Shen Luoyan didn't know what Yun Zheng was talking about with Emperor Wen.
However, Shen Luoyan could see that Emperor Wen wanted to hit Yun Zheng several times, but he just didn't do it.
Anyway, every time Emperor Wen raised his hand, Shen Luoyan's heart would skip a beat.
It would be a lot of fun if the father and son started fighting in the gate tower.
Soon, Shen Luoyan shook his head again, wondering what he was thinking about!
There is no way that this father and son would get into a fight!
Yun Zheng and Emperor Wen were chatting there.
After a while, Emperor Wen suddenly burst into laughter again.
But after a while, Emperor Wen looked like he wanted to beat Yun Zheng again.
Shen Luoyan was confused, and Zhou Dai was also confused.
...
...
It was almost dusk when the father and son walked out of the gatehouse.
Emperor Wen had a smile on his face.
It seems that he is in a good mood.
Seeing this, Shen Luoyan breathed a sigh of relief.
In the evening, Yun Zheng held a banquet at the General's Mansion to welcome Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen was indeed tired after traveling all the way here.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Emperor Wen went back to his room early to rest.
"What did you talk about with Father? I think Father seems to be in a good mood!"
In the room, Shen Luoyan sat on Yun Zheng's lap and asked curiously.
Yun Zheng chuckled, "Father has agreed to release the Fuzhou defense line."
"ah?"
Shen Luoyan was horrified and looked at Yun Zheng in disbelief, "What did you tell your father? Did he agree?"
Wouldn't it be equivalent to completely opening the door to Yun Zheng and the Beifu Army if we let go of the Fuzhou defense line?
Will the emperor be relieved?
Although they all knew that Yun Zheng would not lead his troops south, their father, as the emperor, had to be on guard!
Now, my father is so generous as to open up the front line of defense in Fuzhou?
What kind of magic potion did this guy feed my father?
"Nothing."
Yun Zheng raised the corner of his mouth, "I told him that if I really wanted to go south, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Fuzhou would not be able to stop me! Instead of that, it would be better to transfer the troops in Fuzhou to the west or southeast to guard against other countries..."
"That's it?"
Shen Luoyan's eyes widened, "Now that you said that, Father agreed?"
Not really?
Although this is true, unless Emperor Wen is absolutely confident in Yun Zheng.
Otherwise, he would always be wary of Yun Zheng!
"If you put it like that, Father will definitely not agree!"
Yun Zheng smiled, "Besides, we are only releasing the defense line, not completely retreating. However, my father and I have painted a big pie for each other, and then after friendly negotiations, we decided to partner up to do a big business..."
Painting a big cake?
Do big business?
Shen Luoyan was confused and asked curiously, "What pancake?"
"Don't worry about the big promises, they are just big promises anyway!" Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled.
There are some things that should be clear between the father and son.
There's no need to make it known to everyone.
Anyway, it's all empty talk.
It's just talk, who takes it seriously?
"All right!"
Chen Luoyan didn't dwell on this matter and instead asked about their business.
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "This business is simple. Father will open up Fuzhou's defenses and build an official market in Fuzhou for trade. The money earned from the business will be split 50-50 between Father and me..."
"ah?"
Shen Luoyan was so confused, "Your Majesty, just to make money, you let go of the Fuzhou defense line?"
This...how is this possible!
Which is more important, money or the kingdom?
“It’s certainly not just about making money.”
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Father wants to take this opportunity to weaken the power of the clans and families within the pass..."
Shuobei transports a large number of special pits...
Oh no, it's high-end stuff specially made for rich people to eat, drink and have fun.
Including wine, fur products, beautiful but useless horses, and those high-end consumer goods in Yun Zheng's mind.
They would sell these to the aristocratic families and clans, making them live a life of luxury while they extorted their money. They would then use the money they extorted from them to buy their land, food, etc.
Those people from the aristocratic families and clans will have more money and will spend it further.
This creates a vicious cycle.
Since those people no longer had so much land, they naturally would not support so many slaves and tenants.
In Yun Zheng's words, this is called liberating productivity.
In addition, these luxury goods can not only be sold to the families and clans of Dagan, but also to neighboring countries. The silver earned can then be used to purchase food and materials that are in short supply in Dagan from neighboring countries.
This is also a disguised way of weakening neighboring countries.
Is that so?
Chen Luoyan was not cut out for business, and after listening for a long time, he still didn't fully understand.
But she still understood the general meaning.
"Will the ministers in the court object to your doing this, father?"
Shen Luoyan said worriedly.
Your Majesty is confident in Yun Zheng, but are the ministers in the court confident?
Can those people in Yun Li’s party be assured?
"Why should they object?"
Yun Zheng grinned, "The threat from the Northern Army is so great that the court is trying to increase taxes to train elite troops in Fuzhou so that they can guard against the Northern Army. Isn't this reasonable?"
“…”
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Shen Luoyan was dumbfounded.
Can this father and son play like this?
"Are you stupid?"
Yun Zheng looked at Chen Luoyan with a smile.
“Somewhat.”
Shen Luoyan came back to his senses and said teasingly: "Now I know why you are so insidious! It turns out that all of this is inherited from your father!"
"That's just the beginning!" Yun Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "You underestimate my father!"
"What's the meaning?"
Shen Luoyan asked in confusion.
Is there any other explanation for this matter?
Yun Zheng smiled and replied, "Later, my father will ask the third brother to propose this plan in person..."
"Ah?" Shen Luoyan was bewildered, "Father wants to use this to reduce resistance?"
“That’s one aspect.”
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I guess his main purpose is to make the third brother take the blame!"
"Take...take the blame?" Shen Luoyan was confused, "What do you mean?"
"fool!"
Yun Zheng tapped Shen Luoyan's head gently, "Think about it, if we do this to the end, we will definitely offend those powerful families and clans! By that time, we will have to push someone out to calm those people's anger, right?"
“…”
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Shen Luoyan's face was filled with tears.
When necessary, push Yun Li out to take the blame?
Depose...depose the crown prince?
Are they going to sell Yun Li out and want Yun Li to help them count the money?
Yun Li...was picked up, right?
"Okay, just keep these things to yourself, don't spread them around!"
Yun Zheng showed a wicked smile on his face, "For this matter at the moment, we still need the third brother's help! Father and I have to cooperate to continue this play..."
The position of the crown prince for the third brother is a limited-time trial card!
The reason why he has not been deposed now is that he has just been in office for a short time. If he is deposed again, it would not be good.
Moreover, this prince is not useless.
Things like taking the blame and attracting fire can all be done by the prince!
