After only a short period of effort, there were only three people left in the main hall, namely Emperor Li Er, Jia Yi, and a eunuch.

"Jia Yi, do you have a foolproof plan?" Li Er didn't beat around the bush, he just went straight to the point, which made Jia Yi breathe a sigh of relief, for fear that his ink would not be finished.

"Nope."

Trade is a double-edged sword, you can get a lot of benefits, of course, it is also very likely to make the herdsmen on the grassland stronger, so as to wave the army south to plunder the Tang Dynasty, this kind of thing can not be completely avoided, no one can give a guarantee, not even Jia Yi.

"Do you have a workable solution?"

Although it is only a difference of two words, this involves a difference between affirmation and grace, Li Er is the emperor after all, you have no jokes, Jia Yi does not dare to use his life to make any illusory guarantee with Li Er, but to take an idea to make suggestions, which is what Jia Yi wants.

"Feasible strategy, the minister has one, but the minister is just a businessman to put it bluntly, if you want to say the way of doing business, the minister should not let you, but if you want to say that this art of governing the country, even the minister is inferior to the smallest county order, therefore, the feasible strategy given by the minister is expected to be used with caution."

"The products of the countries of the Western Regions are naturally not as rich as my Datang, but they also have their unique outputs, from this point of view, the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions are completely able to achieve the commercial purpose of communicating with each other, but the countries of the Western Regions have always coveted the fertile land of my Datang, and always think that one day they will be able to wave their troops south to conquer the territory of my Datang, therefore, the minister believes that direct strategic materials should not be included in the exchange, such as iron weapons such as knives and guns."

"There is no shortage of ambitious people in the Western Regions, but more of them are ordinary people, what they want is nothing more than a stable and stable life, if they can be satisfied with the status quo through business, the morale of the soldiers of the Western Regions will definitely be greatly affected, and they will become powerless if they want to enter our Tang Dynasty."

"If you can, I think it's best to attack the boundless territory and incorporate it into my Tang Dynasty's territory, those aliens still live in their land, living an ordinary life, once they find out that they have a rebellious heart, they will immediately wave their troops to punish them."

After Jia Yiyi finished speaking, Li Er fell into contemplation, Li Er is the first emperor through the ages, and in his bones, he also hopes to be able to incorporate the entire land of the earth into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which is why he has been an emperor for more than 20 years and has fought for more than 20 years.

Although Jia Yi's method can make some Hu people content with the status quo and not want to forge ahead, but as Jia Yi said, there will still be ambitious people who secretly accumulate strength to try to encroach on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, unless one day the environment of the land of the Western Regions can become as fertile as the Central Plains, otherwise this encroachment will never end.

This is like an unsolvable problem, which made Li Er's brows furrow tightly, I don't know if it was a headache later, but he actually reached out and rubbed his own temples, falling into deep thought.

I took a peek at the sky outside, it was already completely dark, and it was estimated that it was time to eat at home, and Cordyceps sinensis was something I wanted to eat today.

"Jia Yi, you are the most familiar with the way of doing business, and you have any business contacts with the prairie, so you must have a plan, and you will lead a large number of merchants to the prairie to do business with the herdsmen there?"

"Okay, no problem, the minister promises to complete the task."

"Remember, as you said, it is strictly forbidden to carry military supplies such as iron tools."

"Obey."

Jia Yi never imagined that one day he would be able to do business under orders, this errand is really good, the prairie is full of treasures, just get some food or something can be exchanged for a large number of cattle, sheep and horses and some herbs unique to the grassland, it is definitely a profitable business, whoever goes can make a fortune.

People are in good spirits when they are happy events, not to mention that it is still this kind of happy event, although he doesn't know when to go to the grassland, Jia Yi still plans to start preparing as soon as possible, and when the time comes, he is in a hurry to forget something, which is really bad.

When I got home, the whole family was sitting at the dinner table honestly, no one was eating, and they were all waiting for Jia Yi's arrival.

"If you don't come back overnight, what if you don't eat dinner, this rule will be canceled in the future, and now you will all eat for me."

Sitting at the dinner table, he picked up the chopsticks at hand, grabbed a big white steamed bun, and ate it with millet porridge.

"I'm going to go to the grassland in a while, and I'll start collecting a lot of food and consumables on the grassland from tomorrow."

As soon as Jia was eating, he explained to Jia Er what he needed to bring to the grassland shortly after.

