He has not lived enough

Bai Qingyu closed his eyes, suppressed all the thoughts in his head, and waited for him to open them again;

He is not afraid of these dark forces, there are many people who want to get rid of him, this is just one of them.

However, this time the assassins were different from the previous ones, all of them declared their determination to die. They were definitely not ordinary hired assassins, but more like carefully trained dead soldiers.

It also shows that the planner is deeply scheming, and it is more likely that the person behind it is not from Xirong, but more like a secret block hidden deep beside him, trying to avoid exposing himself.

If this hidden block is not removed, the capital will not be safe. He cannot let the child fall into such danger again.

The guards led the order, and Bai Qingyu quietly looked in the direction of Zichen Palace from the window, and did not move for a long time.

After the Assassin incident, Zhao Yu rested for a few days. After seeing Lu Yun that day, he said that he didn't hurt any bones, but his hamstring was really sprained.

In fact, with Lu Yun's medical skills, after a few needles and a few patches of ointment, Zhao Yu felt that he was almost healed, but both Lu Yun and Bai Qingyu agreed that he should be bedridden for at least a month. Yu was bored.

Finally, one time when Lu Yun came to change the dressing, she couldn't help secretly discussing whether she could let him lie down for a few days less.

"Hundred muscles and bones have been hurt for a hundred days. Although His Majesty has not hurt the bones, he has hurt the muscles. Lying down for a month is not too much."

Lu Yun said so while giving him acupuncture, and then twirled the silver needle. The sourness of the acupuncture point made Zhao Yu burst into tears, and he yelled and dared not move.

"Since your Majesty is sore, it means that you haven't taken care of yourself..." Lu Yun said seriously, "If you don't take care of yourself, it will inevitably be uncomfortable when it rains, and even if you don't blame Mr. Bai if you become lame. I need to settle accounts with Weichen."

As soon as Bai Qingyu was mentioned, Zhao Yu immediately fainted.

This time, he really overused his favorability. Bai Qingyu probably felt guilty about the assassination, and he was very concerned about his foot injury, so he came to see it when he was free.

Zhang Defu also found a trick. Every time Zhao Yu felt bored and wanted to exercise, he would invite Bai Qingyu, and no matter how busy he was, Bai Qingyu would definitely come, and Zhao Yu would be honest with a cool look.

In addition, the Empress Dowager Shen also sent three meals a day of herbal supplements here, and they mainly used various hooves and claws. She said that she wanted to replenish her body, and every time she had to watch him drink it up, she would have to do it. Zhao Yu was so drunk that he had the illusion that he was in confinement.

If Hyundai had a mobile phone and tablet in hand, he would not be afraid even for three months, let alone a month.

But now, besides reading those few stories every day, Zhao Yu is really going crazy.

After lying down, Zhao Yu even began to miss Chen Xueshi and his riding and archery teacher, and secretly decided that when he recovered, he must study hard and improve every day. Even reading and writing is better than lying down.

Xu felt that Zhao Yu was really boring and Zhang Defu often talked about something new. One day he casually mentioned that a foreigner lived in the palace recently, and Zhao Yu suddenly remembered Andrew.

That's right, he asked Bai Qingyu to invite Andrew to the palace, but he forgot about him when he turned around.

The man passed through many places on the way from Radha country, so it must be interesting to chat with him.

At the same time, the system that had been quiet for several days shook. Zhao Yu clicked on it and found that this new task was really related to Andrew.

"Mission: The way to make money (long-term);

Task requirements: Reach a new trade agreement with Radha, expand overseas trade regulations, and double the country's sea trade income within one year.

Task points: 100000;

Mission description: Why don't you want the money delivered to your door? "

Turning off the system, Zhao Yu thought about it carefully. Unlike the Western countries that were established by commerce, although the Jin Dynasty was prosperous and produced a large number of exquisite products that foreigners coveted, it did not impose strict restrictions on trade like the previous dynasties, but the strategy of emphasizing agriculture and restraining business Fundamentally unchanged.

Officials and nobles still look down on merchants and have a lot of control over commodity transactions, especially overseas trade.

This is not because their vision is too narrow. In history, there have indeed been cases of giant merchants hoarding, driving up prices, and even trying to manipulate the government during times of national crisis, causing catastrophe. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress business.

However, both the Great Jin Dynasty and the former Dynasty have gone to extremes on the road of suppressing merchants. Merchants are heavily taxed, merchants and their descendants are not allowed to wear brocade clothes and satin, and are not allowed to enter the imperial examination.

This really cuts off the way for businessmen to get ahead, but the country's economy is bound to be affected in the long run.

Zhao Yu felt that since the system released this task, it meant that there must be something wrong with blindly suppressing business.

Blocking is worse than sparse, as long as the imperial court has established a sound system that is reasonable and compliant, can not only control the market and merchants, but also increase the revenue of the treasury, why not do it?

After all... money is king!

Whether it's the sales homes and relief centers he asked Bai Qingyu to build a few days ago, or the floods that may occur in the future, or the war against Xirong or the rebel army, all of them will cost real money. No matter how good it is.

