"You need to discuss these details. I am just providing a template. Whether it will succeed in the end depends on your opinion." Mary said: "Of course, it is not easy to complete this big project. However, as long as they are far-sighted businessmen, they will definitely be willing to bear such investment risks. Lord Fang, what do you think?"
"In this way, the interests of the government and the merchants are closely related." Lord Fang said: "According to the laws of the court, officials cannot engage in business."
"Officials cannot engage in private business, but it does not mean that officials cannot cooperate with merchants on behalf of the court. This is beneficial to everyone. The court can get more business taxes every year. This city will get better and better, and one day it will even become the most prosperous shopping city in the world. After the reputation is spread, merchants coming and going will leave more rare goods here. This place will become a foreign trade shopping city."
"I have to say that I was moved by the picture described by Doctor Jian." The master said, "If such a day really comes, we will definitely go down in history. After all, this is a big thing that no one else has done."
"I don't care whether it goes down in history or not. What I care about now is the lives of the common people. The biggest advantage of cooperating with businessmen is that they have a lot of silver and food. If this thing is done, this big project will require a lot of manpower. And these manpower will of course be found among the common people. If the common people have jobs and food to eat, we will naturally get through this natural disaster. Lord Fang solved this problem without spending a penny from the court. What will the emperor think of you? This is also a great political achievement, right? It's hard to say whether you will be transferred back to the capital, but promotion is expected."
