Chapter 202 3 The weathervane of a good man
Mu Qingqing put down the wine glass in her hand and talked cheerfully: "Whether the army is strong or not represents the rise and fall of a country. The soldiers in the army are glorious, brave and fearless. The country cannot abandon them just because they are injured in battle. This will easily affect morale, make the army lack cohesion, and bring many difficulties to future conscription. On the contrary, if the country can introduce good policies for retired soldiers, so that even if they are injured, they can arrange employment and enjoy their old age after retirement. Those soldiers who go to the battlefield will have no distractions and move forward courageously!"
"But..." Ye Nanli looked at Mu Qingqing, who was in high spirits and had a curved mouth, arrogant and frivolous eyes, and couldn't help but stammered, "But this requires a lot of money to support it. With the current financial resources of Donglin State, if a few natural disasters occur, the treasury will be stretched to the limit."
Mu Qingqing's heart was filled with various tones of shit, "I see those noble families in the capital are all very rich, right? Any bet they make starts at 100,000 taels!"
Mu Qingqing had learned in detail from Zuo San that a large part of the money she lost when betting in the gambling house was funded by the aristocratic families.
Including this time's chrysanthemum viewing banquet, most of the people who wrote IOUs to him were children of officials, and the children of aristocratic families were betting real money.
"Since ancient times, aristocratic families are permanent, but emperors come and go! This sentence is still very meaningful." Ye Nanli said indifferently.
My royal brother is still too kind and is very courteous to those noble families.
This made many children from noble families look down on others and act more noble than the royal children.
"That's right," Mu Qingqing couldn't help but laugh, "Then let's start with economic development. I have a lot of ideas and suggestions, all of which are beneficial to retired soldiers and the people. I'm just afraid that the emperor will have concerns..."
"You don't need to worry about this. My royal brother is very open-minded. As long as it's beneficial to the country and the people, he will accept it." Ye Nanli knew what she was worried about from her expression and answered in an affirmative tone.
"I'll write a plan when I have time, listing in detail all the clauses and conditions regarding retired soldiers. I'll take the lead in investing in construction, and you'll take care of the emperor's request. When you go back, prepare detailed information on retired soldiers for me, and I'll arrange their work and retirement issues after retirement." Mu Qingqing's voice was clear and as sweet as gold and jade.
It’s not that Ye Nanli doesn’t believe Mu Qingqing, it’s just that the number of disabled soldiers retreating from the battlefield is too large, and most of them are unable to work.
Although he knew that Mrs. Mu, as the richest person in Donglin Country, was financially strong, the follow-up supplies of retired soldiers were a bottomless pit. He was afraid that Mu Qingqing would not be able to keep up with the funds and would be too exhausted.
"Qingqing, do you know how huge the number of retired soldiers would be if all of them were added together?" Ye Nanli didn't want to make the two of them unhappy because of this matter.
The plan is to use courtesy before force, first explain the consequences, and then discuss the causes.
"How many can it be?" Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and asked wantonly, "It can't be hundreds of thousands, right?"
If this is the case, then the number of retired disabled soldiers is not proportional to the number of active soldiers! According to Zuo San, the current total strength of the Donglin Kingdom is only one million.
This means that the commander of Donglin Kingdom is not good at fighting!
"That's not so many! But the number of disabled soldiers in the four frontiers added together is definitely around 50,000 or 60,000." Ye Nanli replied after making an estimate in his mind.
"Hey, that's no problem!" Mu Qingqing smiled. Here came the opportunity to make money. "Everyone needs food, clothing and daily necessities. I can open an assembly line industry, produce and sell by myself, so that these retired soldiers can find suitable jobs. After that, I can use the monopoly industries produced to make money from the other three countries!"
"But this requires a lot of money as a foundation." Ye Nanli looked at the excited Mu Qingqing with a worried look, "I'm afraid you can't afford it."
"You don't have to worry about that!" Mu Qingqing poured him half a glass of red wine in a new goblet and handed it to him, "I have a backer! However, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. After the New Year, you should talk to the emperor and build a few commercial avenues around Shengjing City. However, they must be built before the Four Kingdoms Tournament, which will cost a lot of manpower and material resources. And my Tianxia Diyilou will also start business before the Four Kingdoms Tournament, and then I will make a lot of money from them."
Ye Nanli took two sips of red wine to moisten her lips, and said in a hoarse and sexy voice: "Well, from now on, everything in the Sixth Prince's Mansion belongs to Qingqing. If you don't have enough money, go to Yun Hao, he controls 80% of the business in the Sixth Prince's Mansion."
Another 20% of the business is overt, with profits not being very obvious.
What?! Mu Qingqing's eyes widened. Does this mean that she has to hand in her salary card?
Mu Qingqing's calm heart was beating like a deer. This man was more considerate than she had imagined. He was truly a model of a good man.
Seeing Ye Nanli looking at her with gentle and doting eyes, the feminine Mu Qingqing turned away guiltily, and after two dry coughs, she said, "This brother still needs to settle accounts. Don't worry about the business, I will coordinate with Yun Hao. Of course, the accounts should be done separately. I have a few small projects to cooperate with the emperor, and I promised to give him 50% of the profits to fill his coffers. Yun Hao can take over these, which is our common business. As for the rest, each of us will take care of our own business, but we can share resources."
"Okay, I'll listen to Qingqing." Ye Nanli said softly with a smile as gentle as jade on her face.
Ren is good at learning the ways of his father-in-law as a henpecked child, and he is even better than the teacher.
Here it comes again! Can't you just talk properly? How can I, a little woman with lustful thoughts but no guts, deal with this?! Mu Qingqing couldn't stand the overly doting look the other person gave her, and secretly retorted in her heart.
The main reason is that I was too strong in my previous life, and no one of the opposite sex dared to have any bad intentions towards me.
As a result, I am still a single, wealthy and beautiful girl at the age of 28.
"By the way, how many soldiers are you bringing this time? I'll go prepare some frostbite cream later. I plan to sponsor a bottle of frostbite cream to each soldier of Donglin Kingdom as a blessing for our wedding." Mu Qingqing, who had deliberately changed the topic to break the awkward atmosphere, became increasingly quiet as she spoke.
This is really a case of bringing up something that is not relevant! You are making yourself sound like you really want to get married, which is even more embarrassing, isn't it?
Ye Nanli has also learned a lot about frostbite cream in the past few days.
The main reason is that the talkative Zuo Si always showed off Mu Qingqing whenever he came to report the situation recently.
From invincible artifacts to heroic deeds, from heroic deeds to invincible special medicines, and from invincible special medicines to various mysterious skills...
In short, now in Zuo Si’s heart, Mu Qingqing is a little fairy who can do everything!
His status has completely surpassed that of the original master!
A few days ago, I learned from Zuo Si about the effectiveness of this frostbite cream! He even specially contributed a bottle to his colleagues in the other hospital.
Who would have thought that in just a few short days, these grown men would know what fair bones and skin as white as cream meant.
The key point is that such skin actually appears on the secret guards who have practiced martial arts for many years and have thick skin and flesh.
Those who are chosen to be secret guards must have good looks and demeanor, but they have never thought that one day they will have the potential to be a gigolo.
You can imagine how amazing the effect of this frostbite cream is!
Such a plaster must be very expensive, but Qingqing actually said that everyone should have one!
Is the price of this wedding blessing too high?
But I was secretly delighted in my heart. Did this mean that Qingqing also cared about this wedding? Otherwise, why would she invest so much money?
