Ling Yu left the post house under Jin Dazhu's grateful farewell, and suddenly had some thoughts in his heart, if he could take the products of the Lingke Chamber of Commerce as the core, grant the agency rights of the surrounding countries to a group of magnates, and gradually control these magnates through the interest chain, maybe he could receive miraculous results in the future.

It happened to be the New Year, and the surrounding countries would have come to pay tribute, and this time, with the princess's wedding, some countries that were not subject countries would also come to watch the ceremony, such as the Beihu royal court and Tubo, they would send envoys to bring congratulatory gifts, which was a good opportunity to gather envoys from various countries.

Ling Yu thought about this idea, and gradually formed an idea, through the products of the Lingke Chamber of Commerce, let the elites of the surrounding countries operate as agents in their own countries, and make a lot of money, they will rely more on Da Zhou, rely on the Lingke Chamber of Commerce, and when necessary, they can also let these magnates do something for Da Zhou, which is also conducive to the placement of some intelligence personnel in various countries through commercial infiltration.

But this is also a matter, Guang Lingyu thinks that it is not possible, there must be the support of the emperor, thinking of this, Ling Yu ordered the carriage to be rerouted and went straight to the palace, planning to report this idea to Zhou Zhengxiong and seek support.

In the imperial study, Zhou Zhengxiong, who got the report, was very curious, Ling Yu had something to ask for, and at the same time, he also had some expectations in his heart, Ling Yu might be able to put forward some good ideas.

After Yucheng led Ling Yu in, he stood aside and waited, while Ling Yu respectfully saluted Zhou Zhengxiong.

After the ceremony, Zhou Zhengxiong smiled and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, I don't know what to do when I come to see me at this time?" ”

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law just came out of Honglu Temple, and I have an idea, I want to report it to my father-in-law." Ling Yu said respectfully.

"Oh? Let's talk about it, what good ideas do you have for the virtuous son-in-law, I am looking forward to it tightly. Zhou Zhengxiong heard that Ling Yu really had a new idea, and looked forward to it.

"Father-in-law, that's the ......" Ling Yu reported his thoughts to Zhou Zhengxiong.

"It's a good idea, but does the son-in-law think it's really useful?" Zhou Zhengxiong frowned and asked, of course he also knew Ling Yu's purpose, but Da Zhou had never attached great importance to business, so he had never tried such a method, so Zhou Zhengxiong was a little uncertain in his heart.

"Father-in-law, the son-in-law thinks this move is very useful, and the son-in-law has heard a saying that once there is a proper profit, people will be bold. With 50 percent of the profits, he took the risk; For the sake of 100% profit, he dares to trample on all human laws; With a profit of 300 percent, he dared to commit any crime, even risking beheading. So the son-in-law thinks it's better to give it a try, even if the effect is not very good, but it can make more money and provide more taxes for the imperial court. Ling Yu smiled slyly.

After listening to this, Zhou Zhengxiong thought about it carefully, and felt that it made sense, so he laughed and said: "Could it be that you want to make more money, you are also a businessman in a sense, you can say this truth, you have to pay attention." ”

"Father-in-law Mingjian, son-in-law's loyalty to you can be learned, and he will never do anything to be sorry for you and Da Zhou." Ling Yu said seriously, he knew that Zhou Zhengxiong was joking, but he still had to take his position seriously, and he couldn't give Zhou Zhengxiong the feeling that he was unreliable.

"Okay, okay, I'm joking with you, don't take it seriously, I know what kind of person you are, don't worry, do it boldly if you want to do it, I'll give it to you, and I also believe in your ability." When Zhou Zhengxiong saw Ling Yu like this, he stopped making him laugh and said.

"Thank you father-in-law for your trust, my son-in-law knows what to do." Ling Yu said respectfully.

