Growing fame Chapter 47 State Monopoly

Jin Feng traveled all the way to the palace hall, and when Jin Feng saw Emperor Jing, the crown prince was showing off the money he earned with Emperor Jing. Yes, Emperor Jing has always been a qualified king and has never done business, but from a small table and chair, Emperor Jing knew Jin Feng's means of collecting money, fortunately, the prince was involved in everything, and he basically didn't have much profit on his own, so there would be no threat.

"The tables and chairs invented by Jin Aiqing are good, and I have also used them, which has really saved a lot of things." "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment, in fact, if you keep kneeling, the harm to the body is not small, the cold on the ground is easy to get cold into the body, and if you kneel, it will have a great impact on the knees." "Teacher, I got more than 100,000 gold, but I earned it alone this time, and my father said that I was stained with your light." "No, without His Highness's signboard, who will buy our things." "That's right, I handed over the money to my father, and I will fight the Huns in the future." "Father doesn't want you so much, leave some to buy something for your mother and sisters, especially your third sister." The third sister of the prince is Nangong, and everyone is decisively silent when she says this.

Emperor Jing spoke first, and when he retired from the eunuchs and palace maids, leaving only three people, Emperor Jing opened his mouth and asked, "What does Aiqing think of Zhou Yafu's visit to the Huns." "Your Majesty according to the route, General Zhou out of the white mountain from east to west, near the border of the Great Wall for one day to two days of activities, from east to west to explore the terrain of the Xiongnu, encounter the Xiongnu, large forces will run, small tribes will be killed, doesn't it say that the Xiongnu come and go without a trace?" It was the same when we killed the Huns, just to be able to restrain the Huns, at least we would not fail, but I don't know how many people we could come back. "Is it possible to go and see the depths of the Huns?" "There is a possibility, but there is a premise that a large number of Xiongnu troops go south to knock on the pass, and the rear is empty, so there is a chance." "The Huns are estimated to go south in half a year, when the autumn is high and cool, and the horses are fat and strong, which is the best time to go south." "So it depends on whether General Zhou can hold people back."

Emperor Jing, who had been silent for a long time, asked, "Is it possible to contact them?" "It's unlikely, but north of Shuofang, General Zhou will stay for a few days and wait for us to make up for it, and then move on the line, which is expected to take three months." "Okay, I'll give you permission to go to the Northlands, provided that you come back after delivering supplies, and you can't go to war." "Wechen obeys the order, and the minister invites the trade of the Northland." "The teacher is going to do business again, what business are we going to do this time?" "Your Majesty, the prince's business this time is too big, I hope it is a state monopoly."

"State monopoly? What do you mean. "The prince also looks like a curious baby." The state monopoly is that the business can only be produced and controlled by the state, such as salt, iron and copper ore and other minerals are controlled by the state, and private individuals are not allowed to mine and sell, and the violators will be punished by the nine tribes, and the smuggling of everyone's border, especially the iron tools, can not flow into the Xiongnu. ”

"This has always been practiced by our big man, it may be that it has been relaxed in the past two years, and some people are going to take risks." "In fact, it is very simple to crack down on them, as long as someone reports it, and it is true after investigation, then the whistleblower gets half of the profit. And you can settle in Chang'an and be protected. "Your idea is still the same as before, but it's really easy to use, and the people's hearts are insufficient."

"What kind of business does Aiqing want this time, and he is going to carry out a state monopoly?" "Wool, Wechen invented a machine that can spin the most worthless wool into clothing, not only waste, but also huge." "Aiqing is really like this." Emperor Jing asked excitedly. Emperor Jing thought about it so and came to a good idea, the Xiongnu went south for money, grain, silk and cloth, if the border trade with the Xiongnu began, the Xiongnu only needed to raise sheep to achieve this purpose, and they could also sell the trade to them and earn the money back.

