Hearing Yan Yuru's question about how he should choose, he didn't answer in a hurry, but asked Yan Yuru with a smile: "Yuru, if your father wants to be unfavorable to the king of the county, what will you do then?" ”

"Me?" Yan Yuru couldn't help but be stunned when she heard her brother's rhetorical question, and then there was a confused look on her face, and after a while, she shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I like my current life very much, and I don't want to help me anymore." ”

"Yuru, your temperament has been a little weak since you were a child, otherwise you wouldn't have been held hostage by that person with family affection for so many years." Hearing his sister's answer, he sighed and said.

"Big brother, you ......" Yan Yuru was stunned when she heard Kong's words, because she heard a trace of unusual meaning from Kong's words.

"It's time to make a decision, we can't let him continue to be wrong like this, but you don't have to worry about this matter, I'll deal with it!" At this time, he said very calmly, but when he said the end, a trace of pain flashed on his face, if he was forced to do so, he didn't want to go to this last step.

"What are you going to do, big brother, my father's whereabouts are secret, even we don't know his true identity now, and he still has a powerful force in his hands, and he has the support of the Liao State behind him, although the Liao State is in civil strife, his power in the Great Song Dynasty has not been affected, how can you fight him alone, big brother?" Yan Yuru couldn't help but persuade anxiously when she heard Kong's words, {For her father, she no longer has any family affection, and it is precisely because of this that she doesn't want anything to happen to the only brother in front of her.

"Don't worry, Yuru, I know more about that person's situation than you, and even a few years ago, I already knew his true identity." When Sora said this, he couldn't help but show a sneer on the corner of his mouth. It is precisely after knowing the true identity of that person that he no longer has any feelings for that person, and he can even be said to have some hatred.

"But even if you know his identity, what can you do with him, big brother, and don't hurt him, big brother, okay? He is our father after all! When Yan Yuru said the end, there was also a painful look on her face. No matter how ruthless her father is, in her heart, the other party is still her relative.

"Don't worry, I already have a complete plan, I just need to catch him and leave here with him, and I will definitely not hurt him." At this time, he also sighed and said, although he hated the so-called father very much, but as a son. But he would never be able to kill his father.

Hearing Sora say this, Yan Yuru breathed a sigh of relief, and she didn't ask what Sora's plan was, because she knew that even if she asked, the eldest brother would not tell herself.

In the afternoon, he still went to Xianwei to listen to Zhao Yan's lecture, and then said goodbye to Zhao Yan and returned to his own Xiangji Temple. It's just that as soon as he returned to his residence, he immediately picked up a pen and wrote a letter. Then he took out a carrier pigeon from the side yard, tied it to the pigeon's leg and released it, as for the rest he could only wait, after all, he did not know when that person would suddenly appear?

On this day, Zhao Yan took a rare leave, and then went to the palace in a carriage, accompanied by Princess Dening, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang. This time, they entered the palace mainly to solve the trouble encountered by Princess Dening's fleet, and the only person who could solve this trouble was Zhao Shu.

"Hey, why did you four sisters and brothers come together?" Zhao Shu, who was reviewing the folds, saw Zhao Yan and the four of them coming in, and he was also very surprised. Speaking of that, after moving from Zhao Yan to live outside the city, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang also lived with Zhao Yan all the year round, and the youngest son Zhao Yan also studied with Zhao Yan, which made Zhao Shu only have Zhao Yan's eldest son to accompany him.

"Giggles, the third brother cured my father's illness before, and my sisters have long wanted to come to visit their father." Princess Dening was the oldest, of course, she was the first to smile and laugh, and at this time, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang also stepped forward and asked about Zhao Shu's body with concern, which made Zhao Shu laugh happily.

Princess Dening and the three of them accompanied Zhao Shu to talk, and Zhao Yan also interjected a few words from time to time, and finally Princess Dening and the others got up to say goodbye, because they still had to go to the palace to ask Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Gao to say goodbye, Zhao Shu did not keep them, but just told them to come to see themselves often in the future.

After sending off Princess Dening, Zhao Shu looked at Zhao Yan and asked with a smile: "Say, today you sisters and brothers suddenly came to see me together, you must not have any good intentions, did you encounter any trouble again?" ”

"Hehe, Daddy, you have wronged Erchen and others, this time Erchen and his sisters came, in fact, there is a matter of making a fortune to discuss with Daddy." Zhao Yan heard Zhao Shu's words, but he said with a hippie smile.

