The rest of the people were also a little confused and didn't understand it at all.
Xue Jingwen saw that Shen Zhaolin didn't understand this time, so he had to explain: "His Highness' meaning is very simple. Qingyun County is his private territory, and his main purpose is to support emerging families."
"Just like...the big families at the beginning of the founding of our Wu Kingdom, these are the supporters of the Wu Kingdom royal family, but they are not the long-standing aristocratic families."
"In Prince You, we are outsiders after all, and the families in Qingyun County will be the targets of his support."
"Ah?" Shen Zhaolin's expression changed: "Then we can't compete?"
"No!" Xue Jingwen shook his head and said: "This is not a conflict, because the competition in Qingyun County is not small. Who can seize the opportunity and who can be supported depends on their own destiny. There is a high probability that His Highness will not favor anyone. One side!"
"The reason why His Highness only targeted Qingyun County but allowed us to do it in other counties is because of another consideration."
"What are you considering?" Tang Junfeng frowned.
"Driving the enthusiasm, or in other words, balance, of the rest of the counties!"
"balance?"
"Yes, it's a balance!" Xue Jingwen said firmly: "The distance between Qingyun County and other counties is gradually widening. Your Highness does not want the other counties to be widened, so we need to be the pioneers. When we get the benefits in other counties, , then more people will follow, and they will also follow our example!”
"If His Highness really rejects us, then he will not allow us to do business in other counties, but will not allow us to do business in Hailong County."
Everyone fell into silence. Is this King You's way of balance?
For the first time, they discovered that they were far different from their peers.
But they also felt that Li Zhao did this not only to protect the people and businesses in Qingyun County.
Of course, Li Zhao thinks more than that. Business protection is just a means. What he needs is all prosperity.
But he also knew very well that farming could not achieve full prosperity.
He was unwilling to divide people into three, six, or nine grades, but he had to admit that some people were born to be better than others, and this could not be made up for by simply relying on hard work and help.
Just like Xue Jingwen, this guy was born to be an expert in business and knew everything he thought about, but Shen Zhaolin and Tang Junfeng who came with him were not.
Therefore, it is impossible for Li Zhao to truly treat everyone equally.
What he has to do now is to take off with some people, and then feed them back to more ordinary people after the whole thing takes off.
This forms a new cycle, and only in this way can this land truly develop.
As for the people across the country moving toward a well-off life, Li Zhao doesn't think he can do it with these three or two inventions of his.
Even though industrialization was so advanced in the previous life and developed for a full thirty years, 70% of the people are still in poverty.
This is reality!
Achieving a well-off life is Li Zhao's ultimate goal in his life.
If it can really be achieved, today's Wu Kingdom must far surpass the Han, Tang and Ming Dynasties at that time!
However, this road is long and arduous.
It’s really hard to leave.
"I don't know if I will ever have the chance to see that day in my life?"
Caviar fish hotpot is very popular.
The children of the aristocratic families, who had almost vomited after eating the pretty shrimps and frogs, finally came to life again.
Not only that, Liangxia Niwa has introduced a new way to eat: hot pot!
As soon as the hot pot came out, the heat immediately overshadowed all fish varieties.
The word hotpot spread rapidly among major families.
Isn't it better to have a warm meal of hot pot in winter than to eat other dishes?
When hot pot became popular, wine also ushered in its second spring, resulting in a rapid decline in the amount of local wine stored.
This series of chain reactions has caused the local economy to rise rapidly.
Immediately afterwards, new fish dishes were also released one after another.
Braised fish nuggets, cured fish nuggets, spicy and sour fish, and charcoal grilled fish are on display one after another.
They are obviously the same ingredients, but the cooking methods are completely different, resulting in a completely different taste.
The emergence of these new fish dishes directly caused Longyang Township, which was already somewhat depressed, to become popular again.
Subsequently, Pretty Shrimp Niwa announced that it will open a branch in Qingyun County and even the other eight counties.
Tang Junfeng and the others were overjoyed.
They finally understood why His Highness did what he did.
Food is undoubtedly the best way to boost the local economy.
Even though it is just a simple meal, it can drive a lot of consumption and make many local people rich.
Because this is also a long supply chain.
When the news spread, countless aristocratic families finally reacted, especially the eight major counties outside Qingyun County started beating gongs and drums.
Pretty Shrimp Ni Frog has become a brand effect, and everyone knows how good this store's business is.
In order to promote the local economy and keep it active, Li Zhao decided to use local materials and select a site.
Those who sell land can get money, and those who sell building materials can also make money. Subsequent recruitment of personnel, food ingredients, dishes and tableware, etc. are all purchased locally.
The standards will be high, but it will allow wealth to circulate.
Moreover, Li Zhao’s Pretty Shrimp Niwa also has a membership system, and business owners who provide materials to Liang Xiniwa branches can get membership cards.
They can get discounts for future meals.
How could Li Zhao allow them to take away his money?
I gave you a discount, will you come and spend?
If it were in the later era, this trick would have been worn out. Unfortunately, in this era it is a new trick, a big killer.
I saw that there are discounts, and they are cheaper than others. This shows that King You values us very much.
Must go!
With them as the leaders, Xue Jingwen and others have already gone over to lay out the layout.
This preliminary business model was built quietly.
Even without Li Zhao deliberately promoting it, many aristocratic families already knew what to do next.
"Hey, hey, are you going to do business?"
"What business is there? There is no business to do. They have all contracted the fish ponds."
"Are you stupid? Let's not just focus on the fish!"
"What are you staring at?"
“What does it take to make fish?”
"Youyan? Ouch, why did you hit me?"
"Garlic! Now is a good time to plant garlic. Think about it, no matter what kind of fish or hot pot, does it have garlic?"
"Oh, it's true!"
“Then you grow garlic, what should I grow?”
"Ginger, this stuff is necessary to remove the smell!"
"Hiss, big brother, you are my biological parents!"
"What a big boy!"
"roll!"
…
"Brother, should we go to other counties to do some business?"
"Brother Xiao, have you got an idea?"
"nature!"
"Don't you understand, little brother?"
"Look, what's in the hot pot?"
"Hiss, spice?"
"That's right! Brother Yu has observed that the eight counties except Qingyun County are actually not very developed. If we go there..."
"Go, go now!"
