"There is no news, but he replaced Wang Yu as the left commander of the Imperial Guard."

"Then, he became even more low-key. Except when he was on duty, he was basically at home."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded again.

Although he obtained the position of commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, it did not mean that the King of Jin would be prosperous.

Since ancient times, royal battles have been very troublesome.

You can't just look at the surface of many things. Sometimes the better the surface is, the more dangerous it is in reality.

If King Jin had not obtained this position, he would still be safe. After all, a prince with no power and no fiefdom had anything to worry about?

Now His Majesty has given the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Left, and it seems that he trusts King Jin. In fact, if you think about it carefully, this may not be a test for King Jin.

"Is he at home today?"

"Young lady, I don't know. If you want to see Prince Jin, please send me a post and have a look."

Lu Yaoyao nodded and immediately told Qiu Shuang to go there personally.

"Wanfu County, do you want to meet with me?"

In the study, King Jin looked at the invitation card handed over by Yan San with surprise on his face.

"What is she doing when she sees me at this time?"

Although he had some friendship with the head of Wanfu County, they met in private and had never sent such a formal invitation to the other party's house.

"I don't know, my subordinate. Do you want to see me, Your Majesty?"

Hearing this, King Jin pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "See you."

He wanted to know what Lu Yaoyao wanted to do when he came to see him.

At the same time, in the palace, Emperor Hongwen also received the news that Lu Yaoyao wanted to meet King Jin.

"What is she going to do with Prince Jin?"

Emperor Hongwen frowned slightly.

Wang De shook his head and said he didn't know.

Emperor Hongwen thought for a while and did not analyze too much. He still trusted Lu Yaoyao. As for King Jin, he was not sure about his current attitude.

He needs to employ people, and he won't trust casual people.

As for King Jin, he understands. He wants to trust him, but is afraid to trust him. Anyway, it's a very complicated mentality.

Lu Yaoyao received a reply quickly.

Then she immediately asked someone to prepare a carriage, and she was going to the capital.

But when she arrived in the capital, she immediately ordered the coachman to go to the palace first.

"Miss, aren't you going to see Prince Jin? How can you get to the palace?"

"Let's talk business."

"Business talk?"

Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yu looked at each other in shock.

Is my young lady so powerful now? She actually went to the palace to discuss business? With whom? His Majesty the Emperor?

"Miss, you don't want to buy iron from His Majesty, do you?"

"Why do you want to buy it? I'm going to give him iron, and then I can get some for myself."

"Send iron? Do we have iron?"

Qiu Shuang was confused by Lu Yaoyao's words and had no idea what she meant.

"I'll tell you more about it later."

Soon the carriage arrived at the entrance of the palace. The guards stopped and asked, and found out that the carriage was the owner of Wanfu County, so they immediately let it go.

This person holds the imperial gold medal and is deeply favored by His Majesty, but he cannot afford to offend him.

The carriage entered the palace, and immediately a young chamberlain came over to lead the way.

"Your Majesty, the Lord Wanfu County wishes to see you."

Emperor Hongwen, who was reviewing the memorial, thought there was something wrong with his ears when he heard Wang De's words.

He raised his head in confusion and asked, "Who did you say you just wanted to see?"

"Master Wanfu County, people are already outside."

"Isn't she going to see Prince Jin? Why did she come to me?"

As soon as he said these words, Wang De's expression immediately became strange.

Just now he was greeted by the little chamberlain, and he immediately went outside. When he saw the Lord Wanfu County, he learned that she wanted to see His Majesty, so he asked casually what the reason was.

As a result, the head of Wanfu County said three words.

"The Lord Wanfu County said he wants to discuss business with you."

"Business talk?"

Emperor Hongwen's voice rose one level.

"What the hell is this girl doing?"

He was a little speechless. He had been the emperor for ten years, but he had never met such a master who came to the imperial study room to discuss business with him.

He put down the memorial, rubbed his forehead, and continued, "Let her come in."

Soon, Lu Yaoyao walked in from outside and saluted first.

"I heard that you want to discuss business with me?"

"Yes, my lord, there is a big business here. Come and ask Your Majesty if you are interested?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen's eyes twitched slightly. They were really talking about business, and it was big business.

"Oh? What kind of business? Tell me."

"iron."

The moment her voice fell, Emperor Hongwen's expression changed and his eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Bold."

He suddenly raised his voice, which startled Lu Yaoyao, and she rolled her eyes.

"Your Majesty, you scared me."

"."

Emperor Hongwen, Wang De and other chamberlains.

"Your Majesty, please don't get excited. My business is very good. Why don't you listen to it first? I guarantee that after listening, you will definitely agree to do this business with me."

"oh?"

At this time, Emperor Hongwen became interested.

Looking at Lu Yaoyao, he couldn't figure out where she got the confidence to say such a thing.

"Tell me about it."

"No hurry, before I say anything, I want to ask Your Majesty, how much iron can our Dongzhou court produce in a year?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Hongwen did not answer immediately. After all, this matter was related to the military.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I have no idea why I asked this question. It's just that I don't know much about this aspect. Since I want to talk about the iron business in detail, I naturally need some numerical values."

After waiting for a while, Emperor Hongwen said, "The imperial court can produce about 400,000 jins of iron every year."

"Why so little?"

Lu Yaoyao was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

My dear, the territory of Dongzhou is not small. As far as she knows, the situation of Dongzhou is similar to that of the Chinese country on Earth in her previous life. They are both vast and rich in resources, and the area of ​​the two countries is quite different.

For such a large land, only 400,000 kilograms of iron can be produced in one year. Isn’t this too little?

"few?"

Emperor Hongwen was a little speechless, but he still talked about the highest output in the past years.

"What about the aristocratic family?"

"A little less than the imperial court, about two hundred thousand catties."

Although the aristocratic families in Dongzhou are rampant, some things are not unique to them, especially important resources like Xiang Tie. If the aristocratic families dared to monopolize them, they would have been destroyed by the court long ago.

"They sell half of it to the court every year."

"Oh oh oh."

"Then I have a way to double the iron produced by the imperial court every year. Your Majesty must do this business."

As soon as her voice fell, Emperor Hongwen had already stood up.

"What did you say?"

Lu Yaoyao repeated it again.

"Twice as much? Are you serious?"

"Of course you take it seriously. A servant girl would not dare to deceive the king."

Lu Yaoyao continued to laugh.

"Okay, okay, Wang De, quickly give me a seat for Wanfu."
