The Submissive Emperor

"Do it yourself?" Xiao Chengjun frowned. He came to Minzhou, one is to hide his power and keep away from the capital, and the other is to get a part of the military power to gain a big position. As for making money, he has never considered it, and he is not good at it. This way.

"We talked to the Japanese pirate merchants for business, and beat them to take care of the pirates. If the pirates they brought were mischievous, we would kill them with them." Lou Jing cut his neck.

Xiao Chengjun pondered for a moment and shook his head, "We can't do business." It's not the same as opening one eye and closing one eye to fight with himself.

Lou Jing sighed, crouched and lay down on His Royal Highness's lap, buried his face in his abdomen, and muttered, "The rich merchants in Rongcheng, you don’t know how much money they make, then The house is more magnificent than the Minwang Mansion. They make money with peace of mind through the kindness of Jingnan, but the fishermen will be slaughtered by pirates..."

"Naturally it won't be cheaper for them," Xiao Chengjun chuckled and touched his head on his lap. "The ruler, if everything is done by himself, he will definitely care for one and lose the other."

Lou Jing was taken aback, and looked up at him, with curiosity in his bright eyes.

Xiao Chengjun smiled faintly, "Why don't we collect taxes, we can take away 30% of the profits without saying anything."

Winning the benefits of the world, and just looking at the benefits in front of you, this is the difference between the king of Fujian and the princess, the monarch and the good fortune!

The situation in North Korea and China is getting tighter day by day. Generally speaking, it is very unfavorable for the three princes.

Just after the end of the year, he banned his feet, and afterwards he was unhappy with the emperor because he met with honorable children privately. He was planning to hide his power and bide his time. The second prince, who was more noble than his, suddenly got better and walked in front of others, completely taking away his reputation. go.

There were more and more memorials to the second prince, and Emperor Chunde did not give a reply. Instead, he found Xiao Chengjin, who was living in the palace, to come to the imperial study room.

Xiao Chengjin wore a moon-white royal uniform and walked slowly into the royal study room.

Emperor Chunde looked at the pale face of the second prince, for a moment in a daze. Both brothers were born by Concubine Shu, Xiao Chengjun looked cold and hard, while Xiao Chengjin was a lot softer, and in contrast, she looked more like Concubine Shu.

After so many years, Emperor Chunde can't remember the appearance of Concubine Shu, but when he saw Xiao Chengjin, he suddenly remembered that the gentle woman from the southern water village always speaks softly, so that others can't help but lower her voice. .

"My son has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the father." Xiao Chengjin pulled up his clothes and knelt down and bowed slowly, with some morbid weakness in his sweet voice.

"You are not well, get up and sit down." Emperor Chunde looked at such a weak second prince, and couldn't help softening his voice.

"Thanks to the emperor." Xiao Chengjin thanked for her and didn't refuse, and took the opportunity to sit on the chair moved by Huaizhong.

Concubine Chen in the Luanyi Palace soon got the news that the emperor summoned the second prince, and the two had a very happy conversation in the imperial study room.

"Every time the emperor asks anything, King Jing can quote the scriptures," the little **** who reported the letter said cautiously. "The little one heard laughter from the royal study room, and the emperor said..."

"Say what?" Chen Guifei stared at the little **** coldly, as if trying to stare him out of a hole.

The little **** shrank his neck in fright, and squatted: "The emperor praised Jing Wang for his talents, he is the only one among the princes..."

"Pop!" The cup in Chen Guifei's hand was thrown out, knocked on the bluestone floor tiles, and smashed to pieces.

In terms of knowledge, perhaps the second prince who has never forgotten read a lot, but in terms of vision and strategy, no one can compare to the former prince and the current king of Fujian. However, Xiao Chengjun always pretended to be mediocre in front of Emperor Chunde, and the third prince often pretended to be dull in order to please his father, so that the second prince who was not afraid of being jealous got a bargain. How could she not hate it?

The fact is true. Emperor Chunde saw Xiao Chengjin, who was knowledgeable and fluent in answer, but felt pity in his heart, but he couldn't give birth to any suspicion. One is that he is weak, and even if he has great wisdom, he doesn't have the physical strength to do anything. Besides, Emperor Chunde didn't intend to pass on the throne to him.

"Since your father and son have entered the palace, you should stay longer. I will go see the emperor and grandson when I have time." Emperor Chunde said with a smile.

"The son of the minister abides by the edict." Xiao Chengjin bowed in response.

When the Jing King returned to Fengyi Palace, the emperor's reward would arrive.

Ginseng more than 300 years old, Ganoderma lucidum 500 years old, and Saussurea tribute from the Western Regions, all of which are extremely precious tonics, not to mention the boxes of golden swiftlet nests and silk medicinal materials, which are very rich.

Ji Zhuo looked at these rewards, curled his lips slightly, "The emperor always pity people who show weakness."

At the other end, Chen Guifei's eyes were red with anger.

