Blessed little peasant girl

Chapter 149
Sure enough, Jin Meiyu met the queen the next day.

The queen didn't put her in danger, and when she saw her, she looked quite happy.

The queen first greeted Jin Meiyu's body, and then the situation of basic necessities of life, such as whether the waiters were meticulous or not.

That way, he really looks like a good elder.

During the queen's questioning, Jin Meiyu slowly relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face. The queen looked at it, and felt more and more proud.

After the round of greetings was over, Jin Meiyu delivered the gift. The queen opened the box and saw that there were seven pills in the palm-sized box.

The quantity of this pill is not as good as the emperor's, but the queen is still very satisfied.

After all, the future is long, and Jin Meiyu doesn't look very smart.

Both Jin Meiyu and the queen were very satisfied with the meeting this time. Before leaving, the queen also rewarded Jin Meiyu with three horses of good material that were brought in as a tribute this year.

In the days after Jin Meiyu, she seemed to have calmed down again. She didn't go out anymore, she just stayed in the palace, and usually looked at the account books, and from time to time, she went to visit the queen and the emperor to say hello, and she performed a filial and respectful gesture. .

Maybe only Jin Meiyu knows how many nights she has been unable to fall asleep with her eyes open.

Not long after Jin Meiyu's "An Sheng" life, the emperor announced her to the place where the emperor and ministers discussed matters.

When Jin Meiyu came, all the important officials in the court were there, and everyone looked at her. She also showed her obedience on such an occasion.

She lowered her forehead slightly, entered slowly, and then bowed respectfully to the emperor who was sitting taller.

The emperor was amiable, and raised his hand to signal her to excuse her, but Jin Meiyu, who lowered her head, didn't see the emperor's movements, and just finished the ritual in a daze.

After Jin Meiyu finished her salute, the emperor spoke in a helpless manner.

"Taiping is too much courtesy. Come to Taiping, it will never be like this in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jin Meiyu got up, and didn't look up after she got up, she stood there quietly, as if she was waiting for the emperor's next order.

Her gentle posture eased the stagnant atmosphere a lot.

All the ministers look at me and I look at you, their expressions are more or less relaxed.

Thinking about it, Jin Meiyu is only young this year. I heard that she didn't even invite a husband. At most, she can read and understand the account book. How big is the wave?
An existence like the old Fengjun of the Guang'an Palace, who has been born for thousands of years, is already a very remarkable existence. Looking at it like this, Jin Meiyu is a lack of confidence, so there is nothing to worry about!
Because of this impression, these ministers looked at Jin Meiyu less aggressively.

It's just that the emperor sat on the upper hand, looking at Jin Meiyu with the same eyes, seemingly benevolent, but in fact he was secretly appreciative.

"Taiping, how is your overseas trade doing recently?"

Jin Meiyu saluted and returned respectfully.

"The number of overseas merchant ships has decreased, and the grain traded has decreased by nine out of ten. However, the production of grain and fruit is gratifying, and soon, grain and fruit should be harvested again. Because the number of merchant ships has decreased, the amount of goods traded with them has also decreased. It’s much less, and the income has increased recently, and the gold and silver that can be provided to the court this month is estimated to be about 100 million taels.”

Unexpectedly, Jin Meiyu would talk about this, the emperor paused, and then asked Jin Meiyu.

"Taiping has paid a lot for the imperial court. These are all your furniture in Taiping, and they are used for the imperial court..."

The emperor made an ashamed look, but Jin Meiyu did not show a complacent look, but also frowned, looking a little ashamed.

"Returning to the emperor, Taiping was just a grassroots person before. He grew up in a poor village. He was able to grow up because of the emperor's great grace and the peace of the world. It's just that there are unforeseen circumstances, natural disasters have been happening for many years, and the people have suffered. Taiping has no ability, but he knows it, the emperor He is Mingjun. There are famous ministers in the court. Taiping's ability is not good, but he has a backbone that can support the sky. The things that Taiping took out are just some furniture. To be honest, these things are not for Taiping. It's nothing, after all, as long as Dayu is still Dayu, Taiping will still have endless money in the future. Moreover, Taiping lives in the palace now, food and clothing are the best, and the queen is involved in daily life, Life is very good, this is already a grace that Taiping never enjoyed in his early years."

