Without the intervention of silver, our treasury would have been empty! Therefore, it is necessary to develop foreign trade and encourage the people of Daqin to do business with the surrounding small countries, and when commerce is developed, our treasury and government treasury will soon be full. ”

"Oh? Xiao Aiqing, do you mean to use the way of trading to get foreign money back to Daqin? ”

"That's right! That's the best way to get rich! It was in this commercial war that Weichen wanted to join the military war, and sent a group of elite spies to act as merchants to foreign countries to steal information while doing business. Always and everywhere for the future to swallow this small country, and do very necessary preliminary work! ”

"Wait, wait! Little Aiqing! I didn't turn it around, so why do I still collect information? Isn't that just business intelligence? Is there a hairy connection with the war? ”

"When Your Majesty was young, he was not only the commander of the three armies, but also a master of use? What Weichen said is just to turn the spy into a businessman, that is to say, the room is no longer used exclusively, change the identity, add a cover, and then use the room! ”

"Oh! I see! So wonderful! Kill two birds with one stone! ”

"Could it be that the reason why the small national division has not been implemented for a long time is in the selection of people?" The prince was still thoughtful, so Yun Xiaoshui nodded yes.

"Then issue an edict to recruit this special army in the name of the national law that encourages foreign trade among the people of Great Qin, regardless of men and women, young and old, as long as they have a business mind!"

"Great, Your Highness! Wei Chen thought about it like this, but added one more thing: 'This kind of spy businessman must have the loyalty to defend Great Qin to the death'......"

The First Emperor smiled and added, "This kind of loyalty can be trained after being recruited!" ”

"Wonderful! His Majesty is a god-like figure in the end, and his words are extraordinary, in one word. ”

The prince became active all of a sudden, his speech became short, and he waved his hand and said, "That's it!" The little national teacher immediately went to do it, strengthened the country and the army as soon as possible, and built a second city wall, so that my father could fulfill his long-cherished wish and protect the Great Qin for thousands of generations! ”

"Holy! This prince is more anxious than me and His Majesty the First Emperor! Be careful, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! Yun Xiaoshui thought in his heart, and then said with a smile "hehe": "Weichen, please issue an edict and announce it to the world!" ”

"Hey! Xiao Aiqing...... Is this going to drain my treasury? "The First Emperor really hasn't been so stingy today!

Yun Xiaoshui replied very happily: "No! Basically do not move the money in the treasury! ”

"Really? Where did you get it from? ”

"Check the fake and empty treasury!"

The First Emperor and the Crown Prince, father and son, looked at each other and smiled.

An edict encouraging the people of Great Qin to do business, especially subsidizing and rewarding them to do business with foreigners, was announced to the world. At the same time, the imperial court sent secret agents to investigate some of the officials in the capital and some local county officials.

This was originally Yun Xiaoshui's attempt to find out what officials were foolish, lied about, and pretended to be, but in fact, it wasn't Yun Xiaoshui's retaliation against them, but he just wanted to find out what they were talking about. As a result, he went the right way, and he found it right! accidentally found out the truth of "thieves shouting to catch thieves" and "pretending to be poor".

More than a dozen high-ranking officials shouted that they were poor, thinking that the office funds given by the imperial court were small and the treatment of officials was low, but there were a total of 2 million taels of gold and silver hidden in the house, hundreds of thousands of taels, 100,000 taels of ordinary ones, and 80,000 taels of gold and silver were found in the home of the least county magistrate!

According to the investigation and unannounced investigation, officials generally use the method of "setting up clever names and taking a ride to collect taxes" to embezzle and make money. For example, when the government collected a land tax and a poll tax, he added a land management tax, a land use tax, and a land ownership tax to the land tax, turning one tax into three taxes, and although the total tax amount did not triple the amount, it was close to quadruplifying! He also divided the poll tax into three, the old and young pension tax, the adult service tax, and the labor cultivation tax.

"That's too daring! Why didn't the people, especially the common people, complain? Yun Xiaoshui didn't control his emotions in front of his subordinates, and blurted out and scolded.

Several spy team leaders who came to report to Yun Xiaoshui hurriedly replied: "Master Guo, don't be angry! Those corrupt officials have their own tricks, and most of them use the means of bribing traitors, cracking down on typical people, coaxing and delaying, and concealing and bullying their superiors and subordinates, so most of the common people have money in their hands, and they are unwilling to offend the officials if they take out a little more, and it is not worth it to ruin their own families. ”

"While shouting to the court for money, while asking for money from the common people! How is this the same as the social situation in the world for thousands of years? This traitorous official has been around since ancient times, is it still hereditary! ”

Yun Xiaoshui thought in his heart, so he suggested that the first emperor severely punish these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, exterminate their families, and include their property in the treasury to fund the development of foreign trade.

The whole country is so dragnet to investigate, I'm a good girl! Where are the poor officials? It is clear that only the government is poor, and there is not much poverty in the treasury, the people are rich, and the officials can also be called rich, but the people are rich, and the official wealth is not very common, and the officials are not rich!

Just copying the officials' family wealth reached hundreds of millions of taels of gold, which was enough to support the start-up capital of the entire business development. The vigorous development of foreign trade in the Great Qin Empire officially kicked off with state funding.

While training the first batch of trainees of the "Business Elite and Great Qin Spy", Yun Xiaoshui also set out to start his own business war with an unknown opponent.

"Young Master! It's a bit strange that our business was hacked this time! The head of commerce and trade said to Yun Xiaoshui with a short and light brow.

"Strange? To be more specific, where is the performance? ”

"One is that there are only a few people or organizations who can kill our convoy and don't care about the value of valuable medicinal materials, whether it is military or financial, they should be powerful people or organizations, such as the government, the army, the royal family, the Ba family, etc. But if you think about it, none of these can be enemies of us, because there is no stake between them, and there is only the possibility of win-win cooperation.

The second is that the sword left behind by killing people and burning goods is like a demonstration and intimidation, which seems to tell us that if we don't listen to them or don't meet their wishes, there will be such a interception and killing next time, next time! It's not like a rival in buying and selling, it's like an enemy with a deep hatred! ”

"You're right, Mr. Qi! This is both a business war and a vendetta, and it is a revenge seeking in a different way! The reason why this is so is because they can't do it openly, but they can't assassinate me directly, and they can't do it, what should I do? He hated me and couldn't help me, so he had to kill my subordinates from behind and from the side, cut off my financial route, and then hurt me, trying to make me suffer a mental blow in panic, worry, sorrow, and pain, and finally make me schizophrenic and nervous! Isn't that whimsical?

Gu Yang, you take people to keep an eye on all the transport teams of goods entering and leaving the Ba family, do not alarm, do not disturb, and do not intercept, just find out, see what kind of goods they are, and see if the road is smooth! ”

Gu Yang took the order and left, and Yun Xiaoshui asked Jingda to transport the goods of the southeast waterway team, and the dark team protected it, that is to say, the first team protected the medicine, and the second team protected the people.

Soon, there was news from Gu Yang and Jingda on both sides of their responsibility. Gu Yang discovered a secret of the Ba family's transportation of dansha that stunned Yun Xiaoshui.
