Nanjing City, among the military camps.
After Yu Qian decided, he quickly found out that Li Xiao planned to ask for the toilet paper formula, and also asked the national master for his opinion.
"Hey, Yu Qian is here, come and have some tea."
Li Xiao smiled and invited Yu Qian in. "There are so many community leaders who have gone out. It's your Jiangning side that surprises me. Others are failing. Yu Qian, Yu Qian, do your best. My master is not wrong about you."
"Thank you, Imperial Master."
Yu Qian was a little flattered.
After sitting down, I began to report on some recent situations.
Li Xiao nodded and smiled: "This reform is indeed not easy. The resistance is even more difficult than in Peking. After all, everyone is prepared, and there are still people who are obstructing it. I can understand the difficulties you encounter. You are here today. Looking for help?"
Yu Qian cupped his hands and said: "Master Imperial Master, our plan is to build an industrial park in Xiaodong Village. Do you think this method is feasible? It will occupy a lot of cultivated land. It is also a helpless move. We seem to have formed a tacit understanding in Jiangning County, even if We are bidding, but we cannot buy land from the local people, so we plan to start from Xiaodong Village. The people here are relatively small, relatively poor, and there are no powerful families to get involved. Do you think it is okay??"
After speaking, Yu Qian handed his five projects to Li Xiao and said: "Now the entire land in Xiaodong Village has been bought by us. This is our plan for Xiaodong Village. We plan to have fifty people working hard to build it first. Come out and show the model village to the people of the whole county."
"Oh? You actually have this plan??"
Li Xiao was overjoyed. Sure enough, talent is talent. Even though he had never studied economic theory, he could unknowingly think of this and take action.
Get rich first, then get rich, and build a model village first.
The rest of the work will be easy.
Smart people don’t need to be taught much, they will figure it out on their own.
Yu Qian whispered: "National Master, is there anything wrong? If you think it's not possible, we will stop immediately."
Li Xiao laughed and said: "No, just do it! Yu Qian, who came up with this method?"
Yu Qian said modestly: "To be honest, I came up with it myself. This is also a helpless move. All villages cannot buy land, and only Xiaodong Village can operate it. We can only start from here."
Li Xiaodao: "Yes, you accidentally used the methods of our national masters. I did the same in Peiping back then. If you can think of an industrial park, it is better than our national masters, so... your industrial park Just start doing it, if it succeeds, it will be a demonstration to the people of the entire southern Zhili."
Yu Qian nodded, secretly happy in his heart.
Li Xiao continued: "However, I am a little confused. You bought the land in Xiaodong Village so quickly. Where did you get the funds?"
Yu Qian's face turned red and he whispered: "National Master, we have actually encountered difficulties, that is, the project documents submitted need to be approved before the money can be released, which undoubtedly made the progress slower. Helpless, Yu Qian used There are some shortcuts. Imperial Master, it’s better that you don’t know about them.”
[After all, the Imperial Preceptor strictly prohibits gambling. As an official of the imperial court, if I know the law and break the law, I will be punished with an additional penalty. I hope the Imperial Preceptor will not delve into this matter. It is all for the sake of the national policy of the imperial court. The Imperial Preceptor should understand.]
"Let my master guess."
As he spoke, Li Xiao had already used his telepathy to see Yu Qian's mental activities.
Li Xiao picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then smiled and said: "Yu Qian, did you earn money from gambling?"
Yu Qian broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the Imperial Master. I beg the Imperial Master to punish me."
Li Xiao waved his hand: "That's it, it's just this once, don't do it again. Since the spread of grain seeds in Peiping, the city of Nanjing is now richer than before. On both sides of the Qinhuai River, extravagance has become common and there are piles of gambling houses. The rest of the national divisions are not We will pursue this gamble, but our division will deal with it immediately and get rid of it all."
When Yu Qian saw that the Imperial Master did not blame him, he stood up and agreed: "Yes, gambling has caused so many families to lose their fortunes and scatter their wives and families. It must be aborted."
Li Xiao smiled slightly: "Yu Qian, you came here today because you want to ask my master for the formula of toilet paper, right?"
Yu Qian was even more surprised. The Imperial Master was really discerning and could see through his intentions with just a piece of paper.
Yu Qian bowed and said: "National Master, if you want this model village to do well, it must have a particularly good project, a landmark project that will make money. Nowadays, the toilet paper used by wealthy people in Nanjing is shipped from Peking. Yes, the price is high. If we can set up a factory in Nanjing, we can bring down the price of toilet paper."
"Okay, my national division has agreed. I support it."