Jin Meiyu said this with sincerity, and her expression was also very good. She looked ashamed and sincere after making the decision, so that the emperor didn't know what to say.

However, I have to say that both the emperor and the ministers were quite satisfied with this flattery.

After hearing this, the emperor sighed, then smiled, and said to Jin Meiyu.

"Don't belittle yourself in Taiping. The imperial court can survive such a natural disaster safely, and you have made great contributions to it."

Jin Meiyu shook her head again and again, expressing that she didn't dare to do it.

It has to be said that the emperor and courtiers like Jin Meiyu's attitude.

Jin Meiyu is needed now, so even if Jin Meiyu is strong, both the courtiers and the emperor will definitely tolerate it, but their perception of it must not be as good as it is now.

Of course, the current perception is not much better.

Jin Meiyu at this moment, in the eyes of these people, is the tool person that can be used.

So what if the money and food are all provided by her?Just a stupid woman who doesn't know how to manage.

Because of this thought, these 'smart' people in the court spoke to Jin Meiyu in a much more gentle tone.

"Your Highness, the common people are still short of food and clothing. Overseas food is still very important to our Great Yu Dynasty. I wonder if Your Highness has any good strategies?"

The person who spoke was an old man with a white beard, and Jin Meiyu didn't ask who the other person was, she still answered obediently.

"Well... since there are fewer maritime merchants, why don't we organize a fleet and go outside to have a look?"

Jin Meiyu's proposal was considered to be on the hearts of these people, and it was the same as what they had discussed before.

But how to do this needs to be discussed separately.

After all, it's not like they didn't want to sail to see outside.

Before sailing abroad, the profit and loss were not directly proportional, and the loss was greater, which made people dispel the idea of ​​going outside to see.

But because of this natural disaster, a large number of sea merchants came to do business with Jin Meiyu, bringing untold food and benefits to Dayu. It is impossible to say that no one is moved!

During the period of the natural disaster, many family forces established ports elsewhere and went to sea for trade. Among them, the royal family also participated.

But the result was not ideal, the final profit and loss were still not directly proportional, and the success rate of Jin Meiyu was not at all achieved!

These people watched Jin Meiyu make deals with overseas businessmen, and they did well.

If it wasn't for Jin Meiyu and those merchants who only traded in grain, and the grain was donated to the imperial court, maybe there would be those jealous people who would attack Jin Meiyu.

After all, on Jin Meiyu's side, there are too many sea merchants who have successfully arrived!
Now, the number of sea merchants coming is decreasing sharply, and these people present are almost aware of the reason.

Knowing that Jin Meiyu is a lucky person, the kind of person with excess blessings, these popularity can't be overwhelmed, so they can only find a way from Jin Meiyu.

What can they do?

It's very simple, let Jin Meiyu organize a fleet to go to sea!

Of course, in order to maintain the greatest interests in this, they will also participate in it!
Jin Meiyu is still very upright, no, the ministers just opened their mouths, and she followed along, and things will be easy after that!

Everyone thought so, so when the emperor proposed to organize sea ships to go to sea, everyone thought that Jin Meiyu would take over the task.

But what people didn't expect was that Jin Meiyu only said.

"Since Dayu has needs, after Taiping returns, he will make arrangements to stop the fishing boats and change them to merchant ships, so as to bring back more food products for Dayu!"

Jin Meiyu's words mean that if you want to change your power, do it yourself!
This is not what these people want to see!
Of course, they were not in a hurry, after all, if Jin Meiyu could have such an idea, everyone should say that they have high awareness!

So the ministers are still amiable.

"What should I do? The princess has already paid a lot for Dayu, so I can't let the princess spend any more. Since this is a merchant ship built for Dayu, the princess only needs to bear a name, and the princess doesn't need to worry about the rest. We old bones There are still some uses."

