Daqin: Take the bamboo shoots, Zulong eavesdropped on my heart!

"promise."

Er, the young master Gao and the other three were invited in front of Feng Zheng.

"Chang'an Hou An is good."

"I called on the three young masters, and the three young masters came in person, Feng Zheng was very frightened."

Feng Zheng chuckled and asked them to sit down.

"My son, Gao, once had a relationship with the Marquis of Chang'an."

Young Master Gao introduced, "This is my seventh younger brother You Long, and this is my tenth younger brother Sheng Feng."

"The three sons have worked hard all the way."

"Bearing the name of the emperor, I dare not talk about hard work."

Young Master Gao smiled slightly, and his father ordered the three of them to be called, saying that he wanted to set up a Daqin bank and let the three of them be in charge.

When the three of them heard this, they were all overwhelmed.

Establish Daqin Bank?

what's the situation?

They don't know anything about this.

Ying Zheng immediately asked the three of them to come to Feng Zheng and ask Feng Zheng to explain it to them in person so that they could be familiar with it and understand it clearly.

"According to my father's words, the imperial court wants to establish the Daqin Bank, and this is the idea of ​​the Marquis of Chang'an."

Young Master Gao asked, "Marquis Chang'an, what is the reason for this, please enlighten me."

"Hehe, I don't dare to teach you, Fourth Young Master doesn't have to be so polite."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "Actually, the Daqin Bank was established, in a word, to make money."

make money?

Court, make money?

"Oh?"

Young Master Gao was taken aback for a moment, and immediately asked, "For the imperial court, to make money?"

"It is also……"

Feng Zheng said, "In the future, the court's merchants will prosper, but someone must manage the money. Daqin's bank is to manage money for Daqin and make money for the court."

"But it's so..."

Young Master Gao paused for a moment, and then asked, "Don't blame the Marquis of Chang'an, Ying Gao wanted to ask, why did the imperial court want to prosper merchants? The way of merchants is not tolerated by the reform of the Shang monarch. This time, the imperial court is required to personally revitalize the merchants. what?"

Moreover, let them, the princes, all participate?

Young Master Gao has been thinking about this problem all the way.

Is it really necessary for the court to do business?

Isn't this going to overthrow the iron-clad national policy of Shang Yang's reform?

Chapter 238 Business and agriculture are intertwined

"The young master asked exactly."

Hearing Young Master Gao's careful questioning, Feng Zheng said with a smile, "Young Master, if you don't ask, I'm going to explain it to you."

Yes, it is normal for people like Young Master Gao to have such doubts.

After all, the Great Qin emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce for 200 years, and suddenly the imperial court itself wanted to promote the way of commerce, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

It makes too many people feel unacceptable.

Let them pay attention to and participate in the way of doing business that they have always looked down upon, especially these pampered clan children?

If I can't figure it out, I will instinctively reject it.

However, Gong Zigao did not show any displeasure or dissatisfaction, but just asked questions carefully.

This is also where he is different from others. Although his personality is not as gentle and kind as Fusuna's, but he is calm and takes the overall situation first, which are his characteristics.

Even to a certain extent, Gongzi Gao is more suitable to be a successor than Fusu.

However, Qin Shihuang favored Fusu alone.

"Please enlighten the Marquis of Chang'an."

"kindness……"

Feng Zheng smiled, and said unhurriedly, "Actually, everything is for the purpose of making profits for the court."

For the court, for profit?

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, the seventh son You Long on the side stepped forward and asked, "In the past, Shang Yang's reform was an act to benefit Qin. Now, the Marquis of Chang'an intends to overthrow Shang Jun's law, and he also said it was to benefit Qin. , isn't it a contradiction?"

"Seventh Young Master, this is not contradictory."

Feng Zheng laughed and said, "Because, the reason for this is that it is the Great Qin of today, not the Great Qin of the past. Shang Yang's reform was intended to strengthen the country and dominate the princes. Now, the princes are gone, and many of Shang Yang's reforms are just for the sake of The law established for a decisive battle with the princes is not the most suitable. From the previous one that benefited the Great Qin, it has become a law that hinders the Great Qin."

“How come you see?”

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, You Long asked immediately.

"Simple."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "At that time, Shang Yang reformed the law and established a military merit system, encouraging soldiers to compete for military merit to settle down and live, and to make up for the families of military families.

But now, there has been no war in the Central Plains for ten years, can these soldiers gain fame and fortune by relying on their military exploits?

