Section 92 Inducement and counter-inducement

Glancing at the other party up and down a little rudely, Feng Ziying didn't have anything to say, and said straightforwardly: "Lord Wang, are you asking for Your Majesty, or for yourself?" ”

"Oh?" King Zhongshun was stunned for a while, and then became interested, "What about asking for the imperial brother, and how about asking for myself?" ”

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

Feng Ziying became more and more relaxed, and even picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The narrow eyes of the King of Zhongshun flickered, and he also took a sip of the teacup.

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

The monarch chooses the minister, the minister chooses the king, and the same is true for this choice of partners.

King Zhongshun thought he was qualified to be involved, but he did not consider himself the only choice.

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

It's not that the royal brother is not qualified, but the imperial brother has too many problems to worry about.

In the same way, King Zhongshun had ideas, but also concerns.

He is now very valued by the imperial brother, and even some important and secret affairs are entrusted to him to participate in the handling, but in times of peace, the king of Zhongshun knows very well the royal affairs, and the heavenly family has no kindness, even if there is, it will definitely not be extended to himself.

The royal brother's body is also very clear to the king, and it looks good now, but the inside is weak and lacking, and the royal brother himself is also very clear, so he is also very concerned about maintenance now.

Once the imperial brother dies, no matter which imperial nephew takes over the throne, I am afraid that he will no longer attach so much importance and favor to his own line as the imperial brother attaches importance to himself now.

Besides, he has thirteen sons, four daughters, and seven underage sons, and he is worried when he thinks of this, and his sons and concubines are all sons.

The thirteen sons are the eldest sons who can inherit the family business, but what about the other twelve sons?

Especially the sons born to a few favored concubines, now the pillow wind has been whining, and they are noisy in their ears all day long, asking to buy some property for them, otherwise in the future, they can really only go to guard the little favor issued by the Zongren Mansion every year and drink the northwest wind?

Look at your cousins, that is, the sons of the father's brothers, how many of them can still mix like people now? Many of them have already fallen into selling Zhuangzi and selling houses for a living.

At the end of each year, many people even have to go to the Zongren Mansion or the palace to cry for poverty, asking for some reward, otherwise they will not be able to celebrate the New Year.

When my father was here, I was able to send a little bit every year, but after the emperor's brother ascended 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 the emperor's great-grandfather, it is said that there are already many people who have been mixed up to the situation of pumping abundance and helping around.

Over the years, there have been many people with the surname Zhang, all of whom have come down from the line of Taizu, and those who have come to smoke at the end of the year to ask for favors, and the king of Zhongshun is too lazy to see it.

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

How many years has the Great Zhou Dynasty been established, less than a hundred years, it is said that the Zongren Mansion has counted, starting from the generation of the Taizu brothers and the uncle brothers, this branch is scattered, the population of the clan can exceed 1,000, and there are many concubines, simply don't admit it, how can you love it, it's chilling to think of it.

King Zhongshun can't manage as many as other families, but he has so many sons, he has to think more, and think more for his son, he can't close his eyes, but his sons and grandchildren are reduced to begging on the streets, right?

And he also heard some other meanings hidden in Feng Ziying's words, well, he hasn't tasted the meaning yet.

"What do you want?" King Zhongshun chewed this question slowly, pursed his lips before putting down the teacup again: "Ziying, this king is stupid, and he still doesn't understand the meaning of this. ”

"Lord, it's simple, if you simply ask for a way to make money, then don't mix with Liaodong trade and trade with Korea and Japan, the first is complicated, the second is time-taking, and there are inevitably some twists and turns, Ziying will show you a way, in fact, you may also know that it is Yinzhuang, I dare not say that it is a million profits, but it is a hen that lays golden eggs endlessly."

Feng Ziying's slightly relaxed tone made the heart of the loyal and obedient king jump a few times, isn't this what he longs for the most?

He can't take care of his daughter, at most he will marry a sum of money and choose a good family, hey, he also knows that it is impossible for a Wenchen like Feng Ziying to marry the daughter of the clan and delay his future, otherwise he will tie up this guy even if he marries more.

Of the thirteen sons, there are a few who can become instruments, and the king of Zhongshun himself doesn't know, he thinks it's good to have a fraction, what about the other ten? This is going to make a fuss, but I'm afraid that before I have time to close my eyes, I will have to stir up the miasma.

