Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

  Chapter 1889 Medical Hall

   Tang Dongfeng's rational analysis.

  Ye Muyu shook his head lightly: "I'm not going to use it to make money."

   "Huh? Ma'am, do you want to lower the price of medicinal materials like lowering the price of cloth?" Tang Dongfeng is not a fool. Hearing Ye Muyu say this, he immediately understood what she meant.

   I was a little moved for a while.

  But I still said honestly: "Madam, your idea is good, but medicinal materials are generally controlled by a few people, and these aristocratic families may not be willing to see the price of medicines drop."

   "The matter of the loom was ordered by the imperial court, so it was spread throughout Dachu. The price of cloth has also become cheaper, and it is indeed developing in a good direction."

   "But medicinal materials..."

   "I know what you mean." Ye Muyu looked at him with a smile and said, "Treasurer Tang, you said that the cheap fabrics appearing in various places are because of the imperial court's order, or what?"

   "Ma'am, what do you mean, in fact, the promotion of looms so quickly is not only due to the imperial court, but also the competition among various shops?" Tang Dongfeng did not refute Ye Muyu's words.

  It was only after he traveled far away that he realized that most of the economy is in the hands of the aristocratic family.

  Of course, it doesn't mean that other small families can't get along.

   It can only be said that if there are one hundred taels of silver, then only five or six taels are in the hands of small households.

   Having taken over ninety taels of aristocratic family, naturally they look down on such petty profits, so they let it develop.

"Shopkeeper Tang, I know what you want to say. You are right. The reason why these shops began to have cheap coarse cloth and cotton cloth is because of the promotion of looms. Ordinary farmers can buy looms. Do it yourself, where else do you need to buy it?"

   "You can even sell these cloths to shops."

   "This batch of cheap cloth, the small clothing shops that want to survive are the first to sell it."

   "Other big shops, even if they don't see this benefit, they won't turn them away. With the control of the imperial court, they will even actively cooperate."

   "Although local control is not strict, there will not be too much difference. No family dares to raise prices blatantly. Isn't this giving evidence and being ransacked?"

   "You must know that this is Emperor Xuanming's Great Chu." Ye Muyu put down the teacup and smiled at him with satisfaction.

   Tang Dongfeng's eyes lit up: "I understand what Ma'am means."

   "It's because I think too much, that's right, no matter how bold they are, they won't control the prices of all stores. On the contrary, if they choose to back down, the market will gradually adapt."

   "As long as the emperor is not stupid, then this situation will get better. It cannot be controlled by a family's ability, unless it is a time of war."

  Tang Dongfeng let go of his originally worried heart. Speaking of it, it was also because of the persecution of the aristocratic family that he had a shadow in his heart, and he felt a lot of resentment towards those aristocratic families.

  But Ye Muyu's words reminded him that a court will not be easily controlled by a family, and even the people who seem to have no power invisibly and can be bullied at will are the cornerstone of the entire court.

  Water can also carry a boat and cover a state.

  If a large area causes public dissatisfaction, it is definitely not something that a family can control.

   "So, don't worry, our strength seems small, what if we can grow into a giant stone one day?" Ye Muyu never underestimated every strength.
