"You will know this later."

After saying that, Lu Yaoyao stood up and walked towards the study.

Since we are preparing to build a factory, the land on the farm must be carefully planned.

She will stay at the farm for a long time in the future, and there is a high possibility that the Lu family will return to Kyoto in the future.

In a place like Kyoto, the foundation and heritage of the Lu family are really not enough.

Even if the four things she presented could win some fame for the Lu family, it would still not be enough.

If you want to ensure the safety of the Lu family, relying on fame alone is far from enough.

It's best to need something practical.

It was like an unprecedented commercial empire that controlled the entire hub of all walks of life in Eastern Continent.

She is not planning to turn the Lu family into the second Han family.

But to surpass the current Han family.

First of all, although the Han family was strong, Emperor Hongwen had been holding back his energy to touch them.

Maybe there is no chance now, but what about in the future?

Therefore, although the Han family is powerful, the crisis is also greater. If you are not careful, the whole family will be destroyed.

She doesn't like the Lu family to become the second Han family.

The reason why the Han family became like this was simply because they were too greedy and made Emperor Hongwen jealous.

She plans to take another approach, win-win cooperation, and build the Lu family into a partner of the court and the royal family.

To put it simply, it is to cooperate with the imperial court and the royal family, and use their power to penetrate and control the entire Dongzhou business world step by step.

Of course, if you want to do this, you have to give up a lot of income.

She was happy to give it, and she had even thought about it in her heart. She would give the court 70% of its income, while she and the Lu family only needed 30%.

Money is a good thing, but it can also be a disaster.

She didn't want to work so hard to develop the Lu family, only to end up becoming a cash machine for the royal family and the court.

Therefore, she needs to give away the bulk from the beginning, firstly to show her sincerity, and secondly to paralyze the other party.

Once she takes control of the entire Dongzhou commercial hub, the imperial court will not be able to touch her and will not dare to touch her.

We can only maintain a cooperative relationship, and only when their Lu family is stable can Dongzhou be stable.

Of course, this is a big plan and it is not easy to implement. It needs to be done slowly and step by step.

The first step of the plan is to win over Emperor Hongwen, hoping to win him over and let him vigorously support the early development of the Lu family.

What she had to do was to target the nobles. The books and papers had already been handed over, and this was the bait she gave them.

Let Emperor Hongwen taste the sweetness first, so that subsequent cooperation can proceed steadily.

The greatest benefit, to put it bluntly, is the bait she gave, and it is also the greatest protective talisman for the Lu family.

She stayed in the study until almost noon, then got up and went to the Baizhen Building in front.

Yesterday I had an appointment with His Royal Highness the King of Jin for lunch.

As soon as she entered the box on the top floor and sat down, there was a knock on the door.

King Jin walked in with Yan San with a smile.

"I kept you waiting for a long time, Mr. Wanfu Township."

"I have just arrived. Your Highness, Prince Jin, please take a seat."

When King Jin sat down, Lu Yaoyao turned his head and glanced at Qiu Shuang.

Qiu Shuang took out the things Lu Yaoyao had prepared before and put them on the table in front of King Jin.

"This is?"

"This is my thank you gift, and it is also my explanation to His Highness Prince Jin."

Hearing this, King Jin looked at Lu Yaoyao with a smile in his eyes, and he knew that this girl was a sensible person.

"You're welcome, Mr. Xiang."

"I have also heard about the affairs of the Lu family, and I understand very well what the Lord of the countryside has done."

"I have never been dissatisfied in my heart, so these words of explanation are really serious."

"I accept this love from you, thank you so much, Mr. Xiang."

Lu Yaoyao waved his hands and said, "You don't have to be so formal. I'm a more straightforward person."

"If you treat me as a friend, then I will treat you as a friend."

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, first check to see if there is anything you don't understand."

Prince Jin smiled and nodded, without any hesitation, he directly picked up the big envelope in front of him.

Inside are some things compiled by Lu Yaoyao, about sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Now that Sweet Potato and Potato have exploded, her cooperation with King Jin may be interrupted in the next few years.

So she needs to find a solution once and for all.

A quarter of an hour later, King Jin finished reading and frowned.

"Why does Prince Jin think it's inappropriate?"

"It's not inappropriate, but I'm afraid it might be a little difficult."

What Lu Yaoyao wrote was about how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, as well as suggestions for making the people of the Jin Dynasty self-sufficient.

She didn't know how many people King Jin had under his command, but judging from the headache he had from selling grain every year, it should be no less.

"Oh? How difficult is this?"

"Those people under me are very arrogant. Xiangjun's suggestion is very good, but I'm afraid they won't accept it."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao sneered.

"Why do you dare to work for your King Jin, but you don't want to farm your own land?"

“Or do they think farming is a menial job?”

She really couldn't understand this ancient class division. Why did the vast number of farmers do the hardest work and feed the people of the country, but look down on others like this?

If there were no farmers working hard, what would those high-ranking scholarly families, gentry, nobles, officials, etc., eat and drink?

"this"

Prince Jin himself didn't have many such thoughts, but everyone else thought so.

His subordinates followed him, but he asked them to do such despicable things, fearing that they would cause dissatisfaction.

Originally, he felt very sorry for these brothers because of the food issue, and now he felt very sorry for them.

It's not that he doesn't know the benefits of doing this, but he doesn't know how to say it.

"How much money can I save the King of Jin in one year with this method?"

Lu Yaoyao suddenly asked.

King Jin quickly calculated it in his mind, feeling a little shaken.

"It should be quite a lot, right?"

King Jin nodded.

"Then if you use the money to buy other things, how much can you get?"

King Jin's expression was shocked again, and his eyes narrowed.

In previous years, the amount of money he needed to buy grain and grass for a year was at least one hundred and two hundred thousand taels. If all these were saved, he could indeed buy a lot of things.

"If you take some of this money and give it to your brothers, what will happen to them?"

"Or if you use some of it to improve their lives, what should they do?"

King Jin was speechless, which was of course very good.

Those brothers who followed him not only wanted to be loyal, but also wanted their families to have stability, and having more money would be great.

If you follow what Lu Yaoyao said, it is indeed a good thing. Why didn't you think of it before?

It's not that he didn't think about it, it's just that he never thought about it. After all, letting his brothers farm the land is not easy to talk about, and it's something he has never thought about.

"I won't go into details. Prince Jin is a smart man and should be able to understand the benefits that such an approach will bring."

"I'm not afraid of killing people in the field, so what's so scary about farming?"

"I really can't understand."

Prince Jin looked at her deeply, folded the things in his hands solemnly, and put them away close to his body.

"The words of the local gentleman are like a revelation to me."

"It's just that my mind was narrow-minded before."
