On this day, Jue was ready to go to court after cleaning up. But this time, Jue didn't go directly to the conference room, but went to Lin Fengmian's room first.

If Lin Fengmian really wants to inherit the throne, then he must learn to take care of the government.

Jue knocked on the door.

"Is it Jue, come in. Lin Fengmian's voice came from the room.

Jue looked up, and then probed the surroundings with elven eyes.

How did that stupid prince know that it was mine who knocked on the door? Jue was a little puzzled.

Although he was confused, Jue still went in.

"Sure enough, it's you. Are you leaving now?" Lin Fengmian had already packed up and was ready to go.

Jue nodded silently, and then he asked, "How did you know that the person who knocked on the door was mine?"

"Hmm...... Get used to it, after all, if it were someone in this palace, you would greet you first, but you didn't, so I guess you're Jue. ”

"I see, it's a reasonable guess. Jue had some understanding.

Isn't my attitude a little arrogant?

But this prince is not ordinary, and it can be seen from such subtle matters that it is me...... It doesn't seem to be a hopelessly stupid person.

"Let's go. Jue said.

Jue led the prince to the door of the conference room, where Cohen was already waiting.

"It's so gratifying, I didn't expect you to really decide to inherit the throne! Cohen said after seeing Lin Fengmian beside Jue.

Jue looked at Lin Fengmian beside him, and then said in a joking tone: "You don't have any jokes, don't regret it." ”

"Well, I already had that realization when I made my decision. ”

Jue and Cohen glanced at each other, and then both of them held the handle of the door at the same time.

"Welcome to the arrival of the prince of the southern kingdom!" Jue and Cohen shouted in unison.

The door was opened.

The nobles and officials who were arguing with each other in the conference room for the last second all stopped at this moment.

Jue and Cohen hugged Lin Fengmian and walked to the upper seat of the conference room.

When Lin Fengmian sat down, Cohen shouted, "The meeting begins!"

I don't know if it's because of the pressure caused by Lin Fengmian in the venue, the meeting on this day was exceptionally orderly.

"To sum up, the responsibility for the Chamber of Commerce has been determined, so it will be distributed to various regions. With Li Jiang's announcement, Jue's plan was finally adopted and officially implemented.

"It's kind of a success. After the meeting, Cohen sat in his seat and scratched his head as he looked at the report in his hand.

"Sort of. Jue threw the manuscript in his hand on the table as if he had given up.

Although this time it was Jue's victory, the price was not without it.

In order to preserve their strength, the aristocratic faction demanded that their own rules of the Chamber of Commerce be established within their territory.

However, under the continuous pressure of Jue and Cohen, those nobles were forced to agree to abide by the rules of the Chamber of Commerce in their own territory under the regulations of the Central Chamber of Commerce.

Although this will still affect the smoothness of trade, there is a consensus between the two sides.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

"Lord Jue, this is a report for you. Nuo Xiaoyi handed a page or two of the document to Jue's hand.

Jue looked at the paper in his hand, and then smiled slightly.

"What's the good thing?" Cohen asked.

Jue smiled and handed the paper in his hand to Cohen's hand.

Cohen's eyes widened.

"Is this policy of national debt so popular?

Jue nodded, "It seems that the work of lowering prices has been done well, and the prices have been brought down at the most appropriate time, so that the spare money in the hands of the people will move in the direction of investment, financial management and lending, and prepare for the future...... Well done......"

"I don't dare to believe that this is a woman's suggestion. Cohen praised the effect of the national debt.

"yes, I can't believe it's a slave's advice. Jue sighed.

"By the way, how much do you know about Ouyang Taxue?" Jue asked Cohen.

After listening to Jue's words, Cohen was stunned for a moment, and then said with a polite smile: "I don't know much about this matter, so I can't tell you much." ”

"Is that so......" Jue saw that Cohen had this attitude, so he didn't ask much.

There must be something.

Although Cohen said that, Jue still heard something from Cohen's words.

Forget it, mere slaves, there is nothing to ......

"By the way, I'd like to ask. Jue suddenly interrupted his train of thought, "Does the Ouyang family know that Ouyang Taxue is here with me?"

Cohen looked at Jue, his eyes full of doubt and surprise.

"This ...... It's hard to say. Seeing Ouyang Xun's appearance, I shouldn't know, but there are people in the court who have a good relationship with the Ouyang family, right, if you brought Ouyang Taxue here, someone should have reported to Ouyang Xun. ”

"So...... Ouyang Xun didn't plan to recognize Ouyang Taxue as his sister?If he knew that Ouyang Taxue was here, wouldn't he plan to redeem her back?" Jue was a little puzzled, after all, looking at Ouyang Xun's appearance, he was a very decent person, so he shouldn't even want relatives.

