Chapter 279: Foreign Trade
Yuehua Zhenren is not exaggerating, this is the case. The faction that comes to power will not tolerate anyone who does not agree with them.
Bai Jiujiu was shocked in her heart, if she didn't go back, would it be possible to kill so many people, but she really couldn't just let go of everything here.
"Think about it." After Yuehua Zhenren said this, the figure gradually became transparent until it disappeared.
Bai Jiujiu stretched out his hand to keep the person, but he rolled down from the tree with a grunt, grinning and covering the painful place, it turned out to be just a dream, and then he looked at the strange beasts on the ground, all of them were gone, and they must have been cleaned up by the master.
It's not a dream, Master has really been here!
Bai Jiujiu cried with a sad face, looking at the bright moon in the sky, she was just a waste of firewood, why should she bear so much.
At the same time as the strange beasts are infested, the court is even more turbulent.
On this day, the king of Wei surrounded him with many people, all of whom were discussing foreign trade with him, some of them supportive, some of them sarcastic.
Those who support it say that the treasury is empty, and that opening up foreign trade can greatly increase tax revenues and alleviate the current crisis, which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. Besides, the silk and porcelain of the Central Plains were highly respected by the foreign countries, and we could also buy fine spices from them, which was the best of both worlds, and the imperial court should support it.
Those who oppose it said in a strange way that foreign countries have always been eyeing the Central Plains, and if trade is opened, there will definitely be people who will take the opportunity to sneak in and steal the secrets of the imperial court.
No matter what they said, King Wei just smiled and was unmoved.
At this time, someone saw Xu Huaiqing coming over, so he immediately came up and asked, "Lord Xu, what do you think of this matter, should the imperial court support it?" ”
Xu Huaiqing stopped and said gently, "Your Majesty has his own plans in his heart for this matter, and the lower officials will not speculate on their own." ”
Some ministers who couldn't get used to him felt that he was good at dancing with long sleeves on all sides, and snorted with disdain. Xu Huaiqing was unmoved, he was still the same, bowed, and walked away.
Before leaving, his eyes met King Wei, but they only swept by lightly, and others didn't have time to pay attention at all.
King Wei sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, today he casually mentioned the matter of opening up foreign trade in the court, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big sensation, and there were naturally a lot of opposition voices in the court, but he didn't care about those, as long as the emperor allowed it.
Most of those who oppose it are the prince's henchmen, but they just don't want him to get his wish so quickly.
The fingers lightly tapped on the table, making a slight clicking sound, and the corners of King Wei's mouth hooked a shallow arc.
Back at the mansion, King Wei immediately summoned the secret guards in the mansion over, gave a few orders, and the secret guards took the order.
Within a few days, news came out of the capital, saying that the imperial court was preparing to open up trade with foreign countries recently, at first, it was the aristocratic and wealthy families who were the first to learn of the news, and soon, all the merchants of all sizes in the capital also knew about it, and they were eager to try and want a piece of the pie.
You must know that trading with foreign countries is the most profitable, just because there are many things in the Central Plains that are not available to foreign countries, and they are very eager for them. Earlier, for the sake of border stability, the emperor ordered the closure of trade with foreign countries, but I didn't expect it to open again today, and some merchants with some channels have been asking whether the news is reliable, and those who have no channels are still waiting.
The Han family, as a family with a high status in the capital, was also the first to learn the news, and Han Zhaoyin was very happy in his heart. He had long hoped to trade with foreign countries, and the huge benefits of this were unimaginable, and as a merchant, he simply could not refuse.
However, Han Zhaoyin is cautious by nature, and he will not make a rash move without full confirmation. Therefore, he first went to his well-connected father and asked about the intentions of the imperial court.
Master Han touched his beard and said, "That's right, Your Majesty does mean this, but the matter has not been determined yet, and I don't know how the news from the outside spread." ”
Han Zhaoyin knew in his heart that the businessmen were always paying attention to the movements of the imperial court, this was a matter related to his family's life, so how could he not care.
Now that the news has come out, it proves that this matter is eight times out of ten. Nine is doable.
"Dad, the child has been looking forward to being able to trade with foreign countries, and now that the court finally has a will, the child must seize the opportunity." Han Zhaoyin's eyes flashed with an irrepressible light.
Master Han sighed, "You do your business well, why bother to get involved in this, after all, if you have anything to do with the imperial court, you are no longer an ordinary businessman." ”
"The child didn't think about it so much, but he only had the ambition of doing business in his life, and he hoped that his father would succeed." Han Zhaoyin said sincerely.
When Master Han saw him like this, he didn't forget it, he didn't stop him, but he didn't help him, he only let him run by himself, if he couldn't find a way by himself, forget it.
Han Zhaoyin was not hit by Master Han's words, and said confidently, "Father, don't worry, the child will definitely have a way." ”
Leaving Master Han's study, Han Zhaoyin immediately found his own people and asked them to find out the good news, if trade is to be opened, who is in charge of this matter.
Han Zhaoyin also has a certain network in the capital, and it is not difficult to find out the news, and soon, the people sent out will come to report.
"Childe, there's a clue." The little guy in Tsing Yi ran in panting.
Han Zhaoyin was reading the account books in the house, and this month, the embroidery workshop in the capital made a lot of money, and after giving the dividends to Bai Jiujiu, the amount was still considerable.
But he didn't plan to expand any more, just because he was afraid that Bai Jiujiu would be too tired, although this would make a lot less money, but Han Zhaoyin didn't have the slightest pity. He's made enough money, not so much as he's half.
Hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Han Zhaoyin raised his head from the account book, and Ruyu's face couldn't help but have a hint of anxiety, "Say it quickly." ”
The little guy was taken aback, his son-in-law has always been calm and calm, and he has never shown such an expression, but now, there is a little impatience on his face.
It seems that this matter is really important to Gongzi, the little guy muttered in his heart, and he didn't dare to relax, and said solemnly, "After many inquiries, I found out that this news came from the mouth of King Wei's mansion. ”
"King Wei?" Han Zhaoyin repeated the name.
He was a businessman, he didn't follow a career and didn't have much contact with King Wei, but because of his family, he didn't know anything about this person. In Han Zhaoyin's heart, King Wei is a very calm and tenacious person.