"Well, it's good to know." Zhou Zhengxiong nodded with a smile, he was very satisfied with Ling Yu's son-in-law, and then turned to Yu Cheng and said: "Yu Cheng, you send someone to send a message to Honglu Temple, telling them that I have given Ling Aiqing a special task, so that they can cooperate with Ling Aiqing without asking more." ”

"Yes, slave and maid." Yucheng glanced at Ling Yu amicably after receiving the order, and then quietly withdrew to do something, Yucheng is Zhou Zhengxiong's old man, it can be said that he grew up watching Zhou Ling, and now seeing that Ling Yu has become Zhou Ling's husband and the minister of Da Zhou, he naturally values Ling Yu very much in his heart, and is full of kindness.

Ling Yu didn't stay in the palace for long, the emperor had already agreed with his idea, and then he had to plan how to implement it, and then he thought of Qian Ruomei, a strange woman in the business world.

Thinking of Qian Ruomei, this bold beauty, Ling Yu smiled slightly, after these days of contact, Ling Yu gradually began to give her a little trust, Qian Ruomei is always spicy, and never let Ling Yu down, which makes Ling Yu have to be a little impressed with her.

However, it was not early at this time, and it was estimated that the girls had already gone back separately, Ling Yu thought about it and was not in a hurry, he was going to go back to rest, but as soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he met Zhou Shaobin, Ling Yu was very curious, when did Zhou Shaobin come to the palace.

"Baked cakes, what a coincidence, did you come to find your father?" Ling Yu asked curiously.

"Brother Ling, I'm here to find you, alas, I'll just say it straight, my sister hasn't seen you for a few days, although this is etiquette, but I'm thinking about being a brother is not trying to find a way for you to meet, fortunately I met your guards just now, otherwise I wouldn't know that you came to the palace, don't say so much, go to my house first." After Zhou Shaobin finished speaking, he pulled Ling Yu into his carriage.

Ling Yu didn't object, he didn't attach much importance to etiquette, he saw Zhou Ling follow etiquette so much before, he had to follow her, now think about it, this is stupid, if he has to go to see Zhou Ling, will Zhou Ling refuse?

turned his head and ordered his carriage to follow behind, then followed Zhou Shaobin into the car, and soon, he came to Zhou Shaobin's palace.

This is the first time Ling Yu has come to Zhou Shaobin's mansion, and it is strange to say that the two rarely go to each other's homes as guests, and they are basically at the base of the Chamber of Commerce or the Academy of Sciences, but Ling Yu thinks that there should be more in the future, and Zhou Shaobin is also Zhou Ling's maiden family.

"Brother Ling, let's keep a low profile when you bring it back, although brother, I don't attach so much importance to etiquette, but if my sister doesn't want to, it's better for us to dispel this idea." Zhou Shaobin whispered, he also brought Ling Yu behind Zhou Ling's back.

"Don't worry, I know, the first time I came to your house, I didn't expect your house to be so spacious, it really deserves to be a palace, it's atmospheric." Ling Yu looked at this extremely wide palace and exclaimed, the palace can be said to be built with a high-end atmosphere, pavilions, rockeries and lakes, just like a garden in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Brother Ling, I didn't say you, just your tattered Earl's Mansion, oh now it's called the Viscount's Mansion for the time being, it's not worthy of your identity, sometimes I really want to ask you, you are not poor, you have a chamber of commerce that is making money every day, and now you are also a nobleman with a title, and you will immediately marry my sister-in-law as a concubine, haven't you thought about asking for some decency?" Zhou Shaobin asked.

Ling Yu has never considered this problem, not to mention it in his previous life, in that kind of environment, it is already good to have a house in Beijing, and he has been staying in the countryside with Master when he came to this world, and when he first entered the city, he was already very satisfied with the mansion that Master prepared for him, and he never thought about replacing it.

"Uh...... I really didn't think about it, I always thought it was enough, and at that time one person couldn't use much space. Ling Yu scratched his head in embarrassment and said, Ling Yu, who had enough ideas, really didn't think about these things, if it wasn't for Zhou Shaobin's proposal this time, Ling Yu would probably have forgotten about it.

