The owner of the workshop purchased raw materials from the people for production, solving the problem of raw material supply and reducing costs. With workers available, the manpower problem was solved.
As long as the owner of the workshop did not have to worry about business, he could support all the people in the workshop, as well as the villagers in the surrounding villages who supplied raw materials to the workshop.
At the same time, when the workshop’s business improved, the taxes paid to the court increased.
The villagers had money in their hands, so they would not owe the imperial court grain taxes and so on every year.
It was truly a win-win situation for all three parties!
“If you want to be rich, build roads first.” What a brilliant conclusion!
It was indeed easier to develop in a place with good transportation…
Emperor Yan’s eyes lit up when he heard that.
He did not expect Lin Xiaoyue to come up with such ideas.
Soon, he actually started discussing it with Lin Xiaoyue.
When they reached the dining area, they did not even have the intention to stop.
Helet Lin Xiaoyue sit on the right side of him so that it was convenient for him to continue discussing with her.
Liu Wuji, who was sitting on the lower left of Emperor Yan, did not have any objections. He also looked at his granddaughter curiously, looking forward to hearing more of her insights.
“Haha, 1 really didn’t expect this. Not only is your arithmetic ability outstanding, but you also have such an understanding of the people’s livelihood!” Emperor Yan praised.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but glance at the Imperial Advisor who was sitting on his left.
As expected of the Imperial Advisor’s descendant. After being nurtured by the Imperial Advisor, she was so outstanding.
Unfortunately, she was a woman.
Otherwise, even he would not have objected to the Imperial Advisor grooming her to be the next successor.
“Your Majesty is too kind.” Lin Xiaoyue replied humbly.
Only after Emperor Yan told everyone to start eating did they start eating.
During the meal, Emperor Yan asked Lin Xiaoyue many questions, and Lin Xiaoyue answered them one by one.
As they continued to interact, Emperor Yan’s impression of Lin Xiaoyue became better and better.
After lunch, Emperor Yan sat for a while before leaving reluctantly.
After that, Lin Xiaoyue and the others followed the Imperial Advisor back to the Imperial Advisor’s residence.
After leaving the Imperial Garden, Lin Xiaoyue started to look around quietly.
She was afraid that Li Xiao had not returned.
Fortunately, Li Xiao appeared soon after.
He even brought the carriage over.
The stone in her heart was instantly lifted. Lin Xiaoyue gave Li Xiao a smile and nimbly got into the carriage.
Liu Wuji, who was not far away, also smiled when he saw this. He also got into his carriage.
The convoy quickly assembled and headed towards the Imperial Advisor’s residence.
In the carriage, Lin Xiaoyue moved closer to the front of the carriage.
She lowered her voice and spoke to Li Xiao.
“How is it? Have you seen your sister?”
A smile appeared on Li Xiao’s face under the mask.
“Yes, I did.”
Lin Xiaoyue was delighted.
“Then…how is she?”
She had never met her sister-in-law before.
However, she had heard some things from Li Xiao and Qing’er.
She heard that her sister-in-law had a gentle personality and was beautiful. She was a precious daughter of a wealthy family.
It was precisely because of this that Emperor Yan made her Consort Shu. “Shu” means virtuous.
She was looking forward to having another gentle beauty in the house in the future.
“Fortunately, with the Imperial Consort taking care of her, no one dares to bully her.” Li Xiao said softly.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
“That’s good.”
“Did you tell her about our plan?” Lin Xiaoyue asked again.
“Yes. 1 told her to get ready. When the time is right, we’ll take her away.”
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Li Xiao and felt relieved.
“It’s fine as long as you’ve communicated. Next, before we move, let Prince Anyang inform the Imperial Consort and ask her to inform your sister.”
“Yes.”
After Lin Xiaoyue finished asking, Li Xiao asked her about what happened in the morning.
Li Xiao couldn’t help but chuckle when he learned that his wife had indeed won the championship.
“1 knew it. You are the best.”
Lin Xiaoyue was delighted. If they weren’t in public, she would probably have to hide in her husband’s arms.
Soon, the group returned to the Imperial Advisor’s residence.
The Imperial Advisor handed Mo Fei over to Liang Chengcai to make arrangements and then returned to the Bamboo Garden.
Lin Xiaoyue and the Sixth Princess were tired after half a day and returned to their own courtyards.
As soon as they returned to the Plum Garden, a certain woman could not help but drag Li Xiao into the house.
After closing the door, the couple started chatting.
In the evening.
Liu Wuji finally sent someone to invite everyone from the various courtyards to the main hall for a meal.
Then, he announced that he would be training Lin Xiaoyue and the other two.
When the Sixth Princess heard this, she immediately made a request to participate..
