Chapter 951 Trade
"It seems a little crooked. I will tie it again for Your Majesty."
Liang Chongyue was standing on the palace road. Ping'an, who was standing beside him, lowered his head silently when he heard this.
Although I'm used to it, it's better to pretend I'm not there at this time.
Liang Chongyue was too lazy to argue with Fei He about this matter.
The belt was fastened quickly.
Liang Chongyue thought it was no different from before, so forget it, as long as he was happy.
Everything was the same as usual in the morning court, except that there were less than two months left until the Chinese New Year.
Nowadays, morning court sessions end later and later.
The two small countries conquered in the Western Regions and trade with the Western Regions are both put on the agenda.
Liang Chongyue finished his morning court session and walked down the street. He said to Minglang:
"A few ministers will come over in a while. You just listen on the side. If you have anything to say, talk to me in detail after we're done."
This time when Minglang went out to travel, Liang Chongyue arranged everything for her.
It’s not just for Minglang to go out and have fun.
He has never seen the lives of the lower-class people and spends every day in the palace, a paradise on earth.
Everyone in the capital city admired him, and all the officials in the court spoke in praise of him.
After a long time, you will no longer realize the vastness of the world and the lofty nature of life.
"I know. I'll just sit aside and listen. Even if I hear something I don't like, I won't say anything."
Liang Chongyue nodded in satisfaction, and when she arrived at the Yangxin Palace, she had a simple breakfast with Minglang.
Marquis Ping'an waited outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, waiting for the ministers to have breakfast in the palace, and then led them to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Thank you, Master Ping An."
Hu Jing smiled and stuffed a pastry that he had just tasted delicious into Eunuch Ping'an's arms.
"This cake tastes really good. Master Ping An hasn't had breakfast yet, has he?"
Ping An took it with a smile, wrapped the pastry in a handkerchief and stuffed it into his arms.
"Your Majesty and the Princess Royal are still waiting in the Yangxin Palace. These cakes are delicious. I'll have the eunuch go to the Imperial Kitchen and tell them to prepare some more for you to take back."
The youngest grandson in Hu Jing's family is only three years old, which is the age when he loves to eat these pastries.
"Then I'll have to trouble Eunuch Ping'an."
Ping'an sent the adults to the outside of the Yangxin Palace and walked in first.
"Your Majesty, several ministers have arrived."
Liang Chongyue rinsed his mouth with tea and left the dining room.
"Send them in."
Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon throne, and several ministers walked in one after another from outside.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty."
"Everyone, get up."
After finishing his meal, Minglang went to the outer hall of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and received a look from his mother, the Queen Mother.
He consciously returned to his desk and sat down.
"I asked you to come here today because of the trade with the Western Regions at the beginning of next year."
The six ministers looked at each other, each of them having his own ideas in mind.
"The Western Regions are so desolate that even farming is difficult. If it weren't for Your Majesty's kindness, those small countries in the Western Regions would now only be able to survive by digging for gems."
Hu Jing still didn't quite understand why His Majesty wanted to trade with the Western Regions.
The small countries in the Western Regions are weak, so the gems in the Western Regions are just more beautiful stones.
It is only valuable when it arrives in the capital.
Now, Your Majesty wants to trade with the Western Regions, and send the gems and spices from the Western Regions to Daxia.
In exchange for Daxia's various exquisite silks, porcelains, tea...
There are also various technologies of Daxia, which had to be hidden and not revealed in the past.
Now they are exchanged for gems and spices by the Western Regions.
"It's really a bargain for them."
Hu Jing has been at the forefront of building Daxia in recent years.
He knew better than any of the ministers present that it had not been easy for His Majesty to come this far.
It is not easy for Daxia to reach where it is today.
Upon hearing this, the other ministers did not say a word.
Everyone knows that Hu Jing is a pragmatist and he speaks his mind in front of His Majesty.
Hu Jing can say these words, but they can't.
After all, this is His Majesty's decision, so they came here today.
It is not about discussing with Your Majesty whether this matter can be done.
But to discuss how to proceed with this matter.
"With all the knowledge that the common people know in your hands, open your hands and see what you have in them."
Upon hearing this, Hu Jing opened his hands, but they were empty.
Uncontrollable laughter rang out from the side.
Hu Jing elbowed the person next to him.
"What are you laughing at? Your Majesty is giving me instructions. What do you know?"
"Knowledge trapped in one's hands only traps oneself. Spreading it out benefits the country and the people. Trade does not only help the development of the Western Regions.
This money is earned by merchants in the Western Regions, and also by my people."
A mutually beneficial and win-win situation is just a matter of how much you win.
But if we don't take this step, no one can win.
"Daxia is blessed to have Your Majesty. It is also a blessing for us, your subjects."
Hu Jing was once again shocked by His Majesty's broad-mindedness. What kind of king could have such confidence?
"Alright, stop flattering me. If you have any questions about trade, I will explain them to you."
Under normal circumstances, Liang Chongyue would never have such free time.
However, trade matters are cumbersome and complicated, and the six ministers are considered her personal guards in the court.
If they don't understand the reason behind this, it will be difficult for this matter to continue.
Minglang sat at the desk nearby and watched this scene, unable to hide his admiration for his mother.
Such a capable and broad-minded woman is not only the queen of Daxia.
Or her mother.
Just thinking about this makes me feel like my face is covered with gold flakes, sparkling.
Several ministers looked at each other.
"Your Majesty, with just a few words, you have resolved the doubts in our hearts. We no longer have any questions."
Lou Xiao was the Minister of Personnel, and he said he understood.
If other people don’t understand, that would be his concern.
Liang Chongyue only said some things once.
"Well, you all have things to do before the New Year, so I'll give you some leeway. Submit the memorial before the last morning court session before the New Year."
This period of time was already considered relaxed, but there was no precedent in Daxia's history of trading with other countries.
They had to find a way to write these six memorials themselves.
"Yes, I will take your orders."
......
The conversation lasted until almost noon.
In addition to trade with the Western Regions, there are many other things.
When the six ministers came out of the Yangxin Palace, their faces were three times paler than in the morning.
"Six ministers, wait a minute."
Ping'an quickly chased out from the side hall, followed by six young eunuchs.
When the six ministers heard the words "wait a minute", they all stood there for two seconds before turning around.
"I wonder what's going on, Master Ping An?"
Ping'an ordered someone to deliver the food boxes to the adults.
"These are the cakes prepared by the imperial kitchen. Thank you for your hard work today, my lords."
