And King Qin shook his head with a wry smile, walked up to Jing Yu and said, "This fierce open fire thing is quite unique, I can't imagine that the fusion of all things in the world into one has such an effect. ”

"But this 'gunpowder' didn't cause much damage, although the amount of fire was concentrated, if it was applied to the Qin army, I am afraid that the effect would be very limited..."

Ying Jingyu smiled after hearing this: "Father also knows that a small amount of gunpowder can produce such a large amount of energy, what if these gunpowder are wrapped in a sealed container and ignited?" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only King Qin, but also all the palace guards around him looked shocked at the same time!

That's right, if the gunpowder that releases a huge amount of energy so quickly is squeezed in a container, the instant explosive impact will be generated...

After hearing this, King Qin suddenly realized: "This father has not thought of it, and he can't imagine that Yu'er even has this layer." If this is the case, then the power of this gunpowder will be greatly increased! ”

Ying Jingyu nodded: "Not only that, gunpowder can also be combined with various utensils to create various firearms, so it will produce more powerful power." Gunpowder can also blow up mountains and mine, and it will have endless benefits for civil engineering and civil applications..."

"Yu'er, does this count as the 'way of science' you said a few days ago?"

"Yes, father, understand the principle of all things, transform all things, think that I will use them for the benefit of future generations, this is 'science'."

After hearing this, Qin Wang Yingziying finally nodded in agreement. I had some doubts about Ying Jingyu's whimsy before, but seeing is believing, if I continue to be ignorant, I am afraid it will attract jokes

Ying Jingyu continued: "I asked my father to see the power of this gunpowder, I want to set up the 'Gunpowder Division' and the 'Stone Ore Division' as soon as possible, for the rapid development of Daqin, we need more ores and gunpowder of various raw materials. ”

King Qin smiled helplessly: "Alas... Being a father is not a stubborn person, but the treasury is limited... The widows have ordered the 'Qin Blade Martial Workshop' to manufacture a large number of various blades. According to yesterday's report, the Wufang Division has also opened the manufacture of many new heavy weapons..."

"And if the three divisions are opened, I am afraid that the treasury will be exhausted soon, then how can my Qin State have the money to support a long-term war by then?"

"My father wants to open the 'Science Division' and the 'Stone Mining Division' after retreating to the Six Kingdoms, and it would be better to open them after the Great Qin is stabilized, so as to reduce the current pressure on the imperial treasury."

Ying Jingyu's heart was a little cold after hearing this, but after thinking about it, maybe this was not the case.

If many divisions are opened at the same time, the situation is like a mess, so it makes people helpless

It's a good piece of meat, but I can't eat it now...

Jing Yu said: "Father, things are not dead. The matter of the treasury can be solved. ”

"Oh? Each of them costs a lot of manpower and resources, what is Yu'er's magic method? ”

"Father, if the three divisions are opened together, not only can they absorb talents, but they can also transport wealth to our court through operation, at least they will not lose the battle because of money!"

Qin III was a little puzzled, for the wealth in the hands of those merchants, if he didn't use strong means, was there a way for them to obediently take out the money?

King Qin said: "Yu'er and Wei's father talk, if it is feasible, it can also be used as a new national policy." ”

Ying Jingyu looked up at the sky and pondered for a while, then took a deep breath and said, "In the future, there are many other divisions that I need to open in Daqin, and these three divisions are just what I need for now. The ultimate purpose of each division is to increase productivity and increase the wealth of the state and the imperial court. ”

"Therefore, in the long run, each division is a future money-making machine, and the opening of each division can also absorb more idle talents in the world, and the imperial court will pay the common people monthly salaries according to their work, and completely abolish the conscription system."

King Qin was taken aback: "What? Abolition of conscription? ”

"Yes, father, if you cancel the conscription system, you can summon Guanzhong now, and you can win the hearts of the people as soon as possible and save a lot of trouble."

King Qin paced back and forth for a while, shook his head and said, "Yu'er, if the conscription is abolished, then who will still work for my Great Qin in the future, and who will complete many engineering matters?" ”

Ying Jingyu said with a straight face: "If there was a shortage of assets in the world in the past, there was indeed no better way. ”

"But my father, please believe that if basic science and technology manufacturing can be applied to civil business, it will produce a lot of wealth, and the court will also have enough resources to pay the people for the month, and the people can be grateful to the court for their labor, and they are eager to serve the court, why not?"

