Hearing Yan Yuru asks about how he should choose, Lekong did not rush to answer. Instead, he smiled and asked Yan Yuru: "Yuru, if his father is going to be unfavorable to the prince, what will you do then?"

"Me?" Yan Yuru was stunned when she heard her brother's rebellious question, and then she also showed a confused look on her face. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but I like my current life very much and don't want to help the evil again."

"Yuru, you have been a little weak since childhood, otherwise you would not have been held hostage by that person with family affection for so many years." When he heard his sister's answer, Lekong sighed.

"Brother, you..." Yan Yuru was stunned when she heard Kong's words, because she could hear a trace of unusual meaning from Kong's words.

"It's time to make a break. You can't let him keep making mistakes like this anymore, but you don't have to worry about this matter, I will deal with everything!" Lekong said calmly at this time, but at the end of the day, a look of pain flashed across his face. If he had not had to force him, he wouldn't want to go to this last step.

"Brother, what are you going to do? My father's whereabouts are hidden. Even we don't know his true identity now. He also has a powerful force in his hand, and the support of the Liao Kingdom behind him. Although the Liao Kingdom is in civil strife, his power in the Song Dynasty has not been affected. How could you fight him alone? "Yan Yuru couldn't help but persuade him anxiously when she heard Kong's words, ¤, ww■, she no longer has any affection. It is precisely because of this that she doesn't want anything else to happen to the only brother in front of her.

"Yuru, don't worry, I know more about that person than you, and I knew his true identity even a few years ago." When Lekong said this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was precisely after he knew the true identity of that person that he no longer had any feelings for that person, and he could even say he hated him a little.

"But even if you know his identity, what can you do to him, brother, and brother, don't hurt him, okay? After all, he is our father!" Yan Yuru said at the end, and looked painful on her face. No matter how cold and ruthless his father was, in her heart, the other party was still her relative.

"Don't worry, I already have a complete plan. I just need to catch him and take him out of here. I will never hurt him." Lekong sighed at this time. Although he hated the so-called father very much, as a son, he could never do anything like killing his father.

After hearing Kong say this, Yan Yuru was relieved, and she did not ask Kong what his plan was, because she knew that even if she asked herself, the eldest brother would not tell him.

In the afternoon, Lekong went to the microscope to listen to Zhao Yan's lecture, then said goodbye to Zhao Yan and returned to his own Xiangji Temple. However, as soon as Lekong returned to his residence, he immediately picked up a pen and wrote a letter. Then he took out a pigeon from the side yard and tied the letter to the pigeon's legs and let it fly. As for him, he had to wait next. After all, he didn't know when that person would suddenly appear?

On this day, Zhao Yan took a rare leave and then took a carriage to the palace. In addition, Princess Dening, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang also accompanied them. This time they entered the palace mainly to solve the troubles encountered by Princess Dening's fleet, and the only one who could solve the problem was Zhao Shu.

"Hey, why are you four brothers and sisters coming together?" Zhao Shu, who was reviewing the memorial, said in surprise when he saw Zhao Yan and the other four coming in. Speaking of which, since Zhao Yan moved outside the city, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang have also lived with Zhao Yan for many years, and their youngest son Zhao Feng also studied at Zhao Yan, which left Zhao Shu with the only eldest son Zhao Xu, who was by his side.

"Hehe, my third brother has cured my father's illness before. My sisters have long wanted to visit him." Princess Dening is the oldest and of course the first to smile. At this time, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang also stepped forward and asked about Zhao Shu's body with concern, which made Zhao Shu laugh happily.

Princess Dening and the other three met Zhao Shu. Zhao Yan also interjected a few words from time to time. Finally, Princess Dening and the others stood up to say goodbye because they had to go to the palace to pay tribute to Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Gao. Zhao Shu did not keep them, but just reminded them to come and see them often in the future.

After seeing off Princess Dening away, Zhao Shu looked at Zhao Yan and asked with a smile: "Tell me, today you siblings and brothers suddenly came to see me together. You must be unhappy. Have you encountered any trouble again?"

"Hehe, Dad, you are wronged by Erchen and others. This time, Erchen and his sisters came here. In fact, there is something to discuss with you about getting rich." Zhao Yan said with a smile when he heard Zhao Shu's words.

"Get rich?" Zhao Shu was stunned when he heard this word, then laughed and said, "I don't have time to accompany you brothers and sisters to do business, so if you have any money, you should do it yourself!"

