"How is that possible?" Luo Ran smiled slightly, and his clear voice hit the air word by word like jade breaking ice - "What I mean is to open up border trade and exchange our Hengyue's food, salt, oil and cloth for the other party.

The cattle, sheep and livestock as well as the precious medicinal materials on the snow-capped mountains! Exchange things for things, and everyone gets what they need!"

Open border trade!

Bartering for goods, everyone gets what they need! It’s still commodity trade, led by food!

Everyone in the royal study was horrified and fell into silence!

This, this is such a bold idea! Although commerce is prevalent on the mainland, large-scale cross-border transactions of grain have always been prohibited, and lawbreakers who do not obey the ban and smuggle grain for huge profits are severely punished. The law is strict.

Extremely harsh. Moreover, for thousands of years, no dynasty has ever set such a precedent!

Because this will break the balance of power in a continent! This is something that several major dynasties cannot tolerate!

"..."

Is she still too young? Although the method is good, it does not take into account the reaction of the dynasty forces other than the Hengyue Dynasty... His eyes narrowed slightly, Huangfuye pursed his thin lips slightly, and he wanted to shake his head at Luo Ran to show that this method would work.

I didn't understand, but suddenly I thought of something, smiled and fell silent.

No, since his Ran'er proposed this method, it was impossible not to consider all aspects. When had she ever let him down? If she wasn't very sure, she wouldn't have proposed it at all.

He just needs to believe her and wait quietly for her to tell the result.

Feeling Huangfu Ye's complete trust and unreserved doting and supporting gaze, Luo Ran smiled sideways at him, as bright as a hundred flowers in full bloom.

Huangfu Ye choked for breath and responded with a warm smile that captivated all living beings. His eyes entangled her lovingly, lingering and tired.

"My lords, with such expressions, do you think that the method proposed by this boy is stupid, naive, and daring?" Luo Ran turned to look at the people below, who immediately changed their eyes slightly and began to chatter.

"I just said that food is the main commodity in border trade. Are they just trading with the nomadic tribes in the Northeast and the Liao Dynasty?" Luo Ran smiled calmly and raised the black pupils behind the silver mask slightly.

Revealing a hint of cunning, "In order not to provoke public anger, of course this kind of business must be done with all the surrounding dynasties! I have seen the total harvest of crops in Heng Yue every year. Compared with the other four dynasties, they cannot make ends meet.

Our Hengyue Dynasty has much more abundant food, customs, and products, but the population is relatively small, and the internal friction is very balanced, so this business can be done well."

She raised the tea cup to her lips and took a sip, "Of course, we have to do this well, and we have to take the initiative, and set the price of our grain and other commodities at an extremely high level.

The items exchanged by the transaction parties are fixed at cheap prices, and we use some of the excess materials that we have hoarded and unused to maximize the capture of the other party's excess but unimportant materials that are important to us. The most important thing is that border trade can be carried out

It must be in the hands of the imperial court, not the major business alliances!"

"This weapon must be in the hands of the imperial court in order to maximize its use and benefits. If merchants want to sell the surplus grain they have hoarded, they must sell it to the imperial court. Of course, they must give them a satisfactory price. And, will

This type of food is designated as [private food], while the food from the imperial treasury is designated as [official food]." After a pause, a chilling and cold smile appeared on Luo Ran's lips, "Then, on the other side, we

The imperial court can use this batch of [private food] obtained from merchants and the [official food] issued by the court to carry out provocation plans..."

"Provocation plan?"

Ignoring the two important ministers who were stunned for a moment and whose eyes were about to glow green, as well as the little nephew in his arms who could no longer keep up with his thinking, Huangfu Ye raised his eyebrows with interest and said playfully

He looked at Luo Ran with the corners of his lips curled up, his hot eyes seeming to melt icebergs: "What about?"

"For example, the [official grain] that can be produced every season is divided into five equal parts and sold to the four dynasties and the northeastern nomadic tribes respectively. The amount of [private grain] must be more than the official grain in each season. It must be

Separate it and divide it into four parts in total. The weight of each part must be enough to attract every dynasty. Then it will be auctioned every six months, two parts at a time, and the one with the highest price will get it... In this way, in order to compete for more

Food, tell me, what will happen between these dynasties?"

The black pupils were curved, and the smile on Luo Ran's lips became more cruel and beautiful, "Of course, I will just say that. How to do it specifically depends on the collective efforts of all the adults sitting here."

Haha, she is only responsible for giving a general direction, she doesn't care about the details.

When everyone who was stunned heard this, they suddenly came back to their senses and stared at Luo Ran with horror.

Can this kid not be so scary? How many more shocking things is he going to do? What kind of parents can give birth to such a little monster? I really want to open his head and see.

What are the things in there? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! It’s so scary, so scary!

The Empress Dowager pressed her temples feebly, leaned crookedly on the back of the Grand Master's chair, and lamented silently, alas, she really wasn't someone who could listen to politics behind the curtain...

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, I'm feeling a little unwell right now, so I'll excuse myself and leave." Another wave of sleepiness came over him, Luo Ran yawned, winked at Huangfu Ye, stood up coolly, and went straight to

Flash people.

Having said all that needs to be said, there is no use staying here. She should just go back and catch up on her sleep. Her waist... is so sore...

He hooked his lips and watched her disappear behind the door. Huangfuye raised his eyes lightly, glanced at everyone casually, and said in a deep voice with a pun, "Do you understand?"

"Yes, Your Highness. I will live up to the trust and expectations!" Zhang Shangshu and Lin Shangshu led the people to stand up and bow in salute. Their voices were passionate and powerful, and their faces were glowing with excitement and determination!

That little monster has given such a clear general direction. If they still can't make some achievements, they should hit the pillar and die.

"Well, very good, then the emperor will leave it to you all." Nodding with satisfaction, Huangfu Ye let go of the little emperor and stood up. He nodded lightly to the empress dowager, turned around and left, but was unexpectedly touched by a white and tender little hand.

Hold the hem of your clothes——

"Uncle Emperor..." The sinister little emperor stood on the chair and shouted softly, with a hint of uneasiness, fear and dependence in his voice.

Although he is only eight years old, he still understands that the children of the royal family are always precocious. The little emperor's uncle specially took him out of the bed during the discussion in the imperial study room this time, which meant delegating power...

Huangfuye's eyes fluctuated for a moment, but he soon calmed down. He lowered his head as indifferently as snow, patted the little emperor's head gently, pulled away his little hand, and said coldly: "Hiding under the protection.

An eagle will never be able to soar into the sky, and our Hengyue royal family will never have such trash."
