"Guanlin, what do you say...... Do you think I'm ugly?"

"You know me, I've been in a mess for most of my life, I don't know how many ideas I have saved in my head and haven't had a chance to show them, this time I finally met the Lord, there is something to do, how can there be a reason to regret my strength?"

"And now that my family has come to Jiangdu, they all say that the Assassin Mansion does not raise idlers, if I can't get the affirmation of Lord Assassin Shi, what will I use to support my family?"

"Wang Changshi, Ran Nushi...... These two are both Assassins' henchmen, what can I compare to them? All we can do is be more diligent......

He admits that his mouth opened a little wider when he ate today, but as a newcomer, it was the time to grow his body, so it was normal to eat two more bites, right?

Wang Yue didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him at all, but gradually felt that Luo Guanlin's reminder was a little untenable-

"Speaking of which, Wang Changshi and Ran Nushi are both adults' own families, so Ran Nushi doesn't need to be said, they are equivalent to the second pair of eyes of adults...... Wang Changshi is in charge of the affairs of the Assassin's Mansion, and he is already very busy on weekdays, so he is very happy to see us and others share the worries of the adults. I am so active and diligent, I expect them to be relieved before it is too late, how can they think that I have stolen the limelight?"

To put it bluntly, the status of Wang Changshi and Ran Nushi is above him, who doesn't like it

Doesn't competition happen to people of the same status and position?

Thinking of this, Wang Yue's gaze at his friend gradually changed, and he asked tentatively, "Guanlin, are you worried...... Will I shake your position in the hearts of adults?"

In the small study room for only two people, Luo Guanlin sat upright: "...... Never!"

Seeing that Wang Yuewu showed a little sadness, Luo Guanlin twisted his eyebrows again and said, "If I have such thoughts, why did I strongly recommend you to come to Jiangdu in the first place?"

Wang Yue has reservations about this statement, but it is not necessarily, what if he is afraid that he will not be able to eat enough, but he is afraid that he will eat too well?

Human nature is like this...... He is not incomprehensible.

Wang Yue sighed as if he was displaced: "I understand, Guanlin, I will listen to your admonition and hide more in front of Lord Thorn Shi in the future......

Luo Guanlin was a little anxious, how could he bear the notoriety of competing for favor with Wang Wangshan? And the fight is still the favor of a seventeen-year-old girl!

He will not admit it...... No, he didn't have that in mind!

In order to justify his name, Luo Guanlin finally said: "Don't think nonsense, you don't know, I have a three-year agreement with her privately, and I will leave Jiangdu in three years, and this three-year agreement is just to repay her kindness to save my people!"

In short, there is no emotion, it is all a last resort!

Wang Yue: "?"

After three years, leaving Jiangdu?

Wang Yue turned around in the chair and faced Luo Guanlin beside him: "Guanlin...... How come I have never heard you mention such an important matter before?"

"In three years, if you're gone, what will I do?" Wang Yue asked uneasily.

Luo Guanlin said calmly: "It's just an expedient measure now, if there is a better place to go then, I will bring you with me......

Wang Yue didn't listen to him at all, and said straightly, "No...... In this case, I am afraid that I will not be able to support myself at that time, and I need to strengthen my position as soon as possible!"

Luo Guanlin looked at his friend indescribably - he didn't think about going with him at all, did he?

It is impossible for Wang Yue to consider this choice easily, first, he is now full of ambition and has a lot of hopes for Jiangdu; Second, he has finally decided on the candidate for the lord now, if he is asked to switch to someone else...... Does anyone understand how cruel and terrible this is for him?

Wang Yue then said in a heart-wrenching tone: "Guanlin, there has always been no bottleneck period for you to choose a master, but I am different, it took me most of my life to settle the history of the regular assassination, and I would never be willing to change the new master unless it was a last resort."

Luo Guanlin's eyebrows are tightly locked, what is the time when there is no bottleneck in choosing a master?

said that he Luo Guanlin is like a person who is in the morning and evening!

"So, the ...... Hurry up and help me!" Wang Yue folded his hands and bowed to Luo Guanlin: "Fang is my villain's heart, misunderstanding you...... You have nothing

Please, a good person will do it to the end, and help me stabilize my position in front of Lord Thorn Shi!"

He had heard that there were not a few scribes who had recently come to the Assassin's Mansion, but Wang Changshi was still screening and waiting, and he didn't let those people go into the study to do things for the time being.

But the competition after that is bound to be fierce, and it is important to stabilize the position as soon as possible!

"Guanlin, tell me what taboos and preferences Lord Thorn Shi has on weekdays?"