"You, forget it, don't count you, who called me your brother-in-law, I found your house for you, and I guarantee that I am worthy of the status of a concubine and a viscount, maybe my father will mention your title when you get married." Zhou Shaobin said with a smile.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the living room of the palace, and Zhou Shaobin asked his subordinates to serve good tea, so he asked Ling Yu to stay alone for a while, and personally asked Zhou Ling what he meant.

Zhou Ling was bored reading and writing in the room, thinking of Ling Yu in her heart, she hadn't seen her for some days, Zhou Ling had no choice but to restrain her thoughts, in her spare time, if Zhou Shaobin was at home, someone would chat with her, and Zhou Shaobin would not come back and could only flip through the book like this.

"Xiaohuan, go outside to see if the royal brother has returned." Zhou Ling raised her head and instructed the maid beside her.

She wanted to know about Ling Yu's recent situation, so she naturally counted on Zhou Shaobin.

The maid was blessed, and was about to go out to have a look, when she heard a knock on the door, and then heard Zhou Shaobin say: "Imperial sister, my brother is back, if you have something to ask, open the door if it is convenient." ”

"Brother Huang, come in, Ling'er is bored." Hearing Zhou Shaobin's voice, Zhou Ling's mood instantly improved a lot, not only could she learn about Ling Yu's recent situation, but she could also have someone to chat with her to relieve her boredom.

Zhou Shaobin was not polite, pushed the door in, glanced at Xiaohuan and said, "Xiaohuan, you go down and rest." ”

Xiaohuan blessed and bowed respectfully.

"Brother Huang, why can't you let Xiaohuan listen, she is my personal maid." Zhou Ling was slightly dissatisfied, feeling that Zhou Shaobin did not trust his henchman maid.

"Uh...... It's better to ask for your opinion on this matter first, and let others know that it's not good. Zhou Shaobin said embarrassedly.

"Oh? Since it is so embarrassing, it is better not to say it to the royal brother, so as not to make the imperial sister embarrassed. Zhou Ling teased with a pout.

"I'll talk about it first, if you don't say it, you might blame me too." Zhou Shaobin smiled helplessly.

"Then you say, I'll listen." Zhou Ling folded the book she had read before and put it aside, making a deaf look.

"I invited Brother Ling here, seeing that you haven't seen him for so long, I think you probably miss him very much, so my brother will take the initiative to invite him and let you see him in private." Zhou Shaobin whispered, it was very funny, a bit like being a thief.

"Ah, you...... You...... Isn't that a violation of the law of etiquette? This...... What can I do? When Zhou Ling heard this, she was anxious, of course she wanted to see Ling Yu, after all, she missed it very much, but Zhou Ling, who had been deeply educated in etiquette for many years, didn't know how to choose because of etiquette.

"Imperial sister, my brother thinks it's not a big deal, as long as you don't let the old scholars of the Ministry of Etiquette know, it's fine, you see that I don't even have a small ring for you, if you agree, my brother will arrange it, don't worry." Zhou Shaobin comforted.

Zhou Ling's mind turned, and her thoughts about Ling Yu finally overpowered her fear of etiquette, thinking about it, anyway, it was done in private, and it was safe for her imperial brother to arrange it, so she nodded shyly and agreed, and then sat on the side with a red face and didn't dare to look at Zhou Shaobin.

Zhou Shaobin was very happy when he saw that his sister agreed, and finally he didn't work in vain, which was easy to do, so he said goodbye to Zhou Ling and prepared to go out to arrange a place for them to meet.

"Brother, thank you." Zhou Shaobin was about to leave, when he heard Zhou Ling say.

"What kind of stupid thing to say, I just don't care about your sister, who do you hurt, don't worry, my brother will arrange it for you properly, and don't have any psychological burden, anyway, in a few days, you will be married, wait for my news with peace of mind." After speaking, he looked for Ling Yu without looking back.
