Zhao Pan'er smiled and said, "Minglan is very considerate!"

"We can't sell this wolf!"

"If you really feel that the official is messing with you, eat him!"

The sudden words directly made Sheng Minglan's face flush.

"Sister, what are you talking about!"

Sheng Minglan looked shy.

Zhao Pan'er smiled: "Aren't I providing you with a means of revenge?"

"The officials should not refuse!"

Gao You smiled, and quickly looked at the maid not far away: "Why isn't dinner ready yet!"

"Go and urge the back cook!"

……

The next morning.

Gao You did not leave the palace after the morning court, but followed the officials to the imperial study.

"You all go down!"

The officials waved their hands, motioning for everyone to leave.

Seeing Cui Neishi still standing there, the official said: "You go out too!"

"Also keep an eye on the surrounding area and don't let anyone get close!"

"Yes!"

Cui Naishi nodded and walked out quickly.

Only then did the official look at Gao You: "What does You Er want from me?"

"I want to cooperate with the old man in overseas trade!"

Gao You straight to the point explained the purpose of his visit.

The officials couldn't help being taken aback, their son was in business with him.

This is simply the biggest joke in the world.

445 Officials Shock Gao You's Plan

"Yuer, what are you talking about?"

The official frowned and stared at Gao You: "I am the emperor, and you are the future prince!"

"How can we do business together?"

"If the courtiers outside hear this, they will definitely say that we are competing with the people for profit!"

Gao You shrugged: "We compete with the people for profit? Those officials often let the family members do business to make money!"

"Aren't they competing with the people for profit!"

The official just wanted to say something.

Gao You waved his hand directly: "Officials, I'm not here to discuss with you the issue of official business!"

"Some time ago, I asked Lu Fang to go to Nanyang, and brought back some Nanyang goods and sold them for a lot of money!"

"Guess the officials, how much money did Lu Fang and his party make this trip!"

The official guessed boldly: "Five hundred guan!"

"no!"

Gao You shook his head: "Close to three thousand!"

"This is only the income of three ships!"

"If there are too many ships, how terrible the profits will be. The official "[-]" can think about it for themselves."

A single ship can earn thousands of dollars.

This number is indeed too terrifying.

The official stared at Gao You: "Do you want to expand the size of the fleet going to sea?"

"Ok!"

Gao You nodded.

The officials were very puzzled: "There is no forbidden sea in our country. If you want to expand the scale, you can expand it!"

"Why do you have to drag Wei father together?"

Gao You smiled: "Because I want to install artillery on the ship!"

"At the same time equip them with muskets!"

"what!"

The officials suddenly opened their eyes wide: "Are the cannons on the ship?"

"What is this for?"

"Ordinary people, how can they have weapons like artillery!"

Gao You smiled: "It's because ordinary people can't do it, that's why I came to discuss cooperation with the government!"

"If Lu Fang is an official of the government's internal treasury, those crew members are also soldiers of the internal treasury!"

"It doesn't matter what weapons are on the ship!"

The officials fell silent.

After a few seconds.

He looked at Gao You: "What is your real purpose for putting the artillery on board?"

"Even if you want to resist the risks at sea, I can authorize the crew to be equipped with crossbow arrows!"

"Even the eight-ox crossbow is fine!"

"But this artillery, isn't it too much!"

Gao You also knew the officials' worries.

He smiled and said, "Old man, since we're talking about this!"

"I won't hide it anymore!"

"Actually, the purpose of sending ships to sea is not only to make money, but also to train troops!"

"We need a loyal army capable of suppressing rebellions across the country!"

The officials were immediately stunned by Gao You's words: "A national rebellion?"

"You'er, did you find something?"

Gao You smiled: "I haven't found it yet, but there will definitely be one in the future!"

"Because I'm planning to share my income!"

"Spread to the mu!"

The official frowned, completely ignoring the meaning of Gao You's words.

Gao You quickly explained his plan.

Since ancient times, royalties have never received taxes from landlords and nobles.

The tax rate is directly locked in the land. As long as you have the land, you have to pay.

No matter who you are, you are not exempt.

The official understood the principle, and looked at Gao You in disbelief: "You'er, you are trying to poke a hole in the sky!"

"Do you know how many people will fight back if you do this?"

"If those aristocratic families unite..."

Gao You smiled: "Throughout the dynasties, it always collapsed because of land annexation and lack of tax revenue!"

"We Da Song must not repeat the same mistakes!"

"I must get this stall!"

Seeing Gao You's serious look, the officials knew they couldn't persuade him.

He sighed: "You'er, I know that you have the whole world in your heart, and you want to be a sage king who surpasses the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns!"

"But the meal has to be eaten bite by bite, don't rush into it!"

"Beware of one wrong move, and the whole game will be lost!"

He didn't even persuade himself to give up.

Gao You looked at the official in surprise: "Old man, I thought you would stop me!"

"I really want to!"

The official looked at Gao You: "But will you listen to me?"

"will not!"

Gao You shook his head: "Our Song Dynasty wants to rise up, even if you stop me now, I will do it in the future!"

"Old man, get ready to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen!"

The official couldn't help being stunned: "Feng Chan, why did you suddenly mention this!"

Gao You looked into the eyes of the official family: "The official family should have no choice but to go to Fengchan after signing the Tanyuan Alliance!"

"Ok!"

The official nodded.

Facing their own son, the officials have nothing to hide.
