Zhao Feng originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, because after all, it was Jin Baoyuan's housework. As the saying goes, it's difficult for an upright official to deal with housework, so Zhao Feng didn't want to get involved in this muddy water.
But now he sees Ginny kneeling in front of him, crying and begging him to help her. If he doesn't help her, I'm afraid Ginny really has nothing to do.
"Are you sure everything you said is true?"
Ginny nodded vigorously and raised four fingers.
"I swear to God, if you tell a lie, God will beat me..."
Zhao Feng quickly covered Ginny's mouth. People in this era attach great importance to oaths, so it must be true.
Unexpectedly, Ginny has been living under the control of her father for so many years. It is probably because there is really no other way this time, so she can't bear it anymore.
Zhao Feng let go of Ginny's mouth, then nodded and said.
"I think of a place that's perfect for you."
"Are you still willing to learn that knowledge?"
When Ginny heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded hurriedly.
In fact, he did not reject that knowledge, and she even liked that knowledge very much. What she rejected was that her father treated her as a pawn and asked her to come to Zhao Feng to secretly learn the business.
Zhao Feng smiled slightly. Since Ginny has a studious heart, he can also help her appropriately. After all, what he lacks most now is talents.
So Zhao Feng walked directly to the desk, picked up a brush and wrote a letter.
Finally, Zhao Feng stamped his seal again, put the letter in the envelope, and said to Ginny.
"Take this letter and go to Qingshui County near the capital. There is an academy there. You can find out after a little inquiry. With this letter, you can enter the academy to study. All that knowledge can be learned in the academy. From middle school to high school!”
Hearing this, Ginny was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
"Really? Is there really a school where you can learn this knowledge?"
Zhao Feng smiled and nodded. He was the dean of that college. It was not difficult at all to write a letter of recommendation to let a transfer student in.
"Of course, but this academy has exams every year. If you fail the exam or make any mistakes during it, I can't protect you."
Ginny nodded vigorously. She just needed a place to hide now. It would be great if she could learn this knowledge.
"Mr. Zhao, without further ado, I'll leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if my father reacts, I may not be able to leave!"
Zhao Feng smiled and nodded, waved his hand to Ginny and said.
"Wait until I return to the capital to see how you are studying."
Ginny happily nodded in agreement, then left the Princess Mansion happily with the letter of recommendation, directly hired a carriage and headed to the capital.
After Ginny left, Zhou Tong and the others walked in with some confusion.
"Mr. Zhao, wasn't that Miss Jin just now? Why is he so happy?"
Zhao Feng smiled slightly, waved his hand and said.
"I recommended her to study at the academy. There happened to be some girls in the academy, so she wasn't an outlier in the past."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong was immediately startled and quickly lowered his voice.
"Mr. Zhao, she is Shopkeeper Jin's daughter. If you send her away, aren't you afraid that Shopkeeper Jin will cut off our cooperation?"
Zhao Feng shook his head slightly. Now that his businesses have reached Jiangnan, Jin Baoyuan cannot stop them even if he wants to.
"Don't worry, I have my own plan for this matter."
Zhou Tong heard that the material was good, so she didn't say much. After all, Zhao Feng was the smartest person she had ever met. If Zhao Feng couldn't solve it, then she would be even less able to solve it.
After Zhou Tong left, Zhao Feng sat on the chair and couldn't help but think.
Unexpectedly, this matter was actually sent by Jin Baoyuan. He originally thought that Jin Baoyuan sent his daughter here because he really wanted to learn those businesses.
But now it seems that he is dishonest!
However, Jin Baoyuan is not the root cause, it is Feng Shen who is behind it. If Feng Shen is not dealt with, with Feng Shen's power as prime minister, others will definitely come to deal with him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel a headache. He had already left the court, and he no longer asked about the affairs in the court. Why were the four major families always holding on to him?
I just want to develop my business here honestly, and I have not offended anyone from the four major families at all!
Zhao Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that the principle of good people being deceived was applicable everywhere.
If this is the case, then there is no need for him to make excuses with the four major families. Anyway, with his current economic strength, if he wants to sanction the four major families, he does not need to use court methods at all!
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhao Feng's lips.
Soon, Zhao Feng walked out and directly found Zhou Tong, Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu.
"Your Highness, the economic foundation here has developed, but have you ever thought about why we produce so many things, but rarely sell them to further places?"
After hearing this, Zhou Tong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then touched his chin and said.
"It should be that the transaction is inconvenient. After all, it takes a long distance to transport it from here to other places, and people in other places simply don't have that much money to buy our things."
"We all need money to buy these things, but most other people are still at the level of exchanging food for things."
Zhao Feng nodded slightly, this was the root of the Zhou Dynasty.
You know, except for them, people in other places simply don't have that much work to do, and they don't have much money either.
Therefore, these people can only rely on what they are best at, which is farming, growing food, and then using the food to exchange for things necessary for life.
Even when the officials collect taxes, they first collect the grain, then sell it to the market according to the prevailing grain price, convert it into silver, and send it to the capital.
Sometimes the grain collected by some local officials is still converted into broken silver, so it needs to be re-cast, and there will also be fire consumption during the casting process. This is the source of corruption among many officials.
And if they want to sell these things to other places, the people there will have to sell the food they have first and then buy it from him in exchange for money.
In this way, these people will suffer some losses when they exchange food for money.
