Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "I was wondering, should I tell you now, or wait until they take action?"

Emperor Mingyan said, "What's so special about your little tricks that you have to hide?"

Yan Shiyue chuckled and told the story.

Emperor Mingyan said: "Bring it here!"

Yan Shiyue smiled and handed it to him. Emperor Ming Yan looked at it one by one, put it on the table, and asked after a while: "What do you think?"

Yan Shiyue said, "My thoughts are clearly written down! The reason why I went to find Lin Fujian is because I think that these people will do their best to reduce their sentences. Their knowledge and understanding of this society are definitely far beyond mine. Their thoughts can fill in the gaps and make my ideas more perfect. There will be no surprises or setbacks when implementing them."

Emperor Mingyan frowned and pondered. After a while, he said, "I need to think about it carefully."

"Well," Yan Shiyue asked, "Should I mention it during my morning court tomorrow?"

"Go ahead," Emperor Mingyan said, "Didn't you say that we should gather the wisdom of all parties? What I have come up with may also have some shortcomings."

Yan Shiyue stopped, leaned on his shoulder and asked, "Then, Father, do you think I should take this and quietly go find Old Man Xu?"

...

...

"What old Xu!" Emperor Ming Yan glared at her and said, "You've ruined everything because of your mouth!"

"Hey, is that close? We are in the same phase, and our relationship must be very good!"

Emperor Ming Yan just looked at her like this, as if to say, "Will I believe you?" Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't scream in front of you."

Emperor Mingyan said, "Go! My Yue'er has also improved and now knows how to form alliances!"

She responded and put the letter away, saying, "I don't need their support at all. I just want to borrow their brains. I'm leaving now, Aye!"

She just walked away leisurely.

As a result, that night, Ding Jiu happened to bring her a magic weapon, a newly made glass product.

Yan Shiyue was overjoyed.

To be honest, when that Ku Bing fell in front of her and caused her to act hastily, she really thought that her good luck was going in a strange direction!

So during the morning court session, Prime Minister Yan submitted his memorial with full confidence.

The letter to the world is a follow-up work and has not been mentioned for the time being. Only a memorial from "Si Mao" was submitted, proposing the concept of "state-owned" and measures to encourage trade between neighboring countries.

Sure enough, there were many opponents.

Then, according to convention, the court was temporarily adjourned to discuss the matter later.

Emperor Ming Yan left behind a group of people to discuss the matter. They were all familiar faces. Yan Shiyue took a quick look and found that the people suspected to be Lin Fujian should occupy half of the territory.

Some people said: "This move may seem to benefit the country, but it actually harms the country and the people! Once this 'state-owned enterprise' is implemented, it will surely become a powerful force in the area, and there will be no way to stop it from plundering and looting! No merchants can compete with it."

Yan Shiyue said: "I've said it before, the things we deal in are completely different, there is no such thing as 'no one in the business world can compete with us'."

Some people also said: "Although the Prime Minister has good intentions, his idea is too simple. Once this method is implemented, if the benefits are not limited, the people involved will definitely be lazy. But if the benefits are limited, I am afraid that there will be forced buying and selling."

“For things like cement, too many people are involved and it’s hard to keep it secret.”

Even Prince Chun couldn't help but say, "Trading with neighboring countries is too unpredictable. I'm afraid spies will run rampant."

Yan Shiyue said, "Now, the spies can't come in? You are throwing the baby out with the bathwater! Besides, even if we don't do it, the trade has never stopped in secret!"

Everyone argued endlessly.

Then Prime Minister Xu said slowly: "If we want to enrich the national treasury, we must first increase revenue and secondly reduce expenditure. Your Excellency's move is to increase revenue, but in the final analysis, internally, it is the ordinary people who are exploited, and externally... as you said, there are too many variables. I think that although the Ministry of Revenue is in deficit, we should not act too hastily to avoid mistakes in a hurry."

I could tell that even Old Man Xu was against it.

Yan Shiyue stood up and said, "Prime Minister Xu, you are wrong. What is economy? Economy is not simply buying and selling. If you don't understand this, most arguments are just empty talk."

She paused for a moment, "Let me give you an example. Suppose now, I have no money and I want to eat buns from a certain bun shop, what do you think I should do?"

Everyone looked at each other, and someone asked, "On credit?"

"In exchange?"

"Working for a bun shop?"

Yan Shiyue shook her head: "I sat nearby and watched. Most of the people who came to buy buns in this bun shop were people on their way nearby. These were the 'potential customers'. So I went over to intercept them and told them that I could buy buns for them, and each bun would be one cent cheaper. For them, they were going to buy buns anyway, so why not do it if they didn't have to run around and it was cheaper?"

"For example, if a bun costs five cents, I contacted twenty people like this and asked them to buy fifty buns. Then I went to the bun shop owner and asked if he could give me a cheaper price since I wanted to buy fifty buns at a time. Then the owner lowered the price to three cents. I sold it to them for four cents. I used the difference to buy buns to eat."

Seeing someone wanted to talk, she waved her hand to stop them: "This is just an example, don't worry about the details. I just want you to understand, who is at a disadvantage in this? No one. The bun shop owner has a small profit, but he sells more buns, and the people who buy buns get cheaper and save effort, and I, I get to eat the buns."

Some people seemed to be thinking about it, while others thought she was talking nonsense.

Yan Shiyue continued: "This is economics. Let me tell you another story."

"One day, Zhang San went to the inn and paid two taels of silver for the room, and then the waiter took him upstairs. At this time, the innkeeper quickly took the two taels of silver and paid off the debt owed to the pork shop owner. Then the pork shop owner used the two taels of silver to pay back his neighbor, and the neighbor took the two taels of silver and paid off the room debt owed to the innkeeper.

At this time, Zhang San came downstairs and said he would not live there anymore, and asked for the rent back... So in this cycle, no one suffered any loss, but all the debts were cleared."

All the officials were confused for a moment and did not understand what she wanted to express.

Yan Shiyue said: "This is the meaning of the 'flow' and 'turnover' of silver.

Xu Xiang frowned slightly.

Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "Let me give you one last example."

She turned to Prime Minister Xu, straightened her clothes and hair, and said gracefully: "Young lady of the Xu family, I am as handsome as Pan An, and I am rich. Will you marry me?"

Xu Xiang: “…”

Everyone: “…”

Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "This is called sales promotion."

She said to Xu Xiang with deep affection: "My father is a deity who has descended to the earth. If you marry me, there will be many benefits!"

She turned her head and said, "This is called promotion."

Everyone looked at Xu Xiang's confused face and tried to hold back their laughter.

Yan Shiyue continued, "If I ignore the young lady from the Xu family, but she is attracted by my appearance and demeanor..." Everyone was trying to hold back their laughter, and she continued leisurely, "This is called marketing."

"Let's say the young lady from the Xu family doesn't know me at all, but her parents and family members keep telling her every day that Yan Xiaolang is a one in a million immortal... this is called a brand."

Emperor Ming Yan looked at his ministers who were laughing secretly and raised his eyebrows silently.

The good thing about Emperor Ming Yan was that he was always learning, so he was actually very happy to listen to people's arguments before making a decision.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Ding Xiaoyan had told him a long time ago about how she dealt with the people from the Chamber of Commerce.

So, according to her usual routine, she would make a half-serious joke to liven up the atmosphere, and then it would be time for her big move.
