Households

Lao Zhu was idle and had nothing to do, so he walked to the outer palace,

What makes Lao Zhu feel strange is that between the monarchs and ministers, for so many years, the only person who can let himself chat with him is Xia Yuanji.

It stands to reason that there are still a lot of old brothers who fight the world with Lao Zhu, not to mention Fu Youde and Tang He, who are now outside, and Xu Da and other old brothers who are in Beijing at the moment.

But Lao Zhu felt that he had nothing to say to them, but it was Xia Yuanji, and the two became New Year's friends.

As for Xu Da, although Lao Zhu wanted to invite Xu Da to dinner, he basically wanted someone else's girl every time, so he brought Xu Da here.

Usually when there is nothing to do, I forget about Xu Da,

In Lao Zhu's heart, Xu Da is a tool man.

"Your Majesty!"

Xia Yuanji saw His Majesty who walked in from outside the household, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

Zhu Yuanzhang is wearing civilian clothes, which is similar to a placket of padded jackets, with two hands in the sleeves, if you don't know Lao Zhu, you still think it is an old farmer from somewhere!

"Hahaha, it's very cold this day, get some warm!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xia Yuanji took a seat and poured tea.

A cup of hot tea went down his stomach, down his throat, and warmed Lao Zhu's entire chest, Lao Zhu exhaled hot air comfortably, looked at Xia Yuanji, who was standing straight in front of him, waved his hand and smiled,

"Sit down."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xia Yuanji is very principled in doing things, and Lao Zhu likes such people.

"Xiao Xia, we heard that our sugar industry is going to be sold abroad? What's the matter, is this accurate? ”

Lao Zhu's eyes lit up, as soon as he knew about this, Lao Zhu always thought about it in his heart.

He could have asked the eldest grandson, but when he thought that the eldest grandson was busy and busy, he wandered around to find Xia Yuanji.

Natsuhara Ji sighed,

"Your Majesty, this is too difficult to do."

"Difficult?" Lao Zhu frowned, "Our sugar is better than them, right?" ”

Xia Yuanji nodded and said, "The quality of the sugar of the Delhi Sultanate can be regarded as the top success, and the quality of the sugar of the Ming Dynasty belongs to the top of the best." ”

When Lao Zhu heard this, his face was full of pride, but his tone was still dissatisfied,

"That's it!

We sell it for the same price as theirs, what? Can they still control the people to buy better sugar? Do you have to buy something bad at the same price?

Let's see that there is no such reason in this world! ”

It's not that Lao Zhu can't understand the reason, it's just that when money is mentioned, Lao Zhu starts to double standard again.

"Your Majesty.... The dispute between the Ming Dynasty and the Delhi Sultanate over the sugar industry is not a dispute between two traders, which involves too much.

Just like the salt industry before the Ming Dynasty, the Ming salt industry was monopolized by the government, but the process of making salt was handed over to fixed salt households.

In this way, the court has money to earn, and the people have work to do, no matter how you look at it, it is a matter of benefit for both parties.

If the sugar of the Delhi Sultanate is so shocked by the Ming Dynasty, it will destabilize their country. ”

Xia Yuanji has something to say, this is something that few courtiers dare to say to Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu snorted twice, and he recognized Xia Yuanji's statement,

"That hasn't been done yet? Do they kick their legs and give up struggling? Aren't you afraid we'll beat them up? ”

Xia Yuanji said,

"Your Majesty, they still need to make a trade-off, whether the loss of going to war is greater, or the loss of ceding the sugar industry is greater,

After the trade-off, they will find an acceptable range.

According to Weichen, it is simply difficult for them to completely give up the sugar industry, but just giving up a few points is enough.

It is important that the sugar of the Ming Dynasty begins to flow into the Delhi Sultanate. ”

Lao Zhu smiled knowingly,

"Hahaha, Xiao Xia, your method is bad!

Forcing them to say that they want to occupy the entire market of their industry, so that they are completely unacceptable,

And then you put it forward, but you want a few percent of the share.

Compared to ceding the entire market, it is clear that this proposal is more acceptable to them and easier to succeed.

It turns out that your real purpose is here, just let our goods squeeze in! ”

Xia Yuanji replied with a smile,

"Your Majesty, exactly, as you just said,

As long as our goods have the opportunity to squeeze in, even if their court suppresses them, the people still can't tell whose sugar is good and whose sugar is inferior?

It's only going to get bigger and bigger, and it's only a matter of time before it takes up their nest. ”

"Good! All right! Then what is the foreign envoy of the Delhi Sultan of Delhi called Gandhi, it is extremely important,

Xiao Xia, you have to pay more attention to him. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After knowing what Xia Yuanji thought, Lao Zhu put down a big stone in his heart, according to Xia Yuanji's plan, it was only a matter of time before Daming won the market of the sugar industry in the Delhi Sultanate.

"Xiao Xia, do it well under our eldest grandson, we are most optimistic about you!

Under the hands of our eldest grandson, you are a wide sea and a fish jumping, the sky is high and the birds can fly, you can pounce hard and it's over! ”

Xia Yuanji couldn't help but smile, he didn't think about it so much, but he died as a confidant, and he did his best just to repay His Majesty's kindness.

"My lord! Urgent! Delhi Sultan's foreign envoy asks for a meeting! ”

An official of the household department ran in out of breath, and now the entire household department knows that the biggest thing is to conquer this foreign envoy of the Delhi Sultan!

"Oh? Said Cao Cao Cao arrived? ”

Lao Zhu hung in the air, and the buttocks that were about to leave sat back heavily, looking like this, he was going to press Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji's eyes flashed, and he felt that the situation was not optimistic,

According to his plan, he forced Gandhi to die so much, Gandhi had to think about two days before changing his words, and now he was in such a hurry to see him, Xia Yuanji could only think of one possibility,

That is, Gandhi's mentality collapsed, and he did not hesitate to go to war between the two countries to keep the sugar industry.

In Xia Yuanji's heart, war is just a bargaining chip for negotiation, but when it comes to actual war, Xia Yuanji absolutely disagrees.

Not to mention anything else, as long as there is a war, the household will be in an uproar and flow silver, Xia Yuanji sees it most really, and it is also the most distressed.

Some battles had to be fought, but for the Delhi Sultanate, it was clear that economic repression was more effective.

Xia Yuanji settled down, thinking that he still couldn't force Gandhi too hard, and he still had to be appeased a little later.

Gandhi walked in quickly, his face shining with spring, and exclaimed,

"Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand casually, "We are just passing, you can talk about something, when we don't exist." ”

Having said that, Gandhi still saluted Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully, and Lao Zhu sat here, even if he didn't say anything, it was oppressive enough!

Xia Yuanji gave Gandhi a seat, and was trying to organize language to appease Gandhi's fragile heart.

But Gandhi spoke first, straight to the point,

"Lord Xia! Daming's sugar is the best sugar I've ever seen! Da Ming people are the most simple people I have ever met!

Daming's sugar entered the Delhi Sultanate, and I raised my hands and feet in favor! ”

Gandhi's words directly stunned Lao Zhu and Xia Yuanji, and the two looked at each other, unable to understand why,

What's going on? Can Gandhi's attitude change a hundred and eighty degrees?!

Directly become Ganraf?!
