"His Royal Highness the Prince, you are the prince, but you do this businessman......"

This imperial historian still did not let go of Yu Zhiqian, and the eyes of many ministers and nobles brightened, what a big profit this is, if he can get involved.

"The glass mirror is the queen's shop for resale, and it has nothing to do with the prince, so this matter has to be mentioned again......"

The emperor spoke slowly, and the rest of the ministers and nobles looked at each other, and the flames in their eyes slowly disappeared, and the emperor's business ......

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is the prince, you can't be so sheltered, even if there is no glass mirror, soup ditch wine, seaweed, kelp, mahjong...... I have never heard of a prince doing business, if you don't punish it, then ......"

Yu Zhiqian looked at this imperial history, and then looked at the rest of the ministers who were eager to impeach him, and sure enough, the interests were moving, he had already touched some of the interests of the salt before, and the subway mines such as Ma'anshan were discovered, although the national strength was increased, but the interests of some nobles were ......

"The matter of business is a major matter for the benefit of the country and the people, why is it so despised by the imperial history?"

"Businessmen pursue profits, despised by the world, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the foundation of the country, and you can't learn from businessmen and ......"

"The old minister doesn't know why the prince said that the business is beneficial to the country and the people? The old man studied the books of the sages and sages hard, and he had never seen the sages ......"

An old man walked out slowly, Yu Zhiqian looked at it curiously, Li Linfu, the second father-in-law, usually smiling like a good old man, but now he suddenly jumped out.

"Li Zhongyun, did the saint teach Li Zhongyun to make horseshoes, and the saint taught Li Zhongyun that crabs are edible? Saints can educate ......"

Li Linfu's whole face turned red when Yu Zhiqian said it, but he didn't know how to refute it for a while, Yu Zhiqian snorted coldly: "Mencius said, it is better to believe in books, it is better to have no books, read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and know and act together!" ”

"The prince can't talk nonsense, since the prince said that the business is beneficial to the country and the people, then explain it to the ministers of the court!"

The emperor opened his mouth again, and Yu Zhiqian heard that after the meeting, Lu Neng would explain and listen? Where are you going to explain it now? I thought about it quickly in my mind, and I quickly had an idea.

Yu Zhiqian took out twenty yuan from his pocket, no more, there was no way, Donggong was too poor...... Then Yu Zhiqian took out a pen and paper and wrote down some things, ready to start his performance.

"Father, ministers, please see, what is written on this paper is equivalent to goods, let's simulate the process of commodity trading, Di Xiang this is yours, Yu Shangshu, this is yours, Liu Shangshu ......"

Yu Zhiqian took twenty yuan to buy grain from Di Renjie, and then asked Di Renjie to use the money in his hand to buy farm tools...... After a period of trading, the money is still so much, but everyone has the goods they need.

"Father, ministers, please see, this is a complete transaction chain, everyone takes what they need, and the money is put back into the market, and the tax generated by each transaction can fill the treasury, and the palace sells glass mirrors in just three days, how much is the tax paid? It is one of the four hundredth annual income of the treasury of our dynasty, and if there are more than twenty or thirty people in the world, will the treasury of our dynasty be full? Do you still think that the business of the merchant is a lowly thing? ”

The reason is actually very simple, it's just the stereotypical cognition of the ancients, and Yu Zhiqian didn't plan to improve the status of the merchants, but just let everyone know the role of the merchants, so that some people turned their eyes from the land to him, and stopped oppressing the poor people.

After listening to Yu Zhiqian's words, some ministers fell into contemplation, Li Linfu found that he couldn't speak of the prince, and his face was flushed with anger: "Strong words, a bunch of nonsense, businessmen are profitable, if the people are doing business, people's hearts are not ancient, wouldn't my dynasty be dangerous!" ”

"This requires the father and the emperor and the ministers to formulate corresponding laws to restrain the behavior of merchants, according to the ......"

"This matter will be discussed later, but the commercial tax should indeed be mentioned, I took a look at the royal property today, and the twenty tax is indeed a bit low, and the household department ......"

The emperor suppressed this matter with a smile, and casually mentioned the matter of raising taxes on merchants, but not all merchants increased taxes, but it was a profiteering industry like glass.

"Whoa!"

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!"

Jingzhao Yin Meng Wenli stood up and spoke slowly.

"Speak!"

"Your Majesty, there has been heavy snow in Chang'an for many days, many houses in Chang'an City, Lantian County and other places have collapsed, thousands of victims have been affected, and there are ......"

"Tobe!"

"Back to Your Majesty, the household department has allocated money and food to help the people affected by the disaster......"

"Ministry of Industry!"

"Back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry has mobilized craftsmen to repair the affected houses, but there are a large number of victims, and the weather has been severe recently, so it is not suitable to start construction, coupled with the heavy snow in Chang'an, the price of materials needed to build houses has risen, and the money and grain mobilized by the Ministry of Households ......"

"Is there a problem with continuing to recruit and mobilize people, relieving the victims, and mobilizing government soldiers to assist the Ministry of Industry in building houses?"

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no problem!"

"Then ......"

At this time, Yu Zhiqian stood up suddenly, looked at his cheap dad and looked at the household department, a few books in the Ministry of Industry, what is really lacking, before his glass mirror business was robbed by his father and mother, now there is a project to take over, thousands of victims, what a big project is this, if it is next, wouldn't it be a lot of money?