Cohen was silent for a moment, then said, "Who knows, maybe there's something hidden." Think about it, if the uneasy and well-meaning people knew that the Ouyang family had brought back Ouyang Taxue, who had colluded with the Bu family, they would definitely attack the Ouyang family. ”

Jue fell silent. Cohen was right, but Jue always felt that he was hiding something.

Cohen glanced at Jue, and then said in a voice that sounded loud, but in fact only the two of them could hear: "But you can actually pull the Ji family, who is a noble faction, over, you are really a legend." ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I helped their children when I was in Dragon City before. ”

"Oh, you saved Ji Yun. ”

"Heard?"

"Hmm. I have news here...... But I still admire you very much, after all, the Ji family is the main family of the aristocratic faction, and its influence in both financial and political circles is very great. I really didn't expect their family to be able to compromise with you, it seems that they are very optimistic about you. ”

After listening to Cohen's words, Jue smiled awkwardly.

"That...... It would have been better if tariffs had been appropriately lowered in the early stages. "When Jue was talking to Cohen, Lin Fengmian came over with paperwork.

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally handling the copywriting?" Seeing this, Cohen hurriedly stood up to answer.

"If the tariffs are lowered, please give your reasons. Jue sat on the chair and said, like a boss asking his subordinates.

"Why...... If the tariffs are lowered in the early stage, they can attract investment appropriately, so that domestic import and export businessmen will have the motivation to continue importing, after all, the registration link of the chamber of commerce system will dissuade many new traders. Lin Fengmian said.

"Well, go ahead. Jue raised his chin and motioned for Lin Fengmian to continue.

Lin Fengmian was obviously a little short of words, so he looked at Cohen beside him pitifully.

Who knew that Cohen turned his head directly to the side, and he didn't want to help Lin Fengmian at all.

"Hmm...... And also...... It can also expand the investment base! A small amount of tariffs can allow more goods to enter!" Lin Fengmian said.

"Well, what else?"

"Huh?"

Jue asked again after listening to Lin Fengmian's explanation, which obviously made Lin Fengmian look confused.

"Hmm...... Should...... It's gone......" Lin Fengmian said tentatively.

Jue smiled slightly, then got up and patted Lin Fengmian on the shoulder, and said, "Be confident in yourself." The advice just now is very good, and your reasons are already very strong, so don't be unconfident in yourself all the time, a timid leader will not lead his subordinates to victory. ”

After listening to Jue's sudden guidance, Lin Fengmian looked at Cohen in a daze.

Cohen smiled at Lin Fengmian like Jue.

"You ...... Is it traditional?" asked Lin Fengmian.

Lin Fengmian's judgment surprised both Jue and Cohen.

"Did you guess it?" Jue asked with a little surprise.

"Well, it feels that way. Cohen's attitude towards me is not the same as it used to be, and I don't think you will be able to set such a flexible tariff with such a flexible range, so I think you are not colluding to get me to come and give advice. ”

Jue looked at the young man in front of him who still looked very immature.

This kid is very smart......

Indeed, in order to cultivate Lin Fengmian's ability to do things, Jue and Cohen colluded to make some bills that made the aristocratic faction unable to find a way to harm their interests; Jue's pressure was also a part of testing Lin Fengmian's ability to resist pressure.

But being able to see through the tricks set by Jue and Cohen so quickly, Lin Fengmian is by no means the kind of nerdy person who doesn't know how to change!

This country, there is still salvation!

Jue judged in his heart.

"Lord Jue. At this time, Nuo Xiaoyi came over again, she was holding the document in her hand, and it seemed that there was some news again.

Jue took the document in Nuo Xiaoyi's hand and looked at it.

"Oh, I didn't expect Ouyang Xun to really have a way, he actually recruited more than a dozen big businessmen in such a short period of time, and he also managed to gain a certain say in the business circles of neighboring countries. ”

"Ouyang Xun is an excellent person, he has superior means in all aspects of work, and more importantly, his mobility and flexibility are impressive...... Ouyang Xun is really lucky to be on the same front as us. Cohen exclaimed at Ouyang Xun.

"Moreover, the Ouyang family has also invested a lot of manpower and material resources for your proposal. Nuo Xiaoyi added fuel to the fire through Cohen's words.

Jue pressed his chin and said in a very skeptical tone: "As for it, so many private things are invested for the sake of the country?"

"The Ouyang family is the most powerful family in the pro-king faction, and it is the only family that can maintain the country for more than half a year with the power of one family. Cohen explained.

"Why do you say that?"

