Daming Palace, Hall of Health.

When Jia Qiang came in, in addition to Emperor Long'an, there were Han Bin, Lin Ruhai, Minister of Revenue Guo Songnian and Prince Li Shi of Kerong.

Seeing Lin Ruhai's serious expression, Jia Qiang knew that today's affairs were probably small...

After the ceremony, Emperor Long'an called out and asked straight to the point, "Jia Qiang, I heard that you are aware of commercial affairs, so you must be familiar with the Thirteen Tours of Yuezhou?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "I know, the emperor is the merchant who is responsible for the barbarian goods and collects tariffs on behalf of the court. Not only do I know that, but I also know that the combined assets of these thirteen families are definitely more than the money that the national treasury will have in the year of harvest."

Longan Di: "…"

Prince Li Shi of Kerong smiled and said, "Jia Qiang, are you so angry? The Thirteen-Shanghai families have accumulated over their lifetimes. Together, they can compare with the national treasury's annual tax. You are afraid that you don't know. When they talk about you, they admire you..."

"Okay, OK..."

Jia Qiang bowed and said, "The prince said things directly if he has something to do, so there is no need to worry about these troubles. I have not been domineering yet and I don't even talk about the right and wrong."

Li Shi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "Okay! Come on, please speak quickly! Since Jia Qiang, you are so happy, I won't go around in circles. That's right, the head of the Pan family of Thirteens went to Beijing to visit the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He said that Thirteens were willing to raise sea grain for the court! The price was 10% lower than the current market price, and there was no need for silver in the court! Thirteens have always been loyal to the country, and have donated all major events in the court. Now that we know that the new policy has begun to be implemented, we have experienced the difficulties of the court, so we are willing to purchase sea grain for the court, and the grain funds can be repaid in annual terms with Yuezhou Guanyin!"

Jia Qiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "There are such good things? OK!"

Li Shi was stunned again when he heard this. Emperor Long'an above and Han Bin and Guo Songnian carefully observed Jia Qiang's reaction. After seeing that Li Shi took Jia Qiang's important job again after beating the money house of the Internal Affairs Office, Jia Qiang responded so, and they all narrowed their eyes slightly.

As if seeing the expressions of the people around him were wrong, Jia Qiang and Emperor Long'an laughed and said, "If Thirteen Fronts had no other requirements and just wanted to take over the job of purchasing sea grain, then I would definitely be willing to invite them to drink, and I would willingly withdraw from the job. To be honest, my pressure has been a bit too much recently. Because I can't just expect the nine people to pay and work to buy food, after the last accident, I can't give them all my trust, so I let the Delin build a lot of sea ships, and my family's ships participate in it personally. Even if there are any changes in the nine houses, I can always buy a lot of sea grain. But to be honest, sea grain does not make money. If only sea grain is transported, the operation gap of the Delin will be huge in half a year. Now that someone takes over sea grain, I can laugh out loud in my dreams. Emperor, I have to say, Thirteen Fronts is a good person."

When Emperor Long'an heard this, he said lightly: "What if there is a requirement for the Thirteen Regulations?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "It depends on what they request."

Emperor Long'an looked at Li Shi without saying a word. Li Shi coughed dryly, cleared his throat and smiled, "There are two requirements in the Thirteen Lines, which is reasonable."

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "I hope to hear the details. Since I have invited me, it will be related to me. As long as it is not excessive, sea grain will be the most important thing."

Li Shipeng said: "Jia Qiang, you are growing more and more."

Jia Qiang: "..."

Perhaps Jia Qiang's eyes were too dazzling, Li Shi looked away and said, "First, the Thirteenth Line suggested: There is a very powerful Neiyang navy in Yuezhou, which always protects Yuezhou from being violated by pirates, and has never had any trouble. Therefore, I hope that the Dayan foreign sea masters will not interfere in the sea and sea defense of Yuezhou, so as not to cause uneasiness of the barbarians, panic, and sharp reduction of sea trade, and lower tariffs, which makes the Thirteenth Line disappoint the Tianjia trustworthy."

Jia Qiang heard this and refused to say anything, nodded slightly, looked at Li Shi's gaze and said, "What about the second point?"