Li Xiao smiled slightly and agreed without hesitation, saying: "I will ask someone to give you the craftsmanship of the toilet paper workshop. In addition, I will ask a master from Peiping to provide you with technical support."
"Really?" Yu Qian was overjoyed.
"Can what my master said be true?"
Li Xiaohan smiled and said: "Not only the formula of toilet paper, in order to prevent you from losing money, I will have people send masters for the other four items."
Yu Qian bowed: "Thank you, Imperial Master!"
Li Xiao smiled slightly: "It's a small matter, but my national division has given you the greatest support, so you can't slack off. Yu Qian, do you still remember your mission?"
"Always in my heart."
Yu Qian smiled bitterly and said: "It seems to be very difficult to move all the villagers in Tangjia Village down the mountain. Xianguan went to Tangjia Village. The entire mountain belongs to Mr. Tang. I am afraid that all the land in Tangjia Village will be annexed." Seven or eighty-eight, there are more than tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and most of the villagers have become tenants. There are not many villages with land. This is the first time that Xianguan has seen such a ruthless merger. Mr. Tang is not a simple man. I can’t even get into that mountain, and I haven’t come up with any solution yet.”
"I have checked this point. The Tangjiacun generation is indeed a place where annexation is more severe. This seems to be related to the relocation of the capital. After leaving the emperor, these people are a little unscrupulous. This was the Yongle period. As time moved, the entire Tangjia Village It is possible that all the land in the village belongs to the Tang family alone."
Li Xiaodao: "This is why our master wants to change the rules of the land. If we can't change it now, who can do it in the future?"
Yu Qian said with admiration: "Master, what I admire most about you is that you are the only one in the world who can accomplish this great thing. In history, the person who dared to do this was called Wang Mang. Unfortunately, he is Because it touched the interests of too many people, it ended in failure. This is also the reason why Yu Qian was willing to follow you, the Imperial Master, to come to Nanjing. Alas, it was only after I came that I realized that this matter is too difficult. To be honest, I didn’t even have the confidence to complete the Imperial Examination. This is what I have told you."
Li Xiaodao: "Don't be anxious, just do the things in front of you, and wait until you make the industrial park so impressive that it attracts tenants from all over the county, and then you can make plans. In addition, Tangjiacun can be attacked from the inside. Let me tell you something." The name is Tang Tianbao. This person is the eldest son of the Tang family, but he seems to have failed when competing for the title of head of the family. You can start with this person."
"Tang Tianbao" Yu Qian nodded: "Then let me give it a try."
Li Xiao nodded: "Well, let's give it a try. Originally, our master wanted to ask this person to talk to him. He has the intention to serve as an official. However, this person is a little timid. After hearing that our master wanted to meet him in person, he immediately fell into the trap. If you escape, you can contact him first and see what he thinks."
Yu Qian cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Okay, Yu Qian, do you have anything else to do?"
"The Imperial Master is gone."
Yu Qian shook his head and said immediately: Today is mainly for the formula. Grand Master, this recipe is all from your hand. If you hold it in your hand, you can make all the money in the world. If an ordinary businessman gets this formula, it will never be leaked. But you are willing to give out the formula for free for the sake of the people, and I admire you very much. "
Li Xiao looked at Yu Qian and said: "Money, if you don't bring it with you in life, and if you don't take it with you in death, even if it's gold and silver, what's the use of it? The great ambition of my master is to make this Ming Dynasty last forever, and everyone can Like a dragon, the world is unified."
"Everyone is like a dragon, and the world is unified."
When Yu Qian heard these words, he felt like thunder, and his whole body trembled. His admiration for Li Xiao increased several notches again.
The two saints relied so much on the Imperial Master and gave Shang Fang the sword and the imperial edict. It was really not groundless. The Imperial Master's continuous talent was comparable to that of the immortals in the sky, and he was extremely humble.
"Yu Qian."
Yu Qian was still in shock when Li Xiao interrupted his thoughts. He continued: "The matter here has been solved. Are you willing to do things with me?"
Yu Qian was shocked and said excitedly: "Yes!"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Okay, I remember your words, go ahead and do what you should do."
"Yes, Imperial Master."
Yu Qian turned around and retreated.
After a conversation, Yu Qian was completely shocked by Li Xiao's style and talent. He only had admiration and admiration in his heart, and had no intention of catching up.
He knows that in this world, there is probably no one who is better than the national master. It is difficult to find through the ages. Ming Dynasty is really lucky!
After Yu Qian left.
Li Xiao contacted Ningyun telepathically.
