Zixuan, after hearing what both had to say, felt discomfort in his heart. If it weren't for Jinghan's persuasion, he wouldn't have wanted to allow these people to build their workshops here in the first place. Jinghan had argued that the variety of local products was becoming increasingly abundant, and her own workshop couldn't process everything. Furthermore, if merchants from other regions came to build factories, not only could the county office collect taxes, but it would also provide more job opportunities for the locals. Only then did Zixuan relax the restrictions on local workshop construction.
Now that these people had made money and expanded their enterprises, they were thinking about monopolizing the entire industry. It was laughable. They were allowed to come here to help locals earn more, not to exploit them. They really were full of ideas.
