Seeing the thoughtful expressions of Ying Zheng and the ministers in the government and the public, Fusu took advantage of the victory and said,"I would like to ask you another question. As a common people, what is the life they look forward to most?"

"This old man knows that it is nothing more than having enough food and clothing, having his own yard, marrying a wife and having children, having wine and meat for meals, and still having some money left over."

Dun Ruo replied

"Very good, then I would like to ask you, do you need money to build a yard, marry a wife, buy wine and meat?

Seeing everyone nodding, Fusu asked:"Then where will this money come from?""

"this……"

All the courtiers looked at each other and were stumped.

Finally, Ying Zheng spoke:"If people want to make money, they have to sell their harvests."

"That's right, then does this sales harvest need to be purchased by someone?"

"Selling and acquiring, isn’t this the way of a businessman? Fusu asked with a smile.

"this……"

Ying Zheng stopped talking.

This son is really good at getting around things, and he got himself involved right away.

However, Fusu has gone through so many detours, fully demonstrating that in order for the people to live a better life, the way of merchants must exist.

"Since His Highness raised this matter, there must be a solution, right?"

The Prime Minister on the right, Feng Quji, stroked his beard and said.

He has always been at odds with Li Si, and now that he sees Li Si being refuted by Fusu, he is naturally in a good mood.

And who doesn't know that Fusu's position as Crown Prince has been extremely stable, and Feng Quji I also want to take the opportunity to show my goodwill.

"The reason why you have always misunderstood the way of being a merchant is that, to put it bluntly, you still don’t understand what a merchant is!"

"The way of a merchant may be difficult to say, but it is actually very simple even if it is said to be simple. It is nothing more than using money as a medium to allow goods to flow."

"To be specific, we can give you an example. Fusu took out a Qin half a tael of copper coins, and took down four items, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, from Ying Zheng's desk. He distributed them to Ying Zheng, Feng Quji, Li Si and Meng Yi respectively, saying:"Just take this Take the most common items as an example, assuming the price is one yuan."

"Then, could Fusu use this money in some way and turn it into a lot of money?"

Ying Zheng asked curiously

"The father guessed it right, and the purpose of his son is to turn this money into a lot of literature!"

Fusu said confidently

"How is this possible? Could it be that His Highness is able to create magical powers out of thin air?"

Li Si looked unbelieving.

"Whether it is possible or not, please wait and see. Fusu smiled and said:

"For example, now, I buy a pen from my father for one penny, and my father gets one penny, and my son owns a pen, right?"

"Yes, I do have a lot of money in my hands."

Ying Zheng looked at Qin Banliang in his hand, nodded and said

"So if the father now uses this money to buy a piece of ink from Feng Xiang, the money will go into the hands of Feng Xiang, and the father will have an extra piece of ink."

Fusu smiled and put a dollar in front of Feng Quji, but gave the ink to Ying Zheng. A light suddenly flashed in front of everyone's eyes, as if they understood something, but they couldn't understand the mystery and interest. But it has been greatly improved

"Next, if Feng Xiang uses this money to buy a piece of paper with Li Xiang,"

"Li Xiang used the money he had to buy an inkstone with Doctor Meng. The money went into Doctor Meng's hands, and Feng Xiang and Doctor Meng got an extra piece of paper and an inkstone respectively. Do you understand now?"

Looking at everyone's still half-informed expressions, Fusu smiled and explained:"In this process, everyone seemed to have only paid one money, but they all got another money, and then used this money to get what they wanted. thing"

"In other words, this money actually generated a lot of cash flow during the merchants' transactions. The more transactions, the higher the flow rate!"

And the imperial court's commercial taxes are collected based on running water. Does this money generate a lot of money value?"

"However, if this money is placed in the treasury, it will always be worth nothing, and it may even become worthless due to reasons such as rust!"

At this time, Ying Zheng, Feng Quji and others suddenly fell into deep thought and kept looking at the items in their hands and the copper plates on the table.

After a long time, Ying Zheng was the first to come back to his senses and said with emotion:"It turns out that a small businessman also has such profound principles!"

"A mere amount of money, circulated several times, creates a lot of value!"

"Before, I and all the officials actually looked down on merchants, which is really a pity!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister also understands that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means is that the common people obtained the first money by selling their harvest to merchants; however, this money will soon be used by the common people to go to other merchants to buy what they want. The merchants who receive the money will also buy other necessities. The faster the money flows, the higher the turnover will be, and the higher the court's business tax will be.

Among them, the people used the extra harvest to obtain various daily necessities, and their happiness increased; the merchants made money through various transactions.

The imperial court also collected more business taxes, and everyone was happy!

Nei Shiteng, who had been puzzled by the insufficiency of the national treasury and consulted Fusu many times, was the first to suddenly realize it.

His face was full of excitement.

If business could flourish, would he still need to worry about insufficient revenue from the treasury?

"But this businessman is a man of many tricks. If he doesn't control it, accidents will happen easily!"

Li Si gritted his teeth and finally retracted the last half of his sentence.

However, everyone present was smart. Naturally, it was who Li Si was hesitant to say.

It was the former prime minister of the Qin Dynasty who made his fortune as a merchant. Lu Buwei.

Nei Shiteng, Meng Yi and others couldn't help but worry again.

Lu Buwei has always been a taboo in Ying Zheng's heart. This matter won't get dirty again.

However, Ying Zheng just waved his hand and looked at Fusu Road :"What Li Si said, Fusu, do you have any countermeasures?""

"It's very simple, just issue relevant laws"

"As long as the merchants are allowed to act within the scope allowed by the law, there will be no big problems, and instead, the revenue of the state treasury will flourish."

"not to mention. Fusu glanced at Ying Zheng and said:"

As long as the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment and recognize our Great Qin in their hearts, even if a few unjust people collude with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, how much trouble can they cause?""

"I'm afraid that before the uprising even started, they would be wiped out by the angry people."

"On the contrary, if it does not develop commerce and make the people rich and the country strong, Da Qin will not have the energy to expand outward."

"If we don't expand externally, do we have to wait for foreign dynasties such as Macedonia, Rome, and the Mauryan Dynasty to become stronger and attack our Qin Dynasty?"

Fusu used his last trick.

He knew very well that ever since he took out the world map, unifying the world and the whole world, including Qin, has become Ying Zheng's ultimate goal.

Compared with this grand goal, what is it? The remnants of the Six Kingdoms, no matter how small businessmen, would not be taken seriously by Ying Zheng.
