The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 205 Old Fox (Part [-])
How noble is the princess regent, how can ordinary people see it, not to mention that the princess regent has done a lot of good things for the people wholeheartedly. I heard that after two years of sweet potato spread, Leng Anguo will not starve to death again people.

That is simply the savior of the world. It is a good person for any common people to mention the Princess Regent without admiration.

If the princess regent goes out in modest clothes and accidentally bumps into the corner of the clothes of the common people on the road, if the common people find out, they have to go home and give up their clothes. It was the clothes touched by the princess regent.

Now that the princess regent's dessert shop is open, can the people in the city not be excited?Maybe the table in the store was sat by the Princess Regent, and the cup was touched by the Princess Regent. Maybe it is a great honor to be able to eat food made by the princess herself.

So much so that on the opening day of the Panda Dessert Shop, not only was the attic on the fifth floor full of seats, but the people queuing up turned several corners along the street. queue.

Just like other shops, if you come and tell which house you want, someone will deliver it right away, which is impossible in Panda Dessert Shop.

Seeing the young men in the store busy up and down letting customers order and deliver them, and the girls in the back kitchen were even more busy going around. They have never been idle since the opening, which really made Su Tang feel a little regretful. If the price is set higher, the capital is worthy of being a gathering place for rich people.

In Yanyang City, one tael of silver per catty is considered expensive, but here, five taels of silver per catty are eaten by so many people.

Some customers who finished eating packed some food to take home before leaving. After going out, they gave thumbs up to those who were queuing, saying that the food inside was not only affordable but also delicious, which made those queuing people stick their heads into it. Look.

"It would be an honor for me to sit where the Princess Regent sits and eat." Some chatted while waiting.

"I heard that the interior decoration is very good. The cabinets and water glasses are made of expensive glass. We have never seen some ingredients. They are very delicious, and I don't know how to make them."

"Can the shop opened by the Princess Regent be so bad? Who dares to look down on us businessmen in the future? Even the princess quit the prince to start a business."

"That's it."

They didn't see Su Tang when they went in, but they were lucky enough to see Princess Nine who came to cheer, Ji Siyuan from Tiansheng Commercial Company, and some noble children. Su Tang greeted them and left silently through the back door of the dessert shop.

The shops here are opened, the porcelain factory is running in an orderly manner under the leadership of Yasu, the paper factory has been taken over by the imperial court, and she doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Things here are almost busy, it's time to go to the palace to find His Majesty bid farewell and returned to Yanyang City.

When the attendants went in to announce, Su Tang walked in, and heard the prime minister's voice.

"Your Majesty, the victims in the south have been resettled temporarily, but judging from the situation there, it will hardly rain in the past two months. If there is no rain, they will miss the planting of late rice, and there will be no grain harvest this autumn.

If they are kept until next spring when the crops are harvested, the national treasury will definitely not be able to bear it. If the drought lasts longer, there is no way out. "

"Then move them out of the disaster area and send them to live elsewhere first." His Majesty said after thinking for a while.

"Relocating disaster victims consumes manpower and material resources, and building houses and dividing land is also a large expenditure. The main reason is that it is difficult to find a place to accommodate more than [-] people." The prime minister replied.

The territory of Leng'an is not small, but there are already people living in the land near the river with good farmland. It is not easy to vacate a place for more than [-] people to live in. They can't be thrown on the mountain without food, drink, or land. ?

It is even more inappropriate for those disaster victims to move to the city. Most of them are farming people. Throwing them in the city not only disrupts order, but also has no handicraft life.

Besides, there is no city that can accommodate so many people. If they are arranged separately in different places, if there is any disease in it, the whole Leng'an country will fall.

The common people would not die of starvation if they had relief food, but the flying insects and beasts over there died a lot. Who knows if there will be any disease infection, this made the prime minister very embarrassed, and came to His Majesty to discuss countermeasures.

"Father, why not move these victims to Yanyang City." Su Tang walked in and said respectfully.

Su Tang made up his mind when he heard it just now, the territory of Yanyang City is not small, the people who have been tossed by the bandits all these years ran away and died, there are not many people left.

What is most lacking now is labor force, labor force is productivity, and productivity is wealth. This wave of disaster victims who have no place for the imperial court just solved the population problem of Yanyang City.

"Can Yanyang City accommodate so many victims?" His Majesty asked.

"It can be tolerated, but these victims went to Yanyang City and they are the people there. Even if it rains in the south, I will not return them." Su Tang laughed.

The prime minister smiled slightly when Su Tang said, "The princess regent should know about the state of the treasury. The court can't do much to deal with the disaster victims' housing and other issues. These disaster victims may have to work hard for the princess regent for a while."

Su Tang scolded the old fox secretly in her heart. The prime minister must have known about the national debt she told His Majesty, but they didn't want to borrow money and then repay it themselves. They knew that Su Tang was doing business over there to grow sweet potatoes, so he must have money. For food, let Su Tang find a way by himself, and the court can save a lot of money.

"The Prime Minister only needs to ensure that the victims have food on the way to Yanyang City, and they can walk there alive. When they arrive at Yanyang City, the border ministers will be responsible for arranging their future lives." Su Tang replied, and she didn't intend to care about these things.

The recent taxes collected by Yanyang City, together with the fact that Su Tang asked Liu Zhonglin to collect a batch of grain before he came to the capital just in case, add up to 20 shi. Some time ago, Su Tang asked Jun Shiyi to buy it around the capital. He paid [-] taels of grain for grain.

In total, there are nearly 30 shi of grain, which is enough to feed 10 people for three months.

She has the 16 taels of silver earned by Jingtuan, plus the income of Fufeng Commercial Bank in the past few months, and she still has savings in her hand. Even if the money is not enough to spend, wouldn't she be able to kill another wave of bandits?They saved a lot of money in their old nest.

"In that case, it's Yi Yongle's." The emperor said with a smile.

"Yes, Father, I'm here to bid farewell, and I'm planning to go back to Yanyang City in a few days." Su Tang replied.

"Are you leaving so soon?" His Majesty was quite reluctant, "In that case, Yongle, can you tell Gu about the steam engine?"

"Ah?" Su Tang didn't keep up with His Majesty's brain twist for a while.

What Su Tang didn't know was that after the nonsense she said to His Majesty last time, His Majesty turned around and asked the people in the mechanical library to make steel according to Su Tang's description. The point is that it was really refined two days ago.
