Chapter 123: The queen mother who brought disaster to the country and the people 26

Under the intentional guidance of Luo Wei, in the past two years, Yangping County Master didn't know much about the affairs of the government and did not care much, and was busy doing some charity work.

Yes, charity, organizing some rich and leisure ladies, opening Tzu Chi halls in various places, and adopting some orphans and abandoned babies.

Through this kind of action, they not only enriched their spiritual world, but also successfully realized their own value, and also won a lot of praise, and they were admired by the two families.

I just heard people around me mention from time to time what the queen mother did, what new rules she made, how she lost her temper, and who was the official.

But she didn't take it to heart, her daughter became more and more powerful, and her character became more and more left-handed. Instead of listening to persuasion, her father and father-in-law became more and more Listening to her daughter's command is not something she can worry about.

So, in her impression, Luo Wei has been busy fighting with the big ministers, trying to do tricks, how could she have the energy and ability to be a golden hand.

But seeing her so determined at this moment, Yangping County Master couldn't help but feel a little moved.

She brought a group of noble ladies to open a Tzu Chi Hall, which was also very expensive. Although the palace and the Ministry of Household have subsidies, those noble ladies and businessmen will also donate.

But charity has always been a bottomless pit, with limited income, but it will never be enough to spend.

not much.

So, her previous idea was that she didn't bring the goods herself, waiting for the dividends from the boaters.

But at this moment, not only did she fail to persuade Luo Wei, but she also felt a little anxious when she heard these words.

Going out of the small space in the backyard, she put herself above the righteousness of Tzu Chi, and looking at the various hardships and hardships of the common people, she wanted to do many things, the importance of gold and silver goods , she has experienced.

"Listening to you, the opportunity is quite rare. The ship at home is still empty according to the plan, so do I want to prepare some goods? What kind of goods can be guaranteed? Surely it can be sold?"

"Silk, porcelain, tea, etc., there is no problem in sales."

Which other things are guaranteed to sell, Luo Wei is not sure.

Weaving and dyeing products such as silk, as well as all kinds of porcelain, are the products with the highest output in Yuan Guo in recent years. The construction of a large number of related workshops has made the supply begin to exceed the demand.

Even though a lot has been shipped to the surrounding small countries and the wasteland tribes, there is still a serious backlog of products. If there were not dozens of large ships to give the bottom line, Luo Wei would have introduced a relevant system to interfere.

Go, then the loss will be even greater!"

?

In this regard, the princess Yangzhu expressed her doubts, but the prices of textiles and tea were all the queen mother, and she couldn't even hear the sound of water when she invested the money.

"Mother, please rest assured that shipping, even by sea, is less expensive than on land, plus, when storing those china, there will be stuffing around the perimeter, so it will not be damaged. would be too big."

Seeing the questioning of Yangping County Lord, Luo Wei continued.

"Don't look at porcelain here, it's just an ordinary thing, in other places, it has always been in demand. Those big businessmen who do business with foreign countries know this. Look, it's not just me who ordered the palace to stock up like this, those merchants must have prepared like this too!"

Although my heart is still a little uneasy, but after returning to Yangping County, who had long forgotten her original intention, she hesitated a little, and still proposed to her father and father-in-law that she would take all the vacancies on the ship.

I heard that the Yangping County Master made such a lavish move, and thought she went to the palace and got support from the Queen Mother. When she finally put a lot of ordinary quality porcelain into it, everyone understood that the feelings This one doesn't have money either, so take these worthless and rough things to charge up.

At the same time that dozens of large ships full of goods were loaded, domestic production capacity has been suddenly increased in recent years, and the excess product state caused by the imbalance of market supply and demand has been quickly and greatly alleviated.

Luo Wei knew in her heart that with traditional handicraft industry, even if it began to scale, the production efficiency is still not high production capacity, even if the surrounding small countries are not counted, only supplying the upper and lower reaches of the Yuan country, ordinarily should not be Soon enough, signs of excess product began to appear.

In the final analysis, it is the people at the bottom who make up the most, and they are too poor.

