Yue Li curled his lips slightly and said: "I invited His Highness here because I want to do business with His Highness."

Feng Hui narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Oh, let's hear it."

Yue Li waved his hand slightly, and Si Yue came over and put a tray on the table beside Feng Hui's hand, Yue Li said: "Is there something in the tray that His Highness can recognize?"

Feng Hui picked up the things in the tray, observed them in front of his eyes, threw them back into the tray and said: "This is tea, although it is rare, it is not a rare thing, but your method of making it is strange, my lord." I can't see it."

Si Yue then brought another tray with an exquisite jade bowl on it, Yue Li stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, Feng Hui took a sip from the bowl and frowned slightly, then took another sip with a slight expression Surprised, she put down the bowl and said, "What's in this bowl?"

Yue Li didn't answer but said: "Your Highness is good at business, it's admirable to be able to equal share with the Yongcheng Chamber of Commerce in just five years, but doing business only in Fengxiang's country is bound to be limited, after all, it's the people of Fengxiang who make money. money, why not do business with Gentiles?"

Feng Hui listened for a while and said: "Your Excellency, you don't think that you are the only one who can think of this place, and that is how you underestimate me. Fengxiang is adjacent to the sea in the southeast, Wolong Mountain is in the west, and King Xiping is guarding in the north." In recent years, the Yi tribe has annexed many tribes, and their strength has gradually increased, and they invaded our border many times. King Xiping has already banned the border, may I ask where is the foreign country you mentioned?"

Yue Li sat upright with his arms crossed and his upper body leaned forward slightly, "If King Xiping didn't intend to condone, how would the Yi people have a chance to grow stronger? King Xiping has 30 troops, including [-] cavalry, where did the horses come from?" , Your Highness really believes in the so-called prohibition?"

Fenghui looked at Yueli with interest and said, "You want to do business with the Yi people, what do you want, Ma?"

"It's just one of them. The Yi people are adjacent to the foreign countries, and the products of the foreign countries are different from ours. If we can open up a business route through the Yi people and communicate with the foreign countries, it will be of great benefit to Fengxiang."

After hearing this, Feng Hui calmed down and said: "The Yi people make a living by grazing animals, and what they lack most is food. Do you want to use food to make a deal with them?"

Yueli shook his head and said, "The tea Your Highness drank just now is called sage oil tea, which is made from oil extracted from milk and tea leaves. Su ye tea can relieve greasy, keep out the cold, and replenish physical strength. It is most suitable for the bitterly cold place of the Yi people. What does Your Highness think about using tea leaves to trade with him?"

Feng Hui shook his head and said, "The price of tea is as rare as gold, so the gain outweighs the loss."

"Your Highness, don't worry, the climate of Wolong Mountain is suitable for the growth of tea trees. As long as His Highness can open a trade route, I can provide His Highness with enough tea," Yueli said.

A glint flashed in Fenghui's eyes and said: "Okay, I will cooperate with the big boss, how about four or six cents of the proceeds?"

Yueli shook his head and said, "No, as long as you and I get [-]% from the tea trade, the same goes for the horses traded with the Yi people."

Feng Hui put his hands on his chest and said, "Your Excellency is too insincere. With King Xiping at the border, it is so simple to trade horses with the Yi people. The boss will probably open his mouth. This is for the king to give it to Your Excellency." Doing white work."

Yueli leaned on the chair with his hands on his forehead and said slowly: "It is extremely difficult for others to deal with King Xiping, but it is easy for His Highness. As far as I know, half of the food and salary that King Xiping needs It is from the area under the jurisdiction of your Nan'an Prince's Mansion, and the Yi people have always hated Fengxiang. The difficulty for His Highness is how to trade with the Yi people, and the tea is a stepping stone I gave to Your Highness. With this stepping stone, Your Highness It is not difficult to do business with the Yi people and open up business routes, but what I want is only the proceeds from the tea trade, so your Highness’s business firm does not trade other things."

"Even so, you know that only this king's Chamber of Commerce can do business with the Yi people. Twenty percent of the income is too little, and this king wants forty percent."

"Thirty percent, if it wasn't for the fact that Wolong Mountain is thousands of miles away from Xi'an Palace, I would be willing to do this business with the King of Xi'an. Besides, Wolong Village will send a team of guards to protect the caravan," Yueli said.

