Chapter 54
We are all poor commoners. Our annual income used to be less than two taels of silver. Even by scrimping and saving for a year, we couldnt save up one tael of silver, so we simply couldnt afford such a house!
But now my husband is a miner, earning 300 wen a month. The pay is good, and the job is stable!
By just spending 50 wen a month, we can afford a good house!
Then, we take out 50 wen each month to pay for the house, leaving us with 250 wen! This 250 wen is quite a surplus, which can be used to buy many good things to improve our lives!
Now, we have both a house and money; our lives are getting more and more promising!
These sentences, like relentless bolts of lightning, kept striking the brain of the Emperor of Mo Kingdom.
It was as if he was parting the heavens and the earth, giving him a feeling of clearing the mists to see the blue sky.
So thats how it is. I finally understand why he paid such high wages. It was to revitalize the economy, improve the peoples livelihood, and quickly enrich the citizens! the Emperor of Mo Kingdom murmured to himself.
As an Emperor, he knew many ways to revitalize the economy, such as reducing labor levies and taxes, encouraging commerce, production, farming, and so on.
However, no method is as fast as directly distributing money.
Those conventional methods would take years to show any effect.
But by directly giving money to the people, within a few months, everyone became wealthier and had more money.
With money in their pockets, people naturally consider improving their living conditions, and the first priority is housing.
Everyone wants to live in a house that is big, nice, sturdy, and also affordable.
So, he started selling houses, selling cement houses at low prices.
In doing so, he not only recouped the funds but also enabled the common people to live in better houses.
The common people now had both houses and money, naturally desiring a better life and spending more, thus the entire economy was revitalized, and everyone became wealthier, with life getting better and better!
Throughout this entire process, the national treasury didnt suffer the slightest loss but instead made a profit.
The common people also didnt incur any losses; they had both money and houses.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
It was done with deliberate intent!!!
He began to review everything that had happened since his confrontation with Lin Beifan.
He had paid a steep price to wrest control of the Huazhou iron mine from his grasp, only to have it collapse when his troops and horses moved in.
Could it be that the iron mine had already been exhausted of its resources, rendered useless, and that was why it was traded away?
After all, isnt it quite normal for a collapse to occur if the underground has been hollowed out?
After the collapse of the iron mine, he sent troops to attack but then retreated without capturing a single city. Could it be that he did this just to provoke him, to lead his own forces to attack the Xia Kingdom?
After leading his troops into the territory, an earthquake occurred, resulting in the loss of soldiers and generals.
Could he have known in advance that there would be an earthquake there?
This sounds somewhat unbelievable, but with such a demonically talented opponent in a world where there are many extraordinary people, its not entirely impossible!
He executed all the merchants who were driving up prices, unafraid of the noble families behind them.
Could it be that he has already secured a way out, which is why he dares to offend all the noble families?
Later on, it was proven that he indeed had business dealings with an unknown major external power, which is why the supplies never ran out.
Thinking about this, the Emperor of the Mo Kingdom broke out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, the old lady had already left, but the Emperor of the Mo Kingdom remained in place, lost in thought.
His face alternated between shades of pale and flushed, and his back was soaked with sweat.
My lord, its getting late. Shall we continue our walk? the guard asked cautiously, interrupting his deep contemplation.
The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom, looking somewhat fatigued, waved his hand dismissively: No more walking, lets go back!
