Princess Changle finally looked at the bandaged little eunuch and confirmed that he was still alive before leaving the horse farm.

She didn't know that after experiencing such a thing, Emperor Jing and Emperor had already made a decision to never stop riding a horse with their own utmost care.

If the kick just now was hitting Princess Changle, what would it be like?

If Princess Changle hadn't liked this jujube horse very much, he would have wanted to send the horse out of the palace and hand it over to the soldiers of the Yulin Guard for use.

He sent Princess Changle back to Sihao Palace, and Emperor Jinghe asked Liu Mingqi to accompany him for a walk.

Walking was just an excuse, and he was just talking about things with the teenager.

Unconsciously, after several successive suggestions, Liu Mingqi has become a dog-headed military advisor, Jing Hedi.

"Mingqi, your cheap rice porridge and big steamed buns are still selling?" the emperor asked.

"exist."

“When will it end?”

"It depends on how long our food can last." Liu Mingqi scratched her head, "The 20,000 stones of grain I arrived before should be used for another ten days!"

"When Miao Taisheng talked with the grain merchants before, they donated 53,000 stones of grain and stored it in the warehouse." Emperor Jing He said casually, "You find someone to drag the grain away and work as much as possible for as long as possible!"

The boy smiled, "What, Lord Miao wants to compensate me?"

"Nonsense!" Jing Hedi cursed, "He doesn't have this idea, and this food is in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is my idea. Isn't it the case that you come to provide disaster relief and the emperor comes to provide disaster relief? It's the same."

I have to say that when Emperor Jing He was doing serious business, he was still very broad-minded.

He gave the food directly to Prince Yu's Mansion, which was equivalent to promoting his good reputation to Prince Yu's Mansion.

You know, this Majesty issued a self-criticism some time ago, and his reputation also needs to be responded to actively.

"All right!"

Liu Mingqi was also readily and immediately agreed: "To be honest, the people in Miaoweilou have worked very hard during this period. All the old wives who can be used in our mansion have been sent there. In addition, the employment of the soap workshop and the flower essential oil workshop made it seem that the staff in Prince Yu's mansion was seriously insufficient. My parents are planning to see how to recruit people."

"This is pretty good." Jing Hedi nodded, "Although the locust plague has passed, many people have lost their year of life. If you recruit more people, you can naturally help many families overcome difficulties."

The emperor of the Dakang Dynasty was never afraid that the nobles and royal families had many servants and servants, and these had no military power at all. If they were used to rebel, it would undoubtedly be a joke.

The Prince Yu Mansion itself is one of the fewest servants among all the prince’s mansions, with only more than 300 people.

Even if they increased to more than 1,000, it was not the largest. Even several princes and princes who were doing big business had more than 2,000 people in the mansion.

Liu Mingqi agreed with Jing Hedi’s idea.

From the perspective of modern economics, hiring a labor force from a family can ensure the food and clothing of a family, drive their consumption capacity, and thus increase the economic vitality of the market.

Although such an individual is too small, if one hundred thousand businessmen hires one more person, the increase in economic vitality will be very considerable.

Even in this ancient times, the economic vitality that a thousand people could leverage was not underestimated.

Unfortunately, the law cannot be perfected in a country where the ruler's power is supreme. The ultimate dream of the Legalists has not yet been realized, so many modern economic activities cannot be realized here.

After talking about the food, Emperor Jing He remembered another thing: "Your measures to exchange for locusts are also being implemented?"

"certainly."

Liu Mingqi said proudly: "Now, many people will take the initiative to ask for an extra bag of fried locusts after buying rice porridge and big steamed buns. It is said that the children at home like this kind of snack, and they are very happy to eat."

Emperor Jing He was also happy when he heard this, "If we had enough manpower to catch all the locusts and give them to the children for food, it would be a merit!"

After a pause, he suddenly looked stern again: "Mingqi, you must not give it to Nianyu, otherwise I will not spare you!"

"Ahem, am I that kind of person?" the boy shouted injustice, "The princess is also my niece. She has been spoiled since she was a child. I was also worried that she would feel uncomfortable after eating it."

OK.

It turns out that Liu Mingqi didn’t come with the locusts because she was worried that the little princess would have a stomachache after eating it, but she didn’t have this idea.

Emperor Jinghe was also rare to say about him. As he walked, he couldn't help but sigh: "Why did locusts suddenly appear in this world? And it's so irresistible? Is it really God condemning me for being unethical?"

"Definitely not."

Liu Mingqi has a firm decisive way.

He said to himself, that is, your Majesty, you don’t understand science, otherwise I, a PhD in physics and chemistry, can explain to you why locusts are flooded.

