The Empress was fooled and happily agreed.
This way, Wu Yunqing could put down one of his worries because he had too many things to do.
Big Ming was now a house with air leaks everywhere. He could not make ends meet, so Wu Yunqing had to think of ways to make money.
It was impossible to rely solely on taxes.
Nowadays, taxes were getting lower and lower year by year. The main reason was that the farmers were all under the names of the Elementary Scholars, so those people did not have to pay taxes.
It was equivalent to the country's tax revenue, which benefited the literati. However, the common people still did not have enough to eat, the country did not have money, and there was no pay for the war.
Without pay, who would risk their lives on an empty stomach?
The armed forces were no match for Qi Qing, so they were constantly losing battles. Not only did they lose battles, but the prestige of the imperial court was also greatly reduced.
Many people rebelled, and the tax revenue was even more difficult to collect…
This was a matter of mutual influence. One chain after another, in the end, it caused Da Ming to collapse!
Money was not everything, but without money, it was absolutely impossible!
Zhang Yan had been educated by tradition and looked down on merchants. She did not approve of the Emperor's involvement in business, but Wu Yunqing did not care.
Damn it, if Wei Zhongxian hadn't given him a few million, the soldiers at the front would have been exhausted.
There were many palace maids in the harem who had nothing to do. Wu Yunqing could not control the people outside, but he could still control the people in the palace.
Now, there were three garment factories in the Imperial Palace. The Empress was the head shopkeeper, and the three small shopkeepers were the three imperial concubines.
The three imperial consorts each controlled thirty palace maids to make clothes.
The Empress had said that there would be rewards for those who did well. The more they did in any aspect, the more dividends they would receive…
Wu Yunqing also went to visit the three factories. The palace maids were all working. Of course, this kind of work was not tiring.
Hehe, very good. These palace maids are living and eating for free in the palace. I'm grateful. Now they can support themselves. I'm very pleased!
The next day, Zhang Guoji, the Earl of Taikang, came to visit Wu Yunqing.
"Hehe, there's no need to be so polite, sit!”
Wu Yunqing waited for the other party to carefully sit down before saying," Did the country's father go to the Empress's place?”
"Your Majesty, I have been there.
"The Empress said that you were looking for me, so I rushed over…" Zhang Guoji said carefully.
Wu Yunqing nodded." I have something for you to do."”
"This lowly subject will definitely sacrifice my life to the heavens!”Zhang Guoji immediately stood up and said.
"Why are you so excited? Sit down and listen to zhen slowly.
The Empress had someone make a set of clothes a few days ago. Zhen plans to let you sell them on her behalf. Each piece costs 1,000 taels…"
Hearing that, Zhang Guoji immediately thought of something.
One thousand taels for one piece, this was too expensive!
Could it be that His Majesty was scheming for his property and wanted him to donate money in disguise?
However, after listening to the Emperor, Zhang Guoji knew that he was wrong. The Emperor really wanted him to sell it!
"We only sell the expensive ones, not the right ones. This is our principle!”
What shrimp?
Zhang Guoji was confused.
If he was also a scholar, he wouldn't dare to say that he was talented, but he should be at least three or four, right?
But why was the Emperor's words so profound? He understood every word, but when put together, he didn't understand.
Seeing that the other party was so confused, Wu Yunqing could only slowly explain. He explained it from the perspective of competition and herd mentality.
"Your Majesty, you are truly wise. This lowly official is extremely respectful!”Zhang Guoji felt enlightened and was filled with admiration.
Wu Yunqing chuckled and did not care about his father-in-law's praise." Actually, other than this pair of pants, there is something more valuable, and that is perfume!”
After the hard work of the craftsmen and Wu Yunqing's guidance, the essence was made, and the perfume also appeared.
However, the glass was not ready yet, so he could only use porcelain bottles to store them.
"Perfume is the same as those clothes. We only make high-end products, and we have to sell our products to Jiangnan as soon as possible!
In the future, he would sell them to the countries in the south, as well as the East Continent and the West Continent!”
Zhang Guoji's eyes lit up. He didn't know anything about the West Continent, but he knew about the countries in the south. It seemed that he was going to make a special announcement in the future!
Zhang Guoji left in satisfaction. The Empress was his daughter, and now the Emperor supported him. Who would dare to provoke him, the Duke?
Wei Zhongxian, hmph, he's just a eunuch slave!
Watch how I deal with you when I'm rich!
Of course, Wu Yunqing did not give him any money for the preparation work. Zhang Guoji invested in the company with his manpower and the shop. He had to be clear about this.
Following that, Wu Yunqing summoned Mu Qiyuan. Although this guy was a bastard, he was still a member of the Meritocrats and could be roped in.
He could not let the other party fight, but he could go into business.
