Chapter 106: Helping the People with Commerce

The bidding for the project is still being carried out as scheduled......

More than a dozen sessions are carried out every day, and all bidding projects are expected to be completed within ten days.

Since the end of the first day of the bidding meeting, the business that has won the project has begun to implement the matter of employing labor.

Each family took this matter as a top priority, and sent it to the branches of commercial banks in various counties and counties of Daqin, and recruited labor victims from all over the country and sent them to their respective construction sites.

After receiving the instructions of the headquarters, the branches of the trading houses in each county and city posted the announcement of the employment of labor, and for a while, the action of employing laborers spread rapidly throughout the country from Xianyang City as the center.

Countless victims were sent to the construction site by the branches of the county commercial banks.

Wherever there are laborers in the family, the old and the weak in the family are relieved by the merchants' advance payment of money and food, although the advance money and food is very small, but for the victims of the famine, this is a life-saving ration.

Where the announcement of the employment of laborers goes, the victims of the disaster are not being requisitioned!

More and more businesses are succeeding in bidding, and the announcement of hiring labor is spreading more and more to farther counties......

All of a sudden, the entire Great Qin Empire was full of laborers, organized by merchants, and sent to various construction sites. Especially in the area of the Great Wall, as far as the eye can see, at the foot of the Great Wall, from all directions of the country, there are huge teams of disaster victims rushing in, so spectacular!

In a county town where famine is severe.

A man with a bag of chestnut rice rushed to his home.

While crying, he shouted to his wife at home: "Madam, we have food, we have food, we don't need to starve!" ”

I saw a three-year-old child lying next to a woman next to the bed, in a semi-comatose state because of hunger. And he was still holding a half-year-old baby in his arms, because there was no milk, the baby was crying, the woman was worried about calling the eldest son who had entered a semi-comatose state, and at the same time comforting the hungry baby who was crying, shaking the eldest son a few times, and did not wake up, the woman whimpered and cried, helpless tears, which made people heartbroken.

The husband rushed in, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly lit a fire to boil porridge, while comforting his wife: "Madam, the porridge is boiling, the porridge is boiling, our son will be fine, it will be fine." ”

The man comforted his wife while desperately lighting a fire while wiping his own tears.

The wife stabilized her mind a little, and then quickly helped to light the fire, and asked, "Where does this rice come from?" ”

The man pointed in the direction of the city and said, "Great Qin has sent merchants to rescue us, as long as we go to the Great Wall to work for labor, they will pay us in advance to help us, we are all saved, and we will be fine." ”

When the wife heard this, she was pleasantly surprised, and she cried again with joy, holding the baby in her arms, and hugged her husband and wept......

This scene is by no means an example, but it is staged in every household in Daqin.

Countless victims of the disaster, holding the prepaid food handed over to them by the merchants, all shed tears of emotion.

Some people even knelt on the ground, looked at Xianyang from afar and worshipped, chanting that the first emperor was ten thousand years old, and the prime minister was ten thousand years old.

Because, everyone has heard that this is the strategy that the prime minister of the first emperor came up with to revive the disaster.

In the past, when the people were in disaster, all countries sent troops to suppress it, but now, the first emperor was thinking that the people would die, and sent merchants from all over the country to revive the disaster, giving them a way to live.

How can such a benevolent king not let the people of the world kneel down and thank him?

This incident of revitalizing the disaster with engineering is destined to go down in history.

It is of epoch-making significance.

It marks that the slave society has died out in the Qin Empire, and the people are no longer slaves, but the people are the people of the country.

Later, the history of this event was called: Helping the people with business.

This has also become a historical experience that successive kings and ministers must learn from when the country is in trouble.

As the saying goes, the human heart is made of flesh.

Under the disaster relief action of the state and businessmen, countless gentry and local tyrants were also infected by this, and they also extended a helping hand one after another, spontaneously organizing disaster relief actions, donating food and money.

The entire Great Qin Empire, the whole country, all of them are united, in the same boat, united as one.

Later generations of scholars believe that the Chinese civilization reached a new height in the history of mankind at that time.

Xianyang Palace, Junzheng Temple.

The Junzheng Temple is the highest official office of the military administration in the country in Daqin, and the generals of the central government of the Qin State will handle military and political affairs in the Junzheng Temple.

During the Qin period, the official in charge of the military administration of the whole country was the Tai Lieutenant, and the general was appointed to command the army at any time during the war. The army can be divided into three parts: Beijing division soldiers, local soldiers, and border soldiers.

It's just that the Qin Dynasty did not set up a specific candidate for the Taiwei, that is, it was a virtual one. This is the same as the imperial palace, although there is a imperial palace, but there is no specific canonization of who is the crown prince.

This is also because the Qin Dynasty rebuilt a new system at that time, so although many systems were built, the positions were vacant.

Therefore, in the Junzheng Temple, the most powerful at the moment is the garrison chief of the capital, and he is also the internal history of the internal history.

Nei Shi Teng, who accepted the land ceded by Korea as a representative of the Qin State, and later managed the local area in Nanjun, laying the rear foundation for Qin and Chu. Soon after the Qin State unified the world, Nei Shi Teng was appointed as Nei Shi and at the same time took the position of lieutenant in the Jingshi.

Internal history, the position of the secretary. It is an official who assists the Son of Heaven in managing government affairs such as Jue, Lu, Abolishment, and Disposal, and is also in charge of the management of the capital, with great responsibilities, so the internal history is generally a person who is very trusted by the emperor. For example, Meng Yi was the history of his tenure, and then after being placed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was transferred to the post of Ting Wei.

"Lord Neishi, does Your Majesty have the will to order us to quell the chaos?"

Seeing that Nei Shiteng had come to the Junzheng Temple, Zhang Han and the others hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Neshi Teng is nearly sixty years old, and although he is also burly, he is full of white beards.

Hearing the questions of Zhang Han and the others, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Your Majesty has no intention of doing so for the time being, so let's wait." ”

This is not the first time that Zhang Han and the others have asked him about this, but they are asking every day, and Nei Shi Teng is a little annoyed by their questions.

Zhang Han said in frustration: "Now that the famine has subsided, and half a month has passed since the project bidding, there has been no movement on the side of the prime minister, and it is obviously powerless to quell the chaos, why hasn't Your Majesty issued an order for me to wait for the troops to quell the chaos?" ”

"Yes, is it up to those thieves to make trouble in the river valley? Or is His Majesty waiting for the Prime Minister? Everyone was very puzzled by this matter and complained a little.

Nesteng chuckled: "I usually follow Your Majesty's side, but I have never heard that the Prime Minister wants to delay this matter, and it is estimated that Your Majesty should be waiting for the Prime Minister to send troops to quell the chaos." ”

Zhang Han and the others were even more angry: "This prime minister is obviously powerless to quell the chaos, if he had the ability, he would have gone a long time ago, why wait until today." This is really occupying the pit and not, I want to see how long he can drag it out, is it possible that he thinks that the thief will dissolve himself! ”

In fact, Nei Shi Teng can't understand this matter, Li Yang's side has no intention of sending troops to quell the chaos, and the emperor has no intention of ordering the Junzheng Temple to quell the chaos, which is really incomprehensible.

However, thinking that Li Yang's side would drag on any longer, the emperor would definitely be angry, and it would be impossible for him to drag it out all the time, so it was estimated that the will to quell the chaos would not take a few days. So he said to Zhang Han and others: "Wait patiently for a few days, it is estimated that the will will will come in these days." ”

The generals nodded, there had been no war for several years, and everyone was counting on using those tens of thousands of thieves to make meritorious contributions.
