Another golden sentence

"Good stuff, really good stuff."

Emperor Hongwen had seen these things and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Wanfu's head is really powerful.

Today he has learned a lot.

"Princess, can this water tanker, pressurized water well, and vegetable greenhouse be used elsewhere?"

Wen Songtao was also surprised and sighed.

"Of course, this is not a difficult thing."

"That"

"If you want it, I will ask Qiu Shuang to sort out the drawings and methods later and give them to you."

These things are nothing to Lu Yaoyao, just spread them out.

"Okay, okay, I would like to thank the princess for all the people in the world."

"Why are you so polite to me? By the way, I also have a plow that is twice as efficient as the previous plow and can be pulled by an ox. I will sort it out for you later."

"Princess Wanfu is truly worthy of the title given by Your Majesty. She is truly a blessing to all people in the world. I admire her."

At this time, the founding emperor was completely convinced by Lu Yaoyao.

Originally, he came here just for his daughter's sake, and Lu Yaoyao was a pretty good person, so he just wanted to walk around casually.

But now, he feels that such a person must have a close friendship, he is too capable.

Being friends with such people will bring many benefits to them.

"Your Majesty, thank you very much. They are just gadgets that I used to free up when I had nothing to do."

"It's just a gadget to you, but to the people all over the world, it's an extremely good thing."

The eldest princess also looked at Lu Yaoyao with great satisfaction at this time.

"You are truly a lucky star given to Dongzhou by God."

"Your Majesty, Wanfu's achievements this time are not small. Shouldn't he be rewarded?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen nodded quickly, but then he became a little embarrassed.

Because I don’t know how to reward him.

Seeing this, the eldest princess smiled and reminded: "A princess can have a fief, and Wanfu is a hereditary princess, so she should also have a fief."

"Yes, yes, Wanfu, I promise you that one town will be your fiefdom, and you can choose all the places in Dongzhou?"

"A fiefdom in a town?"

Lu Yaoyao's eyes widened, he didn't expect such an unexpected gain.

"Will this fiefdom be under the control of female ministers from now on?"

"Theoretically, yes, officials can be recommended by you, or arranged by the court, and the tax revenue of that town will be yours."

The eldest princess explained with a smile.

"That's it."

Lu Yaoyao nodded and then said, "Any choice?"

"Any choice."

Emperor Hongwen waved his hand rather proudly.

"Then I will go to Shuangqi Town, which is five miles away from here."

Shuangqi Town is located on the outskirts of Beijing. Speaking of which, Chengyuan Villa also falls under the jurisdiction of Shuangqi Town.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, to be honest with Your Majesty, I plan to build some workshops and a commercial street in the future. I need a place. I originally thought of arranging it in Chengyuan Villa. Although it will be smaller, it will be okay."

"Now that your Majesty has rewarded me with such a favor, he says it is a great thing for me."

Upon hearing her words, Emperor Hongwen smiled and nodded.

"Well, from now on, that Shuangqi Town will be your fiefdom, Princess Wanfu. I will issue an imperial edict after I return to the palace."

"But what's going on with your workshop and commercial street? Can you tell me about it?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded repeatedly.

"Of course, but it's not convenient here. Let's go to the greenhouse to talk."

The group returned to the greenhouse again, and by this time all the Lu family members had left.

In the greenhouse, Lu Yaoyao expressed his thoughts about his workshop and the commercial street.

She plans to build many workshops so that she can sell her goods in the commercial street, or attract other merchants to do business in the commercial street.

"This is a good idea. I wonder if the workshop masters of the princess can participate in it?"

Founding Hou currently has no official position, but has invested in some small businesses.

"sure."

"Actually, to tell you the truth, I originally planned to ask His Majesty to also become a shareholder."

"Oh? You never leave me behind."

Emperor Hongwen smiled and remembered the two previous times Lu Yaoyao went to the imperial study to discuss business with him.

Feelings: This girl has already been thinking about discussing business for the third time, right?

However, he was also quite interested in the business streets and workshops. After seeing Lu Yaoyao's creative ability, he was looking forward to those workshops even more.

"Not only is Your Majesty there, but I also think about the people."

"My daughter has divided the share of each workshop into ten shares, and I have two shares. If Your Majesty wants to participate, I can give you three shares."

"Of the remaining five shares, my family, the Lu family, holds one share. That leaves four shares. My original idea was to give two more shares to friends and choose to attract investment for the remaining two shares."

“What is investment promotion?”

The eldest princess asked curiously.

"I just take out these two shares and recruit those who are interested in joining to become shareholders."

"My daughter's idea is to subdivide these two shares into two hundred shares. For example, if each share is ten taels of silver, then these two hundred shares are two thousand taels of silver."

"In this way, ordinary people can also buy it. When the workshop makes money, it will be divided into dividends according to its share."

"This is a good idea."

Wen Songtao immediately put his hands on his hands and spoke.

"Since then, I have done good things for the people."

"How to say?"

Emperor Hongwen was still a little unable to react.

"Your Majesty, if you think about it, if these two hundred shares were all distributed to the people, for example, one family would get one share, and two hundred shares would be two hundred households. If the workshop makes money, these two hundred households would get dividends, and maybe they wouldn't be able to get their capital back at once.

, but as long as the workshop is there, they will continue to receive dividends."

"It's not easy for people to make money. Having this income is a good thing for a family."

"And it's also good for the country."

Lu Yaoyao suddenly answered.

"There is a saying that the people are rich and the country is strong, and there is another saying that wealth is hidden in the people."

"If the people are prosperous and the country is strong, wealth is hidden in the people?"

Emperor Hongwen and others repeated the two words Lu Yaoyao said in a low voice, and their hearts were shocked.

"If a country wants to be strong, it must not only develop its military, but also develop its production."

"With the development of production and the prosperity of the people, more income can be created for the country. If the people have no money, how will the country collect taxes?"

“Forcibly expropriating and squeezing the people’s living space to enrich the national treasury, or in other words, to nourish corrupt officials, over time, the people’s hearts and minds will inevitably be lost.”

"The people are the water, and the king is the boat. Water can carry the boat but also capsize it. If the people cannot survive, they will inevitably rebel. There are many cases of dynasties in ancient times."

"The kings of many dynasties, because they have been in high positions for a long time, will only indulge in power, but they have forgotten the original intention of founding the country in the first place."

Everyone was shocked again by her words.

Especially this golden sentence that the people are the water and the king is the boat. The water can carry the boat but also capsize it. It is even more enlightening and thought-provoking.

After a while, Emperor Hongwen was the first to react and asked, "What is the original intention of founding the country?"
