The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

After tasting potatoes, corn and peppers, Xia Huang not only had a full appetite, but also his spirit was full of satisfaction because of the hope for the future, with a smile on his face.

"Father, my son will send you back to the palace." Xiao Rui said diligently.

Emperor Xia nodded, but when he thought of getting up, he was taken aback, then looked at Xiao Rui, smiled and asked, "Are you driving me back to the palace?"

Xiao Rui hurriedly said, "How dare your children! Where do you start?"

Emperor Xia asked, "Can you ask about other rewards after you urge me to leave? Are you afraid that I will be greedy for your money?"

Xiao Rui did mean this. His Majesty could see through this careful thought. He is indeed his father, he can't deceive him at all, but he can't show the slightest on his face, and he has to say anxiously: "Father, this is wrong. My minister! My son has never thought about it like that. Besides, my son doesn't like money. I don't have any idea about money. Money is something outside of my body. Why does my son want so much money?"

Having said these words, Xiao Rui felt an unprecedented invigoration, and finally understood Dad Ma’s emotions. It was so cool!

"Then I will stay and listen to the other gains of this nautical trade." Xia Huang said with a smile.

Xiao Rui immediately said to Shen Wansan, "Zhong Rong, tell me about the other gains. Haven't the counts been completed yet? You must be too busy!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty, don't worry, your subordinates have already done it lightly, and they are all in their minds!" Shen Wansan said excitedly.

Xiao Rui rolled his eyes immediately and said that for nothing.

Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Zhang Liang laughed secretly, and Shen Wansan, who was always smart, was also confused this time.

I only heard Shen Wansan say: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, this time HNA, through direct exchanges, exchanged with Nanyu countries, and obtained spices, hematoxylin, camphor, sandalwood, pineapple, ambergris, and pepper. , Jewels, magical animals, fruit seedlings, etc., attacked 34 items, including more than 30,000 catties of various spices, countless jewels, and more than 80,000 catties of pepper..."

Shen Wansan said in detail and introduced the harvest of the eight chartered ships in detail.

Xiao Rui listened to the sky, but he had no idea how much it was worth.

At this time, Emperor Xia hit the key point and asked: "How much is it for silver?"

When Xiao Rui heard this, he quickly winked at Shen Wansan, but Shen Wansan thought that His Royal Highness was urging him to make a report, so he said directly: "Return to Your Majesty, this time Southern Expenditure spent 8 million taels to purchase goods, discarding the cost and crew income. , Costs, and repairs to sea ships. If you sell all the goods, you should make a profit of 8 million taels!"

Xia Huang raised his eyebrows and asked: "The net profit of a ship is one million taels?"

Shen Wansan explained: "The main reason is that the goods brought back are relatively scarce, such as spices and gems, which are cheap in Nanyu countries, but when they return to our country, the price will be increased several times, or even ten times, and there is no price. City. The villain also brought back dozens of magical beasts this time with very long necks. It was the first time the villain saw him. The crew all talked about unicorns. Such beasts are definitely expensive..."

"In this way, the profits of maritime trade are very large!" Xia Huang said in surprise.

Shen Wansan said again: "Return to your Majesty, because we are going there for the first time, and the countries of Nanyu are still wary of us, so the price of goods exchange is high. Once the number of times increases and we are familiar with each other, the price can be lowered and the profit will be still Increase by 30%! If we can exchange credential with Nanyu countries, the profit will be higher! What we have, Nanyu countries don’t have, and there are many things in Nanyu countries, we don’t have. Such an exchange will be all money. !"

Emperor Xia nodded. He didn't like the profit this time, but he was fancying a long-term plan! If two or three hundred ships are used for trade, and the profit of one ship is one million taels, then one trip will be comparable to the treasury's annual tax revenue!

Of course, Emperor Xia also understands that once scarce items enter the market, profits will drop directly at that time, but it doesn't matter, even if it drops by 30 to 40%, the profits will be considerable.

But... two to three hundred ships require twenty to thirty thousand people, and with the current shipbuilding technology of Daxia, if you want to build so many large sea ships, you need a huge amount of silver! At that time, the money was not made and the entire treasury was emptied, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Although the craftsmanship of Daxia Kingdom is superb, it is concentrated on armor and weapons. The shipbuilding industry is not developed, mainly because there is not much demand before.

Just when Emperor Xia was thinking about it, Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Father, the maritime trade can proceed step by step. As for shipbuilding technology, the son suggested that the Shipbuilding Department and the Ministry of Industry should find talents to jointly research and invent, and it will surely be able to build larger ships At that time, our Daxia fleet may not only go to Nanyu, but also to the West, or to the East! Maybe after crossing the vast East China Sea, maybe we can discover the new continent."

Emperor Xia returned with a smile and said with a smile: "Yes, this matter should be considered for a long time, and I can't be anxious. Today, I opened my eyes and learned something. It's really true that there are people outside the world and there are heavens and heavens. If you are only confined to one place, don’t go out. I didn’t know it would be so exciting outside! I should go back to the palace too!"

"Send your majesty!" Everyone quickly got up and escorted your majesty back.

