Lord Shoufu, your wife has escaped!

"This time, the Yanghai merchants have gone so far with their arrogance that they harvested the savings of the people of Fengcheng for many years by means of secret means. They simply sucked the blood of Daxing."

"But in fact, Yanghai is short of supplies. If you don't buy supplies from Daxing, you won't be able to survive. Daxing has a vast land and abundant resources. As long as you prohibit trading, within ten years, the people of Yanghai will starve to death!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Li Hongyuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache.

Fengcheng Zhizhou colluded with Yanghai merchants in private, and the matter of annexing the common people's land was reported to the public after all, causing a huge disturbance in the court.

However, in this situation where the three kingdoms are at the same level, if business is prohibited, the word hostility is almost written on the face, and the situation may be explosive.

Moreover, there are many merchants in Daxing, and they are not allowed to trade, so what should they do?

What's more, the materials across the country are not balanced. If there are no merchants to transport and coordinate them, who should do this job?

It's not that everyone doesn't know these truths, but the Yanghai merchants did take advantage of the business, and everyone has been resentful for a long time.

From the perspective of the overall situation, Li Hongyuan naturally disagreed. At this time, the Xiongnu hadn't finished fighting yet, and if they rashly provoke Yanghai, they would suffer from the two sides attacking at that time.

But everyone's attitude was very firm, and they spoke one after another in the imperial study, supporting and opposing, and arguing together.

At this moment, someone came in and handed Yu Taiqing a letter. Yu Taiqing opened it and read it, and his face suddenly became strange.

Li Hongyuan glanced over, Yu Taiqing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is no need to discuss this matter again."

Everyone was taken aback, Li Hongyuan said: "What news?"

"The matter in Fengcheng has been settled. There is a... merchant who earned back the land a few days ago and returned it to the local people."

Li Hongyuan's eyes lit up: "Oh? There are such geniuses? Where are they from? Who is their last name? Let me know."

"Cough, everyone should have heard of this person." Yu Taiqing paused until everyone's appetite was whetted before he said slowly, "This person's name is Bai Yuxin, from Huizhou."

Everyone: "..."

Is this Bai Yuxin the same Bai Yuxin they know?

If it's just a stranger, they might still be able to make up the image of an outsider.

But not only did everyone know about this person, but he was often abused by a certain wife and slave, and was poured into his ears countless times, almost subconsciously rebelling. The better Gu Mingzhou praised him, the more they would secretly refute in their hearts.

People who fall in love are blind. Judging by the way Mingzhou is taken care of, it is estimated that they are completely blind.

Can such a person be trusted?

But this letter was like a slap on the face of everyone, causing them to twitch.

Such a matter that has troubled everyone for a long time, was actually solved by Bai Yuxin's soldiers without bloodshed... What the hell is this!

It's no wonder that Gu Mingzhou praised people like flowers before, but such people are willing to wrong him and become Laoshi Ziqi's brothers. Could it be that they were forced by Gu Mingzhou?

A picture of robbing civilian men instantly appeared in everyone's minds.

But not everyone has forgotten business.

"These are two different things." Someone was unconvinced, and his eyes widened. "There are so many merchants in Yanghai who have been raging endlessly for many years. This is our focus today. How can he, a small merchant, change it?"

Yu Taiqing shook the letter slowly: "It's hard to say."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The letter said that those businessmen were taken over by Bai Yuxin."

Everyone: "..."

Yu Tai glanced at the crowd, and continued, "He bought a large amount of grain from Yanghai and went to the border."

Everyone: "......"

What's up, is he a robber?

The words are tactful, but everyone is in the officialdom, so there is no way to hear the meaning behind the words.

Obviously it is "acquisition", but behind the scenes it is mostly "obvious robbery".

I knew he was powerful, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful, it's just...

Good job grab some more and come back!

Suddenly someone coughed: "In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with having more merchants."

There was an instant cough.

"Yes, yes, very good, very good."

Under the same policy, once they found out that it was beneficial to them, a group of old foxes immediately changed their faces, and they stopped talking about emphasizing agriculture, suppressing business, and prohibiting business.

It's best to have a few more Bai Yuxin letters to make Yanghai a little weaker and reduce the burden on people's livelihood, that's what I wish for.

Li Hongyuan asked for the letter, read it several times, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

He could almost imagine the shock and fear of those businessmen who thought they were invincible when they met Bai Yuxin.

Gu Mingzhou can do it, it is really not easy to deceive such a smart person.

"In this way, before telling him to go to the frontier, he should come to the capital first," Li Hongyuan said with a smile, "give him the title of Imperial Merchant, so that he can do things well in the frontier."

Xiao Yu at the side heard it in his ears, and was completely dumbfounded.

What, it's that easy?

Back then, the Qiao family, the Shu family, and the Yang family were fighting for the status of the imperial merchants. They almost broke their heads and bribed everywhere.

Even if Bai Yuxin is powerful, there is only one person, can he compare with these big families?

Being awesome is awesome, and being lucky is really being lucky.

Someone on the side was envious and jealous, and said sourly: "This is not good, after all, he is a civilian in an important military place..."

Li Hongyuan laughed loudly: "Master Chen is joking, it is Bai Yuxin, not someone else, do you not trust him, or do you not trust Gu Mingzhou?"

Xiao Yu heard it in his ears, and immediately felt guilty, remembering the incident of being fooled by the two of them to the north and south, he couldn't help laughing along with him.

"Isn't that right, Mr. Chen, it's your fault. You just think it's Madam Gu who went to the military camp to take care of Mr. Gu. What's wrong? You can't treat him specially just because he brought a large amount of food, right?"

So under Li Hongyuan's partiality and Xiao Yu's guilty conscience, Bai Yuxin had the green light all the way, and after resting in the capital, he went straight to the border.

June, frontier.

An arrow feather came straight to Bai Yuxin's door, but Bai Yuxin couldn't dodge it in time. At this moment, a soft whip was thrown out from the stabbing, and the arrow was swept away.

"Throwing arrows indiscriminately will kill people, don't you know!"

Ye Shuyun raised her eyebrows coldly, but there was an indescribable brilliance.

Ye Xinglan on the side almost knelt down, trembling: "Don't, don't do anything! Military lords, we are really not bad people, we have an ultimatum!"

Seeing Bai Yuxin hand out the ultimatum, Ye Xinglan was on the verge of tears.

Come to the frontier, come to the frontier, it's none of his business, he doesn't want to come at all! !
