The first question Chu Qing received after giving the emperor's gift was: "How are you doing a fulfilling life this time after taking leave?"

Chu Qing: “…hehe.”

When it comes to playing rogues, the emperor is the first.

I struggled to leave a far-reaching situation, but the emperor counted it as a holiday. How many working days do I owe you?!

The emperor gave the brocade dungeon and asked him to sit and reply. Chu Qing returned to the restraint he was when he first met the emperor. After thanking him again, he sat on the edge of the brocade and looked like he was countless months ago.

You have to stop when you see it is good, and it is important to be serious.

The emperor asked: "You said in your letter that the trade is convenient for Vos's attack on Daxuan? I want to hear how you made this judgment;

Also, if you ask me to go to Worth to run, you have to give a reason, otherwise, the censors will...that will not be good for you."

Alas, if this was changed to a prime minister, or the chief minister of the cabinet, and the military minister here, it would be more credible that the emperor said, after all, they were the ones who assisted the monarch in charge of national affairs.

As a fifth-rank official who was not qualified to meet an emperor without summoning him, Chu Qing really couldn't accept his affection.

Chu Qing said: "Emperor, although the mutual market is defended by the garrison and the state government offices are controlled by the government, the people of Wos are fierce and conflicts occur from time to time. Every autumn and winter, even if they do not violate the border, there will be group fighting incidents due to transactions, giving both sides a reason to start a war."

Emperor: "What are you talking about in the group fighting caused by transactions? How can there be fighting?"

Chu Qing: "Although Vos has its own agriculture, it is limited by local natural geographical conditions, raw materials and technology and other conditions, making it difficult for many daily necessities to produce themselves, and many daily needs are not met;

Emperor Daxuan, our Daxuan, was wise, focused on agricultural development, developed water conservancy projects, and focused on improving agricultural tools to improve agricultural production efficiency;

The development of agriculture also provides rich material preparations for handicrafts, and handicrafts have achieved many achievements in our promotion..."

Chu Qing flattered seriously, his tone was dry and as if he was reporting his duties without any emotion. The emperor nodded repeatedly: Chu Qing is a real person, just tell the truth!

Chu Qing did not stutter at all and continued to speak: "So, the goods traded on the market are essentially a disadvantage in my Daxuan, because we provide a wide variety of products that can improve their living standards..."

The emperor nodded frequently: "I'm suffering a loss! But since they have taken advantage of it, why can there be an armed fight?"

Chu Qing: "The nature of a merchant is to pursue profit. Since Daxuan merchants cannot exchange for more useful things, they will naturally raise the price of goods;

For example: The Worthsman could only exchange for two stone rice with a good white fox fur. This unequal transaction naturally made the Worthsman feel that it was better to grab it than to change, so he started fighting."

White fox fur is still the best. If you put it in Kyoto, someone will rush to buy one thousand taels. How can you exchange it for two stone rice?

Chu Qing gave this example, and the emperor immediately understood the truth.

The initial purpose of establishing exchanges between the two countries is to make up for each other's needs. For example, Daxuan wants Vos' horses, and Vos wants Vos' iron.

But in fact, these two things are the ones that both parties least want to export to the outside world, so the materials that can be traded are far more abundant than those of Woss.

If you want to trade in a similar way, the Worth people either provide enough money or provide equivalent items. If they can't provide them, they have to grab them.

If this continues, the burden arising from the garrison handling these disputes every day will be self-digested. Wouldn’t it be that the merchants will damage the army?

Once the Worth people are hungry in autumn and winter, they will not follow the trade regulations, and will specifically provoke trouble, and then border friction will occur.

Small-scale conflicts occur from time to time, with dozens or hundreds of people, and they are suppressed by the garrison. Generals and yamen in various places will not report them because it seems that they are incompetent in their control.

If these things are not reported, the emperor will naturally not understand them. After Chu Qing told them, the emperor also felt that this was a problem.

Although the Daxuan disaster this year has been controlled, the food shortages in several prefectures need to be compensated for by more than a dozen prefectures, which is already in short supply.

If the Woss people really come to attack this year, it will be a huge burden for Daxuan.

In fact, this phenomenon occurs in the mutual market, in Chu Qing's opinion, is a hidden danger, but it will not cause adverse results immediately.

It is because Chu Qing harshly exploited the Fourth Prince and was really afraid that he would take revenge. At that time, no matter how Chu Qing used to make trouble, it would be of no use to defend himself.

Emperor: "So, how do you think it should be solved?"

Chu Qing stood up in a hurry: "Your Majesty! I have never read a book, so how can I understand the solution!"

Some questions can be answered, while others cannot.

The emperor couldn't help but lit Chu Qing from a distance: "You! A honest person should not do that cunning thing. You don't pretend to be like you... Just tell me!"

Chu Qing looked puzzled, and seemed to have no idea how to solve such a difficult problem: "Your Majesty, I think there is nothing wrong with our Daxuan merchant doing this. Who made the people of Woth poor?

However, it is really troublesome to have conflicts. In the end, Daxuan merchants made money and wiped their butts... Oh no, after-care, the government office and the army had to bear the losses, such as the soldiers' medical treatment, subsidies, and even pensions;

Moreover, the public opinion caused is not good. The Worth people would say that the Daxuan people were cunning, and the Daxuan people would spread the Wuxi people's barbarity, etc.;

But if the people of Daxuan are encouraged to go to Worth to do business, it is not just a caravan. I mean that like the people of Daxuan, renting shops and doing business, even if they open a tea shop, they can still make money. They will not ask for prices like the same as the mutual market, which is conducive to the peaceful development of the Shuangfa.”

The emperor shook his head: "I'm afraid no one wants to go? Who would leave his hometown and live in the wilderness?"

This is true. It is not that Daxuan people are not allowed to go to Worth. Vorth has also relaxed the policies and allowed the people of Daxuan to enter and exit the country, but no one goes.

People in Vos are willing to come to Daxuan, which has delicious food and good drinks, has relatively convenient life, has abundant food, and is not very expensive to consume.

The emperor reached out and pressed down, indicating that Chu Qing didn't have to be nervous, sat down, and said, "Along with that, you said just now, Vos is a tough people. Even if I go over, it may be difficult for the people to ensure safety."

Chu Qing only looked at the emperor and didn't speak, thinking: Is this something that your emperor can solve?

After Hu Hengqiu finished his business, he came to see the emperor. When he entered the door, he saw Chu Qing staring at the emperor with a thrust.

It’s not that the ministers cannot look at the emperor. In that case, the emperor will not know what he looks like, and it would be even more disrespectful to meet him on another occasion?

Instead, you cannot look at the emperor for a long time, as it will be provocative.

But Chu Qing was staring at the emperor, at least from Hu Hengqiu seeing it, to when he spoke out to salute the emperor, Chu Qing was staring at the emperor for two or three breaths.

Before Hu Hengqiu made a statement, Eunuch Li reported it, but Hu Hengqiu still wanted to speak out, just to remind Chu Qing to withdraw his eyes.

But at this time the emperor seemed to understand Chu Qing's meaning and looked straight at the other party.
