I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 208 Wiping your butt with paper will become a fashion!
Guo Yi was very bold and said a lot of rebellious words, commenting on the current world.

And what he said, Xianggong Pei is naturally very clear, even clearer than him.Also know the cause of the problem, and better understand where the root is.

In just half a year, the price of food has risen to sky-high prices.It's not that the imperial court doesn't want to take care of it, but it can't do it at all.

In a word, nothing can be done.

The reason is simple, the interests are connected.There are many court officials who are directly or indirectly receiving the bonus of high food prices.

Seeing his silent expression, Guo Yi couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked very straightforwardly: "You know the reason, right? In your opinion, is there a solution?"

solve?

How to deal with it?

Break their interest link?
However, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.This is a never-ending hatred.

Guo Yi's words are right, they are used to being well-clothed and well-fed, and they are used to crowding in groups. If they are allowed to live in poverty again, it will be harder than killing them!
In life, there is only wealth and wealth, how can there be troubles?

Seeing that he asked so straightforwardly, Pei Xidao suddenly turned to look at him, and asked curiously, "Can Erlang respond?"

The boy in front of him is better than a monkey when he glues his hair on.Since there is such a question, there must be a solution.For better or worse.

"Haha!" Guo Yi didn't answer, but said: "Since the failure of the 'Xin'an Reform', the overall environment of our Great Zhou Dynasty has become worse and worse, tax revenues have skyrocketed, and food prices have skyrocketed.

But relatively, the income of the people has not increased.This in turn leads to making ends meet and making life more and more difficult.

If nothing else, the current situation will continue.

Even in the future, whether it is the boss or the fifth, will this situation change? "

will not!

Absolutely not!

Pei Xidao knew very well that neither the First Prince nor the Fifth Prince would be a supporter of the 'Xin'an Reform'. Just from the interest groups behind them, one can get a glimpse of one or two.

But Guo Yi suddenly asked this at this time, what was the meaning?

Does he also want to intervene?
King of Chu!

At this thought, he was startled suddenly, his eyes widened instantly, you, you, how dare you?
Smart man!Guo Yi couldn't help sighing, seeing his expression, he knew what he was thinking of, so he smiled brightly, and said anticlimactically: "There is no interest group behind him!"

The King of Chu is a bare prince...

No one is behind him...

But now there is, Guo Erlang.

Guo Erlang, who played with most of the scholars on Jinghu North Road; Guo Erlang, who assisted the King of Chu to survive the drought;
"What does Erlang mean?"

"Let's make an agreement, five years, give me five years, let you see Jiangling in five years, and Jinghu in five years!"

What he said was nonsensical again.But he understood that Mr. Pei naturally knew what it meant.

If there were no accidents, it would take less than five years for Pei Xidao to become a prime minister, work with the Zhongshu sect, and take charge of the entire Zhongshu Province.

Guo Yi didn't force it, and he didn't have a reason to force it. He just wanted a chance.

"it is good!"

Pei Xidao answered firmly.

From what he saw and felt along the way, it wouldn't hurt to give him a chance.Besides, he didn't want to continue like this.

Have to change!
Seeing that he agreed, Guo Yi couldn't help smiling brightly, stretched out his hand and pulled the rope tied with a bell, indicating that the food should be served.

The dishes are very complete, a large table full of beautiful things in eyes, braised pork, braised pork ribs, braised carp, braised pork with preserved vegetables...

But no matter whether Pei Xidao or Pei Ruyu, they both taste the same, and some thoughts are not eating.

Even Guo Yi couldn't eat, he didn't know if his step was right.

Originally, he and the King of Chu knew about the matter, but now there are three people, and they are still a future prime minister.

This step by myself is indeed a little risky.If he makes a mistake, if Pei Xianggong has other ideas, he and the king of Chu will fall into the abyss.

After all, no matter which new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he will not let a huge threat wander away.

However, the opportunity was right in front of him, and Guo Yi had to take a gamble.

Besides, he helped the king of Chu ascend the throne, which was a gamble.Regardless of winning or losing, it is not in vain to go through this experience.

After the meal, before drinking tea to digest the food, he got up at the urging of Pei Xidao and rushed to Huangzhuang in the southwest of the city.

Zhu Zi drove the mule cart, carrying the four of them out of the west gate.

Before they arrived, they saw the mule cart team lined up outside the door from a distance.There were seventy or eighty mule carts lined up in a long line, all of which were filled with sun-dried reeds.

In the south of the Yangtze River, the most indispensable thing is lakes and ponds, as well as accompanying reeds.

In the past, this thing was used to weave mats and straw sandals.But now, like hemp silk, it is unsalable.

The direct manifestation of soaring food is the decline in the purchasing power of the people.Everything has to make way for food.

Guo Yi smiled and pointed, and said: "Look, this butt wipe is not useless! It can stimulate domestic demand in a disguised form and stimulate the consumption of the rich.

It can also bring people income other than fields, and increase people's ability to resist risks! "

Isn't it stimulating the consumption of the rich? The poor use dirt, and whoever burns too much money will wipe their ass with paper?
Can't dirt be wiped clean?

But Xianggong Pei dismissed it, and said with contempt: "How much do you sell for your butt wipes?"

"Ho!"

"Butt wipes are worthless, but they won't last much longer! After the reed paper workshop in Huangzhuang is completed, the production will increase again, and the butt wipes will be sold all over the country.

At that time, wiping your butt with paper will become a popular fashion.

And, not only wipe your butt with paper, it can also be used to wipe your mouth and hands after eating.And Wangjing Tower and Yanyu Tower are leading this fashion.

After a while, there will be other luxuries! "

Wangjing Tower and Yanyu Tower, as the landmark buildings of Jiangling Mansion, are now famous not only on Jinghu North Road, but almost the whole world.

Because, the four eternal absolutes hanging outside the building have baffled scholars all over the world.

There is no one who can link up and down.

With fame, their every move will naturally be noticed by the outside world, and what it uses will surely become popular.

Invisible celebrity endorsement.

While the two were talking, the mule cart entered Huangzhuang.

The Pei family father and son were all shocked by the parts scattered all over the yard.The parts of two hydraulic looms paved the entire yard.

This yard is not small, at least it has to be as big as a football field.

But now, it is full of scattered parts.If it weren't for the expansion of Huangzhuang, there would be no place to put the reeds.

"These are the parts of the hydraulic loom?" Pei Xianggong couldn't believe it. With so many parts, how big is the whole thing?
