Chapter 960

Ji Fa thought of the former troops. He took a look at Jiang Ziya, and his confidence expanded. He said, "what Xiangfu said is reasonable. Then act according to Xiangfu's words, hold still, stabilize the northwest and wait for the right time."

At this time, Chaoge also came back with the news: Fei Yuhe was granted the title of empress of Da Shang, and the old Prime Minister Shang Rong and others also came out. Bigan and others all assisted the government. Shangrong was the elder of the three dynasties. Together with Wen Taishi, he was known as the right arm of Da Shang. He had high prestige and was much better than Bigan. Many of the old ministers were his students, which was not comparable to Bigan.

However, Shangrong is old and has heard that the country is in trouble. He still goes out of the mountain himself. The news of his going out of the mountain excites Chaoge. Li Zhi also considers it carefully and injects Shangrong with genetic medicine. Shangrong's body and bones are much better than those of a good boy in his twenties. The most important thing is that he has unlimited life span!

With Li Zhi's gene potion, those who are really useful can directly improve their life expectancy and physical fitness. I heard that the newly granted lady Fei Yuhe has a reputation as a talented woman in business. She is incomparable in natural beauty and doesn't love jewelry, but she likes three things: one is rabbit hair pen, the other is moonlight paper, and the other is Xiqi earthenware. These three things are not expensive, Civilians can afford it.

At the same time, like pen and paper also shows the empress's literature and moral character. The empress is gentle and beautiful, virtuous and versatile. After being granted the title of empress, she won the favor of the emperor. Moreover, she admonished the emperor to take business as the most important thing. The officials also respect the empress very much, and found that the new empress is really talented.

The emperor also loves his family and likes the things that the queen likes. Every time he writes, he writes with moonlight paper and rabbit hair pen. Under Li Zhi's special promotion, even ordinary people know this. Originally, many people used these things for collection, but these three things became treasures, forming a trend.

Except for rabbit hair, paper and pottery can only be purchased from Xiqi. Dashang's most famous firm has foresight to purchase paper from Xiqi early in the morning. These orchid grass and Xiqi earthenware all have huge profits, which are ten times or twenty times as much as ever.

If Xiqi and the businessmen in the North met so frequently, he began to follow the example of these merchants and sold two kinds of things in the big merchants. As expected, the returns were very good. For a while, the two kinds of things could not be supplied.

Seeing this, the slaves, clerks and common people in Northwest China found that Lanyou grass and Xiqi clay were profitable. They began to plant and select one after another, and set off a planting boom. Lanyou grass had a short growth cycle and was easy to grow.

Driven by profits, people gave up their original grain and replaced it with pure orchid grass. They also began to dig soil to make Xiqi pottery. In a short period of time, merchants made considerable profits and brought tax revenue to Xiqi.

At the time of preparing for the war, there was a large consumption of funds, so Jifa not only did not stop it, but let it go. Jiang Ziya once advised Jifa not to give up agriculture, and the only thing he realized was that Jiang Ziya was wrong.

But at this time, including Ji Fa, all the nobles, princes and even civilians in Xiqi got rich. Jiang Ziya was helpless.

They even ordered to punish those who didn't grow grain, but the so-called punishment was not heard. The slaves and subordinates began to plant grain on the surface, but they made Xiqi pottery and planted orchid grass on the ground.

Ji Fa also turned a blind eye to this. Why not make money and supplement his army by taking advantage of the preferences of the emperor's concubines and queens?

Just when Ji Fa saw the income taxes jumping up every day, Li Zhi was also happy. All this was going on in his plan.