When some urban residents have the opportunity to work in some workshops, have a stable income, and improve their spending power, these rural people with the largest number are still in extreme poverty.

People who work very hard every day can have the opportunity to eat half full, and those who are still working hard for food and clothing have no extra spending power except to ensure the necessities of life.

, but they themselves, always have enough to eat, don't wear warm clothes, and don't starve to death, even if they are not bad.

This phenomenon has existed since ancient times, and this social problem that cannot be completely solved until modern society, Luo Wei has no confidence to solve it.

She has been working hard to improve this phenomenon, rectify official governance, and investigate and punish the phenomenon that local officials impose taxes on these low-level people without permission.

Check the landed population of those rich and powerful families, so that they can no longer collude with the government as in the past, and apportion their own taxes to ordinary people recklessly.

Although all these measures are gradually taking effect, they have relieved a lot of the burden on those people and made their lives a lot better, but these are only temporary solutions.

Luo Wei was mentally prepared for this, so at the beginning of her administration, she was eager to insist on opening sea transportation. Some high-yield crops overseas are exactly what she has always put on the most. The goal in mind, the importance, is not under making money.

To this end, she convened a group of officials skilled in agriculture in the Ministry of Industry and sent them to train with those sailors and seamen, and let them go overseas with the ship to collect the seeds of crops from various countries and plant them material.

This world, although not in the history she is familiar with, has recorded the world, geographical environment, climate, cultural traditions, crops, etc., including the maritime environment, and the location of those maritime island countries. The world is not much different.

High-yielding crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn have not appeared, and need to be searched overseas.

benefit the people.

Therefore, this shipping, in Luo Wei's mind, is of great significance. It is not an exaggeration to say that only success is allowed, and failure is not allowed.

To this end, Luo Wei not only made every effort to do all the preparations, but also took into account the various risks existing at sea, so that the former Imperial Physician's Office, and the current Imperial Hospital, developed some that may be used In addition to the finished medicines, there are also doctors on board.

Such a chart and information.

In the absence of evidence, there is a group of unknown forces such as Qinglongwei in front. If the ancestors of the past dynasties had great ambitions, they also wanted to follow the example of the previous dynasty. It seems to make sense.

Think about giving up.

Continue to bury her head in her, as if she will never finish the government affairs. After coming to power for nearly five years, the ministers have made considerable progress under her leadership.

Come.

There are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies in the world. For the wasteland tribe, Luo Wei doesn't have much thoughts about it, but because of her current position, it is inevitable that there will be resentment in her heart.

After Kang Ping fought the war two years ago, Luo Wei's strategy for the wasteland was to win over some tribes in the wasteland while strictly defending them, conduct various trades with them, and buy a large number of tribes in the wasteland. Animal fur and meat.

Among them, the most purchased is wool, followed by beef and mutton, encouraging wasteland herdsmen to raise more cattle and sheep and less horses.

Most of the meat purchased is supplied to the army to improve the army's food and improve the physical fitness of the soldiers who have been malnourished for a long time. A large amount of wool is distributed to major textile workshops.

Even the Jinzhen clan, who had the deepest grievances with Yuan Guo, and the Domo tribe, later began to use the hands of third parties to trade with Yuan Guo.

When paying for things that are worthless in the eyes of the people of these wilderness tribes, they can get the materials they need for their lives, not only ordinary herdsmen are very active, even some small Nobles are very willing to exchange markets with Yuan.

The most dissatisfied are only those who are ambitious and coveted the vast territory of Yuan State, those wasteland nobles and rulers.

Unfortunately, the result of the war in the second year of Kangping was a loss for both parties, and although Yuan Guo suffered a great loss, due to its large population, the successor was strong.

In the past few years, special attention has been paid to the investment in border defense. The people who are stationed at the border enjoy good treatment, and people cannot find opportunities to take advantage.

The loss of the Jinzhen tribe and the Domo tribe, which were the main force at that time, required a long period of recuperation. When other tribes were unwilling to go to war with Yuan, they were helpless. .
