Prince Fusu's discourse on compiling the "Commercial Law" and establishing official supervision and trading markets not only aroused discussion among the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State, but also set off heated discussions among the world's wealthy merchants.

Ba Jun, a widow over 60 years old, is surrounded by the descendants of a group of family nephews and nephews, watching the canopy together.

"The head of the family, if the First Emperor really established the "Law of Commerce", wouldn't it be very restrictive to our business?".

"Look, are we going to talk to the First Emperor about our opinion?"

A young man and nephew of the Ba clan standing in front of the widow Qing looked cautiously at the head of his family, Ba Qing, and said.

The sons and nephews of the other Ba clan also looked at Ba Qing in unison, with a look of reverence in their eyes.

For them, Ba Qing is a legend of their family.

After the death of her late husband, she not only took over the family business as a woman, but also the family business became more and more prosperous and strong under her leadership.

Like the original Ba family, they are only one of the five major families in Tong County, and even when it comes to power, it can be called the last of the five major families in the ~ place.

And after decades of operation in Ba Qing, now their Ba clan is definitely the number one family power in Tong County.

For example, the number of people in the entire Tong County is only more than 50,000 people, and the number of families who are attached to their Ba clan to earn a living exceeds more than 10,000 people.

If you count the family members behind these families.

So to put it mildly, at least half of the population of the entire county is attached to their Ba clan, and they have to rely on their Ba clan for food.

Even without saying a word, they were able to casually pull up an armed young escort force of two or three thousand people in Tong County.

After all, in these years of business, if you don't have a certain amount of armed force to defend yourself.

Then not to mention those bandits and bandits in the wild, you can't even pass the level of jackals, tigers and leopards in the wild.

In addition, Ba Qing has a unique vision, and after she took over the family industry, she directly befriended Qin Guo.

Not only did he often provide all kinds of military supplies needed by the Qin State at low prices, but he even sometimes undertook part of the task of helping the Qin State find out the news of the enemy country.

Therefore, in such a situation, the Qin State still has a very good impression of their Ba clan, and the First Emperor also treats Ba Qing with courtesy.

Therefore, other businessmen may not be able to speak at the official level of Qin, but Ba Qing can speak at the official level of Qin, and can even speak directly in front of the First Emperor.

Therefore, there is any opinion on the matter of "Commercial Law", if Ba Qing has any opinions.

Then after she said it, the Qin State and the First Emperor would more or less look at her merits and consider one or two more.

Although Ba Qing is over sixty years old, his spirit is still very good, his eyes are blazing and he swept over the descendants of the family in front of him, and his voice was gentle but unquestionable:

"First, I don't care where you are, even if you are alone in your room and bed, when you call that one, you must add the honorific title of Your Majesty to me!"

"Don't think that the mountain is high and the road is far away, Ba Shi can get carried away and disrespect that person!"

"If that's the case, then sooner or later Bab will kill himself!"

"Do you understand?"

The young nephew Ba Quan, who had just spoken, immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake when he heard this:

"Yes, head of the house, I was wrong!"

The other Ba sons and nephews also spoke:

"I hear you. "

"Understood. "

"Remembered. "

......

After seeing that all the sons and nephews listened to what she said, Ba Qing nodded and continued:

"Second, there is a matter of the "Commercial Law", no matter how it is stipulated, but unless it is out of public intentions, for the good of the Qin State and for the good of His Majesty the First Emperor, it is not to make a suggestion. "

"Any other suggestion that is beneficial to our Ba Clan, or to the Shang Jia, but not to the Qin State, and not to His Majesty the First Emperor, all of them are not allowed to be spoken!"

"I, Ba Shi, want to fully support and agree with the compilation of the "Commercial Law" by the Qin State and His Majesty the First Emperor, restrain the merchants, and standardize and supervise the purchase and sale transactions!"

As soon as these words came out, all the sons and nephews of the Ba family looked at the head of the family, Ba Qing, with shocked expressions.

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the descendants of the sons and nephews, Ba Qing sighed and said:

"If you don't understand why I made this decision, then I ask you if the Qin State really decided to compile and implement the "Shang Law" to bind the Shang Jia. "

"So can we just rely on our Ba clan to oppose and resist?"

