I Just Won't Play By The Book



"Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt, but with the current grain reserves and production technology of our county, it's very difficult for us to afford the population migration policy you mentioned."

"We already have a way to solve the problem of food."

"Your Majesty, in this planned economic policy, you proposed the privatization of property, encouraged industry and commerce, and promoted the equality of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Your Majesty, you may not have dealt with those merchants before, but their treachery is beyond your imagination. If you don't control them, to put it more seriously, it's possible that they'll break the etiquette."

Puchi.

Jiang Beiran laughed when he heard this.'I've never come into contact with businessmen? Have you heard of 11/11? Have you heard of 9.9 RMB? Have you ever heard of the One Dollar Snatch iPhone?

But that was exactly what Jiang Beiran wanted!

Of course, he understood that the privatization of property would fully arouse the greed of those businessmen, oh no, everyone, but at the same time, it would also completely " awaken " their intelligence.

Eating from the same big pot would only make everyone not want to improve. No matter how hard I work, I will eat the same thing as you. Then who will work hard and use their brains?

Although merchants also plundered money from the bottom of the commoner's hands, they would at least value the user experience and shout the slogan of " user first." They were much better than the landowners and nobles who did not treat civilians and slaves as humans.

At the very least, businessmen knew the difference between a full meal and a full meal. They would not go overboard even if they were fishing for fish.

Smiling, Jiang Beiran looked at the clan leader who had raised the question and replied,""No matter how treacherous those merchants are, they are still under the control of the various clan leaders. Moreover, regarding the control methods of these merchants, Zhen has already written it very clearly in the proposal. You can read it a few more times.."

Just as he finished answering, another clan leader stood up and asked," Your Majesty, what you said in the book about establishing basic economic concepts, issuing paper money, and separating the mint from the imperial court…In my humble opinion, this will cause chaos in the market."

Rubbing the bridge of his nose impatiently, Jiang Beiran glared at the clan leader and said,""It seems that you have been sleepwalking in the four hours I gave you. Listen well, I have explained the questions you raised in the book. Have you read the chapter on the benefits of supercurrency carefully?"

"This…"

"Have you seen the establishment of exchange banks, the implementation of the reserve fund system, and the basic deposit, loan, and interest systems?"

"I..."

"Bang!" Jiang Beiran slammed his hand on the table." I'll give you four more hours. If you're still going to ask such stupid questions after four hours, it'll mean that you need a new chief!""

Sensing the majesty that suddenly erupted from the Emperor, the clan leaders who were at least mystic cultivators felt that they were being suppressed. They even felt as if they were really facing Sect Master Lu.

Seeing that all the clan leaders had obediently opened their books and started reading again, Muyao couldn't help but glance at Jiang Beiran, who was resting with his eyes closed. It felt like his head was glowing.

'Why does he know so many things…I had never heard of the reforms he was talking about, but he was able to formulate them so comprehensively. Even when faced with so many questions, he could easily answer them.'

Muyao used to think that her brother was the most powerful person in the world, but ever since she met Jiang Beiran, her understanding of everything had been overturned time and time again.

Besides, Jiang Beiran's strength had always been a mystery to her. Ever since Jiang Beiran had subdued that Mythical level traitor from the Kingdom of Liang, although Muyao had tried her best not to recall that incident, she still couldn't help but wonder if he was even more powerful than her father.

After all, even his father couldn't find him when he was locked up in Lanzhou, but he found him easily.

'But he knows so many strange abilities.'

Muyao was now certain that Jiang Beiran was the mysterious person who had saved her, but another question arose in his mind.

'Why did he save me…'

Muyao recalled the times she had spent with Jiang Beiran in Lanzhou and realized that they had mostly been bickering. Fine, it was her side bickering, and Jiang Beiran had always ignored her.

Even when they parted ways at Sunset Town, he was so impatient.

But under such circumstances, he still risked his life to save her. He didn't even have a motive. If Qianqian hadn't accidentally let it slip, she would never have thought that this person would save her.

'This person's thoughts…I really can't guess at all.

Four hours passed quickly as Muyao asked her own questions. This time, the clan leaders didn't dare to be half-hearted. Instead, they began to read seriously.

If one were to say that the so-called proposal was nonsense at first glance, then after a round of questioning, they already knew that the emperor was not someone who would make a decision on the spot. Every clause in it had been carefully considered by him and was feasible.

Therefore, when the second round of questions and answers began, the quality of the questions asked by these clan leaders increased greatly. Many of them even asked the right questions.

After answering another clan leader's question, Jiang Beiran pressed his hands together and said,""It seems that the biggest question of all the clan leaders is now focused on one problem, and that is the initial resources. You can rest assured about this. I will use the power of the entire country to make Lulin County rich first. You don't have to worry about this. As long as you can do what I give you, the resources will definitely not be lacking."