"What's the matter with the prince?"

"Back to my father, my son thinks that the East Palace can take over the matter of repairing the houses for the victims!"

"Don't mess around, this matter is important, don't play with it!"

Yu Zhiqian thought about the current cement output of the East Palace, it is still enough to repair a little house, it depends on how big the profit is in the middle!

"Father, the son is not messing around, I don't know how much budget my father needs to spend on this disaster relief?"

The emperor looked at Yu Zhiqian as if he was joking, and looked at the household, and the household department Shangshu thought for a while and slowly spoke: "This disaster relief, the construction of disaster victims' houses, and the transfer of disaster relief food, is expected to be 30,000 yuan, and the grain is ......."

"So little?"

Yu Zhiqian calculated, but quickly figured it out again, thousands of victims represent not one person and one house, it may be more than a dozen victims for one household, if there are 700 households affected by the disaster, then 30 to 40 taels of silver per household! On average, a person is worth three or four taels of silver......

In this way, it is a lot of money, and the main expenses are the cost of hiring craftsmen and raw materials, throwing these away, not even a tael of silver, but it is already very good, and human life is really worthless in these years.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is already the ...... that the household department can come up with in the near future"

"The price of the emperor's house repair this time is 30,000 yuan, and the son is willing to take it, but he needs to call 2,000 people, and this people's husband wants the household to provide food!"

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince serious?"

Hubu Shangshu's eyes lit up after hearing it, during this time because of the heavy snow in Chang'an, the number of victims continued to increase, Hubu Shangshu's hair was almost white, although the taxes of the autumn harvest had just been collected, but such a big country, money had to be used everywhere, and it had just entered winter, and I didn't know what was going on in the back, so I didn't dare to use money at all.

And as it gets colder day by day, if the victims can't be properly resettled, there will be some chaos at the foot of Chang'an City, and his own household secretary will be considered to be the end of his work.

"Seriously!"

"Prince, disaster relief is a big deal, not child's play!"

The emperor spoke out again, he still believed in Yu Zhiqian's ability, but he didn't trust Yu Zhiqian's sudden initiative to take the job.

Yu Zhiqian looked at his cheap father, and thought viciously in his heart, it wasn't you who forced it, the East Palace is about to collapse, and the original plan to make money to repair the East Palace has run aground again, and now it is snowing heavily in Chang'an, and there are no Hu merchants in Chang'an City, and the glass mirrors in the West Market can't be sold, and if you don't want to make money, there may be Yu Zhiqian, the crown prince of the dynasty, among the victims!

"Erchen confirmed!"

Yu Zhiqian has already calculated in his heart, the cost of cement is very low, what is lacking is the craftsmen who are familiar with cement, these people can be selected from the people, the people are from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and they don't need to pay for themselves, but if they build a house, they still have to earn 30,000 taels, and mosquito legs are also meat.

Some people are also very curious about the East Palace, isn't it still brewing, the wine industry is also profitable, you can make money, now the emperor has begun to raise taxes, and the production of distilled spirits has not been able to go up, plus heavy snow, the wine around Chang'an City can not be transported, and now the price of ordinary rice wine in Chang'an City has doubled, and profits have plummeted.

Now the income from selling wine in the East Palace every day makes up for the loss of the buffet, personnel expenses, and glass burning, and the daily income is less than 100 taels, which looks pretty good, but it can't stand Yu Zhiqian's high consumption as the prince, and basically relies on selling wine Yu Zhiqian's East Palace is to break even, as for repairing the East Palace...... There is also a need for new revenue, at least until after the beginning of spring, when the glass mirrors stored in the East Palace are sold.

As for mahjong, kelp, seaweed, these are small heads, now mahjong has completely become a civilian entertainment product, after the appearance of piracy, the original fifty-two mahjong, now less than five hundred.

Of course, there are also Yu Zhiqian's own problems, the mahjong brought back from Dengzhou, Yu Zhiqian directly started a price war with the pirate merchants, you sell three taels, I sell two taels, and in the end, the two sides tacitly agreed that the price did not continue to reduce the price in the position of 500 Wen.

In the main hall, the emperor looked at Yu Zhiqian as if he was joking, and nodded slowly: "Since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to the prince, disaster relief is a major matter, and the prince should not be regarded as child's play......

"Sons obey orders!"

Yu Tai watched Yu Zhiqian take over the task of disaster relief, and also wanted to stand up and write a sentence, he could too, but after thinking about the recent expenses of the palace, he still endured it, but he was snorting coldly in his heart, the last time he was in Dengzhou, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, the eldest brother's performance was all made up by himself, this time it was on the edge of Chang'an City, if the eldest brother couldn't do it well, hehehe!

Thinking of the current palace treasury, Yu Tai's heart is dripping blood, originally Yu Tai was the richest among the princes, but recently I don't know why he suddenly became the poorest, since when did it start? Yu Tai didn't know either, the treasury was basically empty, only the two thousand taels that were taken back from Lai Junchen and the big shopkeeper yesterday......

Yu Tai didn't believe that his eldest brother could see that in just a few months, his ability had changed so much, and the deception was all fake, and the eldest brother would definitely be revealed this time!

ps: I really don't write about this kind of deceitful thing, sure enough, I'm not a serious historical author......
