"Why do I feel something is wrong? Do I have the illusion of being deceived?"

"So you have it too. I feel the same way, but I just don't know what's going on?"

"What else could happen? Just go home and think about it and you will find out!"

"Humph, that kid Jia Huan is really cunning, he actually got us all in!"

"..."

After leaving the party restaurant, a group of invited members of the clan gathered together to discuss the matter.

I don’t know which one started, but the expressions on the faces of the clan members present became quite subtle.

On the other side, Jia Huan was not in a hurry to leave. He had other things to discuss with Prince Zhongshun.

What you said before was so passionate, weren't you cooperating with Prince Zhongshun to persuade those members of the sub-clan?
They really need these guys to contribute money and efforts to develop overseas, otherwise they won't be able to develop quickly at all.

"You kid is really good at deceiving!"

Prince Zhongshun understood clearly and said with a chuckle: "With the development of several new seaport cities in Lu, wouldn't it be the imperial court and the current one who will benefit in the end?"

"As it should be!"

Jia Huan disagreed and said calmly: "Such a big thing requires mobilizing too many resources and manpower. It is impossible not to notice it today!"

"If you don't let Jinjin take advantage of you, do you think Jinjin might turn a blind eye?"

Prince Zhongshun pondered for a moment, and finally had to admit that Jia Huan was right!
"I guess there are too many of you, brothers under the Emperor's knees, now!"

Jia Huan didn't mean to shut up, and chuckled: "If you can find another way out, you will definitely acquiesce now, and only fools will be thankless to stop you!"

"Don't forget, the emperor is still alive!"

"Most of the power in the capital camp is still firmly in the hands of the emperor!"

"Of course, this is your best chance!"

"The situation will be different when most of the current princes are adults and have gained a certain level of strength!"

Prince Zhongshun remained silent, his face became a little ugly, but he did not make any excuses.

"I feel a little unhappy in my heart!"

After a moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If your kid's plan succeeds, how much help will it be to today? It will really be an advantage for him!"

"Who calls me the emperor?"

Jia Huan sneered: "That's the truth. There's no need to worry too much about these. As long as we can achieve the goal of overseas development, it's better not to worry too much about the rest!"

If the coastal areas of Shandong Province, such as Dengzhou and Jiaoao Deng areas, are developed, the economic boost to Shandong Province and the help to the entire Daqian will be amazing.

The development and construction of urban ports alone requires hundreds of thousands of young and strong laborers!
Because it is a private development and construction, it is impossible to use the court to recruit labor, but it will all be done privately with free money and food.

The role of major projects like this in boosting the private economy cannot be overestimated.

It is estimated that by then, the rich labor force in Ludi alone will not be enough to fill such a huge demand.

It may even unilaterally increase the labor costs of landless tenants and landless farmers.

No matter how many refugees there are, they are not enough to meet the labor needs of these seaside towns!
Once several emerging seaport towns have reached a certain scale and order, and can serve as transfer points for supplies from the north to the south, they can develop rapidly just by relying on Jia Huan, Prince Zhongshun, and members of the royal family.

Not to mention, those merchants with a keen sense of smell will be able to form several new business centers by then.

Just the number of young adults and their families that can be accommodated is measured in units of 100,000!
If the canal points connected to Ludi can be formed, new commercial transportation channels can be formed, and how many people can be accommodated to survive?
It can be said that if we follow Jia Huan's blueprint and build several new seaport cities in a short period of time, we can easily absorb millions of people.

The radiated population is at least over 10 million, and the upstream and downstream industrial chains are countless!
Let's put it this way, once those few seaport cities are developed and constructed, Daqian's overall national strength will rise to a big level, and it will also reduce or prolong the outbreak of many conflicts.

For example, water transportation will definitely not be abandoned, but it is impossible to become the lifeline of the Daqian Dynasty as it was in the past.

The imperial court would not be so cautious when dealing with the many joints of water transportation.

In vain, massive profits were handed over to the rentiers who relied on the blood-sucking Grand Canal.

It can be said that the plan proposed by Jia Huan is definitely a good thing that will benefit the country and the people!
The key is to leave the court alone and work alone, which saves too many inexplicable losses.

With such great benefits, even if I notice the brothers' little tricks now, I can only turn a blind eye. If he refuses to give up, he will not give his brothers a way to survive.

And with the support of several seaport cities in Ludi, Jia Huan and Prince Zhongshun can better explore the outer sea, which can really be said to be a win-win situation.

In fact, the principles and logic here are very simple. It just depends on whether Prince Zhongshun and the clan members can turn the corner?

After all, if you do something like this, you won't get any benefits, but you will benefit from it first.

"You are right, who calls someone the emperor?"

Prince Zhongshun smiled bitterly, changed the subject and asked, "What else can you do if you stay here?"

