Since he wanted to interrogate clearly, Di Renjie did not delay at all, and Di Feng was called to the study by Di Renjie as soon as he entered the door after the celebration banquet. The speculation about Di Feng's various actions made Di Renjie impatient for a long time, and he went straight to the point and asked: "Intercepting Ningzhou's taxes and concealing them, manipulating Cao Yun, building sailors, operating private property, and controlling the military...... Let me ask you, what is your intention in doing this? ”

Di Feng always thought that what he was doing was very hidden, but he didn't expect Di Renjie to know so much, he couldn't help but blurt out: "How did you know?" ”

As soon as he heard Di Feng's direct question, he didn't even have an honorific title, Di Renjie knew that this was talking about Di Feng's heart, which made him panic, but he still scolded angrily: "Bastard!" Is that what you say to your father? ”

Di Feng hurriedly changed his words: "How did the father know what the child did? ”

Di Feng's father made Di Renjie slow down his tone, "It's not just for my father to know, why is it not just my father who knows your secret actions in Chang'an City, it's just that people don't pay attention to your small actions, you are a guise to be a hundred horses and inner court guards!" ”

When Di Feng heard the "Hundred Horses" and "Inner Court Guard", he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "The saint and the holy queen also know about this?" ”

Di Renjie nodded, and added, "Not only the two saints know, King Pei, Xu Jingzong ......" Halfway through speaking, Di Renjie hesitated for a moment and didn't continue, but changed the topic and asked: "You don't have to worry about these, someone asked about your own father to excuse you, but I just want to know what the purpose of what you are doing?" You have to answer honestly, and don't hide it. ”

"The purpose of concealing Ningzhou's finances is to concentrate the funds to better invest in the construction of Ningzhou, and if you report to the child, I am afraid that I will be intercepted by the imperial court" Di Feng saw that he couldn't hide it, so he had to explain it truthfully to Di Renjie, but he also had reservations about half-truths and half-truths.

"Why don't you state your ruling strategy to the court?" Di Renjie would not let go of any details, and he wanted to deduce Di Feng's true purpose from Di Feng's answer.

"Valuing commerce over agriculture is contrary to the teachings of the sages, how dare you state it to the imperial court? The operation of private property is to solve the problem of children's use in Ningzhou, and the children are also to experience the pros and cons of business and trade.

"Are you still afraid that someone will play you? If it weren't for my father to stop you for you, I'm afraid this fold would have been able to fill this case! All right! If this article is reasonable, how do you explain it? ”

"Cao Yun is a new thing, although Chang'an to the East Capital also has a similar Cao Yun model, but without promotion and verification, the child does not dare to rashly announce it, can only use the silver of Ningzhou to build Cao operation as a pilot, once feasible children will go to the court, and the child has already let Yangzhou Fang Changshi to the imperial court!"

Di Renjie confirmed Fang Renyu's report and Di Feng's words in his heart, and saw that there was no discrepancy, so he nodded and asked, "What about building a water master?" Gu is known to my father, the battleships you built and not only the ships of the Ningzhou Naval Division, where did the other warships go? ”

As soon as Di Renjie mentioned the battleship, Di Feng was in trouble, and he couldn't tell Di Renjie that the battleship was given to Thirteen Niang to rob the Wa Kingdom and Baekje; His heart turned quickly, but Di Feng didn't dare to hesitate at all, Di Renjie was known as a god, as long as he hesitated a little, Di Renjie would see the flaws, Di Feng replied while thinking about how to deal with it: "Maritime is the main financial income of Ningzhou, and maritime business does not compete with farmers for profit, and does not occupy land, it is an industry that children are ready to vigorously develop, but the sea is vast and unpredictable, and it is difficult to protect from the incursion of overseas forces without an armed escort fleet, so the child sent the warship to Quanzhou Lin's house, Let them protect the Lin family, as the forerunner of maritime commerce, and visit overseas countries to explore trade routes. ”

The Lin family in Quanzhou is quite famous, and they have also been rewarded by the imperial court, and Di Feng pushed the matter of the battleship to Lin Zhihuan so that he was not afraid of Di Renjie's suspicion. After all, Lin Zhihuan himself had built a new type of warship as an escort ship.

Sure enough, as soon as Di Renjie heard the Lin family in Quanzhou, he asked: "But have you been to the Lin family in Ryukyu, Mayi, Boni, Zhenla, Lion Country, Persia, Saludu and other places?" ”

Di Feng didn't expect Lin Zhihuan to go to so many places, and secretly said in his heart, "Go back and study with Lin Zhihuan to see if there is anything cheap to make in Southeast Asia." But since Di Renjie knew Lin Zhihuan's name, it would be easy to do, Di Feng nodded hurriedly and said yes.

Di Renjie saw that he was right, and added that he was knowledgeable: "That's it, the Lin family in Quanzhou has been running maritime merchants for generations, and there are dozens of envoys who have followed the Lin family to pay tribute to our Tang Dynasty, and there are many gold, silver and jewelry in overseas countries, so it is a good thing for you to do this."

"Father is right, the child took a fancy to the wealth of these overseas countries, so he used the sailor to escort him, so that the Lin family could exchange some high-yield and practical crops and gold and silver for my Datang" Speaking of overseas crops and jewelry, gold and silver, Di Feng exaggerated the benefits of overseas trade in later generations that he knew.

The more Di Renjie listened, the more surprised he became, he couldn't imagine that overseas countries would be so rich, gold, silver and jewelry, corn, potatoes, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, peppers, ...... Those high-yield crops are simply great treasures, as Di Feng said, if these agricultural products can be brought back, then there will be no famine in the Tang Dynasty, as for what secrets Di Feng still has, Di Renjie can't care about it anymore, and his mind is all attracted by crops.

One question and one answer, Di Feng and Di Renjie talked about the topic of overseas crops and large-scale industries all night, Di Feng said again, Di Renjie remembered again, and Di Renjie would humbly want Di Feng to ask for advice when he met Di Renjie who didn't understand, until Di Feng explained the truth thoroughly, he was willing to give up, and talked until Di Feng couldn't stand it anymore, Di Renjie let Di Feng go back to the room to rest, and before the sky was bright, Di Renjie prepared the carriage and horses and hurriedly entered the palace.

Di Feng yawned and returned to his room to prepare to make up for sleep, the reward had just come down, the meritorious heroes of the Liaodong War still needed, and the resettlement and handover, and the people of the various departments also needed to be dispersed and moved back to their hometowns, so Di Feng was not in a hurry to go to the household department to join the army, he had a lot of time to rest and adjust.

But before Di Feng fell asleep, he heard Di Rong hurrying from outside the door to report that someone outside the house asked to see him.

"Who? It's too early, right? Di Feng muttered to Di Rong.

I haven't seen Di Rong still be like that for more than a year, he replied with a smile: "It's a little lady called ugly, this little lady is amazing and moving at first glance, take a closer look, it's a pity!" I should have a birthmark on my face,...... Master, you said such a good little lady, why should God be so unfair......".

"Ugly!" Di Feng violently interrupted Di Rong's nagging, and hurried towards the door of Di Mansion. (To be continued.) )
