After the villains heard my voice, they all lost their composure.

Regarding the current situation in Southern Qi, Yan Mu'an is helpless. Let's talk about encouraging business. This is an era where survival depends on agriculture. Everyone is doing business. Who will grow food?

In this era, food cannot be bought with money. Not only must we not destroy the foundation of food, we must also provide support.

etc.

"I'll tell you a story."

Yong Chang was a little surprised. He was still thinking about whether the streets needed to be repaired. Why did he suddenly want to hear a story again?

Yan Mu'an said: "There is a country called Qi State, which is eyeing a country called Lu State. But if we go to war directly, we will injure the enemy one thousand and lose eight hundred to ourselves. What's more, there are other countries around us. Once the war starts, we will be in trouble." Infinitely, at this time, a man named Guan Zhong came up with a way. He asked the king to issue an order requiring the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the people all over the country to wear silk cloth clothes. As a result, the supply of silk cloth in Qi State exceeded the demand, and the price was one per day. "

"At this time, the people of Lu State saw the opportunity and felt it was profitable, so they began to weave cloth all over the country. Weavers became a hot commodity. A large number of people poured into this industry. The land was uncultivated and the food income was even worse. It was too horrible to see. Just when the whole country was busy in full swing, the State of Qi suddenly issued a new decree, prohibiting people from wearing silk cloth. As a result, all the silk cloth of the Lu State was smashed into their hands, plus the food. If you reduce it, you can only choose to surrender in the end.”

"This method was later used in other countries, and it worked repeatedly."

"Okay, I'm done with my story."

[This is the initial form of economic warfare. Guan Zhong is truly a genius. 】

Yan Muan ate the fruit and asked, "How is it? You don't feel anything after listening to it?"

Yong Chang raised his hand to her, "I'll tell my brother later, did the Yan family use this method to buy cattle and sheep from the grassland?"

Yan Muan smiled and said: "The prairie cavalry are powerful, but if we buy their cattle and sheep in large quantities, we can get some war horses by the way. Furthermore, if they think it is profitable, they will fight for the pasture and raise more cattle and sheep. Once everyone Everyone is busy making money, who is willing to risk their lives to plunder?”

"The Yan family's power is really too small, so we still need the imperial court to step in, or the imperial court to authorize a trading house to step in."

"The other thing is the price of food. Although the court controls food, the power to set food prices is still in the hands of merchants. They can sell as much as they say. It would be a good thing if the court could purchase food by itself. If there is too much food, it will be stored. When it comes to food, When production is reduced, it will be used to balance market food prices."

"There is actually a problem with the very low price that merchants purchase grain in the harvest years. The so-called low price of grain hurts farmers. The court should set the purchase price. Merchants cannot purchase less than the price set by the court. If the people are motivated, they will work hard to cultivate. By opening up wasteland, there will be more and more food.”

Yongchang listened carefully to his suggestions and naturally talked about ways to increase grain production. Yan Mu'an said: "I asked my cousin De to get the farming prescription from the Princess's Mansion. There are ways to get rid of insects and increase production. Let the emperor promote it when the time comes."

This was the culmination of Princess Huaixiang's years of hard work. Yongchang knew the importance, "Thank you very much. Nan Qi will never forget Princess Huaixiang's kindness."

"Just remember."

"If the grain output increases after using this method, remember to set up a merit monument for my mother."

Yong Chang nodded, "It should be."

Yan Mu'an got up and felt that she was very tired today and felt uncomfortable. She leaned on the beauty's couch and thought of the few people she saw in the business today. She felt that Ning Suo was really efficient in handling things. It was foreseeable that Ning Suo would be able to handle things with her support. It doesn't take long to figure it out.

It was really exciting to think about it. If it weren't for the inappropriate status, she would have wanted to participate.

Yongchang summoned his advisers and went to the study room to discuss everything Yan Mu'an told him, and finally compiled it into a book so that he could give it directly to his brother Huang. The next day Yongchang began to resume his busy days. Yan Muan packed up and went to Prince Fu's Mansion. The old Princess Fu was ill. When he saw her, he sighed, "I've been looking forward to it for a year, but it's the result."

Yan Mu'an didn't know how to comfort this kind of thing, "Don't be too sad. As the saying goes, sometimes things must happen in life, but maybe it's just a little late."

Princess Lao Fu sighed again, "Why don't you come to see me? Don't worry, my old bones are fine for the time being. I will definitely get the next great-grandchild."

"You are right to think so. The days are long."

This was the first time Yan Muan came to Lao Fu Prince's Mansion, and she thought it was really grand. If nothing else, the furnishings in the house were better than hers, but the smell of incense was a bit stronger. "The weather has been nice recently, so I went to sit in the garden when I had free time. Isn’t it good to be in a good mood with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers?”

Princess Lao Fu nodded, raised her eyes and asked, "I heard that you and the prince are going to Yongcheng together?"

"You are really well informed."

Yan Mu'an sighed: "You know, the court is short of money, so it has to find a way."

"I heard that Yongcheng has a vast area, frequent goods exchanges, and is the ancestral home of the Yong family, so I thought about going there to see the opportunity."

She didn't believe everything Old Princess Fu said. She was afraid that the couple would start another bloody storm when they arrived in Yongcheng, but she also knew that she shouldn't care about it and couldn't care about it.

Yan Mu'an didn't mention this matter much, and only told her to take good care of herself, "You are very important in this house, and you must not fall down."

"Yong Ting's errands are done well. The prince said that he is growing very fast and will soon be able to take charge of his own business."

Speaking of this grandson, Princess Laofu became happy again, "Thank you and the prince for taking care of him. That boy is very capable. He has been under the protection of his family since he was a child, so he is inevitably a little naive."

Yan Mu'an has discovered this, "It doesn't matter, you always need to grow."

"I heard from the prince that the prince is also very talented. He is responsible for most things after the arrival of the Heavenly Saint Envoy. Not only the Heavenly Saint Envoy is satisfied, but also the Emperor is extremely satisfied."

Princess Lao Fu is even more proud when talking about her son. Her son used to be able to live a happy life without any ambition to make progress. Since he entered the Ministry of Rites, he has been energetic and energetic every day. This time when the Heavenly Holy Envoy arrived, he was even more busy. Touch the ground.

"It's different from before."

Yan Mu'an fed him a mouthful of cake, "The prince's talents are not like this. I believe his future will not just be his current position. Your good luck is still to come, but you have to cheer up."

After hearing these few words from her, Princess Lao Fu's mood indeed improved a lot, and she became more relaxed. Yan Mu'an also told her, "I heard what the prince said. When there are still servants in the court, the emperor and He has praised Prince Fu's Mansion many times, so you should keep an eye on the children and grandchildren in the Mansion, as the court is waiting for them to serve."

When I move to Yongcheng, there will be many opportunities. (End of chapter)
