And Princess [GL]

You Sanniang is the head of Dayan Fenghui Trading Co., Ltd., and is engaged in grain trading business in Dayan. This time, You Sanniang lent the seafood drying place.When she got the emperor's oral order, You Sanniang didn't believe that she would be able to enter the palace one day, after all, it was a very noble place, but today You Sanniang not only entered the palace, but was summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, not only by His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor actually said that he had something to discuss with them!

Every emperor and national teacher in Dayan is appointed by the sea god. Before the national teacher dies, he can sense the location of the next national teacher, and the emperor is searched by the national teacher.Therefore, the status of the emperor and the national teacher in Dayan is extremely high, and Dayan is different from other countries where people rebelled and fought for the throne, because it was the will of the Sea God, and if you betray the Sea God, you will never be blessed by the sea.

Now such a high-ranking person actually said that he had something to discuss with them, You Sanniang knelt down and kowtowed together with other merchant women, and said: "Caomin dare not." They really dare not discuss with the emperor, if the emperor has something to do, Just do what you say.

Yan Chuyun waved his hand and said, "Everyone is flat, come here and give seats to all the business ladies."

After You Sanniang sat down in trepidation, she heard the emperor say: "I have summoned all of you here today to discuss something. I intend to open the sea ban, and I want to ask all the business girls, if the sea ban is lifted, will you be able to do so?" Will you go overseas to do business? What method and identity will you use to do business?"

Not to mention these two issues, the word "opening the sea ban" has shocked all the business girls. The sea ban has been banned for 200 years, and none of them have ever gone to other countries. They are all doing business in Dayan. Now the emperor His Majesty mentioned the ban on opening the sea, which made them afraid and expect something in their hearts.

The merchant women didn't see the emperor as often as the ministers did. They panicked in the court hall, even though their thoughts were rolling like waves, they didn't dare to speak.

Yan Chuyun was not in a hurry, and said softly: "Everyone can discuss and discuss. There is no rush at this time, everyone, take your time."

Hearing what the emperor said, all the officials felt very resentful. His Majesty the Emperor told them in the early court that the seafood was ready and they just had to discuss this matter. He was not in a hurry to come to the merchant girl.

Fortunately, the ministers were only slandering, but they also understood His Majesty's painstaking efforts. His Majesty did not want the businesswomen to feel pressure, and deliberately said this to comfort them.

Sure enough, after a while the businesswomen began to discuss in low voices.

This discussion was led by You Sanniang. She is considered a leader among this group of business girls, and she is also older. Seeing that the emperor was waiting patiently, she plucked up her courage and said to the people around her: "Your Majesty said the ban on opening the sea!" For one thing, what do you think?"

People around me frowned slightly, and said in disapproval: "I don't want to go to sea. My family has been in business for generations, and the family precepts don't let me wait to go to sea to do business. If I go to sea, it will violate my family precepts and rules."

"I'm willing to go to sea!" said a young girl behind You Sanniang, "I heard that girls from other countries can only weave and spin silk when they are young. Well, I'm in the silk business, but it's not easy to do, if I can sell Dayan silk to other countries, I don't know how much money I can earn back!"

"Young and vigorous!" Just now he objected to the woman and said: "Do you know how scary it is outside? My ancestor was kidnapped by the bastards of another country, and I thought that Dayan couldn't open the sea ban. It's okay for you to go out, but those What if all the men come in?"

"How did this come in? I, Da Yan, have never had a man enter the island or go out to do business in the sea for thousands of years. As long as you pay attention, you will not encounter any problems. My ancestors have done countless businesses in the sea, so why don't you see them?" Who's the problem?" The head of the silk and satin village said unconvinced.

Although the business girls said their own things, Yan Chuyun could hear a little bit of it, and after listening for a while, she understood that those who had an accident with their ancestors would not want to open the sea to do business, and those who had no accident with their ancestors wanted it very much. go try it.The older business woman said that this matter was full of worry and melancholy, and the younger business woman was very interested in it.

After half an hour, Yan Chuyun saw that they did not have a definite answer, so he patted the table and said, "Everyone, stop first."

Although the merchant girl and the officials were very involved in the discussion, they stopped immediately when His Majesty opened his mouth.

When Yan Chuyun saw that the court was quiet, his red lips parted lightly and said: "I have just heard some of you, and I know that you are worried about the safety of Yan after the sea ban is lifted. What is the safest way to go to another country.”

For a while, the merchant girl was completely quiet, and after a while, the head of the silk and satin village stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people have something to say."

"Sure." Yan Chuyun heard her say something just now, but now he also wants to hear what she can say.

The head of the silk and satin village said: "Your Majesty, the Caomin is Sheng Yiran, the head of the silk and satin village. His Majesty just mentioned the sea ban. If the sea ban can really be lifted, the Caomin will take the businesswoman from the village to go to sea to do this silk business with other countries. .”

"En." Yan Chuyun nodded and said, "Why are you so willing to go to sea?"

Sheng Yiran said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Caomin began to look at the family tree when he was young. Whenever he saw how much money and supplies his ancestors had exchanged with Yan silk in other countries, Caomin wanted to do business in other countries like his ancestors."

"Are you not afraid of any danger in other countries?" Yan Chuyun asked.

Sheng Yiran said: "Your Majesty, Caomin are not afraid. Caomin's ancestors also encountered countless difficulties, but they were all resolved in the end. Caomin was also very timid when they were young, and their mother said that this world is not safe at all. No matter where they are, they will encounter difficulties." But as long as you are strong and others don't dare to provoke you, then you won't be afraid to go anywhere."

