Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

How to attract more talents and how to attract more labor force is what Ning Fan wants to think about now. In addition, Ning Fan also wants to use the power of culture to let the people in surrounding countries go. Learn the language of Dakang and accept the culture of Dakang.

As the saying goes, using troops to attack the enemy, defeating the enemy without fighting, and using soft power to conquer the Huns was what Ning Fan had in mind.

Ning Fan just wrote this, and Er Gou stood aside and watched, becoming a little obsessed because the plot was so attractive that even Er Gou was attracted wholeheartedly.

It wasn't until dawn that Ning Fan yawned and dropped his pen, then told Ergou that he didn't have to attend the morning session today and that he was going to catch up on his sleep.

Ergou had long been accustomed to Ning Fan's willful behavior. Zhou Qun was responsible for the important affairs of the court, and Ning Fan only needed to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

"Then your Majesty, please go to bed first. I will ask Mr. Zhou to come back in the afternoon."

Ergou is already familiar with the process.

As long as Ning Fan doesn't go to court, Zhou Qun will definitely go to the palace and tell Ning Fan face to face about some things that have happened recently and the decision-making of some major events. Zhou Qun is very good at this aspect. Although he has the He has power, but he is never arbitrary. He will always ask Ning Fan for instructions no matter how big or small he is.

Even if there are some things that Ning Fan is not familiar with or understands, Zhou Qun will explain the matter in detail, and then give his own suggestions, and then hand over the decision-making power to Ning Fan.

Zhou Qun is neither greedy nor in love with power. In Ning Fan's eyes, he is almost a perfect prime minister.

With such a prime minister helping Ning Fan handle government affairs, Ning Fan can be freed from it and use all his energy and energy on his own hobbies and ideas.

Ning Fan got up when it was time to eat at noon. After having lunch, he started writing and drawing on paper again. It was only two hours after lunch that Zhou Qun arrived belatedly.

"Your Majesty, Princess Lolis of the Dabo Kingdom, after returning from the Dabo Kingdom this time, she brought back many merchants and a lot of goods. At the same time, the contract signed before has also come into effect, and a large number of goods have begun to be sent to Dabo. country, and at the same time, funds from Dabo Country have also been put in place.”

The first thing Zhou Qun reported to Ning Fan was the matter about Dabo Country.

At this moment, Ning Fan couldn't help but see the exotic Princess Lolis in front of his eyes. Although there was already a Xina beside him, Ning Fan still couldn't forget about this Princess Lolis.

"Now that the money has arrived, we must find a way to spend it as soon as possible. If you don't spend the money in your hands, it will be a piece of waste paper. You must find a way to use the money to its maximum effect."

After listening to Zhou Qun's words, Ning Fan had a smile on his face. When doing business with someone, receiving a deposit first is the happiest thing.

"In fact, I think that after making so much money this time, I am actually unprofitable. Most of the money was made by those businessmen."

After Zhou Qun thought for a while, he said bluntly.

When Ning Fan heard what Zhou Qun said, he put down the pen in his hand, touched his chin and said playfully: "In business, there are profits and losses. What's more, we sold so many goods at one time, how can we not make money?"

"All we earn is some coolie money, as well as our mineral resources. Of course, these things can be exchanged for money if sold, but if you don't use them, our children and grandchildren can use them in the future."

Zhou Qun said with some distress.

Hearing what Zhou Qun said, Ning Fan couldn't help but smile: "Our current situation is that we are waiting for rice to be put into the pot. To develop and operate, a large amount of expenditure is indispensable. At this time, Princess Lolis is willing to do it with us." Business, if you are willing to help us sell goods, we should all burn the incense."

"Also, you must not think that our Dakang trade is in a resource-exporting state. I will let you know in a moment how profitable we are in making money."

Ning Fan chuckled.

Zhou Qun, on the other hand, was a little confused by Ning Fan's words. He didn't know where Ning Fan's so-called huge profits came from.

"Have you ever heard of a luminous wine cup? How much is a luminous cup worth?"

Ning Fan smiled lightly.

"It is said to be worth thousands of gold. I have only seen it once. It is indeed radiant and transparent."

Zhou Qun recalled the appearance of the luminous cup, and couldn't help but show surprise and envy on his face. Even a person like him who is very indifferent to material things still liked the luminous cup very much when he mentioned it.

"Then let me tell you, we in Dakang will soon have a new technology that can produce such things in large quantities that are comparable to crystals, and the cost of materials is extremely low."

Ning Fan laughed and said to Zhou Qun.

Zhou Qun's eyes widened and he stared at Ning Fan in disbelief. If such transparent crystal products could be mass-produced, I am afraid that a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry would be continuously transported to Dakang.

"I can tell you a piece of news first, that is, this kind of thing is called glass. It is also a transparent and flawless thing, no different from crystal, and the production cost is extremely low. I have thoroughly studied the technology and can mass-produce it immediately. , after Shen Mengxi comes over in the afternoon, I will hand over the specific techniques to him."

Ning Fan doesn't want to be secretive anymore. In fact, many secrets don't need to be kept in front of Zhou Qun. After all, Zhou Qun is the prime minister of the entire Dakang. If Zhou Qun can't be trusted, then there will be no trustworthy people around Ning Fan.

"If that's the case, then I suggest that this kind of thing should not be mass-produced first. Things are more expensive when they are rare. Once something with extremely low production costs is circulated on the market, the price will soon be completely lowered."

Zhou Qun thought for a while and then gave a suggestion, that is, he suggested that Ning Fan continue to take the high-end route.

"Haha, you and I have the same idea, but this kind of glass products will be popularized sooner or later, because in the future era of industrialization, this kind of glassware will also play a great role."

Ning Fan agreed very much with Zhou Qun's proposal, but he only agreed with part of it, that is, the popularization of glass would be a matter of time, but at the beginning, it was natural to take the high-end route and make a lot of money from those foreign businessmen. .

Thinking of doing business with foreign businessmen, Ning Fan had to think of Zhang Jian. Zhang Jian had been away for so many days without even a single message, which made Ning Fan worried.

Ning Fan's biggest dream has always been to build ships and go to sea and trade with other countries around the world. However, due to the obstacles of shipbuilding technology, Ning Fan's dream has never been realized.

However, there is one thing that Ning Fan is looking forward to, and that is lathe technology. If lathe technology is conquered, then manufacturing technology will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Ning Fan believes that with the explosion of manufacturing technology, shipbuilding technology will also achieve breakthroughs in a short period of time in the future. Perhaps there is no need to obtain shipbuilding technology from outside, and Dakang's internal shipbuilding technology will develop rapidly.
