Chapter 446 [Great Qin Times II]
Ying Quliang coughed and said with some embarrassment: "Fourth brother doesn't have to be angry. Lao Qin has always attached great importance to private property, even if he is a widow and the government, he cannot deprive civilians of their property at will, and Zuo Shuchang is also worried about state affairs. ”
"Today, it is Si'er who came to greet me, the teacher, Bai Dong is the second brother in front of him, not the monarch, so I will say it bluntly, Zuo Shuchang is naturally worried about state affairs, but Fang Cai's words are the intention of the Legalist family! Zuo Shuchang is the minister of law change, and he is also an important figure in the legislative office, if there is only the monarchy in his mind but there is no private property in the world, it will be very dangerous! Second brother, 'water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat', this truth must be observed. ”
"Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat, so it's a good saying! Ping An Lang, keep talking, second brother, I'm listening. ”
"Don't dare to ask the second brother to listen, otherwise wouldn't the brother be guilty? The younger brother just hopes that Zuo Shuchang can understand that he needs to know that the people are rich and the country is strong! Those who are businessmen, the people, are people who seek the country with real old men, and they must not take profits from the people, but should only benefit with the people! The Bai family trading company is rich, the Du family trading company is rich, and the Gan family trading company is also rich, but the country has no money, so do you want these people to pay? But this is not the way of good continuation."
"Oh?" Ying Quliang looked at Bai Dong, Ping An Lang said these words to Wei Ying, why didn't he let him hear it? This time, he and Wei Ying had already calculated that if the Bai, Du, and Gan families each came up with some money, Lao Qin would be able to solve the consumption of an average increase of more than 100,000 troops, and it would not affect the development of the Qin State; Now it seems that Heian Lang seems to be a little reluctant? It's really strange, Ping An Lang has always been generous, but now why did he go to Luoyi and become stingy, could it be that his hometown is not as important as Luoyi?
But he didn't know that Bai Dong was generous to Qin Guo before. That's because the Qin State is weak and in ruins. As a citizen of Qin, he is also his good brother. Naturally, it does not account for personal gains and losses; Now that the foreign resistance is strong Wei, Xixing Xinjiang, the world of commerce, and the king of Zhou, the Qin State has begun to show the image of a strong country, and there should be a rule at this time to be good and long-lasting; In fact, Yingquliang and Wei Ying should understand this truth, but the Qin State has been too smooth recently, and a generation of Ming monarchs like Yingquliang can't help but have a quick heart, and Wei Ying is the representative of the pre-Qin Legalists, who only has the monarchy in his eyes, but he will not take into account any personal private property and personal interests.
This is the difference between Bai Dong and the Legalists of the pre-Qin era. Now that the general trend of Xijun Baizi is gradually becoming a reality, he must let the Qin State go to the road of good law and good law from the beginning, just like the Roman law that has influenced the later generations for two thousand years; Wei Ying's talent is naturally to be used, but the more talented people are, the more they have to beat, otherwise it will be more terrible than mediocre talents to start the country by mistake!
"But Commander Zuo is right to drill the new army, how can 150,000 people be counted? I don't think 300,000 is too much; Lao Qin has the danger of Hangu, and he does not set up four dangerous places, but how can he not be able to do it and be severely suppressed by the countries of Shandong? Lao Qin can not use force to hegemon, but he cannot do without force. You can do without soldiers, but you can't do without heroes! Now there is no shortage of food in Lao Qin. It's just that there is a lack of copper and iron, and the Bai family naturally can't sit idly by."
"Haha, the widow knows that you must have a way, the fourth"
Hearing Bai Dong say this, Yingqu Liang unconsciously felt relieved, his fourth brother is a knife mouth tofu heart, and he still won't stand by after talking for a long time, his wife is not wrong, Ping An Lang values love and righteousness, and is a real good brother who talks about righteousness.
The ministers in the tent were also looking at Bai Dong, although Wei Ying was ecstatic, Gan Long, Du Zhi and the others frowned slightly. It's not that the Gan family and the Du family are worried about money, but that Wei Ying's pace has become faster and faster since the second change, and his means have gradually become more and more impatient. Lao Ganlong scoffed at this, as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, did he want to take back Hexi? But Lao Qin has only lived a few good days, and Wei Ying thought about using troops, but he completely ignored the good situation created by Bai Dongkeng's removal of Pang Juan and the secret alliance with Wei Shen Huishi. It's just to prove the effect of changing the law in order to go down in history, you Wei Ying don't want to think that if it weren't for the efforts of the Bai family, the Gan family, and the Du family, just relying on your law change regulations would make Lao Qin Tuqiang in three or two years?
I thought that Bai Dong would teach Wei Ying a hard lesson this time and make Jun Shang vigilant, but judging by what he meant, he was still boosting Wei Ying's arrogance, what could it be like this?
