C381 It Was Actually Very Simple



C381 It Was Actually Very Simple

"What way?"    

    

The Third Prince asked subconsciously.    

    

Then, he regretted it.    

    

It seemed like he was too anxious!    

    

Xiao Yun smiled lightly and said, "It's really very simple. If it was any other time, this matter would be a little complicated and troublesome, but now, it is an especially easy matter."    

    

The Third Prince scratched his head and said with a bitter smile, "Young Master, please enlighten me."    

    

"Alright, let me ask you this. The reason why you are in a dilemma right now is because you hope that both parties will not offend each other. If you don't give up, this matter will be resolved, right?"    

    

"That's right!"    

    

" Then your subordinates, as long as you don't interfere in this matter, in their opinion, are you supporting them? Are you standing on their side? They will even be grateful for your kindness? "    

    

" That's right! " The Third Prince nodded and said, "Actually, they also know that they are newly promoted nobles in the Imperial Court. They can't go against those senior officials at all. Right now, they are more afraid of getting revenge."    

    

"So, you don't care about them, but you treat them well, right?"    

    

"Yes."    

    

"[Then I don't care]"    

    

"This..."    

    

The corners of the Third Prince's eyes twitched. He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to care either, but I don't think there's anything I can do."    

    

Xiao Yun said, "Why is there nothing I can do? Why must I interfere? "    

    

"Because the officials in the court want me to give them an explanation. If there is no explanation, they will definitely think that I want to settle accounts in the future. They will do everything in their power to stop me from ascending to the throne!"    

    

Xiao Yun curled his lips and sneered. "Whether you ascend or not, is what they can say?"    

    

"That is not the case, but... it is always troublesome."    

    

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Before, you weren't overly cautious. But if you don't want to offend them, and even give them an explanation, you don't need to use the methods of your subordinates. There are indeed some."    

    

"Really? "    

    

"Of course."    

    

Xiao Yun smiled.    

    

He looked at the women in the room.    

    

They were not chased out, which made them feel valued and trusted.    

    

It felt good.    

    

Xiao Yun also smiled at them.    

    

Then he said, "In fact, as long as you extend an olive branch to those ministers, then everything will be fine. All solved, and some people will be chosen to distribute the food and resources. It was originally a troublesome matter, but now it's much simpler. Once and for all. "    

    

"An olive branch?"    

    

The Third Prince asked curiously, "What's that?"    

    

"This olive branch is a legendary plant. Legend has it that it is something from the gods. If you give it to each other as a gift, you will express the goodwill of peace... Cough cough, let's not talk about this. You only need to know the general meaning. "    

    

"Young Master Xiao, you really know a lot!"    

    

Xiao Yun touched his warm cheeks and smiled awkwardly. He continued, "Now that the food and resources are back, how are we going to distribute them? Will the Imperial Court distribute them bit by bit? Firstly, the Imperial Court's efficiency is definitely very slow. Because there were too many procedures, too many rules and regulations, too many things that needed to be taken note of... Therefore, it was very difficult to settle things quickly while being cautious. Am I right?"    

    

"That's right."    

    

"So, these things have to be given to merchants, Wang Yao said. In my opinion, the royal family will issue some national bonds. Whoever takes it, even if they owe the country a debt... It's fine as long as it's settled, then they will directly take those things away. What about the food? Just let them sell whatever they want, how much they want to sell, how much they want to sell? You don't have to care, and you don't have to take back the debt. Just leave it outside. It's fine as long as you collect interest for no reason. "    

    

"This..."    

    

The Third Prince was somewhat unable to react in time.    

    

When he was still Old Man Ma, he had also come into contact with some business matters.    

    

But those were the simplest and most basic things. They were nothing in front of Xiao Yun.    

    

But even so, he could understand the benefits of this!    

    

Food was the thing that Molan Country lacked the most, as well as those resources.    

    

He knew that Xiao Yun wanted to repair Mo City, which meant that those materials would definitely be useful.    

    

No matter who the so-called national debt was to be given to, whoever gave it to would instantly develop.    

    

He would become one of the richest and most influential people in Molan Country!    

    

He wouldn't even need to pay any price, and there wouldn't be any risks.    

    

His eyes lit up.    

    

He even felt a bit envious.    

    

If these things could be placed in the hands of his subordinates, then his own power wouldn't have to worry about those old authorities.    

    

Xiao Yun seemed to be able to see through his heart.    

    

He sneered.    

    

"Are you thinking of putting such a good thing in the hands of your people? So the fertilizer doesn't flow to outsiders? "    

    

"This... still can't be hidden from young master."    

    

"Don't do this!"    

    

"Ah? Why?"    

    

The Third Prince was stunned for a moment. Then, he opened his mouth wide in shock.    

    

Xiao Yun sneered and said, "Why? Because he is incompetent."    

    

"Incompetence?"    

    

"Don't you know what your subordinates are capable of? "    

    

"This..."    

    

"[If these things are in their hands, do you think they will be able to consolidate their position?] Hmph! In my opinion, not only will I not be able to increase your position, instead, you will be punished for it! Take a look at those subordinates of yours! A good set of cards, beaten to a pulp! A newly promoted noble, other people will give him some face. But to let his own family be ruined like that, he himself was also a trash! He had no brains at all. He only knew how to act impulsively when doing things. Was he someone who could do big things? Why wasn't he beaten to death? "    

    

"This... I..."    

    

The Third Prince looked embarrassed.    

    

Indeed, Xiao Yun was angry because of this.    

    

Xiao Yun took a deep breath and calmed his emotions. Then he continued, "These things must definitely be left to some capable people. And those who already have a fixed trade route and have a certain foundation. Only then can these things be sold all over the country at the fastest speed. Only then can the people get enough food and clothing. "    

    

"But... if we sell them, the people won't have any money."    

    

"What is there to be afraid of? Selling these things will give them some time limit, and they won't be able to sell it for a day. If they can't sell it in two days, they will naturally be anxious. Of course, they would have to lower the price. Think about it, if these things were to be made by your royal family... If it is free, then you will have to pay for the entire transportation fee... Can your royal family afford it? Or can the royal court afford it? But it was different for those merchants who had already become influential. They could be calculated. If they could not sell it, they would lower the price. Eventually, the price would be reduced to excluding the cost of transporting manpower. If they did not add much money, they would use the price. They would try again and again to test the base price that the civilians could afford and also try to ensure their long-term operations as much as possible. This way, it will be a positive cycle. "    

    

The Third Prince's head suddenly became bigger!    

    

Although Xiao Yun didn't say much, the content involved was too broad!    

    

Furthermore, one needed to have a certain understanding of business before understanding it roughly.    

    

Xiao Yun did not care.    

    

He only wanted him to remember it.    

    

"Among those officials who offended you, one of them opened a casino. One opened a brothel, and the other opened an escort agency. Right? Almost every single one of them had all kinds of industries. Furthermore, they covered the entire Molan Country, right? "    

    

"This..."    

    

The Third Prince was shocked and quickly said, "Young Master Xiao has already known about the world without even leaving his house. This is truly admirable!"    

    

"Stop flattering me."    

    

Xiao Yun curled his lips and said, "How big do you think your Molan Country is?"    

    

"This... this is true."    

    

Xiao Yun sighed and continued, "They are the best candidates. You only need to inform the king. Do as I say. Your subordinates will not know that you are the one who gave this order. But those officials know that they are all smart people. They wouldn't care what you said, they would only see what you did! For you to do such a thing, they would naturally think that you were using another method to reconcile. How could they not agree?"
