Gu Nanxi died from overwork and subsequently bound to a 'Kind Mother System', transmigrating into a book as the matriarch of a Marquis's estate.
The entire Marquis's household...
"Yunzhou Weekly" is in short supply.
The entire Yunzhou was plunged into a sea of carnival.
"Your Excellency is truly amazing. He even managed to capture Kyoto!"
"I heard that Xiangzhou is also going to submit to our master! Hahaha! The entire north is our master's territory. Our master is the real great leader. If he stamps his feet, the whole world will shake."
Aunt Geng was a very quick-footed person, always smiling as she went about her business.
Aunt Chen curled her lips and said sourly: "Your old man followed the adults to the war again and made such great contributions. When he comes back, I'm afraid he will be promoted several levels."
Aunt Geng is really lucky. She is a technical instructor in a cannery. Her husband is almost old, but he is highly regarded by Duke Yun. Her son and daughter-in-law are filial, and her grandchildren are smart and cute.
Aunt Geng was not angry at all after being stabbed in the face by a soft remark. Instead, she hugged Aunt Chen's arm and said affectionately, "Oh, my dear sister. Your two good grandchildren are at the forefront, and their contributions must be indispensable. They are young and have a bright future. How many years can my old man still work? How can he compare to your family?"
"Just try to coax me." Aunt Chen said unhappily, but her face was full of joy. "What have you been busy with these few days? You come home so late at night."
We all live in the same alley, and many things can't be hidden from each other.
Aunt Geng said frankly: "The cannery is working at full capacity. The factory director said that Kyoto has been under siege for a long time and must be short of food. Our Yunzhou Cannery must take this opportunity to expand the Kyoto market and thoroughly establish the reputation of our Yunzhou Cannery!"
That's Kyoto! The most prosperous and largest city in Kyushu! It has a population of over a million.
In order to seize the initiative, the factory director negotiated with many pig farming cooperatives and purchased pigs that had not yet fully grown at high prices.
The deputy factory director went to various parts of the grassland to purchase sheep.
Aunt Chen was stunned and suddenly realized that the capture of Kyoto was not only the business of Duke Yun, but was also closely related to everyone in Yunzhou.
Aunt Geng was really too busy, so she went home to pack a set of clothes and decided to eat and live in the factory: "The canning factory is recruiting temporary workers. Please keep an eye out for me. If there are reliable people, please recommend them to us. Let them go to the canning factory and introduce my name."
After saying this, Aunt Geng left in a hurry.
On the way to the cannery, Aunt Geng and Mr. Fang shared a tricycle.
"Mr. Fang, what are you doing in Fuming Town?"
Everyone who knows Fang Yinnian knows that he is a homebody who usually goes between the workshop and home and doesn't like to go out.
Fang Yinnian was in high spirits, his eyes and eyebrows showing joy: "Duke Yun has taken over Jingdu, Xiangzhou and Guangde Prefecture in one fell swoop. The entire north is connected into one piece, forming a huge complete market."
He danced with joy and said, "I just went to see Lord Wang Buxi. The government wants to provide logistics for Duke Yun, and I want to organize a glass workshop caravan to sell the inventory to Kyoto. But we have no experience in business, so we want to go with the government caravan."
In this era, the land is vast and sparsely populated, with deep mountains, old forests, and ferocious wild beasts everywhere.
Although there are no bandits in any prefecture or county under the governance of Duke Yun, Duke Yun can only control people but not wild beasts!
Fang Yinnian chuckled. This time, he planned to lead the team to Kyoto himself.
Oh, Kyoto, which is famous in history!
Fang Yinnian felt that if he didn't check in, he would be unworthy of being a time traveler.
His smile was so contagious that Aunt Geng couldn't help but laugh: "You sell glassware at such a high price. All the high officials and wealthy families in Kyoto have fled to Jiangnan. Who can afford your stuff?"
Fang Yinnian waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "These are all minor issues. There will always be people who don't have time to escape. When the situation stabilizes, this group of people will definitely buy new property. In order to please Duke Yun, they will definitely give priority to Yunzhou products."
Besides, after the glass workshop’s technological updates and iterations, both the yield rate and the good rate have risen sharply, and the cost has been reduced to an incredible level.
Once the Kyoto market becomes saturated, Fang Yinnian plans to start a price war with the south and dump products at extremely low prices.
Thinking of this, Fang Yinnian's thoughts were like a flood that broke through a dam, and inspirations burst out one after another.
In addition to glass, the same routine can be used for other things.
For example, cement roads that performed exceptionally well in several wars, and textile products that were far ahead of the rest…
All of this can be dumped southward.
In the past, Duke Yun’s territory and strength could not match that of the Great Zhou, so he did not dare to engage in an economic war.
Now, Duke Yun owns the area north of the Yangtze River and has many seaports. He has also taken over Kyoto, which has a population of millions. Whether it is territory, manpower or market, there has been a qualitative leap.
If we give Duke Yun a year or two to consume the fruits of his victory, he will definitely be able to compete with the south and fight a beautiful economic war!
Fang Yinnian carefully sorted out the thoughts in his mind and planned to ask for an audience with Duke Yun after arriving in Kyoto to discuss the matter in detail.
The person who had the same idea as him was Cui Le'an in the government office of Fuming Town.
"How could this happen? It's completely different, completely different from history!" Cui Le'an sat at the table with a copy of "Yunzhou Weekly" spread out on the long table.
The big message "good news" hurts the eyes.
Cui Le'an was trembling all over. The advantage he thought he had gained from his rebirth was completely destroyed by this good news!
He thought he still had time to take the position of Lord of the Mansion before Duke Yun ascended the throne, and finally become the Imperial Husband.
But everything is different now.
Duke Yun did not turn the Battle of Kyoto into a bloody grindstone as he had done in his previous life, and was scolded by scholars for years.
"How could Fang La possibly capture Kyoto? Why did the emperor want to escape from Kyoto?!"
In his previous life, the Emperor of the Great Zhou fought very fiercely and even wore armor himself to boost morale.
Even at the end of the fight, he did not choose to escape, but instead burned down the entire palace.
Why did such a brave emperor of the Great Zhou run away in this life?
It doesn't make sense at all!
Cui Le'an held his head with both hands and banged it on the table, looking like a madman.
"What should I do? The Duke of Yun has firearms, loyal Yunzhou cavalry, new-style students headed by Wang Anshi, and a huge territory... Maybe her progress in unifying the world will be accelerated. She can even complete the great cause that she failed to complete in her previous life during her lifetime!"
Cui Le'an thought about his previous life, when Empress Zhaowu stood on the top of Mount Tai and reported to heaven and earth. How arrogant she looked down upon the world and how powerful she was!
His heart felt like it was being gnawed by millions of ants, and he also wanted to stand there!
"It doesn't matter. There is also economic warfare. Queen Zhaowu used economic warfare in her previous life!"
Cui Le'an wrote furiously, titled "On the Application of Economic Means in War." (End of this chapter)
