Yuwen Huaji sat in the main hall, still in shock.
It was too scary!
Yang Guang took the towel from the palace maid and carefully wiped his hands.
He looked at Yuwen Huaji with disdain." Look at you. I didn't say I wanted to kill you."”
Yuwen Huaji smiled bitterly and asked tentatively,""Your Majesty, do you really want to do business with the Turks?”
"Nonsense, why else would I ask you to come?”
"But before you…" Yuwen Huaji hesitated.
"The past is the past, and the present is the present!”
"What I want you to do is still the same as before, but you can't make it public, and you can't use my name."”
"Ah?"
Yuwen Huaji was stunned. What did His Majesty mean?
Did he have to do business with the Turks?
Soon, he understood.
Yang Guang wanted to get some private money!
The money earned would not go to the national treasury, but directly into his private treasury.
As expected, Yang Guang was still the same.
Yuwen Huaji knew what to do." Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know what to do.”
"You don't know."
Yang Guang stared at him." This isn't a small matter. Not only will we be dealing with the Turks, but we will also be dealing with the Khitans, Tuyuhun, Koryo, Xi, Tiele Khaganate, and even the 36 kingdoms of the Western Regions. As long as we can make money, we will have to deal with them.”
Yuwen Huaji was dumbfounded. Or salt and iron business?"
"Armament business," Yang Guang said word by word.”
"Plop!"
Yuwen Huaji sat on the ground and laughed dryly.""Your Majesty, please don't joke around.”
After waiting for a while.
Yuwen Huaji looked up at Yang Guang's expression.
"Your Majesty, are you serious?" he asked hesitantly.”
Yang Guang nodded." From tomorrow onwards, I will appoint you as the Minister of War. All the standard weapons in the military warehouses of the prefectures and counties in the world will be under your jurisdiction."”
Yuwen Huaji smiled bitterly." Your Majesty, selling armaments is a capital offense, especially to outsiders. Your entire family will be executed!"”
"If you don't want to go, zhen can change to someone else.”
"No, I'm willing to go."
Yuwen Huaji was so frightened that he quivered. Being caught selling armaments was a capital crime.
However, if he didn't agree, his entire family would probably be executed.
He could still tell which was more important.
Yang Guang nodded." At least you're sensible. When the time comes, you'll be notified of which warehouse to sell and how much to sell. Your mission is to sell at a high price. You can't let those barbarians off easily.”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
"Go back and wait for the news, Assistant Minister Yuwen.”
Yuwen Huaji left the palace. When the cold wind blew, he realized that he was drenched in cold sweat.
"Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger!"
Yuwen Huaji shook his head. He was getting more and more confused about this man.
Then he would go back and wait for His Majesty's news.
First, he had to find a way to pick up the smuggling lines that he had stopped earlier.
He was an expert in this kind of speculation, buying low and selling high.
He also pulled Second Brother in. Yuwen Zhiji seemed to be in contact with a few merchants in Tuhun Valley.
Great Sui's armaments were in high demand in the surrounding countries, so they didn't have to worry about selling.
The key was that the price could not be low.
"The assistant minister of the Ministry of War has real power!"
Yuwen Huaji became excited again, even though he knew that the Emperor gave him the position of Minister of War for convenience.
But that was still a third-grade official!
If this matter was handled well for His Majesty, he might even be promoted.
Yuwen Huaji was so excited that he forgot his fear and sped home.
He had to discuss it with Yuwen Zhiji.
After Yuwen Huaji left.
Yang Guang narrowed his eyes slightly.
He said to Xiao Meiniang, who walked out from behind the screen,"The Empress was right. Yuwen Huaji is still secretly in contact with those Turks.”
"Your Majesty, do you have to use Yuwen Huaji to sell it to those outsiders in such a shady way?" Xiao Meiniang asked.”
"Can't our Imperial Court sell it directly?”
Yang Guang reached out and pulled Xiao Meiniang over." There's a saying among the people. A wife is not as good as a concubine. A concubine is better than stealing. Stealing is better than not stealing."”
"It's the same for these outsiders. If our Great Sui Imperial Court sells to them, they will first suspect that this is a conspiracy of the Imperial Court. Moreover, they would try their best to lower the price, or even join forces with other races to lower the price.
However, if Yuwen Huaji risked being beheaded and secretly traded with them, they would think that they had profited. It was an opportunity that could not be missed! They are even willing to buy it at a high price!"
Xiao Meiniang suddenly understood." I see. Your Majesty's metaphor is very vivid. Can you explain it to me again?"”
The smile on Yang Guang's face froze." What's there to explain? I don't understand!"”
Xiao Meiniang's delicate body twisted and she rolled her eyes at Yang Guang."I think Your Majesty knows a lot. You've thoroughly studied the psychology of people.”
Yang Guang shook his head." The most difficult thing to figure out in this world is the human heart. I am busy every day. How can I have the time to figure out this?"”
" Also, how do we plan to make arrangements for these armaments…"
"Speaking of daily affairs…"
"How could I have forgotten about these three guys?" Yang Guang suddenly realized.”
"Send Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng into the palace.”
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng had been transferred to the capital for a while.
He had been waiting for orders from the Ministry of Personnel Affairs for the past few days.
Yang Guang had forgotten about them.
Now that he remembered, why would he not use these three internal affairs big shots?
It was just nice to let them be his think tank.
He was in charge of checking and filling in the gaps and handling many matters.
With Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng's abilities, it was simply too easy for them to handle such a matter.
He wants people to do their best.
Only then would he be a qualified emperor.
