Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

“This way of commerce and the power of merchants should indeed be firmly controlled by the imperial court and should not be allowed to be left unchecked.”

After listening to Fusu’s introduction, Ying Zheng also nodded in agreement and said

“In fact, the power of businessmen is not as terrifying as imagined. After all, the people of Qin have become wise. The real majority are ordinary people. We only need to guide the interests of the vast majority of people to be consistent with the imperial court.”

“Today, farmers still account for the largest proportion of the common people, and thanks to many agricultural subsidies and visible growth channels, today’s farmers are extremely supportive of the royal family.”

“The workers who were transformed from farmers are growing rapidly and will become the mainstream in the future. They also benefited from the imperial court and are very grateful to the royal family.”

“This large-scale railway development and construction is an excellent opportunity for the development of craftsmen.”

“At present, many projects and workshops in Daqin have trained more than two million craftsmen with primary skills through skill training and on-the-job training, which is close to 10% of the total population of Daqin.”

“These people rely on their professional skills to earn much higher wages than farming, so they have begun to completely break away from farm work and become the craftsman class.”

“And their children, influenced by them, will inevitably become more active in learning science and technology knowledge and embark on the road of working.”

“However, this level of craftsmanship is still far from enough for the current Da Qin.”

“If you want to build a thousand-mile railway, you need at least one million more workers with a certain construction foundation, plus hundreds of thousands of engineering exploration and design personnel, as well as R&D and equipment operators in supporting industries.”

“Not only is it difficult to manufacture a steam engine, its maintenance is also a major subject, and even its operation requires a considerable foundation.”

“Moreover, no matter how advanced the machinery is, it will gradually become outdated as time goes by. Therefore, people still need to make continuous improvements and upgrades based on the problems encountered in actual use.”

“For the imperial court, commerce is a pool that provides funds, and industrial development is what Daqin hopes to raise in this pool.”

“The growth of industrial koi will, in turn, increase the attractiveness of the pool and breed more funds, forming a virtuous cycle that will ultimately promote the development of Daqin.”

“As long as he firmly controls the general trend, no matter how big a businessman is, he is just a lucky man who takes advantage of the trend. If he really goes against the interests of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Fa will naturally take care of it, and the people will support him. Fusu said with a faint smile.

“Fusu, you should look further ahead. This strategy is indeed the best one.”

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

People in the world thought that Ying Zheng didn’t like business. In fact, Ying Zheng just didn’t like power outside the control of the imperial court.

Because the previous businessmen actually did many bad things that were contrary to the interests of the Qin Dynasty.

However , Later, the great commercial development promoted by Fusu made Yingzheng see the necessity of commerce.

However, as the first emperor of Qin, Yingzheng was always wary of business.

With his and Fusu’s prestige, he naturally did not fear businessmen. Earth-shaking.

But Ying Zheng could not guarantee that the later emperors of Qin would have enough deterrence.

But now that Fusu has introduced equal emphasis on industry and commerce, revitalizing science and technology, benefiting all people, and using people’s hearts and laws to check and balance business, Ying Zheng finally made it possible for Ying Zheng to He breathed a sigh of relief.

The courtiers were all extremely impressed.

Sure enough, His Highness the Crown Prince had enough knowledge about business that he dared to develop business, and he could see and think much further than them.

“The old ministers admire His Highness’ talent!”

“Now that all worries are gone, this railway should indeed be repaired more, but it cannot be repaired indiscriminately. There must be a priority.”

“Moreover, the veteran suggested that regardless of whether it has the right to speak or not, the imperial court still has an absolute controlling stake in the Daqin Railway Company. Even if it means paying a little more interest, it is worth it.”

Neishiteng pondered for a long time and saluted Fusu.

“Why should interest be paid? The imperial court used technology to invest in the Daqin Railway Company. The steam engine and railway technology were both controlled by the Daqin Engineering Institute.”

“According to the prince’s proposal, the first batch of 10% shares can be issued at a price of 30 million yuan, which is enough to start the three railway projects from Xianyang to Jiangnan, Xianyang to Liaodong and Xianyang to Persia.”

Fusu said with a smile.

“Will businessmen be willing to pay such a high price?”(To read cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Feng Jie blurted out subconsciously.

This is thirty million dollars!

“Why not?”

“Don’t forget, the technology is only available to the imperial court now. If they want the railway, they have to accept the imperial court’s pricing. They have no choice.”

“Moreover, railway is a one-time investment, and it is a rare good project with stable reporting in the long term.”[]

“.This is only in the mainland of Daqin. Outside the mainland, this price will at least double!”

Fusu said calmly

“In addition to the mainland of Qin, could His Highness also want to issue railway shares in areas such as Seleucid and Persia?”

Li Sileng was stunned for a moment and said.

“Of course, this is the railway from Xianyang City to Persia. Once it is completed, the carrying capacity of the Overland Silk Road will directly increase at least dozens of times, and countless businessmen will benefit from it.”

“As for why the price has doubled, the reason is very simple. The foundation of the Western Region is too backward and there are many Gobi mountains, so the construction cost is inherently higher.”

“And don’t underestimate the powerful people in these areas. Although they are not very good at business, many nobles have hundreds of years of savings, and they are full of gold and silver. If they don’t use it to build railways for Daqin, it would be a waste. Fusu said in a deep voice.

All the officials looked at each other and then all sighed in admiration.

(Everyone in the court is naturally very clear about the core purpose of building the Xianyang-Persian County railway.

That was to strengthen Xianyang City’s control over the newly incorporated lands in the Western Region.

Especially places like Seleucid which are being integrated.

However, when Fusu explained this, it became a favor from the imperial court in order to revitalize the development of the newly included areas.

Moreover, it also absorbed more than half of the unstable wealth in the local area, and tied these investing nobles to Great Qin’s chariot.

This method is really clever.

Nei Shiteng and others felt relieved.

With His Highness Fusu here, their worries were completely in vain.

They just need to do their job conscientiously and implement Fusu’s plan in place.

Ying Zheng was extremely satisfied.

With Fusu here, the great Qin Dynasty finally saw the real dawn!.
