No shortage of walls

Xia Tian cupped his hands. He said:"There was something going on in the court. I don't know if His Highness heard about it, because the Holy One asked about it! My subordinates raised objections." The

Seventh Prince did not know. I was curious that a low-ranking official from the sixth rank could raise objections in front of his father just because he was thoughtful and his handwriting was beautiful. But his father was not angry, which showed that his father also liked him very much. Although he didn't know what was going on, he believed that he was loyal to him and would not hide anything from him. Then he asked:"When did it happen? What happened?"

Xia Tian seemed stunned for a moment, then smiled, still holding his hands. He said:"What happened three days ago, I think my subordinates were so quick that the news has not been transmitted yet, but they have forgotten it. The third prince suggested that in the past year, His Highness sold cereals and other grains from the Xiyan Kingdom to the Eastern Song Dynasty and made a profit of 100 yuan." I received five cents of silver, collected taxes, and proposed to go to Xihu to buy sheep. Because the Holy Heart took care of me, the emperor asked about it, and his subordinates raised objections." The seventh prince frowned. Asked:"Why are you opposed when you can make money?"

Xia Tian said:"Sheep are living animals and it is difficult to cook. If we come here in the summer, the sheep are lambs and we have to raise them. If we come in the autumn, it will be too late. Besides, it will be a hurry all the way." If they are driven, the sheep will become thin. The Eastern Song Dynasty is weird and likes fat and strong sheep. If the Eastern Song Dynasty does not want the sheep because of the thinness, our Xia Kingdom will lose money and have to raise them for another year. If they are fat and strong, they will buy them. Sheep are not a good thing. However, there are some miscellaneous grains in the south of Xihu. My subordinates suggested that I buy some miscellaneous grains and come back. The business road is open and I can sell the goods from Song Dynasty’s workshops. As for the sheep in Xihu, my subordinates also came up with an idea. Xihu himself sent people to come here. Life and death on the road have nothing to do with Xia. No more than a hundred people are allowed to enter, just to borrow the road, but our country of Daxia wants 20% profit. The emperor thinks it is okay, and will probably let the third prince go to meet Xihu Discuss, as for whether Xihu is willing or not, I don’t know now. Whatever, the sheep belongs to Xihu. If you don’t want our Xia Kingdom to make money, it’s impossible to borrow money for nothing. Anyway, the emperor decides the matter, and the taste of my subordinates is too low. Just come up with an idea, and the remaining important officials in the court will each say a word. No one asked the subordinates, and the subordinates did not dare to talk nonsense." The seventh prince smiled and said:"Good idea. Is Xihu willing to give 20% of the profit or does the father want it? Less, that is what the father meant. Is it still early? It has just passed the festival of Master Pangu and Nuwa Empress. This kind of thing makes Xihu think about it. It is impossible to borrow money in vain. Xihu loves wine, and after drinking Xihu can make a lot of money, but it’s a pity that there is not much wine in the Song Dynasty workshop, there is always not enough goods, and there is not enough goods. How on earth did Emperor Song brew such a fine wine? Nowadays, all the turbid wines are dead."

Xia Tian said:"My subordinates don't know, but once this happens, our Daxia country can make a lot of money. I heard that the emperor sent the Ministry of Etiquette to negotiate, and the wine will only be sold for 40% profit. It's cheap, Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Revenue said, in case the jar breaks along the way. , if the damage is too much, you will lose money. Wine is not as easy to transport as soap, and the clay jar is easy to break, so it must be sold at a high price. In a word, if you don’t make money, just don’t sell it. The broken and rotten ones will be blamed on Xihu. Just be willing to sell it. Besides, Xiyan also wants it. Our country, Great Xia, is the richest country in the world. The people in the country are rich and there are many buyers. We don’t have enough goods. Xihu knows this, and his subordinates estimate that most of Xihu agrees. Yes."

The seventh prince nodded. Asked:"Did you ever hear anything in front of Father?"

