I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory-Chapter 31

Not long after, Yaoyao excitedly ran back to an unnamed mountain peak.

Rushing into the courtyard nestled among the mountain peaks, she addressed the stunningly beautiful woman inside, exclaiming, Master, Master Yaoyao, Yaoyao has landed another huge deal! Its really a big one, worth over ten million taels. Were going to be rich! Haha

Is that so?

The beautiful woman was somewhat moved. Quickly tell your master what kind of deal it is exactly?

Master, let me tell you, this took Yaoyao the effort of nine oxen and two tigers to trick this from the hands of the little foolish emperor Yaoyao began to recount the entire process non-stop.

After finishing, Yaoyao danced with excitement, seeking praise: Master, those are precious ores. With iron, copper, and silver mines! Not only can we sell them, but we can also use them to forge weapons!

We only need to trade goods for them, and we can secure the deal by paying just 70 percent! Master, dont you think weve made a fortune?

The beautiful woman was speechless: Yaoyao, youve been sold by him again, and youre even counting the money for him!

How could that be, Master? Dont talk nonsense! Yaoyao shook her head in denial.

Alright then, Master will discuss this with you! freewebno(v)el

The stunningly beautiful woman laughed and said, Yaoyao, you mentioned that the Xia Kingdom is rich in minerals like copper and iron. Besides using them domestically, who else could they sell to?

Yaoyao immediately replied, They could sell to the surrounding nations, to other noble families and clans!

The beautiful woman shook her head, Its absolutely impossible to sell to neighboring kingdoms because these are strategic materials that can be used to make weapons! Selling them would be aiding the enemy; he would never do such a thing!

What about selling to other noble families and clans? Yaoyao asked.

The beautiful woman shook her head again, Its also impossible to sell to noble families and clans! Because behind these families and clans, they all rely on another imperial court, such as dynasties and empires. To privately forge weapons is to plot a rebellion, and thats a crime punishable by death!

If the noble family continues to purchase, it is very likely that they are acting on behalf of the imperial court behind the scenes, which is equivalent to indirectly selling to other countries. This is also an act of aiding the enemy!

Ordinary rivers and lakes powers cant consume so much ore. Therefore, he can only sell his ore to us, and you can completely drive down the price to buy! Even if you press it down to 30% of the price, he will still have to pinch his nose and accept it!

Yaoyao was dumbfounded: Ah? Is that really how it works?

Moreover, according to what you said, the other partys mineral resources are basically concentrated together; almost all are open-pit, and they are also close to the capital city, so the cost must be greatly reduced! For example, whether smelting iron or copper, coal is needed, but the coal mine is right next door. How much money does that save?

I estimate that its production cost must be reduced by at least 50%! f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com

The cost is reduced by 50%, but he sells it to you at market price! Although exchanging with grain saves you 30%, he still makes a good profit! And you have to transport a large amount of grain and supplies there, which will inevitably increase the cost, and you wont make much!

In the end, who really earns more?

Yaoyao was infuriated: Damn it, Ive been outwitted by that foolish emperor again! And to make matters worse, I had to massage and pound his shoulders, waiting on him like a palace maid That bastard!!!

The stunning beauty couldnt help but let out a light chuckle.

Her little apprentice was quite stubborn and willful, clever and quick-witted, certainly not one to suffer losses easily!

Yet, she had been bested by that foolish emperor not once, but twice.

Haha, it was just too amusing!

In her heart, she grew even more curious about Lin Beifan.

Is he really, as rumored by the outside world, a foolish emperor?

Hes clearly very astute!

Moreover, although he has made many foolish decisions since his ascension to the throne, it seems he has never suffered for it!

Whats more puzzling is that his luck appears to be extraordinarily good!

He just traded an iron mine for the most beautiful woman in the Mo Kingdom, and then there was a collapse in the mine that buried 200,000 of the Mo Kingdoms troops.

During a battle between the two armies, an earthquake occurred and buried the Mo Kingdoms forces again.

Furthermore, this earthquake revealed many precious mineral resources, earning him a fortune.

This kind of situation cant even be explained by metaphysics!

Incredible!!!

Yaoyao, dont be too angry, we actually didnt lose out, we just didnt earn much more, thats all! The other party has a large volume, so we can still make money. Just look at the bigger picture! the stunningly beautiful woman advised.

Yaoyao sighed, Master, youre right too. We did make a profit, its just not much more! Hes a young Emperor who hasnt been enthroned for long, so its not easy for him to support a country. Lets just consider it helping him out!

Thats it!

The stunningly beautiful woman laughed: As the saying goes, the righteous will receive ample help, while the unrighteous will find little support. We must change our mindset and make more friends. Otherwise, when can our Holy Sect develop? That Lin Beifan doesnt seem as foolish as the rumors suggest, so you should interact with him more and see if he can be of use to our Holy Sect!

Yes, Master! Yaoyao nodded.

Right. Can you repeat the theory about the three engines that drive the economy and the theory of money that he mentioned again?

Yaoyao was surprised: Master, did you actually understand it?

The stunningly beautiful woman nodded: Indeed, I was inspired, so I want to hear it once more!

Okay, then Ill explain!
