=====================

The slightly embarrassing meal ended, and the palace people brought two glasses of drinks for the two of them while cleaning up the room.

Yi An looked at the caramel-colored drink in a transparent glass cup in front of him, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Milk tea." Su Xun picked up the cup of milk tea, "My lord, you can try it."

After Yi An picked up the cup, he was first surprised by the purity of the glass cup. He knew that Yu Chao was good at making all kinds of glazed products, which were crystal clear without any speckle. They are far more than those that the Yi family supplies to the Mongolian palace every year.

It is worthy of being called the Yu Dynasty full of gold by the merchants.

Yi An held the cup and took a sip of the milk tea in the cup. Immediately, the burnt sugar, mellow milk and tea aroma mixed together, bringing a comfortable low temperature into the abdomen, taking away the heat of summer.He was overwhelmed by the taste of the drink almost immediately, and took a few more sips.

When he took the second sip, he found that there were some spherical solids floating in the milk tea, some of which were more springy, as if they were made of glutinous rice flour, while others had a gelatinous texture, like the ones he had eaten in the south. A kind of ice powder.

"It tastes good." Yi An put the half-empty glass on the table, and Xiao Buwen turned around and refilled it for him.

He was a little embarrassed and a little flattered. With Xiao Buwen's identity, the only person who could keep him busy and serve him was probably the emperor in front of him.

Yi An recalled how Xiao Buwen prepared dishes for His Majesty at that time, and he could only say that the pair of master and servant really had a deep affection. Eunuch Xiao didn’t need to use this method to consolidate his status, but he still kept Su Xun’s preferences Remember clearly.

He took another sip of the milk tea, and at the same time saw the little emperor in front of him drinking the milk tea in small sips with both hands, the cup was steaming hot, and the little emperor's upturned nose was stained a little red point.

Um?He shook the glass suspiciously, and the ice cubes collided against the wall of the glass, making a crisp sound.

Xiao Buwen: "Your Majesty's body is cold, and the Tai Hospital specifically ordered not to be greedy for cold."

So this cup of iced milk tea is specially prepared for him?

Su Xun looked at Yi An who was surprised, and said with a smile, "The visitor is a guest. It's more comfortable to drink iced milk tea in summer."

"It's a pity that the hospital and Eunuch Xiao are watching closely. I can't bear it today."

It seems that it is not his illusion, Yi An thought to himself, the relationship between the emperor Yu Chao and Xiao Buwen is much closer than he imagined, more like...friends than master and servant or monarchs?

Yi An is not sure, but a master and servant can indeed become friends. His uncle has a servant who has served him for most of his life. The relationship between the two is very good, and even he respects that servant when he sees him.But he felt that the relationship between Su Xun and Xiao Buwen was far more complicated than the relationship between his uncle and his servant.

Xiao Buwen is by no means a servant who is loved by his master. He is born rebellious and quite ambitious. In the early stage of his career, he will be an excellent sharp blade to expand your territory, but soon, this sharp blade will bite back Master, become the most dangerous enemy around you.It is undoubtedly very risky to use this kind of person, he is like a flame on dry grass in autumn, it only needs a little breeze to ignite, turn into a raging flame, and burn everything in sight.

The so-called Asuka Jinbangzang mostly refers to such a person, both sides are hurting is already the best result, and it is not uncommon to even burn jade and stone together.But Yi An noticed something deviated from his cognition, obviously Xiao Buwen and Su Xun, master and servant, were in a very strange state of balance.

Not only Xiao Buwen, but the prime minister of the Yu Dynasty, Murong Che, actually surprised the most.

When everyone thought that the Murong family was ambitious and showed signs of coercing the emperor to order the officials, Murong Che was able to provide support for Su Xun when he killed the family, and when Su Xun held a literary meeting to leverage the interests of the family. Suppressing the opposition of Murong and his supporters allowed the Wenhui to proceed smoothly, which undoubtedly surprised the people in the Mongolian court who wanted to see a joke.

Yi An glanced at Xiao Buwen and Su Xun calmly, knowing that this was probably one of the reasons why his brother specially asked him to come to Yu in person.

It's a pity that at the beginning, there was an excellent opportunity to inquire about the situation at the Dachaohui, but in the end, that reckless man Qu Zhuo refused to send an envoy, a child who acted like a playboy, which really made Yi Shu, who was in the courtroom, Annoyed for a while.

Looking at Su Xun who was smiling with a warm face, and thinking about the tyrannical Qu Zhuo in Meng Dynasty, Yi An couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"I heard that the young master lived in the farmhouse a few days ago. The young master is the owner of the Yi's business. Why didn't he contact the various chambers of commerce after entering Sui, but went to enjoy the fun of the countryside alone?"

Su Xun asked curiously, Yi An also knew long ago that his whereabouts might have been found out, so he said truthfully: "I came to Sui last year to check on the property. Go to the wind pavilion built by His Majesty for a visit or two.”

"At the beginning, the people on the street were all dressed in rough kudzu clothes, and looked haggard. But when I visited Yu again a year later, I found that the people in Suiyang City were wearing new clothes and their faces were rosy."