When the sons and nephews of the Ba family heard this, they all looked thoughtful.

After a long while, Ba Quan, the young nephew who spoke earlier, looked at the head of the family, Ba Qing, with a hesitant expression.

Ba Qing glanced at him, and knew what he was thinking, but it also made him really speak:

"Say what you want to say directly, today's words are only known to everyone in the hospital, and once anyone spreads it, they will be dealt with according to the family rules. "

After getting Ba Qing's permission, Ba Quan further spoke:

"It's not enough to rely on the big merchants of my Ba clan alone, so what if you contact other big businessmen from all over the world?"

"If we form an alliance of big wealthy merchants to control the world's logistics trading, at that time, I think even His Majesty the First Emperor will pay more attention to us, right?"

Ba Qing showed a look of surprise, looked at Ba Quan, and sighed deeply:

"Quan'er, I'm thinking if I kill you with a rod now, can I save the Ba clan from a catastrophe of extermination?"

Ba Quan immediately knelt down and bowed, and said with a frightened face:

"I wonder what my nephew did wrong?"

Ba Qing said in a quiet tone:

"You haven't done anything wrong now, but I'm worried you'll do something wrong in the future!"

"You said that you want to form a big wealthy merchant alliance and control the world's logistics trading, do you want to make His Majesty the First Emperor value us more?"

"Or do you want to use this to blackmail His Majesty the First Emperor?"

Pakistan Quan raised his head, even if he wanted to justify:

"I ......"

However, he was interrupted by Ba Qing shaking his head:

"You don't have to tell me what your intentions are, I just want to ask you, even if you can form the Great Wealthy Merchants Alliance, can your Great Wealthy Merchants Alliance still be as powerful as the Six Nations in the past?"

"However, the Six Kingdoms in the past were so powerful, but in the end, they also fell under the Great Qin Ruishi of the Qin State and His Majesty the First Emperor!"

"The princes of the six countries can't stop the Qin State and His Majesty the First Emperor, and the power of the Great Wealthy Business Alliance you formed is not even comparable to Korea, the weakest of the six countries in the past!"

"Why do you think that the combined power of the world's wealthy businessmen can make His Majesty the First Emperor look down on you?"

"Not to mention being able to threaten the Qin State and His Majesty the First Emperor with this!"

Speaking of this, a look of exhaustion flashed between Ba Qing's eyebrows:

"A merchant is a merchant after all, maybe our Ba clan used to respond to every call in Tong County, and even had an escort team of thousands of people, which looked majestic, thus giving you some illusions that you shouldn't have. "

"However, in the past, the Qin State destroyed the Chu State and directly dispatched an army of 600,000 troops!"

"Do you think that the escort team of our Ba clan can resist a few breaths in the face of a military force like the Qin State?"

"Even if you are asked to connect the big merchants all over the world, and even let you win over the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, how many troops can you pull out to be enemies of the Qin State and the First Emperor?"

"Is it 6,000? Or 60,000?"

"But even if you pull out 100,000 people, you can't make His Majesty the First Emperor retreat by half a point, it will only make His Majesty the First Emperor more determined to devote the strength of the whole country to destroy you!"

"When the time comes, the final fate of the Ba clan will be nothing more than being implicated by you to the point of destroying the family and destroying the clan, and there are no bones left!"

Every time Ba Qing said a word, Ba Quan, who was kneeling on the ground, turned pale.

The people of the Ba clan around looked at Ba Quan's eyes, and they were also gradually dissatisfied.

For them, they just want to do business and make money, and then enjoy life, but they don't want to confront Qin and the First Emperor at all, and they don't want to be exterminated by the Qin State and the First Emperor.

Ba Qing shook his head and sighed:

"Get up, I will say these things only once, and I will remind you only once. "

"If you can't listen to it, let me or other clansmen find out that you have the intention of colluding with other merchants, then your house will be treated as a traitor!"

"Do you understand?"

Pakistan Quan bowed his head heavily and replied:

"Got it!"

Ba Qing nodded:

"Now that you understand, get up. "

Ba Quan kowtowed again and nodded in response:

"Yes, Master. "

Then, Ba Quan got up with a pale face.

