Allure of a Country Maiden

Jing Hao also told Xiaoer about his plan to build several distinctive county towns.

Xiao'er thought it was good when she heard it, and said with a smile: "I can imagine how prosperous Zezhou will be in the future! It seems that I have to save some money quickly to buy land and a shop somewhere!"

"My sister is welcome to build a workshop at any time. With my sister's shop here, I believe I don't have to worry about the taxes of the entire Zezhou Prefecture! If my sister can build more workshops and open more shops there, and donate more A few roads and schools, then I can sit back and relax!" Jing Hao joked.

"I am a big customer and a big investor, please remember to give me more discounts!" Xiaoer nodded matter-of-factly.

"Definitely, definitely!" Jing Hao responded seriously.

Then both laughed.

After laughing, Xiaoer got down to business again: "We don't know much about ceramics. Brother Di has a ceramics workshop at home. You can ask him. Or hire some people to go to him and learn from his experience. Anyway, all workshops are needed to build them." In terms of time, during this period we are cultivating talents, and we can even ask Brother Di if he wants to work together."

Xiaoer has always provided design drawings to the Dishaowei family's ceramic factory. Now their ceramic products can be said to be the most advanced in the entire continent.

Branch workshops have been opened in several counties and towns in Minze State, and their exquisite vases, dishes, tea sets, floor tiles and other porcelain are sold at home and abroad.

As for whether the Zhongyong Hou Mansion was worried that they would send people to study and steal all their skills, Xiaoer was not worried at all.

Because the world is a big place, no industry can be dominated by one company!

There are many worlds, and one family only deals with people from an incomplete world!

And there can’t be only one ceramics factory in the market!

In every industry, as long as someone discovers that it can make a lot of money, more and more people will follow suit! Eventually the industry will become saturated.

Then there will be market competition and the survival of the fittest in the market.

If you do well, you will survive!

No matter people, workshops, or countries, they all have to work hard to make progress, because the world is dominated by the jungle! Whoever falls behind and has a miserable life must be that one!

Moreover, the most advanced technology of Zhongyonghoufu Ceramics Workshop was provided by Xiaoer. Although Xiaoer found the information from the space and told the method, and then the masters in the workshop understood it by themselves, but Zhongyonghoufu Ceramics Workshop can It's getting bigger and better, and Xiao'er has contributed a lot to it. How could they worry that Xiao'er would send people to study and steal all the technology.

"Okay, I will think carefully about how to do it." Jing Hao nodded.

"And you should have your own property, otherwise you won't be able to support your wife and children in the future." Xiaoer said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

No matter how big the cake was before Shengpinghou Mansion, it would not be enough to eat if there were too many people sharing it.

"I know. Over the years, I have also used my pocket money to buy several shops, open several studies and teahouses, and also opened an academy." People in Min Zeguo like to drink tea, and now the living standards of the people have improved. Nowadays, many people like to go to teahouses to drink tea and listen to stories in their spare time. In the past two years, the teahouse business has been getting better and better. It was these teahouses that made him realize that the demand for tea will definitely be greater in the future.

Not to mention the business of the study. People already have money to drink tea. Wouldn’t they think of leaving money for their children to go to school? Many academies are now expanding.

Now he is just running a college, and in the future he will open a college in every major city in the country.

Xiao'er, who runs the academy run by Jing Hao, knows this: "If you need any help, you can come to me."

"Okay!" Jing Hao was not polite. Growing up, he always asked Xiaoer about many things he didn't understand. Except for the eight-part essay Xiaoer doesn't understand and is unwilling to learn, Xiaoer can give good answers to many things in life.

Afterwards, Jing Hao discussed political affairs with Xiaoer.

Because Nangong Kingdom is a newly conquered territory, all the land can be said to belong to the imperial court. The imperial court will no longer sell land and fields there, and implement the policy of dividing fields to households.

Each household is divided according to its population and has paddy fields, dry land, homesteads and vegetable fields. There are mountainous areas in mountainous areas and bamboo gardens in plain areas.

These lands all belonged to the imperial court. The imperial court rented them to the common people and charged a small amount of rent every year. The rent was also the tax paid. This was decided by the emperor, and this policy attracted the people.

But there is a hidden worry, that is, the local people of Min Zeguo have been worried that they will become resentful after seeing the benefits of allocating land to households.

Therefore, the emperor is now thinking of ways to return all the land in the hands of landlords and many high officials to the court.

Jing Hao analyzed: "Now the price of food is falling every year. Every year after the autumn harvest, the price of food will drop another one or two cents per pound. If this continues, the land in the hands of the landlords will not be able to bring them the same benefits as before. To live a comfortable life, the money earned from the fields every year is not even comparable to the income of some small workshops, so they will sell the fields in their hands and then exchange them for cash to start other businesses."

Xiaoer: "Yes, the increase in grain production will inevitably lead to a drop in grain prices. The imperial court prohibits the sale of grain to other countries and can only sell it domestically. So much grain has been consumed there, and now some landowners are willing to use grain to feed poultry and livestock! "

Jing Hao: "You have to give it up even if you don't want to. Some people still have the old grain from three to five years ago and sell it at a low price. They can only feed poultry. It is better than wasting it! But now that the two countries are at war, the court has begun to purchase it. There is a surplus of food in the hands of the people."

…

After the two discussed the affairs of the court, they also discussed what happened after Jing Hao took office, such as how to appease the people and make the people of the court what they want.

"I think the first thing you should do after arriving in Zezhou is to rebuild a home for the homeless people. Home is a haven from the wind. With a home, people will feel at ease and have a stable heart.

"I've thought about this too, but I'm afraid the money appropriated from the treasury is not enough."

"The materials are provided by the imperial court. The size of the house is determined based on the family size, and the corresponding materials are provided. However, the people have to help each other to build the house. There is no labor, and food is not included." Xiaoer said as he took out the food. A stack of banknotes.

"This is five hundred thousand taels, take it and use it."

Seeing this, Jing Hao quickly declined: "How can I ask for my sister's money? This is a matter for the court!"

"Take it, aren't the affairs of the imperial court considered my family affairs? This money can be said to be contributed by the emperor! Don't feel bad!" Xiaoer said generously.

This is just taking it from the people and using it for the people!

It’s not that Xiaoer is very generous, it’s just that she cherishes such happy days. Part of such happy days is brought about by this noble status! She hopes that this kind of happiness can last, including her children, so she will naturally have to spend manpower and material resources to maintain this status!

"The Emperor's contribution? Miyue Wine?" Jing Hao suddenly thought of it.

Xiaoer smiled and nodded: "No."

Jing Hao became rude after hearing this. All the people in the world are the emperor's subjects. Isn't it right for the emperor to build houses for his people?

"The second thing to appease is the wealthy businessmen. The shops run by wealthy businessmen can bring taxes to the court and provide employment opportunities for the people. They are the foundation for the entire county to become rich. But now those wealthy businessmen may have escaped long ago." Xiaoer continued. Speak out your thoughts.

Jing Hao also expressed his opinions and plans.

The two discussed it like this for a day, and Jing Hao felt that he had learned a lot.
