Liu Yan paused for a moment, then shook his head. "No, he is a close advisor to the emperor. If he dies here, it may bring disaster upon us!"
Liu Zhong nodded upon hearing this and was about to leave when Liu Yan suddenly called him back.
"etc!"
"What are your orders, Master?" Liu Zhong paused, looking at Liu Yan with some confusion.
"Tell them to recruit more people, speed up production, double the daily sales volume, and lower the price to one hundred coins!"
Liu Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Wouldn't that increase the expenses of the official granary? If it can't be replenished in time, I'm afraid it will be noticed!"
Liu Yan smiled slightly and explained, "That's why we need to increase production, lower prices, and sell the curved plows as soon as possible. Then we can use the money from the sales to buy grain and replenish the official granary!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhong couldn't help but flatter, "Master is wise! In this way, not only has our reputation for virtue been spread and our national policy been implemented, but we have also made a lot of money for nothing. It's truly killing three birds with one stone!"
"Heh~ Alright, give the orders!"
"promise!"
The next day, Tian Feng personally led a group to visit Liu Yan again, and then began to register the identities of the refugees in the workshop. Tian Feng and his men worked for a whole day to complete the registration of all the refugees, and Liu Yan personally escorted Tian Feng and his men out of the workshop.
Tian Feng bowed slightly to Liu Yan, "Now that this matter is settled, I will take my leave. I will come back to collect the people after the curved plow has been successfully promoted!"
"good!"
Liu Yan smiled and nodded, but as he watched Tian Feng's departing figure, the smile on Liu Yan's face gradually disappeared.
Under Liu Yan's instructions, the Su family and the workshops they controlled began full-scale manufacturing.
A few days later, not only in Jizhou, but also in other prefectures and counties, the price of curved plows hit a new low.
In an instant, not only in Jizhou, but also in other regions, powerful families joined forces and gritted their teeth to lower prices in order to resist Liu Yan, which greatly reduced the sales speed of the curved plows in the hands of Liu Yan and the Su family.
In Deyang Palace, after reading the secret letter sent by Jia Xu and Tian Feng, Liu Hong handed it to Xi Zhicai beside him.
After Xi Zhicai finished reading, Liu Hong asked, "Zhicai, what do you think I should do?"
After careful consideration, Xi Zhicai said, "Wenhe's plan is very ambitious. By using Governor Liu, he has almost managed to scheme against all the powerful families and clans of the Han Dynasty, successfully attracting their hatred."
This not only accelerated the promotion of the curved-shaft plow but also brought tangible benefits to the people. Once the task is accomplished, it will be a natural step to promote Governor Liu, and Your Majesty and the court will suffer no loss!
Liu Hong smiled and nodded, saying nothing, but continued looking at Xi Zhicai, asking with a laugh, "Anything else?"
Seeing the emperor's expression, Xi Zhicai smiled and shook his head slightly, giving the emperor a helpless look. "You already know, why do you still have to ask me?"
Although he thought that way, Xi Zhicai still said, "Wenhe's plan can be said to be flawless, but it has a fatal flaw!"
How deadly?
