It was already afternoon, and the sun was unusually good.

When Lai Yanbei was restless, he heard that Su You had returned, so he hurriedly got up and trotted all the way to the door.

Su You handed the horse to Xiao Jiu, then took off his gloves and handed them to Lai Yanbei, and asked with a smile, "Miss me?" After saying this, Su You immediately remembered the oath he had made in the morning, so his smile froze.

Lai Yanbei obviously didn't know what Su You was shocked in his heart, and he was noncommittal to his question, and only asked, "There is nothing important in the court, right?" ”

Women are not allowed to interfere in politics, although they come to Yanbei to care about Su You, they can only inquire about it sideways.

After the two returned to the hall and sat down, Su You took a sip of tea before asking with a smile, "One bad news or one worse, which do you want to hear first?" ”

Looking at Su You's smile, Lai Yanbei's heart relaxed a little, but when he heard the bad news from Su You's mouth, he was inevitably a little apprehensive, and said angrily, "Don't you often say that news is just news, not good or bad?" It may be bad news for you, but it might just be news for me? Say, don't sell it. ”

Su You shook his head and said with some embarrassment, "Your Majesty called me to me, and the first news I told me was that Princess Yuerong left a book and ran away. ”

"Really? This is very bad, very bad news indeed. Lai Yanbei covered his mouth in disbelief, stared at Su You's face and muttered.

Su You nodded with some regret and asked seriously, "The princess seems to have come to see you off that day, didn't she show you her bottom in advance?" ”

Lai Yanbei shook her head, Yang Suyan did come on the day of her wedding, and when she cried and married, she also persuaded her sisters-in-law on the side; As for what Yang Suyan said at that time, when he came to Yanbei, he was only focused on Su You, how could he listen to it?

However, why is it so familiar to talk about getting married and running away without makeup?

"She went to the Jingnian Monastery, but fortunately she was not impulsive enough to become a monk." Su You didn't get any useful information from Lai Yanbeikou, so he still supplemented what he hadn't finished saying.

"Ahh When I came to Yanbei, I heard that Yang Suyan went to the Jingnian Zen Temple, and I couldn't help but whisper, just now I thought that Yang Suyan's departure had some familiar feelings, it turned out that Yang Suyan was not like Turandot's escape marriage, but probably because the person he liked was already a husband.

Back then, Yang Fanruo fled, and today he came to Yanbei to marry, and he also fled without makeup. ――Is this just a coincidence?

"What's wrong?" Hearing Laiyanbei's somewhat abrupt expression, Su You asked puzzled.

"Nope. I just didn't think that I would be so resolute without makeup, so what does Your Majesty mean? Lai Yanbei hurriedly shook his head to cover up the past, and asked Yang Guang about his intentions to divert this embarrassment.

His Majesty was anxious at first, but after confirming that the princess was safe and sound, he seemed to let go. If I had seen him yesterday, perhaps he would have arranged for me to do something for the princess, but today he was indifferent. It seems that he is just talking to me about the princess, and it will be over after speaking. ”

After listening to Su You's words, Lai Yanbei finally relieved himself from Yang Suyan's departure, and remembered what Su You said at the beginning, and still couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty just asked you to go over and chat?" Didn't you just say that there was two pieces of bad news? That's one. ”

Su You smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Someone impeached Zhang Xin, the Shou of Pengcheng County, and His Majesty wants me to leave for the south in advance, and the time is set for three days." ”

"Three days later?" Of course, Lai Yanbei would not think that Su You would use the name of the emperor to joke with him, but last night's proverb suddenly became a reality, which really made it difficult for people to come back to their senses.

Although when she got up today, Yanbei also warned Su You not to indulge in the love of men and women, but if she was separated, it would still be difficult for her to accept it, she only felt that Yang Guang was too unkind.

"Originally, he wanted me to leave tomorrow, but aren't we going back tomorrow? So I ruthlessly rejected him. Su You didn't expect to come to Yanbei and become a little depressed, but think about it, men and women who have only been married for a few days, who can be separated so easily?

Although Lai Yanbei was dissatisfied with Yang Guang's arrangement, he also knew that this was his importance to Su You, so he quickly adjusted his mood and forced a smile, "You are really not, Your Majesty sent you to do things, it is thankless to think about it, tomorrow you have to talk to your father about the beginning and the end, and see if you can sort it out earlier." ”

Su You nodded and said with a smile, "Actually, when it comes to the matter of Jingluo Southeast, I have some immature ideas, but to do it, I am afraid that it will cost more money." ”

"Really? I thought you" came to Yanbei and smiled a little embarrassedly, Su You has been busy preparing for the wedding these days, and the two have not been separated for a moment after getting married, she also thought that Su You didn't think about this trip that was supposed to leave after the beginning of spring.

Su You didn't know what was going on in Yanbei's heart, so he just continued intently, "Your Majesty is called this Southeast Economic Envoy, and you probably like my idea of accumulating money that day, right?" In fact, I had a discussion with His Majesty and Pei Shilang about how to collect money before, so Pei Shilang went to Zhangye to study the Western Regions. Now His Majesty has asked me to pass through the southeast, probably because he wants me to open up the sea route. ”

"By sea?" Coming to Yanbei muttered, the ancient people didn't know much about the sea route at all, that kind of place was too mysterious and dangerous, at least they couldn't think of this method when they came to Yanbei, but Yang Guang's vision was obviously far beyond all the people in this era.