"Guanlin, the foolish brother has a reluctant request...... In the future, if you have a good idea, why don't you let me in private? You don't need it, do you?"

「……」

Luo Guanlin suddenly felt that he was roasted on the fire, so now he is forced to help Wang Wangshan "fix his pet", right?

What the hell is he doing tonight?

That night, Luo Guanlin was pestered by Wang Yue to ask Chang Suining's likes and dislikes, and it took three watches before he was able to get out.

Therefore, when he appeared in front of Chang Suining the next day, the fundus of his eyes was slightly blue and black.

Chang Suining summoned Jiangdu officials to discuss the matter, summarized the problems encountered in these days, and discussed the solutions one by one.

After the officials left the meeting hall, Wang Changshi also retreated to arrange affairs.

At this time, an errand officer came to spread the word, saying that someone wanted to see Lord Thorn Shi, but his identity was unknown, and he only claimed to be surnamed Yuan, saying that he knew Lord Thorn Shi.

Chang Suining asked Yao Ran to meet him first to check the authenticity.

After Yao Ran left, Chang Suining looked at Luo Guanlin, who was sitting in the same place and sorting out the notes at hand: "Mr. Qian, do you have something to say?"

At this moment, everyone dispersed, and in addition to Chang Suining, only Luo Guanlin and Wang Yue were left in the chamber.

During the deliberations, Luo Guanlin wanted to speak several times and stopped, but at that time, in front of those officials, he did not speak directly.

Listening to Chang Suining's question at this moment, he put down the notebook in his hand, looked at the girl wearing a scarlet official robe for the first time, and asked before answering: "Your Excellency, do you know why the imperial court chose to suppress industry and commerce?"

Shinong industry and commerce, industry and commerce in the back, this is the value recognition division.

Chang Suining nodded.

Luo Guan said: "Businessmen seek profit, and if they see profit, they can do everything. And once they become strong, most of them will deceive frequently, force the good to be cheap, and even collude with the official power to deceive the superior and the subordinate, so if they do not try to degrade their status, they will shake the foundation of the country."

"And the origin of the merchant is also closely related to the worker, the worker creates things, and the merchant sells them—"

Luo Guanlin looked at Chang Suining and said bluntly: "Your Excellency is now going to set up a craftsman academy in the Wuji Courtyard to train craftsmen and let them grow vigorously, this move may bring temporary prosperity to Jiangdu, but if the craftsmen are allowed to develop and grow, or it will only take a few years, they will flow into all walks of life and pursue profits together with businessmen, and the foreseeable harm will inevitably be two-"

Chang Sui Ning bowed his head and took his words: "First, once the status of the workers is elevated and the interests of the businessmen rise, it is easy for the people to lose their lives from reality, and people's hearts will fluctuate and retreat, and they will not be willing to be content with farming, which will shake the foundation of agriculture."

Luo Guanlin was stunned for a moment, and then listened to the girl continue: "Second, once the industrial and commercial connections are strong, the hands are heavy, and the collusion is strong, it will be like salt dealers and the like, and I am afraid that there will be a big tail in the future, and the worries of the government will be countered."

Luo Guanlin took a deep look at her and said, "That's right, once this kind of situation is formed, it will be like a bubble when it is prosperous, and it may collapse at any time."

He couldn't help but ask, "If you know this well, why did you choose to set up a craftsman academy? Is what the adults are asking for is just a moment of prosperity like a return to the light? For this reason, we must ignore the possible drawbacks of this powerful medicine?"

"Sir, I need craftsmen, and I need a lot of skilled craftsmen who can make new things."

There was conviction and firmness in the girl's cold eyes: "Sir, do you know how important it is to have a good sword, a good armor, and a warship that can break through the wind and waves on the battlefield? They can even make the difference between victory and defeat in a battle. And the advent of a sharp weapon that has never been seen by other countries, if it plays a role in a key battle, can make or break the survival of a country. Now there are internal and external troubles, foreign enemies are continuous, and the great prosperity and decline are exhausted, and they need to be protected by a sharp edge."

The girl's voice was not heavy, but there seemed to be the sound of a golden iron horse behind her.

Luo Guanlin had never been on the battlefield, but at this moment, he actually saw the tenacious and indomitable spirit of protecting the country from this seventeen-year-old girl.

He suddenly believed that she really wanted to shelter the land and its people.

"This is a concern for the survival of the war." Chang Sui Ning continued, "What the workers have created has benefited in all aspects. Since farming, the importance of agricultural tools is self-evident, and if we can build on the current foundation, we can do more with less manpower – the development of workers will not only indirectly 'hurt farmers', but also directly help farmers."