Before leaving the house, Emperor Xia suddenly thought of something and said to Xiao Rui: "Emperor, as the saying goes, people who see you have a share, and I don't have a big appetite, six million is enough!"

Xiao Rui: ...

Shen Wansan worked hard for a few months. He has already booked six million taels by your Majesty before he exchanged for silver. In case the goods are sold for less than six million, does he have to post it upside down?

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui felt like doing her dowry in vain.

Shen Wansan was also very confused, what did he hear? In front of him is the current Majesty of Wencheng Wude! But then Shen Wansan admired it even more, because he discovered that His Majesty was so real. No wonder Daxia was able to prosper so much. It turned out that His Majesty saved it bit by bit!

If Xiao Rui knew what Shen Wansan was saying in his heart, I wonder if he would be strangled to death!

Sending away Xia Huang, Xiao Rui stayed for a while, and saw a strange animal called a unicorn, which is actually a giraffe, but for the people of Mainland China who have never seen a giraffe, it is indeed magical. Get a zoo to collect tickets. , You can also make a small profit. But that's a lot of losses. Such a magical animal is naturally sent to Jingyuan. One day, on a whim, I can have a barbecue, double-click the six-six-six.

Then Xiao Rui also returned to the palace.

When I returned to the East Palace, the sky was getting dark, and it was gray during the day. Every sun, who knows, at night, it will snow!

This is all on the third day of March, and it is full of spring in the old days, and now there is a heavy snowfall, and looking at the state of cloud accumulation in the sky, this is another heavy snowfall!

Xiao Rui stood outside the hall, looking at the falling snow, and couldn't help sighing.

I don’t know when, Lu Zhi came up with a cloak, and said softly: "Your Highness, it’s snowing, it’s cold outside!"

Xiao Rui turned his head and smiled, "I have work."

He took the Greatcloak and put it on, stretched out his hand and followed the falling snow, which was big and cold.

"His Royal Highness is worried that the heavy snow will affect the upcoming wedding? There are still twelve days, and it shouldn't be affected." Lu Fei said with relief.

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "I am worried that something bad will come."

"Since you know that bad things are coming, can you just think of ways to solve them? If you can't solve them, then minimize the impact of bad things, and you are not ashamed of it." Lu Fei said.

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Ejiao is right, it is this king who has fallen into a demon."

As he said, he took out a bracelet from his arms, which was strung together with a dozen red gems the size of a thumb, and then handed it to Lu Zhi, and said, "This is a gemstone hand from Nanyu countries. Chuan, this king looked very beautiful, so he brought you one back."

Lu Zhi was taken aback, shook his head hurriedly, and said, "The slave girl dare not accept it."

"Accept it... you are the daughter of Ming Yibo. Unlike ordinary female officials, you don't need to be careful in the East Palace." Xiao Rui smiled.

Lu Jia pursed his mouth, finally took it down, and said, "His Royal Highness is righteous, no wonder the female officer Yan cares about His Royal Highness so much. When returning to the female officer's hall these two nights, the female officer Yan often comes to chat with slaves.

"Little girl is looking for you to chat?" Xiao Rui smiled: "She doesn't have a friend in the palace. It would be great if you can get acquainted with you, and you two can take care of each other. The little girl is kind and intelligent. , If you get along with her for a long time, you will know that she is good."

Lu pheasant smiled, not embarrassed to tell the actual situation.

When I think of Yan Xiaoxiao's temptation to protect her, how can Lu Phae not know what she is thinking?

"Have you eaten dinner?" Lu Fei asked.

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "My king has no appetite. Let the dining room prepare some porridge. After a busy day today, my king will take a bath first."

"Yes!" Lu Fei nodded and immediately arranged.

Soon, the bath tub in the room slowed down the hot water, Xiao Rui took off his clothes and sat in it, the hot water soaked on his chest, and the whole body was comfortable.

Xiao Rui simply covered her face with a hot towel, enjoying the comfort.

Suddenly... the door was pushed open, and a woman Liying flashed in.

The woman walked lightly and slowly approached Xiao Rui~www.wuxiahere.com~ Xiao Rui didn't even notice it! And in the woman's hand, she was holding something.

Soon, after the woman came to the screen, she was close to Xiao Rui.

I saw her... took a deep breath, walked around the screen slowly, and stood behind Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui hadn't noticed it yet, and didn't even know it!

The woman looked at Xiao Rui on the wooden barrel, especially his bare upper body, with her arms resting on the wooden barrel without any defense at all.

The woman squeezed the thing in her hand, her heart was extremely nervous... She took a deep breath, and finally took the last step, completely approaching Xiao Rui, and then she stretched out the hand holding the thing and stretched it towards Xiao Rui's neck.

Xiao Rui didn't know this. This was the imperial palace, his east palace. Outside the palace was guarded by a large number of guards, as well as Li Yuanfang, Dianwei, and Yang Youji. Which assassin could get in?

Coupled with the hot bath to relax his spirit, he didn't notice the people behind him at all!

At this moment, the woman's hand holding something is about to touch him!