Li Shi was dissatisfied with Jia Qiang's attitude, frowned and said, "The second point is that he hopes that no matter whether it is the Delin name of the Jia family, the Qi family of Yangzhou, or the other nine companies, if you want to trade foreign trade, you can only go through the Thirteen Lines! The Tian family originally had an order. In order to ensure the use of business to control the barbarians and ensure taxes, all foreign trade in Dayan is represented by the Thirteen Lines, so the Jia family, Qi family or other merchants should not overestimate the order of the late emperor!"

Jia Qiang was silent for a moment and said lightly: "In other words, Dayan's sea boat is not allowed to go to sea?"

Li Shi shook his head and said, "It's not the case. It's the trade of Dayan's goods and goods, and it can only be passed through the Thirteen ranks. This matter is related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Inner Treasury of the Tianjia. I think there is nothing wrong with it. The rules are like this. Jia Qiang, what do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Qiang slowly lowered his eyes under the various eyes of everyone. This time, the silence lasted for a long time, and the atmosphere in the Yangxin Palace became more and more solemn.

Even Li Shi himself was waiting for the rage of Jia Qiang, who had always been lawless, but...

All he waited for was a sigh of distraction...

"Your Majesty, I have no objection, I will sue you."

After saying that, Jia Qiang bowed and turned around and strided towards the outsider, his steps gradually became more and more urgent.

"stop!"

Seeing that Jia Qiang was about to walk out of the Palace of Yangxin and everyone was not speaking, Guo Songnian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, spoke and said two words in a deep voice.

Jia Qiang looked back suddenly when he heard the sound, his eyes sharp and dazzling. He looked at Guo Songnian with a light voice but extremely strong force, saying word by word: "Shangshu Guo still has any objections? If Shangshu Guo is willing, you can take away the Jia family's wealth. I think it's not like my life, but I will take away it now?" He showed his anger in his heart.

Guo Songnian walked to Jia Qiang step by step with his hands in his arms and said in a deep voice: "I have heard of the past trips of Duke Ning Guo. Apart from those things that He Ke and the princes were young and frivolous, most of the Duke Ning Guo should be worthy of the words "unparalleled" of national sages! Duke Ning Guo made the art of making stones into gold, and he earned wealth at a young age. However, he did not become rich and extravagant, but instead invested countless money into the canal, carriages, and sea-going state affairs. For this reason, not only did he not accumulate huge wealth, but he also lost millions of dollars. Duke Ning Guo had no complaints about this. If he could not bear the reputation of a national sage, who could afford it?

I was very pleased to see that the Duke of the State can have such a mind, and was very happy. I congratulate Lin, the emperor, and the prosperous times of Long'an!

Because there are successors to the court, and the new policy also has successors to the court!

This is the sign of prosperity and prosperity of the country!

Unexpectedly, I saw it today, but I was disappointed!"

Jia Qiang sneered coldly: "Plan to be disappointed with me? I am even more disappointed with you! Since we are tired of each other, it is better not to see each other. Say goodbye!"

After saying that, he turned his body and left again.

Guo Songnian held you back and said loudly: "I'm pulling you, not because of you, but for Lin Xiang! Lin Xiang has been proud of the country and a lifetime of reputation. He can't make you angry!"

Jia Qiang was furious when he heard this and wanted to catch the old man with his backhand so that he could make his words clear.

He didn't expect this person to be treacherous. After saying this, he left his hand and returned to the hall, which made Jia Qiang unable to advance or retreat.

At this time, Lin Ruhai smiled faintly and said, "Binzhi, if you have a serious word, what kind of reputation can I defeat? Let's put state affairs first."

Han Bin, who had not spoken, sighed and turned to Lin Ruhai and said, "Ruhai, you are better than me in terms of governing the country. When it comes to the ability to assist in government, I am impatient and cannot be compared with you. But if this soft and uncontested personality can be changed, it will definitely become a famous minister who has been remembered forever."

Lin Ruhai shook his head and laughed: "Yuanfu, wouldn't you let your servants lose face when you say such words in front of the emperor? It was originally the law of the ancestors. It was already a great blessing for the emperor to enter the cabinet by the emperor. It was enough to do something within his ability to repay the emperor's kindness, and it was enough to have a clear conscience. How dare you hope to be remembered for the past? As for today's affairs...thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of heaven, and there is nothing to say."

