This banquet was probably hosted by this white boss, and before his words fell, someone immediately served wine and food, and a masked woman sat in the corner holding a pipa, and then there was a sound of music, which was smart and pleasant.

"There is nothing else to do here today, just to trade with other countries, you should have heard of it." Shen Changqing's gaze swept over everyone present, and he leaned slightly sideways to Xue Ji and whispered.

Sure enough, as expected.

Xue Ji's face remained unchanged, and he also lowered his voice, and said with a smile: "Resources are limited, so many families here today will definitely not be able to distinguish between them. You have to fight, I can help you, but you have to make it clear, how much?"

Shen Changqing said: "Nanjing, I want the business of this country, I don't want much else, or I can't come down."

As long as a country's trade order is naturally not difficult, but Nanjing...... This is the biggest piece of fat, and who doesn't want to fight for a bite.

Xue Ji asked again, "What are your chances of winning?"

"Ishei."

"It's just a success?"

Shen Changqing smiled bitterly and sighed, with a wry smile in his eyes that Xue Ji couldn't understand. He raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and said, "If you have an idea, the odds are seventy percent."

Xue Ji stretched out his hand and filled a glass of wine and said, "You say."

"Fight in the name of the Xue family, if you want to come down, this will benefit our two families."

Xue Ji was shocked, how could there be any matter of the Xue family? "Does my eldest brother know about this?"

Shen Changqing said, "Of course I know, we have discussed it in Jiangling, and he agreed."

Hearing this, Xue Ji felt a little angry in his heart, the eldest brother thought it was easy, if he really wanted to fight, he would come and fight in the name of the Xue family, let him be like a 'second master of the Xue family' who didn't ask about business at all.

The collusion between officials and businessmen is something that everyone knows in their hearts, as long as they know, they really want to make a big show and leave a handle for people? Is this because he didn't die fast enough?

In the past, these two people were cheerful people, and they didn't like to beat around the bush, although now that their identities have changed, they are different from the past, but Xue Ji still didn't bother to go around in circles with him, and said directly, "Brother Shen, have you ever thought about the impact of doing this on me?"

Shen Changqing said: "You are fighting for this as the second master of the Xue family, and you are not holding the official position of prime minister......

"Your Majesty won't listen to your explanations slowly, and the people of the world won't hear me explain carefully." Xue Ji unceremoniously interrupted his next words, making it clear that it was indisputable, and said resolutely: "It's okay to help you say a few words in private, just bring the Xue family out." Brother Shen, forgive me."

"My odds are your chances of speaking for me. Brother Qing, just help me this time." Shen Changqing said earnestly.

Xue Ji said helplessly: "You really want to fight for this trade opportunity so much, why don't you enter Beijing as soon as possible? I can't help you when this happens."

Shen Changqing smiled bitterly: "I want to enter Beijing for development, but I am ashamed of my old people."

Old man, I'm afraid it's Qin Xu.

The more he mentioned this matter, the more curious Xue Ji became, what is the relationship between these two people? When His Majesty gave him a dagger, it was obvious that he couldn't give it up, Shen Changqing asked him to return the dagger in his early years, and now he is ashamed of his old man, and it doesn't look like a deep hatred, why don't you get along with each other when you die of old age?..

"Can you tell me what happened between you back then?"

"I've betrayed his trust, and I'm ashamed."

During the banquet that day, Xue Ji listened to too many guns and sticks between merchants, and saw too many knives hidden in his laughter, and the white boss was bent on helping the merchants of Xucheng with him, and he had the meaning of saying that there was a trade country.

Xue Ji only sneered in his heart after seeing it, the business between Jiangling and Xu Cheng is close, how many years of friendship, he has the resources of Beijing, enjoys the preferential treatment of the imperial court, and never knows how to maintain a relationship with the Shangjia family, at this time I remembered to pull the relationship, it was too late.

"Did Your Majesty say anything about the trade order?" Xue Ji picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip of hot tea, and asked casually as if he was careless.

Xu Yan said, "I said it, but it hasn't been decided yet."

Xue Ji asked again, "How exactly?"

Xu Yan looked at him, knowing very well what he was thinking, chuckled and shook his head, and sighed, "Anyway, it's not as good as you want, let's rest."

