Chapter 936

These phenomena indicated that Great Qin's current commerce had only just taken a step. There were even greater development prospects in the future!

How could one not be excited?

Shen Wansan came to the Great Ming Palace to report the recent situation to Qin Mu.

"Your Majesty, commerce has been very active recently, and fiscal revenue has increased several times compared to the beginning of the year. The copper coins in the national treasury are now endless to spend!" When talking about the national treasury, Shen Wansan was full of excitement.

In history, there had never been an era where the money in the national treasury could not be spent.

And this most absolute moment in history was caught up by him.

What kind of glory was this?

With so much money in his hands, the first thing Qin Mu thought of was expanding the navy.

Previously, he had just split the East Sea Navy into a Southern Navy. It was just one becoming two, but the number of warships and the number of sailors had not changed.

Since there was money, then build ships on a large scale!

"Shen Wansan, since these things sell so well, what is your plan for the next step?"

When asked about future plans, Shen Wansan appeared a bit excited.

"Your Majesty, since these goods are so popular, it means that our Great Qin common people have money and their purchasing power has increased.

I think we should build more brothels in the world to make the common people happy!"

Qin Mu scolded him with a laugh.

"You unscrupulous thing, opening so many brothels, where would you get so many singing girls and dancing girls?

Are you encouraging common women to go into this line of work?"

A single question stunned Shen Wansan.

He really hadn't thought that much; at the time, his brain just flashed, and he felt that since the common people had money, they should go find fun. This kind of life was what was called happiness.

But he was hit on the key point by Qin Mu's words!

Why did every dynasty have many restrictions on brothels?

It was for fear that common women would envy the high income of singing and dancing girls and flock to this line of work. Wouldn't the world be in chaos then?

Although Qin Mu's tone was relaxed, the issue he raised was very serious!

Shen Wansan knelt down with a thud, his old face flushed red with shame.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong! Governing the world indeed cannot be done by blindly following interests.

I hope Your Majesty will guide me so that I can be clear about what to do next?"

Qin Mu nodded.

Shen Wansan's way of reflecting on his mistakes in time made Qin Mu retain expectations for him.

Although the words just now were not heavy, Qin Mu was actually very serious.

If a fundamental error occurred in the philosophy of governing the country, such an official could not be used.

Fortunately, Shen Wansan turned around in time and didn't let himself head straight for the cliff.

"Since selling things makes money, then continue selling things. Let the artisans ponder more things that are beneficial to the lives of the common people.

For example, use high-quality pig iron to cast new-style iron pots."

Qin Mu was just giving a casual reminder.

Since Shen Wansan was in charge of commerce, he should have a clear understanding of the trends among the common people.

Guide according to the situation, constantly develop new products, and produce things that are more popular with the common people.

In the imperial palace, they used new-style iron pots.

As soon as Shen Wansan thought of that pot, his eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, the new-style iron pot is lighter and more durable than the previous ones, and the quality is better, so it will definitely be welcomed by the common people.

However, because the quality of the pig iron used is very good. I'm afraid that enemy countries will buy it, remelt it, and manufacture it into weapons?"

Shen Wansan's implication pointed to Great Tang.

After all, Great Tang was nearby and was the enemy that needed to be guarded against the most.

Qin Mu, however, was not worried about this matter.

He reminded Shen Wansan.

"Nowadays, Great Qin's strategy toward Great Tang is no longer direct hostility. The attitude of the Tang people toward Great Qin is also slowly changing.

Even if there is a war in the future, do you think the Great Tang soldiers will treat the Qin people as mortal enemies?

If the human heart is soft, how can the knife be hard?

Is there still a need to guard against it?"

This... the argument was quite novel.

Shen Wansan pondered over and over, but couldn't find a single loophole.

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable!"

Indeed, ever since Great Qin and Great Tang divided the river and ruled, the attitude of the Tang people had also begun to change.

And the strategies adopted by Great Qin afterward were not aimed at the Great Tang common people.

Instead, they were constantly winning the favor of the Great Tang common people, striving to get them to migrate to Great Qin to live.

Under such a strategy, how could the Great Tang common people still be so hostile?

The hostile ones were only the Great Tang imperial court.

Once a war started, no matter how sharp the weapons Great Tang possessed, because the soldiers had no heart for battle, they wouldn't have very strong aggressiveness.

In this situation, selling high-quality pig iron to Great Tang didn't seem to pose much of a threat to Great Qin.

Qin Mu was worried that Shen Wansan didn't attach enough importance to iron pots, so he added a few more sentences.

"Shen Wansan, don't underestimate such a simple thing as an iron pot. In many poor families,

when dividing the family, there are not a few who have disputes because of an iron pot."

"So powerful?"

Shen Wansan was somewhat disbelieving.

Because the situation he saw was somewhat different from what Qin Mu said.

But since the Emperor had spoken, how could he dare to disobey?

Yet he kept the intention of verifying it in his heart.

, the iron pot was their most important item.