"Husband is still going to the grassland?" Lin Ruyu looked at Jia Yi with a shocked face, her face was full of worry, the last time she went to the grassland, she thought about Jia Yi all day and night, prayed that nothing would happen to Jia Yi, and she washed her face with tears all day long, and now she heard that Jia Yi was going to the grassland again, she was naturally very worried.

Seeing Lin Ruyu's appearance, Jia Yi had a faint smile on his face, stretched out a hand and grabbed Lin Ruyu's hand tightly, and tightened it slightly, and then explained: "Madame, you can rest assured, now the grassland has been wiped out by my ** pawn after the last battle, and there is no longer an armed force that can threaten the big ** pawn, so the safety of this trip is beyond doubt, and the most direct purpose of my trip to the grassland is to make money." ”

"When will the husband leave?"

"Don't worry, this matter is only temporarily decided by His Majesty, and it is estimated that we will have to wait until tomorrow after the ministers discuss it, and finally come up with a decision."

If you start preparing now, Jia Yi will definitely have enough time to prepare everything he needs, so Jia Yi is full of confidence in the future trip to the grassland and eats deliciously.

Lin Meiyu, who was sitting on the side, heard that Jia Yi was going to the grassland again, and her good-looking brows suddenly wrinkled tightly, although Jia Yi had explained that there were no enemies on the grassland, but those Hu people on the grassland were really difficult to reassure, and the truth that their hearts would be different if they were not of my race, Lin Meiyu still knew, this time when she went to the grassland, Jia Yi didn't even have anyone around him who could talk, thinking of this, Lin Meiyu raised her head and said to Jia Yi: "Brother-in-law, take me with you on this trip to the grassland." ”

"Poof......

When Jia heard this, he directly spit out the millet porridge that had just been poured into his mouth, although there was basically no danger in the trip to the grassland, but this was only relative, after all, the grassland was the place of the Hu people, not the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, the legal system was still the most primitive natural law, God knows if there would be any accidents.

"No, I'll go alone this time."

Looking at Jia Yi's serious face, everyone knew that even if he continued to talk, Jia Yi would not be able to agree, so everyone stopped talking and took a big bite to eat, and soon a meal was wiped out with everyone's concerted efforts.

Jia Yi, who was full of food and drink, took his son from the nurse's arms, held him in his arms, and began to swing slowly in the garden.

"Husband, the second child is not too young, do you think it's time to marry him a daughter-in-law?" Lin Meiyu came to Jia Yi's side, stretched out her head to look at the eldest son in Jia Yi's arms, teased her twice, and then said to Jia Yi.

"Well, it's time too, okay, since you are his sister-in-law, there is a way that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, you can take care of this matter for him."

Jia Yi thought that he also married Lin Ruyu when he was sixteen or seventeen, and now that Jia Er is also this age, it should be quite normal for him to marry a daughter-in-law, so he didn't think much about it, and directly handed it over to Lin Ruyu to deal with.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Jia Yi slept directly to wake up naturally, although the air quality in Chang'an City is not as good as in the countryside, but everything is very regular, if the sky is not yet bright, the chickens dare not crow, for fear of disturbing the nobles in the city.

Jia Yi, who hadn't slept like this for a long time, got up from the bed, suddenly felt refreshed, walked outside the door and stretched a big lazy waist, washed up, and came to the dining room to start eating.

As soon as the meal was finished here, someone over there came to report, saying that Qin Huaiyu was here, and his brother still had a report? Inform all the family members in the mansion that Qin Huaiyu will come in the future and bring him directly to see him, and there is no need to report it.

"Huaiyu, why did you come here so early today."

"Brother Jia, I heard my father say that it won't be long before he will go to the grassland again, this time it is said that the emperor will allow business, I don't know what Brother Jia plans to prepare?"

Jia Yi thought for a moment, and then said: "Prepare tea and cloth, don't prepare food for the time being, wait until after autumn." ”

Still has no reason to believe, Qin Huaiyu didn't even ask Jia Yi why he said this, but chose to believe directly, since Qin Huaiyu got Jia Yi's approval, no matter what he did, Jia Yi would reserve a copy for Qin Huaiyu, and there was no exception to this trip to the grassland, Jia Yi had thought about what to bring and what not to bring from the beginning, but before he could tell Qin Huaiyu, Qin Huaiyu came to the door first.

"Brother Jia, do you think those ministers can allow the merchants to go to the grassland to do business?"

"God knows, let's get ready first, if it's okay, just pull things to go, if not, let's sell it on the spot and make sure we don't lose money."
