The eldest grandson Wuji smiled slightly at this time, and then said, "Don't be impatient, you must remember that you are the people of Daqin, and you are a businessman recognized by Your Majesty, and your status is not comparable to before, if this king is not bad, your status may be comparable with the scholars in the near future, but you don't say this, otherwise, Your Majesty will not be ready to do this at that time, don't regret it." ”。

When the businessmen heard this, they swallowed their spit one by one, this is a shocking news, in fact, the eldest grandson Wuji did not guess wrong, Qin Yu really has this plan, but it has not been clearly said, Qin Yu needs to give the people of Great Qin a process of adaptation, of course, Qin Yu wants to improve not only what businessmen, but also the status of workers, in short, Shi Nong and Industry are on an equal footing, of course, above them are the nobles, and below them are those nationalities outside the Great Qin.

And the aristocracy is not something that anyone can be, the aristocracy formulated by Qin Yu is the person who wants to contribute to the Great Qin, there is no hereditary replacement, that is to say, if you want to ensure the inheritance of the nobles, you must contribute to the Great Qin from generation to generation, of course, it will not be directly pushed to the end, but each generation will decrease by one level, if the descendants of a nobleman are wine bags and rice bags, they will eventually break away from the ranks of the nobles.

And these are also Qin Yu's order to ensure that Great Qin is always full of vitality, instead of thinking that he is strong, resting on his laurels, and not thinking of forging ahead, this kind of thinking is unacceptable, unless Qin Yu kills all the people in the world except for the descendants of Yan and Huang, otherwise if the descendants of Yan and Huang want to stand on top of the world forever, they must constantly strengthen themselves and continue to become stronger, in order to ensure their status.

Eldest Sun Wuji is naturally not worried about Qin Yu hearing this, this is not a big secret, after all, Qin Yu also said that he would improve the status of businessmen, but he has not specifically said to what extent, and Eldest Sun Wuji also said a key word, maybe. The treacherous and cunning eldest grandson Wuji naturally wouldn't say anything about packing tickets, but this was not what the businessmen meant when they heard it.

Eldest Sun Wuji glanced at the group of merchants, and then continued, "Your Majesty is the First Emperor of the Ages. Love the people like sons, if you oppress the people and do some illegal things, how can Your Majesty let you go, and will also take back the status given to you, your children, don't want to get ahead in the future, do you understand? ”。

The businessmen nodded involuntarily one by one, their faces were full of cautious expressions, and the eldest grandson Wuji immediately smiled when he saw this. Then he opened his mouth to the butler at the door and ordered, "Bring me the map." ”。

"Yes, sir." The butler hurriedly bowed down in response, and then ran to get the map of Daqin, and returned to the hall not long after. Place the map on the table and spread it out.

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately got up, came to the table, pointed to the very scribbled map of Daqin, and then glanced at the merchants, seeing this, the merchants quickly got up and came to the eldest grandson Wuji one by one. Look towards the map.

Eldest Sun Wuji pointed to the map of Daqin at this time, and then said, "Your Majesty has said that half of the Daqin Highway will be temporarily allocated to you for construction, and now the highway under construction is from Chang'an to Luoyang, and most of it has been completed at this moment." However, the roads between other castles have not yet been built, so there are many places you can choose from, but this king thinks that you should start in Gyeonggi-do. There are many county towns in each county, taking Yongzhou as an example, there are 20 county towns under its jurisdiction, and what you want to build is the road between the county seats. ”。

"If there are people's dwellings or fields on the road, you should compensate the people in full and settle the people properly, which is the most important thing, and do not make the people dissatisfied because of the construction of the road, otherwise you will also be punished."

When the merchants heard this, they nodded very seriously, and then said, "We will settle the people properly, and not make trouble for Your Majesty or the county king." ”。

It can be seen from the strict regulations that they will be raided if they are paid less than a penalty, Qin Yu allows them to do business and give them status, but there is one thing that these merchants cannot touch in any way, that is, the basic interests of the people.

And the eldest grandson Wuji said this, also because the highway under construction from Chang'an to Luoyang also encountered the situation that there were people's houses or fields on the road, and Qin Yu ordered the people below to do so, they need to demolish the people's houses, fully compensate, and need to occupy the people's fields, and also fully compensate, and the eldest grandson Wuji is also learning and using it now.

