Therefore, she could understand the empress' helplessness.
"But we have to find a way to solve it. As a big country, the people should be prosperous and the country strong. More than 90% of a country's wealth is in the hands of 10% of the people, and the remaining 90% of the people,
With less than 10% of the wealth, how can such a country be strong? Once the Great Zhou adopts the strategy of dividing pastures to attack the Northern Yi, the civilians of the Northern Yi will run to support the Great Zhou, and the Northern Yi will soon be conquered
Destroyed by the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Princess Anqi's heart trembled when she heard this.
She thought about it and was terrified.
I have to admit, what Mu Ruxue said makes sense!
Mu Ruxue seemed to see her worry, fearing that the princess would silence her, and quickly said: "The Great Zhou Dynasty is in great internal chaos now, and it is not yet qualified to use this strategy to deal with the Northern Yi, so the Northern Yi have to take advantage of the Great Zhou Dynasty to resolve the internal conflicts.
Previously, the pasture problem of Beiyi was solved so that the civilians of Beiyi would have the conditions to live and settle down. In this way, Beiyi would be invulnerable and could be twisted into a rope to resist the invasion of the Great Zhou Dynasty and even the demon clan."
After hearing this, Princess Anqi nodded thoughtfully and said: "I, as well as my Queen Mother, want to solve this major problem, but the key is that the nobility is deeply rooted and cannot infringe on their interests. Once it is violated,
It is self-destruction unless..."
"Unless what?" Mu Ruxue asked.
Princess An Qi said: "This is the only way to weaken the power of the nobles, but I can't say it now. When the time is right, I will tell Xiao Zhan, because only he can help me solve this problem."
Mu Ruxue was really curious about what Princess An Qi wanted Xiao Zhan to do for her.
But the princess had already said so, and she didn't dare to ask further.
So, she asked weakly: "Can you Beiyi let me produce those clothes?"
"Of course!" Princess Anqi said: "Northern Yi is mostly poor. How can poor people afford silk and satin? Your clothes are beautiful, convenient, and cheap. They are most suitable for Northern Yi. I will definitely support you in vigorously producing them.
Those clothes are sold to the common people so that the common people can wear them more glamorously, so as not to affect the mental outlook of the people in Beiyi by being wrapped in torn sheepskins and dressed like beggars."
Mu Ruxue was overjoyed: "My kind of clothing requires a lot of cotton. One person can herd a flock of sheep, but growing cotton requires more labor. Then I will rent several large pastures and recruit a large number of civilians to grow cotton.
It can solve the work problems of many civilians."
"Moreover, clothing production also requires a lot of manpower. If the clothing sells well, it can be sold to the Zhou Dynasty, Nanman, and Demon Clan. The output will be large, and the number of workers will be large. By then, I will only recruit civilians, not nobles.
This will allow more civilians to make money!"
"Moreover, I can also sell clothes to civilians abroad for free. When I make money, I will settle the payment for the goods, and then sell another batch. They can make a profit on the price difference, and it can also solve the livelihood problems of many civilians."
"In addition to clothing, I can also produce leather shoes, leather bags, belts, etc. These require a lot of labor and can solve a lot of employment problems!"