Under their military dependents, for ten years, young adults were not allowed to return home, without extra subsidies, and the situation was worse than that of ordinary households.

This was the complete opposite before the unification of the Great Qin Dynasty. "

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, You Long was taken aback for a moment, then nodded anxiously, "This is so."

"So, Shang Yang's reform, there are many places, it was very suitable for Daqin at that time, but Daqin is different now, so it is not suitable."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "Now, Daqin is sitting on the four seas, and there is no war within the four realms. Military power is no longer Daqin's greatest wealth, but has become a burden with a large demand and high feeding. This is not conducive to Great Qin move.

However, Daqin absolutely cannot reduce the size of the army at this moment. After all, the Six Kingdoms were initially established, and reducing the army now is not conducive to the stability of the Quartet. "

"exactly……"

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, You Long nodded heavily.

Obviously, they all agree with these principles.

"That being the case, there is a contradiction."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "Daqin has a large demand, but the scale of demand cannot be reduced, so we can only find ways to increase output."

"That's the truth..."

You Long nodded, and then asked, "Since that's the case, think of a way to increase food production, wouldn't it be good?"

"Hey, increasing grain production is the first step."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "In other words, the purpose of prospering merchants is to make the increase of grain production more convenient and more firepower."

"This……"

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, You Long was suddenly puzzled.

What does the way of merchants have to do with benefiting grain production?

Are these two questions next to each other?

"That's what I told my son."

Feng Zheng said, "For example, a farmer, how can he increase his grain production?"

"Farmers are naturally willing to increase their income for their livelihood..."

Hearing Feng Zheng's question, You Long didn't take it seriously.

"Hey, this is human instinct, but farmers all over the world have thought this way since Shennong, but why is it still ineffective?"

"This……"

After hearing this, You Long smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't know, I would like to hear the details."

"Because, just thinking is not enough, just having determination is not enough, you have to find a suitable way."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "The appropriate way is to let the outside world have more help for his cultivation."

kindness?

Let the outside world have more help for its cultivation?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, the three of You Long couldn't help being puzzled.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Young master, you think so."

Feng Zheng said, "If it's an ordinary farmer, it's better for him to farm the fields by himself, or to give him a cow to help him farm?"

"Of course there are cows."

After hearing this, You Long immediately said, "The strength of a cow and a horse is far better than that of a farmer."

"That's it."

Feng Zheng laughed and said, "So, in the simplest terms, the more horses and cattle that can be provided to the people in this world, the easier it will be for the people to cultivate the fields, and the more harvest will be gained from farming?"

"It is also……"

"Okay, so let's go, we have to find a way to make more cattle and horses, so we have to develop animal husbandry."

Feng Zheng said, "In addition to providing cattle and horses to the people, animal husbandry also involves fur meat. In order for the animal husbandry to flourish, the fur industry and the meat industry must also provide possibilities and convenience, right?"

"That's what happened..."

"So, we also make the fur industry and the meat industry more likely to flourish..."

Feng Zheng pushed his hands and said, "In this way, one industry and one industry are closely related, so that they can all flourish. In the end, the agriculture at the root can get the greatest supplementation and care.

Moreover, this is only a part related to agriculture. In addition, in addition to the care of the land, there is also the care of people. Therefore, it will also be derived. Each industry uses each material and item .

And commerce is the best means of producing and distributing these items.Therefore, in order to make the world no longer in short supply, the imperial court had to prosper business. "

"Oh, is that the truth?"

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, You Long and the others were slightly taken aback.

These words seem to make sense...

Although, for a while, it was still difficult for them to fully understand.

"Moreover, the prosperity of this business is not only good for agriculture, but also good for the imperial court."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "There are more things in the world, more money and food, and more income for the court. Therefore, the living standards of the clan children and the powerful can be worse? Isn't it possible to turn over more money?" How many times the enjoyment?"

kindness?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, the eyes of Young Master Gao and the others suddenly brightened!

This is so!

"And! And there is..."

Feng Zheng chuckled, "Letting the clan's children manage the bank is not just for the court, but for all of you, your children and grandchildren..."

what?

Is it for our children and grandchildren?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Young Master Gao thought, "The Marquis of Chang'an means..."

Chapter 239 The Enfeoffment of Money

"Oh, this matter is actually not difficult to understand."

Feng Zheng smiled and said, "For example, let me ask, the three are all descendants of the clan, but they are even more sons. Are your current status and treatment the same as those of other descendants of Duke Mu and Xiao?"
