Chapter 332: Lie Down Honestly

"Jiangnan is close to the sea, and the people from the Maritime Customs are everywhere, so shipping is not easy."

"The fragrant dew was very popular in Daliang for a while, but in the future it will only be sold to ordinary people."

"There must be some smart merchants who will take the perfumed dew to foreign countries to trade."

The map in Zhao Fangyu and Zhou Qinghe's study was taken out at this time. Zhao Fangyu knocked on Nanzhao, and his dark eyelashes showed coldness and indifference.

"The maritime trade in Daliang is supervised by the Maritime Customs. We can only ask for money, but not weapons, armor, or food."

"But after passing through Nanzhao, this small country is on the sea."

"Sell the fragrant dew, tea, and silk from Nanzhao and Daliang, which are the daily enjoyment items of the nobles, to foreign countries."

“What we obtain will not be taken to Daliang, but will be taken around the border, through the mountains and into Longxi.”

Li Qillang's pupils were lighter in color than those of ordinary people, and at this moment, under the sunlight, he had a captivating gaze.

"You are quite courageous."

To put it nicely, this is trading, but to put it bluntly, it is smuggling!

For a big family like the Li family, such behavior is indeed somewhat unacceptable.

But Li Qilang did not blame or belittle Zhao Fangyu. Instead, he smiled and praised him: "If you grew up in Longxi, you might become the tyrant of Longxi."

Fourteenth Niang is one of the most outstanding girls of this generation in the family.

But compared with Zhao Fangyu, Shisiniang is still a little inferior.

The girls of this generation in the Li family were still taking care of their dowries, but Zhao Fangyu had already expanded her business beyond the borders of Daliang. She kept a close eye on the political situation, and as a woman, she fought against the men sitting in the temple.

The Emperor, the Yang Family, the Third Prince...

These people didn't get any advantage from her. There were so many people who relied on the power of the Li family, but how many of them could move between the various parties like her and take them all into account?

He is just Zhao Fangyu.

But what Li Qilang liked and admired most about Zhao Fangyu was that even if her plan that she had been planning for many years was disrupted, she would not be discouraged. This young girl would try every possible means to give a fierce counterattack.

Like a green pine, even heavy frost and snow cannot bend her back.

"However, my aunt from the Li family does not have to stick to conventional etiquette."

"I will take care of Longxi's affairs. I have no say in the maritime trade, but I will help mediate with the head of the family."

Li Qillang felt that this plan was feasible, although it was not very straightforward. However, seeing that the situation was about to become chaotic, the old emperor was incompetent and everyone in the court had their own calculations. Although the aristocratic families seemed to be standing still, they were actually making plans behind the scenes.

Their home was being watched by countless people.

"Don't worry about your husband. The head of the family has sent someone to pick him up."

Zhao Fangyu thanked him without changing her expression much, and Li Qilang knew that his cousin did not like Zhou Qinghe as much as the rumors said.

"Also, please ask my brother to recommend the Xianglu maritime trade in the court."

Li Qillang waited quietly for further information, and Zhao Fangyu did not keep him in suspense.

"Anyone who goes out to sea with the fleet must bring two people with them."

"One is a nephew of Yang Gushan. He claims to be his nephew, but he is actually his concubine's son. He has been raised by his cousin for many years and has not met her, but he has no shortage of gold and silver items."

"The other person is the son of the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and is now a lecturer at Chongwenyuan."

"Yang Gushan and the Zheng family conspired together. The Yang family wanted to produce a queen, and the Zheng family wanted to use the merit of following the dragon to return to the army."

Pirates are rampant at sea, and it is common for a few people to die.

Li Qilang immediately understood what Zhao Fangyu meant.

The two families teamed up to use the emperor to cut off Zhao Fangyu's financial resources, and Zhao Fangyu wanted to cut off their lives.

One is a concubine's son, and the other is the eldest son and grandson...

She is worthy of being a woman who can expand her business beyond Daliang.

"Okay, but you'll have to wait."

This matter has nothing to do with the Censorate. It requires mobilizing the connections that have been made in the past, and Li Qilang also has to make long-term plans.

However, the Li family also took away a lot of power from the Zheng family army in Xingyang, so it is naturally impossible to ask them to give up the meat they have obtained.

That would mean that the Zheng family would not be able to realize their plan and would not be able to gain the credit of following the emperor. At least in this lifetime, they would have to stay in the civil officials' nest.
