These people don't seem to be very old, needless to say that they can read and write, they must all be very good.

But the problem is that the foreign affairs department wants to expand trade with foreign countries, and Wang Chong doesn't want trade to be managed by a nerd.

"Okay, it's all for me, you took a boat to a strange country, and unexpectedly found that the people in this country are not wearing clothes, especially women, all of them are more beautiful than our Great Yan Dynasty, and gentle, may I ask, what should you do?"

Wang Zhong looked at the first person, "Come on." ”

This person has grown fatter, at first glance, he has eaten a lot of oil and water since he was a child, and his living conditions are very good, he smiled obscenely: "Your Majesty, they are not wearing clothes, it must be a barbarian country, and the grass people feel that they can consider taking their women to captivate and fill the population of our country, and they can also open a courtyard and be a maid, which is simply a good deal without any profits." ”

If it weren't for his identity, Wang Chongzhen wanted to slap it, and then scolded: "Get out of here!" ”

He can also think of this kind of answer, it is simply ...... Idiot!

Ignoring the man, he looked at the second: "What would you do?" ”

This person looks more delicate, and his face is righteous and awe-inspiring: "Your Majesty, the sage said: Gentlemen, don't look at incivility, don't speak incivility, people from other countries are not wearing clothes, as a civilized country, how can we peek at others, so I think that we should not contact them, so as not to fall into the mouth, saying that we are hooligans." ”

Wang Zhong was even more speechless when he heard this.

This person is the legendary, a beautiful girl who is bare in front of you and is not moved by the 'righteous gentleman'!

I'm afraid this kind of standard nerd, just like the epic record, the ancient nerds led their troops to fight, saying that we are a big country, how can we do the sneak attack of this kind of rat generation, since we want to fight, we must face it head-on, in order to reflect the national prestige of our great country.

I feel sick when I hear it.

Such a man must stay away from him, lest he be struck by lightning and seem to hurt himself.

So Wang Zhong didn't pay attention to him at all, and looked at the third person.

This person had a tiger's back and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the grass people think that this group of people without clothes is not even as good as barbarians, and they can completely kill them and occupy the territory, so that our Great Yan Dynasty will definitely be more powerful and make the enemy fearful." ”

"What if you can't beat it?" Wang Zhong asked.

"Can't beat ............"

This person was stunned: "How can we not be defeated, we have many soldiers and generals, and we have weapons and equipment, it is impossible not to fight." ”

Looking at this person's appearance, he is just a reckless man.

Wang Chong suddenly lost interest in him, but he could consider letting this person be a soldier in the future, as long as this person could survive, he would definitely be a fierce general.

"What about you?" The king looked at the fourth man.

"The grass people thought that they could capture these people and use them as slaves to work for our country."

Wang Zhongzhong once again denied it.

Although this method is similar to slavery, the premise is that if he wants to be stable in the Great Yan Dynasty, he must also have sufficient institutional advantages.

Otherwise, what's the use of just finding slaves and internal instability?

"What about you?"

Wang looked back at the fifth man.

This person, who looks decent, frowned and said: "The grass people feel that if the other party is not clothed, it is completely a wilderness, useless to us, no matter what they do." ”

"Alright, you don't think you like it, go down."

Wang Zhong waved his hand impatiently.

Several people were a little embarrassed, and then retreated.

"The emperor, the old slave is stupid, I think there is a way that is still good, such as letting those who have no clothes to wear as slaves, I wonder why the emperor doesn't use him?" He Taigao asked puzzled.

"My companion, I have already said, foreign trade, foreign trade, what I want to do is trade, earn money, pull people over as slaves, and cause hatred over there, what can I get? Only hatred! ”

"Uh...... What does the emperor mean ......"

"It's very simple, it's to do trade, the people over there don't have clothes, we sell clothes to them, so that they can provide us with food and raw materials over there, and we process clothes and finished products for them, so that we don't have to enslave them, but also get the resources we need over there, and at the same time, because the people on our side make clothes, everyone has something to do, and they can also get the gratitude of the people over there, isn't it a triple win?"

In fact, what Wang Chong said is very easy to understand, and when converted into modern society, people who can do business understand this truth.

Because if you want to enslave the people of a place, you have to pay countless manpower to wage war, and starting a war means that resources are consumed, which will not only cause hostility to the other side, but may not be successful.

But by selling supplies to others in exchange for resources, you are getting what you have in a different way.

For example, in modern Germany, there is a joke that Germany launched World War II and did not destroy all the resources in Europe, but did not expect that after peace, it obtained the resources it needed through trade.

He Taigao actually couldn't turn his brain a little, he couldn't figure it out, how could he make the other party obedient by selling clothes to others?

But soon he didn't think about it, and he smiled secretly in his heart, as long as our family serves the emperor well, what do you want to do so much?

Since there was no suitable candidate, Wang Chong could only put aside the matter of the selection of candidates for the foreign affairs department for the time being, and deal with the affairs of this winter wholeheartedly.

