Chapter 580

Qin Xi only stayed in the mountains for two or three days before leaving.

Although Qin Xi was said to be the senior brother of the Sword Sect, Nie Li did not intend to let Qin Xi participate in the sect's ceremony.

First, because of Qin Xi's identity, it is not good to participate in the Jianghu sect.

The second is because Qin Xi is smiling and distraught, and there are already signs of going mad. Qin Xi urgently needed someone to be quiet, not busy with the Sword Sect.

After Qin Xi said goodbye to the mountain, he rode his horse south.

Qin Xi is not without a purpose, Qin Xi chooses to go south, that is, he has a purpose to go south.

Tungsten, a metal, was actually the largest in Hunan and Jiangxi in later generations, so Qin Xi planned to go to these two places to meditate and mine at the same time.

After Qin Xi completely lost his news, the First Emperor could only pinch his forehead and hide the matter, saying that Qin Xi was studying something and needed to retreat.

After all, if this matter is not concealed, the court of Great Qin will be in chaos, and several princes will probably have something to think about.

However, Qin Xi's departure did not have much impact on Daqin's government affairs, because during this time, Qin Xi had not dealt with government affairs much.

After the Great Qin unified the grasslands, they began to build cities on the grasslands, and at the same time encouraged the Central Plains people to migrate to the grasslands to graze sheep.

As long as you are willing to go, you can pay no tax within a year, and you can also get a thousand acres of grassland and more than 500 sheep. But the fields cannot be cultivated on the grassland, only grazing.

Nowadays, Daqin's demand for wool and mutton is still very huge, so there are still people who are willing to go to the grassland.

As for the grassland peoples, Daqin dispersed them and distributed them to the territory of Daqin

Various places.

In order to prevent these people from starving to death, Daqin will also let people teach them to farm, as long as they don't commit crimes, in addition to everything according to the treatment of the people of Daqin, they can also be tax-free for one year, or even two years.

With the movement of population, Daqin's commerce also developed again.

Especially in the southern region, the economy has exploded.

In the area on both sides of the Yangtze River, after a series of previous developments, the grain output surpassed that of Bashu and became the largest granary of Daqin.

Nowadays, in addition to the fact that the money and silver in the treasury of Daqin are a little shy, Daqin's granary has not even been greatly reduced because of the unification of the grassland, but has to build a new granary to store so much grain now.

The result of the explosion of grain warehouses is that grain prices have plummeted, resulting in countless grain merchants on the verge of bankruptcy.

At this time, Xiao He's talent was revealed, and after Xiao He persuaded the first emperor, he began to buy a large amount of grain to fill the newly built granary.

Xiao He has always implemented a sentence in his heart, that is, the more grain in Daqin's hands, the more stable Daqin's world can be, that is, food security in later generations is equal to the concept of national security.

In fact, Daqin helped these grain merchants to stabilize their own taxes, after all, as long as these merchants lived, they had to pay business taxes.

If Qin Xi is here, he will definitely take the opportunity to establish a large grain chamber of commerce under the control of Great Qin, and it will be much easier to control the price of grain in the future.

Of course, although Qin Xi didn't know where he went, he still paid attention to the affairs of his family and country, and would always send his letters to the First Emperor through the secret guard.

But the First Emperor turned his head and wanted to lean into the dark

When Wei was looking for Qin Xi, he couldn't find Qin Xi's shadow.

Therefore, two months later, the Daqin Grain Chamber of Commerce led by Daqin was established.

This chamber of commerce, completely dominated by the Great Qin court and based on the peasants, is the second granary of the Great Qin.

The establishment of the Daqin Grain Chamber of Commerce also means that the Daqin Emperor does not need to issue an edict to stipulate the price of grain.

There are two advantages to this, one is that the emperor will not be allowed to waver in the price of food, and the final price set can only feed some people, but some people will starve to death.

One is that Daqin can completely control the initiative in the entire territory of Daqin, and any grain merchant must think of the Daqin Grain Chamber of Commerce when doing business, otherwise he will not be able to do grain business at all.

At the same time, a discussion about the Northeast region was also held at the imperial court.

Qin Xi just wrote in the letter that the plains in the northeast region could be used as the third largest granary of Great Qin, which immediately made the imperial court talk about it.

In this era, everyone's image of the Northeast region is that the climate is cold, the primitive zone, and even the grassland peoples would rather stay in the grassland than go there.

Therefore, there were two voices in the imperial court, one was for Qin Xi's support, and the other was for opposition, believing that this was just a waste of Great Qin's resources.

Although it is said that the development of the Prince Changhe region has indeed created a huge granary for Daqin, it is impossible for the Prince to be right.

Moreover, now that Daqin's grain is already in surplus, there is no need to develop a place where there are unknowns, it is completely meaningless.

At this time, the farmer's official stood up and said that the farmer was willing to serve Daqin

Go to the Northeast to build a granary.

Qin Xi once mentioned to the peasant family that when the grain of Great Qin was too much to eat for hundreds of years, the people would no longer have to pay grain taxes.

This is not only Qin Xi's hope, but also the wish of the peasant family, so hundreds of peasant families do not hesitate to bury their bones elsewhere to bring back potatoes and corn.

When the hundred officials were arguing endlessly, in the end, the first emperor made a decision, and the peasants took the vanguard to go to the northeast to open up the wasteland, and if the results were significant, more people would be sent over.

Obviously, this is a satisfactory result for everyone, and as long as it is not a big move, the opposition will have to take a step back.

After the discussion of this matter was over, the First Emperor suddenly ordered that all the ministers should be given a higher salary, but in the future, all the money will be distributed in silver, and the grain will not be disproportionate.

The reason for the increase in the salaries of all officials is that the treasury is now being abundant at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

This was due to the prosperity of Daqin's commerce and trade.

Now that the lives of the people of Daqin are better, and they have money in their pockets, they are naturally willing to buy something, which stimulates domestic commerce, and Daqin's money flows.

You know, a country can only generate more money if it is constantly flowing.

Moreover, Daqin is not only driving the development of the economy by domestic demand, but also the proportion of foreign trade is also very large.

Although Daqin's foreign trade today is basically foreign trade with Loulan, Loulan is only a middleman.

Loulan does not have such a big market, but it can't stand the huge market of Central Asia and West Asia opened up by Loulan, and even Loulan has been hundreds of years ahead of time, and will be on the road of foreign trade

The line opened up to the edge of Europe.

Now that Great Qin does not control the Western Regions, as long as Great Qin destroys Loulan, or makes Loulan a vassal country and controls the Western Regions, in fact, the Silk Road will be formed.

Of course, in the face of such a huge foreign trade, the first emperor of Great Qin and some officials have already cast their eyes on Loulan.
