Chapter 686 Siam

"It's land transportation, right?"

[However, what is eaten here is generally not Siamese durian. Siamese durian is almost consumed in the southwestern provinces, and you can eat it all the way around. After all, the railway is a line, and goods can be loaded and unloaded at any time along the line, which is very efficient. So what is shipped here is usually Lanfang durian shipped from Lanfang by sea. 】

"What's the difference between the two?"

[Hmm, it’s hard to say. Because there are quite a lot of varieties, there are many varieties on sale on both sides. However, generally speaking, Siamese durians are very large because the local indigenous people in Siam are more modernized and various trading companies have stronger control over the production process. Lanfang is more like a trading company than production. Lanfang has developed a large number of durian categories. In addition to sweet ones, there are also milk-flavored and liqueur-flavored durians. Oh, by the way, today’s milk tea is made from durian, which has a richer aroma. 】

"I said...will they fight?"

[Well, if the imperial court was not on top, they would probably really fight. After all, this is a business worth more than 10 billion. However, the consumers are not in their homeland, they are all in the region, so the physical fight between them is meaningless - although it is certainly inevitable, I guess they poison each other's durian fields. But in the end, the problems between them still have to be dealt with within Kinei. 】

"Tsk, as expected, modern politics is no longer something I can interfere with. It turns out that a durian is such a troublesome thing. I wonder how my senior brother dealt with it."

Zhu Xianfen closed the memorial and took a sip of tea. He put the memorial into the first open suitcase on the left, and took the next memorial from the first suitcase on the right. From left to right, they represent the four categories of "I know", "I think it's OK", "I think it's not OK" and "I haven't watched it yet".

Zhu Xianfen generally did not put memorials in the "I think it's okay" box. His general instructions were just "read", or simply "got it". Because all memorials are sent after being drafted by the cabinet, and all the opinions of the cabinet have been written on them. Zhu Xianfen usually doesn't change it, he just knows it.

However, not all matters in the cabinet will be handled by themselves. There are some matters that are not convenient for them to handle.

"Ah, I have a bit of a headache." He touched his forehead, put the booklet back into the "I haven't read it yet" category, and put it aside for later. Anyway, not all the excerpts need to be read on the same day, you can also check them out.

"Next is the good guy, here comes another one."

Here, asking the Ministry of Rites to hand over the document also means "I understand" from the cabinet. The excerpt from the Ministry of Rites merely explained what happened in front of his door. It contained many short stories written by Wen Zhongwenge Lao, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, expressing his condemnation of the use of violent means and hoping that the emperor would reprimand the vassals and that all tributes would be paid. Don't go beyond the rules.

The next one is from Siam. It was also handed over by Lan Fang.

As for what happened in Boni Kingdom and what to do with the expressway, there is not a single word in this document - the Ministry of Rites does have reason to do so. Because overseas affairs are not under the control of the Six Ministries, there are neither subordinate agencies of the Ministry of Rites nor service specialists of the Ministry of Rites, and there is no need for the Ministry of Rites to express opinions on matters that it does not understand at all. Just after this back and forth, everything was once again concentrated in Zhu Xianfen's hands.

Zhu Xianyi directly picked up the phone and dialed Zheng Shijie:

"Sure enough, it's a matter of Boni Kingdom." The next memorial was placed in front of him, and Zhu Xianfen had already remembered his "tangled" mood that day. That day, Bo Niguo was beaten to a bloody head at the entrance of the Rites Department. This was a report sent by the Ministry of Rites - although, logically speaking, this kind of criminal case should not be submitted by the Ministry of Rites, and the report should not even be handed over. , this kind of matter should be handled in Yingtian Mansion or Shangyuan County. Even if the document is submitted, it is usually submitted by the Ministry of Punishment.

"Hey, Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Don't submit any more notes to the cabinet about this kind of thing. If you make a deal, I'll have to approve it. If Marquis Jingnan takes turns handing it over to you later - do you two want to jam the central nervous system to the point of cerebral obstruction?"

"Ah, but I think this matter is very important. Your Majesty, have you read it?" "Yes." The excerpt was very short, and it only said one thing:

Discuss whether Siam should belong to the "Kinei market". This is very important. Obviously, trade between provinces does not need to pay taxes to each other. For example, there cannot be a "tax customs" between Huguang and Guangxi. Materials and personnel on both sides circulate freely.

But Lanfang is not outside the customs. Lanfang is not a country in nature. Lanfang's full name is "Lanfang Administrative Services Co., Ltd.". The Nanyang trade represented by Lanfang is not considered a tribute.

"So, my Majesty the Holy Emperor, it is obvious that Siam is not at the customs customs, right?"

"As I said, they came in from Jingnanhou, who has the same trade concession as you - I asked you, why do you always like to challenge these existing rules? Jingnanhou is not a vegetarian. Yes, you are not the first to discover this rule. If you want to challenge the equilibrium now, you have to bear the price of breaking the equilibrium."

"Ah, His Majesty the Holy Emperor, you don't agree, right?"

"I didn't say I disagreed. I said this matter still needs to be discussed."

"Can you stamp it? Just say you want to discuss it."

"." Zhu Xianfen was silent for a while, "Is it a bit difficult for you there?"

"No, no, no, everything is normal here. Brother Ye, don't worry."

"Alas" Zhu Xianxen sighed, "This kind of thing is not non-negotiable. I also know that you have invested a lot of money in things outside the company. Next time, don't beat around the bush, just say it directly—— You should understand that this channel is the communication between the emperor and the princes, and my approval is all based on daily life. You can do whatever you want me to do with these things."

"Then I'll do it next time."

"If you really need it, I can go on a patrol in Nanyang."

"No, no, no! You don't have to come! You still need a training palace when you come. You really don't have that much spare money."

"Tsk, that's true. Things like palaces are the same as clothes. They can only be worn once, so don't waste the money. Okay, let me keep this discount for now. I will seriously consider it later. After all, Siam is always a special case. There is always something inappropriate here - but, you know, but. After I help you solve other things, you know what you have to do, right? "

"I understand. I will take care of the Lingbao matter as soon as possible. When Shangluo comes, I will ask him to bring it back to you. I will definitely do it."