"Does the prince know that he is currently trying to encourage the prince of Nan'an County to make troubles in the southwest?"

Jia Huan didn't waste any time and asked directly: "This matter, it is likely to have a major impact on the Xungui Group. One bad move may even cause the Xungui Group to collapse!"

"Is there such a thing? I have never heard of it!" Prince Zhongshun was surprised and frowned: "There is no news about it, how do you know about it?"

Jia Huan briefly stated what he knew and some public information within the Xungui Group.

Finally, he said: "Various signs indicate that Prince Nan'an is already ready to make a move!"

"Is he crazy?"

Prince Zhongshun was surprised and said: "You are so good as the king of Southwest, why would you take such a risk?"

"I am not sure as well!"

Jia Huan said unhappily: "If it weren't for the fact that the southwest border is too far away from the capital, I would really like to go over and ask, what exactly is going on in the head of Nan'an County Prince?"

"It just so happens that this person is the mainstay of the Xungui Group!"

Jia Huan said unhappily: "Once he has an accident, the entire Xungui Group will be greatly affected!"

"At that time, Xungui Group lost the capital to barely compete with today, and could only let it be slaughtered!"

At this point, Jia Huan glanced at Prince Zhongshun and said unceremoniously: "At that time, in order to protect themselves, Ning Rong and the Second Mansion could only quickly withdraw their power, fearing that the cooperation with the prince would be terminated!"

"How?"

Prince Zhongshun's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Jia Jieyuan, are you too worried?"

"You know, Nan'an County Prince has a hundred thousand troops under his command, and there are hundreds of thousands of local officers and soldiers in various prefectures and counties in the southwest. That is no joke!"

"Even if Prince Nan'an wants to take action against his neighboring country, it's unlikely that he will be able to tell the winner for a while!"

"Perhaps, he will be fooled directly if he promises any benefits to you now!"

"When the time comes, once we notice something is wrong, we can respond quickly, and it's not too late!"

Jia Huan smiled and said nothing, knowing that Prince Zhongshun could not completely trust his words.

"It hasn't happened yet, so we don't need to worry about it!"

Jia Huan took the lead in changing the topic and said in a deep voice: "But if something really happens, the prince can join forces with other members of the clan to help negotiate the matter, so that the Xungui Group will not lose too miserably."

"This way, there's no problem!"

Prince Zhongshun also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Jia Huan's guess was really too bold and too crazy.

Even if he wanted to break his head, he would not think that such a thing would happen!
Jia Huan did not continue to talk about this. Anyway, no one would believe it before it happened.

Sometimes, once certain seemingly shrewd beings turn out to be wasteful and stupid, it is quite shocking and absolutely ruins the worldview.

Next, Jia Huan and Prince Zhongshun directly discussed the development plan for next year.

He took out a simple nautical chart from his arms and pointed at it with Prince Zhongshun and some of his close aides until evening.

But just like that, Jia Huan only said a third of the draft and plan he had in mind.

In the next two days, Jia Huan kept hanging out with Prince Zhongshun, constantly describing his plans, and at the same time pointed out the important links where Prince Zhongshun's government needed to help.

After thorough discussions with Prince Zhongshun, it was already the middle of the twelfth lunar month.

The whole capital is a festive and lively scene, and the biting cold wind and falling snowflakes from time to time cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people in the capital to celebrate the New Year.

By this time, Jia Huan was busier than usual.

The year-end summary here at the entrance of Ningrong Street, and the year-end summary for the farm outside the city.

Especially regarding various situations in the farms outside the city, he had to go to Ning Mansion and Rong Mansion in person to explain clearly to Qin Keqing and his second wife, Mrs. Wang.

Especially the second wife, Mrs. Wang, has no business ability, and her attributes are all focused on house fighting. She also likes money very much, so she is quite difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, Jia Huan had anticipated this. When he signed the lease agreement with Wang Xifeng, he directly used the money as the lease fee, without giving the government any chance to take advantage of the situation.

No, he directly took out 70,000 taels of silver notes and handed them over to the accountant in charge of the public accounts in front of Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's nephew.

"You are such a trustworthy boy!"

Wang Xifeng said happily: "Eighty thousand taels of silver every year, never less than a penny!"

"This year there are only 70,000 taels!"

Jia Huan said directly: "Rong Mansion has eight large farms outside the city. One of them has been handed over to Zhou Rui, so I don't care about the rental fee of that farm!"

The smile on Wang Xifeng's face froze, and she looked directly at Mrs. Wang, who was pretending to be a Bodhisattva, without saying a word.

"Your share will not be less than one cent!"

Mrs. Wang said displeased: "Zhou Rui will hand over the rental money in the next few days, don't worry!"

"Can you share the big room now? I really can't wait!"
