Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

The carriage moved slowly forward, and the hustle and bustle and noise in my ears gradually faded away.

After hearing Fu Youwen's words, Yuan Tai and Zhan Hui came back to their senses, but... they really couldn't answer Fu Youwen's question for a while.

The year is good, and that is indeed a fact that we can see and hear.

But the underlying reasons...

They were familiar with the classics, history, and literature, and were usually in charge of promotions and transfers in the Ministry of Personnel, or the trials and memorials in the Censorate, which touched upon areas they were not good at.

"Why is the harvest so good..." Yuan Tai murmured thoughtfully.

Zhan Hui looked directly at Fu Youwen and said, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you still keeping me in suspense?"

He knew that since Fu Youwen asked this question, he must have a complete plan and answer in his mind. It would be better to ask directly than to waste time thinking about it.

Fu Youwen shook his head and laughed, pointing at Zhan Hui and said, "You're so impatient."

But he didn't keep it a secret.

Instead, he raised an eyebrow, glanced through the small window on the rear panel of the carriage at the market that was almost disappearing behind him, and then spread his hands: "How easy is that! I have money! Who wouldn't want to go out with extra money? Who wouldn't want to come to the market and spend money on shopping?"

"If more people buy, the seller will make more money, so he has to buy too, right?"

"Isn't this revitalizing the situation?"

Fu Youwen did not hide anything, but told the answer directly and concisely to Zhan Hui and Yuan Tai.

Of course, he didn't understand economics and finance in later generations.

But don't forget that Fu Youwen was in charge of the purse of the Ming Dynasty and dealt with these principles every day. Even if he did not have the so-called economic concepts such as "surplus wealth", "economic growth", "GDP", etc., it did not mean that he could not see some essential things in them.

Yuan Tai and Zhan Hui followed Fu Youwen's line of thought and thought further.

They all nodded thoughtfully - it seemed to be true.

And this time.

Fu Youwen took advantage of the situation and asked, "So what do you think... why did the people suddenly become rich?"

When he finished speaking, Yuan Tai and Zhan Hui's eyes lit up. Now that things had come to this, they naturally understood what Fu Youwen wanted to say.

Yuan Tai paused for a moment.

His expression was a little complicated, but he immediately said, "It was given by His Majesty."

They witnessed the series of operations last year, one after another, step by step, and afterwards they suddenly understood the calculations and principles behind them, and knew how many benefits were hidden in them.

Even now, Yuan Tai's attitude towards Zhu Yunhuan still makes him very angry.

Zhu Yunhuan's good point was that he could not refute it at all, and it was also a good way for him to acknowledge the current young emperor from the bottom of his heart.

Fu Youwen smiled and nodded: "Yes! His Majesty gave it to me!"

"The people at the market just now may not have understood the complexities of this truth, but they did stumble upon one thing that was right—the reason for this year's good harvest should indeed be attributed to Your Majesty!"

When Fu Youwen spoke, his slightly cloudy eyes were filled with bright respect...

He originally thought that the series of sensational events that occurred last year would be forgotten after the winter and the New Year.

It was only after the New Year, when people gradually returned to their normal lives, that Fu Youwen realized that last year's plan had actually laid such a long-standing foreshadowing.

Even...it is not until this new year that the real benefits are revealed!

As Yuan Tai and Zhan Hui slowly approached with these truths half-hiddenly, Fu Youwen couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart:

"This casual move, yet I wonder how much thought and ingenuity went into it... Even someone like me, who has been immersed in the Ministry of Revenue for so many years, only took so long to fully grasp Your Majesty's intentions, yet Your Majesty had it all planned from the very beginning."
