My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 442 Anything can be traded
"Brother Liu, what do you see over there?" The queen suddenly pointed to a corner of the hall and said.

Young Master Liu looked over lightly, there was nothing but a piece of veil, and he immediately knew that he had been fooled, this bitch must be planning some kind of conspiracy.

The moment Young Master Liu turned his head, the Queen looked at Young Master Liu's neck. When she held Young Master Liu hostage in Jiangnan, she clearly remembered that there was a black mole the size of a grain of rice on the back of Liu Mingzhi's neck.

If the person in front of him doesn't have a mole, it means that this person is really not Liu Mingzhi. If there is, the truth will be revealed. No matter how he pretends, Liu Mingzhi can't change the truth.

two?How could it be two?Obviously I remember only one mole.

"Your Majesty, what did you show the ministers? The ministers didn't see anything!"

The empress nodded disappointedly: "Maybe I misunderstood it, Mr. Liu, please sit down and discuss the matter of the border cross market. I am busy with official duties, and it has indeed delayed a lot of days."

"In that case, of course there is no problem with the minister, please sit down, Your Majesty."

The queen nodded, returned to her seat absent-mindedly, and made a gesture at the same time, and many men in black on the beams retreated into a hidden place and became motionless.

"Master Liu, the matter of the border trade is no small matter. I originally planned to hand over this matter to the grand master and other officials, but it seems that Jin Guo despises the matter of diplomatic relations with Dalong, so I plan to personally discuss with Master Liu. Discuss this matter."

"Your Majesty has a heart. As His Majesty said, the mutual trade at the border is the most important issue concerning the livelihood of the people of the two countries. Naturally, it is not a trifle. Your Majesty can personally preside over this matter. It is a great honor for the ministers. The mutual trade at the border is to exchange what is needed, and encourage caravans to come and go Trade, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, if Dalong and the Kingdom of Jin can work together to facilitate this, their names will surely go down in history."

After hearing Eldest Young Master Liu's words, the Queen played with the wine glass and pondered for a while: "Master Liu, I would like to toast you."

"Your Majesty was joking. It should be the servant who respects Your Majesty with a glass of wine." Young Master Liu saw the wine glass raised by the Empress, and hurriedly greeted it.

After drinking a cup, the Empress put down the wine glass and pondered for a while: "Master Liu, did Emperor Dalong tell Master Liu how to implement, how to manage, and how to arrange the affairs of the border crossing market?"

"Beyond the northern border of Dalong and the south of the Jin Kingdom, a hundred miles southeast of the Turks, choose a place with rich water sources, a flat and open terrain, and a place with smooth roads. The three countries will fund and build a border town for merchants from all over the world to trade and trade with each other. .”

"How to manage the joint construction of the three countries?"

"This is naturally simple. The town is divided into three. No matter where the merchant sets up a stall to trade, he must call a tax bill to the market department of each country. The specific amount of tax bill to be paid depends on the size of the goods. At the same time, the three countries The entry tax for merchants entering and exiting each city will be cancelled, and the tax and silver issues will be managed uniformly by the municipalities of each country."

The queen thought about it for a while, and gradually looked at First Young Master Liu with bright eyes: "Master Liu is really an expert in making money."

"Your Majesty is admirable. This is all for the convenience of management. The imperial court funded the construction of a border town and the cost is not a small amount. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport goods and materials. The imperial court provides a safe and convenient trading place for merchants. Merchant There is always a price to pay, otherwise why would the imperial court prepare these thankless things."

"What if there are too many supplies and cannot be poured out in a short time?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Bundchen has thought about this issue long ago. There will be many warehouses next to the exchange market to be used by caravans to store a large amount of supplies."

The queen looked at First Young Master Liu anxiously: "You want to pay too?"

"This is natural, otherwise, how can there be such a good thing if we waste material resources to build so many warehouses for nothing?"

