Joy of Life: Starting from the Prince of Zhennan in Northern Qi!

Chapter 144: If you don’t have money, go to the merchants! The merchants take the blame!
Yang Xiu knew very well what the difficulties were facing Nan Qing now.

strength?
Yang Xiu has no shortage of this, whether it is soldiers or high-end combat power.

Now Yang Xiu can be said to have crushed Nanqing.

The only thing that Yang Xiu found difficult was that the people of Nanqing were too united.

The sense of belonging is too strong.

Everybody is a soldier, this is no joke.

Therefore, Yang Xiu needed to undermine the unity of the people of Nanqing.

Everything Yang Xiu did was for this purpose.

Even now.

The development of Northern Qi was one aspect, but the main purpose was to create chaos within Southern Qing first.

For a country, the economy and military all need to develop together.

Just imagine, businessmen pursue profit.

If Northern Qi's economy was good enough, the merchants in Southern Qing would see that Northern Qi was profitable.

Will it come towards Northern Qi?

You are patriotic, indeed, but you can’t not make money.

Even if there is a really stubborn person who wants to stay in Nanqing wholeheartedly, he will not care about what happens in Beiqi.

However, as the economy of Northern Qi gets better and better, its economic radiation will naturally reach Southern Qing.

As long as you are a businessman, you cannot escape this category.

Therefore, the final result is obvious: the business of Northern Qi is getting better and better, and the people are getting richer and richer.

On the other hand, Nanqing will slowly decline.

The inner treasury has been attacked by Yang Xiu.

Therefore, Neiku cannot engage in monopoly business.

Then Nanqing would have lost a source of fiscal revenue.

Nothing seems to be apparent in the short term.

But as time goes by, one thing gains while the other loses.

The people of Nanqing will naturally be dissatisfied.

After all, everyone wants to be rich and enjoy a comfortable life.

But if those in power cannot do this.

Naturally, the people would not be happy.

This is a conspiracy.

Unless Nanqing can find a way to open up new sources of income.

Or simply imitate the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Otherwise, they could only watch Northern Qi become stronger day by day.

But they wanted to imitate the Northern Qi Dynasty and replicate the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Is it that simple?

Not to mention anything else, Nanqing doesn’t have cement.

Because Ye Qingmei didn't keep this thing.

Emperor Qing was still too impatient.

Not to mention anything else, if Ye Qingmei was given ten more years.

Even Yang Xiu would have trouble facing Nan Qing.

Because Ye Qingmei will not give up her idea of ​​changing Nan Qing.

So slowly Ye Qingmei will take out more things.

It might even allow Nanqing to enter the era of hot weapons earlier.

At that time, Yang Xiudu could only use the most stupid method, which was to destroy Nanqing directly and then suppress it by force.

It is very convenient and simple, but it has consequences.

Unfortunately, Emperor Qing could not tolerate Ye Qingmei.

In other words, Ye Qingmei's ideals are in serious conflict with imperial power.

Plus Fan Xian’s birth.

Emperor Qing could only act anxiously.

If Yang Xiu wasn't there, there wouldn't be any impact.

It's a pity that one step was wrong and the other was wrong.

Reopened departments.

Yang Xiu handed it over to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Now the court is stable.

The Queen Mother no longer had any backup plan.

Therefore, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui can free up their hands.

Yang Xiu was worried about leaving it to other people.

They are the only two who have the memories granted by the system.

Although there were too many things that the two of them did not understand, they understood the general meaning.

I can also better share the same thinking with Yang Xiu.

Of course, Yang Xiu couldn't do these things himself. Of course, he had to hand them over to his subordinates.

Yang Xiu can only set the general tone.

After the next court.

Yang Xiu went to stay with Zhan Doudou for a while.

Then he returned to the small courtyard full of crabapple blossoms.

Compared to home, Yang Xiu likes Haitang Duoduo more.

Comfortable, pastoral life.

Yang Xiu likes it very much too.

As for Chen Pingping.

Ren Ruyi has been keeping an eye on it personally for the past two days.

Chen Pingping didn't mind at all.

Say what you should say and do what you should do.

I don't mind having a camera around me at all.

According to Ren Ruyi's report.

During these two days, Ye Qingmei and Chen Pingping just chatted about family matters.

Didn't say anything useful.

Neither of them even mentioned what happened back then.

It was like two old friends meeting, that's all.

In the blink of an eye.

A week passes in a flash

Yang Xiu even thought that this damn Chen Pingping was planning to stay in Northern Qi forever.

This guy doesn't seem to want to leave at all.

That day, Yang Xiu finished his lunch.

Sit in the rocking chair in the yard and bask in the sun.

Begonia Duoduo was making tea nearby.

Fang Xuanling ran over in a hurry.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Yang Xiu yawned.

"Calm down! You are in a high position now, why are you so irritable? What's wrong?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Highness! We have no money!"

Yang Xiu nodded.

He had already guessed it.

The economy of Northern Qi was developing rapidly, and the little money in the treasury was of little use.

Yang Xiu said, "How's the bank?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Some people have already started to deposit money in banks! Our banknotes have also begun to be used! However, some big businessmen are still waiting and watching!"

Yang Xiu nodded: "Yeah! As expected!"

Fang Xuanling said: "But these big businessmen don't save money! We don't have enough money! The project will be stopped!"

Yang Xiu said: "This is very simple! Now the straight road has been built out of Shangjing, right?"

Fang Xuanling nodded: "Yes! It has begun to gradually cover the original official road!"

Yang Xiu said: "That's easy! Issue a notice in the name of the court! The next straight road can be given to these merchants to contract! They will be responsible for the construction of the straight road and the subsequent maintenance!"

Fang Xuanling said, "How could these merchants agree to this? Your Highness! They are not fools!"

Yang Xiu said: "Merchants pursue profits, just give them benefits!"

Fang Xuanling scratched his head: "Benefits? Where is the benefit from building roads!"

Yang Xiu told Fang Xuanling about the toll collection, the operations behind it, the contracting and so on.

Fang Xuanling was shocked: "Can we do this? But the straight path itself is beneficial to the country and the people! If we accept money, will we be labeled as competing with the people for profit?"

Yang Xiu waved his hand: "So! Didn't I tell you that it's contracted to merchants! Then it has nothing to do with us!"

Fang Xuanling's eyes widened: "Is that the truth?"

Yang Xiu nodded, what else?
People of this era have limited thinking.

This would be a very normal thing in later generations, but here, it has to be thrown directly to the merchants to operate.

Of course, until the people get used to it.

This business still needs to be taken over by the court.

But before that, it’s better to let the merchants take the blame.

In fact, if the straight road is used on ordinary people, it really doesn't make much money.

The real place to make money is from the businessmen.

When merchants transport goods, there are straight roads available, so they naturally won't take rugged mountain roads.

After all, straight roads are convenient and the speed is fast enough.

Save time and earn more money!
