Playing intrigue is worse than engaging in infrastructure

Only a few days after the opening of the bank, Song Qingyuan ushered in repeated inquiries.

Song Qingyuan already knew that Lian Ti would come over. After all, almost all the things he did before were related to industry and manufacturing, and seldom had anything to do with finance.

To put it bluntly, since Song Qingyuan came to Mobei, he has always been positioned as a practical talent, and he doesn't care much about profit sharing.

This time, for the first time, he took the initiative to get involved in matters related to money, and it was a bank for depositing and withdrawing money that no one had ever heard of.It is inevitable that he will even ask a few questions.

In view of the "good character" that Lian Ti had to know the principles when making alcohol before, Song Qingyuan wrote down the operation method of the bank early this time.

As soon as he mentions it, he can pass this direct paper to the other party, so as not to be questioned by him.

But this time, Song Qingyuan made a wrong estimate.

It has been more than ten minutes since Lian Ti sat in Song Qingyuan's hall, but he didn't mention a word about the bank, but was very curious about how he humiliated those dozen people in the street.

When this incident happened, Lian Ti happened to be away from the court, and missed the opportunity to observe the scene.He didn't know the specific situation on the street that day until he came back and listened to the description of the Jin Wuwei present.

In Lian Ti's impression, Song Qingyuan had almost never been so aggressive.Even when the two met for the first time, Song Qingyuan saw that he was extremely unpleasant, but he just made a few insinuating words, and did not do anything else.

Although people around him said that His Highness was so angry because of protecting the little ladies in the workshop, Lian Ti's intuition believed that it was more than that.

"Your Highness should have many ways to deal with them, why did you choose this one?"

Lian Ti looked straight at Song Qingyuan, not wanting to miss any tiny expression on his face.

But what surprised Lian Ti was that Song Qingyuan had no intention of concealing or evading, but shook the teacup in his hand and asked, "I wonder if Your Highness is familiar with the conditions of the ladies' homes in the workshop?"

Lian Ti shook his head, he only knew that some of the women in the workshop were recruited last winter, and they first worked in the oil workshop.

At that time, the people around told Song Qingyuan that the soldiers in the army could also do these jobs, and there was no need to spend extra money to hire people.But Song Qingyuan rejected the proposal of these people and insisted on recruiting many women.

After the woolen mill was built, these women went to work there, and people stopped asking.

Seeing Lian Ti shaking his head, Song Qingyuan continued to ask: "Those ladies recruited at the beginning, no matter whether they were weaving or spinning, learned faster than the ladies who came to the workshop later. Does the King know why?"

Lian Ti seemed to have thought of something, and instead of shaking his head, he said in a low voice, "Your Highness, please clarify."

"Because the women who were recruited at the beginning were almost all widows who lost their husbands and family members. Their livelihoods were difficult, and the workshop was one of the few places where they could earn a living by themselves. That's why they cherished this opportunity very much. Study hard, for fear of being driven away by the manager."

Song Qingyuan's voice was imperceptibly low.Without waiting for Lian Ti to respond, he continued:

"I heard from the steward that after turning off the lights at night, many women still spun thread and poked felt in the dark, and their fingers were often injured. Later, I asked the steward to promise them that they would never be driven away. , and after it was stipulated that no work is allowed after the lights are turned off, this situation disappeared.”

After hearing Song Qingyuan's explanation, Lian Ti froze in a daze.

He always thinks that since he succeeded to the throne, everything he has done is worthy of his identity, and he even feels that he is better than his father and any monarch.

But he didn't expect that there was such a huge group of people suffering endless poverty and suffering in a place that he didn't notice, but he didn't know anything about it.

This kind of truth made him a little at a loss for a while.

Lian Ti's left hand unconsciously grasped the edge of the table, and let it go helplessly.He looked at Song Qingyuan and asked subconsciously, "Your Highness, did this king do something wrong?"

Song Qingyuan knew why he asked this question.Lian Ti has always hoped that he can make people's lives better.

After he came to the throne, he didn't even repair his own palace, but he was extraordinarily generous in the pensions paid to the families of soldiers who died in battle every year.

He will inevitably have the limitations of people of this era, but at the same time, he is also a young, courageous and resourceful king.

Compared with the development of people's livelihood, it is obvious that Lianti is more suitable for expanding the territory.If there is no such an existence as Song Qingyuan who is almost cheating, the method of continuous mention is the most suitable for Mobei now.

Song Qingyuan shook his head slowly, with a firm tone, "No, Your Majesty has already done a good job."

Lian Ti was silent for a long time.He thought about what Song Qingyuan did after he came to Mobei.In just one year, the living standards of the people in Mobei have visibly improved a lot.At least there will be no more cases of exposing corpses in the wilderness due to lack of food and clothing.

He lowered his head and laughed, "Compared to Your Highness, this king is far behind."

Song Qingyuan thought to himself, how can one person compare with the wisdom accumulated by the Chinese people for thousands of years.

He shook his head lightly, "Man is never omnipotent, so why should the king be so self-deprecating?"

Just like how he is still bad at riding and archery after learning for so many years, a person can never get on a horse and sweep the world, open up territories, and get off his horse to govern the country, help the world and the people, you will take all the good things, right?

Lian Ti looked away from Song Qingyuan, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I'm not being selfish, but I just feel that if I leave His Highness, neither Mobei nor myself will know what to do."

Song Qingyuan feels that even mentioning the current appearance has an indescribable feeling, as if some kind of large dog hangs its head in front of you, in short... a little bit, it is cute.

