Zi Lan was silent for a moment, lowered her head and thought repeatedly about whether she should have expressed the dream that she had been thinking about for several years.

"What's wrong, child, why don't you make any difficulties? Don't worry, the emperor's wiseness, even if you say it wrong, you won't blame you."

Master Cui believed that Zilan was a sensible child who took the overall situation into consideration. He would never say anything outrageous. At most, he was not comprehensive. Even if he was afraid, would he be me?

Zi Lan raised her head and became firm and calm.

"Your Majesty, what I want to say next may be a bit inappropriate and violated the rules. But I still want to say that it is an honor to meet the emperor today, and if you miss this opportunity, you may not be next time.

I have thought about this idea for many years and practiced it for three years, but I have never dared to tell my elders what I think. I know that they have a whole family to protect and consider, and some things cannot be overdo it.

But I still want to help those poor orphans and widows and give them a chance.

In the past three years, I have made a lot of money by shipping. Everyone in the capital knows that I used foreign goods from the sea to improve them and invest them in their preferences, and changed them to things that our own people like and then sell them. I made a lot of money.

But many people don’t know that the human hands I use are the orphans and widows in the Nursing Hall and Charity Hall, and the abandoned children. I ask someone to teach them a skill and ask them to do things for me, and I give them moon silver.

Let them support themselves openly. After three years, I have made a fortune. The children are very grateful to me, but I feel ashamed. I have given them too little and I can do too limited.

I repeatedly thought about how to move forward in the future. My personal strength is limited after all, but you are different. You are the lord of the world, the person who can give them hope, and the person who can make decisions for them.

You can do what I can't do. I want to give them a chance to stand up and not need others to sympathize with the pitiful ones, so that they can support themselves, have a place to support themselves, and have something to support in their old age."

Zi Lan took a breath, suddenly knelt down and spoke again.

"Your Majesty, those people in charity halls and nanny halls are despised and abandoned, but I believe that a spark can set off a prairie fire!

After three years, I have proved that my ideas are feasible. They can do a lot of things, have a lot of potential to explore, and they can also become people who use them. Even if they are orphans, they are your people."

After hearing this, the emperor was silent for a long time, with a solemn and majestic expression, and was not angry and arrogant, "What do you want to do?"

"I conducted a pilot program in the Beijing Nursing Hall, and improved the goods shipped back from the sea and sold them. The results were excellent. In this process, I taught the children a skill to give them work, so that they could learn a skill, work, and have money to support themselves.

Emperor, charity can also be done into business, which does not mean that doing so is a bad person. Charity that cannot make money cannot last forever.

Our ultimate goal is to make them self-sufficient, even make money, truly stand up and become useful people, and even have the energy to help people who are as miserable as they are.

Then this matter can continue for a long time. I have an idea to teach them the skills and let them learn various craftsmanship. We can make finished products, such as porcelain, embroidery, etc., and we can use their preferences to sell them overseas.

Then buy their good seeds from the money you earn, and take back all the things that are useful to us to benefit our people, so that we can form a scale."

Zi Lan stood up, pushed away the things on the table, dipped them in tea with her hands, and drew pictures on the table.

"Look at Jingdezhen's porcelain, various embroidery, tea, etc., these are things that small overseas countries like very much. The difference is that they are different from our aesthetics. We can completely fire porcelain according to their preferences and sell them.

From here, you can find all the way south or north, and you can pass through many counties and cities?"

Zi Lan was very devoted to the explanation, her eyes shining brightly, emitting a striking light, and her body was filled with confidence and concentration.

The emperor and the prince Cui all surrounded the table to see what happened.

Yang Yu walked around his head and suddenly spoke, "The business road may spontaneously form a business road. When customers and merchants pass by, they need food, clothing, housing and transportation. At the same time, they will bring extra specialties from other places to sell for one more money. The business road will form a business road in a long time."

"Yes, it's business road. We can revitalize these poor counties and use the geographical environment and local specialties to guide them. The people will have more life and opportunities.

You see, this road is a familiar business road. From northwest to up, there are two forks. There are all kinds of famous specialties on the road, such as Pu'er tea, mountain goods, etc., and merchants will naturally do it at all costs if they are profitable.

Those poor counties that cannot get out of the mountains have become vibrant because of them, and there are many more opportunities. What kind of food, clothing, housing, transportation, horses, etc. do not need rest or rest."

The emperor stared at the table and thought seriously, "You want to use the old and weak orphans in the Charity Hall to do something, which not only helps them, but also revitalizes several business roads, so that the entire dynasty can become rich, sell our things to the sea, and earn high price difference."

"Yes, not only that, it is not only possible to consider this matter in political achievements, and to make poor counties a prosperous county. This is not a proof of ability. It also helps the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled become new forces that can be used continuously.

Think about it, they are helpless, have no family, and have too many relatives. Who is the person who gives them food and drink to make them live a better life? It is you, and you are the only loyal person worthy of their faith.

Master, I believe that a spark can start a prairie fire. After three years, they have proved to me that their potential is unlimited. Please give them a chance to prove that they can also become useful people rather than drag them down.”

She took a deep breath and looked straight into the emperor's eyes, and spoke seriously and earnestly, "I always thought I was the one who helped them.

But later I realized that I was wrong. The strength they gave me was many times more than what I gave them. I made a lot of money, and they were just food and clothing, but they were very grateful to me.

I feel very guilty. I have the ability, so why don’t I help them and not give them a chance? They have given me a lot of things, not just money.

We can unite to do something, and we won’t lose money and get a lot. I can show you my records and account books over the past three years.

We can first observe and understand from the charity hall in Beijing as the experimental base, and then make the second one after success, and accumulate experience. I believe that ten years can bring you huge returns.

When they grow up, they can join the army and go out to sea to make money for you. They can do a lot of things, just need the emperor to give them a chance."
