"what is the problem?"
"Think about it, although we have been spending a lot of money recently, we are actually still rich?"
"Huh?" Li Zhong was startled, and he also noticed.
"This is the key!" Li Zhao explained carefully: "Is our market getting better and better?"
"right!"
"Do the people in the surrounding villages go to the market every day after get off work to have a look?"
"Hiss!" Li Zhong was startled and quickly opened the account book and said, "This..."
"This is the internal economic cycle I told you. Of course, this is only the most basic." Li Zhao decided to give Li Zhong a good explanation, and by the way, draw a big pie, bah, construct a blueprint.
"Look, now we have raided the Du family's home in Hailong County, and there is a lot of food. Now we have raided the Hailong King's home, and there is also a lot of food. We won't be short of food in a short time, right?"
"right!"
"In addition to feeding the workers, are all the excess grains placed in the market? And if ordinary people go to other places to buy grains, won't it be very expensive? But in comparison, ours are very cheap?"
"right!"
"Then look at it now, do people still go to other places to buy food?"
"No!"
"Then I used the food I got from ransacking homes to get money back from the people. That means I have more money here, right?"
"right!"
"So did I make a profit?"
"ah?"
"Didn't I make any money?"
"Okay...it seems like...you've made a profit?"
Li Zhao then deceived: "Look, I didn't spend money to buy food, right?"
"right!"
"The palace has been built, right?"
"right!"
"Workers get wages and food to buy, right?"
"right!"
"In the end, the money came back to me. Isn't it amazing?"
Snap!
"Uncle Zhong, why are you still sitting on the ground?" Li Zhao quickly helped the frightened Li Zhong up.
Li Zhong's eyes were dull, with a look of disbelief on his face.
It seems...what His Highness said is right, but...isn't it right?
But with his brain he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
The palace is built, and the prince will benefit!
Build the palace and benefit the people!
Selling food benefits both the prince and the people!
So, who doesn’t benefit?
Li Zhong felt that he was about to grow a brain. The key... a large part of the money returned to the prince's hands.
The current market not only sells food, but also attracts other businessmen to set up stalls.
The prices here are cheaper than outside, which leads to more and more people buying.
What Li Zhao has to do now is to leverage the entire market on his own. The main reason is that the market in this era is very fragile, and there are many opportunities for him to take advantage of the loopholes.
Looking at Li Zhong who had been deceived and crippled, Li Zhao felt that it would be a pity not to become the leader of an MLM.
"Uncle Zhong!"
"Ah?" Li Zhong, who hadn't come back to his senses for a long time, looked at Li Zhao blankly.
"Next, are we going to collect food?"
"Ah, yes!" Li Zhong suddenly woke up when he heard the word "food".
Li Zhao immediately said: "While the Du family hasn't reacted yet, let's collect all the food first."
Although the Du family's property was forcibly confiscated, all the procedures were taken.
But I still feel a little guilty.
What Li Zhao had to do was to harvest the Du family's grain first.
What if that guy Du Xinyun is up to some dirty tricks and has the mentality of destroying me even if I can’t get it, then wouldn’t it mean that Li Zhao ransacked his house in vain?
In this era, food and money are still precious.
"Go and call Carpenter Long and Blacksmith Li over." Li Zhao said to Xiao Hong who was standing by.
Xiao Hong hesitated and said, "Is this the Li Tiejiang who tipped off the Sea Dragon King?"
"Yes!" Li Zhao nodded.
"He... committed suicide!" Xiao Hong said.
Li Zhao froze and said, "Suicide?"
"Well! General Li Bin came over just now and said that Tiejiang Li committed suicide after settling down his wife. He asked General Li Bin to tell the prince and everyone that he, Tiejiang Li, is responsible for all the work. Since he caused the disaster, he must be responsible. I only hope that the prince and everyone can give his wife and children a way to survive."
In fact, Li Zhaozhen did not blame Li Tiejiang, because Li Tiejiang was just a small person and he was forced to do so.
For the sake of his wife and children, he had no choice.
Moreover, Li Zhao never thought of letting him die.
But this honest man chose to die to apologize.
Li Zhao admitted that he was negligent because he forgot about him after using him. When he came back and faced the Du family, he didn't even have time to think about it.
He sighed and said: "Pass the order, no one is allowed to embarrass Tiejiang Li's wife and children. In addition, Tiejiang Li's mistakes have been wiped out!"
"Until the child is five years old, all the money, food, clothing, housing and transportation will be borne by the palace."
This time, Li Zhong had no objection.
"Then let Carpenter Long call the rest of the people over, and be quick!"
"yes!"
Everyone took the order and started doing things.
Li Zhao wants to be the first to get ahead of everyone. As long as he has money, food, and soldiers, he doesn't have to panic.
Not long after, Carpenter Long and others came over.
Li Zhao asked them to sit down. Everyone was very embarrassed. Although Li Zhao usually had no airs, today he really felt the moodiness of a big shot.
They discovered that Li Zhao was so ruthless in killing people.
Carpenter Long was relatively calm. He had known Li Zhao for the longest time and was the most familiar with Li Zhao.
"The main reason I came to see you today is to ask you to help me build a new tool."
"New tools?"
When it came time to get down to business, they immediately became less panicked.
Li Zhao immediately asked them to get closer and took out a blueprint.
When many craftsmen got this drawing, they all looked confused.
Because they really don't know this kind of thing.
"Your Highness..." Long Carpenter asked boldly: "What... is this thing used for?"
"Uh... help threshing rice!"
"Threshing rice?"
"Yes!" Li Zhao signaled: "Don't you usually harvest rice by clapping it with both hands? But with this, we will speed up!"
Seeing that they still looked confused and unconvinced, Li Zhao had no choice but to say: "Anyway, you build one for me first, and you can put down the work in your hands."
"If you can work together to build something good, I will reward you greatly!"
As soon as they heard the words "everything comes with rewards", the eyes of Carpenter Long and others began to shine.
Although they don't quite believe that His Highness can really build any tool to speed up rice threshing, they do believe in money.
"This is an exploded view!" Li Zhao handed them the drawing he drew. Although it was a little scrawl, he believed that these people could understand it.
As for the proportion, he could only give a rough estimate, and the rest was up to these people to adjust.
"Then let's try it first?"
Li Zhaodao: "Wait!"
"Does the prince have any other instructions?"
Under the extremely curious gazes of everyone, Li Zhao took out a second drawing.
They looked at Li Zhao with curiosity, and they couldn't understand how Li Zhao's brain grew.
How could he, a high-ranking nobleman, understand this?
Li Zhao ignored their looks and continued: "This tool was also built for me. It will be of great use to me."