Feng Hui raised his eyebrows and said: "Okay, I will do this business with Your Excellency."

"Your Majesty, hurry up"

"It's not as good as the big masters strategizing"

Yueli nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness, just call me Yueli."

"You can call me Fenghui," Fenghui said with a smile, "If you said earlier that you wanted to make such a deal with me, I would have come, why did you use this method to invite me, and you lost me for nothing?" a lot of goods"

"If I invite you, would you come?" Yueli said indifferently, if this happened, I'm afraid Fenghui might not take Wolongzhai seriously. never mind.

"Of course I will come here often in the future," Feng Hui replied with a smile as if he didn't understand what Yue Li said.

"It's too late to go down the mountain, Feng Hui, why don't you stay here for one night, and send someone to take you down the mountain tomorrow?" Feng Hui, you come, I'm tired of exchanging Feng Feng for a long time, and I don't want to talk any more.

"Alright," Feng Hui didn't intend to return on the same day, so Yue Li directly ordered Si Yue to take Feng back to the guest room.

After Feng Hui left, Shi Lang came in, Yue Li sat down relaxed and asked, "Ah Lang, how is the situation in the tea garden?"

"The condition of the tea trees in each village is very good, and the villagers are very interested in growing tea."

"That's good. You can arrange for the villagers to go to the mountains to pick tea in the future and continue to make brick tea. I will go to Yongcheng in a few days. You and An Ran will solve the matters in the village for the time being. If you encounter difficult things, you can send a letter to Yongcheng, has Ah Shi returned to Yongcheng?"

"She won't be back for another ten days."

"Tell her that tea can only be traded with Feng Hui at present, and let her pay attention to some villagers secretly selling tea."

"good."

"Let Xiao Qi choose four people from the Dragon Team, and another ten people to escort Feng back to the caravan. The remaining five people and the Dragon Team that Xiao Wan is in charge of will hand over to An Ran temporarily, and let An Ran choose from the Ten Dragon Team Find a suitable person to be the captain of Team A and B, and Xiaowan will follow me to Yongcheng."

"Master, why do you have to go to Yongcheng? Now our relationship with the government of Yongcheng is tense. If someone finds out your identity..." Shi Lang couldn't help worrying.

"Don't worry, my identity has been arranged. With the Empress Dowager behind me, no one will find out. Ashi is also in Yongcheng. We can still take care of each other. Don't worry too much."

Shi Lang was still worried after hearing this, but he knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he nodded.

Early the next morning, Yue Li personally sent Feng back down the mountain and went to Wang Qing's residence. Wang Qing was making tea, Yue Li sat opposite Wang Qing and smiled, "Ah Qing is very elegant."

Wang Qing poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yue Li, "Taste it."

Yue Li took a sip and said, "It's clear and mellow, it's even better than last time."

"Have you decided to go to Yongcheng?"

"Um."

"when are we leaving?"

"In four or five days."

"Why do you insist on going to Yongcheng?"

"Ah Qing, you should have found out, right?"

"Training soldiers for the empress?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you," Yue Li said with a smile in his eyes.

"Is it related to your trip to Yongcheng?"

"Ah Qing, what do you think is the biggest obstacle for the crown maiden to rule the world?"

"It's a gentry."

"That's right. People in the world only see that the two kings of the Feng clan ruled the world, and that the Feng clan's country is precarious, but they don't know that the biggest hidden danger is the gentry. The relationships between the Chen, Yan, Wang, Qi, and Wu gentry clans are intricate and powerful. Nowadays, the style of writing is popular, and the gentry has more talents, who are sought after by the people all over the world, and their influence has surpassed that of the royal family. The unity of the royal family can still suppress the gentry. If there is civil strife, it is not difficult for the gentry to change their dynasty. I will definitely not rebel. Now the power center of the gentry is in Yongcheng. At the beginning, the princess agreed to train for her in Wolong Mountain. On the surface, it was to contain King Xiping. In fact, she was to suppress the gentry in the future. It is the worst strategy to suppress the gentry in the future. , a little carelessness will make the people of the world turn against each other."
