Liu Chengfeng didn't dare to hide it from Zhu Youzhang, even if he concealed this kind of thing, he couldn't hide it, he told the truth of the matter, and finally said: "Your Majesty, although the Annan people have a common enmity with Weichen, but for the Annan people, hatred is small, and it is nothing compared to the real interests of the moment, so although I hate Weichen deeply, I have to drive for Weichen." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Zhu Youzhu listened to Liu Chengfeng's words, couldn't help but nod his head, and said slowly: "Your words are thought-provoking and very beneficial to me." ”

Zhu Youzhu is a smart emperor, a smart emperor, and he will soon be able to get inspiration from what Liu Chengfeng just said.

The people of Annam are eager to eat the meat of Liu Chengfeng and sleep on the skin of Liu Chengfeng, but in the end, they still have to flatter Liu Chengfeng and stand firmly on Liu Chengfeng's side, and the matter here is worth pondering.

Zhu Youzhu frowned calmly and fell into deep thought.

Liu Chengfeng took a fancy to Zhu Youzhang's heart and said, "Your Majesty, are you wondering why the people of Annan are like this?" ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Yes, I still can't figure out the joints in this. ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the joint here is very simple, the relationship between the Annan people and Weichen is neither because Weichen is kind to them, nor is Weichen enmity against them, the so-called kindness is actually empty words, the most important thing is that there is a huge stake between Weichen and Annan people, the word profit is the head, no matter what the relationship between Weichen and Annan is, they have to obediently be driven by Weichen." ”

"There are no eternal enemies and friends in the world, only eternal interests!" Liu Chengfeng summed up his words.

Zhu Youzhang's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood.

The Ming Dynasty's method of controlling the vassal state is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is to give both grace and power, in fact, this grace is the benefit, they come to pay tribute every year, and what they want is not a rich reward? And Liu Chengfeng took this interest one step further, directly linked to the vital interests of Annan, even if Annan had a dislike with Liu Chengfeng, he would stand with Liu Chengfeng with a clear banner.

"I understand...... Zhu Youzhu said lightly: "The so-called combination of grace and power is actually a good word, grace is benefit, and the vassal countries can taste the sweetness of tribute, so they continue to worship every year." Wei is also a stake, they are afraid of retaliation, and in this way, from the perspective of stakes, it is naturally more appropriate to be a minister. However, these stakes are still far from making the vassal countries bow down to the Ming Dynasty, and the real stakes should be the same as Annanguo, who is obviously afraid of Liu Aiqing and hates Liu Aiqing, but he can be with Liu Chengfeng and never give up. ”

Zhu Youzhang's eyes narrowed, as if he was reviewing the tributary system, but he couldn't help but shake his head, the imperial court is the imperial court, the imperial court is not Liu Chengfeng, it is impossible for the imperial court to grasp the lifeblood of the vassal country like Liu Chengfeng, there are some things that the business firm can do, but the court can't do it, but this business house is ...... It's not the Zhu family? It's just a change of identity, from an official identity to a businessman.

Zhu Youzhu looked interested: "The trading house has not really shipped goods, and it will be able to dominate the feudal country?" This is interesting, it seems that this treasure firm can benefit immensely. ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "The business house is to fill the gap between the Ming Dynasty and the vassal states, what is inconvenient for His Majesty to do, the business house will do, only if there is an interest in the vassal states, the court can worry." ”

Zhu Youzhu said hesitantly: "Just peddling guns and artillery, will there be any trouble in the future?" ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "Your Majesty don't have to doubt, the craftsmanship of firecrackers and artillery is complicated, and the Nanyang people can't learn it for a while, even if they learn the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty, they are a lot more superb, besides, even if they are sold to them, there are vassal states that are not ministers, and they are used to making artillery and guns, but once the Ming Dynasty interrupts trade with them, then the guns and artillery in their hands will become burning sticks, such enemies, what is there to fear, the Ming Dynasty has earned silver through trade, and can also take the opportunity to buy their mines and ports, Make them more dependent on the Ming Dynasty, which is harmless. ”

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but smile and said: "Anyway, I don't care about this kind of thing, you and the prince will take care of it, I can't ask about your business house." ”

"Old fox." Liu Chengfeng scolded in his heart, he said that he didn't care, in fact, he was afraid of provoking a scratch, after all, Daming's thoughts were still a benevolent word, but the firm was accumulating wealth through cruelty and exploitation, he just asked about it, just let Liu Chengfeng be this bad guy.

This emperor is good at everything, the only bad thing is that he has a good face, and he values face more than anything else, for fear that he will be recorded in the history books with a little stain.

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Weichen understands. ”

Zhu Youzhang's face became serious again, and said: "The top priority at the moment is still the matter of fighting against the Tile Thorns, and it is the right way to train the student army well, and I will give all convenience, but no matter what, you can't let me lose this face......" Zhu Youzhu was silent for a while, and continued: "Even if you lose, you can't lose too badly, as for the matter of the firm, you should put it aside for the time being, and when the matter of the private battle is clear, then come and tinker with your novelty." ”

In fact, Zhu Youzhu really doesn't have much confidence, so his hope for Liu Chengfeng is just not to lose too embarrassed, at least not to collapse at the touch of a button, so that the court will save some face.

