Number of romantic figures

Chapter 541 T-roll lures and anti-tours
Somewhat impolitely looked him up and down, Feng Ziying didn't have any extra words, and said directly: "Your Majesty, are you asking for His Majesty, or for yourself?"

"Oh?" King Zhongshun became interested after being startled, "So what if I ask for the emperor's brother, so what if I ask for myself?"

"If you ask for the emperor, I have told the emperor before. How to do it and what strategy to use depends on the emperor. If the prince asks for himself, it is also simple. It depends on what the prince wants."

Feng Ziying became more relaxed and at ease, and even took a sip from her teacup.

King Zhongshun's long and narrow eyes flickered, and he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

This guy's rhetorical question made him dare not speak easily.

The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose his king, and the same is true for choosing partners.

King Zhongshun thought he was qualified to join in, but he didn't think he was the only one to choose.

Feng Ziying is in full swing now, and there are so many people who want to get involved, even the emperor is still thinking about how to get involved.

It's not that Brother Huang is not qualified, but that Brother Huang has too many things to worry about.

Similarly, King Zhongshun had ideas, but he also had concerns.

He is now highly valued by the emperor's brother, and even some important and secret affairs are entrusted to him to participate in the handling, but he is prepared for danger in times of peace, King Zhongshun is very clear about the royal affairs, the Tian family has no kindness, even if there is, he will never delay him body.

King Zhongshun is also very aware of Brother Huang's body. It looks pretty good now, but his body is weak inside. Brother Huang himself is also very clear, so now he pays great attention to maintenance.

Once the emperor's brother passed away, no matter which of his nephews took over the position, he would probably not value and favor his lineage as much as the emperor's brother now values ​​him.

Besides, I have thirteen sons, four daughters, and seven underage sons. Thinking of this, King Zhongshun himself feels worried. His sons and sons are all sons. If he loses power in the future, how will he live this day?
The thirteen sons are the eldest sons who can inherit the family business, what about the other twelve sons?
Especially the sons born to a few concubines, the wind is already blowing on the pillows, and they are nagging in their ears all day long, asking to buy some property for them, otherwise in the future, they will really only have to guard it every year. The little bit of entitlement issued by the clan's mansion will go to the northwest wind?

Look at my cousins, that is, the sons of my father's brothers, how many of them can still act like human beings now?Many of them have been reduced to selling Zhuangzi and selling houses to make a living.

At the end of each year, many people even go to the clan's mansion or the palace to cry for poverty and ask for some rewards, otherwise they will not be able to celebrate the New Year.

When the father was around, he was able to spend some money every year, but after the emperor's brother came to the throne, there was no such good thing.

This is not counting Emperor Tianping and Emperor Guangyuan, that is, the distant branches of the emperor's grandfather and emperor's great-grandfather. It is said that many of them have been mixed up to beat Fenghe around.

Over the years, there are quite a few people who are all surnamed Zhang, and they are all descended from Taizu's lineage. King Zhongshun didn't even bother to see those who came to beg for favors at the beginning and end of the year.

In terms of seniority, some of them can be called their grandfather's generation, but there are not many people who can't afford to eat.

It has only been a few years since the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, and it is less than a hundred years old. It is said that according to the statistics of the clan government, counting from the generation of the Taizu brothers and uncle brothers, the population of the clan with branches and leaves can exceed a thousand. Many concubines just don't admit it, and love whatever, thinking of this makes people shudder.

King Zhongshun can't control so many other families, but he has so many sons, he has to think more, and he has to think more for his son. He can't just close his eyes and his sons and grandchildren will be reduced to begging on the street, right?
In addition, he also heard some other meanings hidden in Feng Ziying's words, um, the meanings that he hadn't figured out yet.

"What do you want?" King Zhongshun chewed the question slowly, pursed his lips before putting down his teacup again: "Ziying, this king is dull, and I still don't quite understand the meaning of this sentence."

"My lord, it's simple. If you're just looking for a way to make money, then don't get involved in the Liaodong trade and the trade with North Korea and Japan. The first is complicated, and the second is time-consuming. There will inevitably be some twists and turns. Ziying will show you a way. In fact, you may also know that it is Yinzhuang, which does not dare to say that it is a huge profit, but it is a hen that lays golden eggs endlessly."

Feng Ziying's slightly relaxed tone made King Zhongshun's heart skip a few beats. Isn't this what he desires most?

He can't take care of his daughter. At most, he will marry a dowry and choose a good family. Hey, he also knows that civil servants like Feng Ziying will never delay their future by marrying the daughter of the clan. Guy tied up.

Of the thirteen sons, how many of them can become weapons, King Zhongshun himself doesn't know, he thinks it's good to have a fraction, what about the other ten?If there is a commotion, I am afraid that before I can close my eyes, it will stir up a miasma of smoke.

