In the middle of the day, the empress covered her lips and yawned.

In Liu Mingzhi's awakened gaze from meditation, he stretched his graceful waist.

"Puff ....."

The empress chuckled strangely, and looked at Liu Dashao's dark circles with a narrow smile in her eyes.

"How did your eyes become like this?"

Liu Mingzhi moved his arm and looked at the empress with narrow eyes: "What else do you say?" This young master is time-consuming and exerting, just the eyes are already good like this, after I meditate, it is much better, and in the morning, I don't have a face to see people at all! ”

The empress glanced at the sleeping cutie and approached Liu Dashao and blew: "I haven't washed up yet, otherwise I have to let you know that it won't work, and it's a loss to change it for half a year!" ”

Liu Mingzhi shuddered: "Then you can't ask for nothing like this...... Forget it, you guys are a group of foxes, and the young master will die young sooner or later! ”

"That's what you brought on yourself, if you weren't so romantic, you wouldn't have ended up today! I don't know how you survive when you're at home? ”

"Wanyan, we have to speak with our conscience, you said yesterday that Young Master Ben is not lustful, and today you have another Young Master Ben who is amorous, isn't this contradictory?"

"Besides, I don't have so many ladies in the capital who don't toss this young master alone!"

The empress raised her hand and combed her messy green silk: "Don't talk about this, aren't you in a hurry to go back to govern the people's livelihood in Yingzhou?" ”

"Now Wanyan has slept enough, you can go back and wait for Yue'er to wake up, I don't know if it will pester you for another day!"

Liu Mingzhi muttered for a moment: "Speaking of the people's livelihood, the young master is good at governing the people's livelihood, the key is this people's livelihood problem, I only need to use the power of my governor to easily deal with it, and the people's livelihood is closely related to the border market!" ”

Liu Mingzhi sighed, bent down and picked up the little cutie and walked out of the tent.

The Empress was puzzled by how she put on her own robe, checked that nothing was missing, and then got out of the tent and followed.

It was still yesterday's Eagle's Beak Rock, and Liu Mingzhi stopped to look at the border pass market outside Yingzhou City.

"To put it mildly, a few years ago, the mutual market was crowded, and at a glance, it was all businessmen from the three countries of you and me, and you can look at the current mutual market."

"Although it can't be said that there are no traces of people, but this caravan is no different from no one?"

"Except for a very small number of big merchants, there is not a single merchant from a small household, and now the merchants would rather organize themselves together and travel thousands of miles to the Western Regions to trade than come to the mutual market formed for the first time to do business!"

"The root cause of this is nothing more than the war, and the merchants are worried that their lives will not be guaranteed."

The empress directly understood what Liu Mingzhi meant, and after pondering for a while, she still looked at Liu Mingzhi and asked.

"So what do you mean?"

"Just like the signing of the border border peace coexistence contract at that time, the three countries sent soldiers and horses to protect the safety of the merchants, and stationed troops in each other's markets, so that the merchants could trade with peace of mind."

"Each will send 30,000 soldiers and horses, and post stations of different sizes will be set up within a radius of 50 miles to station soldiers and horses."

"As long as it is guaranteed that the mutual market will not be affected by the war between the Turkic and eastern royal courts and the Heshuo and Hetao, the merchants who have left will come back!"

"Merchants seek profit, there are very few big merchants in the Three Kingdoms, and not all merchants have enough strength to cross the vast Gobi to reach the Western Regions!"

"Many merchants are helpless to go to the Western Regions, because the Western Regions has the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to protect their lives, and what about the border gates?"

There was a faint smile on the corner of the empress's mouth: "Isn't there 200,000 dragon guards stationed in Yingzhou?" They are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and they are not necessarily much worse than the army that has just gone to the Western Regions to be stationed in the Protectorate! ”

"This is different, the thirty-eight countries of the Western Regions are all obeying the orders of the commander of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and they will definitely not dare to do anything to the merchants of the Great Dragon!"