Xiao Chengjun was forced away, Xiao Chengzheng was killed, but Xiao Chengjin was cheaper. No, this kind of thing absolutely can't happen. Taking a deep breath, Chen Guifei's eyes flashed fiercely, "My palace heard that the second prince was extremely chilly. As long as there is something cold in his food, it will kill him."

"Niangma, this can't be done," the chief **** of Luanyi Palace quickly took a private look, and whispered to persuade him, "Now that King Jing lives in Fengyi Palace, where water can't enter, how can I get it right?"

"Isn't there still Chunfu?" Chen Guifei said coldly.

"Niang Niang, Chunfu was only put in after a lot of energy was lost, and now it may not be possible to do it, it is a pity to abandon Chunfu." Datai was monitoring, and she moved her hands in the palace. Their eyeliner was With a mortal end, how could Chen Guifei make such a faint move because of her anger for a while?

Concubine Chen was silent, and seemed to figure out whether it was more cost-effective to kill Xiao Chengjin in the palace or outside the palace. If Xiao Chengjin lived in Fengyi Palace until the crown prince, then he would do it again. As the biological mother of the three princes, they would definitely not be able to get rid of the relationship. He was bitten by him, and the catastrophe was overwhelming.

For a while, I was caught in a dilemma and couldn't make a choice.

This is destined to be a sleepless night.

The people in the capital were tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and the wealthy businessmen in Rongcheng were also trembling and uneasy.

The King of Min gave an order, and each family informed that the heads of these big families should go to the Mansion of Min King the next day.

Anyone named, without exception, had contacts with Japanese pirates. Originally, Minzhou changed the rule of the vassal prince, which has already made them feel nervous. Now it is clear that we should find them to settle the accounts, how can we still sleep peacefully?

The next day, Xiao Chengjun wore the prince’s costume and sat on the hall with his **** tightly guarded. He looked at the trembling wealthy businessmen who were kneeling on the ground with a cold eye.

After hearing this, everyone glanced at each other, and responded unevenly, "I don't know."

Xiao Chengjun didn't intend to let them say why. He waved his hand. Several people who were dressed in Yuchao costumes but were obviously smaller in figure were **** and pulled in, kneeling with the wealthy businessmen.

"Do you recognize these people?" Xiao Chengjun asked coldly.

The wealthy businessmen suddenly panicked. Don't these Dongying businessmen talk about business in their homes? Why was this arrested? Everyone shook like chaff, and pushed someone out to speak.

"His Royal Highness, these people are Eastern businessmen." The people who were pushed out were not very old, in their early thirties, and more energetic than those with fat heads. Although their faces were pale, they were very calm.

"What's your name?" Xiao Chengjun looked at the man.

"Caomin Dai Cheng is the head of the Dai family in Rongcheng and the chairman of the Minzhou Chamber of Commerce." Na Dai Cheng said frankly.

Xiao Chengjun nodded secretly. This is a personal talent, but he didn't move at all. He said coldly, "You are honest. These Japanese pirates are doing evil and hurting my Dayu people, but you are befriending them, buying and selling goods. , Can you be guilty?"

There was a fat businessman who couldn't stand it and passed out.

When the beating was almost done, Xiao Chengjun raised his hand, and the official who was proficient in Eastern Ying dialect stepped forward and relayed Xiao Chengjun’s words to those Eastern Eastern businessmen, and told them that this was the feudal lord of Minzhou who had the life and death of all the people in the fief. Daquan, those Japanese people immediately became more honest.

"His Royal Highness, Cao Min knows he is guilty." Dai Cheng's expression was not good, but the people behind him couldn't count on it. He could only say, "But Minzhou is barren, and I can't even pay taxes if I rely on heaven for food. Waiting for the family to do these transactions for generations..."

Xiao Chengjun just listened to him with a cold expression, without interjecting. Dai Cheng talked to himself for a while. Seeing the young prince, he was still expressionless and had no bottom in his heart. At the end of the speech, he was a little incoherent.

"This king only talks about two things," Xiao Chengjun said slowly when the time was almost the same, "From today, people from overseas come to do business, and this king does not object. Of course, they will have to pay taxes when they come to our country. , Everyone who buys and sells goods in exchange has to pay 30% of the tax."

"Huh?" Everyone was in an uproar, 30% of the tax was paid, which is too high. Looking at the whole Dayu, there is no tax that is so high.

"Secondly, the Japanese pirates who burned, killed, and looted were in a fight with you. If you want to do business, you should take care of your subordinates. From today onwards, all Japanese pirates who have violated the people will be strangled together with their employers without mercy. !" Xiao Chengjun's voice was calm and powerful, echoing in the empty hall, shocking people.

Those Fujian merchants and Dongying people realized it took a long time. His Royal Highness of Fujian did not intend to cut their lives, and because of the power of the feudal prince, they could do business with peace of mind without being convicted, but they had to pay high taxes. At the same time, once those pirates disturb the people, whoever hires the pirates will kill them together!
