Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 430 Invitation

"In addition, the Pearl Chamber of Commerce controlled by Princess Pearl will liberalize trade with Jingguo."

Wu Guanhai said apologetically: "Without consulting the Imperial Master beforehand, Guanhai made his own decision. Can you agree?"

Zhao Kang smiled: "There is no need to be so polite between us. Jingguo can use this to plan some interests, and I am very happy. You can't just let me eat meat and you won't even drink the soup, right?"

"Great!" Wu Tianhu gave a thumbs up.

Princess Mingzhu lost to Zhao Kang according to the bet, so Wu Guanhai went to negotiate with her, which was strictly speaking unreasonable.

But as Zhao Kang said, the relationship between Qian Guo and Jing Guo is far from as simple as the original alliance due to the close connection between him and Ye Hongxue.

In other words, isn’t Zhao Kang still the national advisor of Jingguo?

Ye Hongxue looked at Wu Guanhai: "Your Highness wants to do business with Qi?"

Wu Guanhai nodded: "Yes, the national master mentioned in the national policy written to his father that export trade is the way to maximize the national economy."

"To be honest, although our Jing State is now the final winner of that battle, in terms of economic strength, it is still far behind Zhou State and Qi State. In the capital of Zhou State, an ordinary sesame cake can be sold for five cents."

"The price of rice is thirty cents per catty, and it's still two years old rice. You know, even new rice can't be sold at this price in Jingguo."

"It's not that the things in our Jingguo are cheaper and more affordable than those in the Zhou Kingdom, but that the purchasing power of the people in the Zhou Kingdom is far greater than that in our Jingguo. The money in the hands of the people has raised prices and increased consumption levels. Isn't this what the national teacher is like? ?”

Zhao Kang nodded with admiration, he is worthy of being a prince!
Now I am afraid that the princes of various countries can only be playthings in front of Wu Guanhai!

This guy can be said to be truly both civil and military, and the best heir to the throne!
At that moment, Wu Guanhai briefly talked about his impressions of everyone at the banquet today, and even some low-ranking officials made comments.

Li Muyi also expressed the same doubts as Zhao Kang.

"Emperor Zhou Li Chengkun has great courage and strength, and he can take up and let go. As for the eldest prince Li Muyi, he is also a character that should not be underestimated. For us, the danger level is far higher than that of the sharp-edged one now. Above Li Musen."

"I feel the same way."

Zhao Kang agreed, and then said: "Let's do this for the time being. It's not too late. Let's take a rest tonight. After everything is over, we have to play for two days and then go back."

Wu Guanhai stood up and said: "Then I will go and tell Princess Mingzhu that you agree."

As he spoke, Wu Guanhai glanced enviously at the banknotes laid out by Zhao Kang on the table and sighed in his heart.

Last time, tens of millions were cheated from Qi State and brought back to Jing State. This time, another 1000 million were cheated from Zhou State.

Based on Zhao Kang's temperament, this money will probably be given to the empress to develop the Qian Kingdom.

With such a well-educated Imperial Master, there is really no need to worry about money.

You must know that there is a saying in Jingguo that as long as Zhao Kang is here, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue does not have to do anything and wait for his salary.

Bad money?

Zhao Kang knows how to do it!

Zhao Kang smiled and took out the banknotes that had already been counted from his arms and handed them over: "Two clear."

The last time Qianguo was short of money, Ye Hongxue went to the palace to borrow 500 million from Wu Rulong after receiving the letter, and asked Qin Yufeng to take it back to the country with him. He has not forgotten it.

Wu Guanhai joked: "If I had known that the Imperial Master was so capable, when I borrowed the money, I would have returned nine times out of ten!"

Zhao Kang rolled his eyes: "I'm just going to call your kid arrogant!"

Everyone is happy.The next day.

Zhao Kang got up early and took Ye Hongxue's hand to the courtyard. He had agreed with Wu Guanhai last night that they would have fun together in Yandu today.

A beautiful figure in the courtyard was drinking tea. When she saw Zhao Kang, she snorted softly in her heart, then deliberately stood up and saluted: "My slave, please pay your respects to Master Zhao."

Who is this person if not Princess Pearl?
Zhao Kang Yile: "It's easy to talk about, but why don't you come to help our master get up?"

Princess Mingzhu was angry: "Master Zhao, you are so hateful. You actually made such a request when so many people! You didn't even discuss it with me beforehand!"

Zhao Kang smiled and said: "Your Highness, this is an unjust accusation. You begged me to save you before. In order to find a way to help you escape from the sea of ​​suffering, I lost a lot of hair in the past few days!"

"It's better that you don't say thank you, but instead blame me. How about we compete with the Second Highness again, and then I lose to you. Do you want to sit here happily as Princess Zhou?"

"You! I can't defeat you!" Princess Mingzhu stamped her feet angrily.

"Okay, you got the advantage and behaved." Ye Hongxue smoothed things over, and Zhao Kang stopped teasing him.

Princess Mingzhu then looked at Ye Hongxue and stepped forward with a rather respectful tone: "I didn't expect that you are the female martial arts goddess of Jingguo. You were rude to Yanran a few days ago."

Ye Hongxue smiled calmly: "Your Highness, you are polite, but now that I am no longer a warrior, it would be ridiculous to say that I am not a warrior god."

As for the past, Ye Hongxue is also a person who can take it up and let it go and never regrets it.

Princess Mingzhu was stunned. Just as she was about to ask something, she was interrupted by Wu Guanhai's greeting.

"National Master, Your Highness the Princess! It's so early!"

Zhao Kang: "Let's chat for a while, you're so slow."

"How about you guys go out?" Princess Mingzhu asked curiously.

Wu Guanhai smiled: "Your Highness is right. We are about to return to China and we plan to take a good tour of Yandu City. Are you interested in joining us?"

"This...then it's better to be respectful than obey orders." Princess Mingzhu nodded, staying in this state hotel would be suffocating.

What's more, there are Zhao Kang and others accompanying her, so she also wants to know more about this Qianguo national master.

But no one expected that they would be stopped as soon as they arrived at the door.

A scholar in white clothes at the door was one of the people who participated in the cultural gathering yesterday. He said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, Zhao Guoshi, and the dean have specially sent me to invite you all to go to the academy together."

Everyone was a little surprised, Zhao Kang asked: "Everyone Gongsun?"

The person from the academy nodded and said, "That's right. The dean knows that you will be leaving the Kingdom of Zhou soon, and I am grateful that you may not see each other for a long time, so I specially invite you to the academy as a guest. The carriages and horses are ready. Is it okay?"

"What do you say?" Zhao Kang asked. He was still somewhat interested in the academy. After all, where could he go for fun?

"Guan Hai has long wanted to see what the academy is like." Wu Guanhai said with a smile.

Princess Mingzhu said: "I can do it."

Ye Hongxue nodded slightly.

Zhao Kang: "Then I'll trouble you."

The person from the academy hurriedly said: "No trouble, no trouble. Thank you very much. Please get in the car."
