"Li Yang, what Feng Xiang said about the price, but it's true?"

As soon as Yingzheng's words fell, everyone sighed and looked at Li Yang.

This matter is very serious, just a Qin Mausoleum that is about to be completed, it is a million gold higher than the normal cost, and the Ah Fang and the Great Wall are all counted, and the extra money is completely unimaginable.

And, more importantly, at present, the entire territory of Daqin is full of disaster victims, how can we talk about labor costs when we hire disaster victims? A full meal is enough!

In this way, the extra profit is more than doubled.

A businessman, if he takes over Qinling, is equivalent to making a profit of more than one million gold.

What is the concept of a million gold?

There is a top chef in the world, and his monthly salary is three golds. According to the salary of later generations, it must be tens of thousands of yuan.

Of course, in the Qin period, gold was in front of the quantity, which refers to gold, and the quantity is in front and gold is behind, which refers to how many catties of copper there are.

For example, if it is 100 gold, it is 100 taels of gold, and if it is 100 gold, it is 100 catties of copper.

Converting it again, there was no concept of literature in the Qin period, and the value of money at that time was calculated by weight, and the currency in circulation at that time was half a tael and weighed twelve baht. Twenty-four baht is one tael, and sixteen taels is one catty. Because of the low productivity, the purchasing power of one sentence should be about ten yuan in later generations.

In other words, one gold is a pound of copper, which is equivalent to 384 yuan, and the purchasing power is equivalent to 3,840 yuan in later generations.

One million gold, that is, one million catties of copper, is the purchasing power of 380 million yuan.

According to Feng Quji, 300,000 people, half a year to complete the Qinling project, the labor cost is only 900,000 gold, which is equal to the salary of each labor force for half a year is three gold, and the monthly salary is equal to the purchasing power of 1,900 yuan in later generations. And it is normal for a top cook to pay three times the salary of a coolie.

If you build a Qin Mausoleum, you can earn about 380 million yuan equal to the future generations, which is also a proper and serious waste of state-owned property in the later generations!

Not to mention that Yingzheng favors Li Yang, even if Yingzheng is Li Yang's father, he will be so angry that this father's son jumps up and scolds the loser!

It is precisely because of this that all the imperial historians participated in Li Yang's collusion with officials and businessmen, and what they said would be so righteous and stern and impassioned.

If you fuck repair the Qinling Tomb, which is about to be completed, you can give the businessman an extra profit of 380 million yuan, and dare to say that it is not collusion? If you say this, no one in the world will believe your nonsense.

Everyone looked at Li Yang, wanting to see how he would answer, how to quibble, if he dared to say that it was not true, Feng Xiang and his party would rise up and attack, but it was clearly written in the bidding regulations, and they dared to quibble.

If he dared to admit it, then there would be no need for everyone to attack, and the emperor would not spare him.

I saw that Li Yang seemed to be a nobody, and he bowed his hand to the emperor and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, these prices have been listed in the bidding matters, and the price of the Qinling project that Feng Xiang said is true. ”

Wow......

Some ministers who have not seen the bidding price are in an uproar again when they hear this!

Everyone was stunned by Li Yang's generous loser's handwriting.

Is this still the extremely smart prime minister?

No matter how stupid a person is, he won't give such a big profit to a businessman, right?

At this time, everyone felt that the imperial historians might be right, if Li Yang didn't collude with the businessman and make profits from it, who would believe it?

The first emperor Yingzheng was also so angry that he almost vomited blood, a Qin Mausoleum that was about to be completed had a profit of one million gold, Li Yang's pit goods, and the means of defeating the Great Qin treasury were simply to the point of madness!

What's more, Li Yang still looks disapproving, doesn't this mean that he doesn't feel that this money is his own, so he doesn't feel distressed at all?

This made Ying Zheng tremble with anger.

However, he did not get angry immediately, but forcibly held back the anger in his heart, turned his head and asked Ji Kai, who was in charge of the treasury money and grain: "Ji Kai, do you know the price of the project bidding?" If at the above price, the tax after the harvest this autumn can afford these works? ”

Ji Kai came out of the queue and glanced at Li Yang, although he was Feng Quji's subordinate, he still had his heart for Li Yang, but this time he couldn't cover up for Li Yang, so he had to say cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, this ...... The minister has indeed seen the price of the project bidding this morning, and according to the price of those projects, to be honest, even if the tax can be collected in full this year, it will ...... I am afraid that it will be difficult to pay for these works. ”

This time, Ying Zheng is really angry!

