He struggled to get up, and did not forget to thank him, "Thank you, Secretary." ”

But he got together, because he knelt on the ground for a long time, his body was stiff and he almost fell to the ground.

"Watch out for the General."

Qiu Feng stretched out his hand to help, but was stopped by Ji Yi with his hand.

Ji Yi's internal strength was profound, and his blood circulated all of a sudden, and he quickly regained his mobility.

He followed Qiu Feng and came to the main hall of the West Study, which he was very familiar with.

Compared with the cold and freezing outside, the warm current in the main hall is warm and warm like spring.

The eunuch kept the fireplace blazing.

Ji Yi came straight to the front of the hall, knelt on the carpet again with a poppy, touched his forehead to the ground, and said:

"Criminal minister Ji Yi, see His Royal Highness the Prince."

He called himself a sinner.

Yuan Zhi is reading a lone book, "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries"

Like the Zizhi Tongjian, Zhenguan Dignitaries is a book that successive emperors must read carefully.

Unlike the many versions of "Zizhi Tongjian" circulating on the market, the "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries" in the hands of the prince is a unique book, and it is also a banned book, which can only be a royal collection.

Once it is seized in the people, it is equivalent to secretly possessing weapons and armor, which is a felony of murder.

Because in the whole "Zhenguan Political Leaders", there is only one thing, that is, how to be a good emperor and how to govern a country.

Of course, the emperor himself and the prince had to read this book, and if others read it, of course, they had ill intentions.

What do you want to do?

If you want to rebel, you won't kill anyone!

The prince glanced at Ji Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said very casually:

"In this passage of "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries", it is said that the king is dependent on the country, the country is dependent on the people, and the concept of respecting the people is important and the king is light, you are a military general, and you don't want to ask you whether this sentence is right or not, how to understand it, I just want to ask you, since the king is dependent on the country, and the country is dependent on the people, then what should you do as a courtier?"

When Ji Yi heard this, he immediately grabbed the horse.

As a military general, he is the commander of the secret guard, and he is good at martial arts or killing.

But if you want to talk about the past and the present, or culture, he has studied private school for a few years when he was a child, and it is good to be able to basically understand the documents, and the others are really difficult for strong people.

And the concept of governing the country mentioned in Zhenguan's political leaders, let him explain it clearly, it is better to let him hit the south wall quickly.

Under the search of intestines and stomach, Ji Yi stubbornly held back a sentence, "The criminal minister doesn't know these big truths, and he has never thought about this, the criminal minister remembers the decree of His Royal Highness, which is the mission of the criminal minister, even if he goes to the soup and fire, he will not hesitate." ”

Answering questions is like showing loyalty.

Qiu Feng secretly sweated for Ji Yi.

The prince glanced at Ji Yi with his eyes and did not make any comments.

Ji Yi's answer, if it was Xu Xinchun, Wei Changjin or even Shi Shenyi, Ma Feihai, etc., would be unqualified, and in exchange for the prince's roar, it would even shake their official positions.

But only Ji Yi can.

A military general who doesn't have much ink in his belly expresses his determination and loyalty in front of his master, this is the way to be a minister and a general.

It is reasonable that a blind cat touching a dead mouse is the best answer.

Today, if Ji Yi doesn't say a word, it is estimated that the prince's anger will rise rapidly.

"You're done?" The prince put down the book, looked at him with blazing eyes, and asked.

"It's all done, Your Highness."

Ji Yi replied respectfully: "Let that little marquis go back and let him pass the word." ”

"That's good." The prince replied lightly.

After speaking, he put away his body and leaned on the back of the chair, cocked Erlang's legs, raised his eyelids and glanced at Ji Yi, and said slowly: "You go down, go to the gate and automatically receive ten canes." ”

Seeing that the prince issued a fine, Ji Yi was not only not depressed, but his face was full of joy, and he said excitedly: "The guilty minister has thanked His Royal Highness for his tolerance, so he will go and receive the punishment." ”

He knew that when the ten rods came down, his ghost gate would be completely passed.

Qiu Feng, who was standing in the room, listened to the conversation between the two of them, as if she was talking dumb, and she didn't understand a word.

What's even more incomprehensible is that this General Ji replied indiscriminately, and the prince actually let him go easily.

It's not like you've always been strict.

As soon as Ji Yi left, the doorman reported that Xu Xinchun had come to see him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Zheng Shaoqiu, the chief supervisor of the Department of Commerce and Trade, came with the head of the Jinyang Wang family and the young master, Weichen communicated with them according to your order, and the attitude of their father and son was very positive, expressing their willingness to cooperate with the imperial court, did His Highness meet them?"

Xu Xinchun got straight to the point.

As soon as Yuan Zhi heard that the Jinyang Wang family had come to the capital, that is, the Taiyuan Wang family, the head of the eight Jin Shang families, he immediately became interested.

"Okay, just meet their father and son in the side hall of the west study, as well as Zheng Shaoqiu, you go and arrange for them to come over."

"Yes." Xu Xinchun withdrew from the main hall and went back to the yamen to arrange.

"Secretary, order to arrange a reception in the side hall."

"Follow the Prince's orders." Qiu Feng immediately went out and asked the eunuchs and palace maids to arrange it.

Jin merchants, in ancient times, were one of the top ten merchant gangs in the Central Plains.

They are mainly engaged in the salt industry, ticket numbers and other businesses, and are especially famous for ticket numbers.

This is exactly the economic means that Yuan Ze wants to solve.

At present, most of the Jiangnan is under the control of the vassal kings headed by King Ning, plus the major high-ranking families in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as Jiangzuo League and other Jianghu forces are entrenched.

It is now difficult for the imperial court to exert control over Jiangnan.

All, Yuan Zhi wants to use the northern wang clan to confront the southern forces.

Jin merchants take profit and righteousness as the criterion, have the spirit of hard work, perseverance and enterprising, and are known for their honesty and trustworthiness.

A stick of incense.

Two official chariots entered the square in front of the west study.

The first car came down from the chariot, of course, it was Xu Xinchun, the head of the Privy Council, and three people came down from the back, except for Zheng Shaoqiu, the chief eunuch, and the other two were businessmen in silk brocade clothes.

A thin man in his fifties with blazing eyes is Wang Zhong, the patriarch of the Xiyang Wang clan, and the other is Wang Pu, the young patriarch of the Wang clan, who looks shrewd and capable.

This time, they came to Beijing together as a father and son.

The group entered the side hall, faced the crown prince on the throne, and knelt down to bow and salute.

After the ceremony, the prince sat down.

In addition to serving tea, the palace maids also have pastries, fruits and other snacks in the palace.

"You father and son came from Jinyang, how many days did the journey take?" Yuan Zhi first greeted as the opening remarks.

"Back to Your Highness, it took five days in total, and I only arrived in Beijing yesterday." Patriarch Wang Zhong replied.

"What kind of industries do you have in Beijing, semicolon?" Yuan Ze continued to ask.

"Yes, of course, the Wang family has semicolons in Qianzhuang, grain, restaurants, tea, etc."

“……”

The prince then asked Wang about his business activities, his economic situation, and his views on the policies of the imperial court.

Wang Zhong and his son clearly came prepared, well prepared, and understood their family business, as well as the trade transactions throughout the north and south, as well as the borders, as well as their views on the economic situation.

The father and son used appropriate words to avoid damaging the royal family and the court's face, but they also made a lot of suggestions and areas for improvement.

All in all, the answers are very fluent and there is actual data analysis.