舔了舔嘴唇，这是忠顺王紧张兴奋激动的习惯，小时候没少因为这个习惯挨揍，虽说随着年龄增长，这个习惯动作日渐少见，但是到了这等时候，还是控制不住。

"What if Gu is not satisfied with this? Gu would like to hear, besides laying golden eggs, what else can Gu do and what can he get?"

At this time, King Zhongshun's tone was already very serious, and he was no longer relaxed and casual as before, and his eyes were focused on Feng Ziying's face.

Feng Ziying remained the same, and even picked up a piece of tea fruit, stuffed it into her mouth, and tasted it.

This is a bit of a faux pas.

If they are not very familiar or close friends, they usually just drink tea when they are waiting for tea. If it is said that the status is disparate or the relationship is relatively distant, even serving tea is just a decoration, but Feng Ziying seems to regard herself as a regular customer.

But King Zhongshun didn't think he was disobedient, and was even a little happy, which showed that the other party didn't treat him as an outsider, and was even willing to have further and deeper exchanges with him, which was the most willing.

"How about it, how about the tea fruit in Gufu? This lotus root starch cinnamon sugar cake, lotus root flour comes from Baoying, osmanthus sugar is from a famous Weiyang family. This chestnut flour cake is made in-house. Try it."

King Zhongshun himself found it strange that he actually persuaded someone to have tea, and he was still a young man of sixteen or seventeen. Well, yes, young people like this kind of appetite. For people of his age, That's just tea.

"Well, it's really delicious. There is no such delicacy in Ziying's mansion." Feng Ziying ate it with a smile, and then returned to the topic: "If the prince wants to share the emperor's worries, I hope that the future children will also have one or two. If you are interested, you might as well spend some time on maritime trade with North Korea and Japan."

"Oh?!" King Zhongshun was in high spirits, sharing the emperor's worries, which meant that he could have more things to do, and the last sentence moved his heart even more. If one or two of his sons can be promising, then It just solved a big problem for him.

Before Feng Ziying came to Zhongshun Palace, he already had a bottom line in his heart, and he also had an understanding of Zhongshun King's situation.

Among the thirteen sons, in addition to the three from the concubine, there are also ten sons from the concubine. Among them, except the eldest son who will inherit the throne in the future, there are twelve other sons. He is already 16 years old, and the eldest son is almost thirty, and he even has two sons.

"I would like to hear the details." King Zhongshun was really moved. Before, he really just wanted to get involved and find a way to make money, but now he feels that maybe he really found Feng Ziying this time. By the way, maybe there are really more gains.

"My lord should be clear about the matter of Yinzhuang. I dare not say what the emperor intends for Ziying for the time being. Let's see the final decision of the emperor. My lord may as well follow the emperor's actions. This account can be settled on the bright side. The Lai Shipyard is based on the order of the imperial navy fleet, and then explicitly grants the exclusive right to sea trade to Liaodong, North Korea, Japan, and even bypassing North Korea's Ezo and Savage Jurchen,..."

"...I don't dare to say in a year or two, but once North Korea, Japan, Ezo, and the wilder Jurchen routes to the north are opened, the ginseng, fur, gold sand, mountain products, and medicinal materials in the bitter and cold places will be available in an endless stream. Come on, we Dazhou only need to pay for our most common porcelain, salt, ironware, etc., which can be described as a huge profit. From shipbuilding to opening up trade, the cost of this trade line will be borrowed from Yinzhuang. The prince can imagine,... "

To deceive people, there must be seven truths and three falsehoods, seven points are true, and three points must be two and a half true and half false, only one point is false, but this point is very important.

Most of what Feng Ziying said was correct, and they were all true. The trade with Japan, North Korea, Eizo, and even savage Jurchens must be lucrative, but there are many problems here, and Feng Ziying naturally won't mention them.

One is the time, not just one or two years, I am afraid that it may not be able to be completely opened up in three to five years. The second is the amount of trade. If it is small-scale, it is meaningless, and it will take time to expand the trade volume. The third is the trade between North Korea and Japan. It is not easy to open.

But once the navy really develops and grows, if trade is hindered, it means that swords and artillery must be used to open the doors of North Korea, Japan and even more countries.

During this process, there will inevitably be many oppositions, and only by uniting more supporters can we counteract the power of these oppositions.

Feng Ziying is still not sure where the opposition will come from, the civil servants or the gentry behind them, the generals and the martial arts behind them, or other merchants who have not benefited from it, or even the emperor.

As the situation develops, friends can become allies or enemies, and allies can also turn against each other. Everything depends on the interests at the time.

But one thing will not change, let you draw in more people to become allies, then for the benefit, he must maintain a camp with you, even if he betrays his original identity and interests.
