"Northside?" Zhu Su's face was surprised.

According to what Zhu Biao said, this Ouyang Lun's horse should be thinking about squeezing into the ranks of exploration and trade these days, since it has reached the point where even Zhu Biao has to avoid it, it shows that Zhu Biao has not beaten a lot before, but it has never had any effect.

Zhu Su was also ready to be stalked by him. But he didn't expect that after only a few words, he really gave up decisively?

"Yes." Ouyang Lun said with a smile, and in his eyebrows, there was a kind of self-satisfaction in mastering everything. "The leather business in the north and the mountain goods business in the west can be used, and my brother allows my family to come and go as a traveling merchant. Ji'an Hou, Yan'an Hou and other noble families are all doing these businesses, and my brother can't bear to see my family in poverty, right? ”

Ji Anhou, Yan'an Hou and others were Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng and other nobles who were unwilling to hand over their property and land and give up their military rights to enjoy wealth during the night banquet in the palace a few years ago. Although the land they had previously forcibly seized was not recovered, and the court came forward to wipe their buttocks, they were also targeted by local officials and Jinyi guards, and there was no chance to be as arbitrary as in the past.

Their family has always been used to lavish spending, and they saw that those martial generals who fought for the imperial court in the south and north were becoming more and more prosperous, how could they be willing to fall into the lintel? But without the enterprising general, there is no way to use martial arts to prop up the façade.

Then only money will support the surface of the shelf. In this way, these nobles who choose to be "rich and noble" are spending money like running water, and the family business that Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng and others have worked hard to "accumulate" a few years ago has a sign of a generation of emptiness. The family is jumping every day for these yellow and white things, and these people also regret and regret their previous choices.

In order to have income in their families, these outdated nobles had no choice but to start a business business. The best choice is naturally the business of Yingzhou and Fengmingzhou gold mines, but these businesses are strictly controlled by the imperial court, even if an imperial prince like Ouyang Lun is stubbornly begging for Zhu Biao, he can't ask for a survey.

Not to mention these nobles.

However, doing business in the north and south is different, and there is no need to contemplate it, and now most of the border generals in the land of the nine sides and the southwest and west have old ties with these nobles.

It's just that in terms of income, it is far less profitable than the business that goes to sea.

Ouyang Lun first sought to go to sea for exploration, and then asked for a business opportunity in the north after failing to do business, Zhu Su was surprised, but his heart was also greatly relaxed. Doing business in the north is no better than going to sea, and it is indeed something that everyone can do. However, there was still a trace of doubt in his heart, and he thought for a while before he spoke: "If you want to go north to do business, I do have some useful contacts here...... It's just that you are a Jinshi after all, do you ...... in business?"

"Brother, Lun is just a lieutenant of a horse, who doesn't care about things and doesn't watch politics. Where is a serious official? Ouyang Lun smiled bitterly, and then his face turned gloomy. I'm a donkey, but it's not as good as a nobleman who has lost his military power......"

Zhu Su was dumbfounded. Ouyang Lun's position in the court is indeed a little embarrassing, although he was born as a jinshi, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant. Civil officials are not like civil officials, and nobles are not like nobles. However, he had to endure the restrictions on both sides, he couldn't do business, he couldn't buy land, and he could only rely on the few acres of Yongye land that Lao Zhu gave him when he married his daughter.

Today's Daming is not a very shameful thing to do business, if he really wants to do business to make money to support his family, he can be regarded as a little "motivated".

"Well, you don't have to show up in person. Civil officials are not allowed to do business, but the princess is unhindered. ”

"When I turn around, I will organize a caravan to the north to do business in the name of Anqing, and I will find some old ones for you and protect your caravan...... You don't want to bother the eldest brother about this matter anymore, the eldest brother is now in charge of everything, and his mind is full of national affairs, you and I are short of parents, it's really not good to let him increase the burden again. ”

"Yes, yes......" Ouyang Lun responded repeatedly, but his face was full of joy that could not be concealed.

After getting Zhu Su's promise, Ouyang Lun had no interest in staying longer. After a few more pleasantries, he found an excuse to leave in a hurry. After Ouyang Lun left, Xu Miaoyun took the maids and brought food to Zhu Su from the back house. Seeing Zhu Su's solemn face, she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Could it be that there's something wrong with this colt?"

"Huh? …… Not really. Seeing that it was Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Su, who came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and said: "It's just a little puzzled, according to what the eldest brother said, this Ouyang Lun is bent on reaping the heavy profits of the Fengmingzhou gold mine, but it turns out to be so easy to get rid of......"

Immediately, he talked to Ouyang Lun and Xu Miaoyun one by one. Xu Miaoyun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said, "It's really a little strange. It is said that if he wants to swallow gold and make a lot of profits, he will never be so happy because His Highness has promised to take care of his caravan. ”

"And this north side is for business...... Isn't it enough to be named a colt? Why do you have to come to Your Highness for your approval? ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and Zhu Su, who was carrying the dish to his mouth, was stunned when he heard Xu Miaoyun's words. Yes, doing business in the north does require connections. But Ouyang Lun's own name as the captain of the horse, isn't it difficult to use?

An Qing is her father's daughter-in-law, and in terms of it, his name Ouyang Lun is better than Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng and others. The biggest difficulty in doing business in the north is undoubtedly the word "thoughtful", Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng have to find some people who are willing to keep the old military in his caravan in order to do this business. And Ouyang Lun...... Which side will dare not to give face to Lao Zhu's concubine?

There must be something strange in it, what kind of business does Ouyang Lun want to do? Zhu Su instinctively felt that this matter would not be so simple.

"If Your Highness wants to investigate, you should do it as soon as possible." Xu Miaoyun said to Zhu Su. "If Ouyang makes a big mistake when His Majesty returns to the court, he will not be fortunate to think about it."

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a trust, we need to stop it before it is wrong."

"I know." Zhu Su only felt that one head and two were big, and this business was the most difficult to decide, but he didn't even know what Ouyang Lun wanted to do at this time.

This is still his sister-in-law, so he can't beat or scold, so he can only think of another way.

Moreover, he already vaguely felt that this matter was not as simple as involving Ouyang Lun alone.
