Happy Little Scholar

Genius remembers 『→网.』 in one second, providing you with wonderful novel reading.

The King of Shu postponed the date of action for half a month, before the Lantern Festival, and Li Yi could only accept it passively. He couldn't put a knife on his neck to force him, which was too inhumane.

There is a give and take, everyone discusses problems, expresses their own opinions, and compromises with each other. This is the way to solve problems.

For example, I helped him to consult the time and route. He thought it would be better to take action after the New Year. I also think what he said makes sense. Let's meet on the Lantern Festival, and the matter is settled.

The next thing is much easier. If Shuzhou wants to develop, after clearing up the bureaucracy and banditry, as well as the unstable factor of the King of Shu, the first thing to be cleared is those closed or outdated policies.

At present, for ordinary people in Shuzhou, agriculture is still the most important and basic. This is related to whether they can have enough food or not.

On this basis, it is necessary to emphasize that industry, agriculture and commerce go hand in hand and develop together.

They have indeed done so these days.

Lower tariffs, attract investment, cancel curfews, open night markets, build workshops, provide a large number of jobs for women who are idle at home, and sell the goods produced in the workshops to merchants from various countries...

Shuzhou will become the first special economic zone of Jingguo.

...

Walking on the streets of Yongxian with Ruyi Ruoqing again, it is very different from what I saw a few months ago.

The streets of Yongxian used to be dirty and messy, with garbage everywhere and sewage ditches everywhere. When passing certain sections of the road, you have to cover your mouth and nose.

Now the streets are cleaned by special people. It is not spotless, but at least there is no feeling of dirtiness.

Of course, the Yongxian County Government did this not just to implement the policies of the governor.

Since the reform of Shuzhou's tariffs and commercial laws, it has attracted merchants from Jingguo, Qiguo, and even Wuguo in a short period of time.

Shuzhou's geographical location is special. It is a must-go place for these merchants to travel to various countries. Now after the reform of the commercial law, looking at several countries, no state is more friendly to these merchants than Shuzhou.

Every day, goods from all over the country meet here. They no longer need to travel around. Anything they want to buy can be found in Yong County. It is free trade.

Not only the merchants are happy, but the officials of Yong County are even happier than them.

Although the tax rate for foreign merchants has been reduced, the total tax amount has increased by ten or dozens of times. Those merchants who come here have to rent shops and land to build workshops. This is all white silver. Although these silvers cannot be moved, it is also happy to see!

What's more, these silvers will eventually be used in Shuzhou, including their bonuses. If they have a little performance, the year-end bonus alone is equivalent to a year's salary.

Before this, they thought that the new governor Chen was crazy, but now they realized that it was clearly His Royal Highness Jing Wang's unique vision and foresight...

"It is said that His Royal Highness Jing Wang will get married soon..."

"Yes, I heard that in a few days, all the brothels in the city will have free performances for three days. Now we can watch them to our heart's content!"

"Your Highness has only been in Shuzhou for a few months. The officials have become better, and there are no more bandits. Life is getting worse day by day. My wife can earn thirty coins a day by weaving cloth in the cloth workshop. I work so hard all day and only get a few cents. Alas..."

"Just smile secretly. We have been looking forward to His Royal Highness for many years. We have to show our appreciation for His Royal Highness's wedding this time. We have almost saved a basket of eggs at home. Although they are not worth much, they are also a small token of our appreciation..."

...

Li Yi has not appeared in public many times, so he can walk on the street with Ruyi Ruoqing like this without worrying about being recognized.

Ruyi had said before that she wanted to pass on the Liu family's kung fu, so Li Yi asked Ruoqing to pick a dozen girls of the right age from the brothel. Now that she had nothing to do, she would teach them kung fu. Of course, she would also bring Zuimo and Ruoqing along.

