Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room

“Ladies and gentlemen, where does the cost of building this railway come from? Do you understand?”

Ying Zheng looked at the pile of memorials on the imperial court and glanced at the civil and military ministers present.

Nei Shiteng and other previous opponents looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.

Before, they had been using funds There was no reason to disagree with the Daxing Railway Project, but now, just a few days later, the replies from various counties and counties were severely slapped in the face.

Even local officials and businessmen can see the importance of the railway. It is a great irony that they, the courtiers, cannot see the need to build railways to promote economic development.

“Now, no one should continue to oppose the planning of the Daqin Railway project, right?”

Meng Yi said with a smile.

As Fusu’s direct descendants, Meng Yi and others have already consulted Fusu, and they know that the driving force behind all this comes from Fusu. The great commercial development of Daqin was created by Fusu. , Fusu has the reputation of a business sage among businessmen, and it couldn’t be easier to build momentum.

With the call from the private chamber of commerce, and the application by the local government, there is no doubt that the train fever will truly spread throughout the Qin Dynasty, making the entire Everyone in the Qin Dynasty knows the benefits of building a railway and running 10 trains. It is more effective than any propaganda method.

Everyone’s eyes can’t help but fall on Nei Shiteng and other officials from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

After all, the most determined opponents before were The portions are basically from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

“I’m not completely opposed to building railways, it’s just that the state treasury really can’t come up with so much money.”

“Now that private merchants are willing to invest, I naturally have no objection!”

Nei Shiteng, who was being watched by everyone, jumped like a rabbit with an arrow.

“Indeed, although this railway has many advantages, the cost is indeed a bit too high. Even if you have money, whether it is suitable to invest all in railway construction is still a question worthy of discussion.”

“This is not millions or tens of millions, but astronomical wealth that can easily reach tens of millions.”

Feng Jie also smiled awkwardly and said for himself

“You all still underestimate the wealth of the people of our Daqin State too much.”

“Don’t forget, the tax revenue from the treasury is only a small part of the wealth created by the Qin Dynasty. The real big part is still among the private merchants.”

“When transportation conditions do not keep up with economic development, the flow of business and trade will be restricted, and a lot of funds will be stranded. This can be seen from the increasing number of deposits in the Daqin Royal Bank.”

“At this time, use this money to build more railways and improve the infrastructure. Only then will the economy have room to continue to grow rapidly.”

“Moreover, the cost of railway construction actually returns wealth to the people in the form of construction, which is also in line with the cycle of taking from the people and using it for the people.”

Xiao He replied with a smile.

“Exactly, there is no need to mention the commercial growth in the later period. The tens of thousands of miles of railways alone can bring about one million jobs and can drive at least hundreds of thousands of families to become rich.”

“Moreover, in practice, we can train a team with comprehensive construction capabilities for our Daqin, and lay a solid foundation for our Daqin to accelerate the process of integrating into the new territory.”

“These are simply not measurable in terms of money.”

Chen Ping also followed suit.

He had studied with Fusu for a period of time, and went to counties and counties for some experience before returning to Xianyang. Therefore, he has a deep understanding of the transportation problems in remote areas of Daqin and is very clear about the strategic significance of railways.

“If only a large amount of private funds are absorbed, will the proportion of private shares in the Daqin Railway Company be too high and the influence too great?”

Nei Shiteng thought for a long time before he frowned and said.

Many courtiers’ eyes suddenly became serious.

Because they all had the same worries as Nei Shiteng.

The great commercial development of Da Qin is certainly for Da Qin. It laid the foundation for the economic take-off, but it also completely broke the old class system of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

Businessmen suddenly became a very important class from the bottom of society, which made many officials begin to worry about businessmen who pursue profit as their goal. Will having the right to speak pose a sufficient threat to the future of Daqin?

“First of all, the imperial court must have absolute control over the Daqin Railway Company.”

“No matter how much capital a businessman injects, he only has the interest of dividends and has no right to interfere with railway planning and construction.”

“Secondly, it is precisely because businessmen have too much wealth that they need to absorb these spare funds into the correct channels, which is safer.”

“Finally, railways serve the people in peacetime and the army in wartime. Without railways, the Daqin army would not be able to reach the target it needs to reach in the shortest time and form a sufficient deterrent.”

Fusu said with a faint smile.

As a time traveler, he naturally understands the threat of capital.

Although the businessmen of Daqin are very comfortable now, that is because they are still in the development stage, and the prestige of Fusu and Yingzheng is enough to suppress them. However , if there are no restrictions and the merchants are given hundreds of years to develop, and they encounter a weaker emperor, the merchants will definitely want to ask for more.

And Fusu’s response is also It’s very simple. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

First, firmly grasp the military power. Without military power, only money will not make great achievements.

And Da Qin has strict weapons restrictions.

And Fusu The degree of control over advanced technology, especially 593 technology related to military affairs, is also extremely strict.

This limits the development space of Daqin merchants to business.

The second step is to improve Daqin Commercial Law and restrict unfair business practices with strict laws. , such as monopoly, driving up market prices, and people’s livelihood industries being controlled by the imperial court, etc.

Continue the fine tradition of attaching great importance to law in Da Qin, and promote compulsory education to open up people’s wisdom.

Da Qin is an absolutely centralized imperial system. As long as there is no problem with the people, just businessmen , there would be no big turmoil at all.

Moreover, the fishing boat Fusu has always been firmly in his hands.

Except for the imperial court, the Great Qin Dynasty did not allow private citizens, especially businessmen, to set up private newspapers and media.

Fusu will not forget that the media will be Lessons learned from capital penetration[]

And in the end, in the name of the court and in the name of infrastructure construction, all the spare funds of the businessmen were used.

It not only eliminates the threat of idle funds, but also uses these funds to further strengthen Daqin’s infrastructure, drive more people to become rich, and simultaneously strengthen Xianyang City’s control over various states and counties.

Before the merchants’ capital developed, they were given enough restraints to allow them to move forward honestly and in accordance with the imperial court’s plan.

If you still dare to disobey, don’t forget that the swords, fishing boats, and people’s hearts are all in the hands of the court.

Do you really think the court can no longer raise the sword?.