Han Bin's brow frowned, but before he could speak, he heard Emperor Long'an say indifferently: "Your dear words are biased. He is not the lord yet. What are you talking about thunder, rain, and kindness?"

As soon as this statement came out, Guo Songnian felt that Li Shi, who was not in his heart, suddenly turned pale and knelt down and said, "Father, my son's son deserves to be punished. My son's son..."

Emperor Long'an didn't even look at it, but waved his hand and said, "It's better to kneel aside."

Emperor Long'an was also disappointed?

Still disappointed...

After Li Shi knelt aside, Lin Ruhai seemed to be reluctant and suggested: "Emperor, the prince is finally doing the matter of sea food, and the Dayan Sea Trade has passed by the Thirteen Circles. It was originally planned by the late emperor, and it has evidence to rely on..."

Emperor Longan pulled the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and his sinister eyes stared at Jia Qiang again. He was obviously dissatisfied and shouted: "Damn it! You say, where is Li Shi wrong? If you dare to cheat and be careless, you will definitely be skinned today!"

After Jia Qiang looked around, he thought for a while and suddenly laughed: "The Fourth Prince, I can only say that he underestimated the emperor and the ministers. The prince, or the person behind him, had a little high opinion of himself, but regarded the emperor and the ministers as Jing Chu's old ministers. He didn't know that it was the Long'an court now!"

Emperor Long'an snorted coldly and said, "Avoid the important and the light!" However, he could not say that what Jia Qiang said was wrong.

After a pause, Emperor Longan sneered: "It's not just Li Shi who looked down on me and my beloved ministers. You, Jia Qiang, are different from yourself and think that I am all foolish and mediocre ministers?"

Jia Qiang smiled, but said nothing.

Guo Songnian shook his head secretly and said in a deep voice: "Thirteen Army is really brave! The Great Yan Sea Front and the country's military defense are important matters above the court, which is not a military and national affairs that are indisputable. A mere merchant in the Thirteen Army dares to make trouble, which is extremely arrogant!! Thirteen Army has no merchant ships going to sea, and what he said is that he has to deal with the Yi merchant fleet.

Food is the lifeline of the country, especially in the years of natural disasters.

How dare you deal with such a lifeline in a foreign country?

Behind the Thirteen Actions, is it a prudent move or a ill-intentioned intention? The court must investigate strictly!”

Han Bin said lightly: "It is not necessarily that Thirteen Army has come to the door. When I was the governor of Liangjiang in Jinling, I specifically understood the foundation of Thirteen Army. The Pan family and Wu family are all very smart merchants. They have always cursed the Tian family and are willing to give money. As for my understanding of them, with their cautious nature, these two requirements may be their extravagant hopes, but they may not have made them themselves. Prince, but someone has given you an idea to let Thirteen Army replace the nine families in Jiangnan and take over the shares of the Money House of the Interior Ministry? These two requirements are considered a little reward from the prince?"

When Li Shi heard this, he looked at Han Bin in horror as if he saw a ghost. Han Bin guessed such a secret matter like this?!

Unfortunately, he has always respected such a person, so why can't he use it for him?

Jia Qiang looked at Emperor Long'an with a dark face, and felt funny. Sure enough, in life, something more difficult than accepting mediocrity is to accept the mediocrity of his children. For an emperor with great ambitions and talent, this feeling may be magnified ten thousand times.

I think this is also the reason why there seems to be some estrangement between the Emperor and Empress of the Tian family recently, but how can I blame the Empress...

All the great masters of Wuying Palace were selected from the top smart people in the world from billions of people. Emperor Long'an gave birth to five sons. If one of them could appear in it, what would be the case?

In fact, in Jia Qiang's opinion, even if he lacks talent, he actually has no worries. As the heir to the superior, there is no need to expect him to have too high talent and talent. As long as he teaches him a little, he can be a successful king, that is, self-knowledge!

Also, it’s the most taboo, be smart!

Unfortunately, Li Shi occupied both of these points...