Seeing that Zhao Shu didn't understand his meaning, Zhao Yan explained immediately: "Dad, you misunderstood. My son is not saying that he wants to do business, but wants to open up a financial path for the court. With this financial path, he dare not say that the court will no longer be short of money in the future, but the annual income is definitely beyond Dad's imagination!"

Zhao Shu couldn't help but look at him in shock when he heard Zhao Yan's words. He understood Zhao Yan's personality. If he was not sure, he would probably not dare to say these words. Thinking of this, Zhao Shu couldn't help but say excitedly: "Yan'er, what do you mean by wealth?"

"The court has actually noticed this financial situation, that is the southern sea trade." Zhao Yan said with a light smile.

"Maritime Trade?" Zhao Shu couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard this, "I know that maritime trade has a very generous income, but the risks taken are also huge. The court cannot transport goods to sell like those merchants, and can only charge some taxes. Although such income is quite large, it is actually very limited."

"Hehe, Daddy is wrong. The interests of Hai Trade are far more than those you see. Not to mention anything else, the abundant overseas products alone are enough for me to covet..."

As Zhao Yan said that, he told him about the overseas products he knew, especially the products in Nanyang, such as spices, gold, copper ore, rice and grain, etc. These things were urgently needed by the Song Dynasty. Every time Zhao Yan said that, Zhao Shu's eyes would brighten a little.

After finally waiting for Zhao Yan to finish his speech, Zhao Shu's saliva was almost flowing out. It was the first time he realized that Nanyang, which had always been regarded as a wild land by the Song Dynasty, was so rich. However, Zhao Shu quickly shook his head and sighed: "Yan'er, although the things you are talking about are good, they are all on other people's land, and the distance is far. We can't drive a boat to grab it, right?"

I really want to rob. Zhao Yan thought to himself, but he only dared to think about this sentence in his heart. After all, this era is different from later generations. This is an era where etiquette and integrity are important in everything. If you rob someone just because Yan greed for other people's wealth, you will definitely attack him. Zhao Yan doesn't want to bear this infamous.

"Dad, you can't rob it, but we can do business with the locals. The silk and porcelain of our Song Dynasty are very popular goods. Sometimes you only need a plate to exchange for a large amount of spices and gold. You can't give up such a good business." Zhao Yanyan said insincerely.

"But aren't those maritime merchants already doing such business?" Zhao Shu asked strangely at this time. He didn't understand the difference between what Zhao Yan said about sea trade and current sea trade?

"Dad, now there are indeed many maritime merchants in our Song Dynasty who are doing maritime trade business, including my elder sister's family, but these maritime merchants do not have a unified organization, have no contact with each other, and even compete for business. This is not a good thing for the development of maritime trade."

Zhao Yan paused at this point, and then said, "In addition, the ships of the sea merchants are most afraid of two things. The first is the wind and waves on the sea. This is a natural disaster. We can only try our best to avoid it. In addition, improve the ships and increase the safety of navigation. The second is pirates. These pirates are domineering on the sea surface, even rowing the ground to be kings, levied heavy taxes on passing sea merchants, which is the end of the destruction of ships. It can be said that the harm of pirates has exceeded that of natural disasters, and it is also the thing that pirates are most afraid of encountering."

After hearing what Zhao Yan said, Zhao Shu couldn't help but frown and asked, "Yan'er, what are your plans for these things? Why not just say it out?"

Zhao Yan was also waiting for Zhao Shu's words. He said excitedly: "Dad, what I mean is this. The current maritime trade is so chaotic. Why not let the court come forward and organize the loose maritime merchants, and then the court will uniformly allocate and manage them. In addition, these maritime merchants who are willing to obey the command of the court can also get some benefits, such as the court can send warships to escort them to prevent them from being robbed..."

"Wait a minute, it's okay for the court to come forward to organize maritime merchants, but if warships are sent, it will cost a lot every time, and the court can't afford it!" Zhao Shu suddenly interrupted Zhao Yan at this time.

Hearing Zhao Shu's words, Zhao Yan laughed and said, "Why is Dad so confused? Our court naturally cannot just work hard and not collect money. If those maritime merchants want to be protected by the court, they naturally have to pay a portion of the tax. In addition, the court can also participate in maritime trade, which is all money!"