"Rich?" Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment when he heard this word, and then laughed and said, "I don't have the time to accompany your brothers and sisters to do business, so if there is anything to make a fortune, you should do it yourself!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Shu didn't understand what he meant, Zhao Yan immediately explained: "Daddy, you misunderstood, Erchen didn't say that he wanted to do business, but wanted to open up a financial road for the imperial court, with this financial road, I dare not say that the imperial court will no longer be short of money in the future, but the annual income is definitely beyond Daddy's imagination!" ”

Zhao Shu couldn't help but look at him in shock when he heard Zhao Yan's words, he knew Zhao Yan's character, if he didn't have a perfect certainty, I'm afraid he would never dare to say these words. Thinking of this, Zhao Shu couldn't help but be a little excited: "Yan'er, what do you mean by wealth?" ”

"In fact, the imperial court has noticed this financial route, and that is the maritime trade in the south." Zhao Yan said with a light smile.

"Haimao?" Zhao Shu couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard this, "I know that the benefits of maritime trade are very rich, but the risks taken are also very great, and the imperial court can't transport goods to sell like those merchants, so it can only collect some taxes, although this kind of income is a lot, but it is actually very limited." ”

"Hehe, Daddy is wrong, the benefits of sea trade are far more than what you see, not to mention anything else, just the abundance of overseas products is enough for me to covet in the Great Song Dynasty......"

Zhao Yan said that he talked about the overseas products he knew, especially the products in Nanyang, such as spices, gold, copper mines, rice and grain, etc., these things were urgently needed by the Great Song Dynasty, and every time Zhao Yan said the same, Zhao Shu's eyes would brighten a little.

Finally, when Zhao Yan finished speaking, Zhao Shu's saliva was about to flow out, and it was the first time he knew that Nanyang, which had always been regarded as a wild land by the Great Song Dynasty, was so rich. But soon Zhao Shu shook his head and sighed: "Yan'er, although these things you talked about are good, but they are all on other people's land, and the distance is far away, we can't drive a boat to grab it, right?" ”

I really want to grab it. Zhao Yan thought in his heart, but he only dared to think about this sentence in his heart, after all, this era is different from later generations, this is an era that pays attention to etiquette, righteousness and shame, and everything is famous for being a teacher, if it is only because Yan is greedy for other people's wealth and robs, it will definitely be attacked by the crowd all over the world, Zhao Yan doesn't want to bear this infamy.

"Daddy, we can't rob it, but we can do business with those locals, our silk and porcelain in the Great Song Dynasty are very popular goods, sometimes just need a plate, you can exchange a lot of spices and gold, such a good business naturally can't be abandoned." Zhao Yanyan said insincerely.

"But aren't those maritime merchants already doing this kind of business?" Zhao Shu asked strangely at this time, he didn't understand what was the difference between the sea trade that Zhao Yan said and the current sea trade?

"Daddy, now we do have a lot of maritime merchants in the Great Song Dynasty who are engaged in maritime trade, including the eldest sister's family also has a fleet, but these maritime merchants do not have a unified organization, and they have no contact with each other, and they will even compete because of business, which is not a good thing for the development of maritime trade."

Zhao Yan paused here when he said this, and then said: "In addition, the ships of the maritime merchants are driving on the sea, and the most feared thing is two things, the first is the wind and waves at sea, this is a natural disaster, we can only try our best to avoid it, and improve the ship to increase the safety of navigation." The second is piracy, these pirates are rampant on the sea, and even the land is the king, leviing heavy taxes on passing maritime merchants, which can easily lead to the destruction of ships and deaths, it can be said that the danger of pirates has exceeded natural disasters, and it is also the most feared thing for maritime merchants. ”

After Zhao Shu heard what Zhao Yan said, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Yan'er, what kind of plans do you have for this, might as well say it directly?" ”

Zhao Yan was also waiting for Zhao Shu's words, and at the moment he said excitedly: "Daddy, what I mean is this, the current maritime trade is so chaotic, it is better for the imperial court to come forward and organize those loose maritime merchants, and then distribute and manage them by the imperial court, in addition, these maritime merchants who are willing to obey the command of the imperial court can also get some benefits, such as the imperial court can send warships to escort them, so that they are not oppressed by robbers......

"Wait a minute, it's no problem for the imperial court to come forward to organize maritime merchants, but if you send warships, it will cost a lot of money every time, and the imperial court can't afford it!" Zhao Shu suddenly interrupted Zhao Yan at this time.

Hearing Zhao Shu's words, Zhao Yan laughed and said: "Daddy, why is he so confused, our court naturally can't just contribute without collecting money, those maritime merchants want to be protected by the imperial court, naturally they have to pay a part of the taxes, and the imperial court can also participate in the maritime trade, these are all money!"
