The most advanced deception is open conspiracy, which makes people fall into the trap willingly.
After reopening border trade, setting up tea-horse trade, allowing free trade among the people, and removing various restrictions, the tea market transaction volume in Beilu and Damu will inevitably undergo a drastic change.
With such a road to wealth and prosperity with so much money rolling in, it is impossible for the Pei family, who controls half of the tea plantations in Jiangnan, not to be tempted, and there is no way they would not get involved.
Therefore, Su Fengyi was certain that even if Pei Yu knew that this was her conspiracy, he would definitely agree.
If the trade can be done through legitimate means, who would risk being beheaded for smuggling?
Su Fengyi is ready to eliminate the smuggling business of King Pingliang at its root.
Equal and free trade is only within the range of cannons.
When the Shen family destroys the main force of the Northern Tartars and crushes the Northern Tartar royal court, the Northern Tartar army will be terrified and dare not invade the border of the Great Mu Dynasty again. I believe that the Northern Tartars will naturally learn to be honest and polite, understand that robbery is shameful, and understand what are the rules of doing business.
It doesn't matter if some people don't know etiquette and are impolite. After a few kills and enough deaths, they will eventually understand.
At that time, border trade was reopened and the tea-horse trade flourished.
After Pei Yu left, Su Fengyi called Dan Gui:
"Tomorrow is Qiao Gui's birthday. Go and ask him what arrangements he has made. Who has been invited to perform?"
Even though they knew the princess would not attend Qiao Gui's birthday, the Qiao family would still send invitations to Su Fengyi every year to maintain harmony and decency.
Dangui is in charge of the interpersonal relationships at the Princess's Mansion. Whenever a post is sent to the Princess's Mansion, although the Princess basically won't go, Dangui will find out in advance in case the Princess suddenly wants to go, or if there are any taboos at the table that would make the Princess unhappy, to take precautions.
Therefore, Dangui knew clearly about weddings and funerals in the capital, how many tables were set up and who was invited, which actors were invited to perform and what songs they were good at, which chef prepared the banquet and what flavors they cooked, and which farm had the most seasonal vegetables.
Hearing the princess' question, Dan Gui was confident and said with a smile:
"Your Highness, I have already asked during the day. The Qiao family invited Hongyu from the Qingyuan class."
Qiao Gui loves to listen to operas and is a drama fanatic. He especially likes Hongyu from the Qingyuan troupe. If Hongyu goes to his house to perform opera, then Qiao Gui must be in his house tomorrow, not in the palace.
It is a rare opportunity that Qiao Gui is not with the emperor.
Su Fengyi smiled and said:
"Ms. Hongyu is both beautiful and talented, so it's only natural that the factory owner likes her.
You go and prepare a generous gift for Miss Hongyu and tell her that the factory manager works in the imperial court every day and is very tired. Both I and the Emperor feel sorry for him.
Let Miss Hongyu take more care tomorrow and show her true abilities to serve the boss well and make him happy.
If she makes the factory owner unhappy, I will never forgive her."
He doesn't want to return to the land of tenderness, and with Hongyu holding Qiao Gui back, I'm afraid that tomorrow the factory manager's heart and eyes will only have the beauty, nothing else.
Dangui went to prepare a gift for Hongyu, and Su Fengyi sent Wutong over:
"Go and tell Captain Zhu to do something for me tomorrow..."
After hearing this, Wutong immediately agreed and prepared to do it. When he walked out of the room, he ran into Luqing.
Seeing her happy face, Lu Qing knew she was hiding some gossip. She was so curious that she grabbed her sleeve and refused to let go.
"Well, you, are you hiding some good news from me that makes you so happy?"
Lu Qing felt really uncomfortable when she thought that there was gossip that she didn't know. If she didn't get to the bottom of it, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep all night.
Wutong pulled up his sleeves and hurried out:
"Don't stop me, I'm doing errands for His Highness."