He paused: "More importantly, their eyes are no longer numb and restless, but more agile."

"That's why the young master wants to go to the farmhouse to have a look. What is the reason for this change?"

"It's abrupt."

"Actually, what young master is most curious about is neither their new clothes nor their rosy complexion." Su Xun pointed out sharply, "What young master is really curious about is the change in their eyes."

"In just one year, the eyes of the people can change from gray to lively, from numb to full of vitality. That's one reason, because they are here and see hope."

"hope?"

"The Mongol Dynasty imitated the Yu Dynasty and also set up factories in the city. The price of cloth fell by nearly half, but did the lives of the people get better?"

When Yi An heard Su Xun's words, he was ashamed and wanted to hide his face for a moment.

But Su Xun didn't seem to want to laugh at Meng Chao because of this, but said very seriously: "Young master should know that since the establishment of the garment factory, I have deliberately curbed its development scale, and there are only a dozen or so cities in it. Established, why is this?"

It's impossible for Yi Anneng to be the talker of Yi's firm, his IQ is not high, and he quickly realized: "Your Majesty is worried that the cheap rice will hurt the farmers?"

He could see that Su Xun really wanted to solve his doubts, so he asked honestly: "But Mengchao also controls the price of cloth and clothes."

"What do you think I set up the factory for?"

If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that I will answer questions such as making money and taxation right away, but Yi Ando thought a few more steps and thought of the trade between the Yu Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions: "Your Majesty wants to use this to open a trade route and pay food from the countries in the Western Regions." ? To exchange the riches of the two countries and make up for the deficiencies of the two countries?"

Su Xun glanced at Yi An approvingly. In this era, it is not easy to see this.

"Not only that, business is like water, once it flows, it will nourish all things." Su Xun said, "Take clothing materials as an example. To start a garment factory, you first need three things, raw materials, machines and workers. "

"So before a garment factory is set up, three kinds of people are given a way to live, the farmers who grow hemp, the carpenters and blacksmiths who work, and the workers who work in the garment factory."

"And after the ready-made clothes come out, it will promote the prosperity of the chamber of commerce, tie-dye and other industries." Su Xun said, "After these people have wealth in their families, they will naturally choose to buy new clothes, thereby driving more orders for ready-made clothes. will make more money."

"Like a ring connected end to end."

"Yes, like a ring end to end."

"In the garment factories built in the Mongolian Dynasty, the raw materials came from the aristocratic families, the workers were tenant farmers in the slack season, and the products produced were directly sold by the facades in the hands of the aristocratic families. The common people failed to profit from these factories from beginning to end, so No matter how cheap the price is, it’s hard to sell.”

Yi An understands that the factory of Yu Dynasty is like a small stream, flowing from the beginning to the end, nourishing the fields on both sides of the stream, and the fields will also nourish the stream, making it clear and transparent.However, the approach of the Meng Dynasty is more like cutting off the creek. At first glance, it is true that they have made more profits, but without the stream, the fields on both sides will dry up, and without the fields, they will be cut off. Even the stream of the river will soon become a stagnant pool.

"I see."

Yi An nodded as if taught: "Then how does His Majesty profit? By taxation?"

"Profit?" Su Xun chuckled, "Could it be that only the silver that enters the treasury belongs to me? You have to know that I am the Son of Heaven, and the world in the Yu Dynasty belongs to me, and so do all the people in the world." It belongs to me. Could it be that the son’s father thinks that the Yi family will only make a profit if all the money earned by the son is confiscated?”

After Yi An heard Su Xun's words, his pupils shrank suddenly, as if he had realized something about his heart beating violently.

But Su Xun didn't expect to wait for him to calm down, instead he threw down the bullet again: "Hiding wealth in the people, the country is strong and the people are rich. My treasury is the king's land in this world, not that small warehouse."

Yi An felt that his lips were trembling, he couldn't describe his mood at this moment, he just felt that all his thoughts were so small in front of such an emperor's heart.

"So it's not that His Majesty can't stop Meng Chao from stealing the blueprints from Yu Chao's factory..." He finally understood, "It's His Majesty who let it go."

He raised his head and looked at the young emperor in front of him who was as delicate as the person in the painting: "Is there no king in the world, and the king's minister on the shore of the land."

"The territory in His Majesty's eyes includes the Mongolian Dynasty."

"Your Majesty regards the Mongolian Dynasty as a king treats his ministers, so His Majesty let it go, and is even happy to see the Mongolian Dynasty develop the people's livelihood." Yi An said in a firm tone that he couldn't believe it.What kind of pride is this to have such a vision?

"As for the monarchs and ministers of the Mongolian Dynasty, what they did was to help His Majesty support the people."

"As long as you can become the final winner of this battle for hegemony, the fruitful fruits that the Meng Dynasty has carefully watered for several years will eventually become His Majesty's pocket."

[The author has something to say: Don’t worry, the little emperor will not suffer. The factories established by the Meng Dynasty and the business routes developed by the Mongolian Dynasty will become his when Su Xun becomes the winner. Busy.

This guy is waiting to pick the fruit by himself]
