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

"kindness……"

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and then asked, "Will the Huns, who have repeatedly violated the border, be willing to trade with us?"

"Your Majesty, there is nothing to worry about."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "Foreign trade is the icing on the cake. If they are willing to trade, they will follow the rules. If they are not willing to trade, they will continue to fight. For us, no matter how bad it is, it is just a waste of time. "

"Well, it's true..."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

This is true, no matter how bad it is with the Xiongnu, it will just continue to confront each other. Anyway, with the Great Wall and the guarding army, what the Xiongnu can do is nothing more than small-scale harassment.

The initiative of the war is still in your own hands.

"And, in addition to this, it can also solve the problem of selling some of our products."

Feng Zheng said, "The current way of doing business is to prosper. It is better to sell more than to make more things. Internal consumption alone is a way, but if it is added to external sales, isn't it more conducive to the prosperity of Daqin's business? Well.

Anyway, right now it is the imperial court doing business, and the most profitable must be the imperial court.Moreover, when we do business with the outside world, we can also deepen our understanding of the outside world, which is convenient for future external actions. "

kindness?

To facilitate future external actions?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded and smiled, "It makes sense! It does make sense!"

It will be a matter of time to use troops against the Huns.

That being the case, if you want to deepen your understanding of it through doing business, it is really not a bad idea.

"Okay, this matter, I agree!"

"Hey, Your Majesty is wise!"

"kindness……"

Ying Zheng nodded slowly and said, "If that's the case, first use the benefits of dividends to lure the rich and powerful to pay for the food. After they have paid out the food, they will use the three major national banks to store food for the benefit of the people!"

That's right, although the two methods are to absorb food for the court, but we have to find a way to let the dignitaries hand over part of it first!

After all, they have much more grain in their hands than the common people.

If the policy of stockpiling grain to benefit the people is introduced first, or the two policies are carried out together, then the rich and powerful will see the benefits of stockpiling grain, and they may greatly reduce the matter of exchanging grain for shares.

Although buying shares in the imperial court industry may bring them great benefits.

However, compared with grain storage, many rich and powerful people would be more inclined to choose the latter.

After all, when the food goes out, it belongs to the court, not to oneself.Moreover, the future benefit geometry is also an unknown.

The act of storing food can bring free benefits to oneself.

If the rich and powerful take out a large amount of food in their hands and deposit it in the bank, my good guy, just their monthly interest will be a lot of nothing!

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Feng Zheng bowed and said, "Besides, I think that this policy of saving food and benefiting the people must be based on the time limit.

If one stone is stored for a month, it is a Qin Banliang.

If you keep it for half a year, then you will give one more, seven Qin Banliangs.If it is stored for a whole year, then fifteen Qin Banliang will be given.

In this way, the people can be induced to store food for a long time in order to seek more profit.

As long as the grain expires, you can choose to continue to deposit the grain, and the interest will be a lot.

However, on the contrary, if someone disobeys the rules and picks up food in advance before the time limit, he will have to deduct it!

Not only is the interest void, but also [-]% of the grain has to be deducted. "

"Only [-]%?"

"Your Majesty, there are too many deductions, and people are not enough to be afraid and worried. Who would dare to save?"

"Well, also..."

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Ying Zheng nodded slowly, "It makes sense, well, if that's the case, then go and draw up the imperial edict according to what you said."

"promise!"

Soon, an edict was drafted by the cabinet and distributed to the Palace of Internal History.

The cabinet represents Qin Shihuang's will, and after the edict is issued, the Palace of Internal History must announce the emperor's will to the world.

And after seeing the content of this edict, the officials of the Palace of Internal History were instantly blown away!

What?

The property of the imperial court, divided into shares and dividends, can only be exchanged for food?

"Food? Your Majesty, why do you need food again?"

"Yeah, I thought that the dividends of the imperial court's property were to be rewarded to us, and it was not bought with money, but in exchange for food?"

"Your Majesty just borrowed food a few days ago, and said that the repayment will be doubled in the coming year. How come you have raised food again before it's too long?"

"Isn't it going to go to war?"

The officials and dignitaries looked at the imperial edict and discussed it a lot.

"Feng Xiang."

A dignitary came to Feng Quji and asked cautiously, "President Feng, what do you think of this matter?"

Chapter 266 Greed is the Origin of Evil

"Your Majesty's move is indeed to raise food."

Feng Quji glanced at the imperial edict, and slowly got up, "However, I have never heard that His Majesty intends to send troops to any place. In this way, this raising of food is not for the use of troops."

"Then, it's not for the use of troops. Recently, it's nothing serious?"

