King Wei sneered, "Old Man Han is very shrewd, he can't afford to be unprofitable, and he can be said to be a typical businessman. He knew that once such a thing was revealed, it would completely ruin the Han family, so he would definitely not agree. As for deliberately concealing it, it is estimated that he does not want to offend people. ”

Xu Huaiqing's eyes showed a touch of approval, King Wei's analysis was right, judging from the character of Old Man Han, he would indeed make such a choice.

"Lord Wang, the person who is manipulating this matter behind the scenes is likely to be the crown prince." Xu Huaiqing thought for a moment, staring at King Wei with burning eyes, "Now that the crown prince is in power, in my opinion, this is a good opportunity to suppress the prince." As long as the emperor is informed of this matter, even if he prefers the crown prince, I am afraid he will not cover it up. ”

"You're right, but don't forget. You must pay attention to evidence in everything, you said that this matter was instructed by the prince, did you show evidence? If the prince bites back and accuses us of being thieves and shouting to catch thieves, what should you do? King Wei casually took a sip of tea, and Xu Huaiqing, who asked a series of questions, was stunned.

"Could it be that we can only watch?" Xu Huaiqing was a little unwilling, and finally got the opportunity to counterattack the prince, and he didn't want to waste it so easily.

For a while, the room was quiet, and only the sound of the lid of the cup scraping the teacup could be heard, and after a long time, King Wei said slowly, "Although we have no way to make our father and emperor immediately condemn the prince, we can take this opportunity to steal the beam and change the pillar." The crown prince wanted to use his power to sell goods to foreign countries in order to earn the money he needed to take the throne. We can take advantage of this as well. ”

Hearing this, Xu Huaiqing couldn't help frowning slightly. Although he is now on the side of King Wei, even if King Wei orders him, he is not willing to do anything illegal.

"Lord Wang, do you want to think about this matter again?" Xu Huaiqing's eyes sank slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, "After all, it is something that is not allowed by the policy, if the emperor knows about it, I am afraid that he will be condemned." ”

King Wei chuckled and shook his head helplessly, "Who said I was going to do it secretly?" I was going to persuade my father to start trade with the Gentiles in earnest. At that time, as long as we have won the right to foreign trade, we will be able to conduct business exchanges openly and honestly. ”

Although what King Wei said had a certain amount of truth, Xu Huaiqing was still a little worried in his heart, "Lord Wang, even if the emperor agrees to trade with foreign countries, if he wants to master the right to foreign trade, how can he easily succeed?" What's more, the right to trade is granted directly to merchants. The crown prince has the Bai family under him, but we don't have the support of big businessmen. Even if foreign trade is really opened, the possibility of the prince having an advantage is far better than ours. ”

"What Lord Xu said is extremely true, and this is what I am most worried about now." King Wei sighed softly and said, "I am different from the crown prince, I have been in charge of the army all the year round, and I have no dealings with those merchants. ”

Xu Huaiqing frowned tightly and pondered for a moment. Today, the two most famous families in business are the Bai family and the Han family. The Bai family is also an upstart, it can be said that the prince has supported it single-handedly, and it has completely fallen to the prince, and because of Bai Jiujiu, it is impossible for the Bai family to cooperate with King Wei.

Although the Han family did not stand in line, they had a certain friendship with themselves. But Old Man Han is cautious and will definitely not stand in line easily, and wanting him to help King Wei at this critical moment is tantamount to a fool's dream.

After thinking about it for a while, King Wei looked at Xu Huaiqing deeply, "You have a friendship with Han Zhaoyin, can you think of a way to make him my person?" ”

Hearing King Wei's words, Xu Huaiqing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Lord Wang, don't you know, although Han Zhaoyin is a businessman, he has his own insistence. Unless I can get his approval, he will definitely not help easily, even if I wear out my mouth. ”

"Lord Xu, try it as much as you can." King Wei took a sip of tea and found that the tea had already cooled, "I will also go to find other merchants, and during this period, you will try to find a way to win over Han Zhaoyin." If you can succeed, it is naturally the best, but if you can't, you can only find another way. ”

Xu Huaiqing lowered his head slightly, his expression was dark and uncertain. For Han Zhaoyin, he gave him a high evaluation. The other party has an amazing talent in business, and if he gains foreign power and is accepted by the king of Wei, it will inevitably play a huge role in the king of Wei's succession.

Through getting along for a long time, Xu Huaiqing also knew Han Zhaoyin's stubborn temperament, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good solution.

"Lord Wang, with just ......, we will definitely be able to convince Han Zhaoyin to join us." Xu Huaiqing put his mouth to King Wei's ear and lowered his voice.

Xu Huaiqing's strategy made King Wei's eyes light up, "Good! Then do as Master Xu said! ”

The two discussed this issue for a long time, and it was not until the moon hung on the willow tops that Xu Huaiqing returned home. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw a figure sitting there, and he couldn't help but be startled.

After walking in, I saw that it was none other than Bai Jiujiu who was sitting there.

"Jiujiu, it's so late, why don't you sleep yet?"

Bai Jiujiu looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and did not react to Xu Huaiqing's words in the slightest. At this time, her heart was full of contradictions, and she was thinking about the upcoming July. At that time, the spiritual world was in chaos, and she didn't know how she should choose, so she didn't hear Xu Huaiqing's words for a while.

Seeing that Bai Jiujiu didn't react, Xu Huaiqing walked to her side, raised his hand and pushed her shoulder.

Bai Jiujiu was startled and jumped up from the chair at once. When he saw that it was Xu Huaiqing standing behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huaiqing, you're back."

Nodding slightly, Xu Huaiqing looked at Bai Jiujiu with a hint of worry in his eyes. He could feel that Bai Jiujiu must have something to hide from him. However, since Bai Jiujiu didn't take the initiative to explain, he didn't want to ask.

Everyone will have their own secrets, and he respects Bai Jiujiu.

"Jiujiu, you don't matter, right?" Xu Huaiqing asked with a concerned face.

Bai Jiujiu stroked her chest, although her heart was very chaotic, but her face did not show it at all, after all, she had no way to discuss this matter with Xu Huaiqing.

"It's late at night, go back to your room and sleep." Bai Jiujiu was worried that Xu Huaiqing would be suspicious, so he took his arm and walked towards the room.

Xu Huaiqing hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't ask the doubts in his heart. He nodded and followed Bai Jiujiu to the room.
