"But the widow is worried that he will provoke the silk merchants, and it will be even more difficult to clean them up in the future."

"The king is relieved, if the silk merchants want to trade, there are still two checkpoints to pass, even if the king gets stuck in any of them, these silk merchants will have nowhere to hide."

"Oh, which two levels?"

"One is Qianyue Mountain. The caravan of the Jin Xuedi people was assembled south of Qianyue Mountain, and they categorically did not dare to carry a large amount of goods into the hinterland of our Central Plains, so as not to be detained, so they would only be delivered at the border, and then there should be royal guests and overseers of the vassal states to be responsible for inspecting the goods of the two countries.

The delivery of gold, silver and goods is carried out in the south, so after the Central Plains merchants and the Jin Xuedi mission traded, they could not get the cash, and the cash still needed to be delivered in one hand after the goods arrived in the south.

Second, the tax department, the tax department of the new casting and dyeing of black gold and silver within two months can be supplied to the country, when the silk merchants want to trade, in exchange for gold and silver coins, and the law prohibits the private minting of gold, silver and copper coins, silk merchants get the gold and silver coins they do not have the imperial court money mother, it is difficult to be relieved to transport to foreign countries to hand over to other countries to cast the Central Plains gold and silver.

Only these two things, silk merchants are inseparable from the imperial court. ”

"Well, what do you think?"

King Xian asked everyone, and Gao Xun took it and said:

"This is feasible, but how to grasp the timing of this transaction, Yongxing Hou can be measured?"

"I don't know how Mooney is going to bid yet, and I can't tell when I can make a bid, but I've fought him more than a dozen times, and I know a lot about his temperament. This shopping mall is like a battlefield, and those envoys of various countries only think that Jin Xuedi is mentally weak, but they don't know that Mooney is a well-informed person who is not a good stubble at all. Look, this time it's probably someone who is going to suffer. ”

"Since Aiqing is so sure, the widow will all rely on Aiqing."

"The king's words are serious, and the food of the king is to share the worries of the king, which is really a matter of responsibility, and the ministers dare not slack off."

"Okay...... With Aiqing's words, the widow will be relieved. But...... The widow heard that King Zhi was also paying attention to this business, and this time he sent Gongliangxiu to come, also because he was familiar with Jin Xuedi, how did Aiqing think he should deal with it? ”

"Back to the king, there is nothing to worry about at this time. Most of the goods required by the Jin Xuedi people, except for brocade, what is owned by Zhi may not be better than that of my Xianguo, and what is owned by my Xian country, Zhiguo may not have it. Especially for fine cloth, Jin Xuedi people have less cotton production, and their cotton cloth is not much, and it is mostly time to weave cloth with velvet antelope and wool defense line, and it is not comfortable to wear it on the body like a washboard, so this good cotton cloth transaction will be a large piece of income.

Although Zhiguo has a large cotton production, it is transported to the south as a commodity transaction, and it is very inconvenient to transport it without water and land. That's why Mooney buys ready-made fine cotton. Looking at the Central Plains, the only country that can supply a large number of fine fabrics of various colors in a short period of time is our Xianguo.

As for the trade of other goods, apart from furs and native products, the minister really can't think of any other goods that cannot be produced and manufactured in our Xianguo. ”

"Very good, how about you drink with the widow in the palace tonight."

"Thank you for the banquet ......"

Everyone spoke in unison, and the next moment Baili Yan said:

"My lord, the minister has a special report to the king, and he will give the king's permission."

"Aiqing, please speak."

"The minister's father-in-law, Guangxin Gong, is critically ill, and the minister wants to rush to Guangxin tomorrow to visit the patient, hoping that the king will be favorable."

When King Xian's face changed greatly when he heard the news, he restrained his pleasant color just now, frowned and said:

"Aiqing has to go to Guangxin tomorrow!"

