawer of the second row of the third cabinet on the second floor of the study, there are two copies of the instructions that have been written long ago for Your Highness. ’”

Xu Zhilan was stunned, turned around and walked towards Xu's study.

Guo Gonggong followed, took out the key to open the drawer, and took out two rolls of yellow silk holy decree.

Xu Zhilan opened it and saw that the first holy decree was written to forgive him for the crime of deceiving the king, and the date was after the return of Xu Zhilan through Chuanhe; The second is written that after the birth of Xi'er'er and Xu Zhilan's child, he inherited Yangtao County, and the date of payment was on the day when Xu Zhilan received the good news from Xi'er.

"Could it be that I helped the emperor set an example, and the emperor was grateful, so he spared my life?" Xu Zhilan thought so in his heart.

I wanted to take the two holy decrees in my arms and take them away, but after thinking about it, Xu Zhilan felt that this thing should not be taken away, and if Liu Mei'er saw it when I took it home, it would be a big trouble! So, he handed over the holy decree to Gonggong Guo and put it in a drawer and locked it.
