The dim sum in the palace is naturally exquisite, but Zhengde never plays cards according to common sense, he feels that Jian Ning is from the people, so the early in the palace is not enough, and he has to bring some Beijing souvenirs.

Bean juice burnt rings, sheep cream sausages, are the most popular snacks among the people.

Zhengde handed the hot bean juice to Jian Ning, and handed the sheep frost sausage to Jian Ning and said, "Don't pout, do you have the gas to get up or what?" Here, eat more. In autumn, it is time to nourish after a bitter summer, this sheep frost intestine is made of sheep small intestine filled with sheep blood, you are not enough qi and blood, eat this best. ”

Where can Jane Ning eat? Compared with northerners, southerners have a light taste, and early in the morning still prefer small porridge with dried radish.

But the Son of Heaven was full of enthusiasm, although he was disturbed by someone, but for his thoughtful sake, that anger disappeared. Therefore, this hospitality still has to be accepted.

Slowly stirring the bean juice but you can't eat it, not everyone loves this taste. It's a good taste of the coke ring, and you can still eat it.

Zhengde paid attention while eating, and found that this person did not eat anything except for some sea cucumber porridge and coke rings boiled in the palace.

I couldn't help but shake my head. No wonder the body is weak, this mouth is too picky, how can it grow well?

Press your mind and don't show it, pay attention to what she likes to eat, and pick things if you want to. I don't have any other skills, but as the lord of the world, it doesn't hurt to let a little guy pick his mouth, he can always afford it. Go back and let people think about how to make the meat more delicious, and she can use it more.

"By the way, Zhang Yong is back."

Zhengde suddenly became excited, "He got a batch of silk cloth in various weaving bureaus, and also bought porcelain, tea and other things in the local area, went to Ningbo to get a small fortune boat, and went to Japan and North Korea, guess how much silver he got back?" ”

"How much?"

Jian Ning was also curious, "How much is the Xiaofu boat?" ”

"About 200 materials."

Janine nodded. The Ming Dynasty sea ship refers to a stone of wood, a stone of the Ming Dynasty is about 60 kilograms today, and a 200 material of a lucky ship can carry about 90 tons, which is indeed a small pitiful.

"Tsk, the cost of filling the ship is only 10,000 taels of silver, where do you know the money to bring back......"

Zhengde's eyes lit up, "You know what? There is a big silver mountain in Dongying, and the price of silver is very low, so I will offset it with the goods, and then return to the Daming market to buy ......"

He rubbed his hands together, "The difference here is the biggest profit!" ”

Are scissors bad?

Jian Ning couldn't help admiring Zhengde's vision, except for those who have been in business for generations, ordinary people can't see it.

In ancient Japan, it was known as Treasure Island, because there was a lot of silver, and there was a lot of gold. Iwami Ginzan must have been mined by a daimyo now, right? I heard that the silver was exposed, so I just picked it up.

Silver is very worthless in Japan, but it is very valuable in China, and it has always been a stiff commodity. Not to mention the trade profits, you can also use the scissors difference to make another profit, it seems that Zhengde has made a small fortune this time.

"60,000 taels is a little bit close!"

After the excitement, Zhengde said proudly: "You have misestimated, if you look at it this way, you will get at least tens of millions of taels of silver a year." ”

"Your Majesty, do you know why Zhang Yong returned to Beijing?"

Jian Ning said: "Because it was the monsoon season not long ago, it was quite dangerous to sail at sea, so summer is not suitable for sailing. In addition, I have been closed to the country for many years, and the market in Japan and North Korea is empty. The market is like a person's stomach, if you eat too much, you will hold on, and you have to digest it before you can eat again, so you can't bring so much money from Japan and North Korea alone. ”

Zhengde was stunned for a moment, and then said dejectedly: "That's right." ”

Then he said excitedly: "But if there are a million taels a year, I will be content." ”

"Your Majesty's heart is too small!"

Jian Ning shook his head, "The world is beyond Your Majesty's imagination. The people once saw a book written by the barbarians, there is another continent on the other side of the sea, and there are many countries, admiring my heavenly kingdom and the treasures, if we sell our goods to other countries and go with the world, your majesty can know how much silver it will be? ”

"How much?"

Jian Ning pursed her lips and smiled, "In the past, when the Tang Dynasty was retranslated to the dynasty, we earned face and lost money, Su Dongpo once said: The court has no benefit, and people from afar have no wealth. It can be seen that even state-to-country trade follows a fundamental principle in business. ”

"What does this have to do with how much silver I make?" Zhu Houzhao looked puzzled, "It's because of this that we closed the sea." ”

"The people said these things to tell Your Majesty that no matter what the future holds, there are only interests and no friendship between countries. No matter how big the business is, you still get the money you should get. When the treasury is rich, it can build weapons, it can pave the way for the people to build bridges, and when the country is prosperous, who dares to despise us? I don't know if those barbarians will laugh at me behind my back when they take our money? ”

Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth, and suddenly felt that what Jian Ning said made sense. I'm laughing even if I change it! That idiot, he took some souvenirs and bought them at a hundredfold and thousand-fold price, isn't he stupid?

