When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 613 Peasant Woman 41
Everyone just smiled and no one said anything. Everyone could see that Tan You had the ambition to rule the Central Plains. If that was the case, how could she give up the kingdom she had worked so hard to build?

Only a fool would do such a thing.

"Let's not talk about claiming the throne for now. If we claim the throne now, we will only become the target of public criticism. We should first govern the current place well."

Naturally, everyone believed in Tan You. It is easy to conquer an empire, but difficult to keep it. It is obviously even more difficult to govern it well.

Chen Xi: "Mother, now that you are back, is it time for you to come to the state capital to work?"

Tan You glared: "I just came back and haven't even warmed up my chair yet, and you want me to work? I won't go, aren't you doing a good job? Everything should go according to your plan."

Before Chen Xi could say anything else, Tan You said meaningfully, "As for me, I just want to live a relaxed life in the future. Don't ask me to do such laborious work."

"I have always trained you as my successor. Don't let me down."

Chen Xi said nothing more: "Mother, I understand. I will do it well."

Tan You nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, you are the successor I carefully trained, and you should shoulder the heavy responsibility. The future always belongs to you young people."

Chen Xi nodded and agreed: "Mother, I understand."

Tan You really doesn't want to be an emperor. She prefers to stay in the workshop and research new things rather than occupy a high position. It can be said that she has the brain of an engineering student and prefers a simple and pure life.

In the past, he did all this for self-protection. After all, in troubled times, is it really safe to live in a corner? Obviously not. After he had enclosed a large area for himself, Tan You finally felt a little relieved.

After she went to the workshop, the workshop had many more products. In the past, Youzhou's main products were soap, mosquito coils, wool products, etc. Although they made a lot of money, the products were too thin.

However, less than a month after Tan You arrived at the workshop, Chen Xi received various blushers, eye shadows, eyebrow pencils, eyebrow powders, lipsticks and other cosmetics. At the same time, Tan You also produced hydrosols, essences, perfumes and so on.

Chen Xi held a box of 24-color lipsticks and couldn't help but sigh: "If the women of the rich and powerful families saw this, how crazy would they be? No wonder you always say that money from women and children is the easiest to make."

Tan You smiled slightly: "In fact, it is easy to make money from men, provided that you can scratch their itch. How much paper inventory does the papermaking workshop have accumulated?"

Chen Xi: "There are ten warehouses. Who doesn't know that the paper in Youzhou is of good quality and low price? When the caravans come to Youzhou, they will definitely bring paper back."

Tan You nodded slightly: "Okay, I plan to start burning glass next month, and then I will show you something good."

Tan You was really fed up with the bronze mirrors of this era. Not only were they not clear, but they were also expensive and needed to be polished from time to time. With glass, she could make mirrors, and by then, she would definitely make a lot of money.

Chen Xi looked at Tan You and said, "Mother, you are amazing. Before, the tribesmen racked their brains to make paper. But since you came back, it seems that you have never encountered any trouble."

Tan You said calmly: "You will understand later."

She guessed that Chen Xi should have some guesses, but Tan You said nothing. When she came to this world, Chen Xi was already seven years old and knew a lot.

Over the years, she has taught several children by example, and these people should have seen the difference in her. But they can't help but not ask, and Tan You won't take the initiative to say it, so the two sides get along tacitly.

Chen Xi didn't ask any more questions: "Mother, why are you asking about paper?" Tan You: "It's meaningless to always sell paper. We have to attract more literati. Why can those aristocratic families last for thousands of years? It's because they monopolized writing. Ordinary people want to make progress, but they can't find a way."

“I know knowledge costs money, but it shouldn’t be this expensive.”

Chen Xi understood: "Mother, what are you going to do?"

Tan You thought for a moment and said, "You will know in a few days. You should erect a stone tablet in the center of Youzhou, ask the most famous scholar Liu in Youzhou to write an inscription, and then have the craftsmen engrave it on the stone tablet."

"The content is to establish a mind for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry on the lost knowledge of the ancient sages, and to bring peace to the world for all eternity."

"Good! Madam, you have great literary talent!"

The government office was mostly populated by scholars, and when Tan You and Chen Xi spoke these words, they did not avoid the officials next to them. Everyone listened to Tan You's words and couldn't help but cheer loudly.

Tan You waved his hand: "I only know a few words, how can I say such a deafening sentence? This is what I heard someone say, so I wrote it down, but it's not what I said."

Chen Xi pursed her lips: "Mother, I will do it. What else? What do you need me to do next?"

"Next," Tan You thought for a moment, "Next is to wait for a steady stream of scholars to pour into Youzhou. Talent is the most precious, but for thousands of years, the truth has been in the hands of Confucianism."

"You have the scholars in your hands, which means you have the right to speak for the future."

Chen Xi thought for a long time: "Mother, I understand."

"Okay, although books are expensive these days, they shouldn't be that expensive. One tael of silver for a book, is this going to bankrupt a family?"

Tan You complained: "You can do this in a big way. The bigger the impact and the more controversial it is, the better."

Chen Xi nodded. She was taught by Tan You. Tan You and she talked about almost everything. Chen Xi easily knew Tan You's subsequent plan. She wanted to lower the price of the book.

"Mother, if we do this, we in Youzhou will be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the aristocratic families."

Tan You snorted and laughed: "Even if we don't do these things, wouldn't Youzhou be a thorn in their eyes? These people just don't have an excuse to attack us."

"Instead of being timid, we should control the people's hearts and minds. These aristocratic families occupy most of the resources on this land, but even so, they still have to compete with the people for profits."

"One day..."

Tan You didn't say anything else, but everyone could hear the murderous intent. Chen Xi couldn't help but mourn for those aristocratic families. Her mother hated aristocratic families the most. When they really competed for the Central Plains, she estimated that these aristocratic families would not be able to get away with it.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but smile. The future was still long, so she should live the present life well first. This was the right way.

A large stone tablet was erected in the center of Youzhou, and the four sentences engraved on it were immediately widely spread. Even if you read these sentences countless times, they are still deafening.
