Facing the Jiajing problem, Lin Xuran immediately responded with a sincere face: "How dare I deceive the emperor? The people of the Bolang Ji and the documents of Johor were also brought to the capital this time. I have brought officials from the Siyi Pavilion to check it a few days ago.

, the documents he signed are true! And Johor has compiled a book to the Ministry of Rites, confirming that the two countries have made good friends!"

"Get up!" Jiajing's tone became softer, and he said sincerely: "The past was just a word from me, so you are so silly! Now the people of Folang Ji have already made friends with Johor and will be Malacca City.

If it is converted to loan, then the matter will be abandoned and you will not mention it again in the future!”

this……

Xu Jie's eyes glared slightly, looking at the high emperor in disbelief. Is this still the domineering emperor who has always been unreasonable?

"The emperor is wise!" Lin Qingran secretly breathed a breath of turbid air, gave a respectful gift, and then stood up from the ground.

Huang Jin stood beside Jiajing, saw the reactions of the two ministers, and a shallow smile appeared on his face.

Jiajing looked up at Lin Weiran, but he changed his mind and said, "King Yu reported that the people of Folang Ji are willing to sign a transaction with our Ming Dynasty for 5,000 kilograms of spices and 10,000 pieces of silk every year. Is this true?"

When Xu Jie heard this, and the matter actually involved King Yu, he immediately realized something different.

"Report to the emperor, this is true! The people of Folangji came across the ocean, one for silk and the other for spices. They just wanted to sell goods back from the Ming Dynasty to make huge profits!" Lin Qingran immediately bowed and responded.

Jiajing nodded slowly, and said with a firm thought: "Lin Aiqing, go back and make arrangements. I can meet the envoys of Folangji!"

"I received the order!" Lin Junran was overjoyed and immediately polite.

Jiajing put the bamboo tube in his hand on the table and reminded Lin Qingran: "You are still young, so you should be more cautious in your actions in the future and don't do such things that are easy to be deemed to be true!"

Why!

Seeing that things had developed to this point, Xu Jie knew that Lin Xuran had successfully overcome this catastrophe. I am afraid that many officials were greatly disappointed by this result.

"The emperor is a wise king. I believe that as long as I am dedicated to doing things for the emperor, I don't need to be afraid of being a villain!" Lin Qingran immediately knelt down and responded with justice.

When Jiajing heard this, a rare smile appeared on his face, and he responded gently: "You are right. I am indeed not a foolish monarch. Who are you, the ministers, are you dedicated to doing things for me?

I actually know it clearly in my heart!”

Speaking of this, he suddenly showed the emperor's spirit and waved his hand and said, "You should do things for me in the future. If you really commit such a thing, I will protect you and will not be like Qin Minglei.

Being blinded by the little girl!”

this……

Xu Jie couldn't help but glared. This gave Lin Qingran an amulet, and Qin Minglei's self-righteous attacks even shot himself in the foot.

In this political struggle, Lin Weiran not only won a great victory, but also fought back against Qin Minglei.

"The emperor is wise and candlelight. I am willing to die for Your Majesty!" Lin Qingran forced his eyes to turn red, and he looked very moved and expressed his loyalty.

Jiajing seemed very satisfied with Lin Junran's statement, nodded slightly, raised his hand to Xu Jie next to him and said, "I am tired, you all retreat!"

"I will leave, long live my emperor!"

Xu Jie and Lin Weiran saluted together, then turned around and left the palace.

Jiajing watched the two of them leave, and was planning to have a lunch break, but asked Huang Jin who was approaching and said, "What do you think of Lin Qingran?"

"Report to my master, if you talk about the way to make money, Yan Ne is probably not as good as that!" Huang Jin responded immediately.

Jiajing nodded in approval and prepared for the future: "If an agreement is really reached with the Folang Ji people, the Suzhou-Hangzhou Weaving Bureau will have to send someone to take care of it!"

In the past, the Suzhou-Hangzhou Weaving Bureau was only responsible for the use of Gongyanyi, but now he signed 10,000 pieces of silk with the Folang Jiren, and he had to send someone to manage it well.

"I wonder which official the emperor is going to send?" Huang Jin learned that the emperor wanted the Suzhou-Hangzhou Weaving Bureau to be responsible for producing 10,000 pieces of silk every year, and immediately asked curiously.

Jiajing stood up and stretched his waist, glanced at him, "The Suzhou-Hangzhou Weaver Bureau has always been responsible for the supervision of the construction. Is it appropriate for the foreign minister to take charge of this matter? You should choose a suitable eunuch!"

"I'm going to take the order!" Huang Jin endured his excitement and responded to Jiajing.

The Suzhou-Hangzhou Weaving Bureau is the big oil and water of their eunuchs. Now there is a big order of 20 taels per 10,000,000 pieces, which is visible oil and water. If this matter can be really settled and he arranged for his own people to go to Suzhou, then

The silver tribute will definitely rise significantly every year.

Wuyi Palace, the chief minister’s duty room.

Lin Qingran did not leave Xiyuan immediately, but was invited by Xu Jie and followed Xu Jie to the duty room. The banner "Return to the Lord with his power and blessings, return to the government affairs, and return to the public with the use of punishment and rewards" was still

Hanging high on the wall.

A cabinet official sent tea in and then quietly retreated.

Xu Jie sat down at the tea table, pointed to the chair opposite and smiled, "Ruoyu, sit down!"

"Mr. Xie Yuanfu!" Lin Weiran kept a faint smile on his face and said in a manner that he looked polite.

Xu Jie picked up the teacup and tasted it briefly, then asked straight to the point: "The Folang Jiren is willing to sign a transaction of 5,000 kilograms of spices and 10,000 pieces of silk every year with me. I wonder what the price is?"

Because he was born in Songjiang Prefecture, the Xu family is now the largest weaver in Songjiang Prefecture, which made Xu Jie's view on business stronger than that of the vast majority of officials.

However, this matter was directly submitted to the emperor by King Yu, and it did not go through the cabinet, so the specific transaction details are unknown, and it is not clear whether the transaction is a loss or a profit.

"Twenty taels of silk per piece! In addition, the price of spices is more than gold, and 5,000 jin is 200,000 jin!" Lin Qingran did not hide it and immediately responded honestly.

Xu Jie finally understood why the emperor's attitude changed. Compared with that insignificant word of the past, the gift Lin Qingran gave was indeed tempting.

His brows frowned slightly, but he asked in confusion: "This silk is easy to solve, but what does spice mean? Where do we get these five thousand kilograms of spices?"

"Spices are indeed not a specialty of our Ming Dynasty. They are mainly produced in the South Ocean! The Beishan tribe, Batangas and Wusuguo all produce spices, so the officials also hoped that the court could grant them the title of vassal kings and the two countries signed the title.

When we get the transaction documents, we can exchange iron pots, porcelain and cloth for spices!" Lin Weiran responded seriously.

Xu Jie thought for a moment while holding the teacup, then asked again: "How much does their spices cost? Should we pay for silver?"

"Their spices are not very valuable in the local area! The officials have communicated with them in private. They can accept a discount of 20% of gold, but it is more appropriate to give 30%!" Lin Qingran said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
