The prince said, "You said you could make 10 million in three years...but this 'trader' is not something that can be achieved overnight."
"I know!" Yan Shiyue said, "I published this 'Notice to the World' for... how should I put it, to be the 'stone' that stirs up a thousand waves. Later, I will find people to go to various places for selection and examination. The people I choose are prepared for 'state-owned enterprises'. This is what we have to do now. As long as we have people, the stall can be set up quickly."
She pointed at Xu Wenqu and said, "Sir, finish these two first, and then think about this one. You will also have to write it later. I will write the test questions and mark the papers myself. I will just make an announcement and see how much Aye agrees before deciding whether to use the official name."
The prince smiled and said, "So you also know that you have to convince Aye first!"
"Of course I know," Yan Shiyue said, "Don't worry, Aye is so smart, he will definitely understand my thoughts."
The prince was not optimistic about this, nor did he want to discourage her, so he just smiled and shook his head.
Qu Sinian said: "I just realized today that being a writer for the Prime Minister is not an easy thing."
He stood up and bowed: "Your Highness, Prime Minister, I will take my leave first."
The prince nodded, and Qu Sinian went down to get busy.
Xu Wenqu had been sitting quietly with his eyes closed, not moving a muscle, until Qu Sinian had been gone for a while. Then he raised his eyes, stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked to the table.
...
...
Yan Shiyue immediately came over to help him grind the ink. Xu Wenqu picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and finished it in one go without thinking.
The prince picked it up and looked at it carefully.
On the other side, Xu Wenqu changed his pen and began to write "A Letter to the World". He also finished it without thinking.
After reading the memorial, the prince was quite impressed and handed it to Yan Shiyue. Thinking that her ideas were new, chaotic and complicated, and not knowing how to write this letter to the world, he couldn't help but walk over and watch Xu Wenqu write.
Xu Wenqu's writing was as smooth as flowing water, even if he was memorizing it, he couldn't write that fast. Moreover, he wrote thousands of words in one go, and he didn't even revise them after he finished writing, and he put down his pen directly.
The prince was good at writing, so he stood over and read it first. He couldn't help but applaud and said, "As expected of Xu Liuyuan! Wonderful!"
Xu Wenqu bowed and said, "Your Highness, thank you for your compliment."
Yan Shiyue also lay on the table and blew on it. After the ink finally dried, she said, "Thank you, sir. I'm leaving now!"
She happily put it in her pocket and left.
Xu Wenqu also bowed to the prince and said, "Your Highness, I will take my leave."
The prince nodded and watched him go out.
Xu Wenqu is indeed full of talent, and what is rare is that he is smart and quick-witted. Yan Shiyue's ideas are always wild and unrestrained, and she herself can't quite explain them clearly, but he can understand them instantly, and then put them into writing, writing them down in a profound and beautiful way, with every word being a gem.
One person like this is worth ten thousand people.
Yan Shiyue rode his horse slowly back to the palace, thinking all the way.
At present, her greatest supporter is Emperor Ming Yan, and her biggest obstacle is also Emperor Ming Yan.
The limitations of the times are not easy to break. Just look at the cement and you can see what Emperor Ming Yan was thinking.
This is different from the original Mobei Kingdom.
Mobei is a serious threat to the country. The war with Dayan has been going on for too long. Emperor Mingyan is eager to solve it, so he is willing to try some new methods, and this new method is relatively risk-free.
But now, this, how should I put it, seems like a small thing, but it is actually driving changes in the social structure.
Others might not be able to see it, but Emperor Ming Yan was so wise that he could see it clearly at a glance.
Because of this, it is difficult to convince him.
When it comes to serious matters and state affairs, it is useless to act coquettishly or cutely.
Moreover, what she wanted was not for Emperor Ming Yan to "tolerate" her to do this for her sake, but she hoped that Emperor Ming Yan could understand and accept this concept, and then work with her to find a way to truly implement this matter.
The biggest shortcoming of scholars of this era is that they don’t understand economics. Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty was really very good, but... if he didn’t understand economics well enough, then in his opinion, this kind of change would most likely be the source of civil unrest.
Yan Shiyue had arrived at the imperial study, and seeing that there were still ministers waiting to see her outside, she was in no hurry to meet the emperor. She found a railing pillar, sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes and thought.
Many ministers looked at her from afar through the window and looked at each other in confusion.
The six ministers of the six ministries are usually rotated every few years. The matter of the treasury involves a wide range of issues, and it can be said that everyone in the court is in danger. However, when talking about the situation that day, they are truly impressed.
So even if she was just sitting here at this moment, people couldn't help but wonder what the deeper meaning was.
Yan Shiyue sat for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
One person's plan is short, but two people's plan is long! How could she forget that she had a natural ally in this matter, and she should not use it in vain.
She got up and left, got on her horse again, went to the Ministry of Personnel, and asked someone to call Yan Shirui out.
Yan Shirui said: "This is the first time you come to see me, what's the matter?"
Yan Shiyue looked around and whispered, "Has the list of all the officials in the Ministry of Revenue come out?"
Yan Shirui said: "Of course it came out, do you want it?"
"I don't want it," Yan Shiyue said, "Just tell me, how many people are there in Lin Fujian?"
"A lot," Yan Shirui said, "A lot, including students, old friends, senior brothers and friends, people from far and near, there are always more than a dozen people."
"Okay," Yan Shiyue said, "I understand."
Then she "flew" onto the horse in a very chic manner, pulled the reins and started off, taking two steps without looking around. She looked at Yan Shirui and said, "Second brother, it's strange that you didn't ask any further questions. This is not like your temper!"
Yan Shirui said with a fake smile: "Because I found that the more I asked, the more you kept me in suspense, so I simply stopped asking!"
Yan Shiyue smiled and nodded: "I see, I'll leave then."
"Hey!" Yan Shirui pulled the reins speechlessly: "If I don't ask you, you won't tell me?! Why are you asking this! What on earth are you going to do!"
Yan Shiyue took out the memorial with a smile and asked him to have a look. She bent down from her horse and whispered, "I want to go and have a talk with Lord Lin!" She snatched the memorial from him and rode away.
Over there, Emperor Ming Yan had heard that Yan Shiyue was sitting on the railing outside. When he was done, he asked Gu Jiuxing to bring him in. Gu Jiuxing bowed and said, "The young prince sat for a while, and then left."
Emperor Mingyan asked, "Are you impatient?"
"Not like that," Gu Jiuxing said, "When the little prince came down, he seemed to be thinking about something, and when he left, he seemed to have figured it out."
Emperor Ming Yan couldn't help but smile: "This probably came up with an idea to make money, but he's afraid that I won't agree. Who is he going to ask for advice again?"
He did feel that his health had indeed deteriorated in the past few days. As he spoke, he closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead. Gu Jiuxing said, "Your Majesty, I will get you the eye patch for the young prince. Can you take a rest?"
Emperor Mingyan nodded, asked someone to bring it, put on a hot towel and sat down, then asked: "Where did she go?"
