Shen Yu held the teacup in his hand for a while, and he suddenly realized that, as Shang Junlin said, since he entered the palace, everything he did has not been restricted, and even some things about the court, he brought it up. Jun Rin will implement it.

A strange emotion surged up in my heart, sour and hot, and with the action of drinking tea, the gloomy expression on his face was covered for a moment.

"It was Yan who didn't think carefully, and Yan punished himself for a cup as a sign of apology." Yan Zheng's face flashed a trace of unnaturalness, and he picked up the jug and poured a full jug of wine for himself, and drank it all.

"Lin..." Yan Zheng got stuck, facing the handsome young man, he really couldn't say the word "Mrs.".

"Yu," Shang Junlin picked out a chopstick of fish and meat for Shen Yu, "you can just call him Young Master Yu."

"Master Yu."

When it comes to banquets, Yan Zheng has always been generous, and this time he ordered all the famous dishes from Yingxinglou, which cost a lot of money.

Yan Zheng didn't talk about business as soon as he came up, and Shen Yu was not in a hurry. The two sides had almost eaten before they talked about cooperation.

Shen Yu had the intention of cooperation, otherwise he would not have come to see Yan Zheng in person, and asked Manager Xu to send him away. However, his identity is destined to be a lot of things that he cannot take care of himself. If there is a reliable collaborator, It will be much more convenient.

"Where does Young Master Yan want to sell these items?" Putting down his chopsticks, Shen Yu wiped his mouth.

"To be honest, I most want to sell these things outside the customs at a high price." Yan Zheng directly stated his plan.

"Outside the customs?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, "Young Master Yan has a trade route leading to the outside of the customs?"

Due to the loss of a large area of ​​land during the reign of the late emperor, Dahuan did not open up trade routes outside the customs. Of course, he did not explicitly prohibit businessmen from doing business outside the customs. As the relationship between Dahuan and other countries stabilized, he gradually developed special walking The merchants inside and outside Dahuan would sell Dahuan's goods outside the customs at high prices, and then bring back the goods from outside the customs, and they could also sell them at a good price.

It's just risky.

After all, there is no official protection, and the robbers will rob it if you are not careful. The loss of property is small, and even your life is lost.

"There are some ways," Yan Zheng smiled. "Compared to Da Huan, I prefer to earn money from outsiders."

Yan Zheng was obviously prepared in advance, the conversation was clear and organized, Shen Yu would also say some of his own thoughts, and Shang Junlin also joined the discussion, and the final plan was more perfect than the original one.

The smile in Shen Yu's eyes deepened. It's good to cooperate with a smart person. You don't need to bother to explain too much. Just point out a point and the other party can understand what it means.

"It's not convenient for me to come forward often. The specific cooperation matters will be discussed with you by Manager Xu. If you have any other questions, you can directly contact Manager Xu. Regarding the purchase and sale of these items, Manager Xu is in charge." Shen Yu is not good because of this Things often go out of the palace, and he prefers to leave things to the people below rather than personally.

"Okay, I will talk to Shopkeeper Xu about the specifics."

"In addition to those items suitable for women, I also have some other items suitable for sale outside the customs. If there is an opportunity, I look forward to continuing cooperation in the future."

"Yan also hopes to cooperate with Mr. Yu for a long time. By the way, has Mr. Yu heard about the donation order that the court intends to issue recently?"

In fact, the official version has not yet been released, and the Ministry of Household is still discussing specific incentive measures, but some people who are closely related to court officials have already received the news in advance.

For example, Yan Zheng, who had a relationship with the Ministry of Works because of road construction.

After getting this news from the officials he had made friends with, Yan Zheng has been preparing for this matter. He is not short-sighted, and of course he knows how beneficial this matter is to businessmen.

That is directly recognized by the court, which is more useful than dealing with local officials. For them, it is just a little money, and who is not the one who manages, can not only gain a good reputation with the court, why not? for?

"You mean the one who donated to Subei?" Shen Yu didn't expect the Ministry of Household to move so quickly, and the news had already leaked out.

"Yes, I don't know who came up with the method, it's too beneficial for us businessmen. The bosses I know and I have decided to do our best to make a little bit more," Yan Zhengzhuang mentioned casually, "The local The aristocratic family will definitely be willing to help when they get this news, have you heard that there are several families in Jiangbei that have stockpiled a lot of food and plan to sell it to Subei?"

Shen Yu didn't know this, but he remembered that there were several local aristocratic families that suddenly rose up at this time in the previous life, and later provided a lot of convenience to the King of Yue.

"Your Majesty thinks, why did Yan Zheng tell us about the local family?" Shen Yu asked after returning to the Yuzhang Palace.

"He should have revealed it to us on purpose. If I expect it to be good, the Ministry of Household will be able to get the news soon."

The Minister of the Household got the news from the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. After the Ministry of Industry did not reach out to ask the Ministry of Household for money, the relationship between the two eased down and was no longer as volatile as before.

"It's good for them. It's already this time, and they still want to make a lot of money." The Minister of the Household was impatient.

