The third prince snatched the jug from Eighth Master's hand and poured himself a glass.

The pavilions in the garden are heated underground, and the surroundings of the pavilions are open, but they don't feel cold at all.

At this time, the vegetation in the garden has withered, and only a few pine trees near the rockery are still evergreen. The pavilion is near the water, and a newly built stone bridge can be seen not far away.

The stone bridge is very new, and it is a bit out of place compared with the whole garden. It used to be a wooden bridge, but the wooden bridge collapsed in the first half of the year. In order to prevent such accidents from happening again, the wooden bridge was changed to a stone bridge.

"How on earth did you offend the fourth family?" The third prince took a sip of the warm wine, feeling the chill in his lungs being forced out.

Now he can finally be sure that it's not his fault, it must be that Lao Ba has provoked An Jia's somewhere.

Ba Ye shook his head and smiled wryly, "Didn't the newspapers in the capital always report some bad news about the Japanese country? The Japanese were so anxious that they came to me. I guessed this matter with Fujin before." , I think it looks like the handwriting of the little sister-in-law next door. It's just our private guess. When the Japanese came to ask again, Fujin just interjected, and the result was..."

"Have you confessed to the fourth family next door?" Before Ba Ye could finish speaking, the third prince answered.

Eighth Master nodded.

The third prince immediately patted his head, well, now he understands how he offended the fourth family, this is simply a life and death enmity.

"I said, what do the eighth brothers and sisters think? We rely on An Jia's supplies to make money in these businesses. They don't need cash for the goods. Let's keep the accounts first and sell the silver before writing off the accounts. Originally, it was a mistake for us to hold this line and not allow the boats of the fourth family to run this route, but this time we offended her again, wouldn't we lose those sources of goods?"

Ba Ye smiled wryly, "I don't blame Fujin, the neighbor sent two women over a few days ago, they probably said something to make Fujin angry."

"You, you." The third prince pointed at him with trembling fingers. He spoiled the women at home, and he was able to do such things.

They are all sisters-in-law, so they should be the same to the outside world, but the old Bajia is good, with their elbows turned outward, who would dare to get close to her in the future?

But things have come out, and a good solution must be found.

"Then tell me, An Jia's will definitely not supply any more. We have to think of other ways. If this route cannot be maintained, An Jia's will definitely not miss it."

The third prince couldn't sit still when he thought of the boatload of money.

Before, they were cheeky and did not allow outsiders to intervene in this waterway, but this time they offended An Jia, and An Jia would definitely not care about their face. Her fleet is much larger than theirs. If they intervene, they will definitely not be able to compete with An Jia's for Japan's trade.

Ba Ye put down his wine glass and said, "Actually, this is also a good thing."

"A good thing?" The third prince abruptly put the wine glass on the table, "I'm in such a hurry, is it a good thing?"

Ba Ye looked at him, "I was thinking, did I rely too much on An Jia's for supply before? You see, they just cut off the supply point at the source, and we have to catch them blindly. If it wasn't this time, I don't know that we have been pinched by others all the time." A little stuck, let them make a mess.

The third prince then asked him, "Then tell me, what good solution do you have? In Qing Dynasty, where is the product cheaper than An Jia's, and we don't need to pay in advance?"

How can there be so many good things in this world?It's not just relying on the face of the fourth child.

Isn't the reason why An Jiashi didn't get involved in Dongyang's trade because he was worried about the fourth child?In addition, since the goods are shipped from her, she can also earn a share, so she didn't insist on participating in the Eastern trade.

This time, if she stops picking up the goods from her, there is no guarantee that the other party will not form a fleet to head to the East.

This was a dilemma, and the third prince didn't know what to do for a while, and what was even more unexpected was that their fleet was already in the palm of their hands.

Ba Ye smiled and said, "Third Brother, please don't worry about this. I have already discussed it with the Tokugawa family. Besides our fleet, other merchant ships will not be easy to dock."

This directly cut off the possibility of Anjia's business from another source.

