Chapter 374: I'm Thinking About You

The nobles discussed with each other, and finally looked at Feng Quji, who was drinking tea leisurely, and they were really angry and had nowhere to spill.

Fu Zikang said helplessly: "Feng Xiang, you might as well give me some guidance on entering and exiting, I really don't know what to do." ”

Feng Quji smiled, put down the teacup in his hand, and said slowly, "How much do you think my teacup is worth?" ”

Fu Zikang said angrily: "Feng Xiang, now is not the time to ask about this. ”

"Who says it's not time?" Feng Qu replied with a smile, "Now is the right time, you just have to tell me, how much is this worth?" ”

Fu Zikang saw Feng Qujian and said helplessly: "I heard that this is the craftsmanship of the emperor, and there are not many people in the entire Great Qin, so the value cannot be estimated." ”

"Shall I ask you to give me a price?" Feng Qujian said strongly.

"Ten thousand taels of gold." Fu Zikang said, "As long as Feng Xiang is willing to cede, the lower official courtyard will give Feng Xiang 10,000 taels of gold." ”

The other nobles were shocked, 10,000 taels of gold, this price is very high, they can't help but envy Feng Quji, as long as they nod, this 10,000 taels of gold will be in hand.

Feng Qujian waved his hand and said, "Although 10,000 taels of gold is very good, I won't sell it." ”

"Since Feng Xiang doesn't sell. Why do you want to entertain the lower officials. Fu Zikang said with some annoyance.

Feng Quji waved his hand and said, "I'm not entertaining you, but telling you that in the future, any goods will be required to be settled with copper coins, silver coins and gold coins.

The barter will disappear completely, and the people's grain will be purchased by the imperial court and local government. ”

"So what?" Fu Zikang asked.

"You idiot." Feng Qujian said, "I said so clearly, haven't you reacted yet?" In the future, Daqin will promote commerce and encourage the people to do business. ”

"How can that be?" Fu Zikang said, "If the people don't go to farming, what will happen to the grain? ”

"Hmph." Feng Quji sneered: "Don't the merchants farm the land?" You have to farm the land, too. As long as you have land, you can't let it be wasted, and whoever gives it to waste, the court will confiscate his land.

If you don't have land, you don't have to farm. ”

"Isn't that a forcible seizure? Will the people agree? Fu Zikang said.

"Please remove your word." Feng Quji said, "As long as you have money, what does it matter if you don't farm or not?" The most important thing is that if you have money, can't you just give your land to other people?

Have you planted all your own land? ”

"This ......"

An embarrassed smile appeared on everyone's faces, they were all nobles, they had tenants and slaves, how could they need to farm the land themselves.

"I understand what Feng Xiang means, those who farm the land belong to the land, and the merchants continue to trade, and the two do not conflict, even if the court supports the merchants to do business, the people who should farm the land are still farming." A nobleman said.

Feng Qu shook his head and said: "You're right, farming is different now than before, have you noticed?" ”

Fu Zikang said: "Now it is much more convenient to farm, and the people have a lot of time to come out and find work. ”

"That's right." Feng Quji said, "It's a pity that these laborers are wasted like this."

Just build a workshop, hire them to work, and we'll make money, and once it's time to harvest, let them go back, and come back after the harvest, it's very simple.

This will not only increase the motivation of the workers, but also get a good reputation, and the reputation of the businessman is the most important.

I once asked the emperor about this question, and the emperor said that commerce is underdeveloped because the productive forces are backward, and once the productive forces go up, commerce will also develop.

In today's Great Qin, grain, cloth, which were once regarded as currency, are increasing rapidly, and it won't be long before people in the world will have endless food to eat and clothes to wear.

If you don't develop commerce, your advantage will no longer exist, and the people will no longer serve you.

I have food and clothing, so why should I serve you?

His Majesty had seen this, so he asked the emperor to give a solution, that is, to use currency transactions for the sake of business, and cancel the barter.

I believe that it will not be long before the grain tax will be paid in copper coins, and the grain of the people will be purchased by the imperial court. ”

Fu Zikang's eyes rolled and said, "If this is the case, then we can make a lot of money by buying grain at a higher price than the imperial court, and then selling grain at a high price." ”

When the others heard this, their eyes lit up and they said, "Yes, in this way, wouldn't we be able to make a lot of money." ”

A lot of people had a smile on their faces.

Feng Qujian shook his head and said, "I advise you not to do that. ”

"Why? Could it be that Your Majesty will kill us? ”

"Killing you is the last resort, don't forget, the court also has food, and don't forget that there is also the emperor.

In the face of your increase in food prices, the emperor has a way to punish you, and when the time comes, you will lose a sum of money, not to mention, and your reputation will be ruined.

If you don't have a reputation and want to get a foothold in the business world in the future, then you don't have to think about it anymore. ”

Everyone was shocked, Feng Quji's meaning was very clear, they could raise the price of food, but the emperor would take action, and if the emperor failed, there would be Your Majesty, and Your Majesty would kill them. m.

"Feng Xiang, I know, whether we invest money or not, we need to support Your Majesty's great business." A nobleman said.

Feng Qu shook his head and said, "The trend is the general trend. After supporting Xingshang, take down the telegraph office, and your industry should be doubled. ”

"Feng Xiang, you tell us the truth." Fu Zikang said, "Is it that we can't get our hands on the telephone bureau, and no one can participate?" ”

"That's right." Feng Quji said, "Don't ask the specific reason, anyway, the telephone bureau is in charge of the imperial court."

Now I ask you again, do you invest money or not? ”

"Feng Xiang, since you let us vote. We'll vote. Do we do it all-inclusive or do we leave some for merchants? Fu Zikang asked.

Feng didn't have to think about it, and said, "It's all inclusive, I'm the big one." The rest of you come out, how much do you think I am appropriate, you can discuss it yourself. ”

"Feng Xiang is also out?" Fu Zikang was taken aback.

"Of course, as a representative of the nobility, I have to think about you. Otherwise you think I'm full and I'm going to tell you this. Feng Qujian said angrily.

Fu Zikang and the other group smiled awkwardly.

"Thank you, Feng Xiang, for your consideration." Fu Zikang took the lead in saying.

"Thank you, Feng Xiang, for your consideration." The other nobles thanked Feng Qujian one after another.

Feng Quji waved his hand and smiled: "You don't need to thank me, since you recognize me as the leader, then I have to think about you." ”

Everyone looked at Feng Quji gratefully.

Some people died, but not completely......
