Chapter 15 The Black-bellied King's Peerless Queen

Cheng Yu sat at the table and ate breakfast on his own, from the time Wei Yan came out to when he sat down, he didn't even have to look at him.

"My lord, I've already had my breakfast. I will officially join the job tomorrow, and I still have a lot of historical materials to read, so I won't bother you for now." Cheng Yu said in a flat tone, and resumed his previous alienated attitude.

Wei Yan still had the vegetables in his arms and didn't react, so Cheng Yu went inside and closed the door.I blinked innocently, what's the matter, and issued the order to evict the guest properly.

He has a bit of a temper, so let him get sulky slowly, he won't wait.After eating and drinking enough, and wiping his mouth clean, Wei Yan patted his ass and left.

Cheng Yu held the book in the room for a long time but didn't read it. He was so angry that he didn't want to see Wei Yan, so he said that and hid in the room.He didn't know why he was angry, anyway, he was angry.

With a book in his hand, his eyes kept staring at the door, hoping to see a certain figure appear.In the end, I still looked down at the book a little dejectedly. It had been almost two hours, and there was no sign of it coming.

Cough!

I've read the book for two hours, and it's time to relax.If the eyes are broken, the gain outweighs the loss.Cheng Yu put down the book in his hand that he hadn't turned a page for two hours, walked out of the yard, and wandered in the garden.

The servants who came and went around greeted him and left in a hurry. Seeing that No. 18 was about to leave, Cheng Yu finally stopped him.

"Where's your prince?"

"My lord? My lord went out after breakfast and probably hasn't come back yet."

So he was angry in the house for so long, the culprit had long since disappeared, and Cheng Yu tried his best to make his expression less distorted.

"Mr. Cheng, is there anything else?" The servant asked a little cautiously, not knowing that his words had offended the other party.

"No more, let's go." Cheng Yu shook his head, watched the servants leave, and returned to the yard by himself.

Yesterday, Wei Yan went out to wander around to see his business, and then waited until dark before returning home.Since there was still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow morning, I took a break early.

But even so, Wei Yan still felt sleepy when he got up before dawn.But compared to other courtiers, he was lucky, his carriage could enter the palace directly, and he could sleep for a while longer.

Standing outside the gate of the palace with a group of courtiers, waiting to be summoned to enter, Wei Yan found a pillar to rest on, regardless of his appearance.The surrounding courtiers glanced at him from time to time, and Wei Yan could guess what they were talking about.But he didn't bother to care about it, let them guess.

"Tired?"

"Hmm." Wei Yan squinted his eyes in a drowsy state, and suddenly heard a voice, and responded subconsciously.

However, in the next moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. None of the officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew him, so who would come to talk to him.Sure enough, when he opened his eyes, he saw the regent standing in front of him.

Although he still looks expressionless, his eyes don't seem to be so cold.But Wei Yan didn't know if he saw this subtle difference, or maybe it was just his own illusion.

"Thank you, my lord, for asking for an official position for me. I am very grateful, and I will definitely live up to my expectations." After thinking about it, it seems that I can only talk about the scene.Otherwise, it would be a bit embarrassing for the two of them to stare at each other face to face.

"Do you know what they're talking about?" The regent didn't answer his words, but turned his attention to the officials who were grouped together in twos and threes.

"Uh, I'm guessing the relationship between the prince and me, guessing why the prince wants to help me." Wei Yan said without hesitation.

"No." Yuan Shu raised the corners of his mouth and shook his head.

"Huh?" Wei Yan was at a loss.

"Be careful next time." Yuan Shu suddenly reached out and touched Wei Yan's neck, but put it down quickly.Looking at the eunuch who had come out to summon him, he walked into the palace.

Wei Yan still couldn't figure out why Yuan Shu was touching his neck.Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, Wei Yan thought of a possibility and couldn't help but curse.

"Damn, maybe yesterday left traces!"

Wei Yan was not mistaken, it was indeed the trace left by yesterday.But it wasn't obvious, the collar covered most of it, only a little bit was exposed, and if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't see it at all.

As for what Yuan Shu said, all the officials around him were talking about the marks on his neck, it was all nonsense.Up to now, only Yuan Shu has noticed it.

But Wei Yan didn't know, and he didn't carry a mirror with him, how could he know what was going on with his neck.He could only pull up his collar vigorously in order to try his best to block those traces.

Entering the main hall, Wei Yan was almost at the end of the rank, while the regent Yuan Shu stood at the front and formed a row alone.Now Wei Yan is not very worried, who can see him standing so far behind.

"If you have something to play, leave the court if you have nothing to do!" After kneeling down and bowing to Long Live, the eunuch next to the emperor came out and said sharply.

"I have something to say." The regent was the first to stand up again.

