Chapter 62: Corporal Lixian

The Princess's Mansion is located in the inner city of Yongdu, less than a kilometer away from the Imperial Palace, but Li Hongsleeve rarely lives in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and she spends most of her time asking about the Immortal Pavilion.

And today, Li Hongsleeve asked people to clean up the eldest princess's mansion, and very solemnly welcomed Li Hongsleeve's guests today.

"Mr. Jiang, please be seated"

"Eldest princess, you are tormenting the lower officials"

"This princess has always admired talented people, I only knew that you could solve cases and make money, but I didn't expect you to have the talent to govern the country, this is the negligence of this princess, so today is also an apology to you, and you didn't discover your talent in time"

"The lower officials are afraid"

Jiang Cheng hurriedly said, Li Hongsleeve is very powerful, if it is an ordinary person, he really can't bear this trick, I'm afraid he has to do his best.

"Sit down and talk"

"Thank you, Princess"

"I read your previous article about Shangjia, it's very exciting, but it doesn't seem to be completely finished."

"Yes, because there is so much content, I can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights."

"Then I want to hear Mr. Jiang's views today."

Li Hongsleeve said to Jiang Cheng, she even changed her title, and the word Mr. is an honorific title.

"Gao Jian didn't dare to be, Jiang Cheng only wanted to use his shallow knowledge to answer some confusion for the eldest princess, I don't know what the eldest princess wants to hear"

"I know that the example you gave in your article is the example of using commercial means to crush the enemy country"

"This is what I saw in an ancient book that says ·····"

Jiang Cheng said casually, and said the example of Guan Zhong's enough Bailu in history, of course, he couldn't say it directly, but attributed the matter to a certain history in this world.

Before the Great Wei was the Great Xuan, and before the Great Xuan was a period of war for hundreds of years, the long-term war made the cultural fault line in this world very serious, and the history before the earlier was very vague, so it is difficult to distinguish whether what Jiang Cheng said is true or false.

"Bailu, I didn't expect it to have this kind of effect, does Mr. think Da Wei can copy this kind of example?"

"Yes or no, it's not difficult to copy, it's difficult for the monarch and the minister to work together, what is needed is the power of a country to do something"

"For example?"

"Poison is nothing more than starvation, as long as it is outside of food, you can, such as pepper, this spice, the rest of the countries buy more, when the Great Wei only needs to order a strict ban on planting pepper, and then the court intends to pursue these things, it will naturally make the subjects rush to it, profitable, the merchants will increase their buying power, causing its price to skyrocket, the people will plant, can't stop it, it only takes a few years, and when the enemy country expands the planting area of spices and needs to import a large amount of grain, you can block the border, At that time, the enemy country will be starving, and Great Wei will not even need to mobilize troops, they will be in chaos by themselves."

"A Poisonous Scheme"

Li Hongsleeve sighed, if it is really operated, it can really destroy some small countries, and the big countries may not work, and it will only hurt their vitality.

"This strategy is simple, but it is difficult to do, the eldest princess should not have too high expectations"

"I know, but knowing this can also prevent the enemy country from using this trick on my Great Wei"

"The Eldest Princess is Wise"

"Sir continues, I am interested in the business model that Sir said in the article"

"In fact, the model that the lower officials said should not be the way of businessmen, but what the imperial court should do"

"The Imperial Court?"

"Yes, dare to ask the eldest princess, what has caused the people to revolt against the court since ancient times, and let the people sell their sons and daughters"

"This..."

"There are many reasons, but in summary, it is poverty, the people are too poor to live, so they can only sell their sons and daughters, and if they can't live like this, they will rebel"

"Sir is right"

"Therefore, the imperial court should be to help the poor, so that the poor people can live, and the Great Wei will naturally prosper for ten thousand years."

"It should be so, but Mr. also knows that the court can't do it, and there are too many poor people in the world."

"Xia Guan understands, so we can use the business model to carry out a small scale of poverty alleviation, as far as the fried chicken made by Xia Guan yesterday is concerned, I want a chicken and ····· oil."

Jiang Cheng began to give the eldest princess a science of poverty alleviation, when the time comes, the eldest princess can come forward to fund the establishment of a business, a large number of purchase of chicks, hens, and spice seeds, free distribution to those who are extremely poor, by them to plant and breed, and then a few months or half a year later, the business will be purchased back, Jiang Cheng is responsible for the final sales part, so that the farmers get benefits, can live, naturally will not rebel.

And Jiang Cheng is sure that Li Hongsleeve will definitely agree, Jiang Cheng has been observing Li Hongsleeve for a long time, this is a woman who wants to make a difference in politics, even if she is asking the Immortal Pavilion, she will often intervene in some things, although she will lose some money in poverty alleviation, but she can gain great prestige, and prestige is a very powerful thing in politics.