When the third prince heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up to Ba Ye, "You have already found a good way to express feelings. If that's the case, then do as you said."

After the third prince left, Bafujin came to the pavilion in the garden. After she got on the pavilion, she was a little embarrassed and said: "Master, did I cause you trouble?"

Although she breathed a sigh of relief before, she was happy in her heart, but during this period of time, the master was too busy to help her clean up the mess, and she felt a little bit sorry.

She didn't expect that a few words would cost so much.

Ba Ye took her hand, asked her to sit beside him, patted her hand lightly and comforted him: "It's okay, this matter has come to an end, you don't have to worry about it." Speaking of this, the Eighth Prince again Said to Fujin, "Ama Khan is coming to Beijing soon, you should watch the mansion closely in the past two days, and don't let other people get caught."

Bafujin said softly, "Yes."

One day later, news came from outside the city that the emperor had passed the Great Wall and would soon enter Beijing.

Several princes hurried out of Beijing and rushed to Miyun to meet him.

"My son, see Khan Ama!"

The emperor smiled heartily, "Qika."

Seeing that the crown prince was not around the emperor, the princes were puzzled, but they didn't ask at this time.

After stepping back and following the emperor to set off, he asked the little elder brother who was accompanying him to ask.

"Fourteenth brother, why didn't you see the prince today?"

The Ninth Prince rode up to the Fourteenth Prince and asked, and now the several princes on horseback approached intentionally or unintentionally.

The fourteenth prince said carelessly, "The prince is ill, and he is recuperating in the carriage behind. Khan Ama told us not to disturb him." The princes who heard this were thoughtful.

Fourth master also lowered his eyes.

If the prince is really sick, then he should be kept in Rehe to recuperate.

A group of people had different thoughts, and they didn't say anything during the rest of the journey, but followed Shengjia back to Beijing.

After entering Beijing, the emperor returned to the palace.

With the emperor, the court is truly mastered.

Even Minning who lived in the corner of the imperial city felt that the atmosphere in the capital was different, and the whole capital seemed to come alive.

Coupled with the fact that there are still two months to go before the Chinese New Year, the atmosphere becomes even more festive.

It rained the next day, and Minning sat in the study, watching the gloomy sky outside and waiting.

As soon as the emperor returned to the palace, the fourth master was about to go to court. Minning had already received the news that the emperor would give a speech at the court after returning to Beijing.

That's about opening up trade with the East.

Don't think that she doesn't know that the Eighth Prince has made an agreement with the Japanese. Japan does not allow other merchant ships to dock. The reason why Minning did not act is because in her opinion, the agreement between the Eighth Prince and the Japanese is fundamental. It doesn't count.

The emperor is about to open up the merchant ship trade in the East. In the future, not only the eighth prince, but also the third prince can run business openly, and even those princes, ministers, and court officials can participate in it.

The Japanese have no rights at all.

This is not without benefits for the Japanese, and can promote Japan's commercial prosperity.

But this is actually a conspiracy wrapped in honey. Honey not only attracts the Japanese, but also attracts the entire upper class of the Qing Dynasty.

As long as they have tasted the sweetness, those princes and ministers will naturally find that Japan is a piece of fat on their lips. How can it not attract covetousness?

And in this matter, neither the Eighth Prince nor the Japanese had room to speak.

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, the Eighth Prince's plan was in vain.

This was Minning's most ruthless move. She did not personally participate in the voyage to the East, but instead pulled the entire court into it.

It is absolutely impossible for the Eighth Prince and the Third Prince to eat alone.

At that time, the third prince and the eighth prince don't want to hand over the route, so they have to.

The emperor wanted to swallow the whole of Japan, so there was no room for his son to block the way.

Especially the emperor is now on guard against the prince, even if the prince is sick, he has to be with him, for fear that he will lose his sight and give the prince a chance to rebel.

The emperor finally got old and began to fear his son.

Not only afraid of the prince, but even all grown-up sons.

What's more, the third prince and the eighth master earned too much money, even if Minning didn't move, the emperor would not let them continue to earn.

