Chapter 2316 What is this gift?

Zhu Feng opened it and took a look.

Suddenly, his brows frowned.

Everyone didn't know what was written in his memorial, but recently, Zhu Feng's attitude of alienating the cabinet chief has become very obvious. Everyone is afraid that if he makes any inappropriate words, he will annoy His Majesty the Emperor.

Everyone suddenly held their breath.

However, Zhu Feng did not get angry, but frowned and read the memorial again.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Your memorial says that I hope I will select a foreign envoy to go to the Kingdom of Rest."

"yes."

“…”

Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, closed the memorial, put it back on the table, and said, "I am asking you to supervise the creation of golden jade clothes now, just to establish diplomatic relations with the Anxi Kingdom in the future. You should do this first, and don't worry too early for the rest."

He Yi smiled and said, "Emperor, although the king of Anxu Kingdom asked us for this golden jade robe from our Great Yan Dynasty, in the future, when it was delivered, the two countries will naturally establish diplomatic relations. However, before establishing diplomatic relations, they should also communicate with each other, and some connections are the ones."

“…”

"Besides, before, the king of the Kingdom of Silence had sent a special envoy to the Great Yan Dynasty. If we had no envoys to go, wouldn't we give all the initiative to the other party?"

“…”

"They already have a considerable understanding of our country, but we still know almost nothing about them."

“…”

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Feng's eyes flashed.

Tsushiyi continued: "Sending special envoys can strengthen our ties with the resting nation, and secondly, it can also lay a solid foundation for formal diplomatic relations."

“…”

"Besides, the emperor originally wanted to expel the Western Regions."

“…”

"Taking the opportunity to go on a mission, send a team of outbound envoys first, and take the road on the map given by the king of Anxi, you can also roughly observe the customs and customs of the countries along the way, which will be beneficial for the development of the Western Regions trade routes in the future."

Zhu Feng finished listening quietly.

I didn't say anything immediately, just sat there and didn't move.

After a while, he waved to Heyi: "You, sit down."

He Yi immediately bowed: "Thank you, the emperor."

Seeing this, the other cabinet ministers were relieved, and Zhu Feng also said to them: "You all sit down."

Everyone said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After saying that, he walked to his seat one after another to sit down. Gu Tingqiu glanced at Heyi, reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. Heyi turned around to see him like this, and nodded to him with a smile.

At this time, Zhu Feng said, "The thing you said is feasible, but"

He Yi hurriedly said, "Is there anything else that the emperor is worried about?"

Zhu Feng said: "Even if you just send a team of outbound envoys, you cannot lose the prestige of the Great Yan Dynasty. How many people, envoys, warriors, horses, followers, and what do you need to carry? Have you ever thought about these?"

He Yi said: "Weichen roughly estimated this point in his mind. However, based on the wisdom of Weichen alone, it may not be detailed, so I want to discuss it with you all."

Zhu Feng nodded and said, "You can discuss it."

“…”

"Go back and write another detailed note and hand it over."

"yes."

"besides,"

Zhu Feng seemed to remember something and said, "When the Special Envoy of the Sakura Kingdom came, he was surrounded by a guide who was very familiar with our country's customs and customs. If our country's outgoing envoys were sent to the Sakura Kingdom, he must also choose such a person. He cannot go out at a critical moment to embarrass him."

Hearing this, He Yi did not speak immediately.

On the contrary, Gu Tingqiu, who was standing beside him, seemed to have thought of something and was about to look up, but after thinking about it, he still buried his head again.

He Yi glanced at him.

He said calmly: "Weichen and others understand."

"And that's it"

Zhu Feng looked at them and said, "Money."

When everyone heard this word, they were filled with spirit.

No one hears the word money and is not energetic. It is just that some are happy and some are troubled. In the cabinet, the more money you raise, the more trouble you are.

There are too many places to spend money in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Every year, the money used to buy raw silk from Yue Kingdom is very troubled to the Ministry of Revenue. The purchase of raw silk also produces a lot of silk, but most of them are used by the emperor to reward the royal relatives and nobles, and they are not exchanged for the corresponding money.

In this way, the account will be difficult to settle.

In addition, every year, he built rivers to appease the people, and there were no one who could spend money on city walls and palaces everywhere.

So, when we mentioned this, everyone's anger was a little short.

Zhu Feng said: "When going to the Western Regions, you don't have to spend money when you go out for a walk."

“…”

"Where does the money come from?"

At this time, Chen Yiliu stood up and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have an idea."

Zhu Feng looked at him: "You said."

Chen Yiliu said: "Although the imperial court sent out envoys, it may not all require the imperial court's personnel and supplies. In fact, there are many merchants in China who hope to communicate with the countries in the Western Regions. However, due to the previous national policy of blockade, they were unable to leave."

"oh?"

"Now, if the emperor wants to send out envoys, he might as well recruit caravans in the country who are willing to follow the special envoys to the Western Regions."

"Cargoyle?"

Hearing this, Zhu Feng's eyes lit up slightly.

He said: "You keep talking."

Chen Yiliu said: "In addition to the sand bandits in Reyuewan that the emperor has wiped out, there are actually many sand bandits robbing the merchants passing by. However, it is not within the jurisdiction of our country, and most of them are in the Sanwu area, which is very dangerous and is the biggest obstacle for the caravan to travel west. Let them follow the special envoys and get the protection of the imperial army without hiring guards themselves. Since there is this layer of protection, you can ask them for corresponding money."

“…”

“This is not blackmail, it is mutual benefit.”

“…”

"In this way, they are guaranteed and the special envoy's expenses are naturally born."

A happier expression flashed slightly across Zhu Feng's face.

Nodded and said, "This method is pretty good."

He said to Chen Yiliu: "You can go and find some, but remember that it must be a big chaebol, a big businessman, and those small families, don't let them go out for now."

"yes."

"besides,"

Seeing that his problems were endless, everyone was complaining secretly. They really didn't expect that this matter was just temporarily raised by He Yi today, and at the beginning, Zhu Feng was not very happy.

But unexpectedly, he had already thought of these very detailed details so soon.

It can be seen that he attached great importance to matters in the Western Regions.

Zhu Feng said: "There is another most important thing. Since it is on an envoy, we must also bring our country's gift. What is this gift?"
