Zeng Sanshui followed Village Chief Zhao into the greenhouse to take a look and saw countless herbs, fruits, vegetables, and food planted on a large scale.

Not only were there scientific planting techniques, but there was also a specialized fertilizer. There was even a careful standard for the temperature and humidity and how much water to use.

However, it had to be said that what grew out of the greenhouse was really good quality.

It was bigger and sweeter than what they could find in the season.

In the fruit shed, one was already half full from eating strawberries, tomatoes, and watermelons. Village Chief Zhao even enthusiastically asked the guests to pick as much as they wanted and bring it along the way.

Zeng Sanshui was eating happily when he thought of asking, "You built so many greenhouses to plant these things. Is it very expensive and only supplied to big families?"

Village Chief Zhao smiled and shook his head. "Our agricultural garden specializes in research. The fruits and vegetables we research on are usually not sold to the outside world. The Imperial Court consumes them when they are supplied internally." He pointed at the greenhouse in front and said, "The fruits and vegetables planted by the commoners will have different prices because of the cost of the greenhouse. However, they are all within the acceptable range of our local people. Everyone can afford to eat them."

"If we plant them in large quantities, we won't have to worry about not being able to sell them. The factory canteen or the video processing factory will come to buy them themselves."

Zeng Sanshui secretly clicked his tongue. Everything Carefree Kingdom did was interconnected.

Even if it was just planting vegetables, they had already thought of all kinds of backup plans.

If there were many vegetables planted, they would be processed. If they were processed, they would have to hire workers. If the workers did not have time to plant vegetables, they would have to buy vegetables and form some consumption cycle. This was what Lu Ye often mentioned about driving the economy.

He could not help but be puzzled. "Is your Great Empress going to let everyone do business just as they wished?"

The reason why merchants had low status was not because they were exploiting the people, but because they had a more sensitive mind than ordinary people. After controlling a certain amount of money, they would become extremely arrogant.

Moreover, they also knew that the so-called Heavenly Might Imperial Power was just because this person controlled enough money and status.

In order to prevent merchants from standing out and consolidating their status, the previous emperors would push for an economy with only small farmers.

Letting the commoners guard only one acre of land at home would not only protect the population, but also restrict their thoughts and make them easier to control.

In a place like the southern frontier, where there were many ethnic groups to begin with, with the development of the economy and everyone's active thinking, the awakening consciousness of resisting the imperial power would also awaken.

Zeng Sanshui thought that no emperor would want to see such a thing happen.

Therefore, in the past dynasties, knowing that economic development would bring benefits, in order to consolidate the imperial power, they would rather defend the old rules and let the world be in their control.