Wei Yan looked at the back of the frontmost figure, and couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. Could it be that he was looking for trouble from the beginning, so violent?

"Zunzuo." The emperor answered Yuan Shu's words, but turned his attention to Wei Yan behind him.What his imperial nephew did recently was an eye-opener for him. No wonder the regent has noticed it. It seems that he has to arrange someone to keep an eye on this imperial nephew's movements.

"Returning to the emperor, when I was fighting in the frontier, I heard that there are many treasures that our country does not have. Now that the people have started small-scale trade with overseas, I think that the imperial court should carry out large-scale official overseas trade and enter overseas markets to fill the treasury. , strengthen our country’s prestige. Not only that, but also take the opportunity to spy on the enemy’s situation and understand the national strength of overseas countries.”

"Aiqing's words are justified, and overseas trade should indeed be developed, but who should be responsible for this matter." In the court, Wei Xiujie rarely refuted Yuan Shu.Although it was more because he was just a puppet emperor without real power, it was also because the two had mostly the same political views.

If Yuan Shu can be his courtier peacefully, it must be a good story of harmony between the monarch and his ministers.But Yuan Shu wanted to spy on something that shouldn't belong to him, and it was doomed that one of the two would eventually become a loser.

"It's not just a question of who is in charge. There is no department in the six ministries that is in charge of trade. The minister believes that a new department should be created directly under the central government to be in charge of maritime trade, separate from other departments, and the revenue should be directly handed over to the treasury.

And our shipbuilding technology is not very developed now, and the boats we make are hard to beat the wind and waves.You can only go to a country that is not far away, and the boat cannot withstand the storm at sea if the distance is far away.Moreover, the boat is too small, and there are not many things that can be carried back and forth, which is not conducive to long-term development. "Yuan Shu said clearly.

Wei Yan couldn't help but marvel, wasn't this Yuan Shu a general of soldiers and horses before?In this prosperous age of peace and prosperity, it is really a long-term vision to see overseas countries early and to develop overseas trade.

"Then set up a foreign trade department, and let the Ministry of Industry study shipbuilding technology. Ai Qing, you think it's feasible."

It has become a common practice for the household department in charge of various taxes among the six departments to fill their own pockets, and it has reached the point where they will turn a blind eye as long as they don't go too far. The foreign trade department must be directly under the central management.

"Your Majesty is wise, in addition, I suggest that the study of shipbuilding technology should be entrusted to Cheng Wang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and some people will be assigned to both the Department of Foreign Trade and the Ministry of Industry." After a long detour, Yuan Shu finally revealed his real purpose.

Perhaps because of the reason he had already guessed, Wei Yan was not surprised when he heard him, and was very calm.But this is not a bad thing, just because he is also worried that the small boat carries too little cargo and cannot make much money, but because he has no one under his command, he can't build a big boat.Now the regent has assigned someone to him to make him troublesome, and also let him belong to the Department of Foreign Trade.In other words, in the future, your own small caravan can follow behind the imperial team, which is much safer than fighting alone.

"allow."

-

The Department of Foreign Trade said it was affiliated to the central government and would not be interfered by the six ministries, but that was actually what the regent meant.He alone is responsible for the appointment of the officials below, and even the emperor cannot interfere.Wei Yan also counted as half of the Prince Regent's subordinates, and because the main task now is to study shipbuilding technology, the main position is still the Department of Foreign Trade.

Wei Yan thought about it carefully, and found that the regent had put so much effort into turning himself into his direct subordinate.It was also mentioned in the novel of the Department of Foreign Trade that the development was good, although in the end it was taken over by the male lead.Of course, in the novel, the Foreign Trade Department has nothing to do with Wei Yan at all.

After the morning court, Wei Yan went to the Ministry of Industry. The minister of the Ministry of Industry seemed to be a member of the regent, so he found a group of people who were good at shipbuilding for him.However, the Department of Foreign Trade has not yet been formally established, and Wei Yan is currently supervising and researching shipbuilding at the Ministry of Industry.

When Wei Yan returned to the palace, the first thing he did was to look in the mirror, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he found that the marks on his neck were not so obvious.God knows how hard he spent the day pretending nothing had happened.

Tomorrow he asked the regent to take a day off because his task object and companion got married.Unsurprisingly, Sun Shan lost his name, and he was urged to get married quickly before he had time to be sad for a few days.Everything is ready for the two families, just waiting for people to be in place.As a result, He Ze began to fall into the joy and excitement of getting married regardless of the sadness.

Wei Yan planned to arrange for He Ze to take care of his own business after He Ze got married.He is now working every day, and he can't bring people with him.Moreover, in a few days, he may have to see the regent every day, and it is too dangerous to bring the task object with him.It is more appropriate to let him take care of the business, as long as he does not go to sea, there will be no danger.
