Zhangtai Palace! Chaotian Palace!

"Ten thousand years of kings!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, sit down. ”

"Thank you, the king!"

"Discussion"

Shang Ying arched his hand and said: "Qiyu Wang, Longxi, Hanzhong, Guandong and other counties have come to the county to keep the song, the land reclaimed by the organ plough is looser than the manual and ox plough ploughing, the people have sown one after another, this autumn harvest of my Qin country will be the most in the Qin country over the years, and the lowest is expected to be more than five times that of last year." ”

Ying Zheng was also overjoyed to hear this, nothing is important in these years, and said: "Good, the Ministry of Engineering and the Ministry of War have made great contributions to this matter, and they must not be rewarded. ”

"Thank the king for the reward, this is the duty of the minister. The two Shangshu thanked him.

Shang Ying also said: "Second, the Taishou of Xichuan and the two southwestern counties also wrote a song and submitted it to the cabinet. The ministers and the three cabinet elders have been reviewed, and the unsuitable people have been crossed out, and today they are the specific candidates for the court's discussion. ”

It was another heated discussion, and the candidates for the county lieutenant and the county commander were finally determined.

"In the third discussion, Wang Xiao, the county guard of Ba County, is seriously ill and cannot govern, so he needs the imperial court to send another county guard to Ba County to serve as the county guard. Shang Ying said.

Ying Zheng said: "The government affairs of Ba County will be handled by the county first, and the cabinet will be limited to three days to elect those who have the ability to serve as the county keeper and hand it over to the sole decision, and the matter will be discussed by the cabinet." ”

"The Cabinet has a royal order. ”

Ying Zheng saw that Shang Ying no longer spoke, and knew that he had nothing to do, so he asked according to the usual practice: "Do you ministers have something to discuss?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to discuss!" a voice thought from below.

The ministers were also a little surprised, it stands to reason that the matters discussed are submitted to the cabinet for approval, and the cabinet can not decide and then submit it to the government for decision, and the government can not easily decide before the court meeting, and few ministers personally put forward it at the court meeting.

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be the voice of Fan Li, the head of the household.

Ying Zheng asked lightly: "What is Fan Gong discussing?"

Fan Li said: "Your Majesty, there is no grain in several granaries of Qin, and the remaining grain is only enough for the army for two months. Only the second law, the minister has the courage to borrow grain from the grain merchants of the Qin State in the name of the government, and repay it after the autumn harvest, and the grain merchants can be promised one or three times the interest. ”

"What?

"What a ridiculous!"

"This is simply an outrageous act. ”

"Fan Li is trying to destroy the foundation of my Qin State, the Qin State is heavy on agriculture and suppresses business, if you do what he says, what will the businessmen think, and how will the people view the court. ”

"Your Excellency is serious, this law is a good way to save the country, how can you say that it is so unbearable. ”

"yes, I think it's doable. ”

There are those who agree, there are those who curse, and there are those who wait.

"The king can't, if the court acts like this, what kind of majesty is there, how to convince the people, the king thinks twice!" said a minister.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are opposed, if you borrow grain from merchants, it will definitely boost the arrogance of merchants, this is a shake in our Qin State's policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing business, and it will send a bad message to merchants - it is wrong to emphasize agriculture and suppress business. Another minister came out and objected.

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Fan Shangshu's strategy, and now the top priority is to raise military rations to ensure that the food supply to the army is continuous, which is the best policy. Jing Tian said.

Although Fan Li only said that he borrowed grain from merchants, in fact, he was already challenging the law of Qin, and the law of Qin has gradually improved since Shang Ying's change of law, and the results have become more and more significant, and there are more and more people who recognize it, and there are naturally more people who oppose Fan Li.

And the person who can't agree with this matter the most is Shang Ying, which is already a slap in the face, whether it is intentional or unintentional, he can't agree, agreeing means that his Shang Ying's change is wrong, of course, this is too absolute, but there must be many people who think so.

"Dare to ask Lord Li, is your so-called imperial court prestige that the army has no food and the people have lost the country?" Fan Li asked angrily towards an old minister.

"You, you, you ......"

In Fan Li's view, the prestige of the Qin State is only when the people respect, love, and serve it; Fan Li said loudly.

"Good, good, good people respect, love, and serve. Fan Shangshu's proposal is lonely, and I want to tell you that the good or bad of Shangjun's change of law is obvious to all, and the people of Qin are the beneficiaries of the change, and Lone believes that the eyes of the four million people of Great Qin are not blind. Ying Zheng's voice was final.

Today's court meeting is really a bit unexpected, Cai Ze, Zhang Yi, and Fan Ju did not speak, and they also knew very well in their hearts that Fan Li's approach was the best choice for today's plan, and they understood that they would not stir up and enter until they had to, not that they were afraid of things.

Their identities can't let him easily make conclusions, the court is treacherous, and it is possible to discuss for ten days and half a month, but it is too late to get there, so they have to work together with Yingzheng and the monarchs and ministers to come up with a set of plans as quickly as possible.

In the final analysis, the cabinet exists for the sake of winning the government, and if you don't see it, the court's merchants are silent.

"Alas, people are old, old men......" Shang Ying walked past the three of them with a lamentation.

