The winter snow melted, and the warm sunlight brought the news of spring.
Since the industrial exhibition, batches of machine tools and equipment have been sent to factories in various places.
With the substantial increase in output, the vigorous industrial revolution has begun.
Daqin's economy is booming at an incredible speed.
Everything is moving in the right direction.
However, Chu Yuening, the driving force behind the scenes, now had new worries.
Increased productivity is certainly a good thing.
Under the overall economic environment, there is no doubt that the living standards of the people will also improve.
However, if market demand is saturated and supply exceeds demand, it will easily lead to a series of chain reactions such as inventory backlogs, lower prices, and market turmoil.
Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to open up commodity markets and promote the trade economy.
However, some things are easy to say but difficult to implement.
Inside Zhangtai Palace.
"A Zheng, what do you think?"
Chu Yuening supported her chin and sighed with a sad brow.
Ying Zheng looked at his wife who had come to see him for something, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said something indifferently.
"I'll sit and watch."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yuening's mouth twitched and her face was immediately filled with black lines.
Her face turned stern and she glared angrily at a petty Scorpio man.
"Can you please stop telling jokes in such a serious situation?"
Didn’t I just call him old-fashioned a few days ago?
Are you still holding a grudge?
Besides, this joke is old and not funny at all.
Seeing that his wife had not yet noticed his emotions, Ying Zheng pursed his thin lips almost into a straight line, and his face looked even more stern.
He slowly stood up and walked to the opposite side, supporting the back of the chair with his big hands. His tall and majestic body completely enveloped the person, giving a very oppressive feeling.
"Yuening, have you ever heard of King Xuan of Qi's saying, 'When in trouble, Zhong Wuyan; when in peace, Xia Yingchun'?"
The mature and mellow bass voice sounded as pleasant as ever, but now it contained a hint of danger.
However, Chu Yuening didn't notice it at all.
Her beautiful eyes were wide open as she stared blankly at the domineering and powerful man above her, with only one thought in her mind.
This, this...
Is this the legendary "chair dong"? !
Seeing that his wife was still distracted at this time, Ying Zheng laughed in anger and almost wanted to pick her up and put her on his knees to "punish" her.
Fortunately, Chu Yuening finally came to her senses at this time.
She looked at the man's handsome face as dark as water, and with a strong desire to survive, she immediately hooked her arms around his neck and kissed his tightly pursed thin lips.
Then she blinked innocently, and her delicate voice was as sweet as honey.
"What about Zhong Wuyan and Xia Yingchun? I only have eyes for my beloved husband~"
Ying Zheng met those affectionate eyes, felt the remaining softness on her lips, and his expression suddenly turned from gloomy to bright.
He put his arms around his wife's waist, pulled her onto his lap, and kissed her hard in his arms.
It was not until the woman in his arms, with red and swollen lips and watery eyes, leaned against him weakly and helplessly, that the depression accumulated in Ying Zheng's chest dissipated a little.
During this period of time, my wife's mind was focused on the children and other affairs.
It's a rare opportunity to see him today, and it turns out to be for business.
How could he be happy?
You know, she used to stick to me all day long.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but wonder, could it be that after only eleven years, his young wife's feelings for him had faded?
Although Chu Yuening didn't know her husband's resentful thoughts, she could guess his displeasure from this fierce and passionate kiss.
A trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, and then she kissed the man's chin in a flattering manner and apologized softly.
"I'm sorry, A Zheng, I'll come to Zhangtai Palace to accompany you from now on, okay?"
Ying Zheng did not answer immediately, but held her fair little face with one hand, stroking her skin as soft as mutton fat jade with his fingertips, and occasionally kneading her rosy lips.
After a while, he spoke softly.
"Yuening, you must not break your promise, otherwise..."
"No, no, I always keep my promises!"
Chu Yuening made repeated assurances, and tried to open her eyes wide, wanting him to see the sincerity in them.
Ying Zheng looked at those round eyes, which were as lively and innocent as a deer in the mountains, revealing his wholehearted dependence and love.
He couldn't help but feel happy, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and his cold phoenix eyes became gentle, as if the first snow had melted and turned into a pool of shimmering spring water.
She is willing to coax him, so how can it not be considered love?
After the couple was sweet and affectionate for a while, they finally remembered their business.
Chu Yuening played with the man's bony fingers, her mind focused and her eyes full of deep thought.
"The Western Regions are not so bad. They have a strong business atmosphere. Coupled with Yan Yu's business alliance, once the Silk Road is stabilized, the economic trade between the two regions will also prosper."
"But the other counties and prefectures of the Qin Dynasty have many regulations and heavy commercial taxes, and doing business is often looked down upon..."
"Then completely relax restrictions on trade across the country and reduce commercial taxes."
Ying Zheng said without hesitation, his tone calm and composed, as if the decision was a trivial matter.
In fact, he had thought it over carefully.
First, the Qin Dynasty now has high-yield grain varieties, so even if there are fewer people farming, there will be no shortage of food. With this material foundation, commerce will not shake the foundation of the country.
Second, the Industrial Revolution is an indispensable link in strengthening the country and enriching the people, so trade and economy are an inevitable part of it.
"Then...will it affect the foundation of the empire?"
Chu Yuening asked hesitantly, a look of worry on her face.
