, the emperor was still unable to withstand Ming Yu's stalking. Taking out a part of the private treasury silver can be regarded as supporting Ming Yu's career. He didn't think about any interest or anything, he just hoped that this stupid son would not disappoint him.

115 Chapter 115
The news in the courtroom that day was soon spread by gossip that Duan Wangye created the Xiqi Corridor on his own, in order not to be restricted by the Suixi Kingdom. It can allow Dayan's goods to go abroad, and more goods from the Western Regions can enter Dayan.
It is a very good thing that Dayan can communicate with other countries in the Western Regions. Haven't seen that the goods from the Western Regions brought back by King Duan won the favor of the dignitaries? Not to mention them, even the emperor used these things.
I heard that Duan Wang Jin presented a glass mirror as tall as a person, and placed it in the emperor's palace. The emperor would dress up in front of the mirror every day. There is also a saying: using glass as a mirror, you can correct your clothes; using ancient times as a mirror, you can see the ups and downs; using people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. Note ① The emperor is a good emperor, and Duan Wang's actions can also benefit the public. Think about it, if the Xiqi Corridor is opened, and trade can be freely come and gone, then more and more goods from the Western Regions will come to Dayan. By that time, maybe even ordinary people can use it.
The people of the capital are very concerned about this. They can only watch it with impatience, and they can't join in the fun. This is also a relatively rare event in recent years. The people talk about it with relish, and it is a good topic to discuss and discuss in their spare time.
In a small wine shop, someone was chatting hotly about this matter at this time.
"Do you think that Duan Wang can do it? Why do I think it's a little unreliable? Let's not talk about other things, but I heard that the state treasury can't get any money." Come.
"If you want to worry about eating radishes blindly, since King Duan dares to bring it up in the court, it means that you are sure, otherwise how could the emperor and the ministers unanimously approve it?"
"That's true. If this can be done, Dayan's goods can be shipped out, and they will definitely sell for a good price."
"Isn't that right? I heard that Duan Wang's caravan went out, and it made a lot of money. Those people from the Western Regions have never seen Dayan's tea and silk. These things that are extremely common here are in their eyes. The golden knot is no less than the sensation caused by the products of the Western Regions in Dayan."
"Tsk tsk! So, if the goods in my shop can be shipped there for sale, it will make a lot of money, but is it better than sticking here to get moldy?"
He opened a small shop in the capital, selling some cloth, silk and satin garments. Because his shop is small, he can barely support his family. In recent years, Dayan's treasury has been tense, and there have been natural and man-made disasters. This business has become increasingly difficult to do.
When people are poor, their thoughts change, and no one can hang themselves on a tree, right? Today's news has made many people who are very thoughtful have different thoughts. Although they don't have a lot of capital, but if they think of a way, they might be able to take this opportunity to survive.
Small businesses and hawkers can think about changes, and those big businesses that control the lifeline of the economy should not be underestimated. What happened in the courtroom that day was quickly inquired about by people with a heart, and even the kind of pamphlet that Ming Yu sent to the ministers, those who had channels had already obtained it.
Ma Siyong carefully read the contents of the booklet several times before covering up and pondering. As businessmen, they are a bit more sensitive than those ministers in the imperial court. The planning instructions in Duanwang's booklet made them feel ashamed of those who have experienced shopping malls for a long time.
This just shows that Duan Wang is not as stupid and incompetent as the legend, and then again, if it is as rumored, how could he think of bringing the goods from the Western Regions back to Dayan? The profits earned made even their top merchants jealous.
Now Duan Wang's proposal to develop the Xiqi Corridor is even more impressive. If Duan Wang really can be sure, this is a major event that can change the lifeline of the entire Dayan. Isn't it a huge opportunity for businessmen in the world? All he has to do now is to seize this opportunity.
"Father!" Ma Jinyu looked carefully at Ma Siyong. After getting the booklet for so long, his father didn't say a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Only then did Ma Siyong come back to his senses, and handed the booklet to his son, motioning him to read it before speaking.
Ma Jinyu didn't dare to disobey, and read it carefully before saying: "Duanwang really knows a lot. When I chatted with him that day, I had some words. I didn't expect it to be taken so quickly. It is incredible to discuss it in the courtroom, and to get all the ministers to agree to this matter."
