The window door of the east hall of Xuanshi Hall was wide open, and Liu Xun sat in the hall to comment on memorials, still sweating all over his head.

Cheng Mo waved the folding fan while walking, not for art, but for coolness. However, no matter how fast he swung, there was only a breeze, and the wind was still hot.

"This ghost weather! Why is it so hot?" Cheng Mo murmured, putting the folding fan across his head, blocking the scorching sun, speeding up his pace, and almost trotting all the way to the East Palace.

The eunuch along the way saw him coming and just bent down to salute him, but he had already passed like a gust of wind. He couldn't help but be stunned. King Bei'an is there something urgent?

When he entered the hall, he bowed and sat down. Cheng Mo took out a veil to wipe his sweat. He looked up and saw that the two basins of ice that had been placed in the corner of the hall had disappeared. He couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't your Majesty hot?"

Liu Xun said: "It's the hottest time of the year. Why is it not hot?" As he said that, he picked up the veil placed on the imperial desk to wipe his sweat. The veil was wet. This wipe could almost wring out the water. Xiao Luzi brought the tea set up and changed it to another clean veil.

Cheng Moqi said: "Why don't you put ice basins?" What do you want to be baked?

The sun shone into the west window, less than two feet away from the imperial seat where Liu Xun was sitting. If it tilted a little, it would probably shine on him.

Liu Xun smiled with a good temper and said, "The day before yesterday, Wu Qing reported that the national treasury was less than in previous years. I thought, if you can save a little, just save a little. Just this ice basin, forget it."

Ice is a rare thing, not a wealthy family cannot afford it. From taking ice to storing it, it consumes a lot of money. The hotter the weather, the faster it consumes. Liu Xunyan saw a basin of ice that turned into water in less than two hours. He felt so distressed that it was all silver, so he ordered to take it down. As soon as he took it down, Xu Pingjun also withdrew, and such a big eunuch as Xiao Luzi had to not use it.

By doing this, it’s really a lot to save.

Cheng Mo rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty only wants to reduce expenses, but he doesn't think about opening up the source? Opening up the source is much more important than reducing expenses. If you don't make much money, how much money can you save? Only by finding ways to open up the source and earn money hard is the right way."

The emperor would also worry about money, which is not new. Emperor Wu was in a state of war and fought with the Huns for 30 years, which made the people poor when they were old. After Huo Guang came to power, he had to take the salt and iron back to the country and carry out a policy of fighting for money with the people. Now Liu Xun still practices this policy for money. Last year, Princess Jieyou asked for help. If she had no such income, she would not have sent troops in time.

When fighting, the money is fought, and it is poured out like water.

It was because Cheng Mo knew the current situation of the court that he adopted the strategy of surprise attacks, and used the fastest speed to resolve the Huns and end the war. Because, if one day was delayed, he would cost countless money and grain, and 200,000 people and horses were chewed, it was really a lot. Every grain of rice and every portion of forage had to be transported long distances, which consumed more.

It was his responsibility to start this battle by Liu Xun. After winning, the ministers naturally had to flatter him, but Liu Xun was left alone. The ministers didn't know what he meant and dared not speak nonsense, so gradually no one mentioned it again.

He sent troops once and spent so much time, he was depressed for a long time, but the lights were decorated in the capital and celebrating victory everywhere. He had to swallow the money back, but told Xu Pingjun that the palace would be more affordable later.

Now that he heard Cheng Mo say this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Brother said it lightly. In the past few years of my succession, it is considered that the weather has been beautiful and the weather is good, but..."

The tax was collected, but at this rate, it would be impossible to restore the prosperity of Emperor Jing's period in another thirty years. Liu Xun wanted the people to live a prosperous life, but when he thought of this, he was extremely anxious. Xu Pingjun advised him to take his time, but time didn't wait for anyone, he was twenty-one years old.

With his diligence and kindness, he continued to implement the policy of people's livelihood. One day, the country will be prosperous and the people will be strong. Now the lives of the people are gradually improving, but he still feels too slow and always wants to become rich as soon as possible.

He didn't know how to say these words.

Cheng Mo smiled slightly and said, "Since ancient times, only by allowing goods to flow, wealth can accumulate quickly. Agriculture is the foundation of the country, but it can only allow the people to have food and clothing. To be rich, it is not possible to rely on agriculture alone. You have to walk on two legs, and agriculture and commerce are equally important."

"What does big brother mean?"

Is this the reason why you proposed to improve the status of a businessman last time?

"Your Majesty, who is the noble in the court, has no industries under his name? These industries are managed by a dedicated person. He earns countless silver for the main family every year. Without these withdrawals, which family can live so well with their salary alone? I'm afraid it's difficult to call slaves and maids? What's more, everyone is dressed in a good manner and is there?"

The little Luzi, who was serving next to him, smiled and said, "What the prince said?"

The meaningful little eyes made Cheng Mo laugh and said, "What do you want to say? I just want to say that I don't rely on my salary. Is it a steady stream of wealth just for a living?"

Xiao Luzi smiled happily and said, "The prince is a cheerful person, right? Who doesn't say that the prince is rich and can rival a country, but a rich man in the capital?"

Cheng Mo's heart moved and said, "It's better to put together a wealth popular list and investigate it to see who is the richest in the capital, and rank the top 50 rich people on the list. Just talking about wealth, no matter what the others are?"

Xiao Luzi didn't dare to answer the conversation, so he lowered his head and pretended to put on the snack plate on the imperial desk.

Liu Xun thoughtfully: "What do you mean by brother?"

Cheng Mo thought about it seriously and decided to use his own strength to lead the people on the road to becoming rich. Business is his strength, and he is very familiar with business, which is much better than doing politics.

Today, I entered the palace to persuade Liu Xun to change his usual governance strategy that focuses on agriculture, and to focus on both sides to develop agriculture while developing the economy.

Cheng Mo said: "Your Majesty can tell that the profits of goods from south to north are more than ten times higher than the profits. If we organize a caravan to transport the fur from the north to the south and the seafood from the south to the north, we will not make a profit."

"Brother continues."

"As we organize, the big heads that make profits will naturally be collected from the national treasury, and we can also draw taxes. These are also collected from the national treasury. The caravans that share shares will make a lot of profits. As the local supply, the goods can be sold, and they will naturally be profitable. When the caravans go on the road, they need shopkeepers, friends, guarding the house, and capturing wild animals and seafood in the local area, and manpower. These can promote employment, that is, the people have work to do and have money to make..."

Before Cheng Mo finished speaking, Liu Xun slapped the imperial table and said, "That's it."

"Uh?" I still haven't said a series of plans, so you agree? Cheng Mo's words were cut off, which was very uncomfortable.

As long as he is in charge, the Wu Dynasty will change drastically within three years. He wants to transplant the modern method. He doesn't believe that these smart ancients will be inferior to future generations and modern people, and will not want to make a fortune!