What are you doing with so much money?Could it be that he wants to recruit troops to overthrow Lao Tzu's throne?

Maybe the princes didn't think about it that way, but it's not certain that the emperor didn't have this thought in his mind.

The emperor was old and not as young and strong as before, so he was naturally worried that his son would drive him off the throne.The scene of pampering the prince like in previous years is no longer there.

Minning let out a sigh, and then put this thought of crying for a mouse behind him.

As soon as fourth master returned to the mansion, he hid in the outer study alone.

After Minning heard the news, he rushed over, but was stopped by Su Peisheng as soon as he reached the door.

"Master An, I'm discussing things inside, you should come back later."

As soon as Minning heard it, he knew that the fourth master must be discussing something with his disciples, and at this moment, the door of the study was opened.

Three or five people came out of the study room, saluted after seeing Min Minning, and retreated after saluting.

Fourth master stood in front of the study door and waved to Minning.

Now Su Peisheng didn't dare to stop him, and just stepped out of the way.

Minning walked into the study, where the brazier was burning, but the earth dragon was not lit.

Fourth master was standing behind the desk writing, and quickly wrote two words on the paper, "navigation".

Minning instantly understood the meaning of his words, but did not ask directly.

"Master, let me grind ink for you." She stood by the table and said courteously.

Fourth master didn't say anything, changed a piece of paper and continued to practice calligraphy.

While studying the ink, Minning was thinking about how to speak.

The fourth master on the side glanced at her inadvertently, seeing that she wasn't paying attention to the ink, he coughed lightly, "The ink has spilled out."

Minning came back to her senses and looked down. No, there was quite a lot of ink. When she rubbed it, more ink came out. It had covered the inkstone and flowed onto the table.

Minning hurriedly took a piece of paper from the side and wiped off the ink. When he wiped halfway through, he realized that this piece of paper was exactly the one written by Fourth Master just now.

After doing something stupid, she didn't know how to let go of her hands and feet for a while.

Fourth master sighed, put down his pen and pulled her to the basin shelf beside him, helped her wash off the ink stains on her hands, and then pulled her to sit down on the couch in the study.

"Tell me, what's the purpose of coming here to find Master."

Minning glanced at him and asked a question in a low voice.

"Master, what did you talk about this morning?"

Fourth master glanced at her, "Don't you know what we talked about?" When he was in court, Zhang Tingyu leaned over to him and said something, fulfilling his mission.

Who else can I tell this sentence to, and only An Jia has the ability to make Zhang Tingyu move.

Don't think he doesn't know that Zhang Tingyu has a younger brother who works under An Jia's, and another younger brother who is placed in a medical school outside the capital.

It must be when he didn't know that An Jia secretly told Zhang Tingyu to make Khan Ama encourage the court to participate in the trade with the East.

Khan Ama is not so easily influenced, there must be other things involved.

Minning laughed dryly, "Master, how did I know what you said?"

Fourth Master turned her face to face him, and asked in a deep voice, "Isn't Zhang Tingyu yours?"

Minning felt a little absurd, "Master, how is this possible? Oh, you are talking about this maritime trade, right? Zhang Tingyu just repaid our kindness for saving his brother. Don't think too much about it. How could I take Zhang Tingyu into my hands?" What's more, this is a genius taught by Zhang Ying, so how could he easily take refuge in her.

"Well, let me tell you, I exchanged this favor for Zhang Tingyu to mention the maritime trade on the emperor, but I didn't say anything else. It is the emperor's own decision to allow courtiers to participate in the maritime trade."

Immediately seeing Fourth Master's silence, Min Ning felt a little flustered, and continued: "Actually, people repay this kindness for the sake of Master's face. In the end, it's your Master's face that matters."

Just when Minning was in a panic, fourth master said, "Since you know that Khan Ama wants to allow officials to participate in maritime trade, then tell me what you think."