"When the young master returned to the dynasty, the monarchs of the thirty-eight countries in the Western Regions signed and drew a pledge on the treaty, and those who rebelled against the merchants and people of Dalong destroyed the city and destroyed the country!"

"And your Jin country and the Turks don't have such an agreement, Yingzhou has 200,000 dragon guards, but your Jin country's Songzhou also has 200,000 eagle guards, and they are evenly matched."

"As long as our tripartite peaceful military exchange market ensures the safety of the merchants, and some Turks in the Western Regions are basically there, the merchants of small households will definitely not be willing to go to the Western Regions to do business in the Western Regions after braving the wind and sand for thousands of miles."

"In this way, the problem of people's livelihood is no longer a problem, as long as I open up some preferential policies to businessmen, to ensure that the mutual market can be as prosperous as before, and there is an endless stream of merchants!"

The empress looked at Liu Mingzhi quietly, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

"Nine thousand nine hundred miles to the west, the territory of the Great Dragon!"

"Those who rebel against the people and merchants of Dalong will destroy the city and the country!"

"A good white-clothed Confucian handsome Liu Mingzhi, but the general can win, there is no need for the Son of Heaven to build the Great Wall, you became famous in the Jin Kingdom, no matter what I pay, I can't stop you from returning to your heart like an arrow, what is there to be in this big dragon worthy of your nostalgia?"

Liu Mingzhi just wanted to speak, but was stopped by the empress raising her hand.

"One yard to one yard, our private affection is private affection, and now when we talk about state affairs, we borrow a sentence from a businessman to ask Dalong's Dingguo Gong, the governor of Yingzhou."

"In business, there is no border pass outside Yingzhou City, the people of Jin can be self-sufficient, without worrying about food and clothing, and I can also exchange weapons and armor for the cattle, sheep and horses of the Huyan royal court."

"Don't doubt my words, Yan Yu is the princess of the Huyan royal court, but she is also the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom."

"My face is not good, and Yue'er's face is available."

"You were ordered to rectify the government and people's livelihood in Yingzhou, that was your Majesty Li Zheng's order, Li Zheng can order you, but I can't order my Yan Wanyan."

"Since the mutual market is dispensable to me, why should I help you rectify the people's livelihood? What benefits do I get? ”

"Plain words, don't be too full, without the taxes of merchants in the mutual market, your treasury will be empty sooner or later, and it will not be too late to make amends, and when your treasury really goes wrong, it will be too late for you to save it!"

The Empress sneered softly: "Sooner or later, how long?" Liu Mingzhi, don't forget, the Jin Kingdom is now peaceful and war-free, and you Dalong can have the bottomless pit of the Northern Frontier Army of Wuguo Gong Wanbuhai that is eating away at Dalong's treasury all the time! ”

"I'll tell you bluntly that the gradual weakening of your dragon's frontier power is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me, so why should I go to such a thankless time to help you?"

"You are Yue'er's father, and I am Yue'er's mother? It seems that the chips are not enough! ”

"And now it is not this relationship that is face-to-face, but the Dingguo Duke of the Empress of the Jin Kingdom and Dalong. Why should I work so thanklessly to help you restore the rule of law and the people's livelihood? ”

"It's not a problem to want me to help you, but what price can you pay?"

Liu Mingzhi's face was solemn for a while, and he raised his eyes to look at the empress's deep eyes.

"I don't know what kind of chips Wanyan wants?"

The Empress Hao's eyes turned slightly, and after a while, the Empress stared at Liu Mingzhi with bright eyes: "All the construction drawings and data of the Eight Bull Crossbows, or the casting methods of artillery and cannonballs, Dingguo Gong can choose one." ”

Liu Mingzhi's pupils constricted and stared at the empress with an indifferent expression: "Inevitably, the lion opened his mouth, and besides, these drawings are kept in the military department, even if I want to exchange, I can't be the master!" ”

The empress sighed silently: "Liu Mingzhi, is it so difficult for you to tell the truth to Wanyan?" ”
