However, this is only the first step of Tang Yu's plan. He knows that war preparation requires a lot of money.
Whether in modern times or ancient times, war is always the most expensive.
As the saying goes, once the gun goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold!
If we want to make Datang strong and prosperous, it is far from enough to stimulate domestic demand.
Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in Tang Yu's eyes and he said: "Old Xu, the task of building the commercial street is left to you. In addition, you also need to prepare some lard for me. The more the better! "
"It's best to purchase it from all the cities in Datang. Each pound of lard can be exchanged for one tael of silver. The greater the quantity, the more silver taels you can exchange for."
As soon as these words came out, both Xu Shize and Qi Lufu were confused.
"Your Majesty, what do we need so much lard for?" Qilufuhu asked.
You must know that in ancient times, resources were limited and very backward. Most people could not eat meat and fish on daily basis. Delicacies such as chicken, duck, fish, etc. were only available to some powerful people.
Lard became the only meaty food for the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Not to mention a pound of lard, a few taels of lard in an ordinary family is considered very good.
At this moment, even Xu Shize was full of curiosity and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was in Tang Yu's wine gourd.
In his eyes, exchanging a pound of lard for one tael of silver is not a worthwhile deal at all. One tael of silver is enough for ordinary people to live for a month.
Could it be that Tang Yu planned to use this method to let the people of the Tang Dynasty live a good life?
Xu Shize glanced at Tang Yu meaningfully and thought that this possibility was unlikely. Even if Tang Yu loved his people like a son, he would not be able to engage in such a loss-making business.
Once the news spread, countless people came to exchange lard for silver. I am afraid that the Tang treasury would be emptied out in less than a month.
"Yeah, you're so good, what do you want lard for?"
Xu Shize and Qi Lufu looked at each other, feeling that Tang Yu seemed to be planning something again. Hearing this, a mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Tang Yu's mouth, and he said: "As I said before, there are three types of people in the world who make the best money. One is the money for men to enjoy themselves, and the other is the money for women to love beauty!"
"I have carefully calculated that the commercial street operation model alone cannot make Datang prosperous in a short period of time."
"So, I plan to make a big one!"
Tang Yu looked at the two of them with a half-smile.
Do something big?
Just when Xu Shize and the two were scratching their heads, a beautiful figure appeared in the back garden.
"His Majesty."
Queen Ning Wan'er appeared in front of Tang Yu.
The moment they saw Ning Wan'er, Xu Shize and Qi Lufu bent down and said, "I pay my respects to the Queen!"
Now, Ning Wan'er has been named the Queen of the Tang Dynasty. In order to prevent what happened before, Tang Yu specially arranged for many experts to protect Ning Wan'er, Xiao Yushu and others.
Ning Wan'er came to Tang Yu's side in one step, and before she could speak, Tang Yu took her into his arms.
"Your Majesty, the prime ministers are still here..." Ning Wan'er's face instantly turned red with embarrassment. Although she was already the Empress of the Tang Dynasty and looked dignified and dignified on weekdays, she was still a little woman in front of Tang Yu.
Feeling the masculine aura exuding from Tang Yu, Ning Wan'er's eyes gradually became blurred, and water could even drip from her pretty face!
Ning Wan'er struggled slightly, and finally looked like she was letting you take your pick.
Ever since Tang Yu became the new queen of the Tang Dynasty, they haven't been intimate with each other for a long time. Especially for a woman like Ning Wan'er who loves her marrow and knows her taste, every day seems like a year!
However, Ning Wan'er is also very sensible and knows that Tang Yu is very busy with many things to do every day, and the only thing she can help Tang Yu with is to organize the harem.
"Wan'er, I've worked hard on you during this time."