But gossip is not only uncomfortable for those who can’t hear it, but also for those who know it but can’t tell it. Wutong couldn’t help it, and left a sentence before leaving:
"There will be a huge event in the palace tomorrow. I just regret that I can't go and watch it!"
Wutong ran away after she finished speaking, running faster than the wind. Luqing couldn't catch her from behind, and she was so angry that she kept cursing:
"Either don't say anything, or finish it. You're the type who only tells half of the gossip. It's really infuriating!"
……
After Su Fengyi got up the next day, she always felt that the maids serving her today were particularly diligent. Even when she was combing her hair, there were four maids standing by to serve her.
When she finished her breakfast and picked up her whip to go out, four maids surrounded her with expressions that said "Choose me, choose me, choose me!" on their faces.
Even Bai Guo, a girl who was obsessed with staying in the house all day helping the eldest princess count money and didn't like going out, was eager to try.
It was rare for Bai Guo to want to go out, Su Fengyi asked Bai Guo curiously:
"I am going to the palace, do you want to go with me?"
Ginkgo's face is full of starry eyes:
"Mmmmm! Can this servant go?"
There is nothing wrong with this, but Su Fengyi became even more curious:
"When did you learn to ride a horse?"
Baiguo was stunned for a moment, her eyes red and she was about to cry. She had forgotten that she didn't know how to ride a horse, but she also wanted to watch the fun, what should she do!
She hated Wutong for only telling half of the story, and she hated Luqing for chattering in her ear all night long and guessing eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight kinds of excitement.
Baiguo was forced to think about it for the whole night. What on earth was going on?
Baiguo failed due to his lack of skills. After learning from his mistakes, he went to the stable to learn how to ride a horse.
Among the remaining three, Wutong relied on his past power to suppress Dangui and Luqing, and won the opportunity to go out with Su Fengyi.
Su Fengyi went there at the time when officials were on duty. Because the morning court session was abandoned, officials usually arrived at the government office to clock in and go to work at noon.
The Hanlin Academy is located in the imperial palace, so Pei Yu would go to the palace at noon every day to work in the Hanlin Academy.
No noise was allowed in the forbidden area of the palace. Pei Yu followed the crowd silently and when he met a familiar colleague, he nodded as a greeting.
As a result, when he arrived at the palace gate, he was stopped.
The person who stopped him was a captain from the East Depot, whose surname was Zhu. Most people in the East Depot were domineering, but this Captain Zhu was usually a humble and polite person.
Pei Yu and he were just nodding acquaintances. They had neither personal friendship nor personal grudges. It could be said that they had no personal connection at all.
Pei Yu bowed and saluted:
"Captain Zhu, what can I teach you?"
Captain Zhu did not have any preparations. He changed his usual humble demeanor and spoke arrogantly:
"Prince Consort Pei, you are not allowed to enter this palace!"
Pei Yu was not angry either, and smiled:
"Oh, why did you say that?"
Zhu Qianhu snorted coldly:
"Taizu issued an edict that the imperial consorts were not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Imperial consort Pei goes to the Hanlin Academy every day. Isn't he suspected of interfering in government affairs?
Prince Consort Pei, take off your official uniform, hand over your official seal, and leave immediately!"
Pei Yu smiled and said:
"My official uniform and seal were granted by the Emperor. Since Captain Zhu is not Your Highness, you cannot take them."
Captain Zhu was determined to take away Prince Consort Pei's official seal and uniform today, so he gestured to all four sides:
"Prince Consort Pei has violated the teachings of our great ancestor and deserves death. Capture him immediately!"
Captain Zhu said this because he wanted to make the scene bigger, in order to meet the eldest princess's requirement that the noise should be known to everyone and be lively.
As a result, even though he spoke so harshly, Prince Consort Pei was surprisingly calm and was still smiling.
How can I laugh at this!
What are you laughing at? Jump up and scold me!
It was really difficult for Captain Zhu to perform a one-man show while keeping the stage from collapsing. Fortunately, the eldest princess came to save him.
At this time, the eldest princess' voice came from behind:
"I want to see who dares to touch him!"
