"Donghai, Yanyun's salt and wine monopoly. At present, except for these two monopoly rights, which can attract the cunning merchants in the imperial capital, I am afraid that nothing can make them moved." Leng Qian said slowly, but there was a little helplessness in his eyes.

"But Mr. Leng, if we do this, we will really break with the merchants in the East China Sea. The monopoly of salt and wine in these two places has been monopolized by them for many years." Situ Tai was a little hesitant. He was not ready to turn against the merchants in the East China Sea. Although the merchants in the East China Sea are not as wealthy as those in the Jiangnan businessmen, they have always been very united and quite xenophobic. Lao Qi did not win their respect there at the time, and he was even more rare to win their favor.

"Hmph, the situation is now like this, we can only take this move. If it weren't for them, how could we have reached this point? Could it be that Your Highness really thought we could rely on them?" Leng Qian asked coldly. Whether it was the Seventh Prince or the Great Prince, it seemed difficult to capture the hearts of these businessmen who valued the interests of their class. Perhaps in their eyes, only the rulers who completely safeguard their interests are the people they need.

Seeing that his lord was still hesitant, Leng Qian further emphasized and said, "Your Highness, Beiyuan is already in ruins. Yan Yun is the foundation of your Highness now, so we must ensure the stability of our foundation. As for the merchants of the East China Sea, since they are unwilling to work together with Your Highness, your Highness does not have to be too generous and kind. Not to mention the monopoly of salt and wine, depriving them of their rights and wealth when necessary is also one of the measures that can be taken, as long as the situation reaches that point and is necessary."

A resolute look finally rose on his face, and a coldness quietly rose in Situ Tai's eyes, almost squeezed out a sentence from his teeth, and even his words showed a hint of chill: "In your opinion, do we need to take special measures to deal with those stubborn businessmen? If we can kill the chicken and scare the monkey and hit those guys who hold money and refuse to let go, do you see if our current predicament will improve?"

His proposal suddenly aroused the murderous intent of the lord who had been lurking for a long time, but Leng Qian was not ready yet. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "This, Your Highness, we should not be too hasty. Although the East China Sea merchants are hateful, we still need to consider the various subsequent matters after you ascend the throne, so it is better not to move them for the time being. After Your Highness ascends the throne, it will be much easier to deal with them."

After a long breath of anger, Situ Tai wanted to teach those ignorant businessmen a lesson, but in the long run, he had to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens. Everything needed to revolve around the throne. Now even if he is a little bit of abusive, he has to endure it. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. After he becomes a treasure, he will slowly deal with these guys.

"Well, Mr. Leng, you have to worry more about these things. Well, if you have the right candidates, you might as well select more personnel to help you. Now Cheng Huai can barely get involved in military affairs. You still need to worry more about government affairs here. If you can have a few people to help, we don't have to be so tired."

Situ Tai's words also aroused Leng Qian's empathy. The lack of people who can trust and get started is a matter that Leng Qian also feels urgent now. Once the lord sits on the throne of the emperor, there will be too many things to worry about, far from being comparable to now, and it is necessary to prepare early.

"What did you say? Tao Tingzhi? Tao Tingzhi among the two scholars in the clouds? He wants to see me?" He raised his beautiful old crow eyebrows in surprise, his sea-blue pupils floated with doubt, his curly long hair draped over his shoulders, leaning against the flannel woven recliner, the girl held up, and the pair of trembling * saw that the pretty girls who came in to report could not help but flashed their eyes.

As if he noticed the burning gaze of his close maid, the girl smiled and scolded without mind: "Damn girl, where are you looking at people like this? Don't you?"

"Hehe, the lady's figure is getting better and better. If the son-in-law comes in now, his eyes will fall to the ground." The maid who was scolded by the master was not afraid of this girl who is both master and sister, and she speaks unscrupulously.

"You! You speak more and more unruly. People say that I have spoiled you, but I don't believe it. It seems that I have to discipline me strictly, so that outsiders will not laugh at me for not having any tutors." Although the words were a little stern, the tone did not change much.

"Hehe, who would laugh at Miss? Sister Li and the others said that Mier was innocent and should not look like some girls who were premature. Didn't the lady agree with it last time?" The pretty maid refuted her master with politeness.

"Okay, okay, I can't tell you, you will naturally suffer in the future. By the way, did Tao Tingzhi ever say what he wants to see me?" The girl sat upright, and the pretty maid also put an embroidered tweed shawl on the shoulders of her master's fitted cheongsam.

