After the mission reported to His Majesty, Lu Yi couldn't wait to summon Qin Bo, led him into the secret room and asked:

"In your previous letter, you only said that you had an unexpected harvest in Liangzhou, but the letter was unclear. Now that you are back, please tell us in detail."

"That's right, it's a gain, but can it make His Majesty pay more attention to the school affairs office?"

Qian Qin, one of Lu Yi's right-hand men like Qin Bo, also asked in a somewhat urgent tone.

Qin Bo's trip was obviously to participate in the war horse trade, but secretly he was looking for connections with the Han people.

Therefore, when His Majesty summoned the envoys, it was naturally impossible for him to reveal the deal he had made with the Han people in private.

Otherwise, the people in the mission will only get the credit in vain.

It is even possible that the true purpose of his trip will be exposed and his opponents in the DPRK will be wary.

For the school administration, this was a sensitive moment, and Qin Bo would be foolish enough to reveal his exclusive trading channels in public.

At this time, the school office was surrounded by his own people, and Qin Bo could not hide his joy:

"Go back to Zhongshu. Before I go into details, I would like to ask Zhongshu to take a look at this thing."

Qin Bo said, took out something from his arms and handed it over.

Lu Yi took it and took a look and said in surprise:

"Is this...a candle?"

"Exactly! Let's take a look at Zhongshu. Is it round, smooth, beautiful and white? Can it be considered a top-grade thing?"

Along the way, Qin Bo was thinking about selling round, smooth, beautiful and white things, so he naturally blurted out the words.

"It is indeed top quality..." Lu Yi said, but frowned a little, "But what does this thing have to do with your harvest from this trip?"

He didn't know how many pearls he had seen, but he wouldn't take a candle in his eyes. He looked at it briefly and then handed the candle to Qian Qin beside him impatiently.

What he is concerned about now is what happened with that "Xiao Wenhe".

"Lu Zhongshu, the Han people promised us to give us at least 30,000 of these top-quality candles next year..."

When Lu Yi heard this, his eyes widened suddenly: "Thirty thousand? Huh? Huh!"

Then he suddenly turned around and took the candle back from Qian Qin's hand, and held it up in front of Qin Bo:

"This? Thirty thousand?"

Qin Bo nodded affirmatively: "No less than thirty thousand."

"monopoly?"

"That's right, the Han people said that they are the only ones in the world who have this kind of high-quality goods. Now in Dawu, we are the only ones who can get the goods from them."

When Lu Yi heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head to look at the candle in his hand and rub it carefully:

"Good stuff, good stuff. It's round, smooth, beautiful and white. It's really a good stuff!"

Lu Yi touched it for a while, then suddenly remembered something, then raised his head again and asked:

"But like that brown sugar, 30,000 pieces every year?"

Qin Bo smiled proudly:

"Next year's 30,000 is just a base number. As long as we can sell well in Wudi, there will only be more in the future. The better the sales, the more they will give."

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

Lu Yi finally couldn't help the ecstasy in his heart and burst into laughter.

Qian Qin also laughed and said:

"I'm afraid the Han people don't know. When it comes to doing business, I'm afraid no one in Wu can compare with the School Affairs Office."

Everyone laughed along with him.

Over the years, the school affairs office has used many methods, overtly and covertly, to make money for His Majesty's Young Mansion.

Even many mountains and swamps have been circled and no outsiders are allowed to enter.

If you really have the right to sell the goods, and it's the right to sell such high-quality goods, people will come to your doorstep with money even if you just lie down.

For example, if you cannot get a share of brown sugar from the Zhang family, some people with real connections will even go to Shu privately to look for it.

Although you can't get much from Shu, it's better than not even being able to taste it.

But if the school government really takes over the right to sell candles, whoever is short-sighted and dares to steal goods from Shu will be seeking death!

After laughing, Qin Bo continued:

"Speaking of brown sugar, I went to Liangzhou this time to meet with Feng Wen...er, Feng Langjun, and I got a promise."