Xia Tian naturally knew what he was asking. Then he cupped his hands and said:"My subordinate's rank is too low. No one, whether it is His Majesty or the court officials, said anything to me. I just guessed that among the important officials in the court, the old school supports the third prince; while the new nobles think that His Highness is high-spirited. The old school believes that the world will last forever. For thousands of years, growth has always been the most important thing; but the new nobles believe that our country, Daxia, has been the richest country in the world for more than 300 years. It should be that for generations to come, we should be the richest country in the world and the king and father of the country. Naturally, the one with the best ability is required. The court also discussed the waste of the old Liao Dynasty. Whatever the minister said was reasonable; as a king's father, he had no independent opinions. There were so many ministers in the court, and all his words were reasonable.. What should the people do after what the king said? It is normal to destroy the country. Maybe he is a person without independent opinions, so he went crazy and recruited traitorous generals from the Song Dynasty. It should be noted that the second-grade military generals are traitors to the Song Dynasty. It's so embarrassing that it's impossible not to fight back. This kind of person betrayed his motherland just because he was half-ranked. Even if he came to the Liao Kingdom, if the monarch of the Liao Kingdom was a wise king, he wouldn't believe in the important position. That dynasty The court dares to casually use a second-grade military general from another country who betrayed the motherland just because of a trivial matter? A soldier with such magnanimity cannot be trained well, and he might rebel again that day. Therefore, in the court, matters are judged by the ability of the king and father."The new nobles in the court believe that if our country of Great Xia establishes a crown prince, we should establish a capable prince to protect the great cause of our Great Xia for generations to come! Therefore, I believe that your Majesty proposed the establishment of a prince to the ministers in the New Year; firstly, Your Majesty has just passed the fifth year of One hundred thousand years old, youth is in the prime of life. Secondly, it is very likely that he wants to see the princes who are capable and capable. What the king wants is an all-rounder. Not a general with invincible martial arts or a handsome man who can command the three armies."

Xia Tian. At these words, the Seventh Prince's heart suddenly lit up and he nodded. He said:"This makes sense. I, Daxia, have been the richest man in a hundred countries for more than three hundred years. Managing the country depends on ability." He has known since he was a child that although the emperor's brother is the eldest son, he has also assisted his father in handling government affairs for a long time; But the emperor's brother always dared not make the decision in major matters; on the one hand, he was of course afraid that his father would have opinions; on the other hand, the emperor's brother was indeed not as bold as himself when it came to big things. Although he is not as good as the waste of the old Liao, if the waste of the old Liao is mentioned in the court affairs, there is no guarantee that my father and the important officials in the court will not like people who are undecided in trouble.

Especially during the war, I had to think about everything, and by the time I made up my mind, it was already too late.

This is how the old Liao waste died.

It's just that the ministers didn't dare to say it. Now that he is becoming famous, perhaps his father and the important officials in the court have unspoken concerns. If everyone has this concern in their hearts, and the father is in his prime of youth, as long as he has not yet established a prince, as time goes by and the concern continues, it will inevitably not be an opportunity for himself.

Xia Tian cupped his hands. Said:"Your Highness has done great things for the king or for the Great Xia Kingdom. At this moment, you must do the things in your hands well. The reputation among the people and the court will be great. Everyone in the Great Xia Kingdom knows your Highness' ability; first, do the things in hand well." As His Highness's reputation spreads, everything will be left to the Holy Heart and the Holy Judgment. The Holy One, with all the talents in heaven, can make his own decisions." The seventh prince felt that he was justified. Said:"It's just that there are too few goods in the Song Dynasty, there is always not enough goods; now Xiyanjun is my father-in-law, as long as the Song Dynasty has it, I can sell it."

Xia Tian said:"Anyway, I will get it back." Chi, I haven’t seen the Master of the Ministry of Rites of the Song Dynasty. Then go sit down with General Song of Hezhou and have a glass of wine. I think such a big man understands what his subordinates mean without asking him to urge the goods. After drinking too much, Just say a few words casually, it's impossible for him not to understand."

The seventh prince nodded.

Xia Tian handed over and retreated.
