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

The imperial court wants to spend tens of millions of dollars to help them start some small industries and make them make money?

seriously?

"Master Bing, what do you mean? We, why didn't we hear clearly for a while?"

A farmer suddenly asked excitedly, "Is this money from the court, the eldest son, or the Marquis of Chang'an?"

"Well, the court asked the Marquis of Chang'an to give the money, and the Eldest Prince is responsible for presiding over this matter."

After hearing this, the official officer explained, "In total, it's tens of millions!"

"Here, tens of millions of money, isn't it going to be given to us?"

"It's specific, everyone, you can ask one or two questions at the banks in Xianyang. For this matter, the eldest son entrusts the banks to operate in different levels."

That's right, Fusu, under Chen Ping's suggestion, let Qian Zhuang participate in this matter at the same time.

After all, this matter is more like his own matter first, but at the same time, it is also the court's matter.

Moreover, before and after, money has to be used.

Therefore, it is much more convenient for the bank to be responsible for the assistance.

After all, the national bank of the imperial court deals directly with money.

"Then, Lord Bing, the imperial court is really willing to give us money?"

When the common people heard this, their faces were full of surprises, but they were also mixed with doubts and couldn't believe it.

After all, I have never heard of such a good thing before!

Is this the court wanting to give money, or is the court asking them for money? This can't be mistaken, giving money for nothing to start an industry?

Is there such a good thing in the world?

"Of course this is true. The court said that the Marquis of Chang'an will contribute tens of millions of dollars to start a business for everyone, so that everyone can have income during the slack time, so as to subsidize their families!"

"Huh? Really?"

After getting the confirmation, the people suddenly burst into ecstasy.

The court gave money?

No, it was the Marquis of Chang'an who gave the money?

Tut tut...

This is really a good thing!

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and my heart was full of excitement.

If you can get the money...

Many of them were thinking for a while.

Do business work?

They are not good at this!

Instead, I can use this sum of money to find a way to get more food!

After all, there is no edible food for anything.

Anyway, the money is given to me, so it belongs to me. It's not too much to get some food for myself, right?

of course……

This kind of thinking can never be said to be wrong, and it must not be judged as short-sighted.

Because, first of all, they are really not good at this kind of entrepreneurial work.

Second, and more importantly, they do need some food more.

The thing that affected the ancient people the most, besides food, was food.

Only those who have really been hungry know how desperate it is to be hungry and not find food or wait for food.

Those who do not eat cannot survive.

And people who don't have enough to eat can't live a solid life. This is the simplest truth.

So, people, under such deep worries, can they live comfortably?

Of course it's impossible!

Chapter 535 People's Survival Is Instinctive

If it's okay in peacetime, occasionally in a disaster year, everyone will starve together, and there won't be many people who starve to death.

However, if you encounter troubled times again, it will be extremely hopeless!

With the advent of troubled times, hundreds of thousands, 10,000+ or ​​even hundreds of thousands of people will die in the army, which can already cause a great shock.

but!

In troubled times, the number of people dying is the most exaggerated.

In just eight years at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the population dropped by 2000 million, from 3000 million to about 1000 million. In just eight years, so many people died. Two of three people died. How exaggerated?

Not all of them were killed directly because of the war, but were killed by the chaos of war.

When fighting a war, soldiers consume a lot of food.

After all, food is the purest consumable. After you eat your last meal, you have to think about your next meal.

As for the soldiers and horses of the princes everywhere, a big event is to rob all food as follow-up materials.

So in troubled times, basically all the princes would rob the people of food.

Because if you don't grab your opponent, you will grab it and use it as your own war capital.

Therefore, you can rob him as well. If it is the time of autumn harvest, basically all the food in the common people's fields will be targeted by people from all walks of life before it falls into their own homes.

During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he took the opportunity to snatch food.

The book says it is to prevent the Wei army from harvesting grain, but the grain belongs to the local people. After you harvest it, what else do the local people eat?

Therefore, it seems that the Shu Han is very righteous, but after a detailed analysis, it is basically the same.