Minning breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My lord, in fact, not only officials can participate, but even the imperial court can participate. Isn't the national treasury empty now? The treasury can be filled with the money earned from maritime trade. The treasury has silver, those who The court officials who follow can also make money. Compared with the money obtained from corruption, everyone would like to be able to earn money cleanly. In the future, if you earn more money, you must not look down on the little money obtained from corruption. .”

It would be even better if there is more corruption, just slaughter the pig with a knife, and the pig should be fattened before killing.

The fourth master was noncommittal, "People's appetites will never be satisfied. Even if you make money in the nautical trade, those who should be corrupt will still be corrupt."

Now the Qing government has been gradually rotten, and it is impossible to cure it only by filling the appetite of those corrupt officials.

Fourth Master, who is in the household department, has a deep understanding of this point.

People's desires are unlimited, the more they get, the greater their appetite.Until one day, the appetite was so great that the imperial court couldn't bear it, and directly slashed it to fill the treasury.

"If you ask me, I shouldn't care about this matter. You think the emperor doesn't know about it. It's just that this matter involves too much. He just turned a blind eye to it."

The emperor is old, and he wants to be the king of the prosperous age. The treasury is short and the officials are rotten.

If you really want to move, you can uproot it long ago under the thunderbolt.

No one in this world can stop what the emperor wants to do.

Things like these will be handed over to the fourth master in the future. The fourth master has not been in power for as long as the emperor, and he has not yet secured the position of emperor. Isn't he eager to punish corrupt officials?

No, no one can stop him, so he can only use those pens to give fourth master the title of emperor who copied the family.

But if there is no fourth master to rescue, how can there be room for Qianlong's extravagance?The entire Qing Dynasty was already on the verge of an abyss at the end of Kangxi.

Under the prosperous age, it is difficult to hide hidden dangers.

"Forget it, it's not my turn to take care of this matter. The Dongyang trade issue has been handed over to my grandfather. Please tell me what regulations you have."

Minning was a little surprised. She didn't expect this right to be taken by the fourth master. The reason why she advocated the opening of trade in the East China Sea was to cover up the large number of merchant ships leaving the port next year.

Otherwise, so many ships are going to the East China Sea, but it is not easy to be discovered if they go to Japan. If there are many merchant ships in the East China Sea, no one will find out if there are dozens of ships missing.

"It's very easy. As long as you announce how much money the Third Prince and Ba Ye have earned in the past two years, I don't believe anyone will be tempted."

At that time, there will definitely be people who will hold on to fourth master, just to get on this boat.

"Won't this offend the third and eighth sons?" Fourth master pondered, then asked.

Min Ning snorted, "There is nothing wrong with offending them. They are the first to be unkind. Don't blame me for retaliation!"

Speaking of this, Minning said to the fourth master, "Master, you can stay in the mansion with peace of mind. I will take care of this matter, and you just wait for those people to come to the mansion to beg to participate in the Eastern trade. At that time we can start a company, the imperial court will take the majority, and other people will take as many shares as they pay, and at the end of each year, they will use the shares to divide the money."

Fourth Master nodded, "What is the company?"

Minning talked about the East India Company of the Westerners, and then said to Fourth Master, "If you don't know anything, you can ask those foreigners. Foreigners must know about it." Anyway, the East India Company is now prosperous, and it can be used Take that framework and use it, and add some local rules.

The fourth master nodded, "Okay, I will ask the foreigners in the capital about this matter, and I will sort out the paperwork and submit it to Han Ama."

While Minning was discussing with Fourth Master, the Eighth Master's house next door was not idle.

"What do you think we should do about this matter?" After the morning court, the third prince skipped work and came to Eighth Master's mansion to question him.

Ba Ye lost his calmness before, with a serious face, "I don't know why Khan Ama suddenly made this decision." It completely broke their previous arrangement.

"I came here to ask if you have any solutions?" The third prince slapped the table angrily, this time Khan Ama caught them by surprise.

Pull those princes, ministers, and court officials into the water, how can they make money?