"Oh, come on, come on, come on."

Qin Bo then promised Feng Langjun that if he could change the grain supply to sugar cane in Jingzhou, he could also allocate a share of brown sugar to the school officials.

We also went through details about whether it would be available for woolen materials monopoly next year, or the year after later.

Lu Yi and others all heard their eyes glowing green.

Brown sugar, wool and other bulk supplies have been coveted by the school administration for a long time!

But even if the Zhang family is settled, it is useless if they cannot establish relations with the Han people.

Not to mention that the Zhang family has a close relationship with Feng Langjun. If you suppress the Zhang family, it will be considered as offending Feng Wenhe. In the future, there may be no chance to get these goods.

Therefore, no matter how envious the school office is of the channels in the hands of the Zhang family, they can only suppress their desires in their hearts and dare not move lightly.

This time, taking advantage of the war horse trade, the school affairs office sent Qin Bo to the Han Kingdom to test it out and see if he could get a piece of the pie.

Unexpectedly, things turned out so smoothly. How could everyone in the school affairs office not be overjoyed?

"Qin is really a great contributor to our school affairs office this time!"

Lu Yi did not hesitate to praise him, "Your Majesty's treasury is empty. If the school affairs office can relieve your Majesty's worries, who can easily shake our position in your Majesty's heart?"

"Opposite to pole!"

…

Everyone agreed.

Since Li Heng spoke before His Majesty, although His Majesty did not say anything explicitly, the school affairs office also tried its best to remedy the situation.

But His Majesty's attitude seems to have undergone some subtle changes.

For example, I heard that His Majesty looked ashamed at that time.

For example, instead of having nothing to do behind Li Heng, he was appointed as Zhuge Ke's military commander.

Especially the latter matter is simply a slap in the face of the school affairs office.

However, Lu Yi and others had to be much more careful in their actions than before.

Qin Bo's return from this trip finally broke the current situation.

Once the big stone in his heart was gone, Lu Yi finally returned to his old ways, but saw a look of resentment on his face:

"Based on the current situation, Li Heng's matter is most likely a plot of the East Palace. Otherwise, why would Li Heng become Zhuge Ke's Sima?"

Among the four friends of the East Palace, Zhuge Ke ranks first, and he is also the most valued aide to the prince.

"That's right, over at the East Palace, I guess it's for Jiangxia Governor Diao Jia and Shizhong Shiyi to come forward."

Qian Qin explained to Qin Bo, "Li Heng is from Jingzhou and is related by marriage to the Xi family of the Jingzhou family. And the Zhuge family... ha!"

Today, Zhuge Jin is ranked as a general and has been guarding Jingzhou. In name, he can be regarded as the largest family in Jingzhou.

So Qin Bo immediately understood it as soon as he heard it.

Diao Jia, the governor of Jiangxia, was suspected of "slandering the government." Under the power of the school affairs office, no one dared to speak out. Only Shi Yi, who had been assisting the prince, refused to admit it.

The matter finally came to an end.

It seems that Donggong used the Jingzhou family to attack the school affairs office this time.

"That's it for the East Palace. The prince has always disliked the school affairs office and has repeatedly written to His Majesty to express our faults."

Lu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "But this time the Jingzhou family dared to stretch out such a long hand, I'm afraid they have the wrong intention! I can't touch the prince, so why can't I touch them?"

"That's right, the Jingzhou family has taken a lot of brown sugar from the Han people over the years. This time, we got Feng Mingwen's permission, so we can take advantage of this matter..."

Qian Qin's eyes flickered and he smiled coldly.

Now that the school office also has the right to sell brown sugar, the aristocratic families in Jingzhou are considered competitors.

If they take more, it is equivalent to taking an extra mouthful of food from the mouth of the school administration. How can you bear this?

The Zhang family cannot be touched because the Zhang family has a relationship with Xiao Wenhe.

What does the Jingzhou family have to do with Xiao Wenhe?
