NOVEL WEB Chapter 32
After finishing the explanation, Yaoyao excitedly slid down the mountain.
However, the stunningly beautiful woman fell into deep thought because Lin Beifan’s economic theories had opened up a new world for her.
The common people don’t have money in their hands, which is why the economy is languishing and the market is depressed.
If we want to revitalize the economy, we must first ensure that the common people have money.
Therefore, by offering high wages, we let the common people have money to spend.
Once the common people have money in their hands, they will surely go out to consume and buy things.
Buying things requires merchants, and so the number of merchants increases, and naturally, the merchants make money.
After the merchants make money, they will certainly want to earn more, so they expand the scale of their business, and this requires hiring people.
As a result, more common people found work and earned money.
Everyone made money, and so they continued to spend, creating a cycle that repeated itself…During this process, the imperial court could collect money through taxation and other means, also making a profit.
So in the end, the amount of money remained the same, but everyone earned, and everyone achieved common prosperity.
She had never imagined that the economy could be revitalized in such a way.
It sounded unbelievable, but upon closer consideration, it made a lot of sense.
The stunning beauty sighed, “Let’s just wait and see! If this really works out, it would mean that Lin Beifan is not an incompetent and misguided ruler, but rather terrifyingly intelligent, with a mindset that far surpasses his contemporaries!”
……
Several days passed, and Yaoyao arrived in the Xia Kingdom with cart after cart of supplies.
Lin Beifan was very surprised, “These are…”
Yaoyao waved her hand, “These are the supplies for the ore exchange. I’ve brought them to you in advance! What do you think, am I a good friend or what?”
Lin Beifan was even more astonished, “But the ore hasn’t been mined yet!”
Yaoyao waved her hand again, “No problem, just give it to me after you’ve mined it. Can’t you just owe me?”
Lin Beifan was very touched, “Yaoyao, you truly are a good girl!”
“It’s good that you know!”
Yaoyao, hands on her hips, lifted her little head with a proud and coquettish attitude. “Look how hard I’ve worked to help you. How do you plan to thank me?”
Lin Beifan casually picked a flower. “Here, a flower for you…”
Yaoyao refused, “Forget it. I’m not some little girl who can be charmed by a few flowers! I want a sincere gift, something priceless and unique!”
Lin Beifan lamented, “It seems I’ll have to really splurge this time!”
“What splurge? Hand it over!” Yaoyao stretched out her hand, full of anticipation.
Lin Beifan said, “I can’t give it rightr now, come back tonight!”
Yaoyao was very curious, “What gift? It must be given at night? Can’t it be now?”
“Of course not now, because…”
Lin Beifan leaned close to Yaoyao’s ear shyly and softly said, “I plan to give myself to you!”
Yaoyao: “…”
In an instant, Yaoyao’s face turned red and she said with a mix of embarrassment and anger, “You’re going to die, you foolish emperor!”
She stretched out her little hand and pinched Lin Beifan fiercely.
Lin Beifan: “Ow, ow, ow, ow…”
…….
At this time, due to the attractive recruitment conditions, the court quickly filled its vacancies. Miners mined, pioneers cleared new lands, and soldiers enlisted. Everyone was bustling about enthusiastically, and everything was developing in a positive direction.
Lin Beifan remained in the imperial palace, enjoying the gentle comforts of his consort Wang Xiangjun, so content that he did not yearn for anything else.
But at that moment, Heshen hurried over in a rush: “Your Majesty, there is terrible news!”
Lin Beifan was very calm: “Minister, what is the matter that has you in such a hurry?”
“Your Majesty, there are too many refugees outside. They hope that our court can provide them with work and food to eat!” Heshen reported loudly.
Lin Beifan remained calm: “Let them come. Just have them follow the rules and go mining or farming!”
“But Your Majesty, we have already recruited as many people as we can!”
Heshen said with a wry smile, “Yet nearly 300,000 refugees have come. There are too many! If we do not handle this properly, I fear it may lead to undesirable consequences. Please, Your Majesty, consider this carefully!”
“Really? Then I shall accompany you to have a look!”
Lin Beifan had known about this matter for some time and was not at all flustered. He followed Heshen leisurely to the city gates.
Looking out, he indeed saw a vast crowd covering the hills, noisy and somewhat chaotic.
Heshen shouted loudly, “His Majesty has arrived, why have you not yet paid your respects and kowtowed?”
“Long live the Emperor, may the Emperor live for ten thousand years!”
The voices came like a tidal wave.
Lin Beifan waved his hand, “Everyone, please rise! I hear you are refugees from various countries. What brings you here exactly?”
The refugees immediately began to plead.
“Your Majesty, we have heard that the Xia Kingdom is recruiting workers, so we have come here in admiration, begging Your Majesty to grant us a meal!”
“We don’t ask for wages, just as long as we have food to eat!”
“Please show us mercy, Your Majesty, give us a way to live; it’s been several days since we’ve had food!”
“Your Majesty…”
