Yan Chengjin took out a piece of paper from his arms, Zhu Houzhao's eyes rolled, and Zeng Jian's gaze also fell on this piece of paper.

"This is a list of items traded with Tibet, Siam and other countries, adults may wish to take a look."

Zeng Jian took it and saw that Annam and Siam mainly exchanged rice, millet and so on, and Tibet mainly exchanged horses, cattle and sheep, etc., and the insufficient amount was made up with silver.

"Lao Gao, why don't you want silver?" Zhu Houzhao knew that rice was not worth much.

This list of proportions shows that there is too much food.

Zeng Jian was equally puzzled.

"Silver, the most useless."

With silver, you can buy the best crickets in the capital, raise countless tigers and leopards, and make your father laugh for three days and three nights.

You say silver is useless?

Zhu Houzhao felt that Lao Gao regarded him as a big fool.

Zeng Jian's old face twitched fiercely, which time did he go to the household department to ask for silver, didn't he serve those dog officials like his own father, so he just asked, Dad, are you comfortable, just give the silver when you are comfortable?

This kid actually said that the silver was useless, and he couldn't help but rub his face and turned red, what is the old man's efforts over the years?

Yan Chengjin didn't care: "Now that it's cold, not only is there a shortage of grain on the nine sides, but there is also a shortage of grain in the world, if it is to trade silver, the imperial court will also send this silver to the state capital, and then buy rice and grain.

Annam and Siam produce a lot of rice each year, while Tibet and Chao are not suitable for cultivation.

Therefore, what is bartered is different.

Although the law of the strong can be implemented, horses cannot be born in a short period of time, and exchanging horses to Tibet can solve the urgent need of Shaanxi Yuanma Temple.

If I am strong and strong, and attract other countries to the court, there will be as much money as there is. ”

Yan Chengjin noticed that after the grain production was reduced, the price of grain in the market increased.

Even if you plant hybrid rice now, it's too late.

Counting on someone to bring sweet potatoes and potatoes back to Daming? It's better to eat first and then dream.

What can be done now is to introduce foreign food to support the Ming Dynasty.

Annam and Siam are rich in rice, and more rice has been introduced, which not only increases the rice grain of the Ming Dynasty, but also pushes down grain prices to a certain extent.

Will Annam, Siam, Tibet, Korea and other countries melt iron tools into weapons?

Definitely!

Annam's various ministries were constantly in dispute, and the Tibetans were thinking about invading the surrounding small countries all day long, and Korea was now staging a big drama for the throne.

They all need weapons.

But what does it matter? None of them dared to attack the Ming Dynasty.

Yan Chengjin said to Wang Shouren: "Fang Cai, I recommended Bo'an again to envoy Annan and Siam. ”

Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment, thought about it, but nodded.

Fengtian Temple.

Emperor Koji was discussing with his ministers about the exchange of iron weapons.

How to export and how much silver to get in exchange for need to be carefully discussed.

After Zeng Jian saluted, he said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of Annan and Siam has decided to be Wang Shouren, this is the name of exchanging goods with Annan, please look at it." ”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at it, the name was written in detail, and he couldn't help frowning: "Why only grain and not silver?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that people are the foundation of a country, and money can be plundered, but people cannot be extra out of thin air, fill the treasury with foreign grain, and reduce the ......taxes of the people of our dynasty," Zeng Jian said.

Zhu Houzhao interrupted halfway and raised his hand happily: "Father, the son knows, let the son come and say!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him with disgust: "Then you can talk about it." ”

Zeng Jian's face was as ugly as eating a cockroach.

Zhu Houzhao's eyebrows fluttered: "Money can be plundered, if the Ming army is strong, why worry about no one to pay tribute, when the Yongle Dynasty, all countries come to the court, how much property is sent?"

This is all due to the strong national strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that hunger and cold are raging, there are still many people in the Ming Dynasty who have become homeless, losing their fields, and the fields are uncultivated, so there will be no food, and if there is no food, the people will wither, and what will be used to guard the border when the time comes.

No matter how much property there is, it is also shelved in Taicang and dusty, what is the use?

If you ask for food from Annam and Siam, you can feed the army and strengthen the strength of our army.

When the time comes, in order to seek refuge, Annan and other countries will have to pay tribute to my Ming Dynasty in vain! ”

The court fell silent all of a sudden.

Zhu Houzhao looked around, why didn't anyone praise him for being smart?

