Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

"Lord Sheriff, I wonder how much this 'enrollment quota' costs?"

In the lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion, the excited businessmen were still excited, but the smart businessmen had already started asking about the price.

Chen Jinghui said calmly: "There is a quota of 20,000 gold coins, and each person can purchase up to three quotas. In addition, I need to remind you that the 'admission quota' of the academy only represents an opportunity. After entering the academy, the specific How far you can go depends on the student's own performance, do you understand?"

"I understand, Governor Lao has taken the trouble."

The thirty businessmen below heard Chen Jinghui's words and immediately nodded in response.

Of course they know that this purchase is just an 'opportunity', but for these businessmen, having an 'opportunity' is enough to make them satisfied.

Not to mention that this 'opportunity' only costs 20,000 gold coins.

Is twenty thousand gold coins a lot?

Speaking from my heart.

Twenty thousand gold coins is not a small amount.

Because according to the current price of food in Hanzhong, 20,000 gold coins are enough to buy 200,000 shi of food. For an ordinary farmer, two hundred thousand dan of grain is enough to feed and clothe four to five hundred people for a lifetime.

But if you use 20,000 gold coins to buy an opportunity to 'cross classes', then the money is not only not expensive, it can even be considered extremely cheap.

Because before the "free trading market" in Hanzhong was opened, the fees that merchants like them paid to supply the high-ranking officials and nobles who once protected them were already far more than this amount.

In other words, the reason why these thirty businessmen were invited to the governor's house this time was because these thirty businessmen paid the most taxes and had the best business reputation during their business in Hanzhong, so they specially gave They have such an opportunity.

Instead of thinking that Chen Jinghui was 'short of money' as what these businessmen were initially worried about, he called them over like this.

"I really didn't expect that paying more taxes would have such benefits?"

"Fortunately, it's a good thing that I didn't listen to Old Wang's words. Otherwise, I would have suffered a big loss this time."

"Haha~~ If the person named Qian knew about this, I'm afraid he would faint from crying!"

······

After understanding this, many of the merchants below were secretly grateful for a moment.

At the same time, many people thought of some of their previous partners.

People on the same path.

Many times, some gossip that the government does not know is not a secret to them.

Although today's Hanzhong has very strict supervision on "tax evasion", there are still a few people who take desperate measures and evade commercial taxes through various channels.

It wasn't like no one had invited them, and many of them had even had the idea.

After all, the commercial taxes collected by Hanzhong are not low now. If they can avoid paying taxes, it will be enough to bring them a large amount of profits out of thin air.

But in the end, these people chose to refuse due to various reasons.

At this moment, how hesitant they were when they refused, how happy they are now.

"What do you think? Do you want to buy this admission quota?" At this moment, Chen Jinghui, who was in charge, urged.

Hearing Chen Jinghui's urging, many businessmen below were suddenly startled and spoke hurriedly.

"want!"

"Of course, I will buy three places."

"The same goes for me. I also want to buy three places. But I don't have that much cash on hand now. I wonder if the county magistrate can extend it for a few days so that I can raise funds."

Since these retail merchants can be among the top thirty tax payers in Hanzhong County, the assets they each own will naturally not be a small amount.

If all their homes were confiscated, it would be conservatively estimated that the average assets of these thirty businessmen would be at least over 100,000 gold coins.

But assets are assets.

Cash is cash.

If these businessmen are asked to come up with cash at once, let alone 60,000 gold coins, it may be difficult to get even 20,000 gold coins.

And Chen Jinghui... No, to be precise, Mo Jun should have thought of this a long time ago, so facing the businessman who needed time to raise funds, Chen Jinghui directly replied: "It doesn't matter, Academy Construction is not a one-time effort, each of you has one month to raise funds."

Hearing Chen Jing's words, the eyes of a small number of businessmen who were planning their property and wondering whether to buy one quota or two suddenly brightened up.

Then they all expressed their opinions: "In this case, I also want three places."

"Add me one."

"Me too."

······

In the blink of an eye.

All the maximum 90 places promised by Chen Jinghui were sold out.

It is obviously impossible for these businessmen to take all the ninety places by themselves. After all, except for those truly wealthy businessmen, there are basically not many businessmen who can do it.

But if you can't eat it yourself, you can resell it.

Such a 'quota' can be a rare 'commodity' among merchants.

If you meet the right buyer.

Even if the asking price is 30,000, 40,000, or even 50,000, it can be sold.

Chen Jinghui naturally knew these things, but he didn't care, because his mission was to sell the "one hundred places" given to him by Lord Mo to raise enough funds.

Um!

That's right.

That’s one hundred places.

Chen Jinghui has only sold ninety of them for the time being. As for the remaining ten, Chen Jinghui plans to wait until the value of these 'places' is higher before selling them to raise more funds.

Do not misunderstand.

Chen Jinghui had no intention of grabbing these ten 'places' for himself.

First of all, Chen Jinghui himself does not like money. Before Mo Jun came to Hanzhong, Chen Jinghui accepted a lot of money in Hanzhong, but it was not his corruption, but the old aristocratic forces in Hanzhong at that time forced it on him. Yes, even Chen Jinghui couldn't refuse.