The eighth master asked him in a deep voice, "Third brother, this is wrong! Khan Ama wants to open the Oriental trade, why didn't we get the news? Someone must have interfered."

The third prince reflexively looked to the west, and then he looked at Lao Ba again, "What do you mean?"

Ba Ye said meaningfully: "Third brother, think about who will benefit the most this time?"

The third prince shook his head immediately, "It can't be the fourth child." The surprised expression of the fourth child in the early court did not look fake at first glance.He can be sure that the fourth child is also the first to know this matter.

"I didn't say it was the fourth brother." Eighth Master said, "But don't forget, there is another capable person in the fourth brother's house."

"You mean Mrs. An Jia? How can she be so capable to influence Khan Ama?" The third prince still couldn't believe it.

Ba Ye said: "Although I have no evidence, my intuition tells me that this matter has nothing to do with the neighbor."

The third prince was speechless, relying on intuition?Intuition has a fart, can it be used as evidence?

He felt that instead of breaking up with the eighth child, it would be better to set up a favor with the fourth child. He knew the money earned from the maritime trade, and although he couldn't eat alone, it was better than being left alone.

Thinking of this, the third prince was impatient to stay longer in Lao Ba's mansion, so he just found an excuse to leave.

Ba Ye didn't know that the third prince wanted to break up with him, and he was still thinking about how to break up the siege.

Then he thought that there was still a group of chess pieces in the capital. Those Japanese people had stayed in the capital for half a year. Now that Khan Ama came back, it was time to use them.

The emperor hummed without answering.

Ba Ye took a peek at the emperor's face, saw that he didn't take it seriously, and continued to read the newspaper.Then he took a deep breath and continued to persuade, "Ama Khan, that group of people came to the Lifan Academy several times to hand over the papers and asked to see Ama Khan."

The Lifanyuan is an external institution, and the Lifanyuan is the place to rule the ethnic minorities and strengthen the connection between the ethnic minorities and the Qing Dynasty.

It also manages some national affairs, so although Japan has separated from the Qing Dynasty, if it wants to see the emperor, it still has to go through the Lifanyuan.

Seeing the emperor's silence, Ba Ye was a little anxious, "It's just a group of oriental villains. After Khan Ama approaches, he just dismisses them at will."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Yinhu, you are bold, when will I need you to control how I should act?"

Eighth Master immediately knelt on the ground, sweating coldly, "It's my son's overstepping, please forgive Khan Ama."

The emperor didn't say a word, and let the eight sons kneel.

The old man became more and more daring, relying on earning some money to be good at dancing, being complimented by those ministers, his whole temper became arrogant, and he dared to follow him.

As if struck by lightning, Ba Ye knelt on the ground and trembled.

The emperor quietly flipped through the newspaper, checking what happened frequently during this period?

He frowned when he saw those ministers receiving the women sent by the Japanese.

However, after leaving for less than a year, something like this happened in the entire capital. The Waren Kingdom is really the heart of a wolf, using women to corrupt the ministers of the court.

He saw that what the newspaper said was right, the Waren Kingdom was originally a capricious villain, and it was posted at this time with absolutely malicious intentions.

As for the ministers and sons who received women, the emperor recorded them one by one.If you can't pass the level of female sex, how dare the emperor reuse it?

Seeing that his four sons coldly rejected the woman from the Japanese kingdom, the emperor felt a little satisfied, but she was a mere barbarian daughter, so she was not worthy of being a royal descendant.

"Khan Ama, it's my minister who overstepped, please punish Khan Ama!"

After kneeling for half an hour, Ba Ye saw that the emperor still didn't speak. At this time, he no longer had any ambitions in his mind, and only wanted to get through this difficulty first!

Then the emperor put down the newspaper and said slowly, "I heard that you earned a lot of money from the Japanese. It happened that there was a severe drought in Shanxi last year, and the imperial court's relief was only a drop in the bucket. What do you think?"

what idea?Don't you just want him to donate the money?This has been said so clearly, what else can Eighth Master do?

