He looked at the ministers.
Gao Lingfeng gritted his teeth.
Especially Lin Jiancheng, Gao Lingfeng's heart was filled with hatred!
What's wrong with this guy!
Are you still a traitor?
Didn't they say that his father-in-law only knew how to bootlick? How did he become so capable of being the chief assistant?
The more Gao Lingfeng thought about it, the more upset he felt.
What exactly went wrong?
Fortunately, Gao Lingfeng was a person who was good at self-reflection.
He quickly realized that his failure last time was because his instructions were too vague.
Because the instructions were too vague, Lin Jiancheng and the others were able to unleash their full potential!
Therefore, in this Imperial Conference, the instructions must be clear and definite!
I can't let them misunderstand!
Therefore, Gao Lingfeng immediately called for this Imperial Conference.
Gao Lingfeng coughed and said,
"This Imperial Conference is to discuss how to deal with the Northern Barbarian merchants.”
Unexpectedly, the first person to step forward was the new Minister of Rites.
"Your Majesty! Lord Chief, the two countries are at war, and yet the emissaries are not killed. These Northern Barbarian merchants are not soldiers, so how can they be treated as captives?”
Gao Lingfeng glanced at the new Minister of Rites. His name was Jia Daode.
This name is good!
As expected of a fake Mr. Moral!
His speech is very in line with my thoughts!
As expected, Minister Jia's words attracted a unanimous attack from the other ministers!
They said he was fishing for fame.
Some said that he was soft-hearted.
The Minister of War even said that he had connections with foreign countries.
Minister Jia was soon unable to hold on.
They were teammates!
Gao Lingfeng coughed to ease Minister Jia's embarrassment.
"The Imperial Conference is a place where you can speak freely. Minister Jia is right. Does anyone have any other opinions?”
Hearing that the Emperor supported Jia Daode…
The others immediately panicked.
The first to jump out was the Minister of Justice.
"Your Majesty! These Northern Barbarian merchants have violated the law that forbids trading. We, the Ministry of Justice, have discussed this matter and decided that they should all be executed!”
This plan was supported by some ministers.
At this moment, the Minister of War stood out and said,
"Your Majesty, we are at war with the Northern Barbarians. These Northern Barbarian merchants were actually spies of the Northern Barbarians!”
"They are all from the Northern Barbarian Army. They should be presented to the Imperial Ancestral Temple! Then, we'll punish them!"
The Minister of War's words were supported by the ministers, including Chief Assistant Lin Jiancheng.
Zheng Ce System is starting!
Choice! How to deal with the Northern Barbarian merchants!
[A: Mercy of a woman. Release the Northern Barbarian Merchant. National Luck-500, Reputation with the government-10.]
[B: Give the punishment to the Ministry of Justice and clarify the crimes of the northern barbarian merchants.] National Fate 500, Legalization 5
C: Offered prisoners to the ancestral temple, escorted into the city as captives, presented to the ancestral temple to be killed and sacrificed. National Fate 1000, Main Battle Thought 5
Why are there a few more terms this time?
What was Legalization?
What was the main battle ideology?
Forget it, forget it. I can't choose to increase the country's fate anyway.
It seemed like he could only choose option A.
But how could he convince the ministers?
Moreover, only 500 points of National Fate was reduced. Wasn't that too little?
Gao Lingfeng thought for a while and came up with a good idea!
What were these Northern Barbarian merchants doing here?
They were here to buy goods!
Why did the wealthy families of Jin want to do business with the Northern Barbarians?
This was because the winter pearls, ginseng, and mink fur of the northern barbarians were the best sellers.
These were all luxury goods that were in great demand!
Why don't I do business with the Northern Barbarians?
Wonderful!
If he did business with the Northern Barbarians, wouldn't that further ruin the country's fate?
Gao Lingfeng immediately asked the system in his mind,"
"System, if we release the Northern Barbarian merchants and continue to trade with them, how will we settle the payment?”
Option A changing:
[Option A: Contact foreign countries, release the Northern Barbarian merchants, set up a trade zone, and continue trading with the Northern Barbarian merchants.] National Fate-2000, Reputation-10!
Good!
I am indeed a genius!
Then I'll choose this!
Gao Lingfeng thought of the 6000 points of National Fate he had gained back.
His eyes were already red.
He immediately said,"
"All my beloved ministers!"
"Minister Jia is right."
"When two countries are at war, they still don't kill the envoys. Besides, he's just a businessman."
"Our Great Gan Lord Dynasty is in the Kingdom of Heaven. How can we do such a despicable thing!”
"Release these northern barbarian merchants."
"Your Majesty! You mustn't!"
However, Lin Jiancheng remained silent.
Gao Lingfeng glanced at his father-in-law and continued,"
"Not only that, I'm also planning to set up a few markets at the border to trade with these northern barbarian merchants.”
After he said this, the ministers were in an uproar.
Fortunately, Lin Jiancheng shouted,""Silence! The Imperial Conference was noisy! What a disgrace!"
The chief assistant's prestige grew stronger and stronger, and the ministers were suppressed by Lin Jiancheng's imposing manner.
This time, Gao Lingfeng's resentment was vented quite a bit.
His father-in-law's appearance as a powerful official was still reliable.
I still misunderstood him.
"I did this because trade with the Northern Barbarians can't be stopped." Gao Lingfeng continued.”
"Today, we have uprooted the wealthy families of Jin, and tomorrow, there will be others who will take the risk. As long as the demand for this trade is still there, it will not be banned by a ban.”
"Rather than that, it would be better to control the trade under the eyes of the Imperial Court.”
"By setting up a market and trading with the northern barbarians, the imperial court can also obtain the resources they need.”
"This is the best way!"
All the ministers fell silent.
The ban on trading with the Northern Barbarians had been in place since Emperor Taizong.
The four emperors had repeatedly reiterated this, but they had never banned it.
Just as Gao Lingfeng said, it was hard to stop the market demand.
But the trade between the imperial court and the Northern Barbarians?
What did the soldiers at the front think?
What if the morale of the army was shaken?
"It's settled then!" Gao Lingfeng said forcefully. Leave this matter to Minister Jia of the Ministry of Rites! Meeting dismissed!"