[Li Xiao: Are you asleep, honey? how are things? Do you miss me, your husband? 】
[Zhu Ningyun: I was asleep, but now I’m awake. Husband, how long will it take for you to come back? I miss you so much. You also said this year that you would go to Yunnan together. I’m afraid it will be delayed until next year? 】
[Li Xiao: I don’t know. It may take a year. The situation here is a bit complicated. There is Mr. Liang who is blocking it. I’m afraid it will take a little longer. 】
[Zhu Ningyun: By the way, Gao Sui came back yesterday and went to see the emperor's grandfather today. Gao Tun said he would go to Nanjing to find you tomorrow. With such a helper, you should be able to get there faster. 】
[Li Xiao: Is the High Tunnel coming back? With this helper, it will be even more powerful. By the way, if Gaotun comes back, it means that the war in Japan is going very smoothly. How about the father's side? 】
[Zhu Ningyun: The war in the Japanese country went very smoothly. My father brought all the elite soldiers and generals. In three months, all the families in the Japanese country were wiped out. When Gao Tun came back this time, he asked Gao Chi to select Confucian scholars, who were the scholars who failed the last national examination. He selected 5,000 people and went to Japan to teach Chinese and Chinese characters, turning Japan into the land of the Ming Dynasty. After the emperor's grandfather heard the news, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several days. He praised you everywhere.]
[Li Xiao: The emperor must be happy. The Ming Dynasty has more territory, and the silver from the Japanese country can now directly flow into the Ming Dynasty on a large scale without paying any price. You can send a letter to the emperor, saying that it will be All the silver mines in the Japanese country were controlled by the imperial court, and the silver produced could be used directly by the imperial court. 】
[Zhu Ningyun: Huh? ? Is this okay? Husband, didn’t you say that too much money flowing into the market will only lead to economic expansion? 】
[Li Xiao: I have said this, but currently there is not enough silver circulating except in the Ming Dynasty in Peking. The silver unearthed by the imperial court is the pricing power. The imperial court can use it directly and swallow it without causing inflation. , you don’t need to know the reason, it’s more complicated, just tell your father like this, he will definitely be overjoyed. 】
The reason why Li Xiao explained this is because a country can promote the economy by issuing additional currency on its own.
I didn’t mention it before, but I was afraid that the imperial court would start printing treasure banknotes like crazy, which would make the treasure banknotes worthless.
But silver mining and smelting takes time and is injected slowly, so it will not lead to inflation.
At present, apart from Peiping, there is still very little silver circulating in other places.
Once there is less money, the economy will become clogged.
Therefore, the inflow of silver will allow people to make more money out of thin air, and then promote the internal circulation of the economy.
[Zhu Ningyun: Husband, okay, I will write the memorial tomorrow and have the Ministry of War pass it on to my father. Husband, why are you calling me so late? 】
[Li Xiao: There is something. Tomorrow you will ask someone to go to the toilet paper workshop, chicken farm, duck farm, preserved egg factory, and mushroom workshop in Peiping to hire a master respectively. Send someone to escort them to Xiaodong Village, Jiangning County, Nanjing. To a Yu Qian person. 】
[Zhu Ningyun: My good husband, Yu Qian, is the child prodigy who got second place in the national examination, right? If the imperial grandfather hadn't gotten the first place in the exam, this person would have been the first place. It seems that this person is quite talented, right? 】
[Li Xiao: Yes, this person has outstanding talents and can be reused. I am sharpening him little by little, so that he can take my place in the future, and we will travel around, hehe.]
[Zhu Ningyun: Yes, yes, husband, you really dedicated your life to the Ming Dynasty. 】
[Li Xiao: Who made me the son-in-law of the Holy Emperor? I love you, Aiwujiwu.]
[Zhu Ningyun: Yeah, yeah.]
Hang up telepathy.
Li Xiao turned around and fell asleep.
On the other side, in the Duke's Mansion in Beiping, Zhu Ningyun was tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
"Hey, lovesickness is so painful."
Zhu Ningyun, who had not seen Li Xiao for more than three months, always felt a little lacking in taste all day long, and murmured: "Simply, I will go to Nanjing via the high-speed tunnel tomorrow, and I will also go to see my husband. Well, just see him, Then come back”
After hesitating for a while, he rejected the idea, "Forget it, my husband has done his best for the Ming Dynasty. At this moment, Peiping can use telepathy and needs my help at any time. If I go to Nanjing, I won't be able to help him. "
The next day, early morning.
Zhu Ningyun got up early in the morning, then went to the Ministry of War and wrote a memorial to his father, explaining the matter of mining silver.
Afterwards, she went to the palace to greet her grandfather, chatted with him for a while, and then returned to the mansion.
Just after sitting down to rest for a while, Zhang Cuicui came over and reported:
"Princess, Song Yingxing asked to see you, saying there is something urgent."
