Chapter 380 The Early Dynasty Begins

"Great." Li Si said excitedly, "Let's start the layout now, and I will arrange for people to go to the land of Baiyue to find a way to reach Xianyang City quickly." ”

Meng Yi shook his head and said, "There are no shortcuts at all. According to Mr., sea freight is the fastest.

We sailed from Langya to South Vietnam and built a wharf there, and we used the goods on the wharf to transport them, which was definitely much faster than by land. ”

Li Si's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands and said: "I agree, sea transportation is definitely much faster than land transportation."

The land of Baiyue is full of rugged and difficult mountain roads, and there are many mosquitoes, rats, ants and miasma. The most important thing is that the mountain bandits composed of mountain people are already a headache.

Therefore, sea freight is definitely the most important transportation channel now.

We must bring it up before Feng Xiang proposes it.

Now let's talk about some things about sea freight. ”

"Okay." Meng Yi responded.

He also felt that this matter was very important, and if someone took the lead, it would cause them a certain loss.

So the two began to study sea freight.

Since there is maritime transport, it is necessary to enact relevant laws, and it is also necessary to ......

After a night of negotiation between the two, Li Si and Meng Yi have preliminarily formulated a set of relevant materials required for sea transportation.

After the two yawned, they got up one after another, and without even having time to sort out their clothes and appearance, they went directly to the palace with their plan.

If you don't go, the time of the morning pilgrimage will pass.

"Li Xiang, there is the palace in front. All the officials are outside the palace gate. Meng Yi said.

Li Si breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay to be in time." This plan is for you, and you are here to talk about it today. ”

Meng Yi took the plan, nodded seriously, and said, "Feng Xiang, don't worry, I will definitely persuade His Majesty and the civil and military officials in the court." ”

"I believe in you." Li Si said, "Let's go, it's almost morning court, let's go see Feng Xiang." ”

Meng Yi nodded.

Soon, the two of them came to Feng Quji, and at this time, Feng Quji was surrounded by many nobles, and it seemed that Li Si and Meng Yi had lost a section.

"Feng Xiang, can you complete Your Majesty's task?" Li Si asked with a smile.

Xungui on the side said proudly: "Of course it's done, I don't know if Li Xiang has finished it?" ”

Feng Quji's face sank, and he was just about to speak when Li Si took the lead.

Li Si smiled and said, "I don't know if it's finished." Everything is up to Your Majesty to decide. ”

Xungui's face changed just now, why do you want Your Majesty to decide, isn't it just to complete Your Majesty's task?

Feng Qu smiled bitterly: "Li Xiang, this is already confident, admire." ”

Li Si looked at Feng Quji thoughtfully, and said, "Is there anything Feng Xiang can't solve?" ”

Feng Qu shook his head and said: "It is true that the business is easy to do, but how can you still make the goods pass through the world."

This is not to say that there is no cargo to the world now, but that the speed can be even faster, and one of them is the road.

Mr. once said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

But how can it be so easy to build roads, Li Xiang, do you have a solution? ”

Li Si shook his head and said, "Your Majesty divides the world into thirty-six counties, which means that thirty-six roads need to be built.

Among these 36 roads, some roads can be multi-passed, and one main road can go directly to any of the 36 counties, and then branch on the main road to reach the county seat, township, li, and pavilion.

However, this requires a lot of manpower and material resources, especially since Daqin does not have so much cement for the world to use, and there are no many people who can build roads together. ”

Li Si said: "That's right, the manpower and material resources spent on road construction are not a small amount, and the more important thing is cement."

There isn't that much cement at the moment, so we'll have to find another way. ”

"Then Li Xiang can have a way."

Just when Feng Qujian asked questions, the time of the court came, and a eunuch came out to inform the ministers of the court.

Li Si could only drop a sentence to say more, so he and Feng Quji led the ministers to Zhangtai Palace.

After arriving at the main hall, the ministers waited for a while and saw Ying Zheng walking into the main hall with domineering steps, and then sat on the dragon chair in the middle.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed." The ministers said to Ying Zheng at the same time.

"You don't need to be polite, give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

During the Qin Dynasty, the ministers sat on their knees, not standing at all.

The people did their own work, and Ying Zheng said: "Today's shopping mall, I have something to inform you.

Baiyue's rice target has been sent to 330 catties, two seasons a year, that is, 660 catties, which is three or four times more than the grain yield per mu in Guanzhong and the six countries, or even six or seven times.

In addition, the seeds of potatoes have increased, and I plan to give some of them to the people and the land of Baiyue, and some of them will be cultivated by the government.

So from now on, food is no longer a problem for the imperial court.

But since ancient times, grain has hurt farmers. If there is more grain, the price will naturally be lower, which I don't want to see, so I decided to collect the surplus in the hands of the people according to the current market price, and collect as much as I want. ”

Fu Zikang said: "Your Majesty loves the people, and Weichen admires it, but when you buy the grain in the hands of the people at the original price, I'm afraid that the court will not take out so much silver taels for a while." ”

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "So I plan to officially implement the monetary policy, and use copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins as circulating currency.

The imperial court no longer collected grain, but replaced it with copper coins.

And officially launched commercial taxation and commercial law, but any businessman who evades taxes and evades taxes will be punished in strict accordance with the commercial law. ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Feng Quji said, "On behalf of the nobles, Weichen supports His Majesty's policy of revitalizing business, and is willing to sell most of the grain to the imperial court.

At the same time, he is willing to send people to do business, and he must open shops throughout Daqin. ”

"Good, very good." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Feng Xiang and the nobles of Great Qin are worthy of being the pillars of Great Qin, and the ancestors shed blood and sweat for Great Qin's battles everywhere.

In the second generation, you have worked hard for the prosperity of Daqin, although you don't have to shed blood and sweat, but you have made Daqin's business make indelible achievements.

Therefore, your merits are not inferior to those of your forefathers. The court will remember you, and the people will remember you. ”

"Your Majesty, this is what the ministers should do." Feng Quji said, "However, although the ministers have the heart to contribute to the imperial court. But there is still a serious problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Road." Feng Quji said, "Nowadays, cement roads have been built inside and outside Xianyang City, but there are no other cement roads in the whole world.

This will cause some trouble for the development of business, especially in the future, the use of telegraph and telephone, although the news can be conveyed in time, but the time for the delivery of goods is too slow.

It is possible that a day or two can change an opportunity. ”

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