"Yes, Your Majesty. At the very least, we can get back the horses we need most. "Aiqing, tell me in detail." "This starts in the morning, in the morning Weichen saw a newsboy selling newspapers, and said a news, the Huns' Ikht department is willing to submit to the Han. Weichen asked someone, the Ikht Department was annexed by the Huns, originally the Wuhuan Department, the Huns and Wuhuan fought repeatedly, this Ikht Department is in the middle of the two, and at the same time, the relationship between the Ikht Department and my Han is good, often trade with the Han, and has not attacked the Han. ”

"Yes, yesterday's commendation from the head of the Ikht tribe, Ho Lai, was still thinking about how to reward the Ikht tribe in the morning?" "What are your majesty's plans?" "Just give me some tea, porcelain, silk, and cloth." "Your Majesty, don't you think that the Xiongnu's Shan Yu is a little too little?" "Shan Yu is too little, yes, Ai Qing is reasonable, Shan Yu is indeed too little." The crown prince didn't understand, and asked, "Father, I'm a little confused, what do you mean?" ”

"Che'er, many times you have to think about the problem yourself, you are the crown prince, the prince, and the future emperor of the Han Dynasty, you can't ask your father about everything." "Erchen knows, I understand, what the teacher means is that one mountain does not allow two tigers, as long as their leader is named Shan Yu, no matter what they think, the crime of defecting to the Huns is certain." "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is smart." Emperor Jing is also very happy, the future successor of this empire is indeed qualified.

"Aiqing went on to say that the tribe that sealed the order and bought the wool chose the Ikht tribe, and we used tea, wine, silk, and grain for their wool, and even when the Huns attacked them, they could use weapons, anyway, they couldn't let the Huns destroy Ikht." "Yes, okay." "And what if Ikht rebels?" "It is impossible to let a person who can enjoy it go to the battlefield, as long as the Huns speak Chinese and eat Han food, the Huns standing on the ground are no longer Huns." Emperor Jing chewed these words in his mouth, "The Huns standing on the ground are no longer the Huns, and the Huns standing on the ground are no longer the Huns." ”

"This matter will be handed over to Aiqing to handle, I just ask, Aiqing is very relieved for the country, but I can't give Aiqing any reward at present." "Wechen has always thought that if the money is not enough, the house is not in the big power to live, the country is strong and the people can live well, the country has no country, where can there be a home." Emperor Jing's heart suddenly beat, such a person is a minister, once the country is strong and destroys the Xiongnu, it is estimated that such a person will return to the mountains and forests.

Jin Feng went to the Jianzhang camp again, this time he said that he was an entourage who chose to do business, and there were not many people who were willing, but when he said that he went to the Northland, there were still a lot of people who signed up for other missions, and these people Jin Feng chose 2,000 people, who could be used for the army and business to ensure safety in the frontier.

The next day, Chang'an released a special issue, because the normal newspaper would not publish until three days later. It is now the middle of April, and the crops in the world have been planted, and it is the time to be free, at this time the special issue of Chang'an released a news. Widening the Qin Dynasty's galloping road, from Chang'an through Luoyang and then to Xiangguo to Daijun Road, a total length of about 1,100 kilometers, recruiting 30,000 people, 30 yuan a day, plus a lunch. Those who are willing to continue to build roads at night are paid 40 yuan a night, and dinner and breakfast are included. Now 30 money can buy about 3 buckets of rice, which is 30 catties. For a while, Chang'an City was bustling and shouting, and a large number of merchants saw the news and began to recruit workers to quarry, because stones were used to build roads, and grain merchants prepared a large amount of grain, so for a time there was a labor shortage in Chang'an City.

The integrity of the galloping road in the Qin Dynasty is still very complete, but now it needs to be widened, and it is all a stone road, so the workload is still very large. All the people who were imprisoned by the Han Dynasty took action, and they could have just sent conscripts for this matter, but they didn't expect that now they were spending money to hire people. This is a sign that conscription is slowly becoming abandoned, but nothing can be said at this time. In order to speed up, in Luoyang and Xiangguo, people were hired to go hand in hand. Food money was spent. The officials of the Han Dynasty were not greedy for the inner treasury for a day or two, so they were only willing to bear half of the finances, and the money that had not yet been covered was withdrawn from the inner treasury.

For a time, Dahan had the momentum of national construction in later generations. Although the end of the road is close to Shanggu County and Yuyang, but after being beaten for so many years, it is indeed very damaged, Jin Feng knows that the focus of the attack in Yizhi Xian Danyu is on Wuyuan County and Shuofang County Shangjun, otherwise there will be no later Xiongnu soldiers surrounding Tangquan Palace.
