Xiang Hongxuan was stunned, he straightened up from the water, and slowly put down the wine glass in his hand.

"Let's listen carefully."

"Your Majesty, the rare birds and beasts of Nanxi can be sent to Xihua Kingdom, Emperor Kangqing has only lost the battle, and there will be generous gifts that will not be thin, Xihua is rich in iron and jade, no matter what Emperor Kangqing sends, it will be useful to Dongyu Kingdom. As for the thousand Nanxi, His Majesty selected a hundred people to give to Beirong, and Beirong will definitely give back some of their horses, Your Majesty has seen the power of Beirong's horses today. ”

Xiang Hongxuan suddenly came to his senses, and he remembered that the black horse that Zhou Xun rode during the afternoon horse race seemed to be the horse offered by Beirong.

"The horses in Beirong are all short, it's okay to race a horse, and nothing else is useful." Xiang Hongxuan asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, don't you know, the horses that Beirong dedicated to Dongyu are all ornamental horses, and Beirong's war horses are first-class and first-class horses, even so, you have seen it today, and it can also be comparable to Dongyu's war horses, if Beirong's war horses arrive in Dongyu, Dongyu's iron horses can be invincible."

Xiang Hongxuan remembered that Zhou Xun's dark horse crossed the finish line at the same time as his white horse in the afternoon, which shows the speed of the Beirong horse. But it is not easy to exchange war horses from Beirong.

"Yan En, you're right, but Beirong is not a fool, how could they send war horses to Dongyu and Xihua, even if I buy iron ore with Emperor Kangqing with real money, he won't sell it to me, not to mention these flashy rare birds and beasts." Xiang Hongxuan was lost again, Zhou Xun's words were indeed very attractive, but there was no possibility of realization.

"Your Majesty, even if Emperor Kangqing sends beautiful jade, it is just as useful, Nanxi Kingdom is very obsessed with Xihua jade, with Emperor Kangqing's batch of exquisite jade, get Nanxi Kingdom, that is the silver of white flowers. And Beirong over there, where have they seen Nanji, how can these hundred Nanji be enough for their nobles to enjoy, since the Beirong nobles want more Nanji, then naturally they have to rely on high prices to buy from Dongyu, and when the time comes, these Nanji will be handed over to Dongyu ordinary merchants to sell, Beirong's most valuable thing is their war horse, if it is clear that they can only exchange it with war horses, naturally someone will secretly exchange. On the Xihua side, a mutual market has been opened, and His Majesty can use the indemnity of Nanxi Kingdom to entrust the merchants on the border to purchase iron ore in batches, so that he can get all the things he wants without realizing it. ”

"Okay, Yan'en, I really didn't mistake you, you are a master of making money, it's a pity, you wasted your talent in the Ministry of Industry, you will go to the Ministry of Household to be a waiter tomorrow, these things, the Ministry of Household Affairs is more appropriate," Xiang Hongxuan said to Zhou Xun meaningfully.

"Your Majesty, if these things are done, it is estimated that it will take a long time, otherwise it will cause the vigilance of Xihua and Beirong." Zhou Xun said cautiously, he knew that Xiang Hongxuan would not be willing to wait too long, but there was really no way, his plan was good, but if he wanted to be silent, he could only come through trade little by little in the years.

"How long will that take?" Xiang Hongxuan asked impatiently.

"Two or three years soon."

Xiang Hongxuan thought about it for a while, in order to destroy Nanxi, he did not hesitate to fight with Xihua first, he can't wait to start a war with Nanxi now, two or three years is too long, but he wants to fight with Nanxi without worries, he can wait for two or three years.

"Yan'en, you can do this well for me, and if it is done, I will not treat you badly."

Zhou Xun hurriedly thanked him for receiving the order, he smiled slightly, and the afternoon horse race finally got what he wanted.