"Second brother, don't thank me first, ask me to help Zuo Shuchang, but I have two conditions, if the second brother refuses to agree, forget the first, I have a way to help the government solve the military resources needed, but the second brother wants to promise me, Lao Qin is not allowed to use troops outside the country within five years unless he is forced to do so, of course, if there is a need to use troops west of Zhoushan, it will naturally be solved by me, which is the responsibility of the 'Xijun'."
"Xijun, Lao Qin's training of the new army is to recover Hexi and restore the ancestral industry of Mugong, and he can't use troops within five years, why should I drill hundreds of thousands of troops, is it that Lao Qin's money is so much that he can't use it?"
"If you go to the army to fight, the middle soldier uses might, and the army seeks war, who said that if you take back Hexi, you must start a war? The strength of the Wei State was recorded for decades, and Zuo Shu Chang thought that with more than 100,000 troops, he could win in one battle? Then you can't help but look down on Wei Guowenhou, Wuhou and Wu Qi's decades of business! Lao Qin does not seek war, but he is not afraid of war, there are male soldiers, but he will not move troops, this is the image of the overlord of the world! ”
Yingqu Liang nodded: "The fourth child always has amazing words and is never false, few people believe you, within five years, the Qin State will not take the initiative to use troops abroad!" I wonder what the second condition is? ”
Lao Ganlong also looked at Bai Dong with a smile, an old minister like him has always been cautious, and what he values is to maintain ~ stabilize the overall situation, even if he wants to change the law and fight for hegemony, he must try to avoid risks, Bai Dong asked Lao Qin not to take the initiative to use troops externally within five years, this is the embodiment of the good continuation of the old man to seek the country, which is too much to his appetite. Now Lao Ganlong likes Bai Dong more and more, when he sent the word 'Zhuguo' to him, he didn't expect that it was only three or four years, and the kid who made good use of 'Miracle Skills ~ Yinqiao' really became a minister of Zhuguo! It's a pity that the Gan family is not prosperous, and he didn't even give birth to a daughter, otherwise he must give it to this kid as a wife, regardless of the fact that he already has two wives at home, and there is a princess of Qin who often wields a leather whip to look at Lao Qin
"The second condition is actually a solution to this matter, this time the Bai family trading company will not pay money, but ask the king to borrow money, but not to borrow from me, and don't go to the Bai family trading company, the Bai family will build a place called 'money bank', and do nothing else, that is, to borrow money from people, borrowed by the government, borrowed by aristocratic merchants, and ordinary Li people can also borrow if they have needs, as long as they pay low money interest!"
"Money?"
Yingquliang frowned slightly, although there was no bank in the pre-Qin period, there was no shortage of commercial loans, and naturally there were precedents for calculating money and interest, but most of this kind of thing happened between nobles or trading companies with excellent friendships, so as to ensure the recovery of capital and profits; But I've never heard of anyone who specializes in 'borrowing money' and gives whoever lends it? Even if you can make some profits, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to recover a lot of money you have lent, and you will lose money as a result? If other countries did this, he would naturally welcome it with both hands, saying that it would be better to borrow some first, but now it is Bai Dong who wants to do it, and if the money of the Bai family trading company is cheated, he will feel distressed
Hearing that Bai Dong was going to open a business that specialized in lending money to people, this time not only Yingquliang was beating a drum in his heart, but the ministers in the account all shook their heads, feeling that Bai Dong was too rich and his head was burned out; Only Du Zhi looked at Bai Dong thoughtfully, this principle of 'money makes money' Bai Dong told him, he is also a person in arithmetic, so he naturally has more understanding
"Yes, it's money. Second brother, whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster, war or war, the money bank will provide a certain amount of interest-free loans to the government, and only a small amount of money interest will be required if the amount is exceeded. ”
"Fourth, aren't you joking? But what are the conditions? ”
If you borrow money to someone and don't want interest on money, there are still such good things in the world? Ying Quliang was happy to hear this, although he had to repay the borrowed money, but the amount could be large or small, and he, the monarch, no longer had to be cheeky to ask this kid for cheap, wonderful, this is wonderful!
"The conditions can't be discussed, the younger brother will return to Qin this time, the first is to establish a money bank, and the second is to establish a newspaper called "Daqin Times". At that time, I only ask the second brother to draw up a king's book, and the "Daqin Times" will report on current affairs and produce articles in the future, as long as it is not against the principles of heaven and the people's hearts, the government will not be allowed to intervene."
What is a few pennies worth a profit? Freedom of speech ~ can not be bought by any amount of money, in the pre-Qin era, hundreds of schools of thought contended, open speech, but it is not without restrictions, once there is a more influential 'media' will inevitably attract the dissatisfaction of the government, Bai Dong wants to say in front, if Yingquliang refuses to agree, this newspaper might as well not do it.
"Newspapers?"
The ministers in the tent are stupid, paper is paper, why is it still called a newspaper? This white man always likes to make strange things, which people love and hate (to be continued......
