T-Scroll, Section 92: Inducement and Anti-Inducement
He looked up and down at the other party rudely, and Feng Ziying said without any extra words, "Prince, are you asking for your Majesty or asking for yourself?"
"Oh?" King Zhongshun became interested after being stunned. "So what if you ask for the emperor's brother, so what if you ask for me?"
"If you ask for it for the emperor, I have reported to the emperor before. How to do it and what strategy to use depends on the emperor. If it is the prince who asks for himself, it is simple, it depends on what the prince wants."
Feng Ziying became more and more relaxed and could even pick up the teacup and take a sip.
King Zhongshun's narrow eyes flashed in his eyes, and he also picked up the teacup and took a sip.
This guy's rhetoric question made him dare not speak easily.
The same is true for choosing a monarch and a minister to choose a monarch.
King Zhongshun thought he was qualified to get involved, but he did not think that he was the only choice.
Feng Ziying is now at its peak, and there are so many people who want to get involved. Even the emperor is still considering how to participate.
It’s not that the emperor’s brother is not qualified, but that the emperor’s brother needs to worry about too many issues.
Similarly, King Zhongshun had ideas, but also had concerns.
He is now highly valued by the emperor's brother, and even some important and secret matters are handed over to him to deal with, but he is prepared for danger in times of peace. King Zhongshun is very clear about the royal affairs. The heavenly family has no kindness, and even if there is, it will never be delayed on him.
The emperor's brother's body is also very clear. He looks pretty good now, but his body is weak inside and he is tired. The emperor himself is very clear, so he pays great attention to maintenance now.
Once the emperor's brother passes away, no matter which emperor's nephew takes over the throne, he will probably no longer value his family as much as he does now.
Besides, I have thirteen sons, four daughters, and seven underage sons. Thinking of this, King Zhongshun was worried that the legitimate sons and illegitimate sons were all sons. If I lose power in the future, how can I live this life?
Thirteen sons are the eldest sons who can inherit the family business, so what about the other twelve sons?
Especially the sons born to several concubines, the pillow wind is blowing now, and they are clamoring in their ears all day long, asking to buy some industries for them. Otherwise, in the future, would they really have to pay the little salary paid by the clan mansion every year to drink the northwest wind?
Look at my cousins, that is, the sons of my father and brothers, how many of them can still make a living like a person? Many of them have become sellers and houses for a living.
At the end of each year, many people even go to the sect's mansion or palace to cry and ask for some rewards, otherwise they will not be able to celebrate the New Year.
When my father was there, he could still give him some money every year, but after the emperor ascended the throne, there was no such good thing again. He was mostly just a few taels of silver to be given away.
This has not included Emperor Tianping and Emperor Guangyuan, which is the descendant of the Emperor's great-grandfather and Emperor's great-grandfather. It is said that many people have already been in a state of fighting Fenghe and gangs everywhere.
Over the years, many people have relied on their surname Zhang, who are from the Taizu lineage. They have come to beat Feng and give him favors at the end of the year, and King Zhongshun is too lazy to see him.
In terms of seniority, some of them can be called their own generation, but there are still many people who can't afford to eat.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has only been established for many years, and it has been less than a hundred years. It is said that the clan mansion has counted that starting from the generation of Taizu and Uncle brothers, the number of people in the royal family can exceed 1,000, and there are many concubines, so I simply refuse to admit it. Whatever love is, it is chilling to think about it.
King Zhongshun could not control so many other families, but he had so many sons here, so he had to think more about his son and think more about his son. He could not close his eyes, but his sons and grandchildren fell to begging along the street, right?
He also heard some other meanings hidden in Feng Ziying's words. Well, he hasn't yet appreciated the meaning.
"What do you want?" King Zhongshun slowly chewed the question, pursed his lips before putting down the teacup again: "Ziying, I am stupid and don't quite understand what this sentence means."
"Your Majesty, it's simple. If you just want a way to make money, don't get involved in Liaodong trade and trade with North Korea and Japan. The first is complicated and the second is long, and there will inevitably be some twists and turns. Ziying shows you a way. In fact, you may also know that it's a silver dealer, and you dare not say a lot of money, but it's a hen that keeps laying golden eggs."
Feng Ziying's slightly relaxed tone made King Zhongshun jump a few times without competing. Isn't this what he most longed for?
He couldn't care about his daughter, at most he would get a dowry and choose a good family. He knew that Feng Ziying, a civil servant, would never be able to marry a daughter from the royal family to delay his future. Otherwise, he would tie this guy up even if he had too many dowry.
There are a few thirteen sons who can become talents, but King Zhongshun himself didn't know. He thought it would be good to have a fraction of them. What should I do if the other ten are going to do? If this is to be made, I am afraid that before I can close my eyes, I will have to make a mess.
