Having said that, this is a huge amount of money. Even if King Min is a prince, he is a little confused.

His father was very strict. When they were princes, they lived in the palace and had no time or opportunity to cultivate their own power. As for things like silver, they were not given much. Therefore, for such a thing, The pen was almost one-third of the bribes given by the court when he came to the vassal state. He only felt that God had given him a problem.

He still can't make up his mind whether to collect or not.

Zhao Qingye lives in the prefect's office. At first, she was not dissatisfied with the prefect's office, but as the residence time extended, she noticed many inconveniences. The regulations between the prefect's office and the royal palace were too different. They were in the royal palace in the capital. The construction is wide and atmospheric, and it is convenient for her to do whatever she does.

However, the prefects in a local area in Zhangzhou are too far apart.

Her residence was very depressed.

After hearing about this, she asked the sixth prince: "Why can't you accept it?"

King Min himself was also very upset, and sighed and said, "If the father knew, he would definitely blame him."

Zhao Qingye thought about it, but he didn't dare to say anything else. She didn't know much about political affairs. Although she didn't like to live in the prefect's office, she didn't dare to give King Min any advice, for fear that King Min would blame her then.

After King Min's hesitation, it was August. August was coming and the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming. He didn't know what festival gifts to send to the capital, and it was very difficult.

At this time, a large merchant from Zhangzhou came to the door and gave a coral that was almost as tall as a man. The coral was red like blood, making people fall in love with it when they saw it.

King Min was overjoyed and wanted to pay the silver. The merchant did not dare to accept it, but said it was just a matter of dedication.

King Min took it and asked who the merchant was.

The prefect of Zhangzhou smiled and said, "I go to sea and do sea business."

King Min understood immediately.

Hong Changshi had told him before that although the imperial court banned sea trade, many people were still doing sea business, selling things to places on the sea, and then exchanged for many things back.

Of course, he had to know his own fiefdom, so he had a special understanding of it.

And Hong Changshi also suggested that he also participate in the business.

There is no other reason. Hong Changshi said it very clearly: "If Your Highness wants to accomplish great things in the future, how can he not have his own strength and army? These all require money, very much money, What are the ways to make more money than the sea trade? This is a business that can pick up money!”

As long as you can return from sea safely, it is almost a profitable business.

King Min was actually moved.

At this time, the best coral of this merchant had completely touched him, and he knew in his heart that this was just the beginning.

He took over the corals, and at the same time, he also handed over the construction of the royal palace to the prefect of Zhangzhou to handle.

He gave the money on the books, but in fact, he had never given a penny.

The construction of his royal palace was in full swing and soon took a preliminary look.

King Min and Zhao Qingye went to see it in person, and they both thought it was very good and very satisfied.

Two months later, the prefect of Zhangzhou mysteriously said to King Min: "Your Highness, it's winter, the sea breeze is strong, and some friends from the sea want to visit you."

This friend from the sea actually refers to being the royal palace for him.

King Min still knew the truth about taking money and eliminating disasters with others. He happened to see them when he had something to do, so he nodded and agreed to the arrangements of the prefect of Zhangzhou.

King Min met the people from the Qiu family.

He also learned from this that the Qiu family is one of the nine major families and one of the first families to start doing maritime business. They accounted for a very good share of the maritime trade business.

Mr. Qiu is very good at speaking and holds King Min everywhere: "In Fujian, there were no vassal kings in the past. Everyone said that our place is a fishing village and looked down on us. Your Highness is now here, just like a dragon entering the sea, it should be our little ones.

It’s time for Xiami to follow His Highness.”

King Min was very happy to hear it. Seeing that he was so energetic that he looked very generous, he asked him, "What do you want?"

The big gift they gave had been accepted. Now King Min felt that he should talk about the conditions and listen to what they were asking for.

Mr. Qiu was very honest. He said carefully: "Your Highness should know our difficulties. To tell you the truth, we actually don't dare to ask for anything. I just hope that your Highness will still promise us to go to sea after he is vassalized by Zhangzhou. We are willing to contribute.

30% of the profit is given to Your Highness.”

30%!

There is no need for King Min to pay, no need for King Min to do anything. As long as King Min can keep his mouth shut, turn a blind eye, and not report the matter, these aristocratic families plan to give 30% of the profit to His Highness King Min.

King Min once again knew the benefits of being a vassal.

No wonder everyone says that fiefdom is the best place to go, and everything can be decided on the fiefdom.

I see.

He did not answer immediately.

After going back, I mentioned it to Hong Changshi.

Hong Changshi, other aides and subordinates all agreed with this. After all, they also need money in their lives. The royal palace needs to be operated and life is comfortable. They need money everywhere.

King Min himself was actually moved.

He finally agreed.

Moreover, he got his first commission before the New Year - a full 200,000 taels.

Two hundred thousand taels of silver! This is only 30%!

King Min was trembling with excitement. With money, he could recruit more guards in private. As long as the officials did not report it, he himself did not want the court's salary. Who could find out? This was simply falling from the sky.

Good thing.

On Zhao Qingye's side, the gifts she received were piled up like mountains.

All were given by local officials and merchants.

These things are even more dazzling than the rewards she received from the palace.

When she was jealous of the gems, Su Qie got more. As a result, when she arrived in Zhangzhou, the gems she received were almost the size of a baby's fist, the ruby ​​sapphires shining, and the spices from the sea, dazzled her.

She even felt a little less concerned about Xiao Heng.

Such a day is simply a fairy day.

I really can't find anything wrong.

She asked King Min if he could accept it.

King Min nodded, and when everything started, he would let it go.

He said, "Look at which families give the most gifts. Write it down. I have other plans at that time."

King Min is no longer satisfied with only sharing 30% of the profit.

As a vassal king, why don’t he use such a good way to make money?

He signaled to Mr. Qiu that he also had a boat to go out to sea.

Mr. Qiu seemed a little embarrassed at first.
Chapter completed!
