Poor family mother and son

Chapter 1155 Gathering wealth for the country ([-])

It's really annoying to talk straight!
Liu Ju thought so.

What are the benefits of classifying stone paint into mining and metallurgy?
Even the recipe for lamp oil is unavailable. The imperial court has stone lacquer, just to use it for burning?Such a smelly thing, even more smelly than burning coal, is it worthy of being included in the Mining and Metallurgical Law?
That's okay. Even if we treat stone paint as coal, is it so easy to find a mine?How much manpower and material resources will be spent searching for mineral deposits?
Besides, is the use of stone paint as important as gold, silver, copper and iron ore?

It may not be possible to treat stone paint as a mineral in the short term.

Not to mention the short term, it is impossible to estimate the long term.

Just talking about the first half of this year, the main direction of discussion by the court was whether to allow some mines to be contracted to private mining?
To this end, the Ministry of Household Affairs also put forward bold suggestions: "Calling the people to adopt and prepare their own materials for cooking, ten cents for the rate, the government will collect two cents, and the eight cents will be sold by the households themselves"; and "Calling the people to explore and report mines" , and encourage it."

In fact, this was all based on the concession granted by the emperor to Chu Qing to purchase iron ore.

The franchise granted to Chu Qing not only allowed her to make money, but also invented many tools. It can be seen that this method can stimulate people's initiative and enthusiasm.

If we can give this kind of privilege to a village woman back then, why can't we give it to others?As long as there are slight changes to make the contractor profitable, I am afraid it will stimulate a significant increase in the royal court's mining income.

Thinking of this, Liu Ju said: "Gong Yong'an is overthinking. Neither the imperial court nor the Ministry of Revenue has any intention to nationalize Shiqi;
The emperor has always been wise and always advocated taking it from the people and using it for the people. Therefore, our Ministry of Household Affairs proposed to purchase the lamp oil prescription to increase the production of lamp oil and benefit the people. "

Although he knew that the emperor was asking for free if he could, and if he couldn't, spend less and do more, he let himself negotiate with Duke Yong'an. However, it was the duty of a minister to maintain the emperor's dignity. Liu Ju must speak for the emperor before speaking. A gold face.

"Oh~" Chu Qing said "oh" and turned around eighteen times: "I understand, it turns out that Mr. Liu is worried about the production of lamp oil!

So, can you please give me a figure. With the ability of the Ministry of Revenue, how many kilograms of lamp oil can be sold on a consignment basis each year?We will definitely have sufficient supply! "

Liu Ju: If you don’t make people angry, can you die?

The rest is easy to talk about.

Since Chu Qing insists on the principle of "no cooperation unless making money", there is nothing to talk about. We can only proceed to the next step - to discuss the method and price of cooperation with Chu Qing.

Anyway, it is impossible to let the court open a shop for the Chu family in vain.

Chu Qing didn't care that the court opened a shop for her. How much less would she make?

Therefore, Liu Ju and Chu Qing began to discuss the issue of whether to cooperate in the form of "consignment sales" or "distribution".

Since you can't do it without spending money, you should spend less money. This is the purpose of the Ministry of Household Affairs and what Liu Ju has been doing all his life.

But he didn't expect that this discussion would last for a month.

Because Yong'an Mansion was suddenly crowded, and Lord Yong'an had no time to pay attention to him.

Liu Ju wanted to stretch himself and talk slowly, stretch Chu Qing until he lost his temper, and make a decision that was beneficial to him, but reality did not allow it!
Yamen from all over the country sent people to discuss cooperation with Chu Qing in selling cement and lamp oil in order to improve their local living standards, improve their political performance, or make money for themselves in the name of the government.

Businessmen from all over the country flocked to the place.

A businessman's nose is the sharpest. He can tell which business is profitable and when he will make the most money, just by smelling it.

Otherwise, he would send a good horse to the board of directors in vain. A good horse can run fast. In just a short time, Zou Shiyang started promoting the propaganda work.

If you come from the Secret Investigation Department, even if you are not taken seriously, you still have two brushes!

Chu Qing sent someone to send another 500 taels of silver to Zou Shiyang. He said that it was hot and he was afraid that Wosma would not adapt to the southern climate, so he asked him to buy some fruits to relieve the heat.

So, the director openly ate lychees under the scorching sun, not afraid of getting angry at all, and even called it: fighting poison with poison.

The five Voss horses snorted angrily: What you are eating is my money to cool down!Liu Ju panicked.

We can't let this go on. The agency prices offered by these businessmen are too outrageous. Each one is higher than the other, as if they are not spending their own money.

Then what competitiveness does his household department have?

If these businessmen each monopolize the right to sell in one place, then what's the point of his trip?
Liu Ju quickly wrote a secret memorandum to the emperor and sent someone to Kyoto on a starry night journey.

While Liu Jingjiao was anxiously waiting for a reply, a surprising visitor came to the Yong'an Mansion.

"Boss, the fourth prince of Voss, Kelidi, wants to see you." Zhuo Yao said.

"Huh?" Chu Qing wondered: "Want to see you? Kelidi? He came to our house?"

Zhuo Yao: "No, someone else was at the inn and sent someone to deliver the post."

Kelidi has arrived at Yong'an Mansion and is staying peacefully at the inn. He has sent someone to ask for a greeting card. What kind of trouble is Kelidi going to make?Chu Qing frowned.

"See you, boss?" Zhuo Yao was waiting for instructions.

"No!" Chu Qing said, "Is this another attempt to alienate the relationship between me and the imperial court?"

Kelidi ran to the post station in Chuqing fiefdom to stay. Could the government office and the board of directors know?
If Chu Qing met him, would he be suspected of having foreign connections?Then there will be another turmoil. Isn’t it annoying?

"Boss, let's take a look at what the post says first," Zhuo Yao suggested: "The visitor's announcement was not very good. I heard that he wanted to buy something from us."

shopping?You have to take a look.

Chu Qing opened the post, and it was written simply. He only said that he wanted to discuss several transactions with Mr. Yongan about joining the Chu family, but he did not specify which ones.

"Well... see you then!" Chu Qing stroked her chin and said, "If you tell the person coming, I will be free tomorrow morning."

Chu Qing found that the action of stroking a man's beard really helped him think, but she didn't have a beard, so she could only stroke her chin.

Liu Ju is here, and meeting Kelidi in front of him should not cause any trouble.

If Kelidi is really here to talk about cooperation, then of course he can't miss it.

Chu Qing has always been worried about Xiaobao losing such a big property as the "White House" and "Xuanren Street".

That was the compensation for his son's almost losing his life. For the sake of Chu Qing, he said he didn't want it. As a mother, I really couldn't live with it.

If possible, through this cooperation with Kelidi, we can get those industries back!
When Liu Ju heard that the Fourth Prince of Voss had led a team to discuss cooperation with Chu Qing, he became anxious!

This possibility is great!

Voss Country is short of food, but it is more than just a lack of food.

They lack everything, lack of population, lack of resources, lack of food, lack of talents... But they really want everything.

At most Emperor Daxuan wants everything, and if not, he can buy it, but the people of Vos may not, they will rob it if they don't come!
He had to follow Chu Qing to find out what trouble the Voss people were going to make. Now that their prince was here, would there be an army secretly following him?