"There is only one thing, and that is, the imperial court does business."

Feng Quji said, "I am afraid that the imperial court will have to support a lot of people when doing business, and Your Majesty does not want to take too much food from the treasury, so he just thinks about sharing dividends and letting the rich and powerful pay for food." .”

"This, this is thinking of a way to take out the little food in our hands."

"I waited for the court and made great achievements in the past dynasties. Now, the court is doing such a big business, but it doesn't reward us. Besides, it's not for money, or for food?"

"If we take out all the food in our hands, we won't be safe in our hearts."

"Yeah, I've already handed it in once this year. If you take out more, we rich and powerful will really feel uneasy."

"After all, each of our households has to support a lot of people..."

"Feng Xiang, why don't you think of a way?"

"That's right, Xiang Feng, we can't get food several times a year!"

"How about, Feng Xiang took us to join us in the petition, please Your Majesty, how about changing the exchange of food for shares into money for shares?"

The dignitaries are chattering, and their thoughts and opinions are very obvious, that is, they don't want to pay any more.

First, this year, they have already lent a large amount of grain to the imperial court. It hasn't been long in the past, and they have encountered the need to deliver grain again?

Isn't the food that I have garrisoned less?

Second, different from the first time, the imperial court borrowed grain for the first time, and next year, they can exchange it with a lord, at least, that would also double the grain repayment.

But this time, they can only exchange food for the imperial court's property.

Although it is a big temptation for them.After all, they will be able to continue to make profits when the imperial court operation begins.

but!

Food, after all, is different from money.

In the current era of Daqin, there is still a large food gap. If you can give me a continuous food guarantee, then I will definitely be more inclined to food.

Money, the importance and concept of money cannot be compared with survival rations!

That's why, in Feng Zheng's food street, those rich and powerful dared to let their children and grandchildren spend so extravagantly.

After all, what is spent is money, not food.

There is a shortage of food and grass all over the world. Whoever does not hoard enough food at home will feel a sense of crisis in his heart.

If you borrow it from me and pay it back double next year, then I am willing to pay.

This is a different way for me to take it, and it's not a double payment, but it's equivalent to exchanging money.

At least, these dignitaries will hesitate a lot.

Of course, his hesitation is more because he wants to exchange the smaller cost and price for greater benefits.

If the imperial court insisted on exchanging grain for shares, then they had no choice but to obey, and they would still provide grain.

However, before that, I naturally still wondered if there was a chance that the government's decree would change him?

Regarding everyone's thoughts, Feng Quji naturally couldn't be more clear in his heart.

I don't want to pay food, I want to pay money.

"Everyone's meaning, the truth is naturally clear."

Feng Quji said slowly, "It's just that His Majesty's arrangement is like this. I'm afraid he wants more food."

That's right, anyone can see that Qin Shihuang's edict is for food.

Do you still want to exchange money?

If His Majesty does not achieve his goal, how can he give up?

"Feng Xiang, if Your Majesty wants food, you can continue to borrow it in the name of the court as before!"

"That's right... If the imperial court continues to borrow food, then we can naturally pay for it, but this is for nothing..."

"Yes, since the imperial court wants to do business, that is to do business, wouldn't it be better to buy with money?"

"Yes, yes, it's not that we don't want to deliver the food, but this year, the food has already been delivered once. Your Majesty, you have to be considerate of us, right?"

The rich and powerful insisted on saying what they said, and the court had to change their minds.

Feng Quji naturally understood their thoughts.

No matter how much food they have in their hands, if they can't make it, then they won't.

After all, this is not a loan, and it will not be doubled...

I have to say, man, after being raised greedy, if you want him to be a little less greedy, he will have great unwillingness and resentment.

"Since that's the case, let's go to court tomorrow, and I'll give it a try together."

Feng Quji sighed, this pit, they must take the lead in jumping.

On the second day, the court meeting.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will live forever."

"Three gentlemen, please stand up, all lovers, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"The imperial court has been busy recently."

Looking at the ministers, Ying Zheng said, "However, the recent major events are almost busy. I have also discussed with the Minister of Internal Affairs. Soon, the imperial court can start operations. , it will increase in vain!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, all the ministers bowed to congratulate him.

"Well, today, who has something to report?"

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, Feng Quji hesitated for a while, and came out to speak.

"Feng Xiang? Feng Xiang has handled things very well recently. I don't know what to report today?"

Looking at Feng Quji, Ying Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty, minister, it is for His Majesty's edict yesterday."

Feng Quji bowed and said, "Yesterday, His Majesty's imperial edict was passed on to the Palace of Internal History. After observing it, I feel a little uneasy in my heart."