"Can you tell me what really happened?" Xue Ji stared at him tightly, his eyes were like torches, and asked urgently.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze, and the corners of Xu Yan's mouth were still smiling, but his eyes fell on the ground, and he didn't respond for a long time.

This impasse made Xue Ji more and more impatient, sneered, and asked again with anger: "Shen Changqing asked me to help him, I asked him what happened, and he only said that he was ashamed of his old man. You persuaded me to rest, I asked you what happened, and you didn't say a word. Who should I listen to?"

Xu Yan finally raised his head and looked at Xue Ji: "Did he really say that he was ashamed of his old man?"

Xue Jidao: "Yes, he came and went just this sentence, and he didn't mention a word next to it."

At this time, the wind rose outside the window, blowing down a piece of flying flotsam and falling into the house, Xu Yan got up and walked to the window, and took a closer look, there was already a light rain outside.

"He can say that he is ashamed, and he is worthy of an acquaintance with His Majesty." Xu Yan stretched out his hand to close the window and said calmly: "The world has only heard a good story of confidants between King An and Chen Yu, but who knows that His Majesty also had a life-and-death friendship when he was young."

Xue Ji frowned, puzzled, "What do you say?"

"Your Majesty was on the orders of the emperor when he was young, and he was always supported by Shen Changqing, and everywhere he went, he was picked up by the people of the Shen family, and he was in danger on the way several times, and it was Shen Changqing who helped him to save the day." Saying that, Xu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty is different from King An, Shen Changqing is not like Chen Yu, Shen Changqing has no interest in entering the office, he is just a businessman. Even if His Majesty did not treat Chen Yu as ostentatiously and favorably as King An treated him, he still got to know many princes and dignitaries."

Xue Ji said, "Isn't this all a good thing?"

Xu Yan continued, "Yes, this is all a good thing, but who is a businessman? Profit-seeking, he has these channels, he dares to do any business, using His Majesty's connections, relying on His Majesty's power, to resell forbidden things."

Hearing the words of the businessman's mercenary intentions, Xue Ji's heart tingled, but he couldn't bear to interrupt him, and listened to the old things he said. "Later, Your Majesty found out?"

"Yes, Your Majesty knows, or from the twists and turns of impeachment." Xu Yan's tone was obviously a little more angry, and his voice was louder than Fang Cai. "That was the first and only time Your Majesty saved someone out of selfishness. He said goodbye and never came to the capital again."

Xue Ji opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He suddenly understood that sentence was ashamed of his old man, and also understood the reason why he was reluctant to enter Beijing.

But why did he sell forbidden things, and why did he fight for trade this time? Is it really because businessmen are mercenary?

Xu Yan returned to the table and sat down, as if inadvertently sighing, "He's a businessman."

The door of the imperial study was closed, and he heard Zhang Yu say that Chen Shao was inside, so Xue Ji was not in a hurry to enter, but only waited on the side.

Seeing that the sky was cloudy again, and the gusts of wind were blowing his clothes, he also had some changes in his heart, he already knew about Shen Changqing's old things, and asked him to ask for this trade order for Shen Changqing, he didn't know how to speak.

Before he could calm down, Chen Shao had already come out of the inside, only to see him take a look at Zhang Yu, and only then did he turn around and see Xue Ji on the side, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he quickly returned to his casual smile.

"Lord Xue."

"Master Chen, walk slowly."

The two never said much, and today is no exception.

Xue Ji entered the imperial study, kowtowed to say goodbye, then stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, it's been three months, and the matter of trade with neighboring countries can't be delayed any longer."

Qin Xu didn't raise his head, he casually pushed the fold in front of him forward, and said perfunctorily, "Well, isn't this ready to be decided."

Xue Ji understood, took a few steps forward, picked it up and looked at it.

As expected, nearly half of the resources were accounted for by the surnamed Bai. It's just that there are still three empty places on this list.

Xue Ji said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Nanjing, Liangguo, and Weiguo...... It's still empty."

Qin Xu raised his eyes

Looking at him, he put his hand on the armrest next to the dragon chair, and asked with a smile, "In your opinion, who is suitable?"
