Chapter 553 Granary

As Shen Yueyao listened, her eyes lit up.

She also hopes that more people in Yunzhou can have enough food to eat.

Even Su Xueyi and the emperor thought the same.

Of course, now they also want Hezhou to develop.

Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi had not returned to Yunzhou for a long time. Listening to Yang Yanran say these words, she was also very touched.

She wanted to go back and take a look.

Having lived in Liuhe Village for so long, she has developed feelings for the place and regards it as her hometown.

Even Old Madam Su sighed that she felt more relaxed when she was in Liuhe Village.

Yes, Shen Yueyao kind of missed the relaxed and comfortable feeling she had back then.

However, if he wants to expand his business, he still needs the protection of Su Xueyi's official status.

She now runs workshops and shops, including shops all over the dock, and no one dares to say anything.

No one dared to use tricks like the Xu family did in the past to get the secret recipe of lipstick.

Now she has Su Xueyi, and the emperor is protecting her, so she can do business whenever she wants.

Even when it comes to making cheap paper, many forces want to try and get the secret recipe for papermaking, but no one dares to actually do anything.

It is also because of the power of protection.

Ning Mianmian was deeply touched by what she heard, so her eyes were sore and hot, and she was very moved.

She didn't know what moved her, but the changes in Yunzhou and all the efforts made by the people of Yunzhou made her feel like she was in tears.

Not only did ordinary people benefit, but even her Ning family became better off.

Her parents reopened their shop and started a cloth business.

Her brother and sister-in-law made a lot of money by buying goods from her sister's embroidery workshop and selling them outside.

Of course, they stick to their original intention and don't sell at high prices. Even if the products are good, they make a lot of money by selling them at a small profit. The family lives a stable life without having to worry too much.

And because of the relationship between the Ning family and the Shen family, no one dared to do anything behind the scenes.

My brother and sister-in-law can run their business in peace.

Even she likes to eat roasted sweet potatoes, especially when the weather is cold. Eating some roasted sweet potatoes will make her feel warm and comfortable all over.

Yang Yanran felt like she had a lot to say to Shen Yueyao.

Really, she was also deeply touched.

She was also happy to see that the people of Yunzhou were getting better.

Yang Yanran said, "The most important thing is that you don't know that the status of girls in Yunzhou has improved."

"Many parents have begun to pay more attention to girls in their families because girls can also earn money and are more skillful in knitting."

"Because sweaters are very popular, many merchants are buying them. Due to some policies issued by the emperor, merchants dare not lower prices. If you want to purchase things from the public, you must do so honestly. You cannot lower prices or oppress the people."

"The government has sent people to watch over us."

"People can also go to the government office to report that there is a foreign businessman who wants to unite with several merchants to lower the price of sweaters and control the market. He thinks they are deliberately buying sweaters at a low price, so that those knitters can't sell their sweaters unless they sell them to him."

"Many women have never traveled far and don't know how to sell their sweaters. They are afraid and have no choice but to sell them to these people even if they have to lower the price."

"But there was a literate girl who knew the government's policy and reported it. The foreign businessman and several other merchants were punished and expelled from Yunzhou. The government also announced that they would no longer be able to buy anything in Yunzhou and were not allowed to enter Yunzhou..."

"So now merchants don't dare to have any thoughts and just honestly charge normal prices."

"Sweaters, preserved eggs, and salted duck eggs are all good things. According to the market price, they can make a lot of profit by selling them outside, so naturally they are bought at the normal market price. They are also scrambling to buy things. In this way, those hardworking young ladies can really make money with this skill to supplement their family income."

"You don't know, I'm really moved when I see these changes."

Shen Yueyao looked at Su Xueyi, and Su Xueyi was also very happy.

Shen Yueyao remembered that it was Su Xueyi who discussed these matters with the emperor.

It's about some unscrupulous forces colluding to lower prices and bully the common people.

It is the common people who work hard, but it is these forces that really make money.

Therefore, the emperor introduced policies to crack down severely and even used this as a measure to evaluate the political achievements of officials.

The emperor will also send the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate.

In addition, some officials who only cared about themselves and bullied the people had long been removed by the emperor.

Those who are truly capable and can truly serve the people are appointed as officials.

Therefore, they can effectively safeguard the interests of the people.

Shen Yueyao also sighed: "I am also very happy to hear this."

Her eyes were a little hot.

Dabao and Erbao were listening attentively.

They have read a lot of books now and know a lot of principles, so they can naturally understand these things.

They think their parents are so great.

They grew up in the village and know what it feels like for the villagers to not have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear.

So they can understand this.

"Not only that, potatoes and sweet potatoes are grown in two seasons. Coupled with the high yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes, many families can grow two mu of land and the whole family will not go hungry. Not to mention that nowadays people have some skills and can earn money to supplement their family income."

"In addition, there are many workshops in Yunzhou, and they hire people to do the work. Even if many people don't have land, they can earn enough to live on by working in the workshops in a month."

"Especially the workshop you opened and the Shen family's workshop, the benefits and treatment they provide are really talked about."

"Many people are trying their best to work in your workshop."

"And your workshop has grown cotton, which has let many people know that we can also grow cotton here."

"Some farmers are thinking about going there to see if they can buy some seeds and learn how to grow cotton."

"The stewards in your village all teach for free. They said it was your order."

"Everyone is grateful. Many people say that if they grow cotton, they can use it to make thick quilts, so they won't feel cold."

"Now all the wasteland in Yunzhou is being used. There are a lot of potatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat, rapeseed, and cotton growing here..."

"Speaking of this, I want to thank you, Sister Shen, for the potatoes and sweet potatoes you first gave us. We planted them on the farm, and we can often eat potatoes and sweet potatoes."

"Nowadays, many families dry the leftover sweet potatoes into dried sweet potatoes. Merchants collect them and sell them outside, even to foreign countries..."

Shen Yueyao said: "In a few years, potatoes and sweet potatoes will be promoted everywhere, and everyone will be able to eat potatoes and sweet potatoes."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yanran was excited: "In this case, according to the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes, as long as we have land at home and work hard to plant them, we can harvest a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and our Great Yan Kingdom's granary will be full."

There are granaries in various places in the State of Dayan to store food.

Yang Yanran grew up in a wealthy family in the capital, so she naturally hopes that the Great Yan Kingdom will be strong.

"However, I heard that the Rong tribe in the north becomes restless as soon as winter arrives. I wonder if they will start a war."

Speaking of this, Yang Yanran was also a little worried.

But she also knew that these were not her concerns.

When Shen Yueyao heard these words, her expression froze.

If there is any news, the emperor will tell Su Xueyi.

Although Su Xueyi would submit memorials to the meeting, she would still follow the rules and procedures.

But in fact, Su Xueyi and the emperor would exchange letters privately.