Although Zuimo and Ruoqing had long passed the age of learning kung fu, their achievements in this life were limited, and it was impossible for them to become masters like her or even Miss Liu Er, but with a master teaching them, their progress would not be slow, which put some pressure on the lazy Li Yi.

If their skills became stronger, it would be difficult for him to raise the power of a husband again...

Ruoqing was fine, but Zuimo's temperament made it hard to say what life would be like after marriage, who would be on top and who would be the bottom, who would be the active one and who would be the passive one...

However, a real man should be able to bend and stretch, and he should not care about these things...

Zuimo's wedding dress had been embroidered a long time ago. Now that the one-year period since the death of the previous emperor is about to pass, it is time to return the wedding they owe to them at the beginning of next year.

Ruyi and Ruoqing walked over to a roadside stall, picked up an exquisite hairpin, put it on Ruoqing's head, and said: "This hairpin is very suitable for my sister..."

Li Yi took a look, the hairpin is indeed exquisite, and judging from the style, it doesn't look like it came from Jingguo. Now Yongxian County is full of merchants from all over the world, and you can find a lot of good things at any small stall on the street.

Beside the two, another woman also picked up a hairpin and turned back to a man in a government uniform and said: "Sir, this hairpin is beautiful, I want this one..."

The official frowned and said: "Didn't I just buy you one yesterday? Why do you want more..."

The woman grabbed his arm, shook it hard, and said angrily: "No, I want it, I want it, I just want it..."

"Okay, okay..."

The officer hurriedly agreed. Now that he hears her say "I want", his legs will go weak unconsciously. The saying that a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold is all a lie. He was a good girl before marriage, but how could she be like this after marriage...

He held his waist up out of habit, looked at the businessman and asked, "How can I sell this hairpin?"

"Your Majesty, you have such a good eye!" When the businessman saw him picking out the hairpin, his eyes lit up and he said, "This is the hairpin that Queen Wende wore when she committed suicide. It is a priceless treasure..."

"Who are you lying to? Which queen committed suicide? If you talk nonsense again and take you to see the official!" The official glared at him. If the county magistrate hadn't asked them to treat these businessmen better, just based on the lies he just fabricated, he would have been It was enough to make him shed a layer of skin.

"It's Empress Wende of Wu Kingdom!" The businessman shook his head hurriedly and said: "My lord, you can take a closer look. With this style and material, this is really a royal thing. If this wasn't for Jingguo, I don’t dare to sell it either…”

The official looked at him, shook his head and said, "Just tell me how much it will cost."

"One thousand taels!" The businessman from the Wu Kingdom looked at him and said, "You might as well tell the guest the truth. This hairpin is a relic of Empress Wende of the Wu Kingdom. It can only be sold here. One thousand taels. One thousand taels cannot be sold anymore." Low!”

"let's go!"

The official took the woman's hand, turned around and left. He had to consider a thousand taels and a thousand coins. One thousand taels was not enough to sell him.

The woman also knew that this thing was not something they could afford. After taking a nostalgic look, she could only sigh and leave.

"My guest, don't go, don't go!" Seeing that they were about to leave, the businessman from Wu Kingdom immediately said: "How about reducing it by another two taels, nine hundred and ninety-eight, nine hundred and ninety-eight taels... Hey, my guest, reduce it again. Five hundred taels, four hundred and ninety-eight, four hundred and ninety-eight will do..."

"Wait a minute."

Li Yi picked up the hairpin just now, looked at the businessman from Wu Kingdom, and asked, "You said this is a relic of Queen Wende of Wu Kingdom. Do you have any evidence?"

The businessman from Wu Kingdom was stunned. Unexpectedly, one man left and another one came. The young man in front of him looked much richer than the one just now. Just judging from the clothes of the two female companions around him, You can tell.

The official who just turned around and left stopped when he heard this and looked back at the man's back, wanting to see who he was. He was so stupid that he wanted to spend a thousand taels of silver to buy such a fake. ...Mobile phone users please visit m.read for a better reading experience.
