Chapter Ninety-Seven: Benefiting the Country, the People, and Benefiting Yourself

Everyone nodded, and a wealthy businessman surnamed Hu said: "Don't hide it from the prime minister, this is indeed the biggest business I have ever seen in my life." And the bid price on this is indeed extremely attractive, hehe. ”

Everyone laughed along.

Li Yang naturally understood that they still had concerns, so he said: "Since you are interested, it is a good thing, of course, if there is any doubt, it is okay to say it." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then the wealthy businessman surnamed Hu said: "Prime Minister, the contracting methods of these projects, to be honest, have been written very carefully in the bidding regulations, and they are also very fair to us and other businessmen. It's just that...... I heard that the treasury is empty, can the treasury get money and grain for such a big project? ”

Everyone nodded again and again, and said worriedly: "Yes, in case we spend all our money for the project and hire people to carry out the construction, but the treasury is unable to settle the account with us, this ...... I'm afraid I'm going to go bankrupt. ”

In fact, this worry was mentioned in front of Li Yang, so Li Yang was not surprised.

Li Yang looked very surprised and said, "How can you have such an idea? ”

The crowd said, "Is the news I'm waiting for wrong?" The treasury is full of money and food? ”

Li Yang smiled and said lightly: "The news you are waiting for is naturally correct, the construction of the country has been carried out for many years, and the treasury is indeed running out of money and food at the moment." However, in the spring of this year, a new policy was implemented, and all two million servants were disbanded and returned to their hometowns to farm. Now, in the whole territory of Daqin, all the fields will be planted with grain chestnuts, and the autumn harvest is imminent, and it will not take two or three months, taxes will be collected, and the treasury will be abundant, and how can it not pay for your projects? ”

Everyone nodded, what Li Yang said was also very reasonable.

This year, because all the servants were dismissed, the situation of no one cultivating the fields in previous years has been completely solved, and if taxes are levied this year, they will certainly be able to collect them in full, so that the treasury will indeed be very full.

But......

Everyone was still worried, and another wealthy businessman said cautiously: "What the prime minister said is indeed reasonable, but it's just ...... If there is a serious famine today, I have heard that there have been rebellions in Huiji County, Pei County, and Surabaya County in the Great River Valley...... It's not clear. ”

Obviously, this is to the point, and everyone nods their heads.

There is chaos in the world, everyone is starting to rebel, how can they still pay money, grain and taxes?

Li Yang understood what they meant, so he said: "I can't hide it, this is actually the reason why Benxiang wants to contract the project to you!" ”

"Oh?"

Everyone was confused.

The businessman surnamed Hu asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Li Yang did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically: "I would like to ask you and others, is the bidding price of the project high in profit for Yu Er and others?" ”

Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and smiled embarrassedly: "If you look at the price above, this profit is already extremely attractive." ”

Li Yang nodded and said, "I, Daqin, let Dali Yu Er and others, is it because I Daqin himself doesn't know how to build such a project?" No, the reason why I, Daqin, gave in favor of you, was actually to seek a win-win situation. ”

"Win-win?" Everyone was even more confused, and they didn't understand what Li Yang meant by this win-win situation.

Li Yang said with a smile: "You say that there is a serious famine in the world, and there is even more chaos of rebellion in the river basin, I ask you, now that the new policy is implemented, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, why do they still rebel?" ”

The rich merchants replied, "This is ...... Naturally, because of famine. ”

Li Yang nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, it's famine." If there had been no famine, the people would not have rebelled at the moment of this new deal. So, as long as the problem of famine is solved, chaos can be eradicated, right? ”

The wealthy businessmen nodded, but they agreed with Li Yang's words.

It can be said that everyone in the world has seen the hope of living and working in peace and contentment and peace in the world. As long as the current famine is overcome and the autumn harvest is reached, it can be said that Daqin will be completely stable and peaceful.

Even if there is even a small group of people who want to rebel, it will not be able to make any waves at all.

At this time, Li Yang continued: "The win-win situation mentioned by the prime minister is actually that Daqin will contract the national project to you, so that you can benefit you, and you will help Daqin solve the famine and immediately start employing the victims, so that the victims have a way to make a living, for Daqin, the chaos has been eradicated, for the businessmen, the cost of employing the victims is so thin, and the profits are even greater, isn't this a win-win situation?" ”

"This ......"

Everyone was stunned and directly dumbfounded.

Now they finally understood why Daqin would contract these big projects to them, it turned out to be for them to help solve the problem of the victims caused by the famine.

Of course, they can become the most powerful wealthy businessmen in the Qin State, and all of them are extremely smart people, so they immediately understand that Li Yang's strategy is brilliant.

That's right, as long as they are willing to take over these projects, they can indeed solve the famine completely, and they themselves can also hire labor to carry out the construction at a small cost, so it has to be said that it is a win-win situation.

Li Yang continued: "Business, naturally, is the pursuit of a win-win situation, both sides seek profits, as long as it is beneficial to themselves, there is something to do." Now, in the territory of Daqin, the fields are full of half-ripe grains, as long as the famine is solved, after March, the treasury will be abundant, and I, Daqin's million heroes, even if there is still a little bit of chaos and thieves who want to rebel, it will be able to wipe them out in an instant. Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else to worry about in this business? ”

"This ......"

Everyone was speechless for a while, because if they really did what Li Yang said, the victims would have a way to survive, and this chaos would stop, and when the autumn harvest came, the treasury would naturally have money and grain to pay for their project.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, obviously to see who else everyone has concerns.

At this time, Ba Shi stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, the prime minister has analyzed the problem very clearly, do you still have any concerns?" Anyway, no matter whether you do this big business or not, my Ba family will definitely do it. One is to make money, and the other is to help Daqin solve the chaos caused by the famine, my Ba family doesn't want to see chaos in the world, and all the money and food in various places have been forcibly taken away by thieves. ”

I have to say that this sentence is really useful.

When the wealthy businessmen heard this, they all nodded with deep sympathy.

A businessman said: "What Boss Ba said is that my Wang family's business in Huiji County, Pei County, and Surabaya County will all be damaged, especially the business houses in Pei County and Surabaya County, and all the money and grain will be expropriated by the thieves. ”

Another person also said: "Isn't it, every time a thief attacks a city, he will collect all the money and grain of the city for food, alas! ”

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ba Shi said: "In this case, what do you have to hesitate about, undertaking national projects is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and this matter will make our businessmen respected." ”

Li Yang also hurriedly said: "Ba Shi is right, this is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, Daqin will not forget you, and the people will not forget you, this minister can allow you to erect a monument next to the project, so that future generations will know who built such a project through the ages, so that your name will be passed down for thousands of years." ”

The worries have long been dispelled, and now that he is famous and profitable, he is not a shrewd businessman if he is unwilling at this time.

At this time, a group of businessmen said one after another: "We are willing to solve the problem of famine for Daqin and undertake national projects." ”

Li Yang was overjoyed, slapped the desk, and laughed: "Okay! You are relieved of my worries for Daqin today, and on this day, Daqin will live up to your vision. I can assure you that I will make the name of the merchant respected in the future. ”

Everyone hurriedly said in unison: "Prime Minister Xie Zhong!" ”

Li Yang values businessmen and relies on businessmen, in fact, everyone has heard Ba Shi talk about this for a long time, and Li Yang relies on their businessmen to solve the famine problem, which also shows that the status and role of businessmen are very important in his heart.

Now, when I hear him say that he will make the status of a businessman respected in the future, I am still willing to believe it, and my excitement is overflowing.