The Song people did not envy the face of the Tang people, strictly stipulated the specifications of the tribute mission, and even ordered those who carried foreign tribute without permission to be sentenced to two years in prison. The Song monarch had already seen through this kind of loss-making business, but he was interested in the mutual benefit of the people. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, "It is recorded in the history books: the benefits of the market are the richest, if the measures are taken properly, the income will be millions, will it not be better than the people?" ”

Speaking of this, he sighed, "What does this grandfather think?" It is said that history books are left for future generations to summarize, and future generations must always stand on the shoulders of predecessors to absorb lessons and lessons. Why did he come to his old man's house and close himself off from the country? The advantages of this maritime trade outweigh the disadvantages, why is such a rule given? If not, how could I be so embarrassed? ”

Where did Jian Ning dare to accept this, so he had to say: "At this time and that time, when Taizu won the world, the situation was turbulent, and the Japanese invaded my coast, if I didn't lock the country, I am afraid it would be inappropriate." ”

After a pause, he changed the topic and said: "I have also seen it in the history books, saying that in addition to going out to do business by himself, the king of the Song Dynasty also let the barbarians do business. If the merchants were willing to come to the Song Kingdom with the ship, they would obey it. There was even a barbarian who married my Han lady, and Song Gaozong ordered her to be expelled. He was expelled so that he could return to his hometown and recruit more people to trade. Your Majesty, looking at the history books, the world is divided and united, and after countless dynasties, have you ever seen 100,000 people voluntarily martyred their country? ”

"Are you talking about the residents who jumped into the sea after the First Battle of Yashan?"

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and shook his head, "Song Ming is obviously very weak, why?" ”

"Hide the wealth from the people."

Jian Ning said: "The people will support this court when they are better." Your Majesty can make the people of the world live a good life, and you don't have to fear anyone. ”

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, and after a while, he said: "I don't have to ask how much silver I can make, I think the shipyards in Jiangnan have to rest well, and if they can't get a treasure ship like Zheng He, they must at least make a ship with 800 materials." ”

Jian Ning smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty spends his own money to toss, and the ministers can't care about it." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, quite tacitly.

After eating breakfast, Zhengde got up and stretched, and said, "How many manuscripts have you saved these days?" Show it to me. ”

Jian Ning nodded and instructed Zhang's mother to bring her manuscript.

For a while, it was quiet. Jian Ning drank tea, Zhengde looked at the book, and occasionally said a few words of the plot, which was quite a bit of a quiet taste.

"By the way, I brought you that pug. It's just that I'm tired of the wind and dust all the way, so I'll let someone raise it for a few days and send it to you. ”

Jian Ning was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"I said Jian Yunshu, why is your dog like a jing? When I entered my leopard's room, I slept on a human bed, and I was not happy to give him a cushion. By the way, what do you name your dogs? Ugly Brother...... What's the name of this? Good habas have made it for you. ”

"Ugly brother is more down-to-earth, and he is ugly."

Jian Ning pouted, "It's easy to feed with a cheap name." ”

"Gotcha! You can't burn your duck's beak, it's always reasonable, I won't tell you, it's important to read. ”

As he was talking, someone came outside to report, "Girl, Hu Gongzi from Baiwenzhai is here, saying that he is here to get the manuscript." ”

Jian Ning hurriedly said: "Take the son to the study." ”

As he spoke, he rushed to Zhengdefu, "Your Majesty, the people will come when they go." ”

"How?"

Zhengde's face was strange, "The other party is a man, so you will meet him alone in the study?" ”

My heart is sour. Shouldn't they be alone when they are in Changzhou? That's her benefactor, she rejects herself so much, she can't have a private life, right?

Zhengde's brain hole opened and he couldn't stop, and immediately said: "After hearing that this person is Hu Su, since he is a famous and noble son, he should know etiquette, how can I not come to see him here?" And pass the word, let him come to the ceremony, I will also see, if it is a talent, I can also keep it. ”

Full of vinegar boiling in the room, Xi'er pursed her lips and snickered, the second brother didn't know the depths, he only felt that Hu Yanshu was a good person in his heart, and couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty, Hu Gongzi is a good person, knowledgeable, and good-looking, but it's a pity that Sanniang doesn't like it and refuses his family's proposal!" ”

Bad dish!

Zhang's mother's face turned black all of a sudden, and Jian Ning was also flustered. The ghost knew what she was flustered about, as if she had done something wrong, she glanced at Zhengde, saw that he was expressionless, and hurriedly said: "Brother Hu and I are both people who know etiquette, Your Majesty should not misunderstand." ”

As soon as the words came out, he regretted it, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here? Besides, why do you have to explain it to him?

I even mentioned kissing?!

At this moment, Zhengde's heart is boiling! Wow! Jian Yunshu, you keep saying that it is your benefactor, but in the end, everyone thinks of you as a lady, and you still interact with people?!

A wave of anger rose in his heart, and he said with a cold face: "Then you should also avoid suspicion, why is this person so ignorant?" I heard that he is still a talented man, and let him in, I want to test him! ”