"Yes. Everything in the capital has been done, and the mission has Su Fangyi, the imperial guest military division, to take care of it, and there will be no loss in the future. The minister only went to Guangxin for a few days, and asked the king for permission. ”

King Xian was silent, his face did not fluctuate, he could not see any anger, everyone looked at Bailiyan, as if they were worried about him for this untimely request, the scene was silent for a long time and no one dared to speak for him, after a while, King Xian spoke:

"If Aiqing wants to go, let's go, and by the way, bring a message to Guangxin Gong for the widow, if he is still alive. Aiqing told Guangxin Gong that he would always be the descendant of the Jiang family, and so did the widow and Fengyangjun. ”

"That's all?!" Bailiyan asked in surprise, hard work means deep meaning.

"That's all. Now, Prince. ”

"My son is here, what does my father command?"

"Arrange a banquet, and the widow wants to invite you Aiqing."

"Obey my father."

King Xian did not have the slightest anger and hatred, he was still full of joy, and Baili Yan thought about it and realized two meanings.

Fengyangjun's death was not King Xian's intention, to a large extent, Gongsun Yue took advantage of the situation to further intensify the internal contradictions in Xianguo, so that Jiang Hai was forced to kill Jiang He due to the situation, and since then, King Xian has been guilty of this to this day. After all, it was his own brother, and it was he who usurped the crown prince.

Now Fengyangjun has been dead for twenty-three years, King Xian is getting old and twilight, Jiang Min is critically ill, and he has been fighting for a lifetime, and in the end he will not escape death.

Seeing Jiang Min go by himself first, King Xian even thought that he was unwilling to go to Jiang He with old grudges and hatred after a hundred years, and took this opportunity to resolve his grievances with Guangxin for many years to comfort his guilt for many years.

That night, the night banquet King Xian was very interested, and in order to prepare for the second day of the court meeting, he still drank a few glasses.

After the banquet was dispersed, Bailiyan went to the Xuan Pavilion to see Su Fangyi, Mooney still learned the details of the Central Plains with Gudappa and Figos Weng's son-in-law, and learned that Bailiyan came again, and Mooney went out to meet:

"If you don't go inside in the middle of the night, what are you doing outside!"

"I'm going out of the city tomorrow, and I'm here tonight to explain to Mr. Su in detail, so that you won't be deceived by the locals after you enter the city, and finally rely on Benhou's head."

"Hmph, you Central Plains people are cunning and abnormal, even children who buy frozen milk will be slippery, I really have to be careful."

"Shhhh I said you, a child who loves frozen milk and plays a little clever, you have to be careful, don't you think you're too much? Forget it, you'll never be able to pee in the same pot. Mr. Su, I am now taking my leave. ”

"Master Hou walks slowly."

Bailiyan turned over and left on her horse, and disappeared into the vast night without a trace.

Su Fangyi turned to Mooney and said:

"Your Excellency, please rest early, and you will enter the palace tomorrow to meet King Xian."

"You Central Plains people are all a problem, and you all love to make mistakes!"

Mooney now regrets a little, regretting seeing Bailiyan again, saying that it is better to see than to hear. For many years, the people of Jin Xuedi only knew that the Central Plains was very chaotic, and there were so many princes that one pair of hands was not enough. But now I am immersed in the scene, but I find that the situation is far more complicated than I thought, which is very messy, and it is a mess at all.

Mooney even began to rejoice that the southern border was not the strongest lineup in the Central Plains back then, and the real masters and calculation masters were more keen to fight each other in the Central Plains, so fierce and ruthless, if they really joined forces to the outside world, they might not be the ones who were beaten in the end.

There is no end to this kind of infighting, and this is perhaps the outcome that Mooney wants to see the most.

At the same time, the prince did not return to the house until late at night, and Xihuan and the others were quite impatient waiting in the bedroom.

"Why didn't the prince return to the house at this time tonight, and he didn't send anyone back to the house to inform him." Xihuan complained, and the sound of the urn between the words was pretentious, like a graceful girl.

The prince sat on the Xihuan couch with a faint displeasure on his face:

"It's my father who won't let me."

"Why is that?"

"It's not Yongxing Marquis, he said that he wanted to dry the silk merchants from all over the world, and his father was able to agree. If it is inevitable to provoke silk merchants, the cabinet will not be allowed to entertain guests from tomorrow. ”

"And here's the thing!" Xihuan was surprised when he heard the news, frowned and asked: "What is the situation at the bottom, and what is the matter with the silk merchant?" ”

The prince told Xihuan the details in detail, complaining like a resentful woman:

"You say, isn't this embarrassing for Prince Ben!"