"Will this poverty alleviation work?"

The sensitive Li Hongsleeve immediately realized the mystery of this, if she was asked to do poverty alleviation, wouldn't it be that thousands of poor households would be grateful to her?

Moreover, this matter occupies the righteousness, and whoever dares to come out to oppose it at that time will definitely be drowned with spittle.

"It works, and it doesn't cost a lot, how much money can hens and chickens cost, even those spice seeds, it doesn't cost much, but it should be noted that the employment must be correct, we must find those who are from poor backgrounds, just and selfless people, and we must really distribute this welfare to the poor, not to fill their own pockets, and the eldest princess must send someone to supervise when the time comes."

"It's not difficult, sir, let's talk about the details, how much money it will cost, how many people to find, and how to operate"

Li Hongsleeve is very interested now, she has a lot of money, and the kind that can't be used up will usually be used to fund some people, but she now feels that Jiang Cheng's approach is better and more beneficial.

Jiang Cheng slowly told her about the plan, and even thought of a lot of ways to save money for her, such as centralized incubation, to buy eggs, and then unify or even use artificial incubation to make a batch of chickens, which can also be used on other livestock.

Jiang Cheng said for more than an hour, these experiences were all gained from Jiang Cheng's previous watching documentaries, poverty alleviation, a certain country has been doing it for decades, sending chickens and piglets are the most commonly used means, and there will be more advanced ones in the future, but now they will definitely not be used.

"Sir, there is only one last question for Red Sleeves"

"Eldest Princess, please speak"

"I'm willing to do this, but when the time comes, there will be officials who will attack me, saying that I bought people's hearts, how to deal with it"

"It's simple, just smash the ledger in his face, the eldest princess is here to make money"

"Still making money?"

"Of course, when the time comes, after the unified acquisition, my store will buy, slightly higher than the princess's purchase price, especially those chickens and duck offal, when the time comes, the price will be higher, plus feathers can also be made into feather dusters, although the profit is low, but it can always offset the expenses, the focus is on those spices and oil crops, and not only for my family, the eldest princess can be sold normally, when the time comes, we will buy directly from the farmers, no other businessmen have ever done it, The price is definitely lower than other merchants, and it is naturally profitable.

This is a win-win thing, farmers earn silver, princesses earn silver, Xiaguan opens a small shop, earn a little silver, no, it's a win-win, Yongdu people can also buy spices at cheap prices at that time, as long as the scale is large enough, I'm afraid the rest of the merchants who lose money, so the princess still has to be careful of those merchants' bites"

"How can I be afraid of them?"

The eldest princess smiled, spices are very expensive, they are all run by some big merchants, and there are also nobles behind the big merchants, but what powerful people can compare to her?

"The eldest princess is naturally not afraid, this is also the reason why the lower official is looking for the eldest princess to cooperate, otherwise the lower official will come to get this, and it won't be long before a rebellious hat will be covered, and the lower official will not be able to hold it."

"Those mediocre people, they can't think of this kind of policy for the benefit of the country and the people, it will only be a bad thing, don't worry, sir, if anyone dares to touch you in the future, this princess will naturally be the master for you"

"Thank you, Eldest Princess"

Jiang Cheng saluted and said, he can be regarded as waiting for this sentence, and now he is branded as the eldest princess.

"How much money do you think is better to invest in this matter first?"

"Is the eldest princess going fast or slow?"

"Nature is fast"

"If you want to spend more silver soon, it is more appropriate to prepare 500,000 taels of silver in advance"

"So much?"

"If the eldest princess has a farm outside the city, it can be less, and it doesn't have to be there right away, just within half a year."

"I'll find a few people to do it, and you can teach them how to do it, and I'll come often."

"Tsing Yi Wei's side..."

"I'll help you out"

"Thank you, Princess"

Jiang Cheng arched his hand, it seems that the eldest princess is going to recruit him completely, as long as the news comes out, Jiang Cheng will be the person on the eldest princess's side.

The eldest princess was interested, and asked Jiang Cheng a lot of questions, especially the sentence that there is no farming, no stability, no business, no wealth, which shocked the eldest princess, these are all words at the level of governance, which makes her look forward to Jiang Cheng's talent even more.

Later, the eldest princess also asked Jiang Cheng what he thought about this Spring Festival, and Jiang Cheng also answered truthfully, the imperial examination is naturally good, but the imperial examination is now a venue for the competition of the court bosses, so it is naturally a change of taste, and he suggested that the eldest princess might as well take a look at those unsuccessful scholars, among whom there are no talented people.

"Maxima is often there, but Bole is not often, the eldest princess can observe carefully and find out the Maxima among the scholars"

Jiang Cheng said to the eldest princess, the scholars of Chunfu can be said to be the smartest group of people in Dawei, and there must be a large number of talented people in it, it depends on how you find it and how you get it.
