"In addition, the Pearl Chamber of Commerce controlled by Princess Pearl will liberalize trade with Jingguo."
Wu Guanhai said apologetically: "Without consulting the Imperial Master beforehand, Guanhai made his own decision. Do you think this is okay?"
Zhao Kang smiled: "There is no need to be so polite between us. Jingguo can use this to plan some interests, and I am very happy. You can't just let me eat meat and you can't even drink the soup, right?"
"Great!" Wu Tianhu gave a thumbs up.
Princess Mingzhu lost to Zhao Kang according to the bet, so Wu Guanhai used this to negotiate, which was strictly speaking unreasonable.
But as Zhao Kang said, the relationship between Qian Guo and Jing Guo is far from as simple as the original alliance due to the close connection between him and Ye Hongxue.
In other words, isn’t Zhao Kang still the national advisor of Jingguo?
Ye Hongxue looked at Wu Guanhai: "Your Highness wants to do business with Qi?"
Wu Guanhai nodded: "Yes, the National Master mentioned in the national policy written to his father that export trade is the way to maximize the national economy."
"To be honest, although we in Jing State are the final winners of that battle, our economic strength is still far behind that of Zhou State and Qi State. In the capital of Zhou State, an ordinary sesame cake can be sold for five cents."
"The price of rice is thirty cents per catty, and it is two years old rice. You must know that even new rice cannot be sold at this price in Jingguo."
"It's not that the things in our Jingguo are cheaper and more affordable than those in the Zhou Kingdom, but that the purchasing power of the people in the Zhou Kingdom is far greater than that in our Jingguo. The money in the hands of the common people has raised prices and increased consumption levels. Isn't this what the national teacher is like? ?”
Zhao Kang nodded with admiration, he is worthy of being a prince!
Now I am afraid that the princes of various countries can only be playthings in front of Wu Guanhai!
This guy can be said to be truly both civil and military, and the best heir to the throne!
At that moment, Wu Guanhai briefly talked about his impressions of everyone at the banquet today, and even some low-ranking officials made comments.
Li Muyi also expressed the same doubts as Zhao Kang.
"Li Chengkun, the Emperor of Zhou, has great courage and strength, he can take things up and let them go. As for the eldest prince Li Muyi, I want to see him. He is also a character that cannot be underestimated. For us, the danger level is far higher than that of the sharp-edged one now." Above Li Musen."
"I think the same way."
Zhao Kang agreed, and then said: "Let's do this for the time being. It's not too late. Let's take a rest tonight. After everything is over, we have to play for two days and then go back."
Wu Guanhai stood up and said: "Then I will go and tell Princess Mingzhu that you agree."
As he spoke, Wu Guanhai glanced enviously at the banknotes laid out by Zhao Kang on the table and sighed in his heart.
Last time, tens of millions were defrauded from Qi State and brought back to Jing State. This time, another ten million were defrauded from Zhou State.
Based on Zhao Kang's temperament, this money will probably be given to the empress to develop the Qian Kingdom.
With such a master of the country who has a good way of making money, there is really no need to worry about money.
You must know that there is a saying in Jingguo that as long as Zhao Kang is here, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue does not have to do anything and wait for his salary.
Short of money?
Zhao Kang knows how to do it!
Zhao Kang smiled and took out the banknotes that had already been counted from his arms and handed them over: "Two clear."
Last time the Qian Kingdom was short of money, Ye Hongxue went to the palace to borrow five million from Wu Rulong after receiving the letter, and asked Qin Yufeng to take it back to the country with him. He has not forgotten it.
Wu Guanhai joked: "If I had known that the imperial master was so capable, when I borrowed the money, I would have returned nine times out of ten!"
Zhao Kang rolled his eyes: "I'm just going to call your kid arrogant!"
Everyone is happy.
The next day.
Zhao Kang got up early and took Ye Hongxue's hand to the courtyard. He had agreed with Wu Guanhai last night that they would have fun together in Yandu today.
A beautiful figure in the courtyard was drinking tea. When she saw Zhao Kang, she snorted softly in her heart, and then deliberately stood up and saluted: "My slave, please pay your respects to Master Zhao."
Who is this person if not Princess Pearl?
Zhao Kang Yile: "It's easy to talk about, but why don't you come to help our master get up?"
Princess Mingzhu was angry: "Master Zhao, you are so hateful. You actually made such a request when so many people! You didn't even discuss it with me beforehand!"
Zhao Kang smiled and said: "Your Highness, this is an unjust accusation. You begged me to save you before. In order to find a way to help you escape from the sea of suffering, I lost a lot of hair in the past few days!"
"You don't want to say thank you, but you blame me instead. Why don't we compete with the Second Highness again, and then I lose to you. Do you want to sit here happily as Princess Zhou?"
"You! I can't speak to you!" Princess Pearl stamped her feet angrily.
"Okay, you got the advantage and behaved." Ye Hongxue smoothed things over, and Zhao Kang stopped teasing him.
Princess Mingzhu then looked at Ye Hongxue and stepped forward with a rather respectful tone: "I didn't expect that you are the female martial arts goddess of Jingguo. You were rude to Yanran a few days ago."
Ye Hongxue smiled calmly: "Your Highness, you are polite, but now that I am no longer a warrior, it would be ridiculous to say that I am not a warrior god."
Regarding the past, Ye Hongxue is also a person who can take up and let go and never regrets.
Princess Mingzhu was stunned. Just as she was about to ask something, she was interrupted by Wu Guanhai's greeting.
"National Master, Your Highness the Princess! It's so early!"
Zhao Kang: "Let's chat for a while, you're so slow."
"How about you go out now?" Princess Mingzhu asked curiously.
Wu Guanhai smiled: "Your Highness is right. We are going to return to China and we plan to take a good tour of Yandu City. Are you interested in joining us?"
"This...then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Princess Mingzhu nodded, staying in this state hotel would be suffocating.
What's more, there are Zhao Kang and others accompanying her, so she also wants to know more about this Qianguo national master.
But no one expected that they would be stopped as soon as they arrived at the door.
A scholar dressed in white and a Confucian shirt at the door was one of the people who participated in the cultural gathering yesterday. He said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, Zhao Guoshi, and the dean have specially sent me to invite you all to go to the academy together."
Everyone was a little surprised, Zhao Kang asked: "Everyone Gongsun?"
The person from the academy nodded and said, "That's right. The dean knows that you will be leaving the Kingdom of Zhou soon, and I am grateful that you may not see each other for a long time, so I specially invite you to the academy as a guest. The carriages and horses have been prepared. Is it okay?"
"What do you say?" Zhao Kang asked. He was still a little interested in the academy. After all, it was not fun to go there.
"Guan Hai has long wanted to see what the academy is like." Wu Guanhai said with a smile.
Princess Mingzhu said: "I can do it."
Ye Hongxue nodded lightly.
Zhao Kang: "Then I'll trouble you."
The person from the academy hurriedly said: "No trouble, no trouble, thank you all, please get in the car."