Because only by accepting these 'bribes' and leaving leverage in the hands of the old nobles can Chen Jinghui be regarded as a safe accomplice.

If Chen Jinghui had not accepted these 'bribes', then his existence would have been regarded as a threat by the old nobles, and his situation would have been even more dangerous than when Lord Mo arrived.

Secondly, it is not necessary.

Now that Chen Jinghui is in the court of Qin State, in terms of faction, he is almost considered to be on Mo Jun's side.

And Mr. Mo has always been generous to his own people. With the current earning power of [Xiongchu Mo Chamber of Commerce] and [Hanzhong County], even if Mr. Mo just casually reveals a little oil from his fingers, it will be enough to eat up Chen Jinghui.

Under this premise, Chen Jinghui did not take the risk of offending Mr. Mo by doing something where the risks were not equal to the benefits.

It didn't take long.

After receiving answers from Chen Jing, the merchants thanked him and left.

After everyone left, Chen Jinghui got up and came to the back hall.

"My lord, the matter has been settled."

In the back hall of the Sheriff's Mansion, Mr. Mo was bored and studying on his own with a chessboard. It's strange to say that Mr. Mo, who had swallowed a large amount of "Adventurer's Souls" one after another, can now be regarded as an outstanding person. Unremarkable genius.

If not.

He also cannot integrate everything he learned in his previous life, so that he can now achieve great results in business, agriculture, and martial arts.

After all, in the final analysis, Mr. Mo before time travel was just an ordinary person.

Ordinary people will not become ‘geniuses’ just because they time travel.

The reason why Mr. Mo was majored in agriculture in his previous life, but in this life he was able to make great achievements in business, and he even had some understanding of court intrigues. Although he was not good at it, he was good enough to deal with general intrigues.

Mainly because of Mo Jun's cheating.

But the strange thing is that here, Mo Jun is obviously a genius now, but why is he still a bad chess player after studying this small chessboard for nearly two months?

That’s all.

It seems that I am not in good condition today.

Hearing Chen Jinghui's voice, Mo Jun casually disrupted the chessboard on the table, then turned around and said: "Now that the funds have been raised, we can start building the academy according to my previous layout."

"Yes, I understand."

As Hanzhong developed better, Chen Jinghui admired Mr. Mo more and more.

Including this time.

After all, this is a total of 1.8 million gold coins. If it hadn't been for his own personal experience, Chen Jinghui would never have imagined that one day he would be able to raise such a large sum of money so easily.

"And one more thing."

Seeing that Mr. Mo seemed to be about to get up and leave, Chen Jinghui said quickly: "Sir, this time to raise funds, the official made the decision without authorization and only issued ninety 'places', and the remaining ten..."

Before Chen Jing finished his reply, he saw Mr. Mo who had already walked to the door and waved his hand without looking back: "Just take care of this kind of thing yourself. Don't doubt anyone. Don't doubt the employer. Since I have taken this matter I leave the matter to you, naturally because I trust you, so just let me do it."

Chen Jinghui couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he pursed his lips, bowed deeply in the direction of Mo Jun's departure, and said slowly: "I will definitely live up to your trust."

······

······

Just when Mo Jun had just raised enough funds.

the other side.

Outside the border between Qin and South Korea, a carriage slowly drove towards the border guarded by the Qin army.

"Stop, who are you?"

As soon as the carriage approached, a group of Qin soldiers wearing black armor approached, holding weapons and weapons, and asked loudly.

Hearing the shouts of the Qin soldiers, the carriage stopped slowly, and then the curtains of the carriage were opened. Then in full view, a man wearing a close-fitting flame outfit and high boots was seen. The clothes were revealing and his appearance was The charming and beautiful woman slowly walked down.

"Gulu~"

When the woman stepped off the carriage, there was obvious restlessness in the Qin army's team, and the sound of someone swallowing saliva could even be faintly heard.

But soon, the Qin army's team gradually calmed down under the scolding of a commander in front.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into our Qin territory."

Facing more than a dozen sharp swords, the seductive woman who suddenly appeared not only showed no fear at all, but instead smiled seductively at everyone and said: "My lords, my name is Yan Lingji, and the person in the carriage is a soldier sent by South Korea to Qin Dynasty." We are the 'envoys' to pay homage to the King of Qin. I wonder if you military masters can let us pass. I would like to thank you here."

Yan Lingji smiled, and the Qin army became restless again.

However, the leader of the Qin Army was unmoved, and instead his eyes flashed.

"South Korean envoy?"

Although Qin has not yet issued a clear military order to attack South Korea, judging from the recent frequent mobilization of troops within Qin, the war between Qin and South Korea is basically at a stage where it is about to break out.

At this time, South Korea actually sent an "envoy" to Qin.

No matter how you look at it, something is wrong!

"You wait here, I will inform the general."

The commander of the Qin army thought for a while, and then sent a soldier back to the city to report.

After a while.

The soldier returned and whispered a few words in the ear of the commander of the Qin