Shen Yu's father entered the palace a few days later to meet Wang Chong and told him some things about Haiyan City.

According to Shen Yu's father, Xu Luye, the city lord of Haiyan City, was already regarded as the overlord of the soil there, and he had his own army, and even the generals of the defenders there listened to him.

So Wang Zhong wanted to order Xu Luye, it was difficult.

Moreover, Wang rechecked the tax records in Haiyan City in recent years, and it has been declining year after year.

However, you must know that Haiyan City is close to the sea area, where not only agriculture is developed, the wind and rain are smooth, but also the people are very rich in food, can eat a lot of seafood, and there is no hunger.

There were also many merchants there, and trade was developed, but the tax revenue was not as good as that of the cities in the mountains.

This shows that Xu Luye has withheld a lot of taxes privately.

Although he knew that Xu Luye was disobedient and could turn against him at any time, Wang Zhong couldn't do anything to him, it was very simple, even if his own troops could suppress him, it was too far along the way.

The number of troops is not just a large number of soldiers, but also needs grain and grass, transportation capacity, and so on.

At present, food and grass are scarce, and it is obviously not suitable to launch a campaign.

After that, Wang Chong asked Shen Yu's father to stay in the palace for a few days, and arranged for several newcomers in Dongchang to dress up as businessmen and go to Haiyan City to spy on various news.

This matter was put on hold for the time being.

This winter, although Wang Chong launched a disaster relief campaign and the disaster situation in the capital was stabilized, it didn't take long for two cities to riot.

In one of the cities, there were also signs of rebellion, killing the entire family of the local city lord.

After Wang Zhong learned the news, he immediately sent a general to suppress it in advance.

The rebels were defeated, and Wang Chong took the opportunity to canonize a new lord there, which was considered to be a regain control of the place.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year has arrived.

The arrival of the new year means that warm weather is coming, and this is the only place for Wang Chong to catch his breath.

He actually understands that there must have been a lot of deaths in other areas this winter, but unfortunately he is not a god and cannot take care of the people in each region, so he can only take his time in the future.

……………………

On New Year's Day, Wang Chong asked the concubines to gather together and cook a big pot of hot pot to eat together.

Due to the reform of the harem by Wang Chong, the atmosphere of the harem is much better now, and many concubines are commensurate with each other as sisters, respecting each other as guests, and Wang Chong is very pleased to see it.

There are three of the most favored now.

Needless to say, Queen Zhao Luan, her character and mind, Wang Chong admires her very much, and she definitely has the temperament of a mother.

Then there are Feng Chengcheng and Shen Yu.

Feng Chengcheng's ability to manage the garment factory is good, and as for Shen Yu, because of her mother's family, she has also been valued by Wang Chong.

However, these three are not pregnant with the dragon species for the time being, because Wang Zhong doesn't want to be distracted by other things, so he is not ready to ask for it for the time being.

"Your Majesty, I salute you, under your leadership, our Great Yan Dynasty will definitely be prosperous."

A concubine plucked up her courage and raised her glass and said.

"Your Majesty, I also respect you, I was ignorant before, I didn't know that you worked so hard, but now I understand your difficulties, I think I was so stupid before."

During this period, Wang Chong also tried to let the concubines understand the internal and external troubles of his country, so the effect was very good and he was understood by the concubines.

"Let's do one together." Wang Chong also raised his glass.

After a full meal and wine, suddenly, Wang Zhong took the concubines out for a walk.

Suddenly, a meteor slipped through the sky.

This meteor is very bright, it doesn't look like an ordinary meteor, and when it glides across the sky, it also illuminates seven other stars in the sky.

These seven stars are connected in a row, forming a seven-star alignment.

"Shooting Star!" He Taigao's eyes froze, and after seeing the Seven Stars Alignment, his face was difficult to look at.

"Meteor ...... of the Seven Stars"

Zhao Luan also seemed to think of something, and his face changed suddenly.

Wang Zhong looked at her expression and asked curiously: "Did the queen think of something, why did her face suddenly pale?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

Zhao Luan squeezed out an ugly smile, "Maybe............ Maybe it's cold. ”

He Taigao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly quietly wiped his tears, and became sad.

This made Wang Chong confused again, and asked, "Companion, why is it suddenly sad?" ”

"Poof!"

He Taigao suddenly knelt down: "Emperor, old slave...... The old slave is not sad, the old slave is very happy, how can he be sad. ”

"Isn't that right?"

"It's true, old slave...... The old slave is cold. ”

"If I tell you to say it, I will say it, and if you don't say it, I will cut off your head."

He Taigao kowtowed and said: "Emperor, the old slave really has nothing to say, even if the emperor wants to cut off the head of the old slave, the old slave ...... The old slave has nothing to say. ”

"You!"

Wang Zhong looked at He Taigao and guessed what He Taigao and the queen were hiding from him.
