Chapter 69: Two edicts, the contradiction intensifies

The idea of setting up Daqin Qianzhuang was obtained by Ying Zheng by reading the books given by the system.

He knew that once the Great Qin Money Village was successfully set up and the people and merchants were allowed to deposit their money in it, the Great Qin royal family would be equivalent to mastering a gold mine.

As long as the money village is managed well, it can bring huge profits to the Great Qin royal family.

......

Sima Yi looks at the second volume of bamboo slips.

What is written on it is the art of papermaking.

After Sima Yi looked closely, he knew that the paper made by this papermaking technique should be the same as the papermaking technology invented by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty of China.

It's just that Sima Yi doesn't know the secrets of Cai Lun's papermaking skills, and he doesn't know how His Majesty knows about it, and he knows it so clearly and meticulously.

Sima Yi didn't know, in fact, this "papermaking technique" was purchased by Ying Zheng from the system Wenzhi Mall for 300 points.

Sima Yi believes that with this papermaking technique, he can not only earn a lot of real money, but also play a great role in promoting the cultural spread of Daqin.

Sima Yi picked up the third scroll of bamboo slips, and with the same strong curiosity, opened it to watch.

It is written about a printing technique called movable type printing.

In movable type letterpress printing, the convex part of the layout image and text accepts ink, and the recessed part does not accept ink, and when the plate is pressed against the paper, the ink will be printed on the paper......

After Sima Yi saw it, he was quite shocked in his heart.

In the past, cultural transmission mainly relied on hand-copied books. Hand-copying is time-consuming, troublesome, and easy to copy mistakes and omissions, which not only hinders the development of culture, but also brings undue losses to cultural dissemination.

Now, with this movable type printing, it will benefit countless readers, and at the same time, it will enable the distribution of books with quality and quantity.

This is a great merit.

Sima Yi believes that with this movable type printing and papermaking technology, Daqin's culture and education will be able to develop rapidly.

Moreover, these two things can bring huge benefits to the Great Qin royal family.

He didn't know what His Majesty's head was made of, but he was so clever that he thought of such a technique as movable type printing.

Ying Zheng did not tell Sima Yi that this movable type printing was also purchased from the Wenzhi Mall for 300 Wenzhi value.

Sima Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart and picked up the fourth roll of bamboo slips.

In addition to the law on the collection of commercial tax, there are also measures to protect the interests of merchants and provide various conveniences for merchants.

For example, wider roads were built to facilitate the transportation of goods by merchants......

After seeing it, Sima Yi was once again impressed by His Majesty's wisdom.

Originally, there was no saying that the countries in the eastern corner of the Shenhuang would collect commercial taxes, and this was the first time that His Majesty had put forward it.

Although there was resistance from the collection of commercial taxes, merchants would be willing to pay the tax after they learned about the various protective measures and facilitation measures for merchants in the royal court.

The business environment of the Qin State was the best among the countries in the eastern corner of the Divine Desolation.

The laws of the Qin State are strict, and there will basically be no extortion of merchants by the government.

In other countries in the eastern corner of the gods, it is not uncommon for officials to blackmail and oppress merchants, which makes them miserable.

Without a certain relationship, it is difficult to do business in those countries.

If they want to do business safely, they can only collude with officials and give bribes.

In this way, the merchants would never leave the Qin state in order to pay the commercial tax.

Elsewhere, they can't make more money.

Nor can we get a better business environment.

It couldn't be more dignified.

Shinong industry and commerce, business ranked last.

However, after this reform, the status of merchants in the Qin state will be improved.

Sima Yi finally put down the four rolls of bamboo slips.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Zhongda, you said that if these four things are done well, how much revenue can the Great Qin Treasury increase every year?"

"Your Majesty, if these four things are done well, the Great Qin Treasury will at least double its revenue!" Sima Yi said excitedly.

King Qin nodded: "Then these four things will be left to you, the method of opening a bank, papermaking and movable type printing are the core secrets of business, and they must not be leaked." ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister knows the importance and will definitely protect these secrets closely!" Sima Yi said.

Ying Zheng said: "The widow will send Jinyi Wei to assist you, the sooner you can complete these four things, the better!"

"Your Majesty, the minister will definitely do his best to generate a large amount of revenue for the treasury as soon as possible!"

"Well, you go down!"

"No!"

Sima Yi said a word, and then left the imperial study with excitement.

......

Half a month later.

Ying Zheng held an ancient book and slowly flipped through it.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ji Gang asks to see you!" Lang Zhongling said softly.

Ying Zhengtou also had no head: "Xuan him in!"

"No!" Lang Zhong ordered to leave the main hall.

Soon, the commander of the Jinyi guard entered the imperial study and saluted respectfully: "The minister greets Your Majesty!"

"Pingshen, what's the matter?" King Qin said.

Ji Gang said: "Your Majesty, the Lu clan and the Fan clan have already fought!"

Ying Zheng put down the ancient book and raised his head: "How to fight?"

"Your Majesty, the people of the Fan family, who were bought by the prime minister with a lot of money, led the clansmen on the iron sand mine and fought with the people of the Lu family who were opening the mine, and directly killed and maimed dozens of people from the Lu family.

The Lu family was recently appreciated by His Majesty, and it was the moment when the spring breeze was proud, how could he swallow this evil breath, so he sent three thousand private troops to the mine.

When Fan learned of this news, he also sent a private army to the iron placer mine, and the two sides were in full swing, and they could not be persuaded to persuade them.

The subordinates believe that under the fanning of the inner ghosts, it will not be long before these two top wealthy families will go to war in an all-out way.

At that time, other wealthy families will also choose sides one after another......" Ji Gang told the story in detail.

When Ying Zheng heard the news, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes, which were as deep as black holes, turned, and said coldly:

"An edict to the Fan family: The iron sand mine was discovered by the Lu family on their own territory, and it should be owned by the Lu family, so the Fan family immediately ceased to the army and compensated the Lu family for the losses. ”

"No!" Lang Zhong ordered Zhou Bin to immediately draft an edict.

When Ji Gang, who was on the side, heard this, he couldn't help but feel cold all over his body.

Your Majesty's move is really too dark and ruthless!

His Majesty knew the grievances between the wealthy clans and could not listen to the king's edict, but His Majesty still issued such an edict.

As soon as this order came out,

One of them will make Fan's hair blow, so that he will be more fierce and the Lu family's enemy;

Second, the Lu clan can see the edict as His Majesty's support for the Lu clan, and it is to cultivate the Lu clan into an existence like the Yin clan of the Wei State, which will definitely be even more rampant.

Ying Zheng's edict was like a stab of fire oil poured on the two wealthy families of Lu Fan, who were already burning.

King Qin said: "Wait!"

"What else does Your Majesty command?" said Lang Zhongling bending down respectfully.

Ying Zheng's dark eyes burst into a fine light: "Immediately tell the world that the dog Rong thieves have repeatedly violated my borders, robbed me of my money, slaughtered my people, and trampled on my dignity, within three months of Great Qin, the dogs will be killed, and the Qin army will not step on the dog Rong royal court, and swear not to return!"

"No!" Lang Zhong ordered to go down to draft an edict.

Ji Gang froze in place, looking at His Majesty with shocked eyes.
