Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows: "How can such a small number of words be considered as a clever argument?"
"Let me give you an example. Suppose our newspaper has no news to report, but it has to publish tomorrow. What should we do? We have to increase the word count!"
"Just make a transcript of a celebrity interview and publish the conversation between the two in the newspaper. Then, wouldn't it be possible to have as much content as you want?"
"There are other ways... Anyway, just drink as much water as you want!"
Li Yuanzhao hesitated and said, "Wouldn't that be ugly? Who wants to watch nonsense?"
"Who cares if it looks good or not? It quenches my thirst!"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. The number of words in water is a science. Your Highness, you should find two books and study them carefully when you have time."

"On the other hand, it's one thing for us to be able to produce fabrics or ready-made clothes, but it's another thing to sell them! It's good to sell them one, and we can also use their existing stores to distribute the goods to the market. This is a win-win situation, don't you understand?"
"I understand! But where can we get 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver in our town?" Li Yuanzhao asked.
Fang Zhengyi said calmly, "So that the people of Dajing can wear good-quality and cheap clothes! I will pay for this!"