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "There are many places that need to be built on the Daqin Highway, you calculate the cost required, and then tell this king, this king should also go and tell Your Majesty, where the final price is set, it depends on Your Majesty's intentions, but you don't have to worry, Your Majesty will not make you suffer, but you don't want to be insatiable, otherwise, even if Your Majesty does not punish you, this king will not let you go." ”。

When the businessmen heard this, they hurriedly nodded yes, and then they got together to discuss the price, and they didn't shy away from the eldest grandson Wuji, after a while, a businessman looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and then asked, "The king of the eldest grandson, I want to ask, will the price of the cement needed to build the road change, and whether this cement plant will be built elsewhere?" ”。

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he immediately understood what the merchant was asking, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The price of cement will not change, as for the cement factory, this king will suggest that His Majesty build a few more places, so that it is convenient to build roads." ”。

When the merchant heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "King Changsun Jun, I don't know where the specifications of this highway are, is it built according to the highway from Chang'an to Luoyang, or is it?" ”。

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled slightly, and then said, "The road between the county towns naturally does not need to be built according to the specifications of the Chang'an-Luoyang highway, and it can be three meters on the left and right. ”。

When the merchants heard this, they glanced at each other, and a merchant bowed down and said, "In this way, it will be calculated according to the profit of one zhang and ten wen, I don't know what the king of Changsun Jun thinks?" ”。

The businessman didn't say much about the price, and directly said how much money he earned, which was really a bit unexpected by Changsun Wuji, after being slightly stunned, Changsun Wuji couldn't help frowning, although these businessmen proposed to contract the road, but in the end, there is no spectrum, now such a show, it doesn't seem to be much, but Daqin is not small, if the north and south have to build roads, these businessmen make not a few tens of thousands, let alone tens of thousands, that is tens of millions of dollars.

It's a pity to give so much money to these businessmen in vain, it's better for the imperial court to send people to do these things, but think about it, the imperial court doesn't have so many people to call, if the officials are sent to repair the road, there will definitely be twists and turns in the operation of Daqin, and the money is not taken out all at once, the road repair is not so fast, and in a month, these businessmen get at most a few, dozens of times, thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly calmed down.

After a while, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the merchants and said, "Since you are not willing to raise the price, according to what you said, I will give you ten wen per zhang, and this king will go to tell Your Majesty, and when Your Majesty nods, you can start building roads." ”。

When the merchants heard this, they all bowed down and bowed, "I am grateful to have the king of Lao Changsunjun." ”。

As the eldest grandson Wuji thought, these businessmen really shouldn't make a random price, if they open high, they will lead Qin Yu to be unhappy, and they will lose money if they drive low, after all, no one has ever built a road, and no one knows the cost of it, and finally came up with such a way that is not a way, it looks very little, but Daqin is big enough, and there are many roads to be built, they just need to send people to do these things, and they don't need to make a move, the rest is to wait to collect money, this is a trickle of water, the longer the road is built, the more they earnOf course, none of these businessmen dared to be sloppy in this matter and deal with it or something, unless they were impatient and wanted to go to the West to see the Buddha as soon as possible, in fact, they had not lived enough, so no one dared to come nonsense.

Basically, the behavior of these merchants is equivalent to the managers hired by Great Qin, and those profits are their wages.

Eldest Sun Wuji smiled and nodded, and then said, "Okay, you each choose a road first, and then start preparing for the construction of the road, this king will soon send someone to deliver a message to you, as long as Your Majesty nods, you can start building the road." ”。

"Yes, King of the Eldest Grandson." One by one, the merchants bowed down and began to choose the highway between the counties in Gyeonggi Province.

There are many merchants, although there are not many cities in Gyeonggi-do, but there are many county seats, and when the last merchant takes over the task of construction, it is just over.

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately ordered someone to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and ordered the merchants to sign the contract documents, the price was naturally ten wen per zhang of profit, in duplicate, which section of the road was also recorded, and the monthly imperial court regularly paid them money, etc., the merchants signed, the eldest grandson Wuji had not signed, after all, Qin Yu had not yet nodded, but the eldest grandson Wuji felt that Qin Yu would not object, after all, the price was not very high, of course, compared to the use of slaves to build roads, this price is still expensive.

Who told Qin Yu to prepare to increase some income for the people of Great Qin, this can be regarded as a disguised cash-for-work, the people of Great Qin have money, and their lives will naturally get better and better, that's for sure.

After the butler put away the contract documents one by one, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the merchants, and then said, "In this way, you go home first and wait for the news, and by the way, prepare for the construction of the road." ”。

"Yes, the king of the eldest grandson, I will retire." When the merchants heard this, they hurriedly bowed down one by one, and then left the Changsun Mansion.
