"You've been making a lot of money lately?" Jiang Nuan narrowed his eyes.

"Of course not," Huang Xiaosan was immediately alert, "Small business, small profits, insufficient food and clothing, mother, what do you want to do?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Nuan smiled meaningfully, "Have you forgotten who paid the principal for doing business?" ”

"Do you want to pay it back?"

Hearing this, Jiang Nuan threw him a look that he understood.

"In-laws," the golden shopkeeper hurriedly relieved his son-in-law, "What are your plans?" What can we do if we want silver without silver, if we want people without people? ”

"There is more money and less money, and people are the same, the specific result depends on the individual's creation," paused, Jiang Nuan reminded, "There must be risks in this matter, but the benefits are also large, and there will be people who take most of the risks, as long as they can come back, they will definitely be able to make a small profit, go and don't look at personal thoughts, don't force it, go back and discuss it with the family, and I will make arrangements!" ”

"I want to go to the Western Regions!" Han Qi hurriedly shouted.

"You want to go to the Western Regions?" Jiang Nuan frowned, and asked tentatively, "Is it you yourself or send someone?" ”

"Myself," Han Qi's eyes were full of excitement, "There are many beauties in the Western Regions, it is said that there are many kinds of customs, and it is worth this life to have the opportunity to see it." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Nuan had a black line.

"You tell Han Yi about this, and he agrees with you to go."

"What does it have to do with him, I am his son, not his son!"

"Perhaps," Huang Xiaosan thought thoughtfully, "Brother Han Yi is afraid that you will bring him back a red-haired and green-eyed younger brother!" ”

Hearing this, Han Qi's face turned red, ashamed and angry, angry and angry, and couldn't help but roar, "You rabbit cubs, can you think of something normal!" ”

"I don't recommend my brother to go," Jiang Nuan shook his head, "It's a long journey." Endless winds and sands, and countless crises, too dangerous. ”

These are secondary, mainly because I am afraid that he will be too stupid and sweet to be biased, and then I will put myself in it.

"No," Han Qi was resolute, "I definitely can't miss this opportunity." ”

When he was young, he fantasized about traveling everywhere, but he was pressed by the old man in the family to give birth to a child, and when the child was born, the old man let himself set an example for the child, plus there were more beauties in Fucheng, and the mind of going out was light.

Hearing this today, this thought suddenly became stronger.

I always feel that I have been nested in southern Henan all my life, too aggrieved, and I feel like a sparrow, and I am locked in a cage.

"You tell Han Yi this."

After Jiang Nuan finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to him anymore.

The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, Han Yi can make Han Qi mess around to have a ghost!

"We'll talk about it then."

Han Qi became irritable.

He always felt that his unfilial son would not agree.

"I'm going to think about it again," said the shopkeeper after serious contemplation, "this matter is too big, and I have to discuss it with Akiyama and them." ”

"Don't rush, think slowly!"

Jiang Nuan's words were like throwing a depth charge, setting off wild waves, and almost everyone's hearts were not calm.

Huang Xiaosan was very concerned about this matter, and as soon as he left, he immediately found Jiang Nuan, "Mother, when can I go to the Western Regions, and with whom?" ”

"Auntie, why did you suddenly think of this?"

So, Jiang Nuan simply explained the matter.

"Mother," Huang Xiaosan was very excited, "Are you sure that the Holy Lord will send someone?" ”

"Eighty percent sure!"

"Can we really take a ride?"

"There is no doubt about this," Jiang Nuan said helplessly, "If there is no accident, one of your brothers must follow." ”

Hearing this, Huang Xiaosan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"Mother, how about I go?"

"Don't think about things so simply," Jiang Nuan said funny, "Even if you follow the imperial court, this matter is not so simple, it is hard and dangerous, and it may be empty." ”

Jiang Nuan wanted his third son to go, but today he found that others were too eager for quick success and not calm enough.

For a while, he hesitated.

"Don't be afraid, it's not like this when you do business, the greater the risk, the more you gain."

"It's best if you have this awareness."

Time passed in a long torment.

In the middle of the night, Ji Xuan rushed over and found Jiang Nuan directly.

"Mrs. Jiang, is what is written in the letter true?"

"Yes, what is the Holy One's plan?"

Hearing this, Ji Xuan fell silent.

Naturally, he wanted to take those treasures back now, but it wasn't realistic.

Not to mention whether the courtiers will agree, even the consumption of the army cannot afford it, and besides, there are no elite soldiers.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is nothing but ambition!

"I'm very unwilling!"

"How?"

"The Great Zhou is vast and vast, the territory is vast, and the people are industrious and down-to-earth, working hard, but they still can't eat."

"This reason can only be attributed to the low productivity of the entire society, and the saint does not have to blame himself."

Ji Xuan ignored it and continued to talk to himself, "However, those traveling merchants in the Western Regions are obviously not engaged in production, but they wear gold and jade, so they are not rich. ”

"Such people can be gifted from heaven, why can't my people of the Great Zhou?"

"No," Jiang Nuan felt that this was very one-sided, "It's the same all over the world, there are those who wear gold and jade, and there are those who can't eat, and the Western Regions are not as good as the saint thinks, there are often riots there, and they are extremely unstable." ”

"Jiang Niangzi, these are not the point," Ji Xuan couldn't say anymore at all, "Heaven and earth treasures, virtuous people live in it, this group of barbarians is not worthy, and it is a waste of heaven." ”

Actually, it's still coveting other people's things.

I want to grab it, but I can't do it.

Speaking of which, Jiang Nuan no longer pretended to be confused, and went straight to the point, "I have two methods, you can listen to them." ”

"Mrs. Jiang, please speak."

"First, open up overseas trade. Its profits, exaggerated beyond imagination, only need porcelain, silk tea, can be exchanged for the treasures of various countries. ”

"Second, open up the trade routes in the Western Regions, and those small countries in the Western Regions have admired the Great Zhou for a long time, and they will have a lot to do."

Hearing this, Ji Xuan pondered seriously, "When the Great Zhou Dynasty was first built, there was a sea ban, but it attracted countless pirates, and finally decided to ban the sea.

As for the westbound trade route, in fact, it has always existed, but there are thieves and dangerous roads on the way, and few people have dabbled in it. ”

"The Holy Lord wants to conquer the Quartet to collect money, but neither the treasury nor the people of the Great Zhou can afford it. Moreover, medicinal herbs, spices and jade are indeed valuable, but they cannot fill their stomachs, and if the food problem is not solved, the people's lives will still not improve, but on the contrary, they will become worse. ”

"This is reasonable, but," Ji Xuan said hesitantly, "This kind of petty fight brings limited benefits." ”

In her heart, Ji Xuan still felt that this method was too slow to work.

A little fight?

Jiang Nuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

is worthy of being the king of a country, and the pattern is indeed not comparable to himself.

When she asked this, her heart kept pounding, lest it would have irreversible consequences.

And these, in Ji Xuan's eyes, are just petty fights.
