Da Qin: The First Emperor was reborn and made me the crown prince at the beginning

Chapter 229

In front of Yingzheng, Yingchen began to say his method.

"Compared with the previous method of forcibly recruiting people to build roads and construction projects, in fact, there are more, I think it is still eight words: lure it with profit, and move it with profit!"

"In this, the role of business will be reflected."

Here, Ying Zheng listened to Yingchen's ~ opening and was stunned.

It's just because Daqin changed the law because of the Shang Dynasty, so it has always been believed that the foundation of the country lies in the unity of cultivation and warfare!

Business, on the other hand, will absorb a large number of labor, and at the same time increase the flow of people, so that it is difficult to manage.

Therefore, whether it is Confucianism, Legalism, or even Mohists and peasants, in essence, they all value agriculture over business, industry and commerce.

Farmers and artisans may not have had as much wealth as merchants.

But in terms of status, it is far above the merchants.

This was true even when there was no change in the craftsman system before Yingchen.

If a craftsman works hard, he can do it well.

If a peasant worked hard, he could become a landlord, then a poor man, and eventually a nobleman.

And a businessman, no matter how much wealth he has, can only be a businessman.

Lü Buwei is an exception.

Moreover, after Lü Buwei arrived in Daqin, he almost completely dispersed his family wealth.

At that time, Lü Buwei had basically broken away from the identity of a businessman.

And when Yingchen set up the Ministry of Commerce Shangshu before, the reason why Yingzheng and the civil and military officials did not oppose it.

It's just out of trust in Yingchen.

Yes.

Up to now, whether it is Yingzheng or civil and military officials, there is already a subconscious belief and recognition of Yingchen.

This is what Yingchen has done, he has never failed, and under his influence, Daqin has become more stable and prosperous step by step, and the people have become more healthy.

In this case, they have already formed.

For Yingchen's decision, you can not understand, but you can never lightly oppose the situation.

Speaking of which, this is also the reason why those wise saints in ancient times, the more they reached old age, the more likely they were to have problems.

Because all along, he was right.

So in the midst of decades of being right, people have become accustomed to his rightness.

So even when he makes a mistake, it's hard for others to object.

Human beings have the instinct to obey the strong.

It's like there's a wolf in a pack that rules everything.

The same is true for human beings.

Just like now, Yingchen's statement actually has some impact on Yingzheng's inherent concept.

Even if Ying Zheng already has a certain understanding of the future history, this is also true.

Because all dynasties, from the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, except for the Song Dynasty, which may have attached a little importance to commerce, the rest of the dynasties were in a state of contempt and contempt for commerce and hurting people.

However, since it was Yingchen who said this, Yingzheng still wanted to continue to listen to what the other party meant.

In this way, Yingchen began to talk about his reasons: "Here, I want to ask my father a question. "

"If we let Daqin contribute by himself, how many people and how much food do we need?"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "If we contribute by ourselves, then even if we build a road, we will need to use 400,000 people." "

"And with such a large amount of work every day, the food they need should not be less than that of the soldiers who go out on the expedition."

"At least 500,000 stone of grain is needed in a month."

"That's six million stone of grain a year."

Hearing this, Yingchen nodded: "This is exactly the reason I said. (If you read violent novels, you can go to Feilu Novel Network!) ）

"If we Daqin take action and want to build nine cement roads within ten years, then at least millions of people will need to be used every year, and the food needed will probably reach fifteen million stones!"

"This is a huge expense for us Daqin!"

"And these millions of people have been requisitioned and not allowed to go home, so they will inevitably be dissatisfied over time."

"Therefore, in this case, letting those businessmen go out can greatly reduce the pressure on our imperial court."

"I am going to gather the merchants of the entire Guanzhong, Luoyang and Longxi, and then first repair the road from Guanzhong to Hexi and from Guanzhong to Luoyang."

"These roads, I will divide them into dozens of sections, and then contract them out in batches."

"Whether or not they can contract depends on the price of the bidding and their original qualifications."

"After that, we will inspect and verify it, and if everything is qualified, we can hand over the right to operate this section for 10 years."

"Of course, as with table salt, we also have to give a maximum price!"

"In this way, by building these cement roads, we in Daqin not only do not have to spend a penny of money, but also can get a lot of benefits."

"On the other hand, these businessmen have ten years of business rights, and the benefits they get will not be a few."

"The most important thing is that these businessmen basically won't be as simple and rude as our Daqin."

"When the time comes, they will definitely pay for these people to build the road."

"In this way, in addition to the benefits of farming, the people will also have a benefit from road construction."

"In fact, if you think about it carefully, the area north of the Yangtze River, ploughing once a year, except for the busy farming season, they actually have nothing to do."

"Now that they have these concrete roads to do, they can not only pass the time in their spare time, but also earn a lot of money."

"In this case, whether it is for Daqin, for these merchants, or for these people, there are a lot of benefits!"

Here, after listening to Yingchen's series of calculations, Yingzheng understood a lot, and felt that he didn't understand a lot very well.

But no matter what, he kind of knew.

Yingchen is taking the benefits of the cement road in the next ten years to fill the current funds.

In this case, Daqin and the people have benefited now.

And the businessman who contracted this section of the road is using the current money to buy the future income.

In this way, the risks and funds in the early stage are naturally borne by the businessman.

This is equivalent to Yingchen transferring the pressure of Daqin.

This is another terrifying Yang Mou scarf!