"That...... Father, the son is finished. ”

As soon as Li Dongyang heard it, he understood the key point,

A dead cycle of escape.

Li Dongyang couldn't help but exclaim: "It seems that I asked for rice and grain, but I was full of thoughts, all of which His Highness came up with?" ”

"Who else is so smart but Hongu?" Zhu Houzhao's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.

Bah! Stinky and shameless!

Zeng Jian actually wanted to say that this was Yan Chengjin's idea.

However, Yan Chengjin told him not to say it, so as not to attract the impeachment of the official, so he secretly suppressed his impulse.

……………

Wang fu

Wang Shouren received the order and sent an envoy to Siam and Annam, and specially went home to say goodbye to his father.

In fact, he has always respected his father in his heart, but Wang Hua doesn't like to deal with him.

Wang Shouren knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "My son is going to Siam, this trip, I'm afraid it will be more than a few days, these days, please take care of my father." ”

Wang Hua let out a long sigh, he pretended to ignore him on weekdays, and now he wants to send an envoy to Annan, after all, he is his own flesh and blood, how can he treat him like this.

"Or is it so unprofessional?"

Since Wang Shouren didn't enter the oil and salt, Wang Hua could only sigh.

Wang Shouren said: "The son was confused in his heart, and the sage said that Gewu Zhizhi, but the son never found the answer from Gewu. ”

Wang Hua almost didn't jump up: "What the sage said, what could be wrong, you have to be so stubborn!" ”

Splitting his head and covering his face is a scolding, and Wang Shouren has long been used to it.

Wang Hua also gave up: "Although there should be no obstacles to this trip, you also need to be careful, finish things, don't delay, come back early, this is some dry food snacks, stay on the road to eat." ”

As he spoke, he handed him the package in his hand.

Wang Shouren smiled happily and kowtowed again.

……………

Today, Empress Zhang drove to Renshou Palace to visit the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty licked the calf deeply, so Empress Zhang also had great respect for her, knowing that she was alone in the deep palace, and often came to talk to her.

Empress Zhang saluted: "These are the refreshments brought from Kunning Palace, and I specially let the Queen Mother taste them." ”

"The queen has a heart, and she hasn't seen a good photo for many days, and the mourning family misses him." The Queen Mother looked at the refreshments, but she didn't have any thoughts.

Since Zhu Houzhao and Yan Chengjin got mixed up, they rarely come to Renshou Palace.

Empress Zhang also knew that the prince had often slipped out of the palace recently, so she comforted: "Tomorrow, the concubine will let him come to Renshou Palace to ask for peace." ”

"I heard that the prince often sneaks out of the palace over the wall and drills dog holes?"

Empress Zhang's face was red: "Yes." ”

The Queen Mother laughed out loud: "The prince is stubborn, man, when he becomes a family, he will take care of it." ”

Yan Chengjin studied in the Ministry of Industry, Wang Shouren has been gone for several days, and he can now draw a circle with his bare hands.

Zhou Yu quietly slipped into the government of the Ministry of Industry, like a thief, and reviewed it three times in one step.

Seeing Yan Chengjin, his face was overjoyed, he rubbed his hands, and said, "Virtuous nephew, you are familiar with His Royal Highness the Prince, do you know, what kind of woman does he like?" Do you like fat, or thin, do you like everyone's ladies, or do you like small jasper? ”

Yan Chengjin's head buzzed.

Zhu Houzhao shouldn't have instructed him to rob the people's daughters, right? Let Emperor Hongzhi know that he still has to pick the skin of the two of them?

Picking off Zhu Houzhao's skin, it doesn't matter, the key is that the six warriors will be exposed, this is to fool him......

Yan Chengjin said: "The prince asked his uncle to kidnap and plunder the people's daughters? ”

Zhou Yu's face was happy: "The virtuous nephew misunderstood, he is the queen, and he intends to choose a concubine for the prince!" ”

Zhou Yu naturally will not let go of this opportunity, and give the queen to elect the daughter, not to mention that he can make meritorious contributions, which official does not want his daughter to be elected, and he can also make a fortune under the banner of Emperor Hongzhi.

Yan Chengjin said: "Why didn't Uncle ask His Highness directly?" ”

Zhou Yu was a little embarrassed: "His Royal Highness said that as long as it is a woman, he likes it." ”

Yan Chengjin: "..."
