Chapter 35 Mu Chuqian's Proposal

Chapter 35 Mu Chuqian's Proposal
"My son believes that the actions of Princess Yangshuo are a good momentum, and we can take advantage of the momentum." Mu Chuqian said.

As soon as Mu Chuqian said this, everyone looked at him.

Especially Zeng Xiaoxiao, who was both surprised and nervous.

In her heart, this step will be taken sooner or later, but it is too early now.Mu Chuqian's behavior easily angered the emperor.

"Why take advantage of the trend?" The emperor lost the expectation just now, his expression was cloudy and uncertain, and he felt that he was going to get angry at any time.

Even though Mu Chucong pulled Mu Chuqian's sleeve, Mu Chuqian remained calm.

He also gave Mu Chucong a reassuring look.

"Returning to the emperor means not suppressing the enthusiasm of the businessman and protecting the social status of the businessman." Mu Chuqian replied.

"You are so courageous!" The emperor panicked, patted the table and stood up.

The ink on the table was shaken and splashed out, and the brush on the brush holder was also shaking.

When everyone heard it, they knelt down in fright.

Even the queen knelt on the ground together, trembling and afraid to speak.

"Scared my queen." The emperor hurriedly smiled and helped the queen up, then turned around and faced everyone seriously.

"Get up too." The emperor waved his hand and continued to return to the dragon chair.

"Do you know that emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce is a national policy? It has been carried on for hundreds of years?" The emperor continued, his voice full of majesty.

"My son knows." Mu Chuqian's voice softened a little.

"You know that you still make such ridiculous suggestions!?" The emperor asked with reproach.

"Did the wind on the border in recent years make you stupid?" the emperor said with a bit of sarcasm.

"Father, Rong Erchen, speak carefully." Mu Chuqian said patiently without being upset.

"Okay, I'll see what's going on in your head!" The emperor said seriously, a little annoyed.

"Before Yunqi Kingdom was established, it relied on its huge economic advantages to prevent the enemy from invading. We hid wealth from the people, and the treasury was also very sufficient, so we were able to win many battles and establish Yunqi Kingdom."

"However, for hundreds of years, in order to prevent farmers from flowing to other countries, we have emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and advocated production."

"On the surface, the economy is prosperous and the momentum of agricultural development is good, but in fact, many farmers have experienced long-term development, and their land is getting less and less. Most of the land is owned by rich landlords and gentry. The life of farmers is getting more and more difficult. Displaced, with nowhere to go, the national power cannot be developed because of this.”

"And you see, the neighboring countries, such as the Tianqi Kingdom, they encourage business and agriculture, and their economic development is much better than ours. Even in the past few years, there is a trend of surpassing ours."

Mu Chuqian spoke in a clear and orderly manner. It didn't seem like he was speaking impromptuly, but rather like a speech that had been prepared long ago.

The emperor nodded while listening. He let Mu Chuqian continue to speak, took the tea handed over by the queen in his hand, and took a sip lightly.

Mu Chuqian nodded, and continued: "Father, if we raise the status of merchants, allow aristocratic families to do business, and encourage poor people to start small businesses, I believe that the living conditions of many people will be improved. Those who do not have land Those who own land will have more opportunities to earn money to support their families, and those who have land will improve their quality of life because of the convenience of trade."

When Mu Chucong heard Mu Chuqian's eloquence, he stepped forward and stood with Mu Chuqian.

Mu Chucong bent down, bowed his hands and saluted, and said agreeingly: "Father, my son agrees with the second brother's idea very much. In addition, my son believes that we can improve the status of merchants in Yunqi Kingdom, which is surrounded by the sea in the east. Even better. For example, to carry out shipping and trade with other countries on the sea, this is our advantage over Tianqi Nation.”

Mu Chucong agreed with Mu Chuqian, which surprised the emperor.

There is only one emperor, and the two have always been at odds with each other. This is a tacit fact of everyone.

The two had a good relationship when they were young, but since the death of the second prince's mother, the relationship between the two brothers has deteriorated, and they often clashed over various trivial matters.

Unexpectedly, in terms of developing national power, the two can join hands and work together, regardless of past suspicions.

"Your Majesty, my concubine shouldn't interfere in state affairs, but seeing that the eldest prince and the second prince have a very good relationship, the two of them work together to provide suggestions for the development of our Yunqi country, and my concubine is very happy." The queen saw the emperor's face. There was a moving look, and he patiently persuaded him.

"So please forgive the two of them for their inappropriate remarks. After all, they both have a good original intention." The queen looked at the emperor tenderly and continued.

"Queen, you are worrying too much." The emperor couldn't be serious about the queen.

"You two stop singing together." The emperor rolled his eyes at the two of them, and drank a big mouthful of tea.

He put down the teacup and signaled the eunuch to replace it with a new one.

"No matter how reasonable the two of you are, it is useless to me." The emperor turned his head away and focused on the queen.

Seeing this scene, Mu Chuqian and Mu Chucong were very disappointed, especially Mu Chucong, who had the word "lost" written all over his face.Mu Chuqian still had an iceberg face, standing upright by the side.

"Empress, your birthday is coming. I see that you like Princess Yangshuo so much. Why don't you let Princess Yangshuo open the Imperial City Roast Duck Restaurant in your name. Also, don't be too happy, little one, you have I have to be busy, not only do I need to present the imperial city roast duck to the empress every two days, but I also need to send it to the concubines, especially the empress dowager." The emperor said with a smile, and glanced at Zeng Xiaoxiao.

After the emperor finished speaking, Zeng Xiaoxiao reacted for a while.

She always felt that happiness came too suddenly.

"Back to the emperor, Xiaoxiao will definitely do it well." After Zeng Xiaoxiao replied, he was still in a daze: "Happiness came too suddenly, so this is justified? Then, won't I be named by the royal family in the future? It's hard to say It’s hotter than modern roast duck restaurants!”

The more Zeng Xiaoxiao thought about it, the happier he became, and he clenched his fists excitedly.Seeing his daughter's appearance, Zeng Kaizhi quickly pulled her aside in order to prevent her from acting out of line due to agitation.

"General Chu, don't leave later, I have something to do with you." The emperor looked at Chu Jianguo who seemed to have been ignored for a long time, and said coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chu Jianguo didn't dare to say any more.

"You two, help Xiaoxiao open the Huangcheng Roast Duck Restaurant, and if someone makes trouble again, you will inevitably be responsible." The emperor looked at Mu Chucong and Mu Chuqian who were silent at the side, and ordered.

Mu Chuqian quickly understood what the emperor meant.

I saw him knelt down and said respectfully: "I wish my mother a happy birthday, a thousand years ago."

When Mu Chucong saw it, he also knelt down and said in agreement.

"The two of you are no better than I was back then. You know everything." The emperor sighed and continued, "Improving the status of businessmen is difficult to achieve overnight. It must be done step by step. Even if I issue a decree, it will be difficult to change everyone's thinking." Concept. It is better to take the lead in business in the name of the queen, let the common people see the attitude of the royal family, think that the royal family is sincere to change their concept, and can also drive the aristocratic family to do business. Only in this way can the monarch and the people work together to get twice the result with half the effort."

When Zeng Xiaoxiao heard the emperor's words, she admired him from the bottom of her heart, "It is precisely because of the emperor's wisdom that even though the Yunqi Kingdom emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, and its national strength is not as strong as the surrounding powers, they still dare not invade."

 Guess who the second girl is?
