Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 339; Change of mentality

You have food in your hands, don't panic.

Moreover, after this disaster relief, it would have taken several years to recover in the past, but because of the corn and potatoes, as long as the famine did not continue in the second year.

As long as you plant it, you will get more or less harvest. Because the yield per mu is huge, even if it will be reduced a lot due to the land, it will still be far enough for the consumption of the local people.

According to the policy of the Yu Dynasty, wherever there is a famine, the tax revenue in the coming year will be reduced.

As long as it remains stable for a year or two, with the support of corn and potatoes, the local area can recover quickly and the people can eat food.

Similarly, due to the increase in food, the food and drink problems of the soldiers on the borders of the Yu Dynasty have also stabilized.

But he didn't expect that in previous years, Emperor Zhaowu would have a terrible headache when it came time to deliver supplies to the border.

Now that there is food, disaster relief and other expenses can be easily spent. There is no need to spend too much to deal with post-disaster problems. The national treasury is getting richer year by year.

Today's Emperor Zhaowu has not worried about money for several years, and the country is improving in all aspects.

At the same time, with the addition of commercial tax, national tax revenue has nearly doubled in the past two years compared to before.

In the past, the Yu Dynasty's annual silver income was only 500 to 6 million yuan. This did not include food, but was purely financial income.

But what now? Just take the data provided by the Ministry of Household Affairs at the end of last year, which has reached more than 9.7 million yuan, and the food tax has tripled.

Last year alone, more than 9 million yuan was obtained. The situation this year is currently very good, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to break 10 million yuan.

In just a few years, the country has improved so much. If it continues to develop stably like this, won't the prosperous age be coming soon?

"The Yu Dynasty is so lucky."

After wandering around the capital for a while, Emperor Zhaowu asked the coachman to go directly out of the city to the hot spring villa.

On the way to the hot spring villa today, there were also people coming and going. There were also many people ordering food for the day in the capital, and there was an endless stream of people running errands to help deliver.

Therefore, there were actually two or three more tea stalls in the relatively empty areas on both sides of this road.

When their carriage passed by, there were still many people sitting and drinking tea at these tea stalls.

"I didn't expect that just a service station could improve the lives of so many people and provide convenience to many people."

"This is what Yaoyao always said to make money flow."

Huo Jingzhi now has a deep understanding of what his daughter meant when she often said that money should flow.

This benefit is really visible to the naked eye.

Think about this army of beggars and errands. In the past, it was a problem for them to have enough to eat every day. What about now?
Not only can they eat well, but they can also use money to spend money at these tea stalls. Although the cost is not much, it is also a small income for these tea stall owners.

In this way, the money was put to good use. After changing hands several times, the people got what they needed, their lives were much better, and the country could also get some commercial tax revenue from it.

But it's much better than throwing the money in the warehouse or burying it underground.

"Princess Zhaode is a great talent, and she really sees things clearly. We, the court ministers, have not discovered such a simple truth for so many years. We are really ashamed."

When Fang Qiao said this, he was also quite emotional.

He has clearly seen the benefits of this decision to make money flow, and he admires it endlessly. "It's not your fault, I underestimated business."

"Some time ago, Wen Ruo studied with Zhao De, and Zhao De asked him to study business with Fang Zhilan. To tell you the truth, when I first heard about it, I was very dissatisfied."

"But after Wen Ruo shared his half-month study experience, I found that I was a bit wrong."

"The prejudice of businessmen from ancient times is indeed bad."

"We are not just simple scholars, but also managers of a country. In the past, we were really narrow-minded in thinking about many things."

During the recent period, whenever Prince Wenruo went to the Hot Spring Villa to study, Huo Junyao would directly ask him to follow Fang Zhilan to learn about business.

This stuff can't be learned in ten days and a half, so it takes a long time, which makes Huo Junyao feel a lot more relaxed.

Prince Wenruo was also very serious every time, and naturally learned a lot. When gathering government officials, he drew inferences from one example. During this period, Emperor Zhaowu was greatly surprised by Prince Wenruo's knowledge and some novel ideas.

Even Emperor Zhaowu benefited a lot from it.

I also deeply understood that in the past, he was indeed not a very qualified emperor, and many of his thoughts were too scholarly.

As he said just now, they are not only scholars, but also managers of a country. Many things should be viewed with a broader perspective, rather than following the psychology of scholars.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, are these discharged? Aren’t you just scholars?
Being brainwashed by this concept for a long time, they unconsciously regarded businessmen as the lowest, but with the emergence of Huo Junyao, they slowly developed. This businessman plays a great role in a country.

It is also an indispensable and important part of a country.

"Indeed, Princess Zhaode learned a good lesson from me this time."

Fang Qiao also sighed.

Huo Jingzhi next to him was full of pride. His daughter was so capable and so proud of him.

The carriage quickly arrived at the Hot Spring Villa, and this time they went directly to where Huo Junyao lived.

Huo Junyao, who received the report from the servant, was quite surprised and quickly walked outside to greet him.

"Zhaode, you have done me a big favor again. How about it? What do you want? Tell me."

As soon as he saw Huo Junyao, Emperor Zhaowu smiled and waved his hand so that she didn't have to salute.

Hearing this, Huo Junyao was stunned and asked in a daze, "My daughter, you haven't done anything recently? When did you help the emperor?"

In her opinion, she just wanted to make use of the newly developed places and did some business. It seemed that she had always been busy with her own affairs. When did she help the emperor?
Seeing her like this, Huo Jingzhi smiled, and Fang Qiao beside him also laughed.

"The princess doesn't know something, but you have really done the court a great favor."

Several people followed Huo Junyao into the courtyard, and Fang Qiao also briefly explained the matter.

Huo Junyao finally understood, and immediately said with a smile: "I didn't think much about this at the time. I just felt that it was really difficult to find people, so I thought of beggars. There are quite a lot of this group, and they give some money. It’s very convenient to let them help with the work. I didn’t expect to be able to help the court.”

"Your Majesty, why are you here today?"

Her brain reacted very quickly. As soon as Fang Qiao mentioned what was going on, she immediately guessed Emperor Zhaowu's intention.
