Chapter 184 Orion's Wish 20

Rolling, please subscribe, please give me a monthly ticket

Jian Jian looked at him with a troubled expression and said: "It's just that the products here are rich. There are many good things in the mountains and fields. There are many items that can even be sold for hundreds of taels of silver in the capital, such as ginseng, tiger skins, mink skins, etc.;

The food in the fertile fields is also plentiful and golden, no worse than in the south of the Yangtze River in the Central Plains."

Then, Jian Yi paused and said, "But, why are the taxes paid every year the lowest in the country?"

As soon as Jian Jian finished speaking, all the officials, big and small, landlords and gentry present stopped talking, suppressed their smiles, felt nervous, and looked at Jian Jian with a sullen face.

Jian Jian ignored the resentful eyes that stared at him, sighed, and said: "Actually, the Emperor has been dissatisfied with this for a long time. He told me earlier that he wanted me to try again. If it really doesn't work, it really doesn't work.

no…"

Although Jian Jian made this up, based on Jian Jian's speculation, Jian Jian thinks it is roughly like this.

After all, it is not that there are no emperor's spies here. As the supreme ruler of the Liang Kingdom, the emperor knows very well what the situation is in Yunnan, and he must be deeply dissatisfied with the officials in Yunnan.

Jian Jian felt that he would be transferred here, probably for this reason.

The rest of the words were simply left unfinished, leaving some blank spaces for the officials present to imagine.

But the meaning is obvious. Anyone with some brains knows that it is not a good thing to say.

After listening to what Jian Yi said, the place was quiet for a moment, and then suddenly became agitated. Everyone was whispering to each other, and some people looked at Jian Yi with more and more evil eyes.

Jian Yan smiled at these people, and after everyone's quarrels gradually subsided, he added: "I recently got a new gadget, and I would like to ask you to help evaluate it."

After finishing his words, Jian Jian stood up and walked to the door, "Everyone, please."

Everyone looked at each other, wondering why the topic suddenly turned here. Wasn't it just that the emperor was dissatisfied with Yunnan?

Jian Jian didn't rush them, he just stood still with a smile.

Seeing this, everyone's curiosity was aroused by the simple instructions. Some of the curious ones got up regardless and walked out according to the simple instructions.

As soon as they went out, they stood still.

Those who followed after seeing this, and saw the exquisite, small, thin and translucent wine glasses and vases on the trays held by the seven or eight beautiful maids in the courtyard, also froze.

After everyone was amazed for a while, they stepped forward to take a closer look.

After a while, someone finally came back to his senses and asked, "Master Shanda, what is this?"

"Glass and glass bottle." Jian Jian expressed that he was very satisfied with their unseen appearance.

One person asked: "Is this what you want to talk about today?"

We are not fools. One moment, the son is enjoying a flower-viewing feast; the other moment, the emperor has opinions about Yunnan; the next moment, he invites them to appreciate the glass; they all know what they want and what they want to do.

Seeing that someone had clicked on the question, Jian Yan smiled humbly, made an inviting gesture, and invited the person back to the main hall.

When a senior official saw this, he thought Jian Yi was teasing them and letting them walk around. He was about to say a few words when a stream of light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, stopping his words and making him understand.

"Haha" laughed a few times and strode in.

Seeing him like this, everyone followed him one after another.

After entering the main hall, he asked someone to close the door again, and said simply: "Some time ago, I visited all the counties and villages in Yunzhou, and I discovered a problem. The official roads from the villages in this area to the county seem to be a bit awkward.

Because of this, those mountain people who have mountain goods that are very popular even in the capital, because the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk, are either unsaleable at home, or are sold at low prices by unscrupulous dealers. Regarding this, I

I feel deeply saddened.”

As he spoke, Jian Jian pretended to be in pain, but before anyone could scold him for being pretentious and saying it was none of their business to complain about Jian Yi's heartache, Jian Jian said again: "I'm thinking, if I can raise funds from kind people,

Just repair the roads from every village in Yunzhou city to the county seat.

In this way, the mountain people can go out of the mountain villages, buy the good things in the mountains at good prices, and subsidize their families. The people's lives have improved, and I believe the emperor will also be very happy."

After Jian Jian finished speaking, the scene was once again in an uproar, and everyone knew the true purpose of Jian Jian's flower viewing party.

Damn it, this guy is here for money.

However, what is going on with that glass? Why did this person stop talking after half-telling it?

Soon there was a squire who was staring at the glass and asked this question loudly.

Jian Yi: "Oh, you're talking about this."

"It's like this. I want to start a small business, but I don't have enough capital, so I want to take advantage of this flower viewing party to invite you to join us, so that we can work together to develop Yunzhou."

As soon as Jian Yi finished speaking, the old foxes present understood.

It seems anticlimactic, but the translation is that I have a profitable business here that I want to do with everyone. The condition is that they pay for it and let him build a road, build Yunzhou well, and strive to increase the tax revenue.

For a moment, the minds of all the leaders present were a little uneasy, and all kinds of gains and losses flashed through their minds quickly.

After a series of struggles and ideological struggles, they all agreed to build the road.

Even after cultivating the official path, those mountain people will go out of the mountains, escape their control, see the outside world, and know the value of the things in their hands.

But they all saw clearly that compared to the small benefits they could get from cheating the mountain people, the one named Glass just now would undoubtedly get them more.

And there is another point, which is the emperor's inner thoughts revealed by Jian Jian.

It's not like they didn't have evil thoughts, but when they thought about Princess Duan Yu's background and Jian Jian's six-yuan achievement, they backed down.

The two are combined in Jian Yi. As long as Jian Yi does not die of old age, Jian Yi's sudden death will become the focus of attention among scholars all over the world.

Therefore, killing Jian Jian is obviously the most unwise approach. If one fails, the whole family will have to finish the game.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best to follow Jian Jian's idea, and Jian Jian does not let them spend money in vain. Judging from Jian Jian's meaning, how much money they spend to build roads, they can get a few percent of the glass business.

It's done.

Thinking of the crystal clear, thin and light-transmitting glass, everyone present was excited. Seeing this, the simplicity no longer appealed to them, and invited the staff to explain to them the details of the operation they had discussed before.

After learning the details, the petty officials and gentry in Yunzhou donated generously. In just one afternoon, everyone raised nearly 500,000 taels of silver for road construction.

You know, Yunzhou is a barren land.

The business was done and the registration was completed. Jian Jian was in a good mood. He led the guests to the garden in the backyard and admired the precious flowers he brought out from the space and then lied about that he had dug them from the mountains.

In the evening, I took them to eat and drink again, and then gave each of them a set of glassware to take back. In this way, the day was finally over.
