Chapter 14 Eliminate the accumulated evils

This heat only lasted for a very short time, and then a group of businessmen shook their heads with a look of regret.

"Are you thinking that these four straights are so huge that you can't eat them, right?" Qin Yiren looked at their regretful look in his eyes and said with a smile.

Qin Yiren was right, they just felt sorry for it. These four straight roads are thousands of miles long, and the vastness of their projects can be imagined, even the five major businessmen in the world, such as Mrs. Qing, Yidun's, Bai's, Zhuo's and Tian's, also feel very difficult.

Obviously there is a chance to make a lot of money, but because of his own strength, he can't make money, who can not regret it?

"I give you a suggestion, if you can't eat a family, you can count them, or even a dozen, dozens, or hundreds of years of families to unite and make a fortune together." Qin Yiren had thought about this a long time ago, and thought of a good idea for them.

"Joint?" An exclamation sounded, and the look of regret on the faces of these merchants disappeared, replaced by excitement.

If you really want to take these four straights, they will make a lot of money and make a fortune, who can not be happy? Even if you get a piece of the pie, it's a huge profit.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the businessmen thanked them in unison.

Qin Yiren's proposal was a good way to solve their immediate predicament, and everyone had to be convinced.

"Your Majesty, if you give me these four straight paths to repair, then what will Daqin do?" Qi Di Tian came up with a talent like Tian Dan, whose vision was extraordinary, and immediately asked a very important question.

The eyes of the businessmen stared at Qin Yiren, and they pricked up their ears, for fear of missing a detail.

"You asked a very good question. It is also your biggest concern. Right? You are worried that Great Qin is using you. and even took away your wealth. Qin Yiren waved his right hand and said very magnificently: "You can rest assured, Great Qin will never do such a thing." Daqin handed over these huge projects to you to repair, and Daqin only needed to do three things: put forward requirements, supervise, and accept. ”

To make a request, in modern terms, is to put forward a standard, and these businessmen have to fix it according to the official requirements, which is a must.

Supervision. Not to mention, if it is not regulated, these mercenary businessmen are not shoddy? Don't cut corners yet? If that's the case, then the straight is of inferior quality.

Acceptance is also inevitable. The quality of the straights repaired by these merchants depends on the acceptance.

"Good!" The three points mentioned by Qin Yiren are natural and righteous, and they are not too much at all, and the businessmen can accept them, and they are all good.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case. We are willing to practice the straight path. The merchants were so excited that they shouted in unison. It thundered.

"Very good! Very good! Qin Yiren bowed slightly, this is what he wants.

If the law is not changed, the people of the country will suffer enough, and will even force people to rebel, and the law will have to be changed. However, after the revision of the forced labor law, the Qin Dynasty lost a lot of people, and those projects that had to be repaired were difficult to repair, which was very difficult.

Qin Yiren thought about it, and then he thought of Shang Jia and could cooperate with them.

Businessmen are mercenary and full of copper smell, but they are not useless, and if they are used well, they can play an unexpected role, just like Adam, the founder of modern economics? As Smith put it, it was an "invisible hand" that dominated.

In modern society, businessmen can participate in defense advice, and there is nothing wrong with that, it only needs to be regulated.

By cooperating with merchants, you can not only build a straight road, but also not disturb the people, which is the way to both worlds.

At the same time, it is also possible to develop business. In the era of the Warring States Period, the Qin State suppressed commerce, which was not wrong, because the mobility of merchants was too large, and it was not easy to cultivate "patriotic enthusiasm", and it was inevitable to suppress commerce and reward farming.

Now, the world is unified, and no matter how mobile the merchants are, they also flow within the territory of the Qin Dynasty, so they no longer have to worry about not being able to compensate for their "patriotic enthusiasm", because he is a Chinese person, and loving Huaxia is an inevitable outcome.

Therefore, the development of business has become inevitable. Only in this way can we circulate goods and foreign exchange, sell goods and markets, promote economic development, and enable the people of the country to have more abundant materials and live a better life.

It can be said that Qin Yiren's hand is counted in one fell swoop.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know what Great Qin wants?" The Idon asked.

This question is unclear, it is difficult to determine whether it is the next straight, and the merchants stretched their necks one by one.

Qin Yiren did not speak, but nodded at Cai Ze, who immediately ordered some officials to bring some parchment, on which were written the requirements of the Qin State, one for each person, and let them pass it on.

These requirements are clearly written, although they are very demanding, almost harsh, but they are not impossible to do, and they can still be accepted, and the businessmen are even more happy.

"Can you do that?" Qin Yiren glanced at the group of businessmen and asked.

"Yes!" The businessmen were full of confidence.

"How do you do it, Daqin doesn't interfere, if you have good skills, you might as well use them. As long as you meet the requirements of Great Qin. "Qin Yiren knows that the wisdom of the people is infinite, as long as they are given the opportunity, they can promote the development of technology, of course, they will not be very rigid.

"Great." This gave the merchants freedom, as long as they met the requirements, as for what kind of technology to use, the Qin Dynasty would not intervene, and they could play freely.

