The establishment of a school in Nanping Prefecture blew across the country like a gust of wind, and the officials in Jingzhao were even waiting to see Yan Wanwan’s joke.
The emperor was so happy that he ate one more bowl of rice than usual.
“Haha! Yan Wanwan is indeed arrogant. The people in Nanping Mansion are not the material for studying. If they were not close to Jingzhao, they could have posted a wilderness sign for them.”
Seeing that the emperor was so happy, Eunuch Wu also catered to him in a low voice.
“Sir, the Minister of Revenue comes up.”
“Okay, let him come in!”
The Minister of Revenue comes this time mainly to raise prices in several governments around Nanping Prefecture.
Now the matter has been properly handled, but the procurement channels of Nanping Mansion are not in these mansions. Except for Yan Wanwan who once purchased a large number of chicks there, there was no similar situation.
On the contrary, the people complained about the rise in prices in these governments. There is feed made by Yan Wanwan in Nanping Prefecture. The chicks grow rapidly and are cheap, which has seized a large number of markets. Local people went to Nanping Prefecture to purchase, which made it difficult for local vendors to continue. They are now gathering in the yamen to make trouble!
When the emperor heard this, his face turned pale, and his original good mood disappeared instantly. He shouted angrily: “Waste! You waste! What else can they have besides chickens? The foreigner bought things in Nanping Mansion. The price of resale is high. With the travel expenses in the middle, how could the vendors not be able to do it?”
The Minister of Revenue responded hesitantly: “Go back to the emperor, that’s because even if he buys it, the price is still cheap. In addition to chickens, not only ducks, geese, and pigs are cheaper, but also the price of grain. They also have their cloths, even the rouge and water used by women are more exquisite than Jingzhao, and the jewelry is even more exquisite. Even the noble girls of Jingzhao went to Nanping Mansion to purchase.”
As every word he said, the emperor’s face turned darker, “Where did she get the bargain?”
The Minister of Revenue’s head lowered deeper, “No, I don’t know.”
“Waste!”
The teacup hit the Minister of Revenue hard, and the emperor was walking in the spot in anger. He said to himself: “Yan Wanwan, a female liar, must not be so capable. It seems that it was made by Qin Yu. They are really ambitions.”
Eunuch Wu and the Minister of Revenue pursed their lips tightly and did not dare to speak. After hearing the emperor vent their venting, he finally said calmly: “What do you do?”
“Weichen believes that the price raised should be adjusted back.”
After saying that, the Minister of Revenue was in a guilty forehead and sweated coldly. He was completely unconfident, and the hall was silent.
The emperor stared at him without saying a word, as if questioning: Is this a good idea you gave me?
As the situation in Nanping Prefecture became increasingly tense, he finallyWe can only use this method to solve the status quo.
After all, Nanping Prefecture has restricted foreigners from purchasing. Can people in Nanping Prefecture not allow the people in Nanping Prefecture to purchase and sell it?
Even the court cannot stretch their hands so long. This is not just a simple business issue, but behind it is the emperor’s helpless move after weighing the pros and cons.
Yan Wanwan knew the little movements of the court, but she had no intention of caring about it. She did not rely on the court, but on the confidence she gave herself.
She firmly believed that she could achieve self-sufficiency in Nanping Prefecture, just like when she vigorously developed agriculture and commerce in Nanping Prefecture, making the entire prefecture’s economy gradually prosperous.
