After Han Yi sat down, Yuan Xi asked, "Han Yi, have you mentioned this to Your Majesty?"

Han Yi shook his head and said, "I still said that the court would not mind someone helping the court share military pay. Besides, if the court sends troops, it is not for that little thing, but to eliminate potential threats. For my Tang Dynasty, it is just a barren land and is not worth mentioning. This should not be a problem."

Yuan Xi frowned slightly and said, "Since nothing has been decided, why are you eager to discuss with us?"

Han Yi said: "Uncle, there is no grain storage in Guanzhong. You still need to transport grain from other places to pass into the pass. The Yuan family is the same. The Yuan family's grain is also in the south of the Yangtze River. I will discuss with you first, so it is not enough time to get it. After all, it is still relatively far away to transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the Liaodong region."

Yuan Xi said: "Why don't you know how much food you need?"

Han Yi said: "This is an equivalent exchange. The more you give, the more you get."

Yuan He suddenly said, "Why don't we get?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Slaves, wood, and coal."

"coal?"

Yuan Xi and others were all shocked.

Han Yi nodded and said, "According to what I have found, there is a lot of coal there, which is absolutely true. With the rise of commerce, coal will become very important. Papermaking, perfume, wine, and fire are all required. A large coal mine is enough to compensate for everything the Yuan family has paid for it."

Yuanzhe's eyes flashed a few times, and he couldn't help but say excitedly: "If the court can give us coal mines, then this transaction will definitely not be a loss."

There was really not much coal in the Tang Dynasty, but with the development of industry and commerce, the demand for coal was getting higher and higher, and grain could be regenerated, but coal could not be planted.

Yuan Le said: "But the imperial court may not necessarily give us coal mines."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Uncle II, what do you want this coal mine?"

Yuan Le was stunned for a moment, then said, "Of course it's burning fire!"

Han Yi said: "Where are you burning the fire?"

"I--!"

Yuan Le suddenly was stunned, as if he understood something.

Han Yi said: "We merchants go to get coal, but they still have to transport it back to the Central Plains to meet the needs of the Central Plains. This means that the coal is still used in the Central Plains. For the court, it is enough for the court. The court does not do business, so why do you need so much coal? Then the court will transport the coal back to the country, but it will still meet the needs of the Central Plains. Why not leave it to the merchants to do it?"

Yuan Xi nodded slightly and asked again: "What about slaves? My Tang Dynasty destroyed countless countries, but usually treats some prisoners as slaves, and mainly treats them with ease. However, those little slaves and those generals are not enough to divide them, so how could it be our turn?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "I wonder what uncle thinks is the most profitable deal in the world?"

Yuan Xi wondered, "What is it?"

Yuanzhe suddenly said: "Give it!"

"correct!"

Han Yi said: "Just just grab it, I always think that the most profitable thing is the group of Shanyu from the Xiongnu that year. When they walked south for a few days, the Han Dynasty had to send a lot of money. This is a business without a lot. If this kind of business is legal, anyone would do this business. From this, it can be seen that if I don't do it in the Tang Dynasty, it doesn't mean I don't want to do it. It's just because the imperial court took over before, then my vast dynasty must take into account my face. But if it is handed over to the merchants, the reputation of the merchants is not very good anyway. The court only needs to turn a blind eye and close one. Moreover, the partner can be Goguryeo, and my 100,000 children from Guanzhong were buried here, and they don't even want to return the bones. This is a bloody hatred!"

Yuan Xi and others all showed contemplative expressions.

This temptation is too great. Coal and slaves are the most lacking in industry and commerce today. Because of the emergence of the Labor Act, labor costs have increased a lot. This is fine. The key is that many jobs cannot be done by employees. It is really hard, but if there are slaves, the cost will be much lower. As long as you give equivalent slaves, even if you exchange all the food in the Yuan family for now, it will not be a loss.

After a long time of life, Yuan Xi said, "What do you think?"

Yuanzhe first glanced at Yuanle and the others, and saw that they did not speak, he said: "Grandpa and grandson believe that no matter whether they decide to do this business in the end, they must be prepared for it. We can first move the grain to the Liaodong region. Even if we decide not to do this business in the end, we will not lose much money. Moreover, our Yuan family has stored a lot of grain in Jiangnan. Even if we don't sell it to the court, we have to find a way to sell it to others."

Yuanle and others also nodded.

Han Yi also said: "In addition, there are other combat preparation materials. We transported all the excess materials to the Liaodong area in exchange for the materials we need."

Yuan Xi pondered for a while, "Let's leave this matter to you and Yuan Zhe to handle."

Since we decided to prepare for this, the meeting ended here. What should we do specifically? Han Yi and Won-chul have the final say.

After leaving the meeting hall, Han Yi said to Yuanzhe: "Yuanzhe, this matter is entirely based on my prediction at present, but it must not be spread, otherwise it will cause a lot of storm."

"Don't worry, uncle, I understand this." Yuanzhe kept nodding. This was the combination of official and business. His eyes were shining with light and his expression was excited. "I'm not hiding it to my uncle, before that, I never thought that it was impossible to do this in the business. This is really exciting!"

Compared to Yuan Mudan, Yuan Zhe is more like a businessman. He is a loyal supporter of Han Yi's plan. Whether it is the Nanjin Plan or the Liaodong Plan now, he is full of passion. In his belief, businessmen should be profit-oriented and should make money. Continuously making money, making money is also a pleasure for him, and he is very excited about it.

