Chapter 1475 The Four Volumes 151 The Emperor's Scheme (8 More)
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "That's right. In order to encourage them to give out money and build pavilions along the way, the Lord even ordered them to add salt to attract them~"

A sly look flashed across the emperor's face.With such light eyebrows and eyes, he doesn't look like a 40-year-old emperor, but a teenager.

Wanxi couldn't help staring.

But the slyness disappeared in a flash, so quickly that one suspected that he was dazzled, or took the reflection of the sky and water as such slyness.

Wanxi couldn't help squinting, "The emperor... did it on purpose?"

The emperor shrugged, "The decree issued by the Lord himself was not intentional, could it be accidental?"

Wanxi lowered her head, "But isn't the emperor worried that the courtiers and the world will be heated up because of this?"

How many Manchu ministers think that the emperor does not need to go to the south of the Yangtze River, and how many Han ministers think that the emperor's southern tour is wasteful.The emperor's southern tour this time was actually driven under heavy pressure.

The emperor shook Wanxi's hand and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Of course I know. You are the Son of Heaven. Every time you issue an edict, some people from the previous court and the world will always agree and some will object. This world belongs to you, and you know in your heart that you want to do it." What and what to do is enough, there is no need to explain to them, you have to ask for their consent one by one!"

The emperor took a deep breath, "This world belongs to me, and this south of the Yangtze River is my land of talents, money and food. I must come here just for the great mountains and rivers, and for the outstanding people."

"No matter who stops you or who says anything, I will come!"
.
Wanxi raised her eyes and stared at the emperor.

The 40-year-old emperor looked up at the sky and the earth at this moment, his face full of rays of light.

"...But why did you encourage the salt merchants to donate money?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows lightly, and pointed to the colorful buildings on the bank, "You have also seen what Yangzhou has become before Ye Nan came to visit; therefore, if the salt merchants are willing to donate money because of Ye , Dredging the river, building colorful buildings, that is the blessing of Yangzhou!"

"Besides, in order to dredge the river and build colorful buildings, they have to recruit migrant workers. How many people can be supported by this!"

"My father came to Yangzhou, but he left within three or two days; but the dredged river, the built pavilions, and the bustling business in Yangzhou town due to the pick-up... are all reserved for the local Yangzhou, leaving For the people of Yangzhou."

"I can't take away the prosperity of Yangzhou; the local people will always benefit in the end."

The emperor blinked, "Look, after Master De leaves Yangzhou, the appearance of Yangzhou will definitely change a lot. It will never be the desolation and depression we have walked along the way."
.
Wanxi's heart was also pounding.

It turned out that although the emperor issued an order when driving, the government of the places he passed was forbidden to spend extravagantly on the car, but he did not prohibit the salt merchants from spending money...it was for this.

The emperor took a deep breath. It was almost March, and the south of the Yangtze River was already facing the spring breeze.

He hooked his lips and chuckled, "Salt merchants are rich. No matter how rich they are, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are as rich as a country!"

"Salt is the lifeblood of the world. The imperial court needs these salt merchants. They have brains, skills, and courage to become salt merchants and expand their own business. Therefore, the imperial court cannot do without them, and the north-south turnover of the salt industry needs them; but I also can't understand how they accumulate wealth, but they only eat and don't eat like a wild animal!"

"That's why during this southern tour, the Lord ordered them to donate money, build pavilions, recruit people's husbands... spit out their enemy's money and give it to the people for a good time!"

Wanxi nodded and smiled in relief.

That's right, the emperor himself exempted 300 million silver from the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.This world belongs to the emperor, but not the emperor alone. The emperor spared 300 million silver, and the salt merchants should also do their part.

　It is said that the southern tour was extravagant. In fact, in the 16th year of Qianlong, the household treasury actually had more than 3249 million taels of silver; What about ~~
