When smart people speak to smart people, they often become more concise and clear.

In this spice trade, the Ming Dynasty played the role of a middleman and the profits were extremely abundant, which was undoubtedly an unreasonable existence.

Lin Junran was afraid that Xu Jie had no problem, so he immediately explained: "The Folang Ji people not only needed spices, but also silk, so they always wanted to establish diplomatic relations with our Ming Dynasty! The main reasons why these tribal leaders in Nanyang were willing to sell spices to us were two main reasons: one was that the premise of the transaction was that both parties could abide by the agreement, but the leaders of the tribe in Nanyang did not have the strength to trade fairly with the Folang Ji people. They were usually robbed by the Folang Ji people or bought spices at a low price, so they needed the Ming Dynasty, a country of etiquette. Secondly, the countries in Nanyang did not have a strong desire for gold and silver, and they needed our Ming Dynasty and other products."

"Tea and horses..." Xu Jie said something as if he had some clarity when he heard Lin Xu Ran's explanation, but he felt it was inappropriate when he spoke, so he turned around and said awkwardly: "Uh... Ruoyu has a profound understanding. These Nanyang people do not have the ability to trade fairly with the Folang Ji people, so they really need to rely on us!"

The Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian Tatar tribes once established a trade in the Horse Market. However, during the transaction between the two sides, the Mongolians had bad behaviors of buying and selling, which led to the Ming Dynasty's choice to close the Horse Market.

By the same token, the Nanyang tribe did not have the specific strength to trade fairly with the Folang Ji people, so they had reason to sacrifice some unrealized profits to curry favor with the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Junran knew that Xu Jie had already understood the mystery, and immediately struck while the iron was hot and said: "When the Xiaguan was the deputy envoy of Guangdong's Hainan Tour Guide, he also realized the gap in strength between the two sides, so he had this idea at that time. If this trade relationship could be reached, it would be beneficial to our Ming Dynasty without any harm. First, this would strengthen the influence of our Ming Dynasty's lord over Nanyang; second, it would be able to make profits for the Ming Dynasty, which would also be considered as sharing the worries of the emperor. This strategy is a move that benefits the country and the people. Please ask Lord Yuan Fu to help you!"

In the trade at the national level of all dynasties, due to the royal face, the Ming Dynasty has always been a "snatcher". Therefore, some eunuchs advised Xianzong to follow the example of Ming Chengzu and return to the West. No wonder Liu Daxia angrily burned Zheng He's treasure map for voyage to the West to prevent this "lose money" behavior.

However, in this national trade, the Ming Dynasty played the role of a central businessman. Although it enfeoffed some more vassal states to Nanyang, it could undoubtedly increase the income of the government.

Xu Jie looked at Lin Qinran with complicated eyes. If this matter was really done, Lin Qinran would not only be supported by more reform officials, but would probably be able to leave his name in history.

He slowly put down the teacup. After thinking for a moment, he looked up at Lin Xuran and asked seriously: "Mr. Lin wanted to promote this matter when he first took office, but he didn't know what selfishness?"

After so many years in this officialdom, he naturally knew that humans were not sages, and officials were even more physical and mortal. Lin Qingran spent so much effort to promote this matter, which was definitely impossible to only benefit the Ming Dynasty, and there must be personal thoughts.

Lin Junran didn't expect Xu Jie to ask so bluntly, but knew that it would be better to be honest at this time than to deceive, so he responded: "I will not hide it from Master Yuanfu, Xiaguan has always adhered to the political concept of opening the sea in the Ming Dynasty. If the court reached a trade relationship with the leaders of the tribes such as Folangji and Nanyang, then the matter of opening the sea would not be easily overturned. Guangdong can also enjoy the benefits of opening the sea promoted by Xiaguan, and Xiaguan can also win higher reputations."

Reputation, this is the explanation given by Lin Weiran.

"Is that all?" Xu Jie's hands were playing with the teacup, and he looked at Lin Weiran with his eyes narrowed.

Lin Junran smiled and looked at Xu Jie and said, "The officials are determined to do more for the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time they want to share their worries for the emperor. Lord Yuan Fu would not really believe what the outside world said. The officials accepted bribes from those envoys of South China, so they vigorously promoted them to meet the saints, right?"

A bitter smile immediately appeared on Xu Jie's face. Lin Qingran had a deep relationship with the United Business Group, so how could he work hard because of a little bribery from the Nanyang Mission?

Officials at their level would not have taken risks personally if they were not involved in Huaiyan’s hundreds of thousands of taels a year, for the sake of more power.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He knew that the emperor's intention was already obvious, so he followed the flow and said: "You send the specific document to you. If you really benefit the country and the people, I will naturally be happy to see it!"

"If this is the case, I will thank Lord Yuanfu in advance!" Lin Junran saw Xu Jie agreeing, and put down the big stone hanging in his heart, and gave a respectful tribute.

With the support of Jiajing and Xu Jie, this matter is a foregone conclusion.

Seeing that the purpose was achieved, Lin Qingran chatted with Xu Jie for a while, then took the initiative to say goodbye and leave. This trip to the West Garden had achieved the expected gains.

As soon as Lin Xu Fan left, he hurriedly walked in and asked excitedly: "Dad, is Lin Ruoyu really going to be transferred to Nanjing?"

Lin Shiran's current popularity and status are enough to attract the attention of the entire capital officialdom. With the news that Lin Shiran was summoned to the palace, the attention of today's capital officialdom is concentrated on Lin Shiran.

Xu Fan was the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and was actually a high-level idle position. At the instigation of Tao Shien, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, he decided to go to the palace to inquire about the news and get first-hand news from his father.

Xu Jie looked at Xu Fan's happy face, but felt a little angry in his heart, and responded calmly: "Who did you hear me?"

"Dad, it's been spreading outside now. It's said that Lin Junran was demoted to Nanjing to serve as the Left Minister of Justice!" Xu Fan pointed outside and said seriously.

This is often the case. Even if it is unreasonable speculation by some people, it will soon become a fact that has a nose and eyes after word of mouth.

Xu Jie sorted out the memorials on the table, but said calmly: "I have taught you a long time ago that things should be real and hearing are false. Why are you not making progress like this?"

"Dad, Lin Xu Ran was not transferred to Nanjing by the emperor?" Xu Fan was a smart person. Seeing his father responding in this way, he restrained his excitement and was in a mood to ask.
