When the queen was teaching the prince, Miaoyu was arranging flowers in her princess mansion.Today, she uses rough pottery, which was scoured from a peddler's load on the streets of West Market, and on the Baibao Pavilion behind her, the top-grade porcelain made in the house and pottery scoured by folks are just casually placed.

No one dared to disturb Miaoyu when she was arranging flowers, except the four giants in the palace and their envoys.

Miaoyu doesn't know what the queen taught the prince, but she knows the queen's ability and trusts the queen.

In this world, it seems that men outside are useless one by one, but Miaoyu knows better than anyone that this is not the fault of the empress, nor the fault of the emperor. If there is a reason, it is caused by the emperor. Wave after wave of factional struggles, regardless of whether the ministers have dissenting ideas or not, as long as he is in the way, he will be eliminated, and he will even sit on the seat. In the end, a large number of talented ministers were purged, so that the upper echelons of the capital's power circle appeared. A situation in which women are strong and men are weak.

No way, politics is so cruel.

It's a pity that this method seems to maintain the imperial power, but it is actually consuming the vitality of the country, especially when the overseas barbarians are watching.

It’s not that Miaoyu said that glass is not produced in the east in the world of Red Mansions, and transparent glass is a fragile product from the far west.

Miaoyu couldn't figure it out, didn't the Supreme Emperor realize it?Even such fragile things as glass mirrors can be transported to the Far East intact by Westerners, which shows how advanced their navigation technology is. God knows if they will transport a huge army next time!

Miaoyu's heart was in a state of confusion, which was directly reflected in the flower arrangement in front of her.

Her heart is in a mess, and her flower arrangements are not like those before, with a silent rhythm of each flower, leaf and branch, let alone Zen.

For the first time, Miaoyu demolished her almost completed work, and then invited the maids to clean it up.

Shi Zhuowenxiu, the head of the princess's mansion, rushed over, saluted as soon as he entered the door, and said: "His Royal Highness, the King of Beijing has lifted the confinement today."

Because of the population tax, Miaoyu's princess mansion has been upgraded, and it is now at the level of the prince's mansion.

"Oh? But the emperor's grandfather pardoned him?"

"His Royal Highness, it has nothing to do with the Supreme Emperor. It was the King of Beijing who submitted a letter of blood, saying that the Zhen family forced the marriage back then. Long live the King of Beijing is also a golden branch and jade leaf, so..."

Miaoyu understood in seconds.

Probably this is also one of the hidden clues of this dungeon. If the king of Beijing Jing is not forced to the point of seizing the title, such a branch line will not come out.

However, Miaoyu has reservations about King Jing's forced marriage.

To say that the King of Beijing is a golden branch and jade leaf actually implies that the current King of Beijing is of royal blood.Since it is of royal blood, how could the Zhen family force the marriage?In the end, it was just that King Beijing married Princess Beijing because of need in the past, but now he doesn't need it, so he directly killed his wife, and then jumped out crying to win the sympathy of the world.

"Forget it, let's not talk about them. What's going on in Shandong?"

Although the rabbit fur textile workshops in the Gyeonggi area are booming, Miaoyu knows very well that what she does is just a drop in the bucket for the whole country, and it is not worth anything at all.

It is not enough for Gyeonggi to be stable and rich.What she has to do now is to expand southward.The first step is to expand her economic influence to the vast area east of the Taihang Mountains and north of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains—that is, the entire North China.

The female officer obviously hesitated.

"Development is not going well?"

"I am ashamed."

"What's the reason? Is it because the locals are lazy, or are the officials behind the scenes, or is it because the people are too poor?"

When she said this, Miao Yu kept staring at Zhuo Wenxiu, seeing him suddenly lowered her head, she knew the reason.

"Zhuo Changshi, in your opinion, why are the people in Shandong poor?"

Shandong is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. Even if the Yellow River takes the Huaihe River into the sea, Shandong is a large agricultural province with excellent climate and soil structure. Such a province has a fundamental status in this farming-dominated dynasty. Needless to say!

Shandong thieves have existed since ancient times, and many dynasties have said that Shandong is safe and the world is determined.

Zhuo Wenxiu pondered for a moment, raised his head, and replied: "His Royal Highness, Shandong is poor, not because the land is barren. The first reason for Shandong's poverty is that the land is fertile and the harvest is abundant year after year, which leads to low grain prices that hurt farmers; the second is that the per capita tax is too high. , and thirdly, because of Yanshenggong Mansion."

In the last sentence, Zhuo Wenxiu's voice was full of guilt.As a scholar, if he pointed his finger at Yanshenggong Mansion directly, he would feel ungrateful, and if he was not careful, he would be accused by thousands of people—even though Yanshenggong Mansion has been really ineffective for a hundred years.

"Yanshenggong Mansion?"

Miaoyu's cold voice made Zhuo Wenxiu couldn't help but tremble.

"Forget it, they are nothing more than big landlords with titles. Zhuo Changshi, in your opinion, how about buying grain from the people of Shandong at a fair price?"

Zhuo Wenxiu quickly replied: "His Royal Highness, I believe that it is not appropriate for the Princess Mansion to directly intervene in this matter. It is better to act with a caravan and the Princess Mansion supervises from the side, so as to achieve the actual effect. The trouble is nothing more than merchants scrambling to buy food, and it is easy to deal with the aftermath. It's just..."

"how?"

"I'm afraid it will cost a lot."

Zhuo Wenxiu is a pragmatic official. He knows very well that when the weather in Shandong Province is favorable and there are no major disasters, the grain output can reach a maximum of about [-] tons, and the average year is about [-] tons.No matter how cheap the price of food is, it would cost tens of millions of taels of silver.

It's not that he said that it is unrealistic to use the method of purchasing grain to raise the price of grain in Shandong too much.Even if he used the leverage principle he learned from Miaoyu, it would cost 4000 to [-] million silver as a base, and he would have to fight against luxury merchants from Shanxi, Shanxi, Huizhou, and even tide merchants from afar.

"That's all you thought of?"

"I am ashamed."

"That's all, you go back and think about it carefully. What I want is to rule the world."

"Yes, minister, I will take my leave."

After Zhuo Wenxiu left, Miaoyu was silent for a long time, then suddenly heaved a long sigh and said, "It's better to let the people in the world get rich first."

The author has something to say: I made a mistake earlier, I made a small revision about the Wang family in Beijing, and made a special explanation.