"In other words, the Marquis of Yongxing is also for the sake of the treasury and the inner government, anyway, if you ascend the throne in the future, the treasury and the inner government are not yours yet."

"But how can this prince explain to those silk merchants."

"It's not easy, just let my uncle and cousin contact me."

The prince's eyes lit up when he heard the news:

"yes, how could I have forgotten. Hehe, Xihuan still knows my heart best......"

took Xihuan into his arms, and the prince hurriedly pushed him onto the couch.

The Yongxing Incident caused the silk merchant aristocrats who supported the Marquis of Ding Yang to suffer a blow due to the dissupport of the Marquis of Ding Yang and the severe blow to Li Xu, and the prince's reduction of power aggravated the contradictions between the local forces of Beihai, Dongyuan, Suidang, and Jiangdong counties, and at the same time, Bailiyan accelerated the implementation of the new policy, further forcing the local magnates of the four counties to move closer to the Jin State.

The Marquis of Dingyang, who lost the support of the local magnates, has been depressed and depressed since then, and has been sick one after another two years ago, and has not been recuperating at home for a long time.

After the crown prince regained power, the wealthy nobles of the four counties who were originally scattered switched to the prince under the convergence of Xihuan. As a result, a large number of local magnates have been re-established in the past few years, and behind the silk weaving mills that have emerged in the capital county in recent years, it is the wealthy households promoted by Xihuan and acquiesced by the prince.

The plan of drying the silk merchant undoubtedly hurt the interests and face of the prince. In this regard, Bai Liyan is clear, what Zhao Xun said before was to remind him to take care of the prince's feelings, but he knew very well that Xihuan was still operating behind the prince, and Uncle Fang was bound to contact the silk merchants behind the scenes, as long as the court did not open their mouths, it would be difficult for these silk merchants to make profits, and the prince could still save face and interests through Uncle Fang.

But there are differences in individual people, and others may not be able to comprehend your kindness, so the prince is not like this.

The next day, Baili Yan went out of the north gate to Guangxin, the king of Xian held a grand meeting ceremony at four o'clock in the morning, and set up a guard of honor outside the Chenghong Hall to receive the Jin Xuedi mission, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the envoys of various countries were all present, the momentum was magnificent, and the foundation of the Xian country for hundreds of years was the most prosperous.

Baili Yan traveled more than 800 miles by day and night, and arrived at Guangxin Mansion on the afternoon of the 19th:

"Young master, the Marquis of Yongxing has arrived."

Staff member Yue Pan hurriedly came to report, and Jiang Qian's spirits perked:

"What about people!"

"I've arrived in the front yard and am talking to Senior Chen."

"You go and tell the county lord and mother, as well as Mr. Luo."

"No."

After explaining the details of Yue Pan, Jiang Qian hurriedly went to the front yard. At the same time, Bailiyan talked to Chen Yunfeng while walking:

"How's my father-in-law doing?"

"Thanks to the ice velvet flower used by the county lord, the danger has now been turned around."

"There were signs of what kind of disease you had."

"Without warning, he suddenly became ill and fainted, and even asked a few Lang Zhong to say that he had suffered a stroke, and Du Langzhong also said that he had a stroke."

"What about the man, can he stay and walk and talk?"

"I am conscious and can speak, but I can't walk yet."

"That's good, that's good......"

The two talked as they walked, and met Jiang Qian in the atrium. Seeing Baili Yan, Jiang Qian stepped forward and bowed:

"Brother-in-law, please bow down to my brother-in-law!"

Bailiyan was taken aback and stepped forward to help:

"Brother-in-law, why is this!"

"If there is no brother-in-law's medicine, my father may no longer be alive, and my brother-in-law's great kindness to me Jiang Qian is unforgettable."

Jiang Qian was very grateful, and when Jiang Min was critically ill, a dose of ice velvet pulled him back from the Ghost Gate, otherwise he would have done the first seven by now.

"Hi...... It's just two strains of medicine, it's not worth mentioning, go and take me there. ”
