back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 366 The Transformation of Huangzhuang
If Lu Chengqi knew about the change in her heart, he would definitely die of depression. He was so kind in his previous life, but no girl liked him.Nowadays, an overlord flower can be subdued by just relying on a piece of empty words. This can only be said that I don’t understand, but the world is changing too fast.

With Han Feng'er's lightness kung fu, it's not a big deal to take a detour.It only took an extra quarter of an hour to return to his home in the northern outskirts of Chang'an City.After hearing Han Feng'er's return, Han's mother said complainingly: "You crazy girl, where did you go crazy? You came back so late, it seems that you won't be able to settle down if you don't find a husband's family with you!"

When Han Feng'er heard the words, she first glanced at Han Chengyi who was gloating, and then replied: "There are some matters in the orphanage, so it's late."

Now, Han Fenger's salary in the welfare home is the biggest income of the whole family.Moving out of the welfare home as a shield, Mother Han had nothing to say, sighed, and said, "Girl, after this year you will be twenty, and if you don't find a husband, you won't be able to get married... Sigh, your father is dead!" It's early, even a mother can't convince you, forget it, forget it, let's eat..."

Han Feng'er listened to the words her mother would repeat every day, and knew she was wrong.But some time ago, the Han family was still a family member of a prisoner, and no one dared to propose marriage.After Lu Chengqi rehabilitated the Han family, Han Feng'er was already 19 years old.Many girls have children at this age, but Han Feng'er doesn't even have anyone to propose marriage!

Silently helping Mother Han prepare dinner and preparing tableware, Han Fenger really wanted to say that Liu Qi had arrived in Chang'an City.But under selfishness, Han Feng'er still held back and said nothing.Firstly, of course Han Feng'er didn't want to be entangled by Liu Qi; secondly, she didn't want Liu Qi to be entangled with her family either.Anyway, I just didn't want to have anything to do with Liu Qi. Han Feng'er couldn't resist his thick skin.

On this side, in the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, both Lu Chengqi and Zhou Zhiruo had dinner and returned to the Hall of Renming.After all the maids were dismissed, Zhou Zhiruo asked, "Your Majesty, what factory should you talk about in the orphanage?"

Lu Chengqi explained his idea again, and Zhou Zhiruo had some doubts: "But if you do this, Huangzhuang will earn less..."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Zitong to be a little money fan!" Lu Chengqi teased.

Zhou Zhiruo became a little unhappy, she pouted, turned her head away, and pretended to ignore Lu Chengqi.This trick proved unsuccessful, and Lu Chengqi quickly raised the white flag to surrender: "Ahem, Zitong, I was just joking just now, just kidding... It's making money, there's nothing wrong with it, let's all make money together!"

Only then did Zhou Zhiruo look back triumphantly. Lu Chengqi knew that he had been tricked by her little trick again, so he smiled helplessly and said, "Zi Tong is indeed my nemesis..."

Zhou Zhiruo began to say seriously: "Your Majesty, Huangzhuang now has to support 3 people. If it doesn't make money, the concubines really don't know what to do." This sentence is true. The welfare homes supported by Huangzhuang alone are now spread all over Among the major cities in Dashun, more than [-] abandoned children have been adopted.Coupled with the regular subsidy to the Supervision Department, the Royal University, the Royal Military Academy, and even the latest weapons developed by the Military Weapons Supervision are all funded by Huangzhuang.Although Huangzhuang's monthly income is several million guan, it still feels a little difficult.

Lu Chengqi smiled and said: "When did I ever do a loss-making business? If this cotton is sold well, the income will not be lower than that of silk and hemp clothes. Coupled with the guaranteed food, it will not only stabilize the hearts of the people, but also make Dashun Kingdom Zuo has become more stable. I have read "Mencius" these days, and I deeply agree with a sentence that the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the lightest. This water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. The hearts of the people are like water. If there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of beggars, that is my dereliction of duty. My idea is to turn Huangzhuang into a large factory that can accommodate many people for employment. At the same time, control the pricing power of prices to stabilize the economic trend of Dashun.”

Zhou Zhiruo listened carefully. Hearing this, she still couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty has already said these principles, and my concubines can understand them. But what kind of cotton and how to make money, Your Majesty still hasn't said anything!"

Lu Chengqi explained the concept of advertising and endorsement, and Zhou Zhiruo, with her astonishing business talent, understood it just once: "In other words, His Majesty's new clothes are also made of that cotton?"

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "Not only my clothes, Zitong's clothes, even the clothes of the palace maids, but also. I even thought about the advertisement, it's called pure cotton clothes, and I will give you a warm winter..."

Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Your Majesty's plain language, the common people can understand it, but will those literati buy it?"

Lu Chengqi thought for a while, but this was the case, and said with a smile: "I haven't read much, but this time I let it out and made Zitong laugh at me. How about letting Zitong think about this advertisement? After confirming, If it can be published in newspapers, sales will definitely be no problem.”

Zhou Zhiruo thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty thinks that the cotton-padded clothes are not cold in winter?"

Lu Chengqi praised: "Sure enough, Zitong is more talented than me, so it's settled!"

Zhou Zhiruo asked about state-owned enterprises again, and Lu Chengqi couldn't help but said, "If you want to stabilize the country's economy and avoid blind and vicious competition from businessmen, causing economic crisis, it is essential for the imperial court to control the economic trend. And the imperial court wants to control the economic trend." The trend must be regulated through Huangzhuang, which accounts for more than one-third of Dashun's total economic output. If the imperial court adopts administrative regulation, it will not only damage the interests of businessmen, but even damage the confidence of businessmen..."

"What is an economic crisis?" Zhou Zhiruo turned into a studious student and began to ask very professional questions.

This question confused Lu Chengqi. He also vaguely understood the concept of economic crisis. He was a finance major, and after being out of class for so long, he almost gave it back to the university teachers.What's more difficult is that Lu Chengqi didn't know how to explain the concept of economic crisis in the words of the ancients.

"Uh... this economic crisis is... let's put it this way, if businessmen ignore the market and produce blindly, the products produced will definitely be unsalable, and if they are unsalable, the price will drop. If the entire Dashun is like this, the economic crisis It happened. At that time, the merchants will go bankrupt, the craftsmen they hire will lose their income, and the situation in the entire Dashun will get worse and worse. In the end, it will turn into refugees vying for food, and Dashun will perish..."

"So serious?" Zhou Zhiruo said in surprise.

"There is another situation, that is, the continuous depreciation of copper coins will also cause economic crisis, so..."

"So the establishment of the Royal Bank is also necessary?" Zhou Zhiruo said after taking Lu Chengqi's words.

Surprised by Zhou Zhiruo's talent for doing business, she said: "That's right, monetary policy and macro-control are two invisible hands that stabilize the country's economy." Accidentally, Lu Chengqi explained what he had learned in college and explained the economy .Just looking at Zhou Zhiruo's appearance, it seems that it is not incomprehensible.Lu Chengqi secretly sighed: "If Zhiruo was born in later generations, she must be an extremely successful female entrepreneur!"
