I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory
Chapter Summary
They wanted to learn Lin Beifan’s method of making cement and then use it to build houses for profit, but they soon realized that the raw materials for cement were scattered far and wide, at great distances from the city. Inside the Xia Kingdom’s imperial palace, upon hearing the news, Lin Beifan burst into a big laughter: “You want to learn how to make money from me? ”“At this time, the Xia Kingdom is undertaking massive production, and if war comes, all efforts will be in vain!
At this time, other nations were facing the same situation.
They wanted to learn Lin Beifan’s method of making cement and then use it to build houses for profit, but they soon realized that the raw materials for cement were scattered far and wide, at great distances from the city.
Transporting them would inevitably require a tremendous amount of manpower and resources.
After transportation, a large amount of firewood would be needed to fuel the kilns, or coal would have to be mined for the firing process, making the cost extremely high.
With such high costs, the price of houses would naturally be elevated, rendering them difficult to sell.
With the time and effort involved, it would be more practical to simply dig up clay and make bricks.
Thus, the method of making cement is like chicken ribs—useless when eaten but a pity to discard.
Inside the Xia Kingdom’s imperial palace, upon hearing the news, Lin Beifan burst into a big laughter: “You want to learn how to make money from me?
Unless you have a cheat like I do, you’ll just be eating my dust!
”At this time, Lin Beifan’s concrete houses continued to sell like hotcakes.
The refugees who had been clearing land and digging canals outside learned of these excellent houses and all rushed back to buy them.
After all, where else could they find such good and affordable housing?
They worked so hard.
Wasn’t it all for a bite to eat, for a place to call home?
With the food problem temporarily solved, it was time to consider housing.
Only with a house can one truly have a home.
The second phase of 100,000 housing units sold out quickly, and everyone eagerly awaited the launch of the third phase.
So, with Lin Beifan’s nod of approval, the third phase of the housing project was launched ahead of schedule.
Through these concrete houses, Lin Beifan recouped 3 million in capital, which was more than enough to sustain the national treasury.
As one house after another was delivered, the market was completely energized!
After all, with a house, you need a bed, right?
You need tables and chairs, right?
You need quilts and bowls and chopsticks, right?
You’ve even got a house now, it’s time to think about settling down for life, isn’t it?
Time to consider carrying on the family line!
All these things cost money!
So, businessmen responsible for these areas started to increase.
With more business, one person can’t handle it all, so you inevitably need to hire a few people, right?
More people have food to eat and money to earn, doesn’t consumption increase then?
With increased consumption, the number of people making money just naturally…Increases, doesn’t it?
Everyone has money now, how could the national treasury’s revenue not increase?
The Xia Kingdom is flourishing at a pace visible to the naked eye.
Atop an unnamed mountain peak, Yaoyao’s stunningly beautiful master looked at the latest news being relayed from below and exclaimed in amazement, “He really did it!
The money is still plentiful, but when it starts to circulate, everyone becomes wealthy!
This young man is truly extraordinary; he is not the foolish emperor rumored by the outside world, but rather an unconventional and enlightened ruler!
After reaching such a conclusion, she began to reassess Lin Beifan.
Viewing his past decisions from a different perspective, she suddenly discovered something unique.
Rumor has it that he favored beauties over his realm, willingly giving away the iron mine…“Ever since the collapse of the iron mine, it was completely abandoned by him!
Iron is an important resource for every country; it’s not something that can be abandoned easily!
Unless the mine is depleted, that’s the only reason it would be discarded!
”“So, before giving it away, that iron mine was actually a spent mine, hollowed out and useless.
That’s why he used this exhausted mine to exchange for great wealth from the Mo Kingdom.
That was indeed a wise move!
”“Afterward, the collapse of the iron mine was unexpected yet within reason!
”Rumors say that he doesn’t understand politics, acts recklessly, and has dismissed the loyal Prime Minister and Grand General, along with many other old officials, turning the court into a complete mess…“Ever since these old court officials were dismissed, the entire country has become a place where he has the final say, doing whatever he wants, appointing whoever he wishes!
”“Exactly so, with the old officials gone, labor-intensive and costly policies such as mining, land reclamation, and river dredging could be implemented smoothly, making the court highly efficient!
”“His approach is too radical.
If those old officials were still around, they would probably have stopped his actions and influenced his decisions!
”“He is not ignorant of court politics; on the contrary, he understands them very well!
”Rumors say he doesn’t understand economics, distributing money at will, causing the national treasury to collapse…“Now the facts have proven that his approach was correct!
The national treasury did not collapse; instead, it has made a profit, and it has also stimulated the domestic market, making many people wealthy and greatly improving their lives!
”Rumors say he doesn’t understand military strategy, giving random orders, and without losing troops or weakening the Mo Kingdom, he provoked the strong military forces of the An Kingdom and Shang Kingdom… “The Mo Kingdom has already lost 600,000 troops and poses no threat anymore!
For the Xia Kingdom, the biggest threats are actually the An Kingdom and Shang Kingdom!
After they annex the Mo Kingdom, their national power will grow, and the next target is very likely to be the Xia Kingdom!
After all, a country ruled by a foolish emperor is easier to bully!
”“At this time, the Xia Kingdom is undertaking massive production, and if war comes, all efforts will be in vain!
That’s why he took the initiative to strike, holding back the Shang Kingdom and An Kingdom in order to protect the rear!
He traded the smallest price for the greatest peace!
