Chapter 398: A Contest in the Dark

"Bastard!"

In the vertical arch hall, Zhao Lao Er angrily slapped a secret piece in his hand on the case in front of him. Wang Jien, who was reporting the matter to Zhao Laoer, was immediately taken aback, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is angry!" ”

"Get up."

Zhao Lao'er, who calmed down a little, may feel that this is a bit out of shape, so he casually ordered in a light tone.

"I wonder why Your Majesty is angry?" Wang Jien got up from the ground in embarrassment, only to find that Zhao Lao Er didn't seem to be angry with him, so he asked cautiously and softly.

"Wen Qihang, that kid is getting more and more out of proportion." Zhao Lao Er rubbed his temples and said.

"........" Wang Jien was a little confused, he was just reporting to the emperor about the things that Qihang had done to stabilize the price of cattle in the past few days. In his opinion, in this matter, the measures taken by Wen Qihang are quite remarkable. At least the current bull price has been successfully suppressed below 100 percent, and there is a possibility that it will continue to bottom out.

Since the errand was done successfully, I don't know why the emperor was angry.

"Wenjue, this errand should be handled properly, right?" Wang Jien cautiously tentatively said.

"He did okay with this errand. I'm talking about something else........" Zhao Lao Er seemed to be a little angry when he said this, and he took a long breath before continuing: "That bastard, not only instigated Zhao'er to open a money bank to release Yinzi money, but also instigated my people of the Great Song Dynasty to be human traffickers, it is simply audacious!" ”

"Ah........h Wang Jien's surprised mouth was almost closed.

"Check it out!" Zhao Lao Er threw Wu Desi's secret report to Wang Jiendao.

Wang Jien hurriedly caught the secret report that flew over, examined it carefully, looked at it, and the cold sweat on his head couldn't stop flowing.

instigating the eldest princess of the Great Song Dynasty to lend usury, this is simply smearing the royal face! Not only that, but it also argues convincingly about the feasibility of human trafficking.

Once this matter becomes a trend, what face does the Great Song Dynasty have to be the co-master of the world. On top of the glorious history, the Great Song Dynasty is also destined to be spurned for 10,000 years.

"This, this........ Wen Jue is just arguing, probably not really! Wang Jien wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with the sleeve of his robe and said with a stumbling voice.

"He wouldn't be like that, but he was so wanton in public........ It's just damning! Zhao Lao Er gritted his teeth and said.

"Ah........?" Wang Jien said in surprise: "However, if the secret report is written correctly, there were only Zhang Yudai and others and a few followers from the four seas who were present, so I think Wen Jue's remarks will not spread!" ”

Zhao Lao Er snorted and said: "Commander Zhang and the others naturally know the measure, but those who are in the four seas are difficult to say. ”

"Ping Dart is young and promising, and he doesn't want to come, so he doesn't know the general situation!" The corners of Wang Jien's mouth twitched slightly.

"Darts are convenient for darts, and they have always been entangled with those bandits. Besides, how could he do this kind of thing himself! It was written in the secret report that there were three dart masters from all over the world who were accompanying Wen Qihang at that time.

Now it seems that nine times out of ten, the remarks of the bastard who heard Qihang have already spread. ”

“........”

Wang Jien couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, what the emperor said was right, this remark must have been publicized a long time ago. Since the Four Seas Dart Company wants to open up the Luzhong Trade Road, the bandits along the way will inevitably hinder it, and if they want to reduce losses and expand profits, they can only give those bandits a place to eat.

What's more, darts are convenient for darts, and they have always had dealings with bandits, and now they see that the bandits' good days are coming to an end. Whatever the reason, even if it is just for the sake of meeting each other in the future, it will also give the bandits a way out, lest they jump off the wall in a hurry.

In order to maintain the safety of the trade route and increase taxes, the imperial court will inevitably increase the crackdown on the bandits along the way, even if the bandits do not want to leave their homeland to sell people on the vast sea.

After all, if you go to the sea, you can still have a way to live, but on the land, you will definitely die.

This is an upright conspiracy, and no one can do anything about it.

"Good boy, revenge is on me!" Zhao Lao Er said hatefully. Since everyone is not stupid, of course, there are some things that you know.

The reason why Zhao Lao Er ignored the rules and insisted on establishing the Princess Mansion in Guanlou Village was because after inspecting Guanlou Village, he found that it would become very prosperous in the future.

Of course, there is no problem in becoming rich, but in the vicinity of Gyeonggi, a lord's fiefdom has become rich under the rule of a nobleman, and it is more expensive than the rest of the same region, which is very problematic.

No contrast, no harm!

At that time, only Guanlou Village was rich, and other places were still poor, which would show how incompetent the imperial court was.

But once the princess's mansion is stationed, it becomes simpler. The reason why this place is prosperous is, of course, all thanks to the princess's mansion and the royal gifts.

Zhao Lao Er can be 100% sure that he is taking revenge when he hears that he is setting sail. In order to retaliate for his immoral behavior of picking peaches, he put a black cauldron of human trafficking on his head.

In the future, no matter how long time has passed, as long as people mention the Great Song Dynasty, they will think of the slave trade, and this will become the biggest stain on his life.

Zhao Lao Er snorted lightly: "My cheapness is not so easy to take advantage of!" ”

"Then this matter, should ........" Wang Jien grinned, and stopped talking.

"Since he has done a successful job on this errand, of course he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and when he finishes dealing with the follow-up problems, he will be announced to enter the palace, and I will reward him in person." Zhao Lao Er smiled playfully.

"Yes........" Wang Jien couldn't help smacking his lips. He now wanted to mourn for Wen Qihang, speaking of this conspiracy, who in the world could be the opponent of this emperor, but this one won the world by scheming alone. Wen Qihang, this kid is young and vigorous, he doesn't want to suffer, and he doesn't look at who the opponent is. It's good to be remembered now!

"By the way, call Zhao'er, I have something to ask her." Zhao Lao Er added.

"Yes, the little one will be searched." Wang Jien responded.

Zhao Lao Er frowned and said, "Zhao'er, she is not in the palace?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the princess has been looking around the city for shops in recent days........" Wang Jien said after observing his words.

"It seems that Zhao'er is quite concerned about this matter!" Zhao Lao Er groaned.

Wang Jien pondered for a moment and said, "The little one thinks that the princess is a good heart, but it's just ........ It's just that it can't be lawless. ”

"It's good to have a heart, but there are things that are not easy for royalty to do." Zhao Lao Er sighed lightly.

"Your Majesty is very true."

"Go ahead. The secret report did not say anything about this matter, and Zhao'er had to be asked in person. Zhao Lao Er thought for a while.

"No." Wang Jien bowed his hand and responded.
