Royal Gold Magistrate

Paba's face immediately became serious: "Why?"

Fangzheng shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's the national policy to emphasize agriculture and suppress business! The status of merchants has always been low. Wouldn't it change the national policy to open up business routes?"

"What's more, I have a lot of products in the big scene, and I have everything. Is there any need for trade?"

"Although it is good that the two countries are brothers and sisters, the matter of commerce will not be achieved overnight, unless His Majesty fights against all opinions!"

Paba frowned: "Although Jingguo is strong, as far as I know, supplies such as horses and sheepskins are in short supply. Can the courtiers turn a blind eye?"

"Of course it can't, but in their view, this is a small profit, and no one will lose their integrity because of a small profit!"

"It has not been three years since the end of the war in Dajing, and the foundation of emphasizing agriculture is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Now is the time to flourish agriculture and stabilize the country's foundation!"

"The caravan goes to the border, and the transportation alone will cost a lot, and the imperial court is unwilling to bear this part of the loss."

"Furthermore, Master, you should know that the south of Dajing is the real place of wealth, and it will take at least several months for the materials to be transshipped to the border of Beirong for trading!"

"The low status of merchants is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of customs officials."

"Those people take increasing classes as their ability, take strictness as their strength, plan to the bone, and spare no pennies!"

"Every time you pass a checkpoint, merchants will be stripped of their skins. Have you counted how many checkpoints you have to pass?"

Speaking of this, Fangzheng was in tears.

It is not easy for the county's own people to run a business outside, and it costs a lot of money to get through one of the checkpoints.

Intimidation, temptation, all-in-one.

Not to mention too much, it took a lot of work to quote commercial fakes in batches....

"Although I thought that this trip might not go smoothly, it's really not as detailed as you thought." Paba nodded from time to time, what Fang Zhengyi said was indeed reasonable, and he already understood it, but he didn't expect the obstacles to be so heavy.

"But... Mr. Fang, why do you think this is a good thing?"

"Hey! I grew up in a merchant's family since I was a child, so I naturally know more about merchants."

As he spoke, Fangzheng showed grief and indignation: "I'm telling you the truth! My thoughts have always been at odds with the courtiers!"

"In addition, I can't hold back my words, and I have always been disliked by others. You will know after a long time."

"Many people pour dirty water on me every day, saying that I am sycophant, flattering, and open-minded, but they don't know that they are the kind of people themselves!"

"If it weren't for my emperor's wisdom, I don't know which valley I would have been relegated to."

"It's really dark in the officialdom! When I saw the master today, I feel like old friends at the first sight, and I can't vomit some things!"

Paba just smiled and didn't speak.

Seeing Chen Hong's behavior towards him in the morning, he could also feel that Fang Zhengyi was not liked by others.

And now, his performance is very direct, the most important thing is that when he said that my emperor is wise, he felt very sincere!

It seems that what Fang Zhengyi said is almost inseparable from the truth, and it should be like this.

This person is available!

"Master Fang, it's up to you..."

"Don't call me Master Fang, call me Brother Fang! You and I have seen each other naked now, why are you still seeing each other like this!" Fang Zheng started to hit the snake with the stick.

Paba coughed twice in embarrassment: "Brother Fang, what should we do in your opinion?"

Fangzheng's face turned pale: "Master, the conversation we had before was known to everyone in the court, and it might be inappropriate to talk about it in detail, not to mention that His Royal Highness is still here?"

Paba looked sideways at Li Yuanzhao, saw that he and Lu Fa were still pointing at Chi Lie from time to time, and said in a low voice, "Brother Fang, you don't consider me a friend? You don't want to pass the law on to others. The conversation between the two of us will not be leaked!"

Fangzheng gritted his teeth after thinking for a moment, "Okay! Since you've already said that, it's okay for me to tell you! But you must keep it a secret!"

Paba beamed with joy: "Definitely!"

"In a few days, if you discuss this with His Majesty and the courtiers, the biggest resistance will be the courtiers, but His Majesty must make the final decision."

"So, you just need to convince His Majesty!"

"Just mentioning trade is not enough, at least we need to talk about it a few more times, and the conditions have to be increased."

"My suggestion is that you finally tell His Majesty that the two countries will jointly build border towns for transactions, and each send officials to guard them."

"The two countries have agreed that border town transactions need to be jointly stamped and distributed with special business guides to prevent merchants from being blocked at the checkpoint."

"In the end, you just need to show enough sincerity, Master. The key is the amount of tax."

Paba looked at Fang Zhengyi suspiciously: "Is it that simple?"

"of course not!"

"The influence of the courtiers on His Majesty's will is the most important thing, so what you have to do is to climb up to the celebrities around His Majesty first to have a chance of success!"

"Who is this person?"

Fangzheng showed a mysterious smile: "This person is His Majesty's personal eunuch, Guo Tianyang! He has been with His Majesty since he was a child, and he has experienced people, and his words are very important."

"There is another person who is the chief assistant of the court, the crown prince and the grand master of Jinshen Pavilion."

Paba was immediately overjoyed, today really didn't come in vain!

"Then how do we get in touch with these two? Brother Fang, can you find a way?"

Fangzheng coughed twice: "Cough! I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. Although I don't have a good relationship with my colleagues, I have a good relationship with Eunuch Guo. I can find a way to help you talk about it."

"What about Master Li?"

"He is my uncle! They are all real relatives, keep a low profile, don't tell me!"

Hiss~!Papa gasped.

That's it, the trick is here!No wonder such an honest man can survive in the officialdom. With this background, as long as he doesn't commit suicide, he can't afford to offend anyone!

"Then... Can Brother Fang help me..." Paba stared at Li Yuanzhao while winking at Fangzheng.

"Of course I can help you, but... there are many difficulties!" Fangzheng revealed his confusion.

"If there is anything that needs my help, Brother Fang just ask!"

Fangzheng thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "It's fine for me to be alone, the problem is... I need money!"

"Eunuch Guo loves money, and my uncle loves drinking tea, especially big-grade Tianxian tea!"

"Eunuch Guo is so powerful and has countless godsons, so he naturally despises ordinary small benefits."

"You know how expensive the big-grade Tianxian tea is. Without money, it's really hard to move forward. Forgive me for being helpless!"

Paba smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "How much money Brother Fang needs, I will pay! In addition... there is a small gift!"

Fangzheng immediately glared at Paba: "What are you talking about! I need your little gift!"

"I think the two countries are willing to help you because of the win-win cooperation between the two countries. You bribed me? Then I don't think so! I, Fang Zheng, have misjudged the wrong person!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head and wanted to leave.

Paba was startled, and quickly stepped forward to grab Fang Zhengyi's arm, and comforted him: "Brother Fang! Brother Fang, I made a slip of the tongue, don't be angry, calm down!"

"Brother, I apologize to you!"

Paba stared nervously at Fang Zhengyi.

Seeing his chest rising and falling, it took a long time before he said solemnly: "You can help me, but don't mention it if you are rude. I'm not that kind of person."

"Yes... it's my fault, Brother Fang, how much money do you need to operate?" Paba smiled apologetically.

Why didn't I think of it, this kind of honest and honest people want face the most!What a mistake!

"I think...it should be 5 taels anyway."

fifty thousand?Paba only felt a pain in the flesh, and if he could get things done, 5 taels would be a good deal.

He didn't doubt Fang Zhengyi, no one in the world was brave enough to lie about this kind of thing!

Dare to use the people around the emperor as a cover, isn't that courting death?

Paba gritted his teeth: "Brother Fang, if 5 taels is not enough, I will add another 1 taels!"

"Well, okay!"
