Ye Zhen proposed to exchange ports with Jin Guo, some ministers agreed and some opposed, and Shui Yichen was the one who opposed it.
"We can build our own commercial ports without relying on other countries. In this way, we will be restricted in the future of our Yuan Kingdom." Shui Yichen said with a serious expression.
"The exchange of trade with the state of Jin and the state of Qi is not used by them. Their ships stop at our port, which can promote the trade of merchants in the state of Yuan. Why is the treasury of the state of Dongqing empty? It is because they have not done a good job. To develop commerce, if a country only relies on farming to collect taxes, it will not last long.” Whether it is recuperating and manufacturing weapons, all of these need to be completed with money from the taxes of the people. really develop.
Shui Yichen said, "As you said, our current port trade in the Yuan Kingdom is still too bad. Once we communicate with the Jin Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom at this time, we will be suppressed by them in the future."
"I don't think so." Liu Zhanhu said, "It's because our Yuan Kingdom is not mature enough in this respect, but Jinkou City is different. It has been a trading port for a hundred years. I'm afraid there is no other place in the world. It can be compared, as long as their merchant ships stop at our port, it will definitely drive the business of our Yuan Kingdom, and only in this way can we develop the possibility."
After this day's discussion, only Shui Yichen opposed the port exchange with Jin and Qi.
Although Huangfuchen said little, he agreed.
"You guys step back first, I'll have a word with the general." Ye Zhen glanced at Shui Yichen and told the others to step back first.
Ye Zhen frowned and looked at Shui Yichen, "General, I understand what you're worried about, but do you think Yuan State will be hostile to Jin State in the future?"
Shui Yichen wanted her to be hostile to Jin Guo, but this was just a thought in his heart, "Prevention before it happens, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future."
"General, have you forgotten my other identity?" Ye Zhen asked lightly, "I am the Tianfei of the Yuan Kingdom, that's right, before I became the Tianfei, I was the Queen of the Jin Kingdom, my son and daughter They are the prince and princess of the Kingdom of Jin, and if there is no accident, Mingxi will still be the crown prince of the Kingdom of Jin in the future, no matter what the future holds, the Kingdom of Yuan and the Kingdom of Jin cannot be hostile, do you understand?"
Shui Yichen frowned slightly, he only wanted to prevent Yuan Guo from being controlled by Mo Rongzhan in the future, but he forgot about Mingxi, "I understand."
"I also know the benefits of developing our own trade first, but we don't have this condition now. You haven't been to Jinkou City, have you? After the founding ceremony, you go there in person, and you will understand why I want to communicate with Jinkou City " Ye Zhen said, "Nanzhou was established according to Jinkou City."
"Is Jinkou City bigger than Nanzhou?" Shui Yichen raised his eyebrows and asked.
Ye Zhen laughed, "You'll know it after you've seen it."
"Okay, I'll go there in person." Shui Yichen whispered, he couldn't stop her from believing in Murong Zhan, before he appeared by her side, she was already Murong Zhan's queen, thinking It will take time to gain her wholehearted trust.
He had the patience to wait for her to trust him.
Ye Zhen laughed, "How do you think about Miao Miao and Zhao Tianji?"
Shui Yichen frowned at her, "If I don't agree, after the founding ceremony, the first thing you will do is to give them marriages?"
"If you don't agree, Miao Miao won't go back. She has been living in the palace for a few days, you don't want her to live with Zhao Tianji directly." Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
"Hmph." Shui Yichen snorted coldly, "If she dares to do this, I will break Zhao Tianji's leg."
"Then you agree." Ye Zhen said angrily, "How can Zhao Tianji not be worthy of Miao Miao? He is still the owner of Zhao Family Island."
She has already made up her mind that after the opening of the port in the future, Zhao Tianji is the most suitable to take the lead.
"Wait until I meet Zhao Tianji first." Shui Yichen said, although he hadn't agreed yet, he had already let go.
Ye Zhen nodded in satisfaction, "Okay."
Shui Yichen glanced at her. He really wanted to know whether Murongzhan would stay after the founding ceremony, or if she would go to Jinguo. However, he knew there were some things he couldn't ask, and if he asked, it would be overstepping .
"Then I'll retreat first." Shui Yichen said lightly with downcast eyes, turned and exited the hall.
Ye Zhen returned to the harem, before seeing Murongzhan and Mingxi, Shui Miaomiao stopped her first.
"Sister Ye!" Shui Miaomiao looked sad, "Has my brother let go today? He doesn't want me as a sister at all. I haven't been home for a few days. He is not worried at all, and he never came to persuade me to go home. , Sister Ye, I want to go to Zhaojiadao with Zhao Tianji."
"Don't think about it." Ye Zhen looked at her with a smile, "The general knows that you will be in danger if you live in the palace, of course he is not worried, and he can't go to the harem at will now, even if he wants to persuade you I can’t persuade you, I asked him what he meant today, and he has already let go, and when he goes to meet Zhao Tianji, he might agree to you.”
Shui Miaomiao's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Can I still lie to you? Of course it is true."
"Great!" Shui Miaomiao clapped her hands happily, "Sister Ye, if I can marry Zhao Tianji, it's all thanks to you."
"Okay, don't make things difficult for your brother, since he has let go, you should go home." Ye Zhen smiled, she treated Shui Miaomiao as her younger sister, and naturally hoped that she would get what she wanted To be able to marry someone you really like.
Shui Miaomiao nodded obediently, "I see, I'll go home today."
Ye Zhen smiled and shook her head, seeing that she happily went to talk to Zhao Tianji about it.
"Are you back?" Murong Zhan came up from behind, the afternoon sun was warm and bright, falling on him made him even more charming.
"You left the palace today?" Seeing that he came from another direction, Ye Zhen asked curiously.
Mo Rongzhan nodded with a smile, came to stand in front of her, stretched out his hands to straighten her temples, "Go out and take a walk."
"Are you looking for my brother?" Ye Zhen glanced at him.
"How do you know that I'm looking for your brother?" Murongzhan asked amusedly, he was indeed looking for Ye Chunnan, Zhao Yong knew that he was in the capital city, so he would definitely be on guard against him, he asked Ye Chunnan to keep an eye on Honglu Temple, he was worried about Zhao Yong's treachery and despicability.
Ye Zhen took his arm, "I guess, what did you ask my brother to do?"
"I didn't do anything, but I found something very interesting." Murong Zhan said with a smile, "The eldest princess Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng of the Qi Kingdom were wandering outside Ye's house today, and they had been to Temple Street before. .”
"It seems that Zhao Rao saw Lu Shuang'er taken away by me that day." Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and smiled.
