Farmer's pretty businesswoman

Chapter 237 Reward (1)
The queen mother was stunned for a moment, and raised her eyes to meet the emperor's eyes, and soon she laughed a few times happily, and said: "Hehe! It is said that the girl is a caring little padded jacket for the mother. This is true. It's not like your imperial brother, Aijia wants to chat with him, but he can't spare the time."

Shangguan Chuchu smiled and glanced at the emperor, then looked at the queen mother, and said: "Queen mother, the emperor's brother is also for the well-being of the people in the world. Now under the management of the emperor's brother in the Mulan Dynasty, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the folk customs are simple. Ruyi I believe that under the leadership of the emperor, the Mulan dynasty will definitely become the most powerful dynasty among the nations."

As soon as the tall hat was put on, the emperor and the queen mother immediately laughed from ear to ear.

After a while, the emperor changed his closeness just now, looked at Shangguan Chuchu with a serious face, and asked: "Ruyi, are you willing to do your part for the people of the world and share some worries for the emperor?"

Shangguan Chuchu stood up with a surprised face, knelt down on the ground with a plop, looked at the emperor respectfully, and said, "Brother emperor, Ruyi is a girl with no strength to restrain a chicken, and no sense of ink in her chest. If you have the heart, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on the big responsibility."

It is necessary to decline politely. At this time, she has to belittle herself explicitly and elevate herself secretly.If he wants her to help him, she has to benefit, doesn't she?

The emperor stretched out his hand to signal her to get up, rolled his eyes, and said plainly, "Ruyi, get up. I knew something about you in Haiping County when I sent someone to look for you for Prince Mu. In the early stage, Hailang also mentioned you when he reported his work. I believe in Hailang's vision, and even more in Master Lingze's words."

Shangguan Chuchu frowned, even though she knew all of her whereabouts were controlled by the emperor, but hearing him say it now, she still felt a little awkward and unhappy.

You sent people to spy on me, so why did you have to speak so nicely, under the banner of finding a daughter for my father?
"I don't know what the emperor wants Ruyi to do?"

"Control the financial affairs of this dynasty." The emperor stopped beating around the bush, looked at Shangguan Chuchu and continued: "I have seen the loyalty of Prince Mu's mansion. Now that I have just ascended the throne, my foundation is not stable, and my military power is at stake. Master, I am very relieved, but..."

The emperor stopped and looked up at Shangguan Chuchu. Seeing that she was listening carefully, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I'm worried about Prince Lan's mansion! So, I want the imperial sister to join hands with private merchants to replace I accumulate the national treasury, and at the same time, let the people live and work in peace and contentment.”

He had a feeling that Shangguan Chuchu had understood what he meant early on, but he was just pretending to be stupid and unwilling to talk.

Shangguan Chuchu didn't respond immediately, but lowered his eyes and thought for a long time. The main hall of Ci'an Palace was silent for a while, and a needle could be heard.The emperor, the queen mother, even Nanny Shui and Eunuch Zhuo couldn't help turning their eyes to Shangguan Chuchu, looking at her without blinking.

Counting the time secretly, Shangguan Chuchu felt that there was enough time to think about it, so she stood up and knelt down respectfully towards the emperor, "Brother Emperor has great expectations for Ruyi, and Ruyi shouldn't refuse. But if Ruyi is alone I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I can't match the obstruction of someone with a heart."

The people in the Lan Palace are not fools, their ancestors have been merchants for generations, back then, the late emperor's uprising relied on the financial support of the Lan Mansion.

If she messes around in the business world, the people in Prince Lan's Mansion will definitely notice. Once he finds out any clues, even if she has thousands of business records in her chest, she may not be able to match Lord Lan, a powerful local snake.

Seeing that the emperor's face changed a few times, Shangguan Chuchu continued, saying: "If the people in Prince Lan's Mansion know that this is the emperor's intention, I'm afraid they won't let it go."

The empress dowager looked at the emperor in horror, and seeing the frown of the emperor, she turned her head to look at Shangguan Chuchu, and asked, "Is there a good way for Ruyi?"

"It's not that there is no way." Shangguan Chuchu put it off.

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes showed surprise, and he repeatedly urged: "Sister, just tell me and listen. If there is anything that needs my assistance, I will definitely send someone to cooperate unconditionally."

Shangguan Chuchu's eyes were shining brightly, she curled her lips into a smile, and said, "Promote foreign trade!"

"Promote foreign trade?" The emperor and the queen mother asked in unison, looking at Shangguan Chuchu together.

"Of course, it is not easy to promote foreign trade. Everything has to be well-known, otherwise it will only scare the snake."

"If you wish, please let me know." The emperor couldn't wait, he longed for the moment when he could fully control the Mulan Dynasty, and he couldn't allow others to stare at his throne.

"We want to build a wharf and conduct business by sea and air. Not only do we need to import things from Western countries, but we also need to sell our products to Western countries. Of course, we have to rebuild the tax rate, and we can separately revise the import and export tax applicable to trade. "Brother Huang, do you still remember when Ruyi came back on the first day, he talked about the marketing of goods in Western countries?"

"The memory is still fresh."

"We can sign exclusive agency rights with Western countries. If other countries want to import Western products, they must import them from us. In this way, we can not only earn a sum of import taxes from Western countries, but also Earn the price difference from it.”

The emperor and the queen mother stared at Shangguan Chuchu with wide eyes, and really couldn't believe that there were so many unique insights in her little head.No wonder Master Lingze said that she was the rising star of Mulan Dynasty. Now it seems that what Master Lingze said is true.

"But how do we do business with the West?"

"I go."

"You go?" The queen mother and the emperor looked at each other, the queen mother shook her head, and said, "How can this be done? Ruyi is a golden branch and jade leaf, how can you let you go across the Pacific Ocean? The Ai family is worried! The Ai family is also reluctant!"

Shangguan Chuchu smiled and said: "Mother, since we want to make friends with others sincerely, of course we must show our sincerity. My idea is that this time I will go to the western country at sea. I still need to prepare gifts and be accompanied by officials. I will go together."

"What the imperial sister said is very true. The two dynasties are intersecting. It is indeed necessary to send important ministers to show sincerity." The emperor nodded repeatedly, and then asked: "Then according to the imperial sister, which minister should be accompanied to the Western Kingdom? "

"Lord Hailang." Seeing the confusion of the emperor and the Empress Dowager, Shangguan Chuchu explained with a smile: "Master Hai is very familiar with the climate and wind direction at sea, and he has a richer understanding of the sea than other officials. If you go under the banner of exchanges between the two Koreas, you can't go with someone who knows nothing about the sea."

Although the focus of her trip was on business, but if the matter is not negotiated for a day, the news cannot be leaked out.

Who can guarantee that people in other countries do not have these ideas?
Will the people in Prince Lan's Mansion not be suspicious?

Thinking of this, Shangguan Chuchu said again: "Brother Huang, this matter should not be announced too hastily. I think we should keep it a secret before it is done." In this way, she secretly went to Haiping County and then went to sea with Hailang. In this case, it can be more deceptive.
