Concubine's Pond

"How is it possible?" Luo Ran smiled slightly, and her clear voice smashed into the air word by word like broken jade and ice-"I mean, open the border trade, exchange our Hengyue's grain, salt, oil and cloth for the other party cattle, sheep, and livestock, as well as precious medicinal materials on the snow-capped mountains! Barter for things, everyone gets what they need!"

Open border trade!

Barter for things, get what you need!It is still commodity trade led by grain!

Everyone in the imperial study room was horrified and completely silent!

This, this is such a bold idea!Although commerce is prevalent on the mainland, large-scale cross-border grain transactions have never been banned in the transaction, and criminals who do not obey the ban to smuggle grain for huge profits are strictly guarded, and the laws are extremely strict.Moreover, for thousands of years, no dynasty has ever set such a precedent!

Because this will break the balance of power in a continent!It is intolerable to several great dynasties!

"..."

Is she still too tender?Although the method is good, it did not take into account the reactions of other dynasties other than the Hengyue Dynasty... His eyes narrowed slightly, and Huangfu Ye's thin lips slightly pursed. He wanted to shake his head at Luo Ran to express that this method would not work, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration Thinking of something, he smiled and fell silent.

No, since he proposed this method, it is impossible not to consider all aspects.When had she let him down?If she wasn't very sure, she wouldn't have brought it up at all.

He just needs to trust her and wait quietly for her to tell the result.

Feeling Huangfu Ye's complete trust and unreserved pampering and supportive eyes, Luo Ran smiled at him from the side, as bright as a hundred flowers blooming.

Huangfu Ye took a choked breath, and returned a warm smile that captivated all living beings.His eyes lingered fiercely on her, lingering and weary.

"My lords have such expressions, do you think this boy's proposal is stupid, naive, and reckless?" Luo Ran turned to look at the people below, and the eyes of the people below immediately changed slightly, and they became a little embarrassed.

"I just said that border trade mainly focuses on grain. Is it just trading with the nomadic tribes in the Northeast and the Daliao Dynasty?" Luo Ran smiled calmly, and slightly raised the black eyes behind the silver mask. With a touch of cunning, "In order not to provoke public anger, of course this kind of business has to be done with all the surrounding dynasties! The boy has seen the total harvest of my Hengyue's crops every year. Compared with the other four dynasties' incomes, My Hengyue Dynasty has much more abundant food, local products, relatively smaller population and balanced internal friction, so this business can be done easily."

She picked up the teacup and brought it to her lips and took a sip, "Of course, we must do a good job at this speed, and we must seize the initiative. We must set the prices of our food and other commodities at a very high position, and set the price of our food at a very high level. The items used by the trading party for exchange are nailed to a cheap price, and we use the excess materials that we hoard and use to maximize the acquisition of the other party’s redundant but unimportant materials that are important to us. The most important thing is that border trade It must be in the hands of the imperial court and not in the hands of the major business alliances!"

"This weapon must be in the hands of the imperial court in order to maximize its use and benefits. If merchants want to sell the surplus grain in their hands, they must sell it to the imperial court. Of course, they must be given a price they are satisfied with. And, the This type of grain is designated as [private grain], while the grain from the imperial treasury is designated as [official grain]." After a pause, a chilling smile appeared on Luo Ran's lips, "Then, on the other side, we The imperial court can use this batch of [private food] obtained from the merchants and the [official food] from the imperial court to separately carry out a provocative plan..."

"Provocation plan?"

Ignoring the group of two important ministers who were stunned for a while, their eyes glowing green, and the little nephew in his arms who couldn't keep up with his thinking and listened to the heavenly scriptures, Huangfu Ye raised his eyebrows with great interest, and said playfully Looking at Luo Ran with the corners of her lips curled up, her hot gaze seemed to melt an iceberg: "For example?"

"For example, the [official food] that can be allocated in each season is divided into five equal shares and sold to the four dynasties and the nomadic tribes in the Northeast, and the amount of [private food] must be more than the official food in each season. Separate it and divide it into four parts in total. Each part must be enough to make every dynasty tempted. Then it will be auctioned every six months, two parts at a time, and the highest bidder will get... Food, tell me, what will happen between these dynasties?"

The black pupils curled up, and the smile on Luo Ran's lips became more and more cruel and beautiful, "Naturally, that's all I'm going to say. The specific way to do it depends on the collective efforts of all the adults here."

Hehe, she is only responsible for giving a general direction, she doesn't care about the details.

Hearing the words of the dumbfounded people, he suddenly came back to his senses, and stared at Luo Ran with horror.

This kid, can you stop being so scary?How many shocking things does he have to do!What kind of parents can give birth to this little monster. I really want to cut his head open to see what is inside!So scary, so scary!

The empress dowager weakly pressed her temples, leaned crookedly on the back of the grand master's chair, and sighed silently, alas, she is really not a material who can listen to politics behind the curtain...

"Sorry, my lords, I feel a little unwell right now, so I'm going to apologize first and leave." Luo Ran yawned again, winked at Huangfu Ye, got up gracefully, and directly leave.

All that needs to be said has been said, it's useless to stay, she'd better go back to catch up on sleep, her waist... so sore...

Cursing his lips as he watched her back disappear behind the door, Huangfu Ye raised his eyes faintly, glanced at everyone casually, and said in a deep voice with a double meaning, "You understand?"

"Yes, Your Highness. The ministers will live up to their trust and expectations!" Zhang Shangshu and Lin Shangshu led the people up and bowed in unison, their voices were passionate and powerful, and their faces were glowing red with excitement and determination!

That little monster has given such a clear general direction, if they can't work out some results, they should smash their heads against the pillars and die.

"Well, very good, then the emperor will entrust your lords." Nodding in satisfaction, Huangfu Ye let go of the little emperor and stood up, nodded to the empress dowager faintly, turned around and left, but was caught by a white and tender little hand. Pull the hem of the clothes--

"Little Emperor..." The black-bellied little emperor stood on the chair and shouted softly, with a little anxiety, fear and dependence in his voice.

Although he is only eight years old, he still understands that the children of the royal family are always precocious, and the little emperor's uncle deliberately picked him out of the quilt during the discussion in the imperial study room, which means delegating power...

Huangfu Ye's eyes fluctuated for a moment, but he calmed down quickly. He lowered his head indifferently like snow, patted the little emperor's head lightly, pulled his little hand away, and said coldly: "The one who is hiding under the shelter An eagle will never be able to soar into the sky, and my constant moon royal family will never have such waste."

After saying that, he left without looking back.
