The little medical concubine

Chapter 286 Trading Firm
Was Wanyantuo's face made of the city wall of their house?With such a thick skin, it's no wonder it's not easy for them to attack Xiguo.

"One person for two, and there are two thousand captives, he really dares to change!" Qi Yanling snorted lightly, she really hated Wanyantuo to the extreme, especially last time that damn bitch took advantage of his illness After kissing her, she was so disgusted that she couldn't eat for three days.

Zhao Linxiu knew she would say that, and he smiled, "I asked Cheng Jiaming and Wan Yantuo to ask for three cities. Weizhou is optional, but Qianshui, Zhanping, and Pingsha must be given to me."

"..." Qi Yanling glanced at Zhao Linxiu silently, it turned out that the men in her family were not very thin-skinned, three cities... dare to say.

Zhao Linxiu was amused by her eyes, and kissed her on the cheek a few times, "No more, how can I get what I want."

"What do you want?" Qi Yanling narrowed her eyes slightly, she knew this guy too well, she was the originator of Houheixue, so she definitely didn't know what kind of crooked idea he had.

"Jinkou!" Zhao Linxiu's tone was sure to win.

Qi Yanling froze for a moment, "What are you talking about?"

Zhao Linxiu propped up one knee, put his hands lightly on his knees and tapped, "Jingguo has been at war for the past two years, and the treasury has no money. If a country wants to be strong and prosperous, it must first have money, and if you have money, you will not be afraid of war. Jing Guohai has been banned for so many years, and it is time to open up maritime trade."

"You... want to set up a port in Jinkou?" Qi Yanling remembered that Jinkou was near the sea, and immediately understood what Zhao Linxiu wanted to do.

Zhao Linxiu shook his head, "Do you still remember the thirteen lines you mentioned to me?"

Qi Yanling sat up straight in surprise, "You want to set up a trading firm in Jinkou?"

She remembered that once when she was on a boat with him, she talked about the sea ban, and by the way made up a thirteen-line story, but she didn't expect him to remember it.

The thirteen lines she mentioned refer to the Thirteen Lines in Guangzhou during the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the imperial court opened the sea ban and allowed foreigners to do business. However, foreigners must go through the government's franchise to engage in foreign trade. Hong merchants will set up foreign firms, and the tax collected by the imperial court from these foreigners and merchants is already a sum that cannot be underestimated.

If the imperial court controls the silk and tea business again... Qi Yanling's eyes light up when she thinks about the benefits.

"Trading firms are not easy, you..." Not to mention Zhao Linxiu, maybe no one in the entire Jing Kingdom has such experience. Besides, the sea has been banned for so many years, and many merchants along the coast have colluded with pirates to do business. However, if the imperial court opens a trading firm, it will undoubtedly hit these people's fortunes. It is not so easy to successfully open a trading firm.

Zhao Linxiu knew it was difficult, so he held her hand and kissed her on the lips, "Get the mouth in your hand first and then talk."

"Why does it have to be Jinkou?" There must be quite a few places near the sea in Jingguo.

"Jinkou is adjacent to Dongyue, and Dongyue is connected to Qi State..." Zhao Linxiu explained in a low voice.

Qi Yanling had completely convinced Zhao Linxiu, and she had already imagined everything in just a short time.

Dongyue is a place with very convenient transportation, and the largest ship merchant is there.

Why not just set up the trading firm in East Vietnam?
"Although Dongyue is also near the sea, it is not as accessible as Jinkou. Moreover, Jinkou already has a ready-made port, which can be used only by repairing it." Wanyan Tuo didn't seem to take Jinkou seriously, and didn't use it at all. past that place.

Qi Yanling had nothing to say to Zhao Linxiu, "You are so cunning, do your subjects know?"

"You just need to know." Zhao Linxiu said with a low smile.

"But, who do you want to be in charge of this matter?" Qi Yanling asked curiously.

Zhao Linxiu looked at her with burning eyes.

A black line slid down Qi Yanling's forehead, "Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, aren't you thinking too much?"

"Who knows how to run a trading company well except you? How to open shipping, how to collect taxes, how to get merchants to sign an agreement with the court, Yanyan, no one knows these things except you." Of course he knows that the harem is involved in politics. Not good, but how could his Yanyan be trapped in the palace with nothing to do all her life.

She is a peerless pearl that cannot be hidden, with a brilliance that no one can match.

"Aren't you afraid that those ministers will have opinions?" Qi Yanling asked with a smile.

"If they can do better than you, I will allow them to have opinions." Zhao Linxiu curled his lips into a faint smile.

Anyway, she still doesn't know if she can get Jinkou, so she doesn't have to make a decision at this time, "How about this, I will write a plan first, and outline the process of opening a trading firm, as well as the method of taxation, you will see when the time comes Revise it later."

"Okay!" Zhao Linxiu nodded with a smile.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the day when the Supreme Emperor moved to the palace finally arrived.

Qi Yanling really looked forward to the stars and the moon until today, not because she was unfilial and wanted to send the Supreme Emperor away, but because she was really annoyed by those concubines to the point of going crazy.

She had already pretended to be sick and disappeared, and they could continue to find various reasons to come to see her, nothing more than wanting to use her to introduce the beautiful daughters of their family to her, so that she could train their people to serve the emperor.

She cursed in her heart, if it wasn't for the queen's noble and reserved image, she really wanted to kick them out.

Let her pick Zhao Linxiu's mistress and mistress. Damn, did she lose her mind or have a convulsion?She would choose some woman to send to Zhao Linxiu to consolidate her position when she was full. If her position in Zhao Linxiu's heart needed to be strengthened by other women, she would really die.

She didn't directly crush those women who wanted to get close to Zhao Linxiu to death.

Qi Yanling was slandering in her heart, but she sent off the Supreme Emperor with a submissive and gentle smile on her face. I really hope that this stubborn and cowardly old man who thinks he is strong can take care of his old age in the palace, and stop trying to find any way to disgust them.

"Father, have a good journey." Zhao Linxiu said in a calm tone, not even bothering to pretend to be reluctant.

The Supreme Emperor snorted coldly, glared at Qi Yanling, stepped on the pedals vigorously and got on the seat.

Qi Yanling saluted and sent off with a smile.

From now on, no one will use those court ladies to test her again.

Zhao Linxiu did not take her back to the palace until the Supreme Emperor's seat was no longer visible on the city wall. As soon as she sat down, Zhu Xin walked over and whispered in her ear, "Madam, the eldest young mistress handed over the sign and wants to request see you."

Qi Yanling was slightly taken aback, what could the sister-in-law want from her?

"Let sister-in-law enter the palace tomorrow." Qi Yanling said.
