Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 793: ：Princess Shengshan

Yu Youyao picked up the tea cup and lowered his head to take a sip of tea: "The landform of Liancheng is similar to that of Quanzhou. There is also a saying that eight mountains, one water and one land are divided into eight mountains. Most of the mountain forests are naturally grown oak forests, so Liancheng has cultivated trees since ancient times. As for the tradition of tussah silkworms, many silkworm farmers make a living by raising tussah silkworms."

Finally here! Mr. Li, who was exhausted mentally and physically after having been led through a long circle by Princess Shaoyi, felt a sense of relief that the dust had settled and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just listen to what Princess Shaoyi says.

How could he, a small seventh-grade county magistrate, outplay a dignified princess under the eyes of King Wu Mu?

If County Master Shaoyi is seeking personal gain, he can still deal with it.

But Shaoyi County Lord is so upright and upright for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the city. If he didn't know what to do, would he have to wait for the refugees to rush into the city and fight with him?

Knowing the current affairs is a hero!

After thinking about this, Mr. Li relaxed a little: "Liancheng silkworm farming started in the Han Dynasty. Every household planted tussah trees, and the family raised tussah silkworms to supplement the household income, but..."

He didn't say the next words, but Yu Youyao knew it well: "I heard before that King Wu Mu found someone who was proficient in raising silkworms to teach the refugees how to raise silkworms. I think this method is very good, but I just saw that the spring silkworms were about to bloom. Now that you have raised the silkworms and learned the techniques of raising them, you should also come up with a regulation on how to raise them."

Master Li actively chatted: "In your opinion, Princess?"

Yu Youyao smiled and said: "Nanzhao County, Henan Province is known as the hometown of tussah silkworms, but in fact, Liao Province has more advantages in sericulture than Henan. Among them, Dandong is the largest, followed by Liancheng. However, both Dandong and Liancheng have the largest scale of sericulture. , the silk output is not as good as that of Nanzhao County."

How could Mr. Li not know that the local gentry had joined forces to control the tussah business, oppressed retail investors, exploited sericulture farmers, and hindered the development of sericulture.

Yu Youyao ignored this issue without mentioning it, and only said: "Liancheng is close to the extreme northern sea, and its population is far less than that in the hinterland of the Central Plains such as Henan and Shandong. It is not an exaggeration to say that the land is vast and the people are sparse. In terms of human resources, The gap is also the fundamental reason for the low silk production."

Not only Liancheng, the entire Liao Province and even the three northeastern provinces are vast and sparsely populated.

Few people means low productivity.

With low productivity, agriculture, industry and commerce cannot develop.

If the Northern Territory wants to develop, the first priority is population. I think this is part of the reason why Yin Huaixi spares no effort to accommodate refugees from all over the country.

Master Li lowered his head. Princess Shaoyi knew the entire Liancheng and even the three northeastern provinces thoroughly, so in front of her, he always felt that he had nothing to hide. He spent the whole night thinking about it last night. He was talking nonsense, but when he came to Princess Shaoyi, he didn't dare to say a word.

Yu Youyao chuckled: "King Wu Mu also had his own considerations for accepting the refugees. Liancheng has the natural advantage of raising silkworms. The immigration of refugees will cause certain troubles to the government, but it is also an opportunity for development for Liancheng. As long as it follows the example of Nanzhao County, develop the population and expand the scale of sericulture. The tussah silkworms are available in spring and autumn a year, the silkworm pupae can be eaten, and the residue can be fed to fish, livestock, and poultry, and the city can be stable for at most one year."

The tussah silkworm is actually an insect that spins silk and eats a lot. Unlike the mulberry silkworm, it can be raised domestically.

Most of them are placed on oak trees, so a lot of manpower is needed.

The advantage of sericulture in Liancheng is so great that it can accommodate 300,000 refugees. This is still a conservative estimate.

Princess Shaoyi was not red-faced, but she proposed a solution to the livelihood of the refugees, and put all the benefits of accepting the refugees in front of him. If he didn't accept it, he would be a fool.

Just!

Master Li was a little embarrassed: "The princess is saintly and dedicated to the people. I admire her very much, but the four families..."

Expanding the scale of sericulture will not only offend the interests of the four families, but also the interests of the entire chain behind the four families. He, a seventh-grade county magistrate, cannot afford to offend.

Yu Youyao understood: "Liancheng's sericulture is controlled by everyone. The silk produced by the four major families has priority over the purchase of military supplies. Over the years, I have worked hard to expand the scale of sericulture and solve the livelihood problems of the refugees. I can't do it anymore. Let the four families contribute their efforts. Mr. Li has to be busy resettling the refugees, but he is unable to do anything at all, and it will not make Mr. Li difficult."

Master Li's eyelids twitched heavily, and he had a bad feeling.

Sure enough!

Yu Youyao changed the topic: "How about this? I also have two sericulture villages in Liancheng. I will take the lead and join hands with local retail investors to form a certain scale of sericulture and exchange experience and technology on sericulture. , where there is communication, there will be gains. The technology of sericulture can also be improved, the production of silk can also be increased, and the scale of sericulture can also be expanded. Raising sericulture requires a lot of manpower. If the refugees learn the technology of sericulture, they can rely on themselves. Mountain, living by raising silkworms in trees."

"This, this, Princess, you..." Mr. Li's legs went weak. The retail investors gathered together and were enough to impact the entire Liancheng Tussah business. It was clear that they were going to go against the four major families!

Even if this matter does not require his intervention, as Liancheng's parent official, he will be affected.

Yu Youyao waited for a while, but before he could say anything, he continued: "The silks of retail investors were collected and sold without any effort from the four families. I knew King Wu Mu well, so I traded them directly to Youjun. , Youjun has the privilege of being exempted from salt tribute and can purchase some military supplies on his own. The small amount of silk produced by retail households can still be eaten."

Master Li is soaked with sweat. Not only does he have to confront the four families, but he also wants to cut off the four families' financial resources.

You must know that the imperial court has a quota for purchasing military supplies.

King Wu Mu took orders from retail investors. It is conceivable that the court's purchases will be relatively reduced, and the transactions between the four major families and the court will also be reduced accordingly.

The four major players can no longer exploit retail investors and make huge profits by buying low and selling high. ~IndoMTL.com~ The large quantities of silk produced at home must be kept in hand. Even if a channel is found, a large amount of silk will flow into the market, and the price of silkworms will inevitably go down.

It is conceivable that the losses are huge.

The people behind the Four Families, even if they have powerful eyes and hands, can they still get on the head of the vassal king who has a lot of troops? Is it because there are too many heads and not enough to cut off, or is it because the heads are not falling fast enough?

Some people in the DPRK will be dissatisfied when their profits are less, and they will be angry with the Four Families. The Four Families will also have to spend additional money to manage things up and down, inside and outside.

It was like losing his wife and losing his troops.

Yu Youyao chuckled softly: "I did this to give the refugees a livelihood, but King Wu Mu took the order from retail investors, and the four families would inevitably suffer losses. I have a merchant ship under my name, and my mother-in-law's Xie Mansion has transferred When we get to the north, we will also do silk business. When the time comes, I will step in to buy the silk from the four families and help them avoid losses."

Master Li was speechless. This is treating others in their own way.