"There was a precedent in the past. At the beginning, the ancestors of the Ouyang family relied on their own family's financial and material resources to support a new king when the king died, the royal family was in turmoil, and the country was facing division, protecting the country and resisting foreign enemies. It is precisely because of this that the Ouyang family is also the oldest nobleman among the nobles of Bannan Kingdom, and it has undergone nearly 800 years of development. ”

"Eight hundred years, ......" Jue listened to Cohen's explanation of the Ouyang family's background.

But he found a problem - at that time, the Ouyang family had a new king?

If the auxiliary political officer exists, then there is no chance for the Ouyang family to play at all. Even if the auxiliary political officer only appeared after the Ouyang family established a new queen, then it should be held by someone loyal to the Ouyang family. Moreover, there is obviously a powerful family like the Ouyang family as the way back, why should there be an official position with no existence such as an auxiliary political officer?

In other words, the auxiliary magistrate is fake, right? This version of the Nanguo incident has something to do with the auxiliary magistrate?

The more Jue thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

"Now, Cohen. Is there a national library in Bannanguo?" Jue asked.

"It's in the palace. Cohen seemed to sense Jue's intentions, and said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Can you take me there? There's something I want to figure out. ”

"Of course!" Cohen agreed, without saying a word.

Jue nodded silently and left.

Sure enough, there was something wrong with this auxiliary officer.

On the way back, Jue kept thinking about Cohen's attitude towards the auxiliary officer.

If you don't guess wrong, it's certain that this version of Nanguo's affairs is related to the auxiliary political officer...... But what about the evidence? Even if they find a document, they won't be convinced......

Jue understands that the three of them become tigers, even if they say that there is no record of auxiliary political officials in historical documents, the lie will become the truth under the condition that there are many people who believe in the existence of auxiliary political officials.

Unconsciously, Jue came to his room.

Did you arrive? Jue stopped when he found himself almost hitting the door.

Jue opened the door.

Well?

After opening the door, Jue found Ouyang Taxue reading a book on the ground.

She sat on her knees with books around her like a wall.

Jue slowly closed the door, and then walked to his desk and sat down with silent steps.

Jue quietly looked at Ouyang Taxue who was reading a book over there.

Ouyang Taxue, who focused on reading, was very quiet. This characteristic tranquility is fascinating.

This kid's interest is quite interesting. Jue couldn't help but sigh in his heart after looking at the title written on the side of the book with the hunter's eye - Ouyang Taxue read all horror books, including some hunting legends or stories made up simply for the sake of scary.

Out of fun, Jue slowly walked towards Ouyang Taxue, and then whispered in her ear in the voice of a shadow: "Will find your ......"

"Ah——!h

Maybe Jue didn't expect Ouyang Taxue's reaction to be so big, he didn't have time to dodge, and he ate a head hammer that Ouyang Taxue jumped up at once.

Ouyang Taxue, who was blocked by Jue, lost his center of gravity when he jumped up and knocked over the books around him.

"Oh...... It's been a long time since I've felt this sudden pain......" Jue said as he rubbed the place where he had just been hit.

He glanced at Ouyang Treading Snow on the ground.

Due to the severe impact, Ouyang Taxue covered his head and kept twisting his body on the ground.

Forehead...... I really should have asked this kid to pay attention to his image......

Jue looked at Ouyang Taxue on the ground who kept twisting his body because of the pain, causing him to walk away.

"Hey, it's awkward. Jue squatted down and used spells to relieve Ouyang Taxue's pain.

"Lord ......" The tearful Ouyang Taxue looked at Jue in front of him.

"I scared you, didn't I? I'm sorry......" Jue said.

If I hadn't been hurt, it would have been a fun prank......

"It's a little ......," Ouyang Taxue said, leaving tears in her eyes.

Jue felt very speechless, after all, there are really few people who can be scared to cry.

"Why are you reading this type of book?" Jue asked, picking up a book from the ground.

“...... I have little guts...... So ......," Ouyang Taxue said with a slight trembling body.

"Ah, indeed. Jue thought back to the first few times when he was doing physical training, because a rabbit had scurried into the grass, Ouyang was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.

So why is this kid so timid?

Jue couldn't help but have some doubts, after all, when she took Ouyang Taxue into the version of the southern country, she had a feeling of forcing herself to be bold, and she had a posture of breaking the boat. But as Ouyang Taxue followed Jue for a longer period of time, she slowly gave up her initial alertness and became a little afraid and timid—especially when she answered Xia Ni's phone call.

"Forget it, let's stop practicing today's physical training. After seeing Ouyang Taxue like this, Jue had to say helplessly.
