It's another day to attack Mr. Accountant

At the dinner table, Si Xu drank all the wine in his glass, picked up the wine jug and filled it up, put it down and hooked his fingers at Xue Xiao and Fu Li, "Do you know that the Banquet of Ten Thousand Nations is about to be held?

"I know." Xue Xiao tilted his head and looked at Si Xu, not knowing what he wanted to say.

Recently, Xue Rang and Xue Jin left early and returned late, and they were so busy that they did not touch the ground every day, just for the upcoming affairs of the coming of all nations.

"I have a channel to inquire. Tubo, who was beaten back to his hometown by General Ling Yun, wants to trade with me in the Yong Dynasty. I want to get involved. Brother Xiao, what do you think?" Si Xu asked Xue Xiao's opinion, after all Someone is easy to handle!

"Are you sure this is true?" Xue Xiao asked in disbelief, after all, he hadn't heard his father and elder brother mention it.

Si Xu nodded and said firmly that there was nothing wrong.

"If it's true, then brother Si Xu, I will help you." Xue Xiao said while patting Yue Xiong's chest.

As soon as Si Xu heard this, he knew that the matter was half done, and the next step would depend on the government's will and his own strength.

After solving such a matter, Si Xu pulled Xue Xiao to drink again, but after Xue Xiao drank three cups, Fu Li blocked the drink for him on the grounds that Xue Xiao was not good at drinking.

Seeing this situation, Si Xu laughed silently in his heart, it seems that someone is quite possessive.

In the carriage, Fu Li was reclining in the carriage with his eyes closed, and the slight smell of wine on his body indicated that he had not drank a lot.

"Tell me about you, why did you stop me from drinking?" Xue Xiao complained, but she was already happy in her heart, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Fu Li.

Fu Li half-opened his eyes, took the cup of tea and drank it down in one gulp, but said lightly that I was afraid that you would drink too much and do strange things to me again.

Xue Xiao was a little unhappy when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was indeed what Fu Li said, and he was speechless for a while.

The two remained silent for a while, and Xue Xiao peeked at Fu Li's sleeping face from time to time, and the more he looked at it, the more beautiful he felt.

"I see that you seem to be very interested in mutual trade, why?" After a while, Fu Li opened his mouth suddenly.

Xue Xiao was afraid that Fu Li would catch his sight, so he immediately looked straight ahead, "I think war is a very cruel thing. Once it is done, the parents who lost their children will feel so sad; Tubo has been invading me towards the border. It’s nothing more than food, land, if they open a trade market and exchange their horses, spices, and cloth for food, do you think they will risk their lives to fight?”

Fu Li was silent for a long time, and Xue Xiao told him the story of Zhang Qian in the Western Han Dynasty.

"I know this ancestor. I think he is great. There are few civil servants who can lead a team across the desert and go to various countries, just to fulfill the official's will. In the end, he expanded the territory for the court and improved economic exchanges. " Fu Li said his opinion to the point, and his tone was full of admiration, "Brother Xiao, do you want to be the current Zhang Qian?"

"I don't have such great ambitions. I just hope that the Great Yong Dynasty can prosper and the people will be peaceful, and the people at the border will be prosperous and happy. Besides, I just have selfish intentions." Xue Xiao shook his head and said.

Fu Li snorted, wanting to hear what Xue Xiao's selfishness was.

"There is a saying that in order to defeat a nation, in addition to infiltrating from spiritual culture, the most fundamental thing is to grasp their economic lifeline. If our business takes root in other small countries and is big enough to shake the lifeline of the country, you say they will Dare to fight against us?" Xue Xiao's tone was majestic and domineering, but the next second he blinked at Fu Li.

"Brother Xiao, I'm glad you didn't become an official in the court, otherwise I don't know how many ministers have stumbled in front of you." Fu Li praised Xue Xiao from the side, his eyes implying the pampering that Xue Xiao couldn't see.

Xue Xiao lifted his chin triumphantly, thinking to himself that I have lived two lifetimes, and with the high degree of information technology in modern times, if I don't have two brushes, how dare I mess around here.

Early the next morning, Xue Xiao entered the palace in a carriage.

Inside the Chuigong Hall, Xue Xiao was sitting on a chair waiting for the official to ask questions.

"Brother Xiao, do you think interoperable trade is a good thing or a bad thing?" Although the official's tone was soliciting, his attitude was indeed undeniable.

"Uncle, this matter is a double-edged sword. It depends on the attitude of the superior. If the superior is enlightened, he can certainly see the benefits behind this matter in the long run; if the superior is short-sighted and narrow-minded, he will only think The small country is going to use economic sanctions against itself. Of course, during the reign of uncle Haiyan Heqing, he must be a wise king!" Xue Xiao turned around and flattered the officials.

Who doesn't like to hear beautiful words? After hearing Xue Xiao's words, the official laughed loudly, pointed at Xue Xiao, and scolded you a sycophant with a smile.

"You lifted me to a high position, so what's the benefit of talking about it?" The official stopped laughing and threw the question to Xue Xiao again.

Xue Xiao pretended to meditate for a while before slowly opening his mouth: "First, it can show my grand demeanor and repay grievances with virtue; second, it can increase the revenue of the national treasury. After all, raising soldiers is a very expensive thing, and it is invested in the barracks every year. Thirdly, it can reduce border conflicts and ensure the stable life of the people at our borders, and they will not be ruined and their families will not be destroyed as soon as they open their eyes."

"Well, that's right. If Taizu didn't encourage businessmen to develop, the treasury would have been unable to make ends meet." The official stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.

"It's just..." Xue Xiao hesitated to speak.

"Brother Xiao, but it's okay to say!" The official stretched out his hand to let Xue Xiao continue.

"It's just that we can't agree quickly, otherwise they will treat us as soft persimmons, and we have to refuse a few times. When they are anxious like ants on a hot pot, we can take the opportunity to increase the size by letting go, and seek businessmen for me. Welfare, after all, we are a victorious country. Of course, the open market, we can not be careless, the soldiers have to continue to drill in case of emergency." Xue Xiao said clearly.

"Brother Xiao, do you have the idea of ​​becoming an official in the court?" the official asked tentatively.

"Uncle, you know that I'm too lazy and not suitable for the daily life. Even if I don't serve as an official in the court, as long as you open my mouth, I will definitely rack my brains and go through fire and water, and I will do anything." Xue Xiao said with a face The expression of refusal, as if being an official is a painful thing.

"That's all, that's all, I'm not trying to force others." The official said with a smile and waved his hand.

Saying thank you uncle for your kindness, Xue Xiao was relieved greatly. He became an official only when he couldn't think about it. Isn't it uncomfortable to spend time with nothing to do every day and go out to travel from time to time to see the small treasury?

After sharing his thoughts with the official family, Xue Xiao bowed and retreated. Before leaving, he went for a stroll in the East Palace and got a lot of good things from Prince Li Sun.