This means, using Jin Meiyu's name and using Jin Meiyu's good fortune, she doesn't intend to give her any benefits!
As if she didn't understand the other party's use, Jin Meiyu frowned slightly and asked back.

"My lord, what do you mean the caravan doesn't need me to do?"

"The princess still needs to have a name. In the future, the common people will think of the princess when they get benefits."

Jin Meiyu nodded, thought for a while, and then glanced at the minister with a look of hesitation.

Seeing Jin Meiyu's appearance, the emperor asked.

"Does Taiping have anything to say?"

Everyone looked at Jin Meiyu. Although they were smiling, the picture always had the feeling of being surrounded by wolves.

Jin Meiyu pursed her lips, as if she was a little embarrassed, but finally said it.

"What kind of goods does the court want to use to trade with foreigners?"

this……

Everyone was thinking about how to share the benefits, openly and secretly, and after the benefits were distributed, they brought Jin Meiyu over.

Now that Jin Meiyu said this, they were a little hesitant.

Generally speaking, Dayu's products are not worrying about selling, no matter what, they sell well outside, such as tea silk, porcelain and jade, these can be sold at a high price outside.

But now that Jin Meiyu asked, they thought about it and felt that they hadn't thought well.

Now the common people are waiting for a lot of waste, not to mention tea and silk, even the number of porcelain and jade is reduced.

The common people need a period of recovery. During this period, the quantity of commodities such as tea and silk will not be too much.

What about porcelain and jade?
These can be exported, but these things are too fragile and prone to damage at sea. Everyone present, including the emperor, has organized people to go to sea for trade. They have some understanding of this situation and want to sell porcelain and jade. However, if the protection is concealed, it will take up space. The ship is so big, and the number of goods it can carry is limited. Not as violent as they thought.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the products in Jin Meiyu's shop are the most suitable for this period.

The former sea merchants liked those commodities very much, and now they are bringing a large amount of goods to sea, and they are bound to be greatly welcomed.

Anyone who has done business knows that the most difficult time to sell a brand new thing is at the very beginning. No one knows what it is and how effective it is, and most people will take a wait-and-see attitude.

But Jin Meiyu's products are different. Although they have been around for a short time, overseas merchants have brought back a lot of them, and the market has opened up.
And Jin Meiyu's products are also different from silk tea.

Because she buys for a long time, the purchase price is stable, and she even sells some grain to those who sell her raw materials.

Therefore, the suppliers who provide Jin Meiyu with raw materials are actually very stable.

Even if there was such a period of time, the price went up so much that Jin Meiyu gritted her teeth and ate it, which didn't break the supply chain.

Therefore, don't look at the fact that there is a lot of waste among the people now, and there is a lack of everything.

But the raw materials that Jin Meiyu needs have always been there, and there has never been a lack of them!
Whether it is a minister or an emperor, everyone understands these things.

After all, they were the ones who reached out to Jin Meiyu's properties after Jin Meiyu suffered a shipwreck!
If you want to take over these industries, how can you not understand them!
It is precisely because of their understanding that these people immediately thought of the ones in Jinmeiyu's store after excluding those conventional products.

Jin Meiyu looked around, and finally revealed a series of prices silently.

What kind of commodity corresponds to what kind of price.

What Jin Meiyu quoted was the market price. These ministers didn't need others to say anything, they just thought about it and knew how much gold and silver it would cost to fill the ship with goods!
That price is so high that these ministers are speechless!

With such a high price, even if the people present are all rich, they would hesitate in the face of such a high price.

Some ministers were not happy, so they stood up and said something without thinking.

"Going overseas to conduct trade is a good thing for the country and the people. The princess has a kind heart and will definitely not care about it."

The minister felt that the price was too high, and wanted to lower the price, or ask Jin Meiyu to provide the goods for free!

But as soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Some things, it's okay to think about it in your heart, but it's a little bit shameless to say it out!

Jin Meiyu raised her head little by little, then looked at the speaker with an incredible look, then lowered her head without saying anything.

She didn't say anything, but she said everything.
