The Seventh Princess looked at Zi Lan, and the more she looked at her, the more she felt like she was. She looked picturesque and had a bright face. She exuded a clear and clean and elegant aura, and her whole body was filled with spiritual energy. Few could see such a smart and beautiful girl, which made people feel good when they saw it.

"Girl, go, your mother can't help you on your way. We girls are talking here."

The Seventh Princess smiled gently and affectionately at her.

After Zilan stood up and bowed to the Seventh Princess, "Thank you, the princess, I'll go back."

"Okay, be more steady and generous, don't hit the emperor."

Yang was still very worried.

"yes."

Zilan followed the nanny from the prince's mansion to meet the seventh prince's study.

I was thinking about this on the way, and I had a reason to choose the Seventh Prince’s family to advance and retreat. It was also good to talk to my brothers and have a cup of tea and tell my faults.

She was not conspicuous in this way. Maybe the emperor had something to say, so he didn't have to meet alone, or give a bonus or something. He had already given a county lord, enough.

It is already a honor for a person with a foreign surname to get a county lord. The royal daughters may not be able to get a county lord to be granted. Her title is also very good. Jingyi, this is the first choice of good meaning.

It’s such a great kindness, and you don’t need to give a girl any reward. So why did the emperor see her alone?

For the northwest? The recent turmoil is the situation in the northwest. It seems that the troops have been withdrawn, but it does not solve the difficulties of the people in the northwest. The harassment can still continue. It will be possible to make a comeback after two years of silence.

In other words, the emperor understood it in his heart and would definitely worry about this issue. His father and brother also talked about this at home, and they were both worried, and the problem was sharp and obvious.

I don’t know much about the joints for the moment, but the biggest problem at present should be this one.

Along the way, he thought about the study room and the old lady bent her blessedly, "Miss Song, this is our prince's study room. Can I let your maid wait for you outside the door?"

It means that there are not so many people in the prince’s study.

"Su Xin Qiongxin, just wait for me outside. Would you please give my maid a cup of hot tea?"

"Okay, don't worry, come with me."

The nanny would not leave, but led Su Xin and Qiong Xin to wait under the study corridor. There was a small stove here to burn hot water for the prince, so they could also drink a cup of hot tea.

Zi Lan tidied up her clothes a little and went in.

"The girl is here."

When I entered the house, I was a small hall. The room was very warm. The prince and the emperor were both there and making tea on the floor next to the window.

"My daughter greets the emperor and greets the seventh prince."

"Get up, come and sit down and talk. There is no need to be polite to anyone else. I have something to say to you."

Zi Lan obediently knelt on the cushion, took the teapot from the seventh prince's hand, and started to make tea by himself. His movements were not slow, and the heat rolled up, bringing out the fragrance of tea. His plain hands were slender and white jade fingers, and the familiar fragrance of calming mind at the tip of his nose made people calm for no reason.

"Are the emperor and the seventh prince worried about the peace and stability in the northwest? I thought about it for a long time on the way. As far as I know, my father talked about the issue that he had always been worried about, probably the stability of the people in the northwest border.

The battle is won, but it may not be able to keep going. You need to think of a way to maintain long-term stability. You have already had specific ideas before you remember to summon your daughter.”

Zi Lan's mood finally calmed down. She confirmed that she should guess what she thought and knew exactly what she should say.

The emperor glanced at the Seventh Prince, with a smile in his eyes, and pointed her with his hands, "It turns out that he is a shrewd girl, you have guessed everything."

I want to resume border trade. I heard your father mention the matter of trading. I think it must be your idea and come to find out what I want to do with you."

Zi Lan poured the tea and gave it to the two of you personally. He also held the tea cup and savored it slowly, as if he was smashing the taste, and was also thinking about what to say.

The two of them were not in a hurry and just waited for her silently.

"I didn't bring anything in a hurry, otherwise I could show you two. I've said a word or two to my father. Why do you think the cavalry of the Tatar Kingdom is so powerful, and it's even scary."

She turned her head and looked at the two of them asking their own questions.

"They grew up on horseback and rode since childhood, but..."

The emperor originally wanted to say that he should be good at riding, but he quickly denied the answer, which made him unreasonable. Good riding skills and being able to fight are two different things.

"Because of poverty and living conditions are very difficult, this hardship has tempered the will of their descendants and made them indestructible and become the bravest men on the grassland. The real warriors must dare to fight and not be afraid of life and death."

The Seventh Prince is a man who has fought a war and has a deeper understanding of his experience.

"Yes, it's because of poverty. We are to defend our country. They are to survive and to survive. Which reason do you think is stronger."

"This...hiss!" The emperor thought about it carefully and the truth was very obvious.

"My idea is to open border trade, to create a large-scale mutual market, to exchange things with each other, to make them cheaper and also to help us control them.

There is a saying that arrogance and luxury is fascinating. A rich village cannot raise a general. At the same time, it also has a deeper purpose. Once the trade is opened, the borders will communicate with each other, which means that people will communicate more frequently.

Then there will inevitably be intermarriage, no one can stop this, and there will be nothing in ten years. In twenty or thirty years, the two sides have already merged together. If the war begins, it will not be a matter of who has the final say. By then, in order not to gain a bad reputation, both sides must sit down and have a good talk, and everything will be discussed."

"I didn't expect you to think so deeply."

The emperor looked at Zi Lan deeply, thinking that it was right to come to find her, and it coincided with his own thoughts.

"The benefits of mutual trading are more than that. I have been thinking about this idea for more than a year. Do I have any paper and pen?"

Zi Lan looked around and saw a pen on the table. She stood up and took a ready-made rice paper and a pen. She brought in the ink and poured some tea into it to grind it.

The Seventh Prince took it over and grind it for her. Zi Lan ordered ink and started painting. She drew a simple map.

"You see, this is a picture of the northwest and the north. If it is a trade between the two countries, it will not only be cheaper, but also allow our own people to live a good life. Can we sell local specialties to the south and north?

You can also transport the east and west of the north all the way south, and ship it with shipment and sea. These are things with local characteristics, thus forming a new business road and prospering the big and small counties along the way, giving the people an additional survival choice.

We can buy horses from the grassland and bring them back to raise and enrich our own horse farms. All of these can be done.

Once these ideas can be accomplished, if Tatar or Yuehua have disputes of interests, it will be impossible to alliance again. Only with common interests can unite. Now the Great Zhou can give them enough benefits. Why should they take risks? Doesn’t they spend money on wars? There is no money left in the sky.”

Zi Lan looked a little dissatisfied, and the two brothers couldn't help laughing.