He gritted his teeth, "Son...is willing to donate all the money he earns!" Just make money again when the money is gone, but this time the punishment probably means that many ministers have to leave him. Obviously, he can't see him forming a party for selfish reasons, those people are naturally interested.

The emperor smiled heartily, got up and walked down to help her up with his own hands, "Yinhu has the heart of a benevolent person, I am very relieved, and I don't have to hand over all of it, I have to keep some for my family."

Ba Ye knelt down again, "Thank you, Ama, for not blaming me."

The emperor patted him on the shoulder to make him stand up, and then said: "Yinhu, I order you to assist Yinzhen in coordinating the East Ocean trade. If there is any matter, I need to discuss it with your fourth brother."

Ba Ye was overjoyed, he didn't spend a lot of money in vain, and he got such a good job.

It's a lucrative job to manage Dongyang trade, but it's an opportunity to make good friends with the clan. The fourth child will only keep a cold face, and how can he lower his head to win over these people.

The emperor couldn't hide the joy on Lao Ba's face, and he was also happy in his heart. He slapped him and then gave him a date, which disintegrated Lao Ba's desire to seize the heir. How could he not be happy.

Among the several princes, he was the least likely to consider Lao Ba. It would be a slap in the face for a son of Xin Zheku to ascend to the throne.

In order to prevent him from thinking about it, it is better to dispel his thoughts from the very beginning.

The emperor changed his mind, and then turned to the other princes. Now Shi 34 has grown up and has his own thoughts. The emperor can't see it, but these two sons are too young to be the opponents of the brothers. , Turning back and bumping into a wall will naturally shrink back.

The emperor still put his mind on the elder sons. During the time he was away from the capital, the elder sons obviously moved frequently. Probably only the fourth son did not move his mind and focused on reciting Buddha.Compared with the other brothers, this is simply a clear stream.

The emperor couldn't help being relieved, it's better to be the fourth brother, he didn't think about the seat under his old father, and handing over the East China Sea trade to the fourth child was also a reward for him.

It is a good thing to recite the Buddha's name, but he can't really become a monk, and he has to add more burdens, lest he concentrate on the Buddhist scriptures and have the idea of ​​forgetting the world of mortals.

After Fourth Master heard about the company Minning mentioned, he quickly got busy, pulling foreigners to inquire all day long.

The East India Company is well-known in the ears of Westerners. It has lasted for more than 100 years and is still a major trading company between the East and the West.

It can be said that most of the Western ships that traded with the Qing Dynasty belonged to the East India Company.

However, Minning didn't know much about the East India Company, so he didn't know that it was a joint company, that is, several companies joined together to form the East India Company.

Fourth master was keenly aware of this situation, didn't he think this was in line with the current situation of the Qing Dynasty?

It is entirely possible for the imperial court to form a company, other clan members to form a company, ministers to form a company, and then recruit some businessmen from the people to form a company.

The reason why I joined the businessman is because the business is still handled by the businessman, and the court and other companies are just waiting to collect money.

Moreover, this is not considered to be robbing the people for profit. Even if it is robbing, the robbing is foreign money, which will not affect the people of the Qing Dynasty.

It's called the East India Company, and Fourth Master thinks it should be named as well.

So fourth master turned to the book again, this time not naming the child, but naming the company.

Minning brought over a cup of mutton bone soup. During this period of time, Fourth Master was not at home, and it was freezing outside. There was always mutton bone soup in the kitchen, just for his body to keep out the cold.

"Why did you bring it here?" Fourth Master was a little surprised to see Minning carrying the familiar food box. Didn't Su Peisheng go to pick it up on weekdays?

Minning put the food box on the table with a smile, lifted the lid, and took out the mutton bone soup inside. The pure white mutton bone soup was very fresh when cooked with fish.

Put some vermicelli, bean cakes, bean sprouts, green vegetable leaves, and mutton slices into a bowl of mutton vermicelli soup.

Fourth Master likes to eat this way very much, it's better than drinking white soup, and with a few pieces of crispy scones, it's very satisfying to eat warm in winter.