Han Yi said again: "Have Yuanjie written to you?"

Yuanzhe was stunned and said, "No, it's not easy to come here to send a letter."

Han Yi said: "In this way, if you ask someone to write a letter, if there is excess food there, you will send it all to Liaodong. Remember, it is excess food."

Yuanzhe nodded and said, "I understand."

Han Yi suddenly remembered something, "Have the Yuanbaozhu returned recently?"

Yuanzhe said: "When I came back, I happened to see my uncle bringing Ying'er and the others to the sports meeting."

Yes! Why did I forget this? Since he has come, he will always see it. Han Yi nodded and said, "You go to the hall to wait for me, I'll go back to the house first."

Yuanzhe looked at Han Yi for no reason.

Han Yi tskated and said, "Uncle is an elder, but I am your aunt's husband. I have to report on this matter, otherwise I have to go to the guest room to sleep again."

Yuan Zhe was stunned for a while, then quickly pursed his lips and kept nodding. If he opened his mouth, he would definitely laugh out loud.

When Han Yi returned to the house, Yuan Mudan was gently shaking the cradle and coaxing Han Rui to fall asleep. When she saw him coming, she made a gesture to stop him.

Han Yi walked forward lightly and looked into the cradle. He saw Han Rui half-squint her eyes and her eyelids kept falling down, which was very cute.

After a while, Han Rui finally fell asleep. Yuan Mudan asked the wet nurse to watch, and then went to the yard with Han Yi.

"What are you talking about?"

"Um."

Han Yi nodded and said, "If you want to take this step, you will talk about it when you get it. However, my uncle and others decided to prepare for this and transport the stored grain from Jiangnan to the Liaodong region."

Yuan Mudan sighed softly and said, "I have expected this. Those transactions in the past can no longer satisfy my uncle and others' appetites." As she said that, she glanced at Han Yi, which obviously was Han Yi who raised their appetites.

Han Yi sat down, held her hand, and smiled and said, "This is human nature. I believe that if you let you do the business before, you will not be interested."

Yuan Mudan thought for a moment, and felt a little embarrassed. She suddenly put one hand on the back of Han Yi's hand and said, "Han Yi, what do you think this person is living in the world?"

Han Yi pondered for a moment and said, "This person has his own ambitions."

"What about you?"

"My words, I hope to be free and live happily with my family." Han Yi said seriously.

Yuan Mudan rolled her eyes when she heard this and said, "This may be the worst lie you have ever told."

Because from Han Yi's behavior, this is completely the opposite.

Han Yi smiled and said, "This is actually the truest thing I have ever said." Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "I remember when I was in Yangzhou, I helped Mr. Yang eliminate the traitors and made a lot of contributions. Mr. Yang wanted me to go to the Yangzhou Prefecture Office to help him, but I refused because I didn't like being restrained. At that time, I just wanted to hide in Meicun with Wuyi and live leisurely. But--!"

He shook his head with a wry smile, "But this tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Just because I said a wrong sentence, I was almost sent to the border. Otherwise, Mr. Yang would not be able to come to Chang'an at all. But even when he came to Chang'an later, I was still confused. However, everything I encountered in Chang'an made me know that it is impossible for me to live leisurely and leisurely. What is leisure and freedom? At least go to the restaurant for a meal, you can sit in the seat you want to sit in, and communicate with strangers next to you without any scruples, instead of being cautious at all times to avoid stepping on the shadow of the nobles. You have to stick to the wall when walking on the road, and leave a wide street for the nobles."

Yuan Mudan listened quietly, and a trace of emotion appeared on her face.

Han Yi said again: "And then I bought Fengfei Tower and became an official. My life was more leisurely than when I was in Yangzhou. I could sit here easily, hold your hand, and accompany you. I could also go to the sports meet to see the children who are struggling. I could even go to the Qinling Mountains to soar in the air. No one would stop me, and no one dared to stop me. I could say what I wanted to say and do what I wanted to do. Everything I did was for my original dream - do you still think that what I said just now was a lie?"

Yuan Mudan smiled and said, "You always have your reasons." But after saying that, she stared at Han Yi, "Han Yi, I am your wife, I should have supported you, and I also want to support you, but at the same time I am the daughter of the Yuan family. It is because of me that you became the head of the Yuan family. As for myself, I am not afraid of anything. No matter what happens, I will stand with you. I have no regrets, but - but I am also afraid that I will implicate the Yuan family because of you. This is what I least want to see. How difficult it is for our Yuan family to be able to reach today, I--!"

Speaking of this emotional point, she was already in tears.

Han Yi gently pulled her and let her snuggle in her arms, saying, "Don't worry, I won't lose."

Yuan Mudan said: "The officialdom is sinister, who can guarantee this?"

Han Yi said: "Not necessarily, do you know why you are worried about the Southward Entry Plan and the Liaodong Plan?"

Yuan Mudan frowned slightly and began to think.

Han Yi said again: "It's because you don't know what the result will be if you continue to develop like this, right?"

Yuan Mudan nodded softly.

Han Yi said: "You are not the only one, because I am the only one who knows the result. As long as I continue to play in my plan, I will be invincible. Otherwise, I will definitely lose."