"I didn't hear the concierge say this. The concierge only said that he had been waiting at the gate and asked to see the lady. Could it be that he was a Liming who admired the lady at his age? "At this time, the maid couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed.

"Damn girl, I'm not talking nonsense and destroying people's reputation. Tao Tingzhi is not a simple person. He is also a well-known scholar in Yanyun. His private school is far more famous than any official school in Yanyun County. His peaches and plums are everywhere, and he is a respected elder in the Yunzhong area. But I don't know what he wants to see me. Even if there is anything, he should go to Situ Tai or the current emperor.

Your Majesty is right." The golden fluffy hair was tied into a generous bun, and then a black silk hair net was woven with a bag. A combined lotus-colored cheongsam outlined the body to make it exquisite and concise. The luxurious temperament contained in the sexy is enough to melt all the ice and snow. The bright eyes are kind and graceful. The faint blue eyes are like the bottomless ocean. The golden hair secretly scattered from the hair net is dancing towards the sun. At that moment, the elegant and exquisite charm is coming.

"Then why did he come to ask for a lady? Could it be that my son-in-law asked him to come and find a lady? Is there anything that needs to be conveyed to the lady?" the maid also asked in confusion.

"No, I've never heard him mention this person, and I haven't said it a few days ago. There must be other reasons." The blonde shook his head and stood up, "Let's go, don't let someone wait for a long time. Maybe there's something important."

Tao Tingzhi, who was waiting in the gatehouse of the Huey family, was indeed desperate, so he became anxious and went to the doctor with the idea of ​​trying his luck to find the rumored candidate for Princess of His Highness, the King of Qin. His Highness ignored him, and His Majesty the Emperor had no intention of asking about it. He saw a humanitarian tragedy happening in Yunzhong Prefecture. Hundreds of thousands of refugees were short of clothing and food, and those who could escape had fled to neighboring prefectures and counties. Most of the remaining ones were to drag their children and daughters and could not go out. Or some elderly, weak, women and children were approaching. The Puer people looted the entire Yunzhong Prefecture and escaped. Only hundreds of thousands of poor refugees were left, without food and clothing. How could this allow the refugees to survive the cold winter for several months?

However, during this period, he and several gentry elders of Yunzhong had already escaped and retreated. From the Jinling where His Highness was stationed in the festival to the imperial capital, he encountered walls in every place. No one was interested in Yunzhong, which was far away in the north. His Highness seemed to have forgotten that Yunzhong was still his territory, and later he even avoided him in the name of going out for inspection. From Jinling to the imperial capital, His Majesty the Emperor's attitude was even more agitated. In addition to complaining about poverty, he was pushing it to His Highness. In short, it was a bit unlucky. Now Feng Chuan Emperor is even more interested in transferring the throne to His Highness, and he is afraid he doesn't want to ask about these matters.

In despair, a few people had to look for the important officials and nobles everywhere in the imperial capital to see if they could find some kind-hearted people to show their compassion. Finally, someone reminded them of the headless flies that His Highness King Qin had just provided a large amount of food to the imperial capital at a low price to provide the living needs of the people in the imperial capital. If they could obtain the support of His Highness King Qin, the problem of refugees in the cloud could be solved.

Miss Anqier of the Huey family is not only a confidante of His Highness Qin, but also one of the powerful candidates for the Princess Qin. This news is no longer a secret in the imperial capital, so Tao Tingzhi's rash visit was arbitrary.

Although he was anxious, Tao Tingzhi was still shocked by the peerless manner of the elegant and noble young woman sitting opposite him. Fortunately, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people were far more than anything for this scholar who was often compassionate to the world. He quickly woke up from his shock. After a simple greeting, he conveyed his intentions and solemnly asked the other party to provide assistance to the people in Yunzhong.

To be honest, Angel was moved by the other party's enthusiasm and kindness and was traveling thousands of miles away. This heart alone was enough to prove the noble moral sentiment of the person in front of her. Angel wanted to help the other party from the bottom of her heart. But as the spokesperson for her fiancé in the capital, she also knew the weight of her words and deeds. But she also needed to consider the interests of the entire Western Xinjiang represented by her fiancé. It was easy to make a reply, but she needed to consider the views of the entire Western Xinjiang interest group that this was obviously aid for charitable acts, especially after Wufeng agreed to provide 10 million harbors of food to the central government at a low price. Many officials in Western Xinjiang believed that it was too much to make concessions to the central government and it was not worth paying such a big price for the empire.
