Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

Xianyang City, Imperial Palace.

Ying Zheng, who had been reviewing the memorials for a day, walked out of the imperial study and looked at the sunset that had not yet completely set. He couldn’t help but have a smile on his face.

As the responsibilities of the three provinces and six ministries were refined, more basic affairs were assigned, Yingzheng’s workload was also reduced a lot, and he could finally have some free time every day.

After looking in the direction of the courtyard door, the smile on Ying Zheng’s face became even stronger.

“Little Anping, when he saw his imperial grandfather, he smiled!”

Ying Zheng happily looked at Xiao Xin’er in Gong Shuyue’s arms, with a kind expression on his face.

Xiao Xin’er waved her little hand with a babbling sound, which immediately made Ying Zheng feel very happy.

“Fusu, why did you think of going to the palace to see your father today?”

Ying Zheng asked with a smile while teasing his little granddaughter.

“During this time, I have been busy organizing medical books on maternal and child care. Not only did I just finish my work, I sent the completed manuscript to my father.

Fusu smiled and took out a thick medical book and handed it to Ying Zheng and said,”This is for our little Xiner, and for all the mothers and babies in Daqin.”���Where’s the gift?”

“good!”

Ying Zheng flipped through it casually. In addition to medical content and annotations, the book also has various vivid illustrations. Even a person like Ying Zheng who has only a little dabble in medical knowledge can see the general outline. Compared with The medical classics previously collected in the palace were much more powerful.

“By the way, what is this?”

Ying Zheng suddenly discovered that there was a strange drawing sandwiched in the middle of the book, and he suddenly said curiously

“This is called a stethoscope. Its function is to amplify the sound. If you stick it to the corresponding part, you can hear the sounds of the internal organs, which can help the doctor better diagnose the disease in the body.”

“Now, isn’t Daqin organizing doctors from medical clinics to go to counties and villages to conduct inspections? If there is a stethoscope to assist, the efficiency will definitely be improved a lot. Fusu explained with a smile.

“So good!”

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

The improvement of medical standards is an important tool for improving the satisfaction of the people of Daqin, and is also the key to the long-term governance of Daqin.

Especially the health of pregnant women and newborns is directly related to the growth rate of Daqin’s population..

And the population is the top priority for the Qin Dynasty to ensure that the sun never sets on the empire.

The reason why the Qin Dynasty has temporarily slowed down the pace of expanding its territory to the Western Regions is that in addition to the fact that the Suez Grand Canal has not yet been completed and cannot enter the Mediterranean, An important reason is that if the expansion is too fast, it will be difficult to maintain the absolute dominance of the Qin people.

The absolute population advantage of the main ethnic group is of extremely important significance to the stability of the Qin Empire.

“By the way, the New World exploration fleet has already set off. Regarding construction funds, Fusu, do you have any thoughts?”

After chatting for a while, Ying Zheng habitually returned to the topic in the court.

For the exploration and development of the New World, the important ministers of Great Qin are relatively supportive.

After all, this is an extremely huge and fertile area. Not to mention the massive mineral deposits above, even the land is enough to attract people’s attention.

Although Daqin is relatively sparsely populated now, the population will always grow.

According to Fusu’s goal, Daqin will be destroyed within a hundred years. The population has grown to more than 1.5 billion.

It is absolutely right to occupy more land in advance.

Moreover, this is an unowned land, and it does not have the troubles that the aborigines in the Western Regions have that are difficult to deal with.

The only problem is household ownership. Neishiteng, the Minister of the Ministry, said with a depressed look that the treasury was going to be empty again.

Although Daqin’s treasury revenue is now booming, its expenditures are also greater. Many projects are being constructed at the same time, so even if Neishiteng tries his best to operate, he can only maintain A relatively balanced state.

If you want to carry out large-scale investment and development in the New World thousands of miles away, it is really beyond your ability.

“Are there any financing plans proposed by various departments?”

Fusu asked.

“It’s nothing more than a loan from Daqin Royal Bank, or continuing to issue bonds”

“However, both of them have to bear a lot of interest, and the New World is still too far from the mainland of Daqin. The payback cycle will be quite long, which will easily delay the construction of the mainland. All departments are still considering it. Ying

Zheng smiled and said:”Fusu, you are recognized as a business sage in Da Qin. You must be able to come up with a solution, right?””

The entire Qin Dynasty has great trust in Fusu’s ability as the God of Wealth. Therefore, whether it is the courtiers or Ying Zheng, the first thought when they are short of money is to find Fusu.

“Since the interest rate is too high, then think of a way to avoid interest rate.”

Fusu said with a smile, this question is difficult for the courtiers, but for Fusu, it really couldn’t be easier.

“If you don’t want interest, could it be that Fusu wants Da Qin Royal Bank to give you an interest-free loan?”

“But isn’t this inconsistent with the previously established regulations?”

Ying Zheng said in confusion.

In order to avoid abusing the deposits of Daqin Royal Bank and damaging the bank’s reputation, Daqin also formulated corresponding regulations. Even if the treasury borrows money from the bank, interest must be paid. Although the interest rate is lower than that of market loans. Much more, but the development of the New World can easily start with tens of millions of dollars, and the interest is definitely not a small figure.

“Loans from banks are just the first means of financing.”

“A higher level is to upgrade the bank to a bank and directly replace the gold, silver and copper coins with money notes. At that time, all you need to do is print more money notes.”

“However, for the current Daqin, it will take some time to operate, and it will easily lead to foreign depositors exchanging their savings back, so they will not consider it for the time being.”

“The method Erchen is currently adopting is to form a New World Development Co., Ltd., publicly issue shares, and raise funds from the entire Daqin. Fusu said with a slight smile.

If you want to increase the enthusiasm of the people of Daqin for the development of the New World, there is no more practical thing than shares that are related to your own income.

And with the rapid development of Daqin’s business, there are more and more spare funds among the people. , the demand for financial management methods is getting higher and higher.

This can be seen from the extent of bonds being snatched up.

Da Qin has reached the point in time when it can start to issue stocks.

Not only can the common people of Da Qin have investment channels, but the court will not Sufficient funds can be obtained by paying interest, and it can also increase people’s attention to the New World. It can be said to be a real win-win.

And there is also a very successful example of this in later history.

That is the East of the British Empire. Tianzhu Company.
