Chapter 270: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

"Little boy, it is possible to make money for the time being when the two places carry out trade, but after a long time, the competition will gradually increase, the price of mutton will decrease in Daqin, and the price of grain will also decrease on the Xiongnu side, so won't everyone still be able to make money at that time?"

A minister asked suspiciously.

"That's right, whether it is the price of mutton or the price of grain, there will be a day when it will come down, but it means that the demand will increase, and the income will be just as much, and it will also make the people have food and meat!"

When prices fall, people who couldn't afford it before can buy it, which is equivalent to small profits and quick turnover.

The people have food and meat in their hands, how can they still think of rebellion?

"Xiao Gongzi is right, but any rebellion is nothing more than the people are dissatisfied with the current life, as long as we can promote the quality of life of the Xiongnu people, I believe they will definitely keep to themselves!"

Zhang Han, who had just been sealed as the head of the household, stood up and supported Ying Feiyu's opinion.

"The minister also supports the opinion of the little prince, although the people of the grassland are short of food, they have always been able to be self-sufficient, if it is coupled with trade exchanges, presumably life can be good, give up the idea of rebellion!"

Wang Ben, as Xiao Zhengtai's father-in-law, is naturally on his side.

"The minister still thinks that this is too risky, the cattle and sheep in the hands of those herdsmen are limited, and the breeding is too slow, I am afraid it will take a long time to create profits, if they have someone to take the lead in rebellion within this time, it will still be a troublesome matter!"

Kang Anping still advocated killing those Xiongnu people, and it was all in vain, and there would be no future trouble.

"What if there is a way to make those Xiongnu people generate income without selling sheep?"

Xiao Zhengtai blinked and smiled mischievously.

"What? Can you make a profit without selling sheep? How is this possible? Those herdsmen have cattle and sheep, and they don't even have a house, so they are left with a broken tent, so could it be that they will sell their tents? ”

"Pull it down, even if it's a tent, someone has to buy it, we don't need that thing locally!"

"Hmph, even if someone buys it, it won't be able to sell it for a few dollars......!"

Many people in the military generals showed very disdainful expressions, and they didn't look down on those Huns in their hearts.

The reason why the civil officials advocated not killing was not because they had any good feelings for those Huns, but because they were afraid of other countries!

If it weren't for the fear that other countries would unite to find trouble with Great Qin in the future, they would not hesitate to stand on the same front with the generals!

"No, no, no, this method does not touch the roots of those herders, but also allows them to generate additional income, and it is continuous!"

Xiao Zhengtai shook his head and looked very proud.

"Okay, don't sell it to you, kid, what kind of solution is it, hurry up!"

Ying Zheng and the others were really impatient, and said with a tiger face.

"Wool ......!"

Xiao Zhengtai spit out two words leisurely.

"Wool? What does that thing do? ”

Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

Wool is the equivalent of human hair, and it is useless except to maintain the body temperature of the sheep!

"Wool is very useful, after treatment, it can be made into quilts and clothes, and the warmth is very good......

Xiao Zhengtai continued to explain in the shocked expression of everyone, "The water and grass on the grassland are fat, the sheep raised are also fat and strong, and the wool is also long and bright, rather than letting them fall off naturally, it is better to cut them off and sell them in the spring, so as to increase the income of the herdsmen, and also let the sheep spend a cool summer, and then cut a stubble when the autumn comes, so that they can grow out before the cold winter comes, and do not delay the cold!" ”

"The smell of wool is very strong, can you make clothes and quilts? Will anyone buy it? ”

Ying Zheng couldn't help but question.

In this era, the rich people did use fur to protect themselves from the cold in winter, but most of them used foxes, raccoon dogs and other furs, and only the poor would use sheepskin or catkins to do so.

"Father is relieved, the sheared wool is to be processed to ensure that the wool will not leave a little smell, in the process of processing, a large number of workers must be employed, and it has also increased a lot of employment opportunities for the people!"

"Well, if it can really be made into clothes, those Hun people must be vying to sell it! It's just that Daqin has no precedent for using wool to spin, who would want to collect wool? ”

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and at the same time questioned.

Even if wool can create income, who is willing to harvest it, and at what price is the most critical question!

"Needless to say? The idea is from the son-in-law, so it will naturally be collected by the son-in-law, and it will be decided for the time being...... Wuwen bar! ”

Xiao Zhengtai took the initiative to stand up, thought about it a little, and set the price.

"Really? That's what you said! ”

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

I knew that this kid was rich, but I didn't expect to be so rich, and he dared to say that he would buy all the wool on the grassland at a price of five cents per catty!

You know, there are at least a million sheep on the grassland.

"The little boy cares about the people of the world, and it is benevolent and righteous!"

"Yes, if the little boy is willing to buy wool, those herdsmen will definitely be grateful to Dade!"

"Sheep can not only sell meat, but also wool, those herdsmen must be riveted to raise, who has time to rebel?"

"The little boy only used one move to resolve the rebellion of the Hun people, he is really a god!"

……

After being slightly shocked for a moment, the ministers immediately gave Ying Feiyu a thumbs up.

thought that he was sacrificing his own interests and losing money to help the court and stabilize the Xiongnu people!

As everyone knows, once the textile factory is established, its profit is no worse than any business in his hands now!

"In addition to increasing the income of the grassland people and allowing them to make the people of Daqin feel at ease, there is another benefit!"

"And the benefits?"

Ying Zheng was taken aback.

It is not easy to calm the restless hearts of the Xiongnu people in such a simple way, but can you even kill more than one stone?

"That's right, if you want to assimilate those Huns, in addition to mutual trade, the most important thing is to assimilate them, so you need immigrants! But the local people of Great Qin are definitely unwilling to go to that endless grassland, unless it is profitable ......! ”

Xiao Zhengtai walked on his calves, swaying back and forth in the entire hall, attracting everyone's attention, "Wool can be sold for money, not only can it generate income for the Huns, but it will naturally set off a wave of animal husbandry in Daqin itself, and there are fewer pastures in Daqin, and someone will definitely set their eyes on the Huns!" ”

"When the time comes, the emperor will let the local government post announcements, as long as they are willing to go to the Xiongnu to graze, the imperial court will distribute tents and pastures for free, and someone will definitely be willing to go!"

"The people of Daqin and the Huns have lived together for a long time and intermarried with each other, and after a long time, those Huns have been assimilated and completely become the people of my Daqin, and the Xiongnu will truly belong to our Daqin!"