He paused, and mentioned his state of mind in front of outsiders for the first time.As he was not the original owner of this body, neither Yan Yun nor Nan Zhou had deep feelings for them.

On the contrary, every plant and tree in Mobei, people and scenery left a deep imprint on his heart.

He didn't care too much about this strange world, but this palace that he lived in for less than a year gave him a strange sense of belonging.

Maybe it's the ever-changing white snow on the snow-capped mountains, maybe it's the blue sky that makes people open-minded when they see it, maybe it's the "respectful" personality of the Mobei people that Zhenrulian mentioned.

Song Qingyuan couldn't figure out the reason, but what he was sure of was that he was willing to stay in Mobei.

After getting Song Qingyuan's promise, he nodded lightly, his hair hanging down just blocked Song Qingyuan's gaze from looking at him.

So in a place he couldn't see, Lian Ti's eyes lit up instantly, as if the pitiful depression just now was just an illusion.

Lian Ti's self-doubt was true, but Song Qingyuan guessed wrong on one point.

The person opposite was not some obedient big canine, but a wolf with its fangs put away. It was just a scheming to keep the other person in front of the person who valued it.

It was already past afternoon when Lianti was sent away, Song Qingyuan went back to the dormitory to rest for a while, and when he came out, he saw the seventh prince He Liantai who had been waiting for an unknown amount of time in the front hall.

"Why did you come here?" Song Qingyuan was a little puzzled.

A few days ago, I sent He Liantai to study in the government office in Xincheng.According to Dan Renji, He Liantai was very diligent in doing things, he would not complain when he did some errands, and he got along well with the officials in the government office.

Seeing Song Qingyuan, He Liantai first saluted respectfully, and then said: "I heard about what happened in the market a few days ago, so I wanted to see the teacher."

"It's nothing serious." Song Qingyuan replied indifferently.

He Liantai nodded, and asked again: "It's just that I heard that the teacher also opened a bank for ladies to deposit and withdraw money."

Song Qingyuan gave a "hmm" and asked casually while pouring tea, "What do you think about this matter?"

Ever since He Liantai paid his apprenticeship ceremony to Song Qingyuan, Song Qingyuan would ask the other party's opinion on some recent events from time to time.

Therefore, after listening to Song Qingyuan's question, He Liantai pondered for a moment and then replied: "The students think that doing this will solve the problem the fastest, but it won't last long."

"Then how do you think it will last for a long time?" Song Qingyuan glanced at him with the tea cup in his hand.

He Liantai looked at him cautiously, "Perhaps... we should start with the women's household registration."

Song Qingyuan glanced at him approvingly, but he didn't expect this kid's political acumen to be quite good.

He continued to ask: "Then how do you think you should set up a household registration?"

He Liantai was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I think if you open a household for a woman alone, there will definitely be countless people who object."

This is quite true, as it has never happened before to set up a household exclusively for women, and it will indeed cause a lot of controversy.

"Then what do you think should be done?" Song Qingyuan smiled.

"Students don't know." He Liantai shook his head honestly.

"I don't intend to reach the end in one step. The most likely thing is to let those divorced or widowed women be able to open their own households." Song Qingyuan said.

As for how to realize it, it's very simple. Mr. Lu Xun's point of view on opening windows is just right here.

"But they won't agree to that either." He Liantai said with a frown.

When he was in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he knew how stubborn those courtiers were. Even if some women set up separate households, they would be opposed by people.

Song Qingyuan could use his own deterrence to force them to agree, but this would undoubtedly damage his reputation.

But Song Qingyuan didn't seem to be worried at all. He looked at Heliantai with a smile, pointed to a wall behind him and asked, "If I want to open a window here, what do you think everyone will think?"

Weren't we still discussing household registration just now?Why did you mention windows all of a sudden.

But since Song Qingyuan asked, He Liantai looked at the wall and began to think.

Behind this wall is the inner hall. If a window is opened here, wouldn't everyone sitting here be able to see the inner hall.

He said hesitantly: "This is not very good..."

"Then what if I want to tear down the roof here?" Song Qingyuan looked at the roof.

He Liantai glanced at him, and then imagined the scene in the living room of the dignified Third Highness Yanyun, where he could look up and see the clouds, and said with an expression of indignation: "Then let's open a window on the wall."

"Do you understand now?" Song Qingyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party.

It was only then that He Liantai realized that what His Highness meant was that if he first proposed to allow those divorced or widowed women to open their own households, everyone would definitely oppose it.

But if he first made the ministers think that he wanted all women to open their own households, and then proposed to only open households for divorced and widowed women, the voice of opposition would be much smaller.

He Liantai, who suddenly realized, opened his eyes wide and looked at the other party with reverence on his face, which made Song Qingyuan feel a little sorry.

But when he went to mention the matter to Lian Ti the next day, the accident still happened.

He first told the other party that he wanted to allow Wang Ting and the women in the new city to set up separate households, but he did not expect to get Lian Ti's consent immediately.

"But it's up to His Highness to decide." Lian Ti said.

Song Qingyuan was speechless: "What if the courtiers object?"

Even mentioning it as a matter of course, "I dare not object after a beating."

Song Qingyuan subconsciously took a breath.His lips opened and closed, and he was stunned for a moment, unable to think of any words to respond.

Do you know that you look like a standard foolish king now?Song Qingyuan looked at the other party helplessly.

In the end, Song Qingyuan had no choice but to repeat to Lianti the theory of "open the window first and remove the roof" that he said to Heliantai yesterday.
