Lin Haoran faced Jiajing's question, and immediately responded with sincerity: "How dare the minister deceive the emperor, the documents of the Buddha and Johor were also brought to the capital this time, and the minister has already brought the officials of the Siyi Pavilion for inspection, and the documents he signed are true!" And Johor has repaired the book to the Ministry of Rites, confirming that the two countries have made friends! ”

"Get up!" Jiajing's tone softened, and he said with a sincere emotion: "In the past, it was just a sentence of my temperament, and you are making such a fuss!" Now that the Phrayo Guy has made friends with Johor and has turned Malacca City into a lease, then this matter will be stopped, and I will not mention it again in the future! ”

This......

Xu Jie's eyes widened slightly, looking at the emperor in disbelief, is this still the domineering emperor who has never been unreasonable?

"The Emperor Shengming!" Lin Haoran secretly exhaled a turbid breath, gave a respectful salute, and then stood up from the ground.

Huang Jin stood next to Jiajing, watching the reactions of the two courtiers, and a shallow smile appeared on his face.

Jiajing raised his eyes and looked at Lin Haoran, but he said sharply: "King Yu, the Buddha is willing to sign a deal with me Daming for 5,000 catties of spices and 10,000 horses of silk every year, is this really true?" ”

When Xu Jie heard this, and the matter actually involved King Yu, he immediately sensed something different.

"Back to the emperor, this matter is true! The Franco-Rang people came across the ocean, one for silk and the other for spices, they just wanted to make huge profits by selling back the goods from the Ming Dynasty! Lin Haoran immediately responded.

Jiajing nodded slowly, and said with a decisive word: "Lin Aiqing, you go back and make arrangements, I can meet with the envoys of the Buddha Machine!" ”

"Command!" Lin Haoran was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately gave a salute.

Jiajing put the bamboo tube in his hand on the case, and told Lin Haoran: "You are still young, you must be more cautious in your actions in the future, and you must not commit such an easy thing to be truthful again!" ”

Ay!

Xu Jie watched things develop to this point, and he already knew that Lin Haoran had successfully survived this catastrophe, and he was afraid that many officials would be greatly disappointed with this result.

"The emperor is the king of the Holy Ming, and the minister believes that as long as he is dedicated to doing things for the emperor, there is no need to be afraid of small attacks!" Lin Haoran immediately knelt down and responded with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

When Jiajing heard this, a rare smile appeared on his face, and he responded gently: "What you said is true, I am indeed not a mediocre king, who of you courtiers is dedicated to doing things for me, I am actually clear in my heart!" ”

Speaking of which, he suddenly took out the spirit of an emperor, and waved his big hand and said: "You will do things for me with peace of mind in the future, if you really commit such a thing, I will also shelter you, and I will not be deceived by Qin Minglei's child!" ”

This......

Xu Jie's eyes couldn't help but widen, this was simply a talisman for Lin Haoran, and Qin Minglei's self-righteous attack even lifted a stone and smashed himself in the foot.

In this political struggle, Lin Haoran not only won a complete victory, but also dealt a counterattack to Qin Minglei.

"The emperor's holy candle shines, and the ministers are willing to die for His Majesty!" Lin Haoran forcibly made his eyes red, and he was greatly moved to express his loyalty.

Jiajing seemed very satisfied with Lin Haoran's statement, nodded slightly, and raised his hand to Xu Jieyi next to him and said, "I'm tired, you all retreat!" ”

"The minister retires, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Xu Jie and Lin Haoran saluted together, and then turned around and left the palace.

Jiajing watched the two leave, and planned to take a lunch break, but asked Huang Jin, who came forward: "What do you think of Lin Haoran?" ”

"Back to the master, if it is about the way to make money, I am afraid that it is not as good as Yan Ne!" Huang Jin had a good impression of Lin Haoran, and immediately responded.

Jiajing nodded approvingly, and said again: "If an agreement is really reached with the Francophile, this Suzhou and Hangzhou Weaving Bureau will have to send someone to take care of it!" ”

In the past, the Suzhou-Hangzhou Weaving Bureau was only responsible for the palace for clothing, but now it is necessary to send people to manage 10,000 pieces of silk with the Francophile people.

"I wonder which official the emperor is going to send?" Huang Jin learned that the emperor wanted the Suzhou and Hangzhou Weaving Bureau to be responsible for the annual production of 10,000 pieces of silk, and immediately asked curiously.

Jiajing stood up and stretched, glanced at it and said: "The Suzhou and Hangzhou Weaving Bureau has always been your internal supervisor in charge of supervising the production, and it is not appropriate for the foreign minister to be responsible for this matter, you choose a suitable eunuch!" ”

"The old slave takes orders!" Huang Jin endured his excitement and responded to Jiajing.

This Suzhou-Hangzhou Weaving Bureau can be described as their eunuch's big oil and water, and now there is a large order of 20,000 horses per horse, which is the oil and water that can be seen. If this matter can really be negotiated, and he arranges for his own people to go to Suzhou, then the silver paid every year will surely rise greatly.

There is no Yi Palace, the first auxiliary duty room.

Lin Haoran did not leave Xiyuan immediately, but was invited by Xu Jie, and followed Xu Jie to the duty room, where the banner of "returning the lord with prestige, returning the ministers with government affairs, and rewarding the public with punishment" was still hanging high on the wall.

A cabinet official brought in tea, and then quietly withdrew.

Xu Jie sat down at the tea table, pointed to the chair opposite and smiled: "If you are foolish, sit down!" ”

"Lord Xie Yuanfu!" Lin Haoran maintained a faint smile on his face, and he seemed to be polite.

Xu Jie took a small sip of the teacup, and then asked straight to the point: "The Francois is willing to sign an annual spice transaction of 5,000 catties and a silk transaction of 10,000 horses with my Daming, I don't know what the price is?" ”

Born in Songjiang Prefecture, the Xu family is now the largest weaver in Songjiang Prefecture, which makes Xu Jie's insight into business stronger than that of most officials.

It's just that this matter was directly handed over to the emperor by King Yu, and it didn't go through the cabinet, so the specific details of the transaction are unknown, and it's not clear whether this transaction is a loss or a gain.

"Twenty taels of silk each! In addition, the price of spices is more than gold, and 5,000 catties is 200,000 taels! Lin Haoran did not hide it, and immediately responded honestly.

Xu Jie finally understood why the emperor's attitude had changed, compared with that insignificant old words, the gift sent by Lin Haoran was indeed tempting.

His brows furrowed slightly, but he asked in confusion: "This silk is easy to solve, but what does spice refer to, and where did we get these five thousand catties of spice?" ”

"Spices are indeed not a specialty of our Ming Dynasty, they are mainly produced in the South Seas! Spices are produced in places such as the Beishan tribe, Batangas, and Kirijuku country, so the lower officials also hope that the imperial court will grant them the title of vassal king, and the two countries will sign a transaction document, so that we can exchange iron pots, porcelain, and cloth for spices! Lin Haoran responded seriously.

Xu Jie pondered for a moment while holding the teacup, and then asked, "What is the price of their spices?" Shall we put silver on it? ”

"Their spices aren't worth much in the country! The lower officials have communicated with them privately, and they can accept a discount of 20% of the gold price, but it is more appropriate to give 30%! Lin Haoran said with a smile.

Xu Jie knew that this was definitely not a loss-making deal, so he took a sip of tea, but asked in confusion: "Why are they like this, why don't the Franc people directly trade with the countries of Nanyang?" ”
