In addition to fighting in the dark, countries still have to communicate with each other and exchange commerce and trade on the surface.

millet rice, cold ginseng, leather goods produced by the Northern Wei Dynasty; Cotton, silk, porcelain of Nan Chen; Soft cattle and sheep, fresh milk, fur brocade mink fur; Iron, bronze, gold and silver products of the party; There is also the gemstone and jade of the Wusun country; Hun horses, leather boots, and much more.

The countries decided to discuss the terms of the mutual market together, and they all decided to put aside their prejudices and mustards for the time being, and to focus on the development of commerce and trade.

However, the results of tariffs and market rents have not been negotiated for a long time.

Neither of them is stupid, although they say that they want to negotiate peace and market each other, but in fact, they are not willing to do a loss-making deal.

Whoever takes advantage of a certain amount of money is unwilling to compromise; They are also in a stalemate for some small profits, and they drag down the mutual market again and again.

For this matter, above the court, Chen Xian asked hundreds of officials every day what they had to say.

The ministers have different opinions, some say, 'win over the strong country, suppress the small country, get the benefits, and divide each other', some say 'support the weak country, suppress the strong country', and some people say, 'simply make friends at both ends, be a peacemaker, gather all countries to come here to form an alliance, we are a host, this benefit, the benefit will naturally be the most'!

"The mutual market is the mutual market, everyone has some money, support each other, support each other, and the widow will never form a gang or form a party for personal gain!" Chen Xian said.

His Highness has a minister who said; "Your Majesty, if we give up this excellent opportunity, the Northern Wei Dynasty will inevitably seize the opportunity, and when the time comes, we will snatch the position of the 'host', I am afraid it will be unfavorable to us!"

"We only seek the benefits we deserve, we don't want ill-gotten gains, we won't bully anyone, and we won't win over anyone! However, on the issue of mutual markets between countries, if someone 'forms a party for personal gain' and 'bullies others', the widow will not sit idly by!" Chen Xian said.

Zhu Yushi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is wise! Even if we become the 'host', if we succeed, I am afraid that we will also fall into the reputation of 'monopolizing financial interests', which is a thankless thing, and if we do not succeed, we will fall into the mouth, and the prestige of our Chen State in the Central Plains will be even more disadvantaged!"

When His Royal Highness and the others heard Zhu Yushi say this, they also felt that it was very reasonable.

So most of them are like "wall grass", 'swaying with the wind!'

I didn't have a good idea for a while!

After retreating from the court, Chen Xian was bored in his heart, so he came to Mingyue Tower.

At this time, Xiao Mingyue was leading Qingwen and Amber to bask in calligraphy and painting.

Seeing that the emperor was coming, Xiao Mingyue hurriedly came down to pay respects.

"Okay, okay, is there anyone else here, why be polite? Didn't the widow tell you? If no outsiders are here, don't do all this red tape!" Chen Xian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiao Mingyue smiled and nodded.

"What were you guys doing?!" Chen Xian asked.

"Your Majesty, Mingyue thinks that autumn is coming soon, and the weather is getting colder. I took out all the ancient books, calligraphy and paintings in the house as soon as possible to dry them. Otherwise, these things will be locked up in the house for the rest of the winter, and they will not see the light of day until the beginning of spring next year!" Xiao Mingyue looked up at the ancient calligraphy and painting books that had begun to dry.

Chen Xian looked at it and praised Xiao Mingyue: "Okay! You are a person who really loves calligraphy and painting, and many famous literati and scholars are not as good as you. In terms of talent, talent, especially the love of ancient calligraphy and painting, you can be said to be the first person in ancient and modern times! Otherwise, the widow will make an exception and allow you to take the scientific examination next year, and when you are admitted to the top prize, you will enter the court as an official and become the widow's Dazai!' One man is below ten thousand people!' How?!"

Xiao Mingyue heard this, knowing that Chen Xian was joking with herself, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is joking, even if Your Majesty is willing, those ministers are willing, I am not willing!"

"Why doesn't Yue'er want to? Is it because he dislikes the low official position of 'Dazai'? Chen Xian asked.

"Not so much. If I become His Majesty's courtier, I am afraid that I will be 'loyal to my ears' and make Your Majesty hate me even more!" Xiao Mingyue said.

Then he dried the two volumes of "The Book of Tea" in his hand on the stone table beside him.

"Advice is good for deeds! Besides, what you say, even if you are scolding the widow, the widow loves to listen!" Chen Xian said with a smile.

A few people in the attic listened secretly, Amber was the closest, and heard it most clearly, so they secretly told Qingwen and Cai Wei about it, and several people in the attic were carefully drying their books while laughing secretly in their hearts.

Xiao Mingyue looked up at the few people in the attic, as well as those calligraphy and paintings, and said: "It's a pity that Mingyue doesn't have such great ambitions, what she wants in her life is just to dry books and paint." If you have time, make some refreshments for Your Majesty!"

Chen Xian smiled and took Xiao Mingyue's hands, and said softly: "I was angry with them above the court, and when I came to you, I saw you, and I talked to you, and I was in a good mood!"

When Xiao Mingyue heard this, she couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Xian bowed slightly, and said: "Countries are discussing the issue of mutual market, but the problem of market rent and customs duties has not been solved!" The matter of the mutual market has also been delayed again and again! The widow is worried about this!"