The next thing is that these businessmen are looking for someone to work with, which will take some time. It took only three days for these businessmen to unite and make an offer to the official and propose a plan.

Qin Yiren ordered people to screen and select the businessmen with the best plan and the most suitable price.

This is equivalent to a modern "tender", but it is not explicitly stated.

After fierce competition, Mrs. Qing got the straight road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan, the Yidun clan got the straight road from Jiuyuan to Changsha, the Tian family got the straight road from Linzi to Jiuyuan, and the Bai family and the Zhuo family united to get the straight road from Xianyang to Linzi. Of course, it is difficult to do it with their financial resources alone, they have united a lot of businessmen, as for how to divide it, it is their own business, Qin Yiren does not care.

The merchant who failed to participate in the four straights was greatly disappointed, and the opportunity to make a lot of money was lost. Who can not be lost? Qin Yiren told them again. Don't be disappointed. Because the Qin Dynasty also had to build water conservancy, there were many water conservancy projects, and they could also participate, so these businessmen were very happy.

It can be said that this time the affairs are all happy.

After signing an agreement with the government, the merchants rushed back happily. I'm ready to build a straight.

As officials from all over the country rushed back from Xianyang, a vigorous campaign to eliminate accumulated malpractices began.

In Shangcai, Chu State, a remote village was crowded with people, including the villagers of this village, the common people from other villages, and the officials from the county government.

The reason why they are gathered here is because they are going to do something very meaningful today, to destroy the pass of this village.

The passes of this village are impressive, because there are as many as five passes in this village, which has a population of only 200.

This village was owned by five retainers of a family in the Chu State, each of whom had a certain fief. There is a certain number of mouths. Originally, it was a village, even if it was divided into five retainers. You don't need to build a pass, do you?

The problem is that these five retainers are fighting openly and secretly, and in order to ask for credit in front of their masters, they fight to the death, and no one will let anyone. In the end, they fell out all at once, and simply built a pass, and divided the village into five parts, and it was very inconvenient to communicate with each other.

This is quite similar to Lao Tzu's advocacy of "the voice of chickens and dogs is heard, and old and dead do not get along". But there is no harmony advocated by Lao Tzu, but there is a lot of bitterness and blood and tears.

The families of the villagers in this village belong to different retainers. The husband is owned by one retainer and the wife is owned by another, and whose children should their children belong to?

One more person will give one more income, and the retainers will let no one and fight. Their fight, the unlucky ones are these innocent villagers, today this retainer comes to collect taxes, tomorrow the retainer comes to collect again, the day after tomorrow the two of them come up together, he collects more, I collect less, you have to make up for the missing part.

In such a toss, the villagers of this village are miserable and living in dire straits. Some villagers could not bear the hardships and cut themselves off.

"According to the Qin law, abolish the pass!" The county magistrate raised his throat and yelled.

"Waste Pass!" The villagers erupted in cheers, and everyone stepped forward with their tools in a mission to destroy the barriers.

Over the years, they have suffered a lot from these passes, and they have all used their strength to eat, and it didn't take long for these passes to be overturned.

"Long live Great Qin!" The villagers waved their arms, shook their fists, and shouted loudly, venting their excitement.

"Woo!" Some villagers were so excited that they cried.

In the land of Jiangdong, the children of the Xiang family were all depressed, and under the escort of the Qin army, they left their hometown and rushed to Guanzhong.

Qin Yiren decided to eradicate the remnants of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and wanted to move these people to Guanzhong to take care of them, and the Xiang family, as the great family of the Chu State, of course, could not be an exception, and had to go to Guanzhong.

As a great family of the Chu State, the Xiang family is deeply rooted in Jiangdong, and they are used to being powerful and blessed, and they are as depressed as they are today, like a defeated rooster, and it is the first time that they have encountered it, which has attracted the surprise of the people of Jiangdong.

"Look, look, the Xiang family also has today!"

"The Xiang family is a tyrant in Jiangdong, they are powerful, plundering people's land, taking people's wives and daughters, and there are many people who have died because of them, and they should have been eradicated a long time ago. Poor King Chu is incompetent, not only can he not eradicate them, but he has to appease them, as if they have not done enough evil. ”

"Or is Daqin powerful, as soon as Daqin Ruishi arrives, isn't the Xiang family bowing down? Daqin wants them to go east, but they don't dare to go west! ”

"You pariahs, you don't know the kindness of the general. The general fought to the death for the sake of Great Chu and the Qin State, and died on the battlefield, you should be grateful to Dade. A Xiang disciple really couldn't listen to it anymore, and yelled at the onlookers.

"Whew!"

"You're embarrassed to say that. The general is a character, but is he really wholeheartedly for Da Chu? He wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, he wanted the Xiang family to have more land, and he wanted your Xiang family to be more ruthless. He died well! ”

However, a contradictory remark provoked a lot of applause.

"Kill him! Shoot him! The more excited people picked up the stones on the ground and smashed them with their heads.

Xiang Yan is a character, but if he succeeds, the Xiang family's power will be even greater, the Xiang family's power will become even stronger, and the life of the common people and slaves will be even more sad.

This is the national condition of the Chu State, who can not hate Xiang Yan? (To be continued......)
