Not only did all the civil and military officials in the court not believe this, even Xia Changan himself felt a little uneasy.
To be honest, she herself was not sure that she could make enough money in such a short time. But she was the emperor after all, so she had to stand up at this time.
Forget it, everything depends on human effort. Maybe after trying hard, it will really work. Xia Changan thought optimistically.
"I need some time to think carefully. Today's court meeting ends here. My dear ministers, please go away."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Changan slipped away. But she was not running away. The reason she left in such a hurry was to perfect her plan as soon as possible.
She already had a general plan just now, but there were still many details that needed to be carefully considered.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
On the surface, the ministers were respectfully bidding Xia Changan farewell, but in their hearts they were all worried. It was obvious that they had no hope for the solution Xia Changan had proposed.
A group of ministers left the hall sighing and chatting as they walked.
Cao Shen pulled Yan Huazhang to complain, "Master Yan, I am so frustrated as the Minister of Finance. Since I took this position, I have never had enough money. The officials from other departments have been complaining behind my back that I am a stingy person. But they don't know my difficulties at all. A good cook cannot cook without rice. The treasury is empty. How can I prepare a budget for them? I am really miserable!"
Yan Huazhang was panicked by his tearful behavior. He could neither push him away nor say anything to him because of his pitiful appearance. He was forced to let him stand aside, holding his court robes in disarray in the wind.
When the other ministers heard his complaints, they also felt uncomfortable and began to refute.
"Hey, Lord Cao, it sounds like we are deliberately making things difficult for you. We apply for budgets from you for a reason. When was it not for national affairs? When was it not necessary to spend money?"
"That's right. We didn't apply for funding randomly. We did it out of necessity. For example, for this Central Plains Spiritual Master Competition, we have to entertain delegations from 85 participating countries. With so many mouths to feed, it will cost a lot of money. The funding I asked you for was not too much at all!"
"Exactly! It's been five months since the last competition, and many buildings need repairs. We can't save any money."
"Lord Cao, in my opinion, you don't need to worry too much. His Majesty has already said that there is a way to solve it, which means he must have been sure of it. Maybe His Majesty will show his power and bring a large amount of money to the national treasury all of a sudden."
A group of ministers, young and old, gathered outside the hall and talked. Although they were verbally comforting Cao Shen, only they themselves knew whether they really had such confidence in Xia Changan.
At this time, Xia Changan, who had already arrived at the palace, was unaware of the ministers' worries. She was considering what to use as Daxia's main specialty product.
That's right, the idea she came up with was to do business. Although the people of Daxia were quite wealthy, a country that wanted to make money naturally couldn't just focus on its own citizens.
Increasing taxes is not a long-term solution. Moreover, Daxia already has many tax items of various kinds. Increasing them further will cause public resentment.
Therefore, Xia Changan never thought about increasing taxes. She wanted to do business with other kingdoms and earn foreign exchange income.
Since it is a business, it naturally needs products. Ordinary agricultural products and spiritual materials are just so-so in the market competitiveness of Zhongzhou.
It's okay to earn some hard work, but it's impossible to make a lot of money from it. So she must choose her main products carefully.
Because time was tight, it was impractical to research a new product on the spur of the moment. And the only thing she had seemed to be an idea.
How about selling this first? Anyway, the manufacturing cost of Lingji is very low, and the production is also very high. Almost as many as you want. And it has a lot of uses. It must be very popular in other kingdoms.
Well, the more I think about it, the more I think this is going to work. So let's just do it.
But I can't just sit there and do nothing. I have to set up a school to continue researching my spiritual products. I can't just do it by myself.
Xia Changan buried his head in writing and soon finished a plan.
At the court meeting on the second day, the ministers were still worried and listless, except Xia Changan, who was refreshed and confident.
"After much thought, I have decided to open several royal industries. These include, but are not limited to, equipment refineries that refine and sell various psychic products, mobile communication providers that provide communication networks, and advanced institutions that research and apply psychic technology. Of course, many of these industries cannot directly make a profit in the short term. But there is one psychic product that can definitely make money immediately and quickly fill the empty treasury."
Xia Changan paused for a moment, and after the curiosity of the ministers was fully aroused, he continued, "That is the inspiration! The manufacturing method of this thing is extremely simple, and the price is also very low. But because of its outstanding effect, if it comes out, it will definitely replace the market of communication symbols directly."
"In addition, I can also refine a version that can be used without spiritual power. In this way, the market value of Lingji will be multiplied several times. Cao Shen, how to use Lingji to squeeze out the money of other kingdoms? I will teach you."
Xia Changan's words were a wake-up call for Cao Shen. At this moment, his eyes were full of glittering spiritual stones. He had a feeling that the treasury of Daxia could finally be saved.
The ministers in the court and Xia Changan all smiled knowingly, and a group of foxes, big and small, began to make their own plans in their hearts.
Xia Changan was thinking that those blood-sucking insects always took advantage of Da Xia, and it was time for them to bleed. Da Xia couldn't always suffer unilaterally.
And what those old foxes were thinking was, who knows the benefits of this inspiration. It is a blessing for those kingdoms that Daxia is willing to sell such a good tool to the outside world.
They must find a way to get more money out of those people, but they must not let those small kingdoms get away with it.
Although Xia Changan and the ministers had different ideas, their ultimate goal was the same, which meant that those kingdoms would bleed heavily.
But this also proves the saying that the wool comes from the sheep.
At the end of the day's court meeting, every minister was refreshed, with their swords sharpened, ready to attack the pigs and sheep.
Xia Changan was also very happy. The day's work was almost finished, and she could happily retreat again.
Speaking of chain repair, because she has an automatic chain repair program, her strength has made some small breakthroughs in recent days. She is now a fifth-level spiritual master.
Although this is also inseparable from her hard work in repairing the chain, the automatic chain repair program is indeed great.