Outside the Chaotian Palace, the ministers were all heading towards the carriage and horse farm, and Fan Li was the same, Zhao Gao suddenly appeared in the crowd, invited Fan Li to the side, and said to Fan Li: "Fan Shangshu, the king asked me to bring you a word." ”

Fan Li asked with seven points of worry and three points of doubt: "What did the king ask the chief manager to bring to Fan Li?"

Tell Fan Gong that he will do whatever he wants to do boldly, and support him alone. Zhao Gao conveyed Yingzheng's words word for word.

Fan Li was a little moved, he also thought that Yingzheng wanted to warn himself, but he didn't expect to support himself so strongly.

"Fan Li thanked Jun for his trust. ”

Zhao Gao said again: "Fan Shangshu, Gao has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"

Fan Li said: "Manager Zhao, please speak, Fan Li remember." ”

Zhao Gao said: "No matter what Fan Shangshu wants to do, according to Zhao Gao's opinion, Lord Shangshu still goes to Shangjun's Mansion to get Shangjun's support, although he doesn't dare to say that the wind and waves are calm, but there is no problem with the wind and waves." ”

Fan Li looked at Zhao Gao squarely, he didn't expect that in addition to Zheng He, who was hidden in the depths, even Zhao Gao, who usually had no sense of existence, had such an opinion. Sure enough, the person who can follow Yingzheng to do things next to him will not be a simple person.

He Fan Li naturally knew these truths, but since Zhao Gao said it, he also had to accept this favor.

Back at the household department, Fan Li discussed with the household servant and the six foreign ministers the problems that would arise after borrowing grain, as well as the solutions, and wrote a note and submitted it to the cabinet.

Cabinet.

Since the early dynasty three days ago, Shang Ying has not come to the cabinet, saying that he occasionally feels cold and unwell, and he is recuperating at home, and everyone knows that this is to express dissatisfaction with Yingzheng's support for Fan Li.

"Okay, good, this insight is really to the point, Fan Li is definitely the most suitable person to serve as the head of the household. Cai Ze picked up a roll and praised.

Fan Ju and Zhang Yi came over curiously, and they were also full of praise after reading it.

Zhang Yi said: "If it is really not a loss, it is Fan Gong, knowing that if the imperial court borrows grain from grain merchants, some unscrupulous businessmen will see that there is less grain, so they will rise the price of grain, and it is the people of Qin who will suffer at that time, and Fan Li has predicted that this situation will happen, so he suggested to the cabinet that the price of grain be set at 30 yuan and one stone, and join the Qin law, and those who dare to raise the price of grain can be convicted by law, which is really a good idea." ”

"Yes, not only food, Fan Li also mentioned in the note: some daily necessities needed by the people, such as cloth, linen, etc., can also be priced by the imperial court, such as Qin law, so that since then, there will no longer be people in Qin who cannot afford to buy cloth to make clothes due to unscrupulous merchants raising the price of cloth, etc., so that they will freeze to death. Fan Ju also said happily.

"Yes, yes, it's a good idea for some items to be set by the imperial court, and it is worthy of being the world-famous Fan Gong, especially the one mentioned later: In the future, the merchants of the Qin State must have a license issued by the Qin State no matter what business they do, which is really amazing." Zhang Yi is impressed. Zhang Yi said.

A month later.

Heaven and Earth Inn, on the fifth floor, in a large private room, plus Fan Li, there are about 20 people, all of whom are large and small grain merchants of the Qin Kingdom.

Fan Li opened his mouth and said: "You should all know what you are here for? Of course, if you don't want to, you naturally don't want it. ”

"Fan Gong used to be in business, we naturally believe in Fan Gong's character, and my Qian store gave 50,000 stone of grain. ”

"Li's shop sold 100,000 stones. ”

"Zhao's shop cost 50,000 stones. ”

"Zhao Wen's shop cost 100,000 stones. ”

“............ 200,000 stones. ”

“............ 150,000 stones. ”

“......”

“......”

......

For many years, I have understood that my arms can't reach my thighs, whether I want to or not, I have done my part, and besides, the household department is still the book, and the three members of the imperial court have come out to discuss with them, the businessmen of Shinong, industry and commerce, which can be said to have given them enough face.

Naturally, there are people in this world who don't know how to lift, and there are four or five people who haven't said a word, and have been watching coldly.

Fan Li didn't care about them, and calculated that the amount of grain raised was about 2.5 million, which was really beyond his expectations.

Fan Li said to the four people who were watching coldly: "Since the four of them have no grain to sell in the imperial court, Ben Shangshu will naturally not force it, so please ask the four of you." ”

Pointing to the direction of the door of the private room, the four of them got up to say goodbye, Fan Li sneered, the four of them were grain merchants pushed out by the old clan of the Qin State. It seems that some people still can't recognize whose world this is.

The four of them walked by, and Fan Li said to the people in the private room: "I buy the book of the household department, you should all know that from now on, you must have a grain transaction document approved by the imperial court before you can sell grain to others, otherwise, not only will the grain be confiscated." They will also be dealt with according to the law. ”

"What?"

"That's good. ”

"What does this mean?"

The merchant in the box began to talk, his face a little flustered.

"My lord, please show me the way......"

"Yes, my lord......"

Fan Li said calmly: "Your business documents, I have brought them to you today, with this document, no one can embarrass you, but you must remember that you can only do grain trading, otherwise, this document will not be able to save your life." ”

"Master Xie Shangshu. And they all bowed.

Someone remembered the four who had left, and it seemed that their fate was sealed from the moment they walked out of the box.
