Li Feng searched carefully in his mind, but he didn't think of who this He Jinse was.

Liu Ji reminded on the side: "Chitose, this He Jinse is the head of the third largest grain merchant in Youzhou!" ”

Li Feng frowned slightly when he heard this: "Isn't this third largest grain merchant surnamed Zhang?" ”

Liu Ji hurriedly explained: "Chitose doesn't know, the third largest grain merchant is indeed surnamed Zhang, but their head of the family has died half a year ago, Master Zhang remarried He Jinse a month ago, and handed over all the business of the Zhang family to her, so although the surname of this third family is Zhang, the actual person in charge is her!" ”

Li Feng nodded when he heard this: "I was still thinking about going to Zhang's house for a walk, but I didn't expect her to send it to the door by herself, let her come over!" ”

The guards retreated to the sides, making way for a path.

He Jinse was dressed in coarse linen clothes and came to Li Feng: "The people's woman He Jinse, knock on the king to drive a thousand years old!" ”

Looking at He Jinse, who was kneeling on the ground, Li Feng's pupils contracted slightly.

Although He Jinse is only wearing a burlap shirt, he still can't hide his charm, his body is concave and convex, and his skin can be broken by blowing, and he is a peerless beauty who is only ten years old.

He Jinse felt Li Feng's gaze, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Li Feng coughed lightly twice, "He Jinse, you are very well-informed!" ”

He Jinse is neither humble nor arrogant: "Chitose cleared the Youzhou grain market, this matter has been known to women and children, and the women are here to thank Chitose for this trip." ”

Li Feng nodded and said: "This king has a private visit, you don't have to be restrained, let's get up and talk!" ”

"Thank you Chitose Grace!"

He Jinse stood up from the ground, and his figure was outlined by his clothes.

Li Feng looked at it, secretly praised, and asked, "He Jinse, what are your intentions when you ask to see you today?" ”

He Jinse: "In the event of a disaster in Youzhou, the people are suffering, and the women are willing to donate all the assets of the family, purchase grain and rice to settle the victims, and share the worries of the prince!" ”

Li Feng sneered: "Merchants are very profitable, this has been the case since ancient times, you nominally want to share the worries of this king, but in fact you still have other intentions, right?" ”

He Jinse was also direct: "That's right, the women have only one request, I hope the prince can allow our Zhang family to mine iron ore!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Ji was furious: "He Jinse, you are so bold! Iron ore is a national reserve, so do you want to get involved? ”

"The imperial court's restriction on private mining is nothing more than the fear that the ore will flow into the people, causing chaos in the place, I can guarantee that the Zhang family will only cooperate with the government and will never let the ore flow into the people, and the prince doesn't want to hear about our Zhang family's conditions?"

In the face of Liu Ji's reprimand, He Jinse was not afraid, and her tough attitude also aroused Li Feng's interest: "What are the conditions of your Zhang family?" ”

"Although we are not as rich as the Liu and Li families, our Zhang family also has two million taels of silver, which can solve your urgent needs."

"In addition, our Zhang family still has 10,000 catties of old rice, which can help you appease the people outside the city!"

Speaking of this, He Jinse looked up at Li Feng.

Seeing that Li Feng was still frowning, He Jinse gritted his teeth and said: "We can pay 30% of the profits from mining and pay taxes!" ”

"This king has already ordered an increase in the taxes of merchants, and after making such a big sacrifice, how can you make a profit?"

"This matter is not to worry about the prince, Jin Se has his own decision, if the prince does not allow it, my Zhang family will not provide food for disaster relief!"

"Are you threatening the king?"

Li Feng frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied.

"The women don't dare, it's just that the Zhang family still has dozens of people who need to eat, and Jin Se is only a foreign surname in the end, if you really give up all the benefits, then I, the head of the family, am afraid that it will come to an end!"

"Aren't you afraid that the Zhang family will follow in the footsteps of the Liu and Li families?"

"The prince will not, because it is impossible for Youzhou to have no grain merchants forever, you should know that only the people of Youzhou will not be able to achieve food self-sufficiency, and these old rice were originally purchased by the Zhang family according to the market price, and there is no behavior of reducing prices and forcing purchases, even if the prince wants to reduce the crime, you will not be untargeted!"

He Jinse replied fluently, and his words were strong, obviously wanting to use grain as a bargaining chip for a long time.

Liu Ji on the side had already pinched a cold sweat for her, and after today, I was afraid that the three major grain merchants would cease to exist.

Although He Jinse's move was disobedient, Li Feng didn't mind, for him, the top priority now was to fill the treasury and provide relief and grain, if someone could do it, he didn't mind giving the other party some benefits.

Li Feng saw He Jinse's calmness, knew that this was her final bottom line, and nodded: "Okay, this king will agree to your request, and you can go back to the palace with me and get the approval for opening the mine!" ”

In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Great Qian Emperor strictly forbade the people to open mines, so as to avoid the incident of the previous dynasty.

