The Reborn Wife is Farming

Qi Wenjin is newly married to Yan Er, full of ambitions, after sending his brother-in-law to the academy, he doesn't interfere much with the affairs of the Lu family.

Since the lady wanted to do it herself, he naturally wanted to fulfill her wish.

Little Leopard and Xiaofu saw him full of complacency, apparently they had forgotten their agreement, and they all came to ****, "Brother, when will you intercede for us?"

It was only then that Qi Wenjin remembered the deal with his younger brother back then. He coughed lightly and said, "It's easy to intercede for you, but I guess most of them won't agree. At least they won't let you go until you're married."

"However, everyone in our family is getting married late, and none of your elder brothers are married yet. The day lily will be cold when it's your turn."

Little Leopard and Xiaofu looked at him pitifully.

"So I thought of a better way. People don't want to be crazy and waste young people. Your eldest brother said when I was seven or eight years old that I wanted to conquer the Western Ocean. I didn't allow them to come and rob me. Since you have this grand goal, Of course I will help you realize it.”

Xiaofu looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "What's the best way?"

Qi Wenjin stepped forward and put his hands on the shoulders of the two younger brothers, and taught them with a smile: "Although there are occasional frictions between Daqi and Xiou, on the whole everyone is still friendly. Those Westerners also scolded them openly like us. Pirates? So you can’t just go to the Western Ocean and fight and kill them, we have to maintain a friendly attitude with them, you know?”

Xiao Fu passed him to look at the little leopard on the other side, and said, "I think these words are very similar to what my elder brother said."

Qi Wenjin patted him on the head and said: "Nonsense, I obviously said this, and I also thought of the solution. Your elder brother just helped me perfect it."

The little leopard asked impatiently, "What is the solution?"

Qi Wenjin said word by word: "Go to the West!"

He shook his head and said, "You two are the envoys of Daqi all the way to the west. Whenever you encounter the mainland, you will go up to visit. If you have a country, you will go up to say hello, exchange credentials, and record the products and customs of their country. There are quite a few countries. After you go ashore, you can learn more about their relationship with each other. Talk to them if you have nothing to do, so as to promote the relationship between the two countries. Didn’t Hutou say that Joao was put in prison for fighting for the throne? See if you can Even if he doesn’t become emperor, he can establish his own power, and through him, Daqi and I can be considered to have some political power in the West.”

Central Plains has a history of more than 2,000 years. Qi Wenjin has been familiar with history books since he was a child.

Qi Wenjin patted the heads of his two younger brothers and said: "Our Daqi now only has economic relations with Xiyang, and has no influence on their politics, so everything is like starting from scratch, don't worry, take your time, in short, don't tell yourself Just right there."

The little leopard touched his chin and said, "Will parents agree?"

Qi Wenjin gestured and said: "60% sure."

Xiao Fu rolled his eyes and said, "Then what if you add the Prince's brother and my elder brother?"

Qi Wenjin glanced at him and said: "All counted, including your tiger-head brother and little lion brother's way of rolling, there is only a 60% certainty in total."

Although Xiao Baozi and Xiao Fu were disappointed, they were still excited. They clenched their fists and said, "I'm 60% sure. Brother, I'll leave everything to you!"

So, after the family had dinner at night, Xiao Xiong thought about it and mentioned to his parents: "Father, mother, Xiao Baozi and Xiao Fu are not young anymore. These two boys are studying to go to the West every day, and they don't have the heart to study at all. I don't think it's better." Let them represent the imperial court on a mission to the West."

The little lion immediately followed up and said, "Yes, envoys from various countries in the West have come to Daqi, but our Daqi officials have never been to their country. The mere words from the merchants are superficial. Why don't we let them go?" See what the Western countries look like."

Hutou immediately followed the script and said: "To carry the banner of our Daqi along the road, and let other countries see our majesty, this is a grand event, and it will definitely be famous forever."

Isn't this a typical Zheng He's voyage to the West?

Just as Mu Yangling was about to educate them on frugality, Qi Haoran said lightly: "Okay, but the treasury has no money, and your mother and I don't know how to pay. What national treasure are you going to use to make other countries surrender? Also, how many ships, how many supplies, and how many people do you plan to bring with you for the mission fleet?"

Little Xiong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his father to agree so quickly, and then immediately reacted, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, father, we will definitely not let the treasury spend too much money."

Hutou excitedly continued: "Yes, yes, there are many treasures that foreigners don't know, not to mention the things in your and Uncle Huang's private treasury, any one you take out is a treasure."

Qi Haoran jumped up, "Cooperating with you is the idea of ​​taking our spoils, which are passed on to future generations. If you want to show them, there is no way."

After finishing speaking, he continued, "There is no window!"

Lu Deyin stared at the prince's family dumbfounded. She didn't expect the prince's family to get along like this.

The little lion immediately persuaded his father with a clear understanding of the righteousness, "Daddy, we are also doing this for the good of Daqi. Think about it, our ship will go out for a circle, and the whole Daqi will be famous all over the world. Wouldn't it be better than Datang when all nations come to court?" Still prosperous?"

"The prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty has not even reached a hundred years," Mu Yangling said coldly: "If you are so happy, Daqi probably can't even compare with the Tang Dynasty."

Little Xiong scratched his head in distress. He didn't expect his mother to be the one who opposed it most fiercely, and asked, "Mother, haven't you been encouraging us to go outside all the time, don't you want to grow our horizons?"

"Yes, I didn't stop you now, but I didn't ask you to go out to waste extravagantly. You may think that you didn't waste it, but if you take so many ships out just to promote the country's prestige, I don't think it's worth it. "

"But the Westerners came to us as envoys, and you let us learn from them."

Mu Yangling knew that he didn't understand what she meant, and said emphatically: "I have no problem with you going to the West now, but the premise is that you don't drag the national treasures around the world, and the officials in the West don't spend much. Do you know why?"

Hutou immediately raised his hand, "I know, they came out with merchant ships, and their own ships were also full of goods. When they got there, they sold them to make money and bought local products to move on."

Mu Yangling nodded, "That's right, but Daqi officials look down on merchants, not to mention being on the same boat, I'm afraid they will feel uncomfortable if they go together, not to mention doing business, I'm afraid that the jewels brought on board the boat will be distributed to various countries .”

"Each voyage takes three to four months, or even half a year. Dozens of ships are dispatched. The boatmen on board plus the appointed officials, soldiers, and their servants. Have you calculated how much supplies you will bring? Is it?" Mu Yangling said: "I have no objection if you want to go on an envoy, but first you have to settle this matter first, Daqi will provide you with ships, boatmen, officers and soldiers, and a certain amount of supplies are also acceptable, even if we privately I can also give you some of the treasures in Curry’s collection, but can you guarantee that you can travel around the world with these things alone?”

Qi Haoran pulled Mu Yangling to stand up, looked quietly at his sons and said, "The best way is for you to persuade the imperial court to give up the envoy's fleet to do business, but judging from your father's years of experience, this is more difficult than going to heaven." Still difficult."

Because Fan Zijin loves to do business, he is often despised by some officials in private, thinking that his behavior has lowered his status.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to get all the officials to agree that they are self-sufficient like Western missions, and it is impossible to have all the money from the treasury, considering the frugal nature of the emperor's brother and the stingy habits of the household department.