Zhao Yu also had some impressions of this Radha Kingdom. In Yuanzhu's memory, Radha Kingdom also came to see him at the Great Court this year, and hoped to expand the trade volume.

But the original owner thinks that this is just a small country, and the gifts from Radha's neighbors are more exquisite and expensive to please him.

At that time, Zhao Ke, who was deeply trusted by the original owner, didn't know how much benefit he had received from the neighboring country of Raduo, and he often spoke ill of the Raduo country to the original owner, so that the original owner ignored Bai Qingyu's objection and flatly rejected the Raduo country's proposal to expand trade. ask.

But in fact, the geographical location of the Radha Kingdom is better than that of its neighbors, and its development is extremely rapid. At the Great Court Meeting in the year of the original Lord's death, the new emperor specially hosted a separate banquet for the envoys of the Radha Kingdom.

At that time, the country had annexed several surrounding countries in two or three years, and became one of the most powerful kingdoms in Europe.

Now it's Zhao Yu's place...

Naturally, he would not foolishly give up this opportunity to make a lot of money. Doubling the financial revenue within a year may sound impossible, but it is not difficult to achieve it through overseas trade.

If the Radha country is given the condition of increasing the purchase price in exchange for their request to expand their trade volume, I believe they will still agree without hesitation.

We must know that although the people of European countries are too poor to open their mouths, the aristocratic churches are all rich, and they are obsessed with oriental silk, porcelain, and accessories.

However, due to the trade restrictions of the Jin Dynasty and the long distance, rare things are more expensive, and the value of the goods that have been transferred to Europa several times or even ten times higher than the purchase price, the nobles still flock to them.

Even if the purchase price is doubled, Luo Tuo Kingdom will still make a steady profit without losing money, and there is no reason to refuse.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu, who seemed to see a merchant ship returning full of gold coins, couldn't sit still, but he still asked for Bai Qingyu's opinion. After all, this matter could not be done with his enthusiasm. thigh.

Knowing Zhao Yu's thoughts, Bai Qingyu agreed after thinking about it.

He has already investigated and found that Andrew has nothing to do with the assassination, and his identity is not an ordinary nobleman, but King Radha's favorite prince and a paladin of the country's Holy Knights.

This time he followed the ambassador Dajin because he wanted to go out to experience himself. Generally speaking, he is a young man with good character. He is about the same age as Zhao Yu, only two years older than him.

The Luo Tuo Kingdom was only established for more than 100 years, and it was one of the trade centers between Dajin and Western European countries, but it has always been suppressed by neighboring countries.

However, the Jin court had very strict control over overseas trade, and the goods they obtained from Dajin were far from meeting their needs.

In recent years, the Radha Kingdom has been trying to expand the scale of trade with Dajin. Especially this year, the mission brought a lot of gifts to show its sincerity, hoping to become an important trading partner of Dajin.

Although Bai Qingyu came from an aristocratic family, he did not despise business like others, and knew a lot about foreign countries.

He knew that most of the countries around Da Jin were poor and weak, but it would be really stupid to despise foreign countries because of this.

It was Zhao Yu who had such a long-term and enlightened idea that he did not expect.

The child's growth rate... far exceeded his expectations.

only……

Thinking of Andrew's extraordinary enthusiasm for Zhao Yu, Bai Qingyu was a little concerned after all, especially for Zhang Defu's confession that the etiquette and customs of foreigners were different from those of Dajin, so don't let his words and deeds offend Zhao Yu.

Besides, Andrew, who has been idle in the palace for several days.

He came from a noble family, but in terms of luxury and refinement, the Radha Palace is far inferior to Dajin, so the few days when he first entered the palace was quite novel, and he was very excited about what he had seen and heard.

However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will be boring after a long time. In this palace, his scope of activities is limited. Although there are banquets, singing and dancing every day, there are many restrictions after all. It is not as easy as he thought to see His Majesty the Emperor.

The knowledgeable Mr. Bo visited him twice, but each time he chatted with Amon in Da Jin.Andrew can't get in the way at all;

——Obviously it was his credit that the two people entered the palace!

Just when Andrew was about to leave the palace in a slump, he received the news that His Majesty the Emperor had summoned him.

Immediately, joy fell from the sky, and the whole person was radiant. He quickly found out a suit of clothes that could best show his handsomeness and changed on his body before following the waiter out.

"Let me remind you again, Your Highness, this is Dajin, not Luotuo Kingdom, and you must follow the etiquette here..." Emon, who followed him to act as an interpreter, persuaded earnestly, "I am still working hard to convince that Mr. Bai If you agree to expand trade, you must not..."

Don't mess with me!

"Alright, alright, Emon, this is the fifth time you have reminded me..." Andrew casually perfunctory Emon, all his mind is now immersed in the joy of seeing His Majesty the Emperor, "I promise I won't do anything smashed."

Amon sighed melancholy, and could only pray to His Highness not to cause any trouble.

After waiting outside the palace for a while, a servant led them into Zichen Palace.

Andrew originally thought that the palace he lived in before was already luxurious enough, but he didn't know what grandeur and luxury was until he arrived here.

Entering the hall, you can feel that the design is exquisite, the carvings are exquisite, and the decorations and pictures full of oriental style add to the elegance.