King Qin was a little displeased and said: "Let's discuss this matter later, the divisions have not yet been opened, and the widows and ministers have not seen any results, which is not enough to convince everyone." ”

Ying Jingyu sighed in his heart, or his vision was too long-term, so long that others couldn't imagine it at all

Jing Yu said: "Yes, father! However, to solve the problem of money, Erchen does have a feasible way. ”

"Tell me about it."

"Father, the wealth of Guanzhong is mainly concentrated in the hands of merchants and nobles, as long as it can publicize the benefits of forming various divisions and the huge benefits in the future. Then the king decree issued a pass, so that those businessmen and nobles can invest in the opening of various divisions in advance, businessmen can occupy a part of the shares, if the future of the divisions have interest output, those businessmen who invested in the divisions earlier can get part of the dividends. ”

King Qin was shocked again: "This... Involve businessmen in politics? Yu'er, how could you have such an idea? ”

The corners of Jing Yu's mouth rose: "No, although the opening of various divisions is dominated by the investment of the imperial court, the decision-making power also lies with the imperial court. If a certain division is opened, 100,000 yuan is needed in the early stage, and the imperial court can take out 30,000 yuan, and the other 70,000 yuan can be used to publicize the future income of the division, so that all businessmen can invest money in the department, and the maximum amount shall not exceed 30,000 yuan. ”

"Except for the imperial court as the biggest investor, the others are many large and small businessmen who invest money to build a company. No businessman can exceed the proportion of investment in the imperial court, so the imperial court still occupies the absolute right to speak in the department. ”

"Does Father understand?"

King Qin pondered for a moment with his hands behind his back, looked up at Ying Jingyu's confident eyes, and didn't know what to say for a while

King Qin said: "Such a wonderful strategy has never been done before. I am worried about my father, once this wind opens, it will be a disguised power to the merchants, and I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of my temple in the future..."

Ying Jingyu defended: "Father, rest assured, as long as the law is strict, it is stipulated that businessmen are not allowed to engage in politics. Then these merchants can only be a sword in my temple. ”

"Tingwei once said that businessmen have no home and country, but only interests. But if the merchant is tied to my Great Qin's chariot, Great Qin will prosper, and the merchant will benefit. Great Qin is weak, and merchants are declining. Then will they not support my court for the sake of profit? ”

The third son of Qin suddenly realized: "Yu'er's words, the widow suddenly opened. If a merchant invests his assets in the various divisions set up by the imperial court, it may be as Yu'er said. ”

Ying Jingyu saw that King Qin was finally a little relieved, and took advantage of the situation and said: "Opening various divisions can not only reduce the consumption of the treasury. Erchen also has a plan, which can make the rich people in Guanzhong voluntarily take money to the imperial court, so that the treasury can be filled several times or even ten times! ”

King Qin hadn't come out of the shock just now, and he didn't expect this good son to come with another thunderbolt

After hearing this, King Qin was very interested and said, "There is such a scheme in the world? Yu'er hurry up and see if it can be done. ”

Ying Jingyu smiled, his eyes shining, and said: "Father, this method is most suitable for my current situation in Qin, and in the future, this method can also solve the problem of tight treasury." ”

"The law of Yu is very simple, that is, the imperial court borrows the wealth of rich merchants."

"What? Borrowing from a wealthy businessman? How to borrow? Yu'er wouldn't want to use her power to grab a rich businessman, this is absolutely unacceptable. ”

Ying Jingyu: "If you grab wealth, the court will lose its trust to the people, this is the next policy." ”

"That's... What does Yu'er mean? ”

"Father, the court borrowed money from the rich so that they would willingly hand over their wealth to the court."

Ying Jingyu paused and continued: "The imperial court can issue a note to every rich person who is willing to borrow money, and this note can only be printed and distributed by the imperial court, and the people cannot copy it as fake and true. ”

King Qin was puzzled: "Yu'er means that no matter how much you borrow, you will return how much you will give to the rich merchant after the treasury recovers." But in the current situation, how can a wealthy businessman be willing to lend money to the imperial court? ”

Ying Jingyu said: "Of course, it is to give a certain amount of interest to the rich. ”

"What is interest?"

"Suppose a rich man lends 10,000 yuan to the court for two years, and after two years the rich man returns it to the court with a written note, the court pays the merchant 11,000 yuan. And the extra thousand dollars is the interest paid to the merchants. ”

Qin Ziying seemed to have received a bit of information today, and he was stunned, so he rubbed his temples with his hands and said, "This method can indeed increase the treasury resources in a short time. ”

"But the annual tax amount of the national treasury is almost fixed, and if the money borrowed for a while has to pay interest, then the future will not be poor My court's policy?"