A country's taxes, collected in full, are not enough to pay for those projects. It can be seen that the price of these projects is so high that it is terrifying!

Moreover, all the money is used for the project, what should Daqin Jiangshan Sheji do?

Don't you want to raise the army, raise the government, and spend all kinds of items?

Where is this to solve the famine? It is clear that he wants the Great Qin Empire to collapse directly!

In the words of later generations, it is to let the big machine of the state stop functioning directly. Not a penny of the treasury is gone, the army mutinies, officials go on strike, and it can be said that this will completely lead to the direct demise of the regime. Even if he wins the throne, he will become a famine victim......

Can the emperor not be angry? Whoever becomes the emperor, hearing his prime minister doing such nonsense, it will be a thunderous rage.

Bang!

Ying Zheng angrily slapped the table, pointed at Li Yang, and shouted: "Bold Li Yang!" If you can't come up with a reasonable explanation today, I'll cut off your confused head! ”

Hiss......

The entire hall was silent.

Everyone looked at Li Yang, wanting to hear what else he could explain.

Of course, such a serious deficit in the treasury can hardly be justified for any reason, right?

Especially Feng Quji's party, he was already happy in his heart.

No matter how much the emperor favored him, this time he committed such a big crime of emptying the treasury, the emperor would not be able to spare him.

It is not impossible to lose the official position and remove the knight, or directly cut off the head at the worst.

Of course, Zhang Han and other generals were also disdainful, and thought that he was going to break it, and he said that the chaos must be quelled first, but it turned out to be such a ridiculous operation.

With such a deficit in the treasury and feeding money and grain to a group of merchants, the emperor was not so angry that he killed people.

I saw that Li Yang looked aggrieved and said: "Your Majesty, if the minister said that the price of the tender is just to attract everyone to bid, and it will not be the final project price, this is ...... Can you believe it? ”

Ying Zheng frowned and snorted coldly: "You mean that the businessman will push the price down by himself?" ”

Li Yang nodded: "It is precisely for this reason, the reason why the minister set the bidding price of the project to the sky, in fact, is to attract 120,000 wealthy businessmen in Xianyang City to this matter, as long as everyone participates in the bidding, the lowest price wins, and the final transaction price can naturally be lowered." Not to mention ......"

"What's more, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go!" Ying Zheng glared at Li Yang reluctantly.

Obviously, the emperor was really angry with him this time.

Li Yang said: "What's more, this is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, but any businessman with a little patriotic heart is impossible to take advantage of the disaster to make money, and the minister dares to guarantee that the final transaction price of various projects will be very reasonable." The bidding for this project is a win-win situation. ”

"Li Yang, I see that you are really confused!"

As soon as Ying Zheng heard this, he scoffed and said, "Do you know that businessmen are all mercenary, and you actually think that they will lower the price for themselves?" How foolish! ”

At this time, Feng Quji also sneered: "Prime Minister Zhong, you are really thinking too well, businessmen seek profits, naturally the greater the profits, the better, how can they voluntarily lower each other's prices." Even if there is a slight competition, there will be enough profit margin, and it is tantamount to whimsical to want them to push the price to a reasonable level on their own. And ......"

Speaking of this, Feng Qujian glanced at Li Yang and continued: "Moreover, I have heard that in this famine, the grain merchants in Xianyang City have more than doubled the price of chestnut rice. It is not an exaggeration to say that such profiteers are taking advantage of disasters to make money. ”

Zhang Han also said: "What Feng Xiang said is that businessmen are profit-seeking, and in their eyes, they all value the word profit, how can they talk about the idea of loving the country and the people, the prime minister praised the businessman for being so noble, and we also think it is incredible!" ”

The ministers of civil and military affairs nodded one after another, and agreed with Zhang Han's words very much.

Businessmen love the country and the people? I'm afraid even a child won't believe it.
