The young scribe looked at Chu Yan disapprovingly: "Lord Wang, my subordinates don't understand. Why does the prince have to open a mutual market? This move not only cheapened the barbarians, but also aroused criticism from the government and the opposition. ”

Chu Yan kept lowering his eyes, and after hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at him.

His gaze is cold, and when he looks at people, he seems to be able to freeze them.

Chu Yan said lightly: "Song Yuanlang, this king knows that you have an enmity with the barbarians. ”

Although Chu Yan's tone was not harsh, Song Yuanlang still felt his heart skip a beat, and he was a little flustered.

However, thinking of his hatred, he quickly forced himself to calm down again, and gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, his subordinates have a grudge against the barbarians, and his subordinates remember that the prince said that he would let his subordinates take revenge in person!" ”

"The king did say that." Chu Yan raised the corners of his lips and smiled a little sarcastically, "And this king doesn't intend to go back." It's just that you're disappointing the king now. ”

When Song Yuanlang heard this, his heart was awe-inspiring again, and at the same time he was a little dissatisfied.

Disappointed?

What did he do wrong?

Song Yuanlang couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what is wrong with my subordinates, and I ask the prince to solve the doubts of my subordinates." ”

"You just said that the opening of the mutual market is cheaper for the barbarians." Chu Yan's eyes became colder and colder, "But this king remembers that you grew up in the Northland, and your parents and relatives all died because of the barbarians who went south to knock on the border." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Song Yuanlang's eyes even colder: "This king thinks that you should hate the barbarians more than anyone else." But I didn't expect that your hatred for the barbarians had made you lose your mind. ”

When Song Yuanlang heard this, he quickly frowned and retorted: "It's not that the subordinates have lost their minds, they just think that once the mutual market is opened, the barbarians will be able to profit from it, so they are unwilling.

And those barbarians have always been savage, only like to plunder, and have no credibility to speak of. Even if the mutual market is opened, it only gives them the opportunity to plunder.

What's more, there are probably not many people in the government and the opposition who are willing to open a mutual market. Once the prince proposes it, it will definitely become the target of everyone! ”

Chu Yan sneered: "In this case, as the staff of this king, what you should do is to help this king clear all obstacles, instead of questioning this king's decision!"

The bitter cold in the north, and the barbarian tribes raided all year round, which made the people of the north miserable. If the opening of the mutual market can make the barbarians no longer go south to plunder, why not do it? ”

Speaking of this, he paused and stood up suddenly: "Okay, you don't have to persuade anymore." If you are really worried that this king will cause criticism because of this, go back and think carefully about how to convince your father to agree to open a mutual market. ”

Song Yuanlang saw that he didn't want to say any more, so he had to bow and leave, and retreated with a heavy heart.

Chu Yan saw that he still disagreed with the opening of this mutual market, but he didn't care.

He didn't think about opening it originally, but after listening to Su Jinli's words, he suddenly felt that Su Jinli had some truth in what he said.

Although the barbarians often went south to knock on the side, they always came for robbery.

The splendid rivers and mountains of the Central Plains are like happy fat on the lips of the barbarians.

They are so hungry that they have no meat to eat, so they will naturally keep an eye on this piece of meat.

In that case, why not throw them some good?

However, he didn't intend to really benefit the barbarians.

Su Jinli obviously didn't mean this either.

That woman is a ghost, she doesn't spit out bones when she calculates people, how can she be cheaper than the barbarians outside the gate?

When she was in Zhuangtian before, she seemed to take a step back and only picked the inferior field.

But what she said later made those stewards die, and even those tenants were calculated by her.

There is also the gossip newspaper, and the Jiang family is like a dumb person eating coptis.

Now that she has proposed the mutual market, she must be trying to calculate something!

However, what she wants to calculate is obviously the barbarians.

Su Jinli is Su Xin's daughter, she grew up in the north, and Su Xin has fought with the barbarians, so it is impossible for her to be biased towards the barbarians.

However, is it really that useful to just be a foreign trade department?

No, he'll have to ask again.

As Chu Yan walked, he recalled in his mind the previous discussions with his henchmen.

Thinking of the arguments of his henchmen, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he always felt as if he had raised a group of wrecks.

These people under him can do other things, but they don't seem to be good at this mutual market.

Perhaps, he should gather some more talent?

He thought about his thoughts, and before he knew it, he came to Su Jinli's courtyard.

"Where's the princess?"

"Back to the prince, the princess is enjoying the flowers in the greenhouse."

When Chu Yan heard this, he went directly to the greenhouse.

He has little interest in flowers and plants, and he usually doesn't come to this place.

So after entering, he glanced at it casually, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "The flowers here are well raised." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly saw Su Jinli carrying a flower pot and watering the flowers, so he said: "Just leave this kind of thing to the next person to do it, where is the need for you to do it yourself?" ”

Su Jinli said without looking back: "I'm willing." ”

The water she poured was not ordinary water, if she didn't pour it herself, how could she do it?

Thinking of Chu Yan's words just now, Su Jinli rolled her eyes speechlessly.

As soon as she heard it, she knew that Chu Yan had obviously forgotten that most of the flowers she had here had been moved from Empress Zhang's palace.

Among them were the flowers that almost died.

At that time, they broke their roots, so to speak, and were sentenced to death. She saw that the flowers were well raised, and felt that it was a pity to throw them away, so she asked for them back.

After watering the spiritual spring water, all these flowers have regrown their roots, and even the buds on them are in good condition.

Actually, this is not surprising.

No matter what kind of flower it is, it needs a lot of nutrients when it blooms. Once the roots are damaged, the natural supply of nutrients is insufficient. As a result, the fragile buds will wither and fall.

However, she has spiritual spring water, which is full of nutrients and has the effect of promoting rooting.

Therefore, after being raised with spiritual spring water, these flowers took root that night, and now they are completely alive, not to mention, and many new buds have grown.

Chu Yan was not sad about these flowers, no wonder he didn't recognize them.

Su Jinli was slandering in her heart, who knew that Chu Yan had already walked behind her: "Do you want this king to help you?" ”

Su Jinli decisively refused: "No, it'll be fine soon." ”

The spiritual spring water she uses must be controlled in terms of watering amount, otherwise once she waters too much, these flowers will grow too fast, and she will not scare people to death.

When Chu Yan heard this, he had to watch from the sidelines.

He looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt that the flower in front of him was a little familiar.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, he finally remembered that he had seen these flowers.

In Empress Zhang's conservatory.

He saw it when he went to look for Su Jinli that day.

But he just glanced at it casually and didn't pay much attention.

But even so, he remembered them as they were.

Aren't they all dead? How do you live well?
