The Master has traveled a lot and seen a lot, and naturally thinks more comprehensively than ordinary people. It has been 22 years since the founding of Dahua, but in terms of prosperity, it can only be a few counties, and the people in some places are still living a life of having a meal but not a meal.

Five years ago, Emperor Zhu Chengyuan had raised the issue of the status of small merchants and hawkers with Weng Shixiao, and at that time, in this country where traditional thinking and ancestral etiquette were more stringent, everyone agreed that peddlers and pawns were not something that serious people did, but the life of small families was inseparable from them, so these people struggled to survive in the gap between traditional demeaning ideas and realistic behaviors.

A long time ago, Zhu Chengyuan wanted to change this status quo, but the habitual thinking and acting style of hundreds of years does not mean that it will change, which is why Weng Shixiao said that it still needs to be popularized for 20 years, and if you want to fundamentally change this situation, you have to be steady and steady, and you must not be sloppy!

Lai Si, who was closest to Zhu Chengyuan, couldn't help but feel sad when he heard His Majesty's muttering words, an emperor doesn't just do whatever he wants.

Raisi immediately stood up and said, "Master, I am foolish, can you speak more clearly?" ”

Weng Shixiao knew that although this cabinet deputy was young, his knowledge and ambition were very similar to his own, and he also understood that Rice was standing up for his own ideas at this time.

Of course, Washiro Weng would not miss Laisi's kindness, so he immediately looked around at everyone and said, "As far as the current situation of small traders and vendors in Gyeonggi Province is concerned, although it seems to be very prosperous, there is actually no order at all, and I believe everyone has this experience. It's just that ordinary people don't care about this, and people only care that they can buy what they think is equivalent with the right copper money, but it's not. Have you ever seen a small trader fight for the favor of the people who buy something? Have you ever seen a business at a loss in order to sell your goods? Have you ever seen a big merchant controlling prices in the market? ”

Faced with the three questions of the master's soul, everyone fell into contemplation, and Emperor Zhu Chengyuan was even more incredible. Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor had not seen the situation mentioned by Weng Shixiao, all he knew was the various briefings reported by the people below or the various important information transmitted back by the shadow guard, but he had never heard of these seemingly very small things.

Weng Shixiao looked at everyone's incredulous expressions and smiled: "My idea is to rectify these inconspicuous situations, but they involve the hearts of the people of my Dahua. ”

At this time, an official of the Imperial History Observatory stood up and asked with a puzzled expression: "I don't know what the master's words about the people's will have to do with this agricultural and commercial institute, can you elaborate on one or two of them, so as to solve the doubts in our hearts." ”

Weng Shixiao nodded and said slowly: "The main purpose of the Agricultural and Commercial Institute in my heart is to recruit poor people and market traders and pawns, cultivate their main knowledge of business and farming, and influence the surrounding people through them. ”

"And what are the admission criteria?" A minister asked.

"I have a free set of assessment standards, and I don't know that anyone can enter, only those who pass the assessment can." The master continued: "Of course, this also requires the financial support of the ministers, after all, not everyone has the entrance fee. ”
