When Guo Shitong and Song Qingming arrived at the Princess' Mansion, Qin Feng was ready and waited for one person to start eating. However, when he saw the dishes, Guo Shitong was puzzled and said, "Why is it just a dish?"

There was only one pot on the stove, which was cooking inside, and there was a bowl of sauce next to it. Seeing that they arrived, Qin Feng uncovered the lid and poured the sauce in. Guo Shitong took the time to take a look, and then he felt at ease.

There are various ingredients neatly placed in the pot. When you look at it, you will find that there are ribs, beef, chicken feet, etc., and tofu, kelp, etc. on the side. The most important thing is that after the sauce is poured, you can smell a strong fragrance and the feeling of loss in your heart is instantly reduced.

Qin Feng knew that Guo Shitong could eat it, so he asked Jing Wuming to go in and pick up a few plates of cold dishes.

Song Qingming was not as outgoing as Guo Shitong. He stood by the side and looked at Qin Feng silently. Seeing that although he had lost weight and had become a little darker, he was still in good spirits. Finally, he felt sorry for him. He obviously walked out of the princess' death blow.

In Song Qingming's eyes, Qin Feng suddenly left the city to heal his love. Now he is calming down. As simple as he doesn't know Qin Feng's twists and turns. After he and Guo Shi took the seat, they still want to speak but stop.

Qin Feng saw Song Qingming's serious expression and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with Song Shangshu? I've been away for so long, as if I'm separated from Sui City. I don't know anything. Your Majesty asked me to be the fifth prince's brother, but he didn't fulfill his responsibilities."

It is most appropriate to use the fifth prince to split the topic, but Song Qingming was indeed interested: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, the fifth prince has now been recognized by all officials of the court, and His Majesty also joins the Ministry of Revenue."

"Why is the Ministry of Revenue?" Qin Feng was shocked: "The position of this official is limited. If you want to talk about the vacancy, isn't the position of the eldest prince in the Ministry of Personnel recently released?

Moreover, that position is a position with a false position but no real power, which is most suitable for a prince with a sensitive identity like Zhao Lun. What happened to Emperor Yuan? He was willing to arrange him into the Ministry of Revenue. If the Ministry of Revenue has a second prince, how could Zhao Lun use his tact?

Seeing Qin Feng frowning, Guo Shitong said carelessly while smelling the fragrance in the pot: "I heard from my father that this matter has been mentioned. Do you know what the fifth prince has? He has arranged him to manage business taxes."

Qin Feng was shocked and couldn't help but say a national curse in his heart. He was such a cunning emperor. He didn't intend to let the fifth prince inherit the throne. He thought he was just using himself to give the fifth prince a way out, but he actually had a hand hidden!

Commercial tax is one of the important pillars of the national treasury. Let the fifth prince be responsible for commercial taxes and make him the fifth prince’s brother-in-law. Is the next step to prepare to increase the commercial tax points and start harvesting?

War may begin now. In addition to the population screening in advance to check the number of people who can join the army, all kinds of arms need to be paid for. This tax is something that Emperor Yuan must do. It would be fine if the tax points were raised. If it was forced to harvest, Qin Feng felt aching.

Qin Feng's heart was surging, and he didn't show it on his face. Anyway, Song Qingming and Guo Shitong didn't see anything strange. The pot happened to be in. Qin Feng took it up and looked at the situation and poured the sauce again. He simmered it for a while before he opened the pot and asked them to eat it.

This is a three-sauce braised pot. The sauce was made temporarily by him. It was cooked until it was tasty and the meaty aroma was in the bone. The vegetarian dish was mixed with the meat aroma, and there was no need to worry about the coldness of the vegetables. It was most suitable for sitting around the stove and chatting while eating.

Guo Shitong waited for a long time, but he had a mouthful of food, and started eating with a bowl. Then Song Qingming was still gentle and followed the topic just now and said: "You don't know that a lot of things happened in Suicheng during the period of your stay."

"Is there anything bigger than the last time?" Qin Feng asked pretending to be unaware.

Song Qingming's expression was not good all of a sudden, and he sighed: "I'm afraid that the war will start. At that time, the people will be in poverty and the people will no longer live and work in peace. It's not a good thing. However, Your Majesty is preparing to invite the envoy of Nanying to come to Dongyue to discuss the friction on the southeast sea surface, and does not take the initiative to fight."

"Since that's the case, is it because Nanying's country is not rude?" Qin Feng thought to himself that if he was not in charge of war, why bother to invite an envoy to visit? This move seemed to be inferior. He frowned and said, "Why is Nanying so rampant?"

"Of course it's because He Yong is too useless." Guo Shitong was smacking his lips and sniffing the pork ribs, and swallowing the meat, saying terrified: "A fishing boat in Dongyue entered the southeastern sea to fish. Unexpectedly, Nanying jumped out and said that our people had crossed the boundary."

"Not only did the ship be collected, but the people were detained. We went to ask for people, but they didn't say anything about it. They also had a conflict with the navy. After a war, many of us went there and lost. The people were not rescued, and the ship was not brought back, and the heads were sent again!"

Qin Feng heard Guo Shi explain this storm in the most popular language, and only felt that he had the potential to tell a storyteller and invented the new saying of giving away a head. Thinking of the former navy soldiers I had met, Qin Feng was a little sad. It was so terrible that people were comparing people, which made people so angry.

Guo Shitong couldn't help but curse: "Your Majesty has a knot in the Chen family and has always strictly controlled the military supplies in Beiguan. The silver that was smashed to the navy was the same as snowflakes, just like silver, but are they the ones they had made? "

"This time the loss made the Nanying people proud. They took the opportunity to raise the commodity taxes and fees of Dongyue Kingdom entering Nanying. You said, isn't this treating our Dongyue as a fat sheep?" Guo Shitong was so angry that he punched himself in the leg: "Don't hell!"

Doesn’t this sound like a real war that turns into a trade war, and is playing the trick of raising tariffs?

There should be no tariffs in this dynasty. It is just that when the goods in the country go to other countries, a certain amount of taxes are required. Dongyue and Nanying are engaged in trade, so there is this level. However, Song Qingming said: "If they raise, can't we raise?"

Qin Feng shook his head: "It's not the superficial reason, it depends on the trade exchanges between the two sides. If Dongyue imports more goods toward Nanying, even if Dongyue adopts the same measures, we still pay more taxes. I wonder what the actual trade situation is?"

Guo Shitong was a military officer. When asked about him, he was the wrong person. He shook his head when he heard it. However, the Song family was different. Song Luo was the right prime minister and knew all the affairs in the court. Song Qingming and his father often communicated with each other and knew the situation.

"Dongyue exports a lot of goods to Nanying, such as jade, porcelain, silk, even rice, flour, grain, and oil, etc., all involved." Song Qingming's expression was a little heavy: "So we enter less and export more."
