Chapter 851: The Importance of Business

Yan Ju said in a deep voice, "So what? What if the people don't know what is going on in the world? What does it have to do with businessmen and with the country?"

"It's a big deal." Qin An said, "As long as the people know about the affairs of the world, then they will no longer resist the imperial court and will not resist the merchants.

People's vision will be improved, and they can take advantage of the latest news to improve their quality of life.

The most important thing is to make it impossible for the anti-Qin forces to deceive them with rhetoric.

Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you hate Great Qin and the imperial court, because Qin's destruction of the Six Kingdoms made you consciously think that you have no country.

But is that really the case? I'm sure some of the scholars, as well as the nobles, already know that three years ago, the First Emperor issued a summons to advertise the world.

The summons said that the Great Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world because Huaxia was a whole, not divided into six countries.

You can be Qin, Zhao, Qi, and Chu, but in the end you are all Chinese, the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the descendants of the dragon.

The First Emperor even said that Great Qin can be destroyed, and China is inseparable.

He also issued a holy decree to the border passes, no matter what difficulties the court encountered, even the danger of destroying the country, they were not allowed to return.

Not only the Mong Tien army in the north, but also the South Vietnamese army, none of them were allowed to come back to save the country.

Do you know why the First Emperor did that? Because he knows that you will definitely rebel, and he also knows that once the border army comes back to rescue, then Huaxia's combat power will be weakened.

The Xiongnu army will attack the border passes, occupy our Chinese land, and oppress our descendants of Yan and Huang.

The land of Baiyue will become independent one after another, and the land of Baiyue that the imperial court has fought hard will also be lost.

Therefore, for the sake of the future of China, the First Emperor would rather the Qin State be destroyed than the Chinese people being bullied by foreigners, nor did he want Huaxia to lose a piece of land.

Ladies and gentlemen of Xianyang City, how many of you know about this? I'm afraid it's not much, because the anti-Qin forces will hide it.

Especially those peasants who couldn't read a single word, they would not believe that the First Emperor had such a mind.

I can tell you that there is.

The First Emperor had such a mind, otherwise everyone would think about it carefully, and the First Emperor would be destroyed

After the Six Kingdoms of Xiushu Network, did you order the nobles of each country and the clans of each country to be killed?

No, not one, it can only be said that the soldiers of various countries who died on the battlefield are still fighting for the country, and there is no right or wrong at all.

If you are really wrong, it can only be said that it is the only way for human development to follow. Even if the First Emperor does not unify the world, sooner or later someone will unify the world."

Qin An's mouth was dry, and he didn't know if the people below had listened to it.

Zhang Liang immediately handed Qin An a water bag and said, "Sir, please drink water."

"Thanks."

Qin An took the water bag and drank it fiercely, and half of the water bag disappeared in an instant.

Qin An spit out, feeling very refreshed, so he continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, what I said just now is a little off-topic, but what I said is true, you can go to the yamen or the merchants to inquire.

Or ask the anti-Qin forces you support, and now we will continue the topic of business.

As I said, a businessman can't travel, but needs to travel slowly after the merchant appears.

It satisfies the daily needs of the people, and at the same time brings tax revenue to the state and enhances the country's economic strength, that is, it fills the national treasury.

Secondly, and what everyone is most concerned about, is that business can promote the country's industrial upgrading and technological progress.

Everyone knows that I have invented a lot of agricultural tools and technologies, including pen, ink, paper, inkstone, glass, and salt-making technology, which are closely related to you.

Do you think I invented these technologies? Actually, no, it was researched by your descendants, my ancestors.

There are ordinary craftsmen who study them, and there are also merchants who pay craftsmen for money

We study. Ь.

But why do they study these things? To put it bluntly, it's about making money.

For example, the cultivator I invented, everyone thinks it is easy to use, but it costs money to buy a cultivator.

Even if you can't afford it, you can rent it for money.

The money ends up in my pocket, and when I have the money, I'm going to work on new cultivators that will make them lighter, use less materials, be faster, and so on."

"Emperor, since you have already researched the cultivator, why do you need to study something better?" Yan Ju asked again.

"Didn't I say it, in order to be lightweight, save materials, and improve performance."

"But aren't you afraid of failure?"

"I'm afraid." Qin An said, "But I'm more afraid that others will research a better cultivator first."

"Do others dare?" Yan Ju said.

Qin An said in surprise, "Why don't you dare? Is it because I invented it that no one else is allowed to do it?

So what is the difference between me and those who prevent social progress, and why should I go to Yandi to persuade the anti-Qin forces in Yandi to surrender?

Don't forget, I know the history of 2,000 years from now, as long as I follow the people who will unify the world in the future.

I won't be able to live my whole life in peace, and I can even use the technology I know in the future to unify the world myself.

But I didn't do it, because I knew that once the rebellion against Qin began, more than half of the 30 million Chinese people would die.

I feel distressed, I came to Daqin, not to destroy Qin, I came to the whole of China, to let China rule the whole world.

You have already seen the map of the world, and in the future, we Chinese people will be the masters of this world.

People in other countries can only survive if they integrate with us, otherwise they can only choose to perish.

And if we want to rule the world, the first thing we have to do is develop ourselves.

The development of oneself is divided into three aspects, the first is to develop agriculture, I want to make everyone in the world fed, and I have already done it.

The second is to develop business, which is still being worked on.

The third is to develop talents, which is also being worked on.

Whether it is to develop talents or agriculture, we first need to have money, and if we want to be rich, we need to develop business.

Now I would like to summarize the benefits of business, one is to increase people's income and enrich material wealth, and the second is to improve and upgrade technology.

In fact, there is a third point, that is, to raise national taxes.

Many peasants and workers do not think so, especially the peasants, because you feel that your taxes are an important source of tax revenue for the imperial court."

"Isn't it?" This time it was a middle-aged man who was questioned, but judging by the way he was dressed, he knew that he was an authentic farmer.

Qin An shook his head and said, "Yes now, but not in the future. In the future, agricultural taxes have been abolished, and even subsidies have been given to farmers."