When the court discussed this matter before, most of the people in the court were against it. The most important thing was to spend money. If the court has no money, don't waste your efforts. But now that King Duan has taken over this matter in the court, no one can match his aura.
"Where do you think King Duan will get the money? The Xiqi Corridor is no child's play. Except for the imperial court, there is no one person who can spend so much money." Ma Siyong stared at his son. asked.
Ma Jinyu frowned and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head, how did he know Duan Wang's plan. "Father, do you think this Duan Wang is just kidding around?"
Ma Siyong chuckled lightly: "Just kidding? Who can play in the courtroom? Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
Ma Jinyu snorted, "Didn't the emperor love him the most? So..." It was impossible to think about it, and he swallowed the second half of the words. No matter how much he loves his son, it is impossible to play tricks on state affairs. The current emperor is not a fool. Since he can agree and let King Duan go, it means that the emperor believes that King Duan can do it well. "But my son really can't think of any way for King Duan to get money."
Ma Siyong smiled slightly and said firmly, "Wait. No one else can see Duan Wang's actions, but one day we will understand his actions."
Ma Jinyu nodded, but listened to him again: "Looking for opportunities to contact Duan Wang, be sure to get first-hand information."
"Yes, my son understands."
Not only the merchants are staring at Ming Yu, the people in Beijing, the ministers in the court, countless pairs of eyes are staring at it. Want to see how he can get so much money. Of course, more people are holding the mentality of watching jokes. Look, I'm bragging about Haikou when my head is hot for a while, now it's all right? Things can't be done without making jokes.
Ming Yu didn't take these gossip to heart at all, he should eat and drink every day. From time to time, I go to the ministers' palace to beg for alms, eh! Is to pull sponsorship to borrow money. Of course, the courtiers are not stupid, how could their own money bring disaster to a stupid prince, so every time they see Ming Yu's figure, they run faster than that rabbit.
In the prime minister's mansion, Ming Yu was eating snacks and drinking tea. He wiped his mouth when he was almost done eating, "The dim sum here is the most appetizing for the prime minister, and it can compete with the ones in the palace."
Prime Minister Wen sat on the low couch, holding a book in his hand, glanced at Ming Yu, and smiled helplessly: "Old minister these years, the only part of the family has been lent to you, how can you return it to this old minister? Are you running?"
Almost all of Ming Yu's courtiers' homes passed by, and only the Prime Minister's Mansion came the most diligently.
Ming Yu was also aggrieved in his heart, "I have nowhere to go? Other ministers don't welcome me, so the tea here is delicious, Lord Prime Minister."
Wen Qing was amused, "Your Highness, just say that you want the dim sum here." He also knew that in Ming Yu's circle in Beijing these days, the royal family members of the imperial court all hid as far as they could see him. I was afraid that Ming Yu would open his mouth to borrow money.
Ming Yu didn't think Pestle smiled, and then pretended to sigh: "This king has good intentions and gave them opportunities one by one, but they don't appreciate each one of them, and they will regret it in the future."
Wen Qing shook his head, but didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "You are asking others for money one by one, and you blame others for not being sympathetic. They are not fools, so let them be fooled? But Wangye, you can't go on like this, right? Even if they can give out some money, I'm afraid it's a drop in the bucket!" Besides, how could these people want their money to be wasted in vain, he didn't say these words face to face, it was a half face for Ming Yu.
At present, Ming Yu's achievements are only supported by Dingyuan Hou Xue Lun and himself. Dingyuan Hou does not know how he was fooled by him. And it's just because Ming Yu is that person's most beloved son, the so-called Aiwu Jiwu, I always think so much in my heart.
Now that he and Xue Hou go out, they will be looked at with sympathy by the civil and military officials. It is estimated that they have heard that they borrowed money to go out, so they are regarded as fools like Ming Yu, right? But he didn't care about these visions at all. To be stupid, the emperor supported Ming Yu without hesitation, and let Ming Yu destroy his private library?
He couldn't help laughing at the thought of the emperor looking for him to complain. Ming Yu, the child, always gives people a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere when he gets along with him. It is very comfortable, and it is no wonder that the emperor loves him.