Liu Chengfeng smiled bitterly in his heart, but he also knew that it was useless to say more at this time, and swore solemnly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, if Weichen does not succeed, he will become benevolent, and he will never lose the face of the court." ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled at him, picked up a Chinese book, and said: "Your words are too heavy, it's just a matchup, what kind of benevolence, it's like I forced you to make a military order, just let you retract your heart, train the student army well, and go all out." ”

After that, he said slowly: "You go down, a lot of gossip, it's not when I tell you, everything will be said after the battle." ”

Liu Chengfeng got up to say goodbye, came out of the Zhengxin Palace, and couldn't help exhaling, in fact, what Zhu Youzhu said was not wrong, now everything must revolve around the private battle after nine days, this battle is good, naturally the court has face, and he has credit, but if the fight is not good, there will be people who fall into the well at that time.

Not to mention...... In Liu Chengfeng's mind, he swept over the prejudice again, and when the victory or defeat was announced, it should be a break with the Ministry of Industry and the Contribution Bureau.

He clenched his fists, he didn't listen to a word of Zhu Youjiao's warnings, what difficulties, what kind of involvement and movement of the whole body, it was all fake, but the emperor couldn't make up his mind, this determination, Liu Chengfeng came to Zhu Youzhang for him.

It's a little cold outside the hall, I don't know when, there was a light rain in the sky, the light rain stopped, when Liu Chengfeng came out, he only saw a little water dropping under the eaves, and the bluestone slab was also wet, and the cold wind went straight into the body through his clothes, so that Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but shiver.

At this time, a eunuch ran out of the Zhengxin Hall and called: "Master Hou stays." ”

Liu Chengfeng stopped and stopped.

The little eunuch came panting, stopped in front of Liu Chengfeng, and said: "Hou Ye, Your Majesty ordered, saying that the weather is getting cold, and I am afraid that Hou Ye's body will not be able to bear it, so I have already asked someone to fetch clothes, Hou Ye wait, someone will take cold clothes from the inner library." ”

Zhu Youzhu is indeed a careful emperor, Liu Chengfeng's heart couldn't help but warm, and the competitive heart in his stomach couldn't help but disappear a little, and said with a slight smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace." ”

The little eunuch didn't say anything anymore, everyone in the palace knew that the relationship between Liu Chengfeng and the eunuch Xiao Gonggong was a little stiff, who was too close to Liu Chengfeng, and it was not easy to mix in this palace. Even if Xiao Jing doesn't blame him, the people below will figure out Xiao Gonggong's intentions, right?

The eunuch didn't speak, Liu Chengfeng didn't bother to pay attention, waited for a while, and sure enough, he saw a eunuch take a fox fur, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but be speechless, although the weather is cold, but it's only late autumn, isn't it overkill to take a fox fur? Wouldn't it be hot to die when you put it on?

But since it was sent, Liu Chengfeng was not polite, hastily draped it on his body, and then went out along the Jinshui Bridge through the noon gate, there was already a carriage waiting outside, Liu Chengfeng got into the carriage and returned directly to the Wen family, in the next few days, he will spend time in the commercial house, concentrating on training the student army, so he has to go back home first to get some ordinary supplies and then go over.

The things have been prepared by Wen Chenxi, Wen Chenxi saw Liu Chengfeng coming back in a fox fur, and couldn't help but secretly wonder, when he asked in the past, he couldn't help but smile, and said: "Since it is a gift, it seems that it needs to be properly preserved, but it can't be worn out in such weather, I asked Xian'er to bring a coat." ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded, took off the fox fur, and after a while, Xian'er took the clothes and said with a smile: "Uncle is out of the city this time, and he will come back in a few days. ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "Really? "I'm sorry to go see Wen Chenxi.

Wen Chenxi hurriedly said: "What's the matter, when did Xian'er become so broken-mouthed, my husband doesn't have to listen to her nonsense." ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said: "There is nothing in the world, but I, a mediocre person, always disturb myself, don't be surprised by Chenxi, wait for the time to find it, I'll take you to play, it's better like this, when, you can go to the business house with Chenruo to see me, anyway, it's not far from Jingshi, it won't be anything to choose a few healthy family members to accompany you, you can call someone to say hello before you come, and I will ask someone to escort you." ”

"Really?" Wen Chenxi seriously swept a trace of surprise, if Liu Chengfeng is often away from home, she has no complaints at all, it is naturally fake, who doesn't want her husband to accompany her at night, but Wen Chenxi is sensible after all, and knows what is a big thing and what is a small thing, so she doesn't dare to complain in her mouth, but if you have time, you can go to the business house to have a look, which is also a good thing, but Wen Chenxi was too excited, which made Wen Chenxi feel a little shy, so she had to say: "Chenruo has long wanted to go there to have a look, since she likes it so much, then look for an opportunity, I, as a sister, accompany her, and I should come out to breathe. ”

Liu Chengfeng was funny in his heart, obviously he wanted to come, but he insisted on using Chenruo as a shield, but he knew his wife's surname, so he didn't dare to make fun of it, and hurriedly followed the meaning of her words: "Great, then the husband will wait for the master when the time comes."
