The Princess of Northern Land

Under the candlelight, the family heads laughed wildly and proudly, but what they didn't expect was that after they dispersed, someone had already reported to Chu Suifeng for all the countermeasures they had discussed.

"Your Majesty, they are so bold and want to delay taxes." A military general stood up angrily and said, "Your Majesty, are they allowed to continue pretending to be idiots?"

"What does the Zhang family's business involve?" Chu Suifeng asked. Since he was determined to govern the Northland well, how could he allow a few people to ruin his big project? Aristocratic family? To put it nicely, they are just some nouveau riche, and they rely on their money to put on a facade. Do they really think they are the biggest in the world?

This time, he, Chu Suifeng, would show these people his methods.

"Don't move for now. If they don't pay taxes by then, their shop will be closed directly." Chu Suifeng replied.

"Your Majesty, no." A staff member expressed his opinion worriedly, "There is little food in the North, and the Zhang family controls most of the food in the North. If all the nobles stop their business, chaos will inevitably occur."

"It doesn't matter, they don't want to do business well, just find another company." Si Jinhan said with a smile, "As long as the prince gives others a chance, someone will definitely replace this wave of worry-free people."

"If the old ones are not gone, how can there be new ones?" As he spoke, a figure of a person appeared in Chu Suifeng's mind.

"Are you interested in doing other business?" In the study the next day, Chu Suifeng and Si Jinhan, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared again. And when they first met, Chu Suifeng looked at Lin Ziyin and asked a question bluntly.

"What business does the prince mean?" Lin Ziyin asked.

"Grain, cloth, tea, etc., you can choose a few to try out any business available in the market." Chu Suifeng answered casually.

"Is someone giving the prince a hard time?" Lin Ziyin was more direct.

"You can say that." Chu Suifeng nodded.

"You don't have to worry, actually." Lin Ziyin laughed. "If a country wants to develop, it cannot be closed to itself. The reason why the big families in Fengcheng dare to go against the prince is simply because they monopolize the business in the market. If If the prince tries to break this monopoly, how far can they go?"

"Breaking the monopoly cannot be achieved overnight, and I have not found a suitable replacement for the time being." Chu Suifeng said after thinking for a while.

"There are so many merchants traveling from north to south in Fengcheng. Are you afraid that you can't find a replacement?" Lin Ziyin regarded Chu Suifeng as a friend, so he was willing to talk to him so much. "Your Majesty, you might as well let the merchants run away." Staying here, maybe they are not from the North, and there may be many inconveniences. But the prince should not forget that since they are businessmen, it means that they must have a certain strength behind them. They have their own way of purchasing goods, and they also have They have their own way. As long as they provide enough convenience and discounts, they will naturally not let go of any benefits."

Chu Suifeng and Si Jinhan nodded after hearing this. It is true that businessmen value profits. As long as there is enough temptation, I am really not afraid of finding a suitable replacement.

"If the prince wants to be more secure, he can also start with smaller aristocratic families and try to get them to cooperate with some businessmen. In this way, in the exchange of old and new, the prince will definitely be the winner." Lin Ziyin continued, in In her opinion, competition brings pressure.

The stubborn old men in Fengcheng have obtained benefits for so many years, but they still want to control Chu Suifeng. It is simply a fantasy.

Although Chu Suifeng has not repaired those people for so many years, according to Lin Ziyin's analysis, it is not that Chu Suifeng is soft-hearted or that Chu Suifeng is incapable, but that Chu Suifeng has never found an opportunity.

Now that the imperial court had cut off Chu Suifeng's retreat, and at the same time, an alien like himself appeared, it completely pushed Chu Suifeng to speed up the pace of change. Lin Ziyin didn't need to think carefully to guess that Chu Suifeng was determined to make a series of changes this time.

Perhaps the Northland will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future.

"What will happen if the imperial court cuts off the trade routes here?" Chu Suifeng asked again.

"Then it depends on how determined the prince is." Lin Ziyin said with a smile, "If you want peace, you have to arrange the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation. As long as the prince handles these four aspects, even if someone breaks the business How much impact can roads have on our northern land? After all, Fengcheng has a unique advantage, that is, it is the intersection of trade routes. Without the imperial court as a trade route, merchants from other countries in the sea area are willing to come. It’s just that The prince should not only focus on the land, but also pay attention to the waterway."
