"What my cousin said makes some sense. Is there really no other way to make money?" The emperor thought that what his cousin said made sense rationally, but emotionally he still wanted to struggle a little more.
"One person's skills may be limited, but the skills of many are greater. My cousin can increase the reward mechanism, for example, by tying his personal monthly profit to the store's profit.
If you want to do business, you have to act like a business person. Who would want to do it if they are too arrogant? "
Zhou Qiongyue really admires these people of this era. Those who have a little status are unwilling to bow down to ordinary people. They want to make money, but they feel that merchants are despised.
Zhou Qiongyue had once passed by the emperor's private properties and was so impressed by how impressive they were that she didn't even want to go in, let alone ordinary people.
Although the emperor thought this was a good idea, he felt bad when he thought about the money he would have to give away. He didn't know what to do for a while.
The Queen Mother also thought that her niece's idea was a good one. Since they had to divide the profits, they might as well increase the profits.
But the Queen Mother saw the Emperor's expression and knew what he was thinking, "You are even more stingy than your father."
The complaints from his own biological mother were the most fatal, and the emperor also felt quite aggrieved.
If he had known that everyone would want a piece of the pie after he took the property from his cousin, he would not have supported those old foxes in the court to seize power!
At this time, the emperor could only resort to the path of pity and appeasement: "Alas, mother, you don't know, I am poor! I need money everywhere.
These properties are said to be my private treasury, but in fact, any large sums of money needed in the court now come from my private treasury.
It's called my private treasury, but it's no different from the Tianyuan Kingdom's second treasury. I really didn't enjoy it privately."
The Queen Mother looked at her son, who had the same character as the late Emperor, and she really didn't want to sympathize with them at all. She only replied lightly, "Isn't this kingdom yours?"

The Queen Mother's fighting power was off the charts, and the Emperor could only seek allies. "Cousin, please persuade the Queen Mother. She will feel uncomfortable if she doesn't say something to me."
"Aunt knows that the emperor's cousin is filial, so she speaks so casually." When Zhou Qiongyue wants to coax people, she speaks in a nice way.
The emperor was indeed happy to hear his cousin say this, "I am also happy that my mother can be so casual."
Now that the Empress Dowager is old, the Emperor really puts her health first in everything.
For a moment, the four people in the hall were all smiling and chatting about various interesting things.
When Zhou Qiongyue saw the emperor asking about the interesting things that happened between her and Yuan Bohua along the way, Zhou Qiongyue actually had something she wanted to remind the emperor's cousin.
"Cousin, your Highness and I have been traveling south and have discovered that vaccination is very popular. More than 60% of the people have been vaccinated, including many dignitaries.
Cousin, should we ask the imperial physician to research this? If it does work, it will help protect Cheng Yan and the others."
Actually, Zhou Qiongyue's estimate of 60% is conservative, as most people grow the same amount of herbs. Every time she visits a place, Zhou Qiongyue is amazed at the skill of Dr. Zhao.
He promoted the business on his own without any government guarantee. He is truly capable.
In fact, when Dr. Zhao first promoted it, people were afraid and didn't believe it. But with Dr. Zhao's medical skills and the fact that the vaccination was free, many people got the vaccination thinking they could take advantage of the situation.
Later, smallpox broke out in the surrounding area, and people who had been vaccinated against cowpox were not infected.
No matter what the government said, people around believed it anyway. Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and more and more people started to plant it.
Later, many folk doctors came to Dr. Zhao specifically to learn, and Dr. Zhao did not hide his knowledge and taught them for free.
As more people were vaccinated, the benefits of cowpox became more apparent when smallpox broke out nearby, and more and more people spontaneously got vaccinated.
In particular, Marquis Cheng'en also went to plant with a group of children. Although many noble ministers said they didn't believe it, it did not stop them from making arrangements for their own children.
As for why the local officials did not report the matter to the higher authorities, Zhou Qiongyue said that she was not an official and of course did not know what they were thinking.
So now the biggest loophole is actually the royal family.
If it weren't for the fact that the Queen Mother was nice to her and the fact that the eldest prince Chengyan was also a good boy, Zhou Qiongyue wouldn't have bothered to remind her so much.
The emperor stood up in shock and asked, "You two also planted it?"
Zhou Qiongyue readily admitted, "Well, the minister and the prince saw no danger, so we planted it. In fact, there are many people in Yuan'an who plant this now.
This has indeed been grown in the folk and no one has been infected with smallpox. I only thought of reminding my cousin when I saw that he didn't show any signs of movement.
Cousin, please don't blame me for being nosy."
"Cousin, please stay with mother in the palace. I have something to do first." The emperor said this and did not forget to take Yuan Bohua with him when he left.
At this time, the emperor had no time to care about making money.
Zhou Qiongyue was still shouting at the back, "Cousin, the prince is not in good health. He can't do any errands, and he can't go on long trips. Don't send him any errands."
The empress dowager paused for a moment as she looked at the emperor's back, and then she burst into laughter.
The Queen Mother pointed at Zhou Qiongyue, her tone full of doting, "You! You're still so mischievous."
Zhou Qiongyue was not afraid of being laughed at by the Queen Mother, and expressed her thoughts seriously, "My niece is indeed very worried about the prince's health. My niece wants to grow old with him."
The Queen Mother sighed in her heart that her niece was still as affectionate as ever. She reached out and patted Zhou Qiongyue's hand, "I will, Yue'er, don't be afraid!"
"Niece, I'm not afraid!" Zhou Qiongyue lamented in her heart the ruthlessness of time. She was now more afraid that the Empress Dowager and her parents would pass away one day.
Afterwards, the Queen Mother and Zhou Qiongyue talked for a long time and had a happy lunch together. In the afternoon, before Zhou Qiongyue left the palace, she went to sit for a while in the palace of Queen Duan Jianing.
Queen Duan Jianing was also happy to see Zhou Qiongyue, and the two chatted for a long time.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Qiongyue said goodbye to the Queen under her reluctant gaze.
When Zhou Qiongyue went to the palace, the three big bosses in the palace gave her many rewards.
It was another day that she was envied by many noble ministers in Yuan'an.
When Zhou Qiongyue got on the carriage, she saw Yuan Bohua already waiting inside. Zhou Qiongyue was stunned for a moment, "I thought the emperor was going to send the prince to take charge of this matter?"
Yuan Bohua now has no interest in those errands. After working hard for several months, the emperor finally gave him a small reward, which was boring. "The emperor sent me, but I didn't accept it." The emperor then assigned the errand to Prince Rong.
I just want to be with you for a long time."
"If it's not a very tiring job, you can take it. Life will be interesting if you have something to do." Zhou Qiongyue is now worried about Yuan Bohua's health and his spirit.
