Chapter 628 Chatting on the Street

The empress finally took Ren Baqian away from the beam of the house. The emperor of a country came out to visit him in a private manner and ran away like running away.

Of course, she didn't get any advantage in Tong Zhenye, and kicked Tong Zhenye out of the street with one kick.

Tong Zhenye broke a house and fell on another street. He lay there for a long time and then clapped his hands and realized what the empress was referring to.

"Ren Baqian...you cheat me!"

The empress heard Tong Zhenye shouting in the distance and asked Ren Baqian: "What have you cheated on him?"

"Forgot!" Ren Baqiandao.

"Oh!" the empress nodded and stopped asking.

The two of them traveled in Baishi District for a long time. When other areas of Lancheng were gradually depressing, the place where various weapons, farming tools and iron tools were sold was much more lively.

Thanks to the weapons left by the Daxia army last year and the iron ore brought back from Yunguo some time ago, the price of iron ore in Lancheng has dropped, creating a much more prosperous iron market than before.

Ren Baqian also saw a copy of the manual fan here! It was the kind of earth fan he made first, pulling it with a rope and turning the fan for a while.

The fan blades of this type of fan are made of wood, one or two silver dollars each, and they are sold well.

The two of them then walked around the Shihu District. This place, which was originally the largest animal skin trading site, is now almost all closed.

"Have you ever thought about taking out some things? The treasury income is too low. Tuwan complained many times." The empress asked as she walked.

"Although the well salt in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Revenue can enrich the treasury now, the silver is used to fill the previous deficit. Moreover, the salt price of Dayao is too high, which is too burdened by the people. Especially as you said just now, the animal skins of the mountain people have rotted, so naturally there is no income, so I want to reduce the salt price a little, which is about half at present, so the people can afford it."

"Is someone telling His Majesty?" Ren Baqian smiled.

"I know their ideas, but their ideas are not wrong. This country belongs to me and I am upset. You have to share some of it, so I come and ask you. Others can have their own little ideas and keep all the good things in their own hands, but I can't do it. I am the emperor. And you are my husband chosen, so you can't do it either!" the empress said slowly.

"Of course, what Your Majesty wants to do is what I should do!" Ren Baqian said.

Then the two found a place on the street to sit down. Ren Baqian thought for a long time before saying, "We should collect some fur!"

"Why?" The Empress was a little puzzled.

"Since the war started, merchants from the three countries have disappeared. The fur of the mountain people cannot be sold and all of them rotted. The mountain people naturally have no income. They have no income and naturally have no consumption capacity.

Nowadays, fur can be collected to give mountain residents some income. Once they have income, they can consume in the city and purchase materials needed for survival.

Secondly, furs made from nitrate require manpower, which can increase the income of these people and also improve the situation of some people.

This money is just a number in the warehouse, but it can circulate but stimulate the entire market and change the lives of many people.

Finally, the price of fur is very low now. As long as you find a sales channel and sell the fur to Daxia, you can make a profit."

The empress was a little confused when she heard her words. Da Yao's business model was very primitive and there were very few types of tax revenue, so she didn't pay much attention to business.

As Ren Baqian said, she listened. Anyway, Ren Baqian was better at this aspect than hers.

However, she was a little happy to prevent the mountain people from rotting. Just as Ren Baqian said, at least this could solve some problems.

"You can only do this. You want to pay money from the treasury and go crazy at the party." The empress said.

"Natural." Ren Baqian nodded. If he wanted to marry the empress, he naturally had to be responsible for these messes of Dayao. He had no resistance at all.

"What they want is spice, right?" Ren Baqian said to himself.

"This thing is in the hands of His Majesty, and no one else dares to move it lightly. But if you give it to them, it will be planted by every family.

At the current price of spices, no one who can get this thing will be spared. It is easier for those ministers to get the seeds of spices from the Ministry of Works.

The most likely thing that will appear at that time is that all the farmlands around Lancheng are full of spices. Not only will the price drop sharply, but it will also affect the planting of grain crops. Let's leave it to them after a few years."

"I can take out some other things, such as daily necessities such as soap, as well as cotton and textile technology."

"It's good if you think it's OK." The empress put one hand on Ren Baqian's shoulder, put her chin on the back of her hand, and breathed in Ren Baqian's ears a little naughtyly.

She still remembers that every time Ren Baqian approaches her ears and speaks, she will itch from her ears to her heart, so she wants to see what Ren Baqian reacts.

"Ah!" Ren Baqian screamed exaggeratedly, and his head tilted and hit the empress's forehead.

"Hmph!" The empress snorted and sat upright. Ren Baqian screamed too exaggeratedly. She was not devoted to acting and had no sincerity at all.

"Go back!" said the empress.

"good."

...

The next day, Ren Baqian went to the Ministry of Works and taught Tong Zhenye how to make soap, and helped Tong Zhenye plan and build Dayao's first soap factory.

Then he started to recruit people, opened a store, and then surrounded a piece of wasteland outside the city and built a leather processing factory.

After a while, a shop on Jingyang Street in Lancheng launched a sign for purchasing fur.

The shop was just a few days after it opened, and it was crowded with mountain people coming to hear the news.

The fur that had accumulated for a long time and had even begun to rot were transported into Lancheng in large quantities and then weighed in the yard behind the shop!

Yes, overweight!

Ordinary fur is calculated by pounds, just like collecting waste paper.

The price is a little lower than the purchase price of merchants in those three countries, but this is enough to make the mountain people ecstatic.

After knowing that this shop was the background of the royal family, many people regarded it as a good deed by the empress to sympathize with the people. After all, Dayao did not have the means to make fur, and now there is still war outside, and the trade routes are completely broken.

The only reason Your Majesty did this is to pity the people.

For a time, the empress's reputation grew a little higher.

An emperor can be compassionate and kind to the people, which is enough to make the emperor be loved by the people.

What's more, the empress is the strongest person in the ancient clan. She can win battles outside and treat the people well. That is the best emperor in the hearts of the people.

And during this period, the war in Izumo Kingdom has changed some more.

The first thing is that those elephant soldiers appeared on the battlefield. This giant with thick skin and thick flesh gained great results from the beginning.

Zi Donglai used elephant soldiers as vanguards to attack the enemy formation, and in one battle he annihilated nearly 100,000 troops of Izumo Kingdom.

Of course, more than half of these elephant soldiers lost in this battle, and they can be said to have become consumables and were destroyed in one battle.

However, Zi Donglai's goal was achieved, and this battle directly destroyed half of the available troops of Izumo Kingdom.
