Chapter 1388

These people were the Zhao Huang's trusted aides, so they didn't avoid them.

The Zhao Huang stared at Zhao Yuheng and said, "Yuheng, what good news do you have? Just say it; there are no outsiders present."

Zhao Yuheng didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Father, the Living Yama sent a letter to this subject, stating in the letter that Minister Chen Qiong of the Court of Diplomatic Reception is his person."

"Under his promotion, Da Qian is about to implement the tribute silk system, which will inspect the color, workmanship, and material of Zhao Gao, dividing it into four levels—A, B, C, and D—and Grade A can enter the palace as tribute!"

"But it is not restricted to only entering the palace; it can also circulate among the people."

Once these words were spoken.

Everyone was in an uproar, a look of incredulity in their eyes.

Even the Zhao Huang was quite shocked.

He said with an expression that couldn't hide his excitement, "Yuheng, is this matter true or false?"

"If the tribute silk system is really promoted, then the price of our Zhao Gao will skyrocket!"

Zhao Yuheng wore a smile, his expression proud, "Father, this was said by the Living Yama himself, and he said that within the two days I received this letter, the news of the tribute silk system would arrive!"

"This is confirmed without a doubt!"

Hearing this, the Zhao Huang laughed loudly, "Good, good!"

"Yuheng, you did this beautifully. Once the tribute silk system is implemented, even if our Zhao Kingdom does nothing, we can make a huge profit from Da Qian!"

"The money earned from Da Qian's white sugar, soap, and strong liquor has all become a wedding dress for our Zhao Kingdom!"

"You did this too beautifully!"

The Zhao Huang stood up straight, his eyes full of appreciation.

The others also couldn't hide their excitement.

"This tribute silk system is too beneficial for our Zhao Kingdom!"

"Yes, once this move is implemented, our Zhao Gao will be even more in short supply; this is all white, shiny silver!"

But among the crowd, only the Zhao Kingdom's Prime Minister Zhao Pu looked solemn; he looked at the Zhao Huang and said.

"Your Majesty, stay calm!"

Hearing these words, the Zhao Huang frowned slightly, his majestic dragon eyes staring at Zhao Pu as he spoke.

"Prime Minister Zhao, why do you say this?"

"Is this not a heaven-sized piece of good news for our Zhao Kingdom?"

Zhao Pu looked solemn and said to the Zhao Huang, "Your Majesty, this subject feels there is a problem inside."

"The Empress of Da Qian is no mediocrity; she dared to withstand the pressure of the Yan, Chu, and Qi kingdoms, as well as the powerful opponent of the Xiongnu, and without fear of pressure within the court, she launched an expedition against the Xiongnu—this is enough to show her boldness!"

"Such an emperor, even if she is a woman, must never be underestimated."

"But in this way, the problem arises: the Empress of Da Qian encouraged the people of Da Qian to wear Zhao Gao from the very beginning, which directly contributed to the skyrocketing price of Zhao Gao in our country!"

"This subject heard that not long ago, the price of Zhao Gao in Changancheng of Da Qian had skyrocketed from three hundred wen per bolt to two taels of silver per bolt!"

"This price is not terrifying!"

"Even during this period, the price of Zhao Gao from the Handancheng area of our Zhao Kingdom has also skyrocketed, from one hundred wen per bolt to five hundred wen per bolt!"

"This is a full five-fold increase!"

"The profit in this is huge, and the one ultimately paying the bill is the people of Da Qian; this move logically makes no sense at all!"

"This subject fears that there is some heaven-sized trap hidden in this!"

As Zhao Pu spoke, his face was full of incomprehension; any matter in the world cannot escape the two words "profit."

Da Qian is giving money to the Zhao Kingdom for nothing—is the Empress of Da Qian crazy?

Is this Living Yama of Da Qian crazy?

This point is clearly unreasonable!

Once these words were spoken, the huge Imperial Study suddenly fell into silence.

The Zhao Huang also frowned tightly.

Zhao Pu's words also had some reason!

And this Living Yama doesn't look like a good person!
