Chapter 370 Kindness
Ning Cuo believed this without a doubt. Ever since he met the person in front of him, there had not been a single day when she was not beautiful, and she was beautiful in all kinds of ways, whether pure and innocent, enchanting and charming, or cold and ethereal, cute and pitiful. She dazzled him every day and made him infatuated every day!
Although the ministers could not imagine the enthusiastic scene of women all over the world chasing after them to buy this thing, since the Queen Mother was so confident, they decided to give it a try!
"That day, was the method used to make this white sugar a type of refined sugar?"
"Yes, it's purer and sweeter than the brown sugar on the market, and it's also cheaper to make. You can extract it from the ingredients I gave you according to the recipe. Once refined, each piece will be as pure and white as snow!"
The courtier excitedly asked, "Does the Queen really mean what she said?"
You know, sugar is a rare commodity, and it goes without saying how expensive it is. If what Xiao Tu said is true, then the national treasury will have another way to make a lot of money!
"That Queen, are these also made of colored glass? I have only seen crystal glass bowls presented as tribute from other countries, and each one is worth a thousand gold..."
"My Queen, this ice-making method really allows people to make winter-like ice in the scorching summer..."
"My Queen, this bark fishing net can be made into white paper..."
"Diva, this soap..."
Seeing the ministers all excitedly rushing to speak, Xiao Tu knocked on the table and said, "This is what I just wrote. You can take it back and experiment with it to see the result."
Everyone calmed down after hearing what he said. It was true, but just thinking about these things coming true made everyone feel restless. Their eyes were shining as they looked at Xiao Tu!
Ning Cuo couldn't help but frown at what he saw. Then he raised his hand and put his arm around the woman's waist. His narrow, beautiful eyes swept dangerously over everyone, "My dear ministers, what are you looking at?"
Everyone who met his gaze was startled and then lowered their heads obediently.
But he couldn't help but start to complain about Ning Cuo in his heart. They were just too excited. What's wrong with just taking a look? Isn't the Queen sitting there to be respected? Is the master threatening them?!
Xiao Tu found it funny, and regardless of the man who was domineeringly hugging her, she spoke again, "My dear ministers, take the recipe back and study it, and have someone report the results as soon as they come out.
Now, back to the point. I just mentioned showing kindness to the people of the world. While exempting them from taxes for ten years is well-intentioned, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Do you have any plans to address the current plight of the people in the disaster-stricken areas?"
Scholar Ji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, in the past, when natural disasters occurred, the imperial court would allocate silver and grain. But now, there are too many places that need disaster relief, and the national treasury is really empty. I'm afraid we can't even provide much money, let alone grain!"
Xiao Tu fiddled with the pen with her delicate fingers and nodded, "Take out all you have first. Also..." She raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the crowd, "I intend to take the lead in fundraising. What do you think, my dear ministers?"
Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard this, "What does the Queen mean?"
Xiao Tu smiled and said, "In my name, I will raise funds for the disaster victims throughout the city. I will take out one million taels from my own private money to lead the way!"
The ministers were deeply moved when they heard this. The Queen Mother is truly kind!
We just exempted the people from taxes and gave them ways to make money, but now they have to pay out of their own pockets to help the poor victims!
