The seventh princess looked at Zilan, the more she looked at it, the more pleasing she felt to the eye, her eyebrows were picturesque, her face was beautiful, her body exuded a clear, clean and elegant atmosphere, and her whole body was full of aura.

"Girl, go ahead, your mother can't help you on your way. We girls are talking here. ”

The Seventh Princess smiled gently and kindly at her.

After Zilan stood up and saluted the Seventh Princess, "Thank you for mentioning it, Mother, I'll go back as soon as I go." ”

"Okay, be steady and generous, don't crash into the holy car."

Yang is still worried.

"Yes."

Zilan followed the grandmother of the palace to the study of the seventh prince to meet the driver.

On the way, I was thinking about this, and I chose the Seventh Prince's family to advance and retreat, and it was good to talk to my brother and have a cup of tea, and complain about my grievances.

In this way, she is not conspicuous, maybe the emperor has something to say, so that he doesn't have to meet alone, or add a prize or something, he has already given it to a county lord, enough.

A person with a foreign surname has won the county lord, this is already an honor, the royal family's own daughters may not be able to get the title of the county lord, and her title is also very good, Jingyi, this is a good implication of the first choice.

is a great kindness, there is no need to reward a girl for anything, so why did the emperor see her alone?

For the sake of the Northwest? The recent turmoil is the situation in the northwest, which seems to have withdrawn from the army, but it does not solve the dilemma of the people in the northwest, and the harassment can still continue, and it will not be quiet for two years to make a comeback.

In other words, the emperor understands in his heart, and he will definitely be worried about this problem, and his father and brother have also talked about this matter at home, and they are very worried, and the problem is also acute.

I don't know much about other things for the time being, but the only thing that can bother the emperor at the moment should be this.

Along the way, she thought of the study, and the old lady bowed her knees to her blessing, "Miss Song, this is our prince's study, can I let your maid wait for you outside the door?" ”

It means that the prince's study can't enter so many people.

"Su Xin Qiongxin, it's good for you to wait for me outside, can I bother my maid with a cup of hot tea?"

"Okay, don't worry, come with me."

Mama will not leave, but lead Frangipani and Qiong Xin to wait under the study corridor, there is a small stove, boiling hot water for the prince, and they can also drink a cup of hot tea.

Zilan tidied up her clothes a little and went in.

"The girl is here."

Entering the house is a small hall, the room is very warm, the prince and the emperor are there, and they are making tea and drinking on the platform near the window.

"The courtiers greet the emperor and the seventh prince."

"Come, come, sit down and talk. No outsiders don't have to be formal, I have something to say to you. ”

Zilan obediently knelt on the futon, took the teapot in the hand of the seventh prince, and began to make tea by himself, his movements were not slow, the heat rolled up, bringing out the fragrance of the tea, the white jade fingers of the plain hand, and the familiar meditation and contemplation fragrance on the tip of the nose, which calmed people's minds for no reason.

"Are the emperor and the seventh prince worried about the peace and stability of the northwest? I thought about it for a long time on the way here, and as far as I know, my father talked about the problem that he had been worried about, probably the stability of the people in the northwest border pass.

The battle is won, but it may not be able to be stable forever, you need to think of a way to maintain peace and stability for a long time, you already have a specific idea, you will remember to summon the courtiers. ”

Zilan said that in the end, her mood had stabilized, and she determined that what she thought and should be guessed was not far from ten, and she knew how to say it in her heart.

The emperor glanced at the Seventh Prince, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he nodded at her with his hand, "Sure enough, she is a shrewd girl, you have guessed everything."

I want to restore the border trade, and I heard your father mention the mutual market, and I think it must be your idea, so I came to ask you for an explanation. ”

Zilan poured the tea, gave it to the two of them with her own hands, and tasted it slowly with the tea cup in her hand, as if she was smashing the taste of the bar, and she was also thinking about what to say.

The two were not in a hurry, so they waited for her silently.

"I didn't bring anything with me in a hurry, otherwise I can show you two, I told my father a word or two. Why do you think the cavalry of the Tatar State is so powerful, even terrifying? ”

She turned her head to look at the two of them and ask her own questions.

"They grew up on horseback, and they were good at riding from a young age, but they ......"

The emperor originally wanted to say that he should have been good at riding, but he quickly denied this answer, which also made no sense, good riding skills and being able to fight are two different things.

"Because of poverty, the living conditions are very difficult, and this hardship sharpens the will of their children and grandchildren, making them indestructible and becoming the bravest men in the grassland, and the real warriors must dare to fight and not be afraid of life and death."

The Seventh Prince is a person who has fought in the war, and his experience is more profound.

"That's right, it's because of poverty, we are here to protect our family and defend the country, they are here to survive, to survive. Which reason do you think is stronger. ”

"This ,...... Hiss! The emperor pondered carefully, and the reason was obvious.

"My idea is to open up border trade, make a large-scale mutual market, exchange things with each other, cheapen them, and make it convenient for us to control them.

There is a saying that arrogance and luxury make people intoxicated, and the rich and noble township cannot raise generals, but also has a deeper purpose, once the mutual market is opened, the border passes and exchanges with each other, which also means that people's exchanges will be more frequent.

Then there will inevitably be intermarriage, no one can stop this, I can't see anything in ten years, what about twenty or Chinese New Year's Eve years, the two sides have already been integrated, and if there is a war, it is not a question of who has the final say. At that time, in order not to lose a bad reputation, both sides must sit down and have a good talk, and everything will be discussed. ”

"I didn't expect you to think so deeply."

The emperor looked at Zilan deeply, and felt that it was right to come to her, and it coincided with his own thoughts.

"The benefits of the mutual market don't stop there, I've been thinking about this idea for more than a year, do you have pen and paper?"

Zilan looked around and saw a pen on the table, stood up and took a ready-made rice paper and a pen, brought ink over by herself, poured some tea and grinded it.

The Seventh Prince took it over and grinded it for her, Zilan clicked on the ink and began to draw, she drew a simple map.

"You see, this is a map of the northwest all the way to the north, if it is a mutual market, not only will it be cheap Tatar, but it will also allow our own people to live a good life. Can we sell local specialties and travel from south to north?

You can also take the north and west all the way to the south, there will be shipping, but also shipping, these are things with local characteristics, so as to form a new trade route, prosperity on the way to the large and small counties, so that the people have one more choice of survival.

And we can buy horses from the grassland and bring them back to raise and enrich our own horse farms, and we can do all of this.

Once these ideas can be made, there is a dispute between Tatar and Yuehua, it is impossible to unite again, and the common interests can be united, and now the Great Zhou can give them enough benefits, why take risks, does it cost nothing to fight? There is no silver in the sky. ”

Zilan's head was a little unconvinced, and the two brothers couldn't help laughing.