Then, Ba Qing's eyes looked up at the crown prince Fusu on the canopy again, and said in a leisurely tone:

"Moreover, compiling the "Commercial Law" and standardizing and supervising the trading of merchants is not an opportunity for my Ba clan. "

"After all, if you want to compile the "Commercial Law" and standardize and supervise the business of merchants, you must have people who are proficient in the business of businessmen. "

"And when it comes to businessmen, how many people in the world can be more proficient than me?"

"Doing business, after all, is better than being in power!"

"If I want to pass on the Ba clan better, then I can't just do business, I must go further to Xianyang as an official!"

"Only when an official is in power can he better protect my Ba clan!"

"So after the end of the canopy, I will go to Xianyang to meet His Majesty the First Emperor to see if I can earn a chance for my Ba clan to be powerful for a generation!"

"And you guys are in this period of time, all of you have memorized the "Qin Law" for me!"

"Do you hear that?"

The surrounding sons and nephews of the Ba family bowed down in unison and responded:

"Yes, Master!"

In addition to Ba Qing's thoughts, another wealthy merchant of the Qin State, Wu Shilu, who was good at animal husbandry, also had similar ideas.

In this ancient land, it has been the right standard almost since ancient times!

........ 0 0

Those who have power do not necessarily have money, but after having power, if they want to have money, they must have money.

But on the other hand, people who have money do not necessarily have power, and even if they want to have power, they may not be able to have it.

It is even possible that because you are too rich, you will be eaten by the powerful.

Therefore, as long as you are a businessman who really has a long-term vision, after accumulating your wealth to a certain extent, you will begin to seek the realization of money and power.

For example, use money to open the way for your own power, so that you can walk more smoothly in your career.

For example, if you directly choose to take refuge or affiliation with a powerful person, although you don't really hold power, you can borrow some power under the power of the fox and the tiger.

However, there are also some big merchants who don't have such a long-term vision, or big merchants who are themselves hostile to the Qin State.

At this moment, he looked at it with a look of resistance, and the "Commercial Law" mentioned by the prince Fusu on the canopy and the regulation of supervising the business business.

For example, the Kong clan of Wanxian County, whose ancestors were from the Liang country, were engaged in iron smelting.

After the Qin State attacked the Wei State, the Kong clan was moved to Nanyang.

After that, the Kong family of Wanxian County operated the smelting and casting industry on a large scale, and planned to open up fish ponds for fish farming, and the carriages and horses were in groups.

And often visited the princes, so as to seek the convenience of doing business and making a fortune, and even won the reputation of the idle son of the good name.

It's just that now this idle boy is looking up at the sky, and his face is very ugly.

For another example, the Shudi Zhuo clan, whose ancestors were from the Zhao State, also got rich by smelting iron.

When Qin defeated Zhao, when the Zhuo clan was migrated, the Zhuo clan was taken captive, and only the husband and wife pushed the cart to the place of migration.

The other people who were relocated at the same time, with a little extra money, vied with each other to give it to the officials in charge, begging to move to a nearby place, which was in Jiameng County.

Only Zhuo Shi said: "The place is small, the land is barren, I heard that under the Wenshan Mountain is a fertile field, the ground grows big taro, shaped like a crouching bird, people will not starve until death." The people there were good at trading and easy to trade. "

So he asked to move to a distant place, and as a result, he was moved to Linqiong, and he was very happy, so he melted iron and cast machinery in the mountains where there were iron mines, and carefully planned and calculated, and overwhelmed the inhabitants of the Yunnan and Shu regions with wealth, so as to get rich and have as many as 1,000 slaves.

He enjoyed hunting and playing in the pastoral pool, and his wealth was comparable to that of a king.

It's just that at this moment, the Zhuo family, whose wealth is comparable to that of the king of a country, also frowned deeply.

There were other big businessmen from all over the world, such as the Wankong clan, the Cao Bing clan, the Li clan, and so on, looking at the information revealed by the canopy, and thinking about the possible reactions and actions of the one who lived in Xianyang City.

Or find a way to see if you can take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit, or find a way to see if you can stop it for some reason.