There is not only mutton soup in the food box, but also several plates of cold mutton and haggis.

Mix it with red oil and eat it with mutton soup, which is very comfortable.

"You don't have to run here in this cold weather." After eating, the fourth master wiped his mouth and said to Minning.

Minning smiled, she deliberately took the life from Su Peisheng, just to find an excuse to come here.

After eating, Su Peisheng's eyes were sharp, and he immediately summoned the little eunuch to clean up the table!

Sitting comfortably on the couch, Fourth Master, Minning pinched his head and asked, "Master, what have you been up to these days?"

The fourth master closed his eyes and said, "I've figured out the company you mentioned earlier, and I'm planning to think of a good name." He pointed to the desk, "You can give me a reference on what to call it. "

After hearing this, Minning let go of his hands, took the handkerchief that was put aside, wiped his hands, and walked to the desk.

The entire paper is covered with ink, writing and drawing, and there are only two names in total.

"Donghai United Company, Daqing Trading Company?"

The fourth master who was sitting on the couch nodded, "I only came up with these two names at the moment, and I learned them from those foreigners. Hey, it's okay to name a child, but it's the first time to name this company. Help me to see which of these two is better."

Minning thought that neither of these two names was very good.

"Both are fine, why not take them to the emperor to have a look, if the emperor is not satisfied, the emperor can take it."

The fourth master immediately opened his eyes, clapped his hands and said, "You're right, I haven't told Han Ama about the company, it's too early to name it." He immediately got up and started to change A pair of rubber-soled riding boots. "I'm going to report it to Khan Ama."

"Master, it's still raining outside, we'd better wait until the rain stops before we go to Changchun Garden." Minning persuaded her.

Yesterday the emperor was impatient to stay in the palace, so he went to the Changchun Garden again.

Fourth Master put on thick clothes, "It's okay, it's not raining too much outside, I'll go there in a carriage."

There was a carriage in the house, which belonged exclusively to Minning. The wheels were made of rubber with springs, and they did not bump at all. They were much faster than those carriages with wooden wheels.

The same carriage can only be bought at a high price in the capital, and the popularity rate is not high.

It’s not that Minning doesn’t want to promote rubber, it’s just that it’s a bit troublesome to get Eucommia gum. Today’s Eucommia gum can only be used to make rubber shoes and shoe soles. It’s too wasteful to use it for carriage wheels, and Eucommia gum is not wear-resistant. , direct promotion of rubber.

Minning couldn't persuade him, and could only watch him rush into the rain with the umbrella she brought over.

"My lord, Sibeile is seeking an audience outside."

Ambergris was lit in the study, and the emperor sat on the couch by the window, reading a book, and listening to the sound of the rain hitting the glass window outside.

Liang Jiugong walked in carefully and whispered to the emperor.

The emperor put down his book and looked up at him, "Is the fourth brother here? What's the time?" The emperor glanced at the glass again. The rain outside the window was gradually increasing, and the trees were blowing up and down, and he said to Liang Jiugong, "Hurry up and get the old man Four shouted to come in."

When fourth master entered the door, he was already trembling from the cold, his lips were turning purple, the emperor felt a little distressed and hurriedly asked her to take her to the next door to take a hot bath.

When fourth master finished washing and put on clean clothes and went into the study, the emperor was already sitting at the table drinking tea and beckoning him to go over.

"Fourth, come to me at this time, what's the matter?"

Fourth master knelt down to pay respects to the emperor, and the emperor asked him to sit down and said.

After fourth master sat down carefully, he took out a booklet and handed it over.

"Khan Ama, my son has something to report about the trade in the East China Sea."

The emperor took the notebook, opened it and looked at it.

A court lady brought a bowl of ginger tea to the fourth master, and the fourth master was very touched. From this look, he knew that Khan Ama had prepared it for him.

The emperor read this booklet for a long time, and after reading it, he glanced at the restless fourth master, and asked, "Is this An Jia's idea for you again?"