"During last year's World Expo, many foreign envoys came from Yangzhou, and these people came to Yangzhou from overseas. These men were merchants, not real messengers, but they were respectable enough to sail across the ocean with just a few small boats. If I can open up the sea route, more people will definitely flock to Yangzhou and throw themselves into the arms of the Great Sui. Su You said his thoughts passionately, if his ideas can come true, this is the real dynasty of all nations.

"How do we open up this sea trade route?" Coming to Yanbei to listen to Su You's words, he was also a little excited, if Su You could realize his statement, his achievements would never be under Pei Shiju, because the Silk Road to the Western Regions had long been opened by Zhang Jian of the former Han Dynasty, but what about the maritime trade routes?

Wouldn't Su You want to be the first person to open up the Maritime Silk Road?

"Businessmen are very profitable, as long as there is 100% profit, some people dare to speculate; As long as there is a 200% profit, some people dare to take risks; As long as there is a 300% profit, someone will dare to kill people and oversell goods! When Su You rubbed his hands and said Marx's remarks in his own words, he was so excited that he took Yanbei's hand, and the two walked to the study together.

"That's terrible, Yokona, what is this for?" Coming to Yanbei looked so scared, let Su You pull him, but he couldn't figure it out.

"What about the map? I'm going to make some corrections to my previous thoughts. Su You took out a scroll from a half-human-tall porcelain vase and spread it out on the table.

"What is this?" Lai Yanbei looked at the somewhat rough map drawn by Su You and asked puzzledly.

"This is our map of Dasui, this is Goryeo, this is Silla, this is Baekje," Su You said proudly, and his hand began to point to the upper right of the map.

"Yokonaba, did you draw it yourself? Nobody knows, right? Lai Yanbei asked with some concern, it is not a joke to say that the matter of private possession of maps can be so big that you can be charged with rebellion.

Su You nodded, he naturally knew that Yanbei was worried, and then whispered, "I know, but we are the envoys of the southeast, how can we not have a map of the southeast?" You see, this is the eastern capital, this is Yangzhou, this is Hangzhou"

Lai Yanbei looked at it carefully, before seeing Su You's map, she only knew that the territory of the Great Sui was vast, but how could she have thought that the land of the Great Sui was actually on the avenue?

The land of the Great Sui is a few feet square, while the eastern capital is only the size of a duck's egg, and Hangzhou and Yangzhou are only the size of a seal

Is this really the world we live in?

The moment she saw the map drawn by Su You, her eyes also broadened, and she had a further understanding of Su You, and she also had more confidence in his future.

"Yokona, you just talked about profit, what are you going to do?" Lai Yanbei asked this question with some anticipation, and thought depressedly that it would be nice if he could be by his side and watch him realize his ideas.

Su You snapped his fingers and pointed out one, two, three, "To maximize the profits of merchants, the first thing to do is, of course, to reduce taxes, which is not contradictory to the purpose of our tax collection, as long as the number of transactions increases, the commercial tax will naturally come up." The first thing I want to do is to lower taxes. Secondly, it is necessary to increase the volume of freight transportation for merchants each time, and shorten the freight cycle. ”

Coming to Yanbei has no doubts about the first point, but the next two points are a little cloudy, "Increasing freight volume is to build a big ship?" But what about shortening the cycle? ”

"You're right, during the World Expo, that Hu Shangbade asked His Royal Highness the King of Qi to sell him a few big ships, wasn't it because they didn't have the shipbuilding technology of the Great Sui? If they had a big ship, and they could carry a large ship dozens or hundreds of times more than their own small ship, wouldn't they rush to it? ”

After Su You said this, he pointed to the map and continued, "Of course, while building a big ship, we also have to build a wharf where the big ship can berth, which is related to shortening the freight cycle." I plan to build the world's largest wharf in Yangzhou, and to build ports in these two places to serve as transit and supply points. ”

The places Su You refers to, one is Qingdao and the other is Quanzhou, both of which are suitable for building deep-water docks.

Qingdao is the birthplace of Haiyan in China, ranking among the four ancient salt areas and five ancient ports, and it is also the earliest place in China to make an ocean-going voyage. And the person who led the ocean-going fleet was named Xu Fu.

Although Qingdao has a glorious past, it was not paid attention to before the Tang and Song dynasties, and it is obviously a virgin land that Suyou wants to develop.

As for the port of Quanzhou, it belonged to Jian'an County at this time, and if it were not for the arrival of Su You, she would have become the world's largest port four hundred years later, and it would have become the starting point of the recognized Maritime Silk Road.

It was this port that brought Quanzhou the prosperity of "people from ten continents in the market" and "merchants of all countries in the sound of the rising sea" in the Song and Yuan dynasties, making Quanzhou one of the largest cities in the world at that time, creating this ancient city, and contributing to the diverse culture of the whole city.

Because of Suyou, Jian'an County will become a shining pearl in the East in advance.