Licked his lips, this is the habit of King Zhongshun to be nervous and excited, when he was a child, he was beaten for this habit, although as he grew older, this habit became less and less common, but at such a time, he still couldn't control it.

"What if Lone is not satisfied with this? Lone wants to hear, in addition to this golden egg hen, what else can Lone do, what can he get? ”

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

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

That's a bit of a faux pas.

If you are not a particularly familiar or close friend, when you wait for tea, you usually just taste tea, if you say that the status is disparity or the relationship is more distant, even serving tea is a decoration, but Feng Ziying seems to regard herself as a regular customer.

But the king of Zhongshun did not think it was angry, and even a little happy, which shows that the other party did not treat him as an outsider, and was even willing to have further deeper exchanges with him, which was the most willing.

"How is it, how are the tea fruits in the lonely house? This lotus root flour cinnamon sugar cake, lotus root flour comes from Baoying, osmanthus sugar is from Weiyang famous family, this chestnut flour cake is made inside, taste. ”

King Zhongshun himself felt strange, he actually persuaded people to eat refreshments, and he was a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, well, too, young people like this kind of appetite, and people of his own age are just tasting tea.

"Well, if it's really delicious, there is no such delicacy in Ziying's mansion." Feng Ziying smiled and ate, and then turned back to the topic: "If the prince wants to share the emperor's worries, and hopes that the future heirs can also have a good future, then you might as well spend some time on the sea trade with North Korea and Japan." ”

"Oh?!" King Zhongshun was in great spirits, and sharing worries for the emperor meant that he could have more things to do, and the latter sentence made him even more excited, if one or two of his sons could make a difference, it would simply solve a big problem for him.

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

Thirteen sons, in addition to the three sons, there are also ten sons, among which in addition to the eldest son can succeed to the throne in the future, there are twelve others, among the twelve, the second and third sons, all have reached the age of sixteen, and the eldest concubine is almost thirty, and even has two sons.

"I want to hear about it." King Zhongshun was really moved, he really just wanted to get involved and make a fortune before, but now he felt that maybe he had really found the right one to find this Feng Ziying this time, and maybe he really had more gains.

"The matter of Yinzhuang, the prince should be clear, how the emperor plans Ziying does not dare to say for the time being, and see the emperor's final decision, the prince may wish to follow the emperor's measures, this account can be calculated on the bright side, if the Denglai shipyard is based on the order of the imperial navy fleet, and then clearly grant the exclusive right to sea trade to Liaodong, Korea and Japan, and even bypass the Korean Ezo and Savage Jurchen Ministry,......"

"......, I don't dare to say in a year or two, but once the route of Korea, Japan, Ezo and the savage Jurchen tribe further north is opened, the ginseng, fur, gold sand, mountain goods, and medicinal materials from its bitter cold land can come in a steady stream, and our Great Zhou only needs to pay our most ordinary porcelain, salt, ironware, etc., which can be described as a million profits, and the cost of this trade route from shipbuilding to opening up trade will be borrowed from Yinzhuang, and the prince can imagine ,......"

Fooling people, to have seven truths and three falsehoods, seven points of truth, three points must have two and a half points of truth and half falsehood, only one point is false, but this point is very important.

Feng Ziying is right most of what she said, it is all true, and the trade with Japan, Korea, Ezo and even the Savage Nuzhen must be lucrative, but there are many problems here, and Feng Ziying will naturally not mention it.

First, time, not only one or two years, but three or five years may not be able to completely open up, second, the amount of trade, if it is small and meaningless, and to expand the trade quota, it will take time, and third, the trade between North Korea and Japan is not easy to open.

But once the sailors really grew stronger, if trade was hindered, then it would mean that swords and artillery would have to be used to open the borders of Korea, Japan, and even more countries.

In the process, there will inevitably be a lot of opposition, and only by connecting more supporters can we counter the forces of opposition.

Feng Ziying is still unsure where the opposition will come from, the civil officials or the gentry behind them, the military generals and the martial artists behind them, or other merchants who have not been able to get their hands on the benefits, or even the emperor.

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

But one thing will not change, if you pull more people into allies, then for the sake of profit, he must stay in a camp with you, even if he betrays his original identity and interests.
