Back in the East Building, Pei Bujue went around to check the "security" work to ensure the safety of the members of the mission.

And Shen Yunbai had to follow his mother and his Uncle Yuan.

"Uncle, who is in your family? How many children do you have? ”

Jing Yuan said: "There are sixty old mothers, and a pair of children on their knees, all of whom are less than fifteen. ”

Shen Yunbai smiled: "Uncle, don't worry, I didn't say anything to my younger brothers and sisters, my mother took in a group of children!" I'm not jealous, I'm cute with them. ”

Pei Jin asked him to stop a little, and Shen Yunbai was confident, "We are all about to become a happy family, can't we be close?" Uncle Yuan, have you seen my son? When you enter the door, you will pick up a big grandson for nothing, and the tiger brain is rare. ”

Jing Yuan said in his heart: Why haven't you seen it? If it weren't for Xiao Shen Qi, would I have known your mother?

Pei Jin glared at Shen Yunbai, "Don't talk nonsense, my mother and your Uncle Pang are just close friends." ”

Shen Yunbai slandered: Can a friend close the door and chat inside? Can you go in and out together, even I don't avoid it?

At this moment, there was laughter on the stairs, and the noise was quite harsh. It turned out that Chao Li and Yu people had already touched the east building, and they were running around like visiting their own back garden.

Pei Jin sighed and said, "Your Majesty is too generous, and he doesn't have the same knowledge as these small countries. But the barbarians are not grateful, but they kick their noses in the face and take us as the wronged ones. ”

Jing Yuan said: "Your Majesty is very worried, floods, snow disasters, wars, epidemics, as well as intrigue in the court, how to balance the harem, fraud in the imperial examination, and officials are greedy for ink...... Therefore, tribute is really not a top priority for His Majesty. For so many years, he has been lenient to small countries. ”

Pei Jin nodded, "Even so, you can't let them come nonsense." Nowadays, there are more than 100 groups of missions that come to pay tribute every year, which is really too many. ”

Shen Yunbai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "So many missions? This is treating Daxi as a fat sheep, and he is scavenging wool vigorously! ”

"It's not all," Pei Jin said: "Some small countries are insatiable, and those who pay tribute are unsalvy. Daxi warehouse is full, but what is given back to them are silk and porcelain, you say, what are we not wronged? ”

Jing Yuan bowed slightly, and Shen Yunbai couldn't help but say: "Mother, it's just like what I used to be, I can't do anything, and I don't have anything left to eat." I bought you a pullover of noodles, and you were so moved that you could rest assured that you would recuperate and take care of all your belongings. ”

Pei Jin said: "You don't want to say anything like this." However, Daxi and Barbarian are the relationship between father and son. Even if they kneel and call us the kingdom of the East, they can't think of our treasury with one mind. ”

Shen Yunbai is a good joke, "Yes, it's shameless." ”

Some people also say that Daxi gave more money, but the small country showed the dignity of the whole country. But then again, haven't they ever been blessed? If you don't kneel down and kowtow and beg for a cover, you will already destroy the country!

"Mother is right, if you are a son, you have to see your identity clearly, for example, me."

Pei Jin looked at Li Chengen, who was full of elephant hats outside, and became angry, "A thick-skinned person like Chaoli actually comes four times a year, can't he make a cheap profit, is he willing to come?" ”

Shen Yunbai continued to praise, "This son is not as good as me." ”

"It is true that there are many tributary missions, which is the dignity of the kingdom. It's just that the son called his father, and he can be justified by spending his father's money? Daxi has been a father for so many years, and there are a lot of sons, each of whom comes to gnaw on the old, is there still meat in the father? ”

"Daddy is too miserable."

"Every time they go, they have to take more than 100 or even hundreds of people, do you know why?"

"Mother, could it be that you are doing business along the way?"

"That's right, their good things are in the caravan, and every time they exchange a large amount of money in Daxi, the tribute may not be so good. Now, every son is reaching out to press the New Year's money, so why do you have to plan? ”

Shen Yunbai's praise became more and more natural, "Mother, how to plan?" ”

Pei Jin was about to elaborate, when someone came to Shen Yunbai, "Shen Gongzi, I am waiting for the edict in front of the emperor, and I just got the order, please imitate the singing and dancing of the Mengwu and help in the next hand." ”

Shen Yunbai looked incredulous: "Uncle Yuan, didn't you paint the West Building?" ”

Jing Yuan said: "The nobles don't look down on Uncle Yuan's paintings, and they feel that the skills of painting are more proficient. ”

Shen Yunbai hated that iron could not become steel: "Look, you still have to be admitted to the imperial front, right?" Painting the edict is more face-saving! You, draw well. ”

Jing Yuan: "...... "I'm not painting an edict, what's wrong with embarrassing him?"

Shen Yubai pulled Jing Yuan aside and whispered: "You are my Uncle Yuan, I will say something from my heart, if you can't go further, then you will have to be companions of the two of us in the future, and the status of the family is the first and second." Uncle Yuan, you must be diligent, the road is long, Uncle Yuan is up and down. ”

After a long time, Jing Yuan finally left, and Jing Yuan asked, "Ah Jin, what do you think should be done with these tributary missions?" ”

！！！

Tan Jing never had any lines, but he had been serving him closely, so he couldn't hear it too clearly!

It's all called Ah Jin!

Is this called casually?

Of course, the prince is not casual, he does it on purpose.

Of course, Pei Jin noticed this change in title for the first time. She glanced at Jing Yuan, poured him tea, and said softly: "I'm not a politician, so I'm not necessarily right." ”

"Then let's hear about it."

"First of all, the number of tributes, Chaoli is absolutely not okay to pay tribute more than once a year, you can pay tribute once in one to two years. Small countries that are far away can do it once every five years, or even every ten years. ”

Jing Yuan nodded and asked, "What if they disobey the yang and the yin?" ”

Pei Jin smiled: "Cut him!" ”

Jing Yuan laughed out loud and asked her to continue.

"Then there are the tribute items, if you pay me a bad salute, don't blame me for giving back defective goods. A big country should save face, they sent me garbage, they just stepped on my father's face on the ground, can you get used to him?

We are fathers, they come all the way to kneel on the ground and kowtow, and the reward is indeed richer than the tribute. But ten times too much, it is easy to raise white-eyed wolves.

Also, I can't let the embassy bring people to Daxi uncontrollably, and the money spent on the reception is enough for me to deliver medicine for free clinics? It is better to do so, but all merchants who follow the mission must pay taxes according to the goods, otherwise they will not be eligible to accompany them. ”

Jing Yuan picked up the notes on the table and wrote them down one by one.

Pei Jin is right, Your Majesty is too good-looking, and the money in the treasury is used for disaster relief and army expansion, which is stronger than being beaten by a small country.

"Ah Jin, how do you know so much?"

"Didn't you say I'm well-versed in the past? I have read the history books of other countries before, which mentioned the tribute of a certain dynasty, and the upper country took care of face, but some small countries are really shameless. ”

Jing Yuan put away the note, "Tomorrow to meet the mission, I have to go to the palace now, I may not come back tonight, you go to bed early." ”

Pei Jin: "......"

What he said made Tan Jing stupid again......
