"This thing is actually very worthless, but it will definitely be worth a lot in a short period of time, I plan to sell such a mirror for three hundred to five hundred Wen, what does the Wu Clan Sect Master think?" Jiang Bai asked.

Wu Shilu sighed: "With such a low price, it only takes half a year to make the whole world give up the bronze mirror and use this particularly good mirror." ”

Jiang Bai asked, "Do you want to make money through this?" ”

"I know that Taifu's intention is to have hundreds of thousands of cattle from the Wu clan, but this is not enough." "I can hand over all the livestock, including the sheep, but we can't have less." ”

"I can only guarantee that your wealth will increase more and more, but you also have to pay the corresponding price," Jiang Bai said, "The official position that was originally given to you is second only to Jiuqing's status, you can only serve for half a year at most, and it can't be compared with my original plan to let you be a high-ranking official at the Jiuqing level for twenty years." ”

Wu Shi was startled, and his black eyes stared at Jiang Bai for a long time.

"Don't look at it, the name set is called Taifu Temple, originally planned to let you serve, your clansmen, to choose the best at raising horses in Anding County as the Taifu Temple, since you have chosen to increase your wealth, then I can only give you a profitable business." Jiang Bai said, "The first is this kind of mirror market in the west of Guanzhong and Longxi, the second is bricks, in addition, you can act as an agent for the entire Guanzhong area of the folk glass market, that is, the transparent thing that makes the mirror." ”

Wu Shilu thought about it for a long time, and she knew that being an official was the best choice for the family.

But when you become an official, do you have to give up so much wealth?

"I won't let you suffer a loss, I will give you as many goods as you can take out as many livestock, you want it all in one go, I will give it all in one breath, if you want to go a long way, I can set a total value for you, and I will not cut off your supply until your family's wealth is doubled." Jiang Bai smiled, "You don't have to worry about your wealth being too much, we will be uncomfortable." With my ability, it doesn't seem to be worth my attention, what do you say? ”

Wu Shilu was silent thinking.

At this time, Huaiqing ran back and asked: "Our family is willing to stay in Xianyang, and the power of Ba County can also be handed over to the government, but we need to keep private soldiers, which is fundamental to ensuring that our business will not be disrupted by the barbarians in the southwest." ”

"No." Jiang Bai mercilessly refused.

You're a small businessman who wants to have tens of thousands of private troops?

Daqin must develop commerce, should improve the status of merchants, and pay more attention to the value of the commodity economy.

But if the merchant wants to keep a private soldier, then destroy it!

Huaiqing was both indignant and frightened in his heart, and couldn't help crying: "Doesn't Taifu give us a little way to live?" ”

"I gave you a way to live, you don't want to, you have so many ways to live, why do you have to choose to be my enemy? Since Ying Zheng dares to believe me, I have no choice but to help him take down a complete world, this world, not only has developed agriculture, strong handicraft industry, and extremely prosperous commerce, but also has to have his own fields, and those who farm can eat enough, and the workers are only hired laborers and not slaves and maids raised by anyone, and let the merchants must operate honestly according to the law, and pay taxes according to their duties. Jiang Bai said coldly.

Huaiqing said: "We don't dare to think about that. ”

"Don't tell me about your difficulties, your difficulties, first of all, lie in your refusal to intervene in the government, you want to control the power in the southwest, otherwise, I am a million soldiers in Daqin, and I can't protect your small business family?" Jiang Bai said, "Don't try to cry with me for benefits, Yingzheng is willing to give you that is his business, I will only try to kill you, if you can't kill one, then kill a hundred, if a hundred doesn't work, then kill ten thousand, the world will never allow businessmen to hold military power, not one!" ”

He finally told Wu Shi: "You can go back today, discuss with your people, my conditions do not have to be changed, before the beginning of spring, you can reply to me and I will make your final decision." The eyes of the 500,000 soldiers of the Lishan Legion are red in order to obtain military exploits, and we urgently need a purpose that can justify our name! ”

Wu Shi sighed: "There are thousands of people in the Wu clan, how dare they fight against the heavenly soldiers and generals, Taifu rest assured, I know how to choose." ”

"That's right," Jiang Bai said, "Your hundreds of thousands of livestock, it is more than enough to change a national prince, with this thing, I will build a luxurious statue for you, Yingzheng and his descendants, even if they respect you, will not attack you." As long as you don't rebel and don't break the law, you can only be richer, and you can't wait to be cut off by my knife and thrown into the dirt like some foolish families. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Wu Shilu wrote to the imperial court, with 120,000 war horses, 6,000 ploughing cattle, and 300,000 local sheep, to ask the court for a suitable official position.

The court was in an uproar.

Great Qin had the rule that land and money were exchanged for titles.

But generally speaking, it is just hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars in exchange for a middle-level knighthood.

Who has ever seen a war horse equivalent to the total number of cavalry mounts of a country in exchange for an official position?

I didn't know that the wealthy court ministers of the Wu clan were in a hurry.

Li Si actually suggested: "In this case, you can give a border guard position for them to resist the Huns, these cattle, sheep and horses, you can also give titles to their clansmen, such as the five doctors is enough." ”

Ying Zheng was very dissatisfied with this.

Li Si hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since they came to the door by themselves, they are afraid of the strength of the imperial court, and they must not give an extremely bad head to the rich people in the world, and let them take the opportunity to negotiate with the imperial court, which is not conducive to the long-term stability of the country, and the minister begs ......"

"Okay, no one can threaten your position as Prime Minister Zuo!" Ying Zheng said impatiently, "Who else has an opinion, speak up!" ”

The ministers looked at each other, could it be that the emperor actually wanted to give a higher official position?

Wang Juan said tentatively: "Your Majesty, you can ...... your subordinates and reward them."

"Do you want to give one of the thousands of people in the Wu clan?" Ying Zheng said lightly, "I don't understand, isn't it a monstrous credit to donate so many materials to the imperial court?" As for people being threatened, what does it have to do with you? ”

Li Si panicked in his heart, this was the second time in a short time that he had misunderstood the emperor's intentions.

He immediately retreated into the crowd obediently.

If you don't say it, don't you dare to say it?

"Okay, since you have nothing to say, I will say something," Ying Zheng said, "Xuanzhao, from now on, the Taifu Temple and the Taifu Temple in Daqin City, the Wu clan will enter the court, and the founding county will be the secretary of the Taifu Temple, and the talented people of the Wu clan will be the stable Taifu Temple, this official position, since you are all opposed, I will not embarrass you, set up under the Taifu Sect, and I will pay for it myself." ”
