Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 907 Cooperation
As she said this, Mrs. Sun sighed tiredly. She was also disturbed a lot during this time.

If this was a poor relative in the village, he could still curse a few words, but this family is a noble from another country, so it's really hard to say anything.

He Jiuniang smiled and comforted: "I have agreed with Crown Prince Nantai to sign a contract tomorrow, and Xi Teng may also sign it. Just finish this period of time."

"What kind of contract are you signing? Isn't it something bad for us?"

Sun's eyes widened, fearing that her daughter-in-law would agree to their unreasonable request in order to get rid of those two annoying people.

"No, I want to do business with us and buy my seasoning bags and potatoes. I will send someone back to Jingzhou to ask my second brother how much potatoes he still has, and at least half of them will be sold to Nantai and Xiteng."

When she heard that it was business, Mrs. Sun's eyes instantly lit up.

"You mean, our business is going overseas?"

He Jiuniang nodded: "Yes, now is just the beginning, there will be more in the future."

"Okay, okay, okay! I'll tell the old man right now and send someone to deliver a message to the second brother. I'll take care of this. It's not easy for you to be busy for so many days. Go and have a good rest!"

Saying that, he ran out happily.

When I think about them buying their own things, I don't think they are so annoying anymore.

When Lu Baichuan came back in the evening, He Jiuniang told him. Lu Baichuan said: "There are advantages and disadvantages to strengthening trade between countries. We need to discuss it more at the court. Come and talk to me tomorrow morning."

He Jiuniang also meant the same thing. She nodded and said, "Yeah, just look at the arrangements."

She was lying on the chaise longue, her expression a little lazy, her exquisite figure fully exposed. Lu Baichuan's heart moved, and he walked over and picked her up.

"It's getting late, let's take a rest early."

He Jiuniang hooked her hands around his neck and said coquettishly, "I'm so tired, I don't want to move."

"Well, you don't need to move."

The next morning, when Lu Baichuan talked about this matter in the court, he was indeed opposed by many people. It was not that it was not good, but they were worried about safety issues.

It is true that liberalizing trade can promote economic development, but the most important thing is to worry that some people will take the opportunity to enter the country and work as businessmen.

When we were not very liberal before, so many people could come in from Dongting, let alone after it was liberalized?

The country is not yet stable. Opening up trade at this time will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to the country.

The emperor couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he decided to think it over carefully.

After going to court, the emperor specially left Lu Baichuan and several other close ministers to discuss the matter.

The emperor asked: "Why did you suddenly remember this?"

"It was Crown Prince Nantai who took the initiative to approach the minister's wife and wanted to cooperate with my wife in doing business. Princess Xiteng also had the same intention. Madam thought it would be a good idea to liberalize trade, so she asked me to ask the emperor what he wanted."

The meaning is obvious. It depends on whether the emperor wants to cooperate between countries or let them do private business.

The emperor was stunned and looked at the other ministers, wanting to hear their thoughts.

One of them said: "Your Majesty, I think Mrs. Lu's idea is good. As for the issue of border defense, we need to strengthen management. Blind blockade is useless and cannot stop those who are willing to cause trouble."

"Yes, this is a good opportunity. If we increase trade, the country will become richer and stronger."

"But border defense can't be strengthened as soon as it is said to be strengthened. If it were so easy, there wouldn't be so many problems in these years. This cannot be solved overnight."...

Everyone began to discuss that if trade was liberalized, there would be too many things that needed to be done, and it would definitely not be possible to handle it in three or two days.

However, the emperor actually wanted to open up trade. The treasury was empty, so it would be good to make more money.

Kaya also told Denton about this matter. Denton was surprised to learn that during her visit to the Lu family, she was able to get the Lu family to agree to do business with them.

Since Kaya was kidnapped on the day the new emperor ascended the throne, Denton has been feeling guilty, so she doesn't stop herself from doing anything.

Although I felt that it was not good for her to shamelessly go to the Lu family every day, I thought that as long as she was happy, it would be fine and she would be back home soon anyway.

But he never expected that Kaya did not go in vain, but gave the country an opportunity to win this cooperation.

From Denton's point of view, this is not just as simple as doing business, but also a guarantee of maintaining peace. The Lu family's willingness to cooperate with them shows that they will not deal with Xi Teng easily, which is a reassurance for him.

"Princess, why do you suddenly want to do this?"

He was a little surprised, always feeling that the little princess in front of him seemed to have changed somewhere?
Kaya thought for a while and said to him: "I want to do something for the people, and I also want to prove to my father that I can benefit the people not only by getting married."

Denton was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't agree with what she said, she did gain benefits for the country.

"I understand. I will respond to the emperor when we return to Xiteng."

Kaya was very happy. Many things were quietly changing in her heart.

When signing the contract, Denton and Kaya went together. They expressed their gratitude to He Jiuniang and hoped that the cooperation would continue smoothly.

Naturally, He Jiuniang would not deny her face. In order to celebrate, she even invited them to have a meal at home. Overall, she was very happy.

After everyone left, He Jiuniang went to find Lu Xiaoyang.

"Third Aunt, is something wrong?"

He Jiuniang rarely came to see him alone. Today she came to him just after signing a contract with someone. Mostly it was related to business.

"Well, there are some things I want to ask your opinion on."

He Jiuniang sat directly on the chair and motioned for Lu Xiaoyang to sit too.

"Third aunt, tell me."

Lu Xiaoyang was very cautious and his expression was serious.

"You know, we are now cooperating with Nantai and Xiteng. They buy things from us and sell them. I also want to buy some good things from them and sell them back. I have many things to do and cannot go there in person, so I I want you to go.”

Lu Xiaoyang's eyes widened, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. He Jiuniang continued: "Don't speak for now. After I tell you everything, you can think about it and tell me the answer tomorrow."

"You have always been a very good child. You work hard and have a smart mind. You know what you want and know how to make choices. I have watched you grow up. I believe in your abilities and naturally have great respect for you."

"It's a long journey, and I won't be able to come back for half a year, so what I want is to wait for you and Yuexiang to get engaged, and then the two of you will set off together. Of course, I will ask your third uncle to send someone to protect you and ensure your safety. You can do your work with peace of mind.”

"I've finished what I said. You think about it carefully and tell me your decision tomorrow. You can go or not. I respect your choice."
