The Imperial Study.

At this time, several cabinet ministers had already gathered, and Lin Bai was also called.

Zhu Tianzheng looked at everyone and said, "Let's talk about it!" Which prince is more suitable. ”

Candidates are a problem.

Zhu Tianzheng thought about it for two days, and finally decided to ask everyone's opinions, and after a pause, he added: "Don't mention the second and third children for the time being." ”

After these things of the Fan family and the Qin State Mansion, Lao Zhu is obviously a little tired.

Maybe it's to take care of the Night King's mood, or for other reasons, in short, the second prince and the third prince are excluded, and then only the eldest prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince are left of marriageable age.

The eldest prince is far away at the border, which can also be ruled out.

When the ministers heard this, what else to choose was none other than the four princes.

The background of the five princes is far from being compared, and there is no power behind it, so ......

Seeing this, Yang Guozhong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the best candidate is none other than the fourth prince." ”

The others also chimed in, because they didn't have a choice.

Zhu Tianzheng looked at Yan Zhenlin at this time and asked, "What does Yan Aiqing think?" ”

Yan Zhenlin was about to speak, but Yu Changqing, who had always seemed drowsy, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Lord Lin, as the deputy envoy of this mission, is fully responsible for this matter, and the marriage is also decided because of Lord Lin. ”

Panic! Why are you doing it when you have nothing to do?

Lin Bai vomited in his heart.

Zhu Tianzheng paused, then nodded, "Not bad!" Lin Qingfeng, who do you think will be elected? ”

Yan Zhenlin's eyes looked at him, and it was obviously quite meaningful.

Lin Bai is not stupid, naturally he doesn't know, if Lao Zhu wants to choose a word from the fourth prince, no one can say anything, after all, everything is there.

But he still took it out and asked, indicating that he didn't want to choose the fourth prince at all.

This old Zhu always feels that he has an opinion on the four princes!

Get! It was a matter of the emperor's family, and Lin Bai didn't have the heart to get involved, so he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, who to choose, in fact, depends not only on my attitude towards leaving the dynasty, but also on the attitude of the Wu Dynasty." ”

Zhu Tianzheng was stunned for a moment, "Go on." ”

Lin Bai said: "The four princes are the descendants of the main palace, so they are naturally the most suitable candidates, and the selection of the four princes can show the importance that I attach to this proposal." ”

"However, the marriage status of the two countries should be equal, if the four princes are envoys, then the one who will marry must be the daughter of the Empress of the Wu Dynasty."

"But, what is the attitude of the Wu Dynasty?"

"This marriage was not originally planned, it is a variable, and the attitude of the Wu Dynasty is not clear at present, assuming that they only want to be perfunctory, and they don't want to marry, or marry a princess who is not favored."

"And the fourth prince is my heir to the main palace, to marry or not?"

"Marry, I am half a head shorter than the Wu Dynasty when I leave the court, if I don't marry, it will be more troublesome, and it may affect the alliance."

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but nod.

The corners of Yan Zhenlin's mouth also hooked up a look of relief.

Lin Bai continued: "This is the first, and the other is the second, if it is really sent by the four princes, it will appear that the force is too strong, which makes the Wu Dynasty feel that I attach great importance to the alliance when I leave the court, and I can't wait." ”

"From this, it is inevitable that I will think that I am strong and middle-class cadres outside the DPRK, and I am not an opponent of Hulu, and I am eager to form an alliance, so as to despise my departure from the DPRK."

"In view of this, the minister thinks that the fifth prince should be the most suitable candidate."

Zhu Tianzheng showed a satisfied look in his eyes, looked at Yu Changqing and asked, "What does Yu Aiqing think?" ”

Yu Changqing replied: "Lord Lin is young, what he thinks and thinks, but he knows everything, no wonder he can be favored by His Majesty, His Majesty has a good eye, and the old minister is far inferior." ”

"Hahaha!!"

Zhu Tianzheng laughed heartily and looked at everyone: "Do you have any objections to Aiqing?" ”

This is the case, who dares to say that there are objections, and Lin Dacaizi's two reasons are reasonable and well-founded, and there is no way to refute them.

"The ministers have no objections."

"Good! Since this is the case, then it is so decided, and the five princes went to the Wu Dynasty to propose. ”

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Lin Bai spoke again, "This time the envoy, the minister wants to ask His Majesty for a will. ”

Zhu Tianzheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What will?" ”

Lin Bai said: "Back to Your Majesty, the purpose of this mission is to form an alliance and consolidate the relationship between the two countries, and the royal marriage is naturally an excellent model, but in addition, the people should also participate in it." ”

"The minister hopes that the trade route with the Wu Dynasty can be opened up and the trade between the two countries can be opened."

As soon as the words fell, some people objected, "This move must not be done, businessmen seek profits, it should not be advocated in the first place, and the trade between the two countries is even more serious, how can it be said that it will be opened." ”

"Not bad! Mr. Lin's move was ill-conceived. ”

“……”

Lin Bai said: "The importance of businessmen and commerce will not be repeated, Jinling's fundraising of military rations, Ping'an County, and the last fundraising of the household department are enough to illustrate the problem. ”m.

"The treasury is empty, and we can't raise money in this way every time, but we have to find a way to replenish the treasury."

"To enrich the national treasury, commerce is the best choice, business is the blood of the country, and only circulation can be revitalized."

"If we rely on Changjin and sell the cloth, tea, and porcelain that are abundant in our dynasty and extremely popular in the Wu Dynasty to the Wu Dynasty, not only can we make a lot of profits, but also promote the relations between the two countries, and the imperial court can also collect tariffs from them to enrich the treasury, why not?"

"In fact, the imperial court can't ban it if it wants to, there are still businessmen at the border who are secretly doing it, they are worried, and the imperial court can't get any benefits, rather than this, it is better for the imperial court to come forward to standardize, make a list of prohibited sales, and manage the ...... in a unified manner."

As soon as he made a big sense, Lin Bai felt that these ancients were too stubborn, but fortunately, Lao Zhu's eyes were shining.

From his eyes, Lin Bai only saw one word, money!

If you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, Lao Zhu obviously has a deep understanding, and said: "Even if I promise you, the Wu Dynasty is afraid that it will not agree." ”

Lin Bai said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will try his best to lobby this time." ”

"Moreover, this is the original intention of our establishment of Changjin County, at that time, His Majesty promised those businessmen to give policy, and those businessmen invested so much money, and now you are hindering it, then this money can only be found by your lords."

When they heard this, they were silent.

Just kidding, where to get so much money.

Seeing the appearance of the ministers being deflated, Zhu Tianzheng was happy for no reason.

These old guys usually have all kinds of rules and regulations, which gives him a headache, and Lin Qingfeng is worth it for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

Immediately said: "This is indeed the case, if this is the case, then it will be approved, but for the time being, only Changjin County will be used as a pilot, and other places will not be implemented for the time being." ”

Other places don't want you to implement it, so that the advantages of Changjin County can be reflected, and it won't be long before businessmen gather.

Lin Bai was beautiful, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Tianzheng immediately said: "Okay! That's it for today! You all stand down. ”

"Yan Aiqing and Lin Qingfeng stayed."

……

Some people died, but not completely......