Yan Chuyun nodded and said: "Yes, that makes sense. All of you are from my famous Shang family, and I know that your family was once prosperous. My Dayan had to close the country because of the victim of a merchant woman, but now, Dayan There are so many good things that cannot be sold to other countries to earn money from other countries, but instead become a burden to me, this is what I don't want to see."

Speaking of this, Yan Chuyun stood up. When she was sitting, she was full of aura. Now that she stood up, she released all the aura around her, so that no one in the hall dared to raise her head again.

"I thought that if we use Dayan's surplus materials to sell to other countries to earn money and strengthen our country's national strength, who will dare to bully my people when Dayan becomes a powerful country?" This is what Yan Chuyun has always thought in his heart Things, as the king of a country, the most important thing for her to do is to protect the safety of the people of the country, but now Dayan's national power is not getting better every year, the country is rich in supplies, and the people are self-sufficient, but the treasury has no more money because of the war. If taxes are increased, the people will be miserable, so why not use Dayan's surplus supplies to exchange for other countries' money to protect the people of Dayan?

"What Your Majesty said is true!" The group of ministers knelt down and responded before the business woman, because they, like Yan Chuyun, discussed the matter from the perspective of Da Yan, not just thinking about their own interests like the business woman.

Seeing the officials kneeling down, the business ladies knelt down and said in agreement: "Your Majesty's words are very true."

Yan Chuyun originally thought that the business women would discuss some solutions, but he didn't expect that some of them would be so opposed to the ban on opening the sea. Yan Chuyun was very depressed for a while, and said in a deep voice: "That's it for today, everyone go home, tomorrow morning, everyone will meet again Hundreds of officials go to court together, I hope that tomorrow I can come up with some way to protect the safety of my big Yan who goes to sea to do business."

After the words fell, Yan Chuyun waved his sleeves and left.

When Zhang Yi heard about this from Sun Shangwen when he returned to the palace, he smiled lightly and said, "It's only normal for business ladies to think so."

"Is your empress thinking the same as the merchant girl?" Sun Shangwen looked at Zhang Yi incredulously, she always thought that Zhang Yi was standing by the emperor's side.

Zhang Yi raised his hand to scratch the bridge of her nose, teasingly said: "Although you are here with me, your heart is all on your emperor, I just said a word, look, you started to be unhappy with me for your emperor gone."

If Zhang Yi said these words with a straight face, Sun Shangwen would definitely want to be blamed, but she said with a smile, showing a trace of intimacy, Sun Shangwen didn't think it was blame, but blushed and said shyly: "Why, The servant girl's heart has always been towards the empress!"

"Okay, I know." Zhang Yi said: "Actually, I can't blame the business girls for this matter. Think about it, His Majesty the Emperor thinks about everything for Dayan, but the business girls are more for the interests of the family. The starting point is different. , it is difficult to unify opinions.”

Sun Shangwen suddenly realized, nodded and said: "What your mother said is true."

"Then what should I do?" Yan Chuyun listened outside the door for a while, and now she heard Zhang Yi talk about it so easily, she suddenly felt a sense of expectation, she thought, Zhang Yi might have a good idea.

Zhang Yi turned his head to see Yan Chuyun, and his originally happy mood was suddenly discounted.Having known Yan Chuyun for so long, Zhang Yi has already regarded her as a friend. Seeing that Yan Chuyun frowned slightly today, Zhang Yi couldn't help saying: "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is not as complicated as my lord thinks."

Yan Chuyun's eyes lit up, and he walked to Zhang Yi's side and said, "Then what can the queen do?"

Zhang Yidao: "It is only necessary for the people to understand that a strong country can make the people rich, and a strong country can lead a stable life. How can the country be strong? It needs money. Raising soldiers requires money, swords and horses also need money, and shipbuilding also needs money. Silver. His Majesty the Emperor loves the people like a son, and he is not willing to pay so much money from the people of Dayan. Wouldn’t it be great if he could use Dayan’s rich materials to earn money from other countries, use the money from other countries to support Dayan’s soldiers and horses, and then defeat the soldiers of other countries? "

Yan Chuyun's eyes lit up, "Well, please ask a storyteller to write a story and tell it every day in restaurants and teahouses, and it will spread faster."

Zhang Yi also smiled, with a sly look in his eyes, "You can also let people infiltrate among the literati, and discuss this matter. The literati have read poetry and books, and they will definitely be able to come up with some solutions."

Yan Chuyun nodded and said with a smile: "Those who sneak into the literati must be talented, so that they can lead the literati's thoughts into the right path, otherwise they will definitely miss the topic."

"The interests of business girls must also be guaranteed. If they earn enough money, they will be more willing to go to sea." Zhang Yi continued.

Yan Chuyun's thoughts changed, "So going out to sea to do business can reduce or exempt taxes, and set up the position of imperial merchant. If you do well, you can be named an imperial merchant!"

Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows, "Then Master Guoshi wants to tell His Majesty that this imperial merchant should be given to me!"

"Definitely!" Yan Chuyun readily agreed, and then said, "I will discuss and arrange with His Majesty."

Speaking of Yan Chuyun leaving in a hurry, Zhang Yi looked at Yan Chuyun's back and thought, this national teacher is more talented than the emperor, if it wasn't for Dayan's special national conditions, how could the emperor tolerate such an intelligent person by her side?