However, Li Feng had already established himself in Youzhou, and he personally controlled all the regulations here, including the appointment and dismissal of some lower-ranking officials.

Because of this, Li Feng was able to directly respond without asking for instructions.

Although this kind of trivial matter can also be directly handled by Liu Ji, after all, this involves 30% of the profits after the opening of the mine, so Li Feng decided to do it himself.

When He Jinse heard this, his spirits perked up: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”

"Let's go!" Li Feng dispersed the crowd and walked straight to the street.

He Jinse was slightly stunned and asked, "Lord, don't you take the car?" ”

Li Feng: "This king is out on patrol, and there is no car!" ”

Hearing this, He Jinse hesitated slightly: "Since this is the case, then you can take my car!" ”

A spacious carriage was parked on the street not far away, and several members of the entourage were still watching.

It is more than ten miles away from the palace, and for Li Feng, who was born in a soldier, this distance is nothing, but seeing that it is getting late, Li Feng does not want to continue to delay time.

"In that case, then please sit with me!"

Before Li Feng finished speaking, a voice suddenly came out of the crowd: "The head of the family is sitting with you, it seems that it is unreasonable, right?" ”

The person who spoke was dressed in a short beat, and it was the carriage of the Zhang family that was leading.

It's just that this person is about thirty or so touched, his body is strong and strong, and the momentum he exudes when he gestures is far beyond what ordinary people can compare.

This man is a master!

However, Li Feng didn't care whether he was a master or not, and all of these guards around him were royal masters.

Before the man could get closer, the knife was already in his chest.

"Who are you to dare to question this king?"

"I'm the Zhang family's chauffeur!"

This person said that he was a coachman, but his eyes were very hot when he looked at He Jinse.

Li Feng knew at a glance that the relationship between this person and He Jinse was probably not simple.

Li Feng said coldly: "It's getting late now, and it will take time to return to the palace for approval, you said that it is not appropriate for this king to ride in the same car with his wife, so do you mean that you want this king to walk back to the palace?" ”

Although the man was angry, he didn't dare to attack, so he had to whisper: "The grass people don't dare! ”

"It's good if you don't dare, remember who you are!"

Li Feng snorted coldly, and got into the carriage with He Jinse.

The coachman gritted his teeth secretly, but he couldn't help it.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Li Feng couldn't help but admire: "The Zhang family is worthy of being a wealthy businessman in Youzhou, and even a carriage is so finely worked!" ”

The curtain of this carriage is woven of velvet, and there is a tassel hanging at the bottom, which is very fine.

The interior of the car is covered with white fox skin, with a tea table in the middle and a wide couch in the innermost part.

This couch not only allows two people to sit together, but can even lie down and rest.

In addition, the four corners of the carriage are even inlaid with pearls, which shine in the dim carriage.

Riding in the same car with Li Feng, He Jinse was obviously a little cramped.

"This carriage is still the one that my lord rode during his lifetime, and Jin Se indulged in the old man and never changed ......"

As soon as these words came out, the interior of the car was very quiet.

Although this couch was spacious, but with the bumps of the vehicle, the two couldn't help but get too close, the carriage pressed the stones, and suddenly fell to one side, He Jinse couldn't react, and actually fell directly into Li Feng's arms.

Li Feng subconsciously reached out to hug He Jinse and hugged her into his arms, and a pleasant aroma suddenly came to his nose.

Most of He Jinse's body was pressed on Li Feng's body, and the upright peaks and peaks were also sent into Li Feng's hands.

Facing the beauty's embrace, Li Feng smiled directly, and put a big hand around He Jinse's slender waist.

At this moment, a sudden inquiry came from outside the car: "The wheel was pressed against the stone just now, are you okay, madam?" ”

He Jinse was taken aback by this voice, and hurriedly responded: "I'm fine, drive your car well, don't startle the holy driver!" ”

"Madam, it doesn't seem right for me to hear your voice, is something wrong?"

"It's okay......"

Before He Jinse's words fell, a big hand opened the curtain of the car, Li Feng's eyes were quick, and he immediately helped He Jinse up, and moved his hand to He Jinse's waist, the light in the car was dim, and the two of them sat on the inside, so the coachman did not see any clues.

Good things were disturbed, Li Feng's face sank, He Jinse was ashamed and annoyed, and he was worried that the other party's move would anger Li Feng, so he immediately scolded: "You are so bold, don't you know that the prince is still in the car?" I don't know the rules! ”

Seeing that He Jinse was fine, the driver relieved himself and withdrew from the car.

After retiring from the coachman, she reluctantly held down Li Feng's big hand, and said in a low voice: "Why does the prince despise the untouchable women? ”

Li Feng smiled lightly: "You not only covet the Youzhou mineral deposits, but also threaten this king with food, if you want to cooperate with this king, then you have to show enough sincerity!" ”
