Chapter 628: Chatting on the Street
In the end, the empress took Ren Baqian and left quickly from the beam, and the emperor of a country came out to pay a private visit and ran away like fleeing for his life.
Of course, she didn't cheap Tong Zhenye, and kicked Tong Zhenye out of the street.
Tong Zhenye smashed a house and fell to another street, and lay there pondering for a long time before he clapped his palms and suddenly realized what the empress meant.
"Ren 8,000...... You're cheating me!"
The empress heard Tong Zhenye's shout in the distance and asked Ren Baqian: "What did you do to him?"
"Forgot!" Ren Yachidao.
"Oh!" the Empress nodded.
The two of them walked around the Baishi District for a long time, and when the rest of Lancheng gradually declined, this place that sold all kinds of weapons, farming tools, and iron tools was much more lively.
Thanks to the weapons left by the Great Xia army last year and the iron ore brought back from Yunguo by the auxiliary army some time ago, the price of iron ore in Lancheng has dropped, and the iron market is much more prosperous than before.
Ren Baqian also saw an imitation of a manual fan here! It was the kind he made at the earliest, pulling it with a rope and turning the fan for a while.
The blades of this kind of fan are all made of wood, one or two silver, and they sell quite well.
The two of them then took a walk around the Stone Pot District, which had been the largest place to trade hides, but now almost all of them were closed.
"Have you ever thought about taking out something? The treasury revenue is too low, Tuwan complained many times. The Empress asked as she walked.
"Although the well salt that the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household are in charge of now can replenish the treasury somewhat, the silver is used to fill the previous shortfall. Moreover, the price of salt in Dayao is too high, and the burden on the people is too great. Especially as you just said, the hides of the mountain people are rotten, and naturally there is no income, so I want to reduce the price of salt, about half of it at present, so that the people can afford it. ”
"Someone told Your Majesty, right?" Ren Baqian smiled.
"I know what they think, but they don't think right. This country is mine, and you have to share some of my worries, so I will come to ask you. Others can have their own little ideas and keep all the good things in their own hands, but I can't, I am the emperor. And you're my chosen husband, so you can't either!" said the empress slowly.
"Of course, what Your Majesty wants to do is what I should do!" Ren Baqian said with a smile.
Then the two found a place to sit down on the side of the street, and Ren Baqian thought for a long time before saying, "We should collect some furs!"
"Why?" the empress was a little puzzled.
"Since the start of the war, the merchants of the three countries have disappeared, the furs of the mountain people cannot be sold, they are all rotten, and the mountain people naturally have no income, they have no income, and naturally they have no spending power.
Collecting furs now gives the mountain people some income, and they can spend in the city and buy the materials they need to survive.
Second, nitrate fur requires manpower, and it can increase the income of these people, and it can also improve the situation of some people.
The money is just a number in the warehouse, but when it is circulated, it can stimulate the entire market and change the lives of many people.
Finally, the price of fur is extremely low now, and as long as you find a way to sell your fur to Daxia, you can make a profit. ”
The empress was a little ignorant when she heard her words, Da Yao's business model was very primitive, and there were few types of taxes, so she didn't pay much attention to business.
Ren Baqian said, she listened, anyway, Ren Baqian is better than her in this regard.
However, she was a little happy that the hides of the mountain people would not rot. As Ren Baqian said, at least this can solve some problems.
"You can only do this, and you want to get money from the treasury, and you will be crazy. The empress said.
"Naturally. Ren Baqian nodded, if he wanted to marry the empress, he would naturally be responsible for Da Yao's mess, but he didn't resist at all.
"What they want is spices, right?" Ren Baqian muttered to himself.
"This thing is in the hands of His Majesty, and others dare not touch it lightly. But if it is given to them, it is planted by every family.
At the current price of spices, anyone who has access to this stuff will not let it go, and it is very easy for those ministers to get spice seeds from the Ministry of Works.
At that time, the most likely thing is that all the farmland around Lancheng is planted with spices, not to mention that the price will drop sharply, and it will also affect the cultivation of grain crops, and it will be handed over to them after a few years of stabilization. ”
"I could have come up with other things, such as soap, and cotton and textile technology. ”
"It's good if you think you can. The empress put one hand on Ren Baqian's shoulder, put her chin on the back of her hand, and blew into Ren Baqian's ear a little mischievously.
She still remembered that every time Ren Baqian spoke close to her ear, she would itch from her ear to her heart, so she wanted to see how Ren Baqian reacted.
"Ahh
"Hmph!" the empress snorted lightly and sat up straight, Ren Baqian's shouting was too exaggerated, and the acting was not enough to devote.
"Go back!" said the empress.
"Good. ”
......
The next day, Ren Baqian went to the Ministry of Industry to teach Tong Zhenye the practice of soap, and helped Tong Zhenye plan and build the first soap factory in Dayao.
Then he began to recruit people, open shops, and build a leather processing factory in a wasteland outside the city.
After a while, a shop on Jingyang Street in Lancheng put up a sign to buy fur.
A few days after the shop opened, it was crowded with mountain people who had heard the news.
The furs that had been piling up for a long time and had even begun to rot were transported into Arashiro in large quantities and weighed in the courtyard behind the shop!
Yes, over-proportioned!
Ordinary fur is calculated by the pound, just like collecting waste paper.
The price was a little lower than the original purchase price of the merchants of the three countries, but it was enough to make the mountain people ecstatic.
After knowing that this shop was the background of the royal family, many people regarded this as a good deed done by the empress to sympathize with the people, after all, Dayao did not have the means to make fur, and now there was still a war outside, and the trade routes were completely cut off.
Your Majesty's only reason for doing this is to pity the people.
For a while, the empress's reputation rose to a higher level.
An emperor can be considerate and kind to the people, which is enough to make the emperor loved by the people.
What's more, the empress is the strongest of the ancient clan, she can win battles outside and treat the people kindly, so she is the best emperor in the hearts of the people.
And during this time, the war in Izumo Province has changed a little.
First of all, the elephants appeared on the battlefield, and this thick-skinned behemoth reaped great results from the beginning.
Azusa Donglai used elephant soldiers as the vanguard to attack the enemy formation, and annihilated nearly 100,000 troops in Izumo Province in a single battle.
Of course, in this battle, these elephant soldiers also lost more than half, so it can be said that they became consumables, and they were crippled in the first battle.
However, the purpose of Azusa Dong's arrival was also achieved, and this battle directly knocked out half of the available forces of Izumo Province.
Then the hundred households and Tiqi who were mobilized from the Land of Heavenly View also entered the cities of Izumo with the help of the Zhang family, and continuously passed on the news to Zidonglai.
