The sun is shining brightly and the summer cicadas are chirping.
After Fang Xuanling came back from duty, she habitually went to the study to read.
"Knock, button, button."
The old housekeeper who had served Fang Xuanling for many years gently knocked on the door of the study.
"Sir, there is a letter from Jiangzhou."
The old butler's voice sounded.
Fang Xuanling raised his head, put the original copy on the table, and said softly, "Come in."
"Yes."
Old The butler opened the door gently, holding the letter sealed with wax in both hands.
He put the secret letter behind the desk, bowed to Fang Xuanling, and left respectfully.
After being together for many years, Fang Xuanling always asked him not to do these false etiquette.
But the old housekeeper always claimed that "there is a difference between superiority and inferiority", and his etiquette and gestures were very good.
Fang Xuanling opened the secret letter, and what he saw was a hand-painted calligraphy with silver hooks. The densely packed small letters filled the paper.
"Good calligraphy."
Fang Xuanling recognized this as Ma Zhou's handwriting.
Although this is not the first time I have seen it, I still can’t help but praise it.
Unfolding the letter, the business alliance plan was clearly written in large characters at the top.
Fang Xuanling concentrated on reading the content word by word.
A long time.
"Huh~"
Fang Xuanling frowned and took a long, heavy breath.
What a toss up!
Within a few days, Wang Jian and Ma Zhou came up with a new gadget.
In Ma Zhou’s letter, he emphasized that this is a government-led non-governmental organization.
But in Fang Xuanling's view, everything with government intervention is guided by the government's will.
They are not purely non-governmental organizations, but half government departments.
Moreover, the Business Alliance is a group of people with assets and some power.
If the development is not good, it will easily lead to a situation where the tail is too big to get rid of.
The most extreme results are nothing more than the following two points.
At least it is easy to fight against the government, monopolize goods and drive up prices.
The most important thing is to rebel!
This is something that neither Wang Jian nor Ma Zhou considered.
Of course, everything has two sides.
There are many benefits to forming a business alliance.
Business taxation has always been an area that is difficult to grasp. Forming a business alliance can standardize business and tax revenue will also increase significantly.
Now that the treasury is empty, a lot of money is needed.
Secondly, government support for commercial development can bring prosperity to the local area.
The most important point is that after establishing a business alliance, you can form a business alliance with the aristocratic family.into checks and balances.
Take the drought in Hedong Road, Guannai Road and other places as an example.
The powerful families control most of the food. With their efforts to drive up food prices, food has tripled.
And according to the current sky-high prices, it is not necessarily possible to buy food.
Although the government has put pressure on the family many times, the family does not sell the government's face at all.
If you use force against aristocratic families, you are digging your own grave.
Before attacking the aristocratic families in the morning, these aristocratic families can unite to rebel in the afternoon.
In the future, with the support of the business alliance, we will not be choked by the wealthy families when encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters.
Fang Xuanling frowned, lowered his head and thought hard, and quickly made a decision.
Fang Xuanling said towards the door.
"Prepare your horse, I want to enter the palace to see the saint."
"Yes."
The old butler's voice rang outside the door. He immediately went down to make arrangements. .
Royal Palace, Imperial Garden.
Li Shimin, who is in his prime, is holding a one-year-old child.
At this time, he and his elegant eldest grandson Wugou were leaning on the pavilion in the lotus pond admiring the flowers.
The pink lotus flowers are blooming all over the pond, and they are beautiful everywhere.
If Wang Jian were here and saw this scene, he would definitely recite a poem.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
"The lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red."
When reciting poetry, you should put your hands behind your back and raise your head to meditate.
Just fill it up directly.
The baby in Li Shimin's arms leaned forward and grabbed it with both hands in the air.
Looking at the dragonfly standing on the lotus, it screamed.
"Boy, do you want a dragonfly?"
Li Shimin looked down at the baby in his arms, his eyes full of love.
This baby is the third son Changsun Wugu gave birth to last year, named Li Zhi.
The pink color is very cute.
While the family of three was having sex with each other, Li Shimin's personal eunuch Wang De stepped forward to report.
"Your Majesty, I would like to see you."
"Noisy."
Li Shimin nodded lightly.
Not long after, Fang Xuanling hurried over with a happy face.
In his hand was Ma Zhou's secret handwritten letter.
When Li Shimin saw the excited Fang Xuanling, he smiled and said to his eldest grandson Wugao beside him.
"Guanyin Maid, I guess Fang Aiqing has good news for me again."
When Fang Xuanling first returned to Chang'an, he had not yet stepped through the door, stepping on the night Enter the palace.
That time, Fang Xuanling besides reportingDisaster relief and dealing with official matters in the late Tang Dynasty.
He also brought him three good things: fertilization, castrated pigs, and arithmetic that would benefit the country and the people.
Li Shimin was overjoyed and said with emotion.
"Wang Jian, although he has not entered the court as an official, he has solved several major issues for me. He is really my humeral minister!"
The next day At the morning meeting, Li Shimin announced the technology brought back by Fang Xuanling from Longmen County.
The entire court was excited.
Especially the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Throughout the court meeting, the two ministers were grinning.
Pigs live in a litter all their lives. Castrating pigs makes them less smelly and allows them to gain weight continuously.
It is very likely that people will eat meat every day in the future.
Solving people’s livelihood problems is a great achievement for the Ministry of Agriculture.
Arithmetic is also very important to the household department.
Let alone the annual property and tax statistics, just take the preparation of military rations as an example.
With this convenient statistical calculation method, their workload will not only be greatly reduced, but the accuracy will be much higher.
It greatly avoids problems in grain preparation due to calculation problems.
If there is a problem with food and grass, it will be a matter of beheading.
"See Your Majesty, the Queen."
When Fang Xuanling came forward, Fang Xuanling saluted respectfully.
Changsun Wugou knew that the monarch and his ministers had something to discuss, so she took over Xiao Li Zhi.
"Second brother, you and Fang Xiang talk about things, I will take the children back to rest first."
After saying that, Changsun Wugao smiled and nodded towards Fang Xuanling, Then he carried Li Zhi back to the harem.
Several palace maids not far away also quickly followed back.
With a smile on his face, Li Shimin asked curiously, "Fang Aiqing, what good news do you bring this time?"
"Your Majesty, there is indeed good news."
p>Li Shimin's face was full of curiosity, "Isn't it another good news from Longmen County?"
"Your Majesty, this is the letter from Ma Zhou, the magistrate of Longmen County."
Fang Xuanling flattered him a little and responded with a smile.
Immediately handed Li Shimin the memorial written by Ma Zhou on the establishment of a business alliance in Longmen County.
Li Shimin took the letter and read it with doubts.
Originally Li Shimin read the letter with a casual attitude, but as the content deepened, his mind began to work rapidly.
Unknowingly, Li Shimin was reading the letter and walking aimlessly in the Imperial Garden.
Fang Xuanling followed behind silently.
For half an hour, there was no conversation between the monarch and his ministers.
Li Shimin read it three times and completely believed in the business alliance.After absorbing the breath, he stopped, turned around and said to Fang Xuanling.
"Fang Aiqing, a business alliance has been established in Longmen County. Tell us what you think."
