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

Chapter 275 Strange Behavior (Part [-])
This group of philanthropists mainly aimed at poverty alleviation, distributing sweet potato vines to those who are hungry. The expansion of sweet potato planting is faster than that of potatoes, which can only be planted with fruit cut into pieces.

And sweet potatoes can be harvested by burying the vines on the top of the vines in the soil, and when the next season is planted, these vines can be dug out and cut into chopstick-length strips, and then inserted into the soil to survive.

So when potatoes were still slowly spreading outward, sweet potatoes had been brought to many places and planted.

With these high-yielding sweet potatoes, the shortage of food after the drought and locust disaster in Leng'an has been greatly alleviated, and the people who cannot eat enough can also have enough food.

There are also some poor people who have no land or even displaced people. The people in charge of charity will also discuss with local officials to build simple houses for them and distribute some fields to them so that they can support themselves.

They bought a house and gave away land. The millions of taels that Su Tang asked them to bring with them were quickly spent. The main reason was that there were too many poor people in Leng'an due to the previous heavy taxes. The goal of filling the stomachs of the people also requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.

So the letters from various counties were passed into Su Tang's hands, and the questions asked were basically the same, the money was gone, whether to stop doing charity, or what to do, let Su Tang make up his mind.

The people finally saw hope, and they were all waiting to be rescued. They no longer have to worry about starving to death and freezing to death. Stopping charity at this time will inevitably make those people feel disappointed.

"Your Highness, even if Fufeng Commercial Bank can earn money now and sell houses, it can't stand such a toss. There are millions of people in the whole country, and our little money will be gone if we give each of them two taels. It’s impossible to save them all.”

At that time Liu Zhonglin looked at Su Tang's reluctance to give up, and he was still a little nervous. It is a good thing to help the people, but it has to be done within one's ability. Now the accountant has tens of millions of taels of silver, but it can't save the people of the whole country.

I saw Su Tang said with a smile, "Who said that we will use our silver? Those merchants hold [-]% of Leng Anguo's wealth in their hands, and they all sleep on their pillows. It's time for them to use it to make money." Good thing."

"How can they be as righteous as His Highness, let them take out the money for no reason, would they be happy?" Liu Zhonglin didn't understand Su Tang's meaning.

"It depends on what method to use." Su Tang blinked his eyes confidently, lowered his head and wrote a letter, and sent it to the capital. This matter needs the help of the court.

In fact, it is not difficult to say, if you want to make those shrewd profiteers pay, you just need to give them the fame and fortune they want.

The names of businesses or individuals who donate charitable funds will be announced on the royal bulletin board, and these businesses will be supported by the court.

In the future, the court procurement and government procurement will give priority to these donated businesses.

The annual procurement of the imperial government is not a small amount. It needs to be purchased as large as military food and iron, as small as rice, oil and salt. Anyway, it doesn't matter who buys it. It is better to buy those who do good things.

For businessmen, apart from making their business bigger, the most worthwhile celebration is being able to cooperate with officials. The merchants who are first selected by the government will have a good reputation.

When discussing business with others, you can confidently say that our family's business has been done by the government, can it be bad?If it's bad, can the government take a fancy to it?Just this sentence can be worth half a day's tongue, and at the same time, it adds a lot of credibility.

In addition, the advantage of doing business with officials is that the prices given by officials are fair, and there are no defaults and no bad debts. This is another reason why they like to cooperate with officials.

In this way, donating silver has allowed the merchants to gain both fame and benefits. Why not do it? For the imperial court, the same purchase is just a change of firm, and it has no effect. For Su Tang and the common people, they are It is a good thing for everyone to get more charity money.

After the emperor read the letter from Su Tang, he first laughed heartily. The people are the foundation of the Leng'an country, and helping the people is the cornerstone of stabilizing the country. He naturally cooperated with all his strength.

We must know that in these years, because of years of wars and in order to support the frontier army, we can only continue to increase taxes. The people have long complained, and bandits are everywhere. This has always been a headache for the emperor. If the people are not stable, the country is not stable.

Unexpectedly, his constant headache was easily solved by Su Tang's move. After the emperor was happy, he went up the next morning with a sullen face and scolded the princes and daughters.

Scolding them all will be intriguing and narrow-minded, and they can't do a single thing, and none of them can compare to Su Tang's half finger. This will make him feel at ease in the future. Who can hand over the throne to?Could it be that the entire Leng Anguo would not be able to choose a second suitable prince without Su Tang as his successor?
All the princes and princesses felt distressed, it was not because they were incompetent, it was because Su Tang's aura was too great, which made their achievements dim.

Having said that, with the money donated by these businessmen, things can be done easily, and the poverty alleviation work in various counties and counties is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The life of the common people is easier, and they are full of praise for Su Tang. If you walk in Leng'an country, from officials to businessmen, to common people, you can praise Su Tang for everything. Set up a merit card to commemorate.

After half a year of hard work, the charitable cause has begun to bear fruit. In addition to the opening of the shopping mall, the prestige value has begun to rise rapidly. I just don't know what is going on in Xizhao Country.

However, this prestige value is far from enough to treat the plague in Xizhao country. She can only start preparing for the treatment when Jun Shiyi has achieved results and the prestige value has increased a bit.

The system looked anxiously at Su Tang's increasing reputation, but he couldn't earn it, so he quickly discussed, "Why don't you think about it again? The installation fee is not expensive."

"System, have you heard of such a thing? I can buy things for 1 yuan, but I don't want to pay for postage of [-] yuan!"

"What kind of strange behavior is this, let me check!" The system surfed its network for a while, and after it came out, it became even more speechless.

"I really don't understand the thinking of your ancients in the 21st century. An item with free shipping for 90 yuan in online shopping is obviously the same as an item with 99 yuan plus postage of 100 yuan. Some people would rather buy [-] yuan with free shipping than I bought it for [-] yuan plus postage of [-] yuan, and it has been recognized by many people, which obviously costs [-] yuan, what’s the difference?”

"Of course there is a difference. I can spend money on things, but I don't want to spend money on postage!" Su Tang said confidently.
