The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

"Your Highness, I'm afraid the supplies arranged by His Majesty will not arrive here so quickly. I wonder if we can try to contact the wealthy businessmen in Gansu and Shaanxi to organize a fundraising event?" As soon as Jiang Xing made this suggestion, Xie Ci, who was standing aside, nodded continuously, indicating that he quite agreed with it.

However, Jiang Li shook his head slightly, obviously thinking that this method was not appropriate. Seeing this, Jiang Xing was about to ask his sister why she made such a judgment, but he swallowed the words back. After all, this was not the right time to ask, so he chose to remain silent for the time being.

At this time, Mu Jiuchen, who had not spoken, turned his gaze to Jiang Li and asked slowly: "Li'er, do you have a better idea in mind?" Jiang Xing couldn't help but frowned slightly when he heard Mu Jiuchen's affectionate name for his sister, but the current situation was not suitable for further investigation, so he didn't say much in the end.

Jiang Li smiled and replied slowly: "That's a good suggestion, but I haven't thought of one yet. But although your suggestion is good, it may not be as easy as imagined to put it into practice. Those businessmen have always paid attention to gains and losses. It is not easy to make them willingly pay money. They must be given certain benefits in return." After saying this, Jiang Li seemed very satisfied with his own insights and even nodded unconsciously.

At this moment, a hearty voice rang out: "Sister Li'er is absolutely right!" It turned out to be Xiaoyan who excitedly raised her thumbs up and said flatteringly. Jiang Li was in a good mood when he heard someone support his point of view so much.

"What kind of benefits do you think should be given to those wealthy businessmen?" Jiang Xing asked softly with a smile on his face, his tone revealing a hint of curiosity and expectation. His eyes fell on Jiang Li, as if waiting for her to give a surprising answer.

When everyone heard this, they all turned their eyes to Jiang Li. For a moment, the whole room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing remained. Jiang Li felt everyone's burning gazes and couldn't help but blush slightly, smiling shyly. However, she didn't feel embarrassed at all, but calmly sorted out her thoughts.

Jiang Li opened his red lips and said slowly, "Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants have always had a low status in our Dali Dynasty. Even if they are extremely wealthy, they are still looked down upon by the aristocratic families. Therefore, if you want these wealthy merchants to willingly give money to support the court or do other things, you must give them some tangible benefits."

At this point, Jiang Li paused for a moment, and then continued, "For example, we can ask His Majesty to personally write inscriptions for them. This will not only show the emperor's attention to them, but also be a supreme honor. In addition, we can also grant them some nominal titles. Although there is no actual power, it can at least make them more prestigious in front of others. In this way, I believe those wealthy businessmen will be willing to donate generously."

After saying this, Jiang Li looked up at the prince who was sitting in the first seat, and said apologetically, "Prince, my younger sister (cousin) has lived in seclusion for a long time and knows very little about the affairs of the court. If I have said something inappropriate, I hope that your Majesty will forgive me."

Jiang Xing and Xie Ci's hearts tightened after hearing what Jiang Li said. They knew that this matter was very serious, so they hurried forward and bowed respectfully to apologize. You know, the title in the court is not easy to obtain. It is either inherited by virtue of the merits of the ancestors, or it can be granted to those who have made great contributions to the court. And what Li Er just said was already a great disrespect!

However, surprisingly, Mu Jiuchen, who was sitting on a high seat, just smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay. Ignorance is not a sin." His tone was relaxed and natural, as if he didn't take Jiang Li's words to heart at all.

"Li'er's suggestion does make some sense and should be seriously considered. Without further ado, I will immediately arrange for a carrier pigeon to deliver a letter to His Majesty to see what he thinks about it." Everyone was shocked when they heard this. No one had expected that the Regent, who had always been autocratic and self-willed, would agree so readily to Jiang Li's suggestion.

Xiaoyan stood aside, his eyes fixed on the man sitting on the main seat. He had sharp eyebrows and eyes, a handsome face, and a black python robe that made him look even more majestic. His deep and sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and his every move exuded an irresistible charm and aura. Xiaoyan thought to himself: This regent is really amazing! Not only does he have extraordinary wisdom and strategy, but he can also listen to others' opinions. I believe he will achieve a great feat in the future.