舔了舔嘴唇,这是忠顺王紧张兴奋激动的习惯,小时候没少因为这个习惯挨揍,虽说随着年龄增长,这个习惯动作日渐少见,但是到了这等时候,还是控制不住.
"What if I am not satisfied with this? I want to hear, what else can I do and what can I get besides this golden egg hen?"
At this time, King Zhongshun's tone was already very serious and solemn, no longer as relaxed and casual as before, his eyes gathered on Feng Ziying's face.
Feng Ziying was still the same as me, and even picked up a piece of tea and stuffed it into her mouth and tasted it.
This is a bit rude.
If you are not a very familiar or close friend, you usually just drink tea when you are in tea. If you say that there are huge differences in status or relationships, even serving tea is a decoration, but Feng Ziying seems to have regarded herself as a regular guest.
But King Zhongshun did not think it was offended and was even a little happy, which showed that the other party did not treat him as an outsider and was even willing to further communicate with him at a deeper level, which was the most willing.
"How about it, what about the tea fruits in Gufu? This lotus root powder ocs sugar cake, the lotus root powder comes from Baoying, and the osmanthus candy is even produced by famous artists of Weiyang. This chestnut flour cake is made in-house, so try it."
King Zhongshun himself felt strange. He even advised people to have some tea. He was also a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old. Well, that's right, young people like this kind of desire. If someone of his age is just a tea.
"Well, it's really delicious, there's no such delicious food in Ziying's mansion." Feng Ziying smiled and ate it, then turned back to the topic: "If the prince wants to share the worries for the emperor and hopes that his future descendants can have some success, then you might as well spend some time on the sea trade with North Korea and Japan."
"Oh?!" King Zhongshun was greatly inspired and sharing his worries for the emperor means that he could have more things to do, and the next sentence made him even more moved. If he could have some success in his son, it would have solved a big problem for him.
Before Feng Ziying came to the Zhongshun Palace, he had already felt confident, and he also had an understanding of the situation of the Zhongshun King.
In addition to the three legitimate sons, there are ten sons born in illegitimate sons. Among them, the eldest son will succeed the throne in the future, there are twelve others. Among these twelve, the second legitimate son and the third legitimate son are already sixteen years old. The oldest son is almost thirty, and even two sons are there.
"I hope to hear the details." King Zhongshun was really moved. Before, he really wanted to get involved and make money, but now he felt that maybe he had really found the right thing to find Feng Ziying this time, and maybe he really gained more.
"The prince should be clear about the matter of the Yinzhuang. Ziying is not afraid to say yet. Let's see the emperor's final decision. The prince might as well follow the emperor's measures. This account can be calculated openly. If the Denglai Shipyard takes orders based on the imperial naval fleet as the basis, and it will also clearly grant the Hokkien to Liaodong, North Korea and Japan, and even bypass North Korea. The Savage Jurchen tribe exclusive rights for the sea trade,..."
"..., I dare not say it within one or two years, but once the route of North Korea, Japan, Hokkien and the savage Jurchens further north are opened, the ginseng, fur, gold sand, mountain goods, and medicinal materials in the bitter and cold places can come continuously. Our Zhou Dynasty only needs to pay our most ordinary porcelain, salt, iron, etc., which can be said to be a huge profit. From shipbuilding to opening up trade, this trade line will be borrowed from the silver merchants. The prince can imagine... "
To fool people, you need to have seven true and three false, seven points, and three points, two and a half true and half false, only one point is false, but this point is very important.
Most of Feng Ziying's words are correct, they are all true. Trade with Japan, North Korea, Hokkien and even the savage Jurchen must be profitable, but there are many problems here, so Feng Ziying naturally won't mention them.
First, time is more than one or two years, and I am afraid it may not be completely opened in three or five years. Second, the volume of trade is meaningless if it is a small scale, and it takes time to expand the trade volume. Third, trade between North Korea and Japan cannot be easily opened.
But once the navy truly grows and grows, if trade is hindered, it means that swords and cannons must be used to open the gates of North Korea, Japan and even more countries.
In this process, there will definitely be many oppositions, and only by connecting more supporters can we fight against the power of these oppositions.
Feng Ziying is still uncertain where the opposition will come from, civil officials, gentry, generals, military honors behind them, or other merchants, or even emperors who have not been able to gain benefits.
As the situation develops, friends can become allies or enemies, and allies can turn against each other and become enemies. Everything depends on the interests at that time.
But one thing will not change, allowing you to pull more people into becoming allies, so for the sake of interests, he must maintain the same camp as you, even if he betrays his original identity and interests.
