One Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-Eight: Fake Public Benefit
Looking at the middle-aged Huang Song, looking back at her son Xiaoxiao, Jiang Pengji realized that someone was still too thin.
So, she recently had a new hobby, feeding Wei Ci in her spare time.
Putting salty fish in the live broadcast room to complain is a large-scale dog abuse scene, but they are still enjoying watching it, and they can't wait for the sweetness of the honey pot.
For example the following scenario -
"Is it sweet?"
Taking advantage of Wei Ci's inattention, Jiang Pengji stuffed a lemon-flavored lollipop into his mouth.
Wei Ci has recently gotten used to the weird sweets that his lord got from somewhere, they look weird, but they taste really good. He was dazed for a while, and was about to savor the taste carefully, when someone took the lollipop away and leaned forward to kiss it.
He smacked his lips and said, "The taste is indeed quite sweet."
Wei Ci: "..."
It was really unbearable for the protagonist to change his seductive methods. Wei Ci was not used to it at first, but he calmed down after more times.
Jiang Pengji returned the lollipop to him, and said with a smile, "The new flavor is said to be a Christmas limited edition."
Although Wei Ci, who is in his early thirties, actually likes sweets very much, but the sugar making technology of this era is very backward. Most of the artificial sugar is made of starch to make caramel. rare.
Even if they are noble families, they can't just eat candy casually.
For example, stone honey, a solid product made from sugar cane, was still a precious tribute in the Great Xia Dynasty, and not many people were eligible to enjoy it. Nowadays, the craftsmanship has improved a bit, but the supply objects are still narrow, and non-noble and wealthy households are not eligible to enjoy it.
The snacks that Jiang Pengji took out were purchased by the old chief, with exquisite packaging and a wide variety.
Wei Ci wasn't used to this kind of food at first, but after eating a few more pieces, he fell in love with it, and Jiang Pengji was also happy to feed it.
"It sounds precious."
Wei Ci didn't ask where these things came from, deliberately ignoring this point.
My protagonist is special, and there is no need to make a fuss if there are some inhuman methods.
Jiang Pengji said, "It is said that Christmas is a national holiday, and the products produced during the festival will be produced in limited quantities and sold in limited quantities."
Wei Ci asked a question from the soul, "Is it better to sell?"
"No, it's more expensive." Jiang Pengji said, "It's just a gimmick, and it's nothing more than taking advantage of people's mentality of 'rare things are more expensive' to take advantage of the opportunity to increase the price of things. The things are still the same things, but the name of the sale is different. , the packaging materials are different."
Wei Ci was a little surprised when he heard it, as if he hadn't expected such a commercial method.
"The merchant who came up with this method is really a talent."
This is like a scheme used by counselors to plot people's hearts.
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "A businessman, isn't it about making the most money with the least cost? If you're not a talent, how can you make money?"
Wei Ci said, "But if this is the case, isn't it too unfair to the people who sold the goods? Behaviors that disturb the market price are not advisable."
Merchants are too profitable, and the goods can earn ordinary people's money for several years. Will the common people be jealous?
At that time, every household will follow suit, who will feel at ease in Nongsang?
Without food output, the whole society will be in chaos, and there will be endless troubles.
Wei Ci knew that promoting commerce was beneficial to economic development, but he also had to constrain merchants so that they would not harm the country.
"If it's a healthy competition, it's advisable." Jiang Pengji said, "I intend to support merchants, but I won't let them grow bigger and bite me back. I have to set cumbersome rules from the beginning, so that they are always under my control. Medium. People’s farming and mulberry tax items should not be too many or too heavy, but taxation is the foundation of a country’s foundation. If there is less tax related to farming and mulberry, it will naturally be made up from other places..."
Wei Ci smiled and said, "My lord really doesn't want to suffer."
Jiang Pengji said, "Of course I won't suffer from anything I eat."
Seeing that Wei Ci loves sweets so much, she had some thoughts in her mind - she couldn't let the old chief make purchases on her behalf all the time, who knows what kind of mess he will go to next time,
What to do if there is no sugar - it is better to develop it yourself and improve the current sugar production process.
When Wei Ci heard that his master wanted to expand the scale of sugarcane planting, he suddenly had a sense of "I'm a blue face and a disaster".
"My lord, it's because of kindness...it's not right!"
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Candy is supposed to be a snack suitable for all ages. Not only do you like it, but children like it more, and I like it too. The production of this product is small, and not many people are eligible to enjoy it. Scale output, sales volume is definitely not bad.”
Wei Ci said, "But this thing is not necessary, how can we waste precious land for it?"
Jiang Pengji said, "Look at Maruzhou, because the people's lives are rich, and now the circle of celebrities has become popular with 'plump beauty'. It can be seen that the better the life of the people, the things they need are no longer food and clothing, but More enjoyment. I made this, but I actually wanted to hang it under the private treasury. After several battles, the private treasury is so poor that even mice can't even look at it, how will I raise a baby in the future?"
Even if there is no founding of the country now, everyone knows that Jiang Pengji will definitely become emperor.
Proclaimed emperor, she is the royal generation. In the past, the emperor's expenses were tied to the national treasury, but since Jiang Pengji's debut, her private treasury and public treasury have been independent, and it will be the same in Jianguo in the future. The royal expenditures are smuggled into the treasury, and the treasury is not moved, so as to avoid the extravagance of the emperor and chaos in the country.
In this way, whether the royal family is doing well or not depends on whether the private treasury is full or not.
Jiang Pengji naturally had to find a way to get a stable income for her private treasury.
She thinks that promoting small snacks is also good, benefiting the taste buds of the people and earning a little money.
Jiang Pengji gave Wei Ci an analysis, "We should not only look at the surface of everything, but also look at it in depth. The birth of a new industry will also create a large number of jobs, so that the idle people can settle down. If you have hope, you will naturally not think about it. Make trouble. Don’t think it’s just a small piece of candy, it can feed thousands of people. Zixiao, are you right? I’m really not a fake public servant.”
At most, it is to get inspiration from him, to benefit the common people, and at the same time satisfy the appetite of the little man.
Wei Ci: "..."
Knowing that these remarks are made up by his own master, but this person has a certain ability - to speak nonsense convincingly.
The so-called sugar in this era is mostly maltose, commonly known as maltose or 饧, and the other is maltose.
There are some ways to make sugar from sugarcane, but very few, because sugarcane is precious and the output is still small, and only the nobles are eligible to enjoy it.
Jiang Pengji made this decision with a slap in the face, but the people below could only carry it out bitterly.
No way, they can't play with their own protagonist.
The protagonist has written in detail how to plant sugarcane, how much sugarcane can be produced per mu of land, how to extract sugar juice to make sugar, and then to the production process of various flavors of sugar. How many jobs, how many people can have jobs, and the final income are all calculated. well-founded,
With proof, they have no room to refute.