Xiao Mingyue heard that Chen Xian was worried about the 'mutual market', and couldn't help but think of Yu Wendi's ability to do business for the king of Heqing.

Thinking that since Chen Xian is unwilling to come forward to be the 'host', then the countries are still scattered, each for its own benefit, and this mutual market will not be able to do it.

And Yuwendi is a natural material for doing business, so it is better for him to come forward and be a 'host'!

But if he brought it up rashly like this, even if he said a big reason, but with the relationship between Chen Xian and Yu Wendi's political enemies and love enemies, I am afraid that they will not agree easily, and they may try their best to prevent this matter.

After thinking about it, I came up with a peerless good solution!

"Your Majesty, why don't we go shopping?!" Xiao Mingyue said.

Chen Xian suddenly heard that Xiao Mingyue was going out of the palace to go shopping, and couldn't help but feel very strange, and asked, "Yue'er, why did you suddenly remember to go out of the palace to go shopping?!"

"Your Majesty, if you want to truly understand the 'mutual market' and know the reasonable price of 'customs duties' and 'market rent', you must go to those merchants!" Xiao Mingyue said.

Chen Xian listened, nodded with a smile, and praised: "Yue'er said very much, the widow went back to change his clothes after a while, and we went to 'Weifu for a private visit'!"

"Good!" Xiao Mingyue said with a smile.

"Miss, you and Your Majesty are really going out of the palace? Then the slave and maid will follow! I can take care of you guys on the way!" Amber said worriedly while changing into homely clothes for Xiao Mingyue.

Xiao Mingyue knew that Amber was worried because of the knife wound she had suffered last time, so she comforted Amber and said: "It's okay Amber, I'll be careful, it won't be like last time, with His Majesty by my side to protect me, and a few masters of the Great Interior, it will definitely be fine!"

Cai Wei also said: "Yes! Amber, this time His Majesty is taking the county lord for a 'private visit', and you go, isn't it an 'eyesore'?!"

Amber was surprised, "'Hinder...... An eyesore?! Oh! I understand! Then I'm not going! so as not to disturb Mademoiselle and Your Majesty!"

Cai Wei teased: "You! What a 'stupid melon', didn't Chenyu ask you to fly a kite the day before yesterday! Did you forget? Not ready yet!? "

So Xiao Mingyue changed into a half-worn bamboo-green brocade embroidered skirt, and wore a small silver-gray narrow-sleeved shirt outside, tied a light gold belt, and walked simply and briskly.

He also asked Cai Wei to comb herself into a single snail bun, with only an apricot yellow beaded flower.

Slightly applied powder.

Chen Xian also changed into the outfit of an ordinary man, brought two masters of Ouchi, and asked Chun'an to follow and serve.

Xiao Mingyue and Chen Xian took the carriage in the palace, left the palace, and came to the market.

"Your Majesty, we have to go to shops and stalls run by traders from other countries." Xiao Mingyue said.

Chen Xian listened and nodded in agreement.

Chun'an seemed to be confused, first he didn't understand why the good emperor wanted to go out of the palace with the county lord, and then why he went to the merchants of other countries.

"Your Majesty! Princess! Even if we want to go shopping, the minions don't have to go to the vendors of other countries! The minions feel that 'fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders', and the goods sold by our local merchants are very good!" Chun An said.

"You've had a small business in the past?" Chen Xian asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave's elder brother has a Zhuangzi, and every year there are many pheasants and hares on the Zhuangzi. At the end of the year, they all called and sold for money!" Chun An replied.

Chen Xian asked again: "But are they all sold to nearby villagers?" Does the price sell well?!"

Chun'an scratched his head, frowned and said: "The first two years sold very well, and the big guys came to buy it, but in the past two years, I heard my brother's letter saying, 'It's not as good as before, and the big guys are tired of eating and feel that it's not fresh!'"

"That's your brother can't do business anymore!" Chen Xian said.

Chun Anhan said with a smile: "The slave's brother is just a farmer, but fortunately, the slave entered the palace, thanks to His Majesty and the master's support, the elder brother got a few acres of land and had a Zhuangzi." Now although it is said that 'pheasants and hares' are not selling well, they have also become a small blessing family, and their nephews have also gone to school!"

Chun'an, although he sometimes has a small head, but he can be selected as an apprentice by Zhao Gonggong, and he also has his strengths, that is, he can speak well, and he is very good at sycophancy!"

Although I can't understand the meaning of the emperor and the county lord, it can't be wrong to take the opportunity to make a sycophant, right?!

Xiao Mingyue smiled and said: "Chun'an, if you write a letter to your brother in the future, you can tell him that pheasants and hares are not selling well near Zhuangzi, and you can sell them elsewhere, and you can sell them in inns and restaurants above the county seat!"

Chun'an listened, and said: "But if it can't be sold, won't the back and forth carriage and horse fare have to be discounted?!"

Xiao Mingyue smiled and said, "Don't worry! After a while, we passed by those big inns and restaurants, so we went to ask your brother. Now that it's almost autumn, the more these things, the better."

When Chun'an heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The slave thanked Your Majesty for my brother, the county lord!"