In a professional way, the compound 4-vinylanisole (4VA) has a strong attraction to different development stages and genders of socio-type and diaspora, and locates the olfactory receptor O in the locust cone sensor as a specific receptor of 4VA.

However, this theory has been proposed, but the complete solution has not yet been released. Otherwise, there would not be a flood of hundreds of billions of locusts in Africa.

But no matter what, this has nothing to do with the emperor's failure to be virtuous and God punished him.

Seeing Liu Mingqi's answer so firmly, Jing Hedi was very pleased.

This kid is not only tired but also very sarcastic, but his heart is still very good.

"But then again, I, the emperor, was quite a failure." Emperor Jing He said, "In the thirty years since he succeeded to the throne, it seems that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, but there has never been enough granaries across the country or the silver in the Ministry of Revenue.

Thinking of the fact that when the saints were alive, they had too much food to be moldy and the copper coins were stored and the ropes were rotten. How could I not see such a prosperous era?”

Liu Mingqi understood Jing Hedi's mood.

But Jing Hedi did not say it in more detail.

His father died of illness in just a few years after he succeeded to the throne. His grandfather was extremely extravagant and wanted to fight everywhere and fight the big pit left by Emperor Jinghe.

Thanks to Jinghe's period between one year and twenty years, it was generally quite good. There were many capable ministers and generals in the court. With the efforts of many parties, they finally made up for the broken mountains and rivers.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but in the past ten years, disasters have occurred everywhere. Although it is not so fatal, it also caused the situation that the emperor said was not surplus food and money.

Because every time you save a little, disaster will come soon and you will use the inventory almost the same.

Under such a cycle, Dakang Chao looked good on the surface, but his foundation was a bit weak.

Take the past seven years as an example. The northwest has suffered a drought, Guangdong has suffered a flood, Fujian has suffered a typhoon, Yunmengze has suffered a breakdown, and there is another serious locust plague from Shandong to the two lakes... The dynasty with a little life is probably like our Ming Dynasty, and it is heading towards the road of no return.

Fortunately, there have been no major wars in the northwest, southwest and northeastern borders over the years. Overall, it is still peaceful, otherwise the court's finances would be absolutely worrying.

To describe it in modern terms, Da Kang Chao is like a happy bachelor who has no worries about food and drink, but if you want to get married, buy a house and buy a car, you will be completely stunned.

"Disasters always happen, but as long as they can overcome them, it is a good thing." Liu Mingqi said carefully: "In my opinion, after these hard days, a good day is coming."

He remembered his sweet potatoes.

With sweet potatoes, you can solve the problem of eating.

In ancient times, as long as people had something to eat, everything would be stable and all suffering would not be bitter.

But Jing and Emperor didn't know that, he thought the boy was comforting him, and shook his head and smiled unconsciously.

Although these days are very difficult, as Mingqi said, what else can I do besides defeating it?

I have the hope of more than ten thousand people!

Seeing this, Liu Mingqi said, "Actually, your Majesty, don't be anxious. These salt merchants have always squandered their money. Instead of letting them waste money, it is better to cut some of their meat frequently, so the court will naturally be much more abundant."

Jing and Di laughed silently and said, "That's the case, but every time they cut their flesh, isn't there any rules? Can temporary salt rays be sent again and again?"

He also knew the wealth of salt merchants, but the emperor was still unwilling to do things that repeatedly break the rules.

"Temporary salt induction is just a method. This time they are also smart, otherwise I will have a way to wait for them." Liu Mingqi smiled, "But it's a bit scary to say it. I'm afraid you won't dare to do it."

"explain!"

Jing Hedi waved.

"Abolish the salt introduction system and change it to the ticketed salt system." Liu Mingqi said, "The world is no longer divided into twelve outlines. All salt merchants can sell anywhere as long as you have a way, increasing their competition and forcing salt prices to fall.

It can even break the system of vain, so that any businessman can buy salt tickets to sell them everywhere as long as he has money. No matter how much capital it is, he can do it within his own means and come and go."

Emperor Jing He was stunned when he heard this.

After thinking about it carefully, sweat came out of the palm of your hand.

"Mingqi, don't say this to me again!" Emperor Jinghe immediately ordered: "If you do this, there will be a big trouble in the world!"

Liu Mingqi shrugged and did not provoke the emperor again, saying, "You really dare not do it."

After all, the boy also understood that not every emperor dared to do such things.

If it weren't for Mr. Tao Zilin holding his head and resolutely promoting this matter, coupled with the changing situation in China at that time and the great changes that were rare in five thousand years, I'm afraid this ticket and salt system would not have been implemented.

Want to break this tradition that has been inherently thousands of years

Want to touch the interests of so many people

It's difficult!
