When Su Qingwan heard that the Minister of Revenue wanted to see her, the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

I have to say that Lan Xiang is really a wise man with a broad mind.

She handed Yuan Xingsi to Xingshu, and then asked Lord Xuanluo to come in.

"Welcoming ministers, please see the Queen. She is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

"Get up."

Su Qingwan pretended to be puzzled and asked:

"Why is Lord Luo here?"

"Your Majesty, I am here to ask you to find a solution."

"During the morning court yesterday, the emperor proposed to build a road. Building a road is indeed beneficial to the country and the people. This is a good thing, but unfortunately, the treasury is empty."

"Your Majesty is very resourceful, so I have the audacity to ask you to save me!"

Su Qingwan thought for a moment and said:

"It's not difficult to build a road, and the national treasury doesn't even need to spend money."

"Oh?"

When Lord Luo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. How could there be such a good thing without having to take money out of the national treasury?

Su Qingwan took a sip of tea and then said:

"Lord Luo can ask the merchants to pay for this silver."

Lord Luo was a little hesitant when he heard this.

"This……"

He wanted to say that those merchants were not fools, so who would pay the money?

Moreover, building roads is definitely not a small amount of money. Who can come up with so much money?

Knowing what he was thinking, Su Qingwan said:

"Everyone has seen the effect of the road that was built before. Now that the court has announced that it will build a road, they will definitely agree."

"I'm afraid they won't give me money. Simple!"

"Lord Luo only needs to put the word out. For example, if a road is built and the person who donates the most money gets the road named after his family or name, or he can name it himself."

"Others were listed on stone tablets according to the amount of silver they donated, so that everyone who passed by would know their achievements."

"For those who donate more, the local prefect and county magistrate can also issue plaques to commend them at the appropriate time."

"What merchants lack is not money, but reputation."

"Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants have the lowest status, and they are happy to have a good reputation."

"Moreover, if the road is repaired, their business will grow and they will definitely be happy."

Lord Luo: “…”

At this moment, Lord Luo looked at Su Qingwan with only admiration in his eyes. She was worthy of being the Queen Mother to be able to come up with such a method.

Why didn't he think of that?

It turns out that this method is really feasible. In this way, those merchants will definitely put in their best efforts to spend money.

I have to say, the Queen is too cunning.

Oh, no, not treacherous!

It's wise!

Yes, it is wise!

"I'll take care of it now, sir."

Lord Luo said excitedly:

"I may come to bother you again in the future, so please don't think I'm stupid."

His brain is really not as good as the Queen's. I'm afraid there will be many things to discuss with the Queen in the future.

"Easy to say!"

"I have nothing to do, and I am happy to help you, sir."

After hearing Su Qingwan's words, Lord Luo felt more at ease and left happily.

Yan Mingjue heard the good news as soon as he came over. Hearing that Su Qingwan had successfully frightened Lord Luo, he couldn't help but reach out and touch Su Qingwan's face.

"My wife is amazing!"

Su Qingwan rolled her eyes at him.

Yan Mingjue's mind was moved. Su Qingwan had become more plump after giving birth, and her eyes were as charming as silk. She was more attractive than before. He couldn't help but hugged Su Qingwan to the bed and said in a low voice:

"It's been three months. I asked the imperial physician and he said it's ok..."

Next, a room full of joy!