Naturally, the court of Cao Wei had to allocate more food from the treasury to calm these people because of this. Ordinarily, these people would starve to death.

So, it's a political struggle.

Of course, there were many such things in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

Basically, Daqin did a lot, such as Zhao Weihan, especially Wei Guo, this is the strategy.

With his own military advantage, he will attack aggressively while the opponent is harvesting.

If you are busy with the battle, then you will not be able to reap the food.

If you are busy buying food, then you will not have enough troops to fight.

After all, at that time, civilian husbands were also needed to fight wars.

Moreover, even if Daqin can't take the opportunity to snatch this batch of grain, he will at least destroy it, which will cost you a lot.

In this way, the food you should have has disappeared, and the victims of the disaster that you should not have have.

Over time, your national strength will naturally no longer be able to compete with Great Qin.

However, the unique military system and household registration system developed by the Great Qin Dynasty because of Shang Yang's reform, even if the army is fighting in the front, there are still enough labor forces in the rear to take care of agriculture.

Therefore, such a battle, as long as the casualties in front are not particularly large, then basically, it can be maintained.

This is the advantage of the system...

Of course, having said that, this is actually what war means to the common people.

Delay your farming time, rob your food, and even destroy your farmland directly because of the war, so that you dare not farm, let alone harvest.

How can people survive without food?

Therefore, in just eight years, because all parts of the country were fighting, a full 2000 million people were affected and died.

Basically, the melee at the end of each dynasty was such a catastrophe.

The feudal lords competed for hegemony, and the people suffered, and even suffered devastating blows. Many villages, and even contiguous city walls, starved and died everywhere, leaving them barren.

Countless families and clans have disappeared forever because of this.

War is never a joke.

It is precisely because of the fear of war and chaos that these people are more eager for food.

If he kept a few more buckets of grain in his hands, then maybe the whole family would save one person from starving to death, or, at least, save a single seedling to survive!

After all, there is a saying that if parents starve to death, they will not eat grain.

This sentence is not a joke, but a description of bloody history.

Therefore, when the people have some resources that can be exchanged in their hands, how could they not think about exchanging some food?

No matter when, the desire to survive must be the most basic and strongest.

"Okay, if you are willing to find out, then go to the money houses in Xianyang City and ask about it."

The officials said, "This money, but there is a total amount. If everyone else wants to do it, and you are slow to respond, then it may be gone. If you want to go, hurry up!"

Hiss?

It is!

After being reminded by these officers and soldiers, the common people were shocked immediately, you look at me, I look at you, then immediately lifted the hakama, turned around and left.

That's right, what a pity if such a good opportunity is missed?

however……

When they rushed to the bank excitedly one by one, after careful questioning, they realized that it was not the same thing as they had imagined.

What direct money?

This is simply not possible!

This matter is for the common people to form groups of three or four to jointly establish industries.

After that, the imperial court will give them some money, but more money will be used to directly help them buy materials.

Therefore, to help them start a business.

Instead of giving a lot of money directly...

After receiving such a reply, many people were somewhat disappointed in their hearts.

Alas, I thought that I could directly get a large sum of money?

Therefore, immediately, some people hesitated.

And when they learned that the money might have to be returned in the future, some people backed down.

Do you have to return the money?

After working for a long time, isn't it for nothing?

We don't know how to do business, so can we still get this money?

Don't fold your meager belongings into it when the time comes.

but……

Feng Zheng naturally expected such a thing.

After all, it is instinctive for the people to feel anxious and puzzled.

Ever since, Feng Zheng sent some people from Chang'an Township to guide them in various banks.

Chapter 536 Vulnerable groups, make way for powerful groups to survive

"The court gave money to operate it? Is there such a good thing? Then I have to ask for it!"

"Dude, are you sure this is a good thing?"

A commoner next to him heard this, and couldn't help asking, "The money will have to be paid back at that time. Can you manage it? If you lose a little by then, you will lose all the food in your family, but you won't be able to survive." down!"