The queen nodded knowingly: "How to solve the safety problem of the important town of the exchange market? You must know that there are many horse bandits wandering around in the deserted Gobi desert. From what you said, the exchange market is a delicious piece of fat. These horse bandits are impossible Don't be disturbed."

"The three countries each sent [-] soldiers to protect the safety of the mutual market. The food and salaries of the soldiers of the three countries were distributed from the taxes paid by the caravans of each country. If you protect the mutual market, you will have a salary. If you fail, you will not only have no salary, but you will be punished. Serving as a soldier eats food. For the sake of their own salaries and the expenses of the whole family, these [-] soldiers will not dare to slack off, but will unite as one to protect the safety of the exchange market. With elite soldiers protecting the safety of the exchange market, how many horse bandits dare to harass the exchange market in the border city?"

"One prospers, one prospers, one loses both. Combining will benefit both, and dividing will harm both. Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu, a mere civil servant, knows how to use troops."

Young Master Liu's expression froze, and he immediately returned to normal: "Your Majesty was joking, Bangchen just read a few books in his spare time, he doesn't know how to use soldiers, he just dabbles a little bit."

"Oh!" The empress nodded strangely with her cherry lips parted slightly: "I don't know what art of war Master Liu reads?"

"It's just some small tricks that can't be put on the table. Your Majesty, let's continue to talk about the border trade."

Seeing that the Queen was getting off topic, Young Master Liu had no choice but to remind the Queen to get back to the topic.

The queen nodded lightly: "That's fine, it's my fault, Mr. Liu, I don't know what kind of things are traded in the border crossing market? Or can it be traded no matter what? Did the Dragon Emperor give a clear answer?"

"Naturally, the mutual market and the mutual market can trade with each other no matter what, otherwise, wouldn't it live up to the title of the mutual market?"

The queen's face was overjoyed, and she looked as if Bai Hua was overshadowed for a moment: "This statement is serious, everything can be traded?"

"Of course it is."

The empress pondered for a while, then leaned lightly towards Young Master Liu's table, her expression was serious and her tone was indifferent: "Is it okay if I want to buy Dalong's weapons and armor?"

For some unknown reason, the hall was as warm as spring, and the empress who had just bathed was only wearing a light casual dress, so it was inevitable that she would lose her clothes due to such a large inclination.

Young Master Liu's mind went blank, and he quickly lowered his forehead, not daring to think about the snow-white that just caught his eyes, he let out a few breaths, and Young Master Liu gradually calmed down the restlessness in his heart.

The Empress naturally didn't realize that she was gone, and was watched three out of ten by First Young Master Liu. She still looked at First Young Master Liu seriously, and was a little disappointed to see him lower her head.

"Master Liu, is it possible that weapons and armor are not within the scope of trade? Did Master Liu just say that everything can be traded? A gentleman can't be followed by a word. Isn't Master Liu trying to backtrack on what he says?"

"Of course not. Weapons and armor can naturally be traded, but what about the price?"

The queen waved her jade hand: "Money is not a problem, it's just that Mr. Liu can guarantee that the weapons and armor are also within the scope of the transaction?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, my emperor has entrusted the matter of the frontier trade to the ministers, and the ministers can naturally guarantee this issue."

The queen's eyes were fixed: "Look into my eyes and tell me that weapons and armor can also be traded."

Young Master Liu raised his head subconsciously, and immediately lowered his head. There was no other way. The Queen kept leaning forward and looked at him seriously. As long as he raised his head, he would inevitably see something he shouldn't. It's not that he didn't want to see it, but that he didn't Dare to see, good things are not as important as your own life.

The queen's eyes were sharp: "Lord Liu, why don't you dare to look at me? Could it be that the trade matter is just empty talk, so it's hard for me to believe the sincerity of Emperor Dalong towards the mutual market."

"This minister dare not look directly at His Majesty's face."

"I forgive you for your innocence. Watching me tell me that weapons and armor can also be traded."

"Okay okay."

Reluctantly, First Young Master Liu could only look up at Wanyan Wanyan.