"I can't argue with the benefits of what my lord said." Or really realized Chang Suining's intentions, Luo Guanlin's tone sounded much softer, but his attitude was still clear: "But the adult also mentioned the harm that this move will bring, after weighing the two, does the adult still think it is worth it?"

"Yes." Chang Suining said without hesitation: "But I will try to minimize the harm, I want a craftsman, and I have no intention of elevating the status and interests of a businessman—"

Luo Guanlin: "But the craftsman and the merchant are one cause and one effect......

Chang Suining raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea and asked, "What if all those craftsmen who have mastered the latest skills belong to me?"

Luo Guan looked at her puzzled.

"The craftsmen I have cultivated should be used by me." Chang Suining took a sip of tea and said, "Sir, I plan to build four workshops in Jiangdu."

Luo Guanlin didn't react for a moment: "...... The Second Courtyard has not yet been fully completed, so why should we build a workshop?"

Chang Suining blinked his eyes: "I don't build a workshop, where are the craftsmen who come out of the Wuji Academy's Craftsman Academy going to do things in the future?"

"It turns out that Lord Thorn has already thought about the whereabouts of these craftsmen!" Wang Yue pondered, "In this way, we can give restraint and supervision to the greatest extent......

He also knew that this sentence was not of any level, but he couldn't interject all the time, and it wasn't a thing!

When he heard Lao Luo say it halfway, he was already regretting it - such a good opportunity to perform, why didn't he leave it!

But Wang Yue also knows that such topics are too deep, and he is destined not to be able to grasp Luo Guanlin - people who have been to the capital and become officials are still different after all.

The angle of vision and the degree of acuity, he is a little behind.

Wang Yue knew that he was not as good as it, and secretly made up his mind to ask his friends for advice in the future, and in the name of shameless questioning, he ruthlessly slashed his friends' wool.

But then again...... Lord Assassin Shi hasn't been an official for long, how can he be able to answer freely with Lao Luo?

"Yes, restraint is one thing." Chang Suining said, "I not only want to supervise, but also to profit."

She used very straightforward words: "The interests are in my hands, in the hands of the government, in the hands of the court, just like the official salt, how to distribute to those merchants, how to regulate, I said."

Luo Guanlin raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by your lordship, is you going to build an official workshop?"

"Of course." Chang Suining said: "I not only want to build a porcelain workshop, a silk weaving workshop, but also a shipyard and a smelting workshop, which must be approved by the imperial court."

The government-run handicraft industry has existed since the Western Zhou Dynasty. At present, she is not the first case, there are government-run paper mills and porcelain workshops in Xuanzhou.

"In the current situation in Jiangdu, even if the imperial court agrees to build a workshop, the household department may not be able to allocate the money now......" Luo Guanlin said tactfully.

He also had to build ships and smelt, and he didn't dare to think about how much silver was burned.

"It's okay, as long as the imperial court approves it, I can pay for the silver in advance." Chang Suining smiled: "I just have some money in my hand."

Extra money?

The three million in her private treasury?

Luo Guanlin wanted to sigh inexplicably, and only had a few days of leisure...... She can't save any money in her hand, so she has to toss something.

But if these workshops do open, the profits should be considerable. And workshops that can enrich the national treasury and are supervised by the government will also be welcomed by the imperial court.

She financed her own funds, and most of the craftsmen in Japan came from the Mujiin Temple...... Although the name is spoken

It is a government business, and it also has to pay taxes, but it is almost the same as her private sector.

Therefore, first build the Wuji Courtyard and then build the workshop, she is afraid that she has already laid out a complete bureau for Jiangdu in her heart.

In this way, craftsmen can give better play to their strengths at the same time, get standardized management, create benefits by her distribution, market by her control, can effectively reduce the impact on the system order.

She tried to get Jiang Du to fly, but the string of the kite was held in her hand...... Then everything is controllable to a certain extent.

It can also be seen that she understands the importance of the word "rule".

In fact, Fang just said that there are many drawbacks, in the final analysis, the biggest harm is not conducive to the rule, which is also the fundamental reason why the imperial court emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, and degrades a novel skill to a strange skill.

"Don't worry, sir, I'm not just a fan of fantasies." Chang Suining put down the teacup and said, "This world will always need order and means to maintain stability, and I will not ignore the fundamentals at any time."

At this moment, looking at the girl's body, Luo Guanlin's heart was surging like a wave, and slowly settled, and he couldn't tell what it was like.
