After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 309 Everything is ready
It was only after Ning Zhiyi left the plum garden that he suddenly remembered that he hadn't done his business.

He sat in the carriage and thought about it carefully, and found that earning money is the real business right now!

As for the complaints of those officials... if I don't listen to it, it doesn't exist!
Tomorrow, close the gate of the Eastern Palace!
He touched his sleeve pocket, and there was a piece of paper inside, on which was the weight loss plan written by Li Chenan.

This... is really difficult!

But for the sake of money, and for the great cause of the future, Ning Zhiyi gritted his teeth and the fat on his face trembled, I must persevere!

The crown prince returned to the East Palace, Li Chen'an was still sitting in the Huamei Pavilion, sipping tea by himself, and carefully sorted out all the plans for the future.

What the prince said was not aimless.

Now he and the second prince Ning Zhixing are incompatible.

Ning Zhixing wanted him to die, and he also wanted to take Ning Zhixing's life in Shuangjiao Mountain.

The third prince is still a little younger, at least from the current point of view, he is still a marginal figure.

Therefore, he needs to support someone who will benefit him in the long run, and the loyal and benevolent Crown Prince is obviously the best candidate.

As for letting him lose weight, it is actually not important, what is tested is whether he has the perseverance to achieve great things.

The money-making industries that the prince said are by no means false.

Li Chen'an hopes to join hands with this prince, and when the Shuangjiao Mountain incident is over, while cleaning up the filth on the temple, he wants to start the business that he is good at.

Now Ningguo's business can basically be said to be in decline.

According to the information from the Imperial City Division, compared with those surrounding countries, Ningguo has regressed a lot in the past 30 to [-] years, even worse than the newly established Great Wilderness Kingdom!
There are many reasons for this, but the most important point is the collapse of the commercial order. It is the exploitation of merchants by officials at all levels that causes them to lose their enthusiasm for doing business.

Big merchants began to shrink their businesses, while small and medium-sized merchants are now sticking to their own little business, and have no interest in continuing to expand at all.

And doing business is even more difficult.

Not only the bandits on the way, but also the huge business tax from each city.

Of course, the six major clans in Ningguo lived the best life.

Four of the five princes, together with the Jiangnan Shang family and the Annan Qu family, are the biggest chaebols in Ningguo!

Cheng Guogong's mansion controls the four major horse farms in Ningguo.

The Duke of Qi's Mansion holds the most bank accounts in Ning State, such as the most famous Eight Blessing Bank, which is one of the businesses under the Duke of Qi's mansion!

The government of the State of Yan holds the five major mines in Ning State, which account for almost [-]% of Ning State's share of iron smelting.

Luo Guogong's mansion controls the six major salt fields in Ningguo, including the Gongjing Salt Field in Rong County, Shuzhou.

There is only one Duke Huaiguo's mansion, which has now declined, and the water transport that was originally in his hands has now been taken over by the descendants of Prime Minister Shang, the Jiangnan Shang family.

The Jiangnan Shang clan is only a hundred years old and is extremely low-key, but in the files of the Imperial City Division, it has become one of the six major clans by virtue of the Jiangnan silk and water transportation.

As for the Annan Qu family, this family was originally the most prominent family in Yong Kingdom when they were in Yong Kingdom.

Lu Zhanxiao defeated Yong, and it is said that the patriarch of the Qu clan made great contributions.

Therefore, Lu Zhanxiao wiped out the entire family of the Yong Kingdom's royal family, and instead of being implicated, the Qu family got the best tea mountain from the Yong Kingdom's royal family.

The existence of these clans is inevitable in history.

They are attached to the royal family and have made great achievements for the royal family. From the perspective of everyone in this era, they deserve it.

But they have monopolized these most profitable businesses, but these businesses do not have to pay taxes to the country.

They earn more than half of the money of the whole society, but the country's taxes need to be shared by ordinary people and small businessmen.

This is unfair!
But at least for now, Li Chenan has no ability to break this monopoly situation, he can only find another way——

For example, with the help of His Royal Highness the Prince, also go to occupy a mine or a salt field.

Then rely on the technologies I know to increase production and improve products, seize the market with better quality and lower prices, and then slowly defeat them!

This first knife should start from the saltworks of Duke Luo's mansion.

He drank the tea in the cup, stood up with his hands on his knees, and looked out the window.

Looked lonely!
The leaves of those plum trees have withered and turned yellow, even covering the plum garden.

Then...it will bear flower buds on those bare branches, and it will not be until a winter snow comes that they will bloom all over the garden.

Li Chenan was about to go out, but unexpectedly Wang Zhengjinzhong stepped into the door of this painting Meixuan.

"Master Li!"

Wang Zheng Jinzhong bowed his hands and said, "The arrangement has been put in place according to your request. The water bandits in Shuangjiao Lake really used boats to connect Shuangjiao Island and Shuangjiao Mountain, and they are already transporting the food to Shuangjiao Island."

"The Guangling navy led by Master Zhongli Qiuyang is now hiding in the Xiaocong River, which is more than fifty miles away from Shuangjiao Lake, and can attack at any time when your fireworks at Shuangjiao Mountain are a signal."

"Master Changsun sent his subordinates to ask you, when are you going to act?"

Li Chenan pondered for three breaths, "Three days later...that is, the morning of September [-]th, you bring all the soldiers of the Xuanjia Battalion and come here to pick me up!"

Wang Zheng Jinzhong was slightly taken aback, and asked in a low voice, "Shouldn't we go quietly?"

"No, let's go with a lot of fanfare!"

"...Subordinates obey!"

"In addition, Master Eldest Grandson also asked his subordinates to tell you one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"General Wu Mian left the capital within ten days and went to Changle Palace!"

Li Chenan narrowed his eyes slightly, this general Wu Mian didn't have a high sense of presence in the court either.

After the current emperor ascended the throne, he reformed the military system and put all military power under the hands of the Ministry of War and the emperor himself.

The original General's Mansion has thus been emptied into an empty shell. Although the General Wu Mian still stays in that yamen, what he does is no longer formulating military action plans and deploying troops from all over the country, but... Give some suggestions to the Ministry of War or the emperor.

But once upon a time, Sun Jinghong mentioned Wu Mian, who was about fifty years old, and once served as a hussar general in Lu Zhanxiao's hands, and participated in the battle to destroy Yongguo.

He also stayed in the western frontier army, served as the general of the western frontier army, fought against the barbarians of the West Moon Kingdom several times, and won all of them!

Sixteen years ago, at the age of 16, he was in his best condition, but he was transferred from the western frontier army by the emperor and returned to Kyoto.

Master Changsun said that perhaps it had something to do with the fact that he was once a hussar general in Lu Zhanxiao's hands, and he was sent to Xuezang secretly by the emperor.

So why did he go to Changle Palace?
"Send someone to watch Changle Palace!"

"In addition... the other three places in the Four Davids City of Kyoto have also been sent to keep an eye on me!"

"...My lord, the guards of the other three acropolises are all from Cheng Guogong's mansion and Qi Guogong's mansion."

"be careful and live long!"

"Ji Tai is not that stupid!"

"If his real goal is Kyoto... then many people will die!"
