Shen Qingci wanted to make Jing Ci realize the reality. He himself was not in the right position. Moreover, he made an extremely angry start by violating the tradition of orderly succession and directly relying on "illegal means" to seize the throne.
Since the King of Beidi can take advantage of others, why can't others?
Therefore, it is reasonable for Qin Feng to bring Jing Qianying back to seize the throne.
If Jing Ci is still stuck in the glory of the past, then she will never be able to face a new future, and will only be swept into the garbage heap of history like decaying dust.
Shen Qingci looked at Jing Ci and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want the people of Beidi to live a good life?"
Jing Ci looked up indifferently and looked at the eldest lady of the Qin family whom he met for the first time. Although he was a princess and she was just a commoner, Jing Ci already understood in her heart that she was as innocent as a girl in front of Shen Qingci.
And this is the woman of the Qin family...
After a long time, Jing Ci nodded: "I think..."
Shen Qingci did not hesitate and said straightforwardly: "In this case, you should stride towards the future instead of guarding this decadent empire that is about to collapse and feel sad for the spring and the autumn."
"As long as you are willing to work hard, you will shine in the new dynasty and truly bring benefits to the people."
Hearing this, Jing Ci had vaguely understood Shen Qingci's deep meaning and asked softly: "You... want me to assist Jing Qianying? No... Jing Yushu?"
Shen Qingci smiled and nodded: "Whether it's Jing Qianying or Jing Yushu, what's the difference? She is not only the fourth young lady of my Qin family, but also Feng'er's future wife."
"With this relationship, Beidi and Daliang will truly usher in peace."
"When Jing Qianying succeeds to the throne, Feng'er will definitely assist Jing Qianying with all his strength to repair this country that is riddled with holes. By then, the people will no longer have to worry about war and struggle for food and clothing."
"If you don't believe it, you can go to Beixi County yourself and see that under Feng'er's governance, the people will live a prosperous life. It is by no means empty talk."
As a princess, Jing Ci is naturally much better informed than ordinary people.
She has long heard how wealthy Beixi County is. Not to mention businessmen, even the most ordinary people can earn ten taels of silver a year, which is almost ten times the annual income of people in other areas.
The most amazing thing is that Beixi County has become a hub port for commerce and transportation. A large amount of goods are transported to Beixi County, which directly leads to very low prices in Beixi County.
In addition, the northern territory of Liang State is vast and there is a buffer zone in Sangzhou, so a large number of people can devote themselves to agricultural production. In addition, Qin Feng implements policies such as "group household registration" and "public land contracting". This allows the people to have food and clothing without worries even if they are farming.
This also directly leads to the fact that in Beixi County, one tael of silver can be spent as two taels of silver, further increasing the people's wealth.
All the revenue from the county government is used to build various facilities and enrich the people.
Beixi County alone can support the entire winter war, which is enough to show how wealthy Beixi County is!
The people of Beidi, not to mention the affluent life of Shangbeixi County, even if it is only one-third of the level of Beixi County, it is enough for Beidi to become a leading power, and the national power will be unprecedentedly improved.
Jing Ci couldn't help but start to long for that wonderful future in her mind. If she could make the people live a good life, what would it mean if she herself suffered a little injustice?
Jing Ci took a deep breath, looked at Shen Qingci, and asked softly: "Qin Feng...will he really help us rebuild Dadi?"
Shen Qingci couldn't help but chuckle: "Your Highness Princess, Feng'er is not only the king of a place, but also a businessman. Only when the world is peaceful can he make money."
"From a purely profit perspective, is it more useful to Feng'er to be a Beidi that is in ruins and miserable, or is it more useful to Feng'er to be a Beidi that is prosperous and people have spare money in their hands?"
Jing Ci was thoughtful, recalling the trade routes that Qin Feng had laid in the royal capital. Although all of them had been shelved due to the winter war, Jing Ci vaguely realized that Qin Feng's intention was not just to see For now, it’s about planning for the long term.
The trade routes have been put on hold and all commerce has come to a standstill. On the surface, it seems to be because of the Winter War. But in fact, even without this war, the mountains are covered with heavy snow and the weather is freezing. Caravans cannot trade back and forth at all, and the trade routes will still be shut down. That’s it.
As long as Qin Feng takes Beidi and Jing Qianying takes charge, these seemingly abandoned trade routes will be immediately reactivated, and a better business environment will emerge than originally planned.
No matter what Qin Feng does, it will never be meaningless.
Take Changshui County, which has become a "fortress".
After Jing Qianying succeeds to the throne, this county can not only serve as the front gate of Gyeonggi and consolidate Jing Qianying's imperial power, but also serve as a material transfer station to transport goods to the royal capital.
But there was one thing that Jing Ci couldn't figure out: "Since Qin Feng is bound to win, why do we need to issue Beixi County household registration to the local people?"
Shen Qingci smiled slightly and said wisely: "Your Royal Highness, you live in the palace and are pampered. You don't understand the world, but I can understand it."
"Even if Jing Qianying becomes the king of a country in the future, the people of Changshui County will not be able to wash away the charges of traitors. Therefore, only by moving them to Beixi County can they live a normal life without being discriminated against by anyone."
Hearing this, Jing Ci couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in surprise: "Is it because of this reason that Qin Feng relocated all the people in the county regardless of the cost?"
The reason why Jing Ci was so surprised was that relocating the people would consume a lot of money. No one in the world would relocate the entire county for such a "trivial" reason.
It can be seen that Qin Feng, as the initiator of the war, actually thought more about the people.
Thinking from another perspective, this war can also be described as "long-term pain is worse than short-term pain". As long as this last war leads to long-term peace, it will be worth it.
Jing Ci took a deep breath and asked the last question: "Why choose me?"
"There are obviously many princesses and princes in the palace, why is it me?"
The corners of Shen Qingci's mouth raised slightly: "People are doing it, and God is watching. What is the use of those pampered princesses and princes? And you, running around for the sake of the people, are all seen by Feng'er."
"You are someone who truly cares about the people."