If all the food is not shipped to Subei, I am afraid of such a thing. If the food falls into the hands of the noble family, these people will only keep raising the price in order to make money, and the people will not be able to buy the food.

"Don't be angry, didn't we know this ahead of time? What kind of donation method do you have? Find a way to get them to donate a batch of food at that time." The Minister of Industry comforted.

"I have to find a way to squeeze some more food out of them, but I actually want to make money with my conscience in the Subei drought."

After the minister of the household returned, he immediately called the people from the household to talk about the matter.

In fact, they all know that because of the previous emperor, there were many problems in Dahuan. Compared with the capital, there will only be more problems in the local area. issues that need resolving.

The next day, Shang Junlin received an account of the local donation plan from the Minister of the Household.

After reading it, Rao knew that the Minister of Hu would not let go of this opportunity, and he didn't expect him to be so ruthless.

"Is that so?" Shen Yu came over and took the book from Shang Junlin's hand, "What's written on it?"

"It's from the Minister of the Household," Shang Junlin's eyes overflowed with a smile, "It seems that he was angry."

On the booklet, he wrote what he heard from the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He deeply felt that these noble families had a heart for the country and the people, and planned to help them fulfill their wishes.

After reading it, Shen Yu was delighted: "If those noble families knew that their intentions were misinterpreted like this by the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, their faces would probably be very good-looking."

These people don't care what happens to Subei at all. They just want to take this opportunity to make a big difference. Shang Junlin later sent someone to check. The family in the capital also knows how to restrain themselves. In those places, many of them have already started to buy food. Yes, but the price they offered was a little higher than the market, and the people happily sold the surplus food at home.

If they can't find out in time, when the treasury is empty, these noble families hold enough food in their hands, and the price of food in the market can be controlled by them. At that time, it is time for them to accumulate wealth.

Shen Yu didn't know how the matter of Subei in his previous life was resolved. According to the follow-up development, he thought that many hidden dangers were buried.

"The feudal lord also holds a lot of materials. After so many years of operation, some people's private treasury is even richer than the national treasury. I want to touch them for a day or two."

The vassal king is always a thorn in the heart of the emperor.

"We can't be in a hurry to deal with the vassal king, but we can charge some interest first. After enjoying the convenience of the royal children for so long, it's time for them to do something for Da Huan." Shen Yu hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Ayu is right." Being led astray by Shen Yu's thoughts, Shang Junlin had already begun to imagine what he could take from the vassal king and use it in Subei.

"Does Your Majesty plan to transport these collected materials to the capital and then to Subei?" Shen Yu walked to Shang Junlin and sat down, "If you are in a hurry, Your Majesty might as well transport it directly from the same place, just like this, you need to send a special The officials went to the locality to supervise the matter, and before they arrived in Subei, they were escorted by the local garrison, and when they arrived at the boundary of Subei, they were escorted by the Subei army.”

Shang Junlin pondered for a moment and felt that this was also a solution.

After the Ministry of Household's deliberation, the matter of donating to Subei was brought up in the early court. Although the ministers had already heard the rumors, they still felt unbelievable when they heard it officially.

In particular, the Minister of the Household means that most of the donations come from the people.

It is undeniable that the method proposed by the Minister of the Ministry of Housing can solve the current predicament of the court, but...

"I think it's not right."

"What's wrong?" Hu Bu Shangshu glanced over, "Or does Master Jia come up with a better way? That official is all ears."

"This... How can the court ask for money from the people? Isn't it shameful?"

"Why is this asking for money? Isn't it voluntary? As a Dahuan person, Dahuan is in trouble, so he should do his part, or is it that Master Jia is unwilling to do it?"

"I think this method is very wonderful," the prime minister stood up. "In order to show support, I would like to donate a thousand taels of silver."

The other two cabinet ministers also stood up and expressed their willingness to donate money and food. From the news of the leak of the Ministry of Household, they knew that His Majesty was determined to do this. .

Apart from other things, they also feel that this method is the most beneficial to Dahuan at present. They have already been appointed to the cabinet, and the first thing to ensure is Dahuan's stability.

Under the deliberations of the courtiers, the method proposed by the Minister of the Household has been further improved, and after the final confirmation, it can be implemented externally.

People with connections in the capital heard the wind and began to prepare.

Shang Junlin came back from the court, but did not find Shen Yu in the house: "Where is your honor?"

"See Your Majesty," the palace servant who was stopped hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty is in the small theater over there."

Shang Junlin turned around and went to the small theater. The small theater is north of Yuzhang Palace. Shen Yu seldom went there. Some time ago, he discussed with Shang Junlin to rearrange it.

Before entering, heard the sound of singing from inside.

"When did Ayu like to listen to dramas?" Shang Junlin walked into the small theater, just in time to see Shen Yu bowing his head and saying something to a person in a pink costume.

Before he could get jealous, he saw Shen Yu beckoning to him.

"Come here, Your Majesty, and see how this paragraph can be changed."

"What are you doing?" Shang Junlin didn't know so he walked over.

"Make up a scene for the people of the capital, and let them understand the meaning of what they are going to do before the court order is issued."
