Seeing Jia Lian's thanksgiving, Wu Xun knew that they had no reason to make trouble. The next game is Jia Lian and the emperor's business. Although the martial artists who felt bored couldn't leave directly, they also reined in their edges one by one and began to watch the excitement.

The court has always been a stage for civil officials. The Great Dynasty is not counted, during the Chang Dynasty, a large number of martial artists entered the Dynasty, and there was only one situation, that is, there were police at the border gates, and the dynasty was facing war, which was the tacit understanding between the generals and the Heavenly Family. In the next court meeting, there was nothing to do with the gate.

Naturally, there was nothing wrong with Jia Lian, and he suddenly felt a little regretful that he came to the court today, and it didn't play a role.

Who knows, just thinking like this, suddenly Jia Lian heard about him.

Xu Li, the secretary of Honglu Temple, is reporting on the tributary situation of the vassal state.

"This year is the triennial triennial tributary year, and now most of the missions of North Korea, Vietnam, Akane and other countries have arrived in Beijing. The reception of the envoys of various countries is also requested to be indicated by our emperor.

In addition, many countries, including Russia, expressed their desire to pay tribute in return, including goods from Rongguofu Shunzi Duobaoge. In particular, the Russian state demanded a large number of Wuliangye. ”

"Oh, has Jia Lian's business name been so famous?" Emperor Long Zheng was quite surprised.

He probably knows the business situation of Jia Lianshun: the mirrors, jewelry, fashion, and clocks of Duobaoge, the food of Donglaishun and the Wuliangye of Moutai Winery. It's all a daily gold business.

"Yes, Lord Jia's business is quite large. For more than two years, Shunzihao went north to Russia, west to the Western Regions, east to Qianxiang, Ryukyu and Zhenzhen, south to Zhenla, and Funan. "Tobe Shilang Qu Ying seems to have an unintentional interface.

Jia Zheng frowned, it didn't look like something was quite right. Why did Jia Lian suddenly become the center of the court's discussion. And it seems that the wind direction is not good for Jia Lian.

Even Jia Zheng could see it, and Jia Lian naturally understood it as well. However, he is not worried, the dynasty does not prohibit officials and nobles from doing business, and none of the things he does can give people authority.

Jia Lian pulled more than a dozen Wenchen and Xungui from the Lin family, the Chen family, the Liu family, the Xie family, the Qin family, the Niu family, and the Yang family, who were friends with him, to make a fortune. But this wealth is too big, and there must be a lot of jealous people.

For more than two years, Shunzi has been expanding all the time, although it still lacks heritage compared with those big businesses, but the strong potential for vigorous development is visible to anyone.

"So what are you going to do?" Emperor Longzheng also saw that Jia Lian had fallen into the target this time. However, he didn't plan to help Jia Lian speak. It's just that I think these people are too grinding.

"These things are too expensive, such as wine, according to the custom, this time the Russians brought five carts of treasures, and we should give back ten carts of five grains. But the value of ten carts and five grains is not lower than that of those five carts of tribute. As for the Duobao Pavilion, not to mention those things. ”

Emperor Long Zheng was happy all of a sudden: "Jia Lian, you are here for business, you can talk about it yourself." ”

"Your Majesty, it's not good to talk about business in the Hall of Light. Either let Qu Shilang and Xu Siqing go to the headquarters of Dongcheng Shunzi to talk. ”

As soon as they heard that Jia Lian asked the two of them to talk about business by themselves, the two of them were suddenly excited.

However, Emperor Longzheng temporarily stopped the words of several people: "It's okay, since the two Aiqing have brought this matter to the court, it is a state affair." I can listen to it and talk about it. ”

"Since Your Majesty says so, the minister will receive the order."

Seeing that Jia Lian finally accepted the recruitment, Xu Li and Qu Ying were both happy. The two of them openly took a look at Jia Lian at the court today, and they took a fancy to his financial resources. So they felt that since Jia Lian accepted the recruitment, they were not afraid that he would not be recruited.

"Lord Qu, Lord Xu, we are all people who understand, let's say, what kind of charter do you have?" Jia Lian is in a posture of talking about business.

Xu Li first said: "Lord Rijin Doujin, of course he won't care about this little money, to be honest, our Honglu Temple is poor, your return gift is about to catch up with the value of the Russian tribute, you see if you support us." ”

Jia Lian nodded thoughtfully: "Lord Xu is right, since the imperial court is so poor, I think so." I'm out of ten carts and five grains, I don't want a penny from the court, and the court will give me the five carts of tribute when the time comes. ”

Jia Lian's words made the nobles laugh. However, Xu Lizhi, who was angry, jumped to his feet: "Jia Lian, the Russian tribute is in the treasury, how can it be given to you." ”

Emperor Longzheng also said: "Jia Lian, speak seriously, don't joke." ”

"Yes"

"Lord Xu, since Your Majesty has asked Benjue to speak seriously, then Benjue will answer you well.

Don't think that Benjue doesn't understand the rules of dealing with Fanbang. Let's just say that the return gift of this tribute, in the previous dynasty, foreign tribute, our Chinese dynasty return gift is often ten times the value of the tribute.

In this dynasty, Emperor Taizu vetoed this tradition of working the people and wasting money. During the Shunde period, the return gift was often equivalent to twice the value of the tribute. That's why there is such a thing as five carts of tribute and ten carts of return gifts. However, according to the current custom, these ten carts of return gifts are often three to five times the value of the tribute.

The reason why the Rakshasa people want my Wuliangye is because my Wuliangye is sold in the Rakshasa territory for more than three times the price of Dazheng. This is still the price I paid for, not to mention the fact that the Rakshasas themselves sold at a higher price. ”

Jia Lian looked at Xu Li's face and felt very funny, but he still continued: "So the value of my ten carts of wine will definitely be more than three times the tribute."

I let you count it as my Jia family's loyalty to the country according to Da Zheng's price. You actually have the face to bargain here, what about the face? ”

"Me"

Seeing that Xu Li was defeated, Qu Ying had no choice but to come forward. But his face was much darker. I thought that Jia Lian was young and easy to fool, but I didn't expect him to know so much about the tributary procedure.

"Sir, since Sir, since Sir, he knows so much about tribute, we won't say more. It's okay to give Russian wine, but your jewelry, clothes, mirrors and other things are more expensive than gold. If we really follow the gift list, it will be too cost-effective. See if it's cheaper. ”

Jia Lian has seen it this time, and the shameless literati's face is really unforgettable. But fortunately, Jia Lian now has a martial arts lord on his body. It is said that Xiucai met soldiers, and it is unreasonable.

Jia Lian planned to make him unable to tell for a while.

"I don't agree with what Lord Shirou said. Our court is not a restaurant, and you can still order food. They come to pay tribute, and we should have the final say on what to give in return, and they can't just bring something to pay tribute, and they have to have the final say on what they give in return.

If that's the case, if they want my princess Da Zheng, should we give it or not? ”

When Jia Lian said this, he secretly glanced at the face of Emperor Longzheng on the throne, and then continued: "So according to me, what gift should you return, let them buy the things of Duobao Pavilion by themselves." Let's see if I can earn back the money I spent on the return gift. ”

Hearing Jia Lian's nonsense, Qu Ying was also angry. The key is that Jia Lian's words still make him unable to refute.

At this time, Emperor Long Zheng spoke: "Okay, Jia Lian." I didn't expect your mouth to be so powerful, I look at it like this, you are a first-class uncle as a messenger, and you are fully responsible for receiving tribute.

You're talking so well, I want to see if you can do things so well. ”

Jia Lian: ......
