Chapter Eighty-Five: Is It Painless to Draw Thorns, or Is It Immortal to Beat with Sticks?
Julu Palace......
"Your Majesty has arrived."
Zhao Zhong shouted.
"See Your Majesty."
At this time, under the palace hall, there were not only civil and military ministers, but also wealthy businessmen and powerful clans from all over Julu County.
Ying Zheng wore simple clothes and stepped onto his throne.
"No."
After sitting cross-legged, Ying Zheng said lightly.
"Take a seat."
Zhao Zhong shouted again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The crowd bowed again, and then knelt down one after another.
"I've invited you from all over Julu County, neither for food nor for wine."
"Great Qin has ruled the world for more than three years."
"The four seas are peaceful, the country and the people are safe, and you can't do without your help."
Ying Zheng gushed a lot of beautiful scenes, which can be described as a river of words, and the words are wild.
The giant deer magnates and businessmen below all laughed and clapped their hands all the time.
Ying Zheng seemed to be tired, paused, and then changed the conversation and said, "But what? There are always people who want to let this peaceful and prosperous era ignite the flames of wolf smoke and war again, so that the people of the world will suffer from swords. ”
The resounding words fell, the hall was silent, and everyone's hearts felt as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer, and many people felt a little suffocated.
Just now, there was talking and laughing, just like being in the spring of March, in the blink of an eye, it made people fall into the cold winter wax moon and experience what it means to be cold and biting.
"Your Majesty, such a traitor is indignant by people and gods, and everyone in the world will be punished."
"Yes! Under the rule of His Majesty's wise and martial arts, the world is rich and the four seas are safe and healthy. ”
"Your Majesty, but there is an order, and we will obey it."
For a time, the hall was full of whiskers and flattery.
Ying Zheng has long been accustomed to this.
People in this world basically have two sides, with a smile on their faces, and a numb heart in their hearts!
One by one, what they say is better than what they sing, but if it really comes to the time when the mountains and rivers are broken and the building is about to collapse, these people are some wall grass.
Qin Guoqiang, they sang the praises of Qin.
Once the Qin State is weakened, these people will be like mad dogs, desperately rushing forward in order to earn a piece of fat for themselves.
It's doggy, but that's what life is.
Dogs!
With a few leftovers, the mad dog can become a loyal hound.
Dogs are always loyal only to bones, and whoever can give them a bone to eat is their owner.
Kill a disobedient dog once in a while to boost the prestige of the owner.
But if you want to slaughter all the dogs, you will inevitably be counterattacked, and it will be self-defeating.
"You are all loyal martyrs of Great Qin, and I am very relieved."
"I have been touched by your sincerity, so I am ready to give you a chance to make a fortune."
Ying Zheng looked at the giant deer magnates below, and said with sincerity on his face.
The treasury is short and money is urgently needed, and Handan and his party have temporarily relieved their urgent needs.
But there are too many places where I need to use money, what should I do?
It is naturally impossible to rob openly, and it is impossible to punish crimes by eating all the tricks in the world, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
Said that the war in northern Xinjiang was about to start, let these people donate money?
Not only did it damage his identity, but it also had little effect.
Therefore, as a master, how can there be a reason to compete with dogs for food?
If you want these people to willingly come up with a lot of real money, you need a bait that they can't refuse.
Colored glass and porcelain have been sold in Xianyang, and even the business qualifications have been sold.
Paper salt and wine are all imperial franchises, and no one is allowed to interfere in them.
All three of these are currently profitable transactions, and they are extremely profitable, bringing huge revenues to the imperial treasury every year.
The time is not yet ripe for the copper and iron franchise, and once the time is ripe, the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in the world must be the foundation of the state.
Today's imperial aquatic mine resources are mostly controlled by local magnates.
Rash action will only affect the whole body.
The war in northern Xinjiang is about to break out, and the war in southern Xinjiang is in full swing, so it is not appropriate to implement the new policy in a big way.
"I don't know what kind of opportunity His Majesty has given you?"
At this time, a slightly bold nobleman asked a question.
"That's a good question."
"Many of you here have families that have been in business for several generations and are proficient in the way of drilling."
"When you do business, you naturally buy and sell."
"But when it comes to buyers, who is the biggest buyer in the world?"
Ying Zheng threw out a question and scanned the audience.
"Your Majesty, of course."
Almost all of them laughed in unison.
"Yes, it's me, and to do business with me is to do business with this world."
"Needless to say, whether it's the Bajun Fan clan who is rich enough to rival the country, or the Longxi Wu clan who is more than a feudal monarch, everyone has heard of it, right?"
Ying Zheng not only threw out the bait, but also took out two clans that are famous in the world and rich to set an example.
For a while, in the main hall, many people's eyes showed yearning and longing.
Why did Fan's widow make the originally crumbling Fan not only rejuvenated, but also rich in the world?
It's not because of a deal with the Empire, that is, Your Majesty.
The Longxi Wu clan was originally a lowly shepherd, but he still relied on his own ability to become the undisputed king of cattle and horses in Daqin.
The iron cavalry of the Great Qin Empire, one-fifth of the war horses, are from this king of cattle and horses.
Every year, not only do they buy war horses and livestock from Biansai Hudi, but they also sell them to countless livestock in the empire, and they can make huge profits that make people bustle.
The Wu clan has also become more and more powerful, until now it has long been famous and famous.
His Majesty's meaning is already obvious.
It's a godsend!
Who doesn't want to make their family famous and prominent?
Before you know it, many people are breathing a little short of breath and their eyes are a little red.
It's just that after a while, many people thought about their family backgrounds again, and there didn't seem to be anything that His Majesty could value, and they couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that this time the lucky one will not fall on his head again.
There are a large number of mines in Ba County, which are rich in mercury and various scarce metals.
Not to mention the Longxi Wu clan, there are countless cattle, sheep and livestock, all of which are indispensable strategic materials and are urgently needed by the empire.
Ying Zheng saw that the time was almost up, and said: "Do you know what is the easiest thing in the world to make money? ”
Suddenly, everyone pricked up their ears and listened with bated breath, for fear of missing something.
"Is it gold and silver jewelry? Or silk satin? ”
"Is it a good field of aquatic products? Or is it a freight operation? ”
"No, it's neither, because it's all very costly."
"Now I have a lucrative deal here, are you willing to do it?"
Ying Zheng's voice was extremely seductive, like an infinite magic sound, and began to bewitch.
"Yes."
All the aristocratic merchants shouted loudly, for fear of being one step behind others.
"Julu is backed by the Bohai Sea and adjacent to the four islands of Yingzhou."
"There are a large number of despicable alien races in the four islands of Yingzhou, and they can get a large number of slaves who do not need to pay wages as long as they are transported back to China."
"You say, is this trade profitable?"
Yingzhou directly threw a bombshell, causing an uproar.
What do you mean?
Of course, there were slaves, but most of them were after sinners.
The imperial court has long forbidden the people to keep slaves privately.
Is Your Majesty ready to abolish this ban?
What a good thing!
What a great thing!
If there were a large number of free slaves, he would save himself a huge salary every year.
Slaves are lazy and slippery?
Is it because the thorns don't hurt, or does the stick not die?
Are slaves also human?
Killing is not guilty, it's just private property!
All of them seemed to smell an unusual breath, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Are the good days finally coming?
