He whispered: "Father, son minister, son minister has an idea."

"Thoughts? What's the idea?"

"It's what Erchen has been thinking about how to solve the problem of Sannong these days."

Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Nan Yan was on the side, and was also a little confused. What they were talking about now was about the special envoy who was sent to the Kingdom of Absoluteness and the number of gifts they had prepared might not be enough. Why did the King of Wei suddenly start talking about Sangnong?

But, she didn't interrupt.

Instead, he reached out to stop Xinping, who had been making noise around him, and said softly: "Speak softly, my brother and my father are discussing important matters."

As soon as he heard this, Xinping immediately closed his mouth and his little face was pouting.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at his father and brother with a serious expression.

Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "You, let's talk first."

Zhu Chengxuan said seriously: "Now, the imperial court has purchased a large number of raw silk produced by mulberry farmers in Yue. These raw silks have met the needs of nearly 60% of the silk in our country. Therefore, the raw silk produced by mulberry farmers will be oversupply."

"Um."

"But, only 200,000 pieces of silk have been left in front of me, and it is not enough to spend the New Year and the rewards of the father after the New Year."

“…”

"In other words, raw silk is unnecessary, but silk is not enough."

“…”

"Of course, if we want to weave silk, we need weaving machines and looms. Weavers in the south naturally lack weaving machines, but what they lack is looms. As I know, Feng'an County is a big silk producer, but there are only less than two thousand looms."

“…”

Nan Yan listened aside and blinked.

Zhu Feng's eyes were deep, and he was twisting the wine glass in his hand, and he didn't put it in his mouth, but said, "Stop it."

Zhu Chengxuan said: "So, Erchen has been wondering whether he can provide them with a loom. With a loom, they can produce silk by themselves. According to the current output, at least 300,000 additional silk pieces can be produced every year."

“…”

"But the court may not be able to digest the extra silk."

"but"

Zhu Feng said slowly: "But if these silks are given to the Kingdom of Rest as gifts, this will solve this problem."

"yes."

Zhu Chengxuan continued: "And, along the way, you can also sell silk to countries along the Western Regions. I have heard that a piece of silk can only buy two taels of silver in China. If sold to countries in the Western Regions, the price can be at least ten times higher."

“…”

"If the sales are further, the price can even be increased by dozens of times."

Zhu Chengxuan glanced at Zhu Feng again and said carefully: "If it weren't for such huge profits, those merchants would not have been smuggled out of the empire when Grandpa was alive. They explicitly prohibited from leaving the empire."

Zhu Feng nodded.

He did not agree with all the actions of Emperor Gao during his lifetime, so he made drastic reforms after he ascended the throne. Therefore, although the King of Wei was suspected of being accused of being a elder, he did not care much about it.

He only said: "No one can get up early without profit, that's what he said."

“…”

"This huge profit is also profitable for merchants, so why can't the court make money?"

Zhu Chengxuan nodded quickly and said, "And now, the court must make this huge profit. Because this can also solve the problem of the mulberry king causing trouble."

Zhu Feng nodded again.

When he turned to look at Zhu Chengxuan again, a faint look of appreciation appeared in his eyes. Although it was just fleeting, Nanyan still caught it.

This is something he rarely admires the King of Wei.

However, Zhu Feng has always been very stingy with such appreciation. First, Zhu Chengxuan has not been favored by him since he was a child; second, he has become accustomed to strict requirements for the King of Wei, so even if he has a sense of appreciation, he is unwilling to show it too much.

So, Nan Yan smiled and said, "That's good, this problem is solved."

As he said that, he picked up vegetables for the King of Wei and put them in his bowl, and said with a smile: "The King of Wei has indeed grown up and can help the Emperor solve his problems. This is something that no minister in the court cannot solve."

Zhu Chengxuan's face turned red when he heard her say this.

Zhu Feng's eyes softened a little, but immediately continued, "Don't praise him. This is just a chance for the ministers in the court to give him experience. Is there so many people who are better than him?"

Zhu Chengxuan immediately lowered his head.

Nan Yan said softly to Zhu Feng: "Emperor..."

Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng looked at Zhu Chengxuan again, coughed lightly, and said, "But this time, you solved this problem for me."

“…”

"well done."

As he said that, he gently patted his shoulder.

This shot seemed to have injected strength into the King of Wei. He raised his head and looked at the emperor and the imperial concubine. His ears were so excited that his ears were a little red, and he said softly: "My son, Mr. Mr. will continue to work hard."

Then he said, "It's just now, it's the loom problem."

"Um?"

"To produce more silk, you need a loom. But now, silk merchants in the south do not have enough looms because of the reduction in production in the past few years."

Speaking of this, Nan Yan whispered: "Emperor."

"Um?"

Zhu Feng turned to look at her: "What's the matter?"

Nan Yan whispered: "When the girl Ruoshui served by my side, she seemed to have mentioned the matter of the loom in Feng'an County. Should she ask her to come and ask?"

"Oh? She knows?"

"When she and her master passed by Feng'an County, they learned about the situation there."

Zhu Feng said: "This is just right. In fact, I am also trying to find a local person to ask clearly. Since she has been there before, let her come over."

"yes."

Nan Yan immediately looked up and said to Ran Xiaoyu who was standing aside to serve, "Go, call Ruoshui over, and say that I and the emperor have something to do to ask her."

"yes."

Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly put the tray in her hand on the cabinet beside her, turned around and walked out.

As soon as I left the door, I saw Nianqiu standing outside.

She said, "Why are you here?"

Nian Qiu was stunned and immediately said softly: "Didn't the emperor give me some advice? Don't I go in and serve me? I can only see here."

Ran Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "It just so happens that the Empress wants to call Ruoshui over to serve, you go and call her."

"well."

Nianqiu turned around and ran out.

After a while, she led Ruoshui. Ran Xiaoyu stood under the eaves. When she saw Ruoshui coming, she immediately took her hand and said, "The emperor and the empress have something to ask you, hurry up and go in."

Ruoshui was startled: "I, I did nothing wrong."

"Who said you did something wrong? Go in quickly, maybe you will get rewards."

"real?"

When he heard this, Ruoshui walked in with the courage to go in, and Ran Xiaoyu looked back at Nian Qiu and said, "Your Majesty is here, don't serve you here. Go down and rest."

Nian Qiu said: "Yes."
