The Qin Dynasty opened the Hengqu Four Sentences, sweeping away all the schools of thought

Zhangtai Palace.

"Sir, you are finally back." Seeing Su Xuan walking into the palace, Ying Zheng smiled and stood up to greet him. He took his hand and the two sat down together. "With you here, my worries are all gone."

Su Xuan was slightly stunned, and then asked, "I wonder what worries the king?"

"I intend to conquer the Huns, but there is not enough money and food in the national treasury, so it is difficult to continue. Please teach me, sir." Ying Zheng looked sincere and asked humbly.

"Why doesn't the king seek advice from the wise men and learn from their strengths to overcome his weaknesses?" A hint of doubt flashed across Su Xuan's eyes. There were so many capable and wise ministers in the court. Logically speaking, this matter should be easily resolved.

Ying Zheng shook his head, "Too slow."

Su Xuan suddenly thought of a classic line from later generations: How to relieve worries? The only way is to get rich quickly!

And the fastest way to get rich quickly is to plunder!

If all the money in the hands of the rich businessmen is collected and brought into the national treasury, the national treasury will naturally be filled.

What is needed now is a reasonable and legal way to confiscate (swindle) the money from them.

As for other ways to make money, are there any? Yes, there are!

Using the empire's credit as collateral, they issued war bonds and used high interest rates to attract people to buy them.

Special trade zones were opened in coastal areas, and land and goods were leased to wealthy businessmen. Now that the Qin State was vigorously developing maritime trade, wealthy businessmen with vision would surely see the horrific profits contained therein.

Of course, it is still in the early stages of development and the results are not expected to be very good.

He told Ying Zheng his thoughts.

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up as he listened and he was secretly amazed.

The Qin people are warlike by nature, and issuing war bonds to share the war proceeds, in a sense, means that if they participate in this war, they will feel proud of it. This is a move that will make the entire Qin state work together!

He could already imagine the scene where people would rush to buy war bonds once they were issued.

And the idea of ​​opening a money shop is even more amazing!

They only accept large deposits and use super high interest rates to attract wealthy businessmen to invest. They provide fixed rebates every month, allowing the wealthy businessmen to increase their stakes step by step. When the harvest is almost complete, they run away with the money.

As for how to attract wealthy businessmen to invest, Su Xuan also mentioned it clearly, which is to create a passionate atmosphere and find people of status to take the lead in investing. If the royal relatives have invested, and you don’t invest, aren’t you being disrespectful?

The greed of the human heart is hard to estimate.

You are thinking about getting the interest, but others are thinking about your principal. Even if they know there is a problem, many people still hold on to hope.

During the Warring States Period, the annual interest rate of usury was between 50% and 100%. Ying Zheng decided to raise the interest rate to the maximum. Not only would he issue the loans domestically, he would also send people to other countries such as Rome to issue them.

The boss behind the scenes sets them up as people from the Roman Empire. When the wealthy businessmen, royal relatives, and court officials find out that the bank has run away with the money, will they be willing to have most of their wealth swallowed up?

Rest and recuperate?

Ah!

I am afraid that each of them is more enthusiastic than him. When the time comes to attack Rome, these people may contribute money and manpower, and then be grateful to the empire.

Ying Zheng found it interesting just by thinking about it.

As for the psychological burden of harvesting these people? Absolutely not!

Under the whole world, could it be the king's soil, the shore of the land, could it be the king's minister!

That money came from Qin, so it should be used for Qin! This is their honor!

For those who are blinded by interests, teaching them a lesson may be a good thing for them.

After this incident, the empire can begin to address the chaos in domestic lending, formulate corresponding laws and regulations, limit the maximum interest rate of private lending, and reduce the burden on the people.

It can be said that one fish has three dishes!

Only you, sir, can come up with such a brilliant idea!

It's so wonderful!

Ying Zheng looked pleased and clapped his hands in praise.

"Your Majesty, I will leave Qin soon and go to the fairy island overseas to practice." Su Xuan sighed. After a thousand days together, there will be a farewell. "I will leave a clone to guard Qin."

The smile on Ying Zheng's face gradually faded.

"Sir, your current cultivation level is not much different from the legendary immortals, right?" Ying Zheng looked at Su Xuan and asked seriously, "Sir, if you practice cultivation wholeheartedly, can you achieve immortality?"

"Yes." Su Xuan looked at his life span column and gave an affirmative answer.

"If you rule the world while practicing, can you achieve immortality?" Ying Zheng asked again.

"As long as you have hope and move forward towards your goal unswervingly, nothing is impossible." Su Xuan made an analogy, "Believe first, then see, and then have. Just like the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty, the reason why they worked hard to govern the country was because they believed that the Qin Dynasty could sweep the world and unify the world, right?"

"I understand." Ying Zheng smiled with relief, "As long as we are on the right path, even if we don't reach the end, what does it matter?"

"That only means that this is my fate."

"If one day, I do something against the will of heaven and earth in order to achieve immortality, please stop me, sir." His expression was sincere, without a trace of falsehood.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much." Su Xuan took out the technique he had obtained by signing in and handed it to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty can practice this technique to refine the energy of the dragon veins, obtain an immortal body, and achieve an immortal dragon soul."

Ying Zheng looked intently, and a martial arts book called "The True Art of Controlling Dragons" appeared in his sight.

It is obvious that this set of exercises was specially prepared for him by the master!

I have to say that heroes always respect each other, and he and the gentleman have surprisingly similar ideas.

"I have prepared a little surprise for you, sir." Ying Zheng smiled mysteriously and clapped his hands, "Someone come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, young girls came in one after another, some with their faces covered with veils, some wearing colorful ribbons, with beautiful and voluptuous figures, their complexion like the morning glow reflected on the snow, and they were all graceful and charming. They were all the most beautiful women in the world.

Su Xuan was a little confused. No, what was he going to do?

"Sir, when you go to the fairy island overseas, you should have some maids to serve you. These beauties are sent to you." Ying Zheng chuckled, "If you find any that catch your eye, you may favor one or two. This is also their blessing!"

Su Xuan looked at the many beauties in front of him and felt dazzled.

He felt like he was going blind!

He took a quick look around, and when he saw a figure, his gaze paused.

She had white hair in a bun, bangs on her forehead, and wore a white Taoist robe with ink patterns. She had a calm temperament and a cold gaze, and seemed out of place with the women around her.

She has the aura of a grandmaster and is very calm.

This is Bai Muzhen from Wuxiang City?

"Zhao Gao, who is this woman?" Ying Zheng naturally noticed this scene and asked.

"Your Majesty, this girl is the daughter of a noble from the State of Wei, and her name is Bai Muzhen." Zhao Gao answered truthfully.

A noble of the Wei Kingdom? In that case, she is most likely Xiaomeng's mother.

Su Xuan's eyes moved. Ying Zheng had given him so many beauties, it would not be nice not to accept any of them. He had to show some appreciation.

Decide on one first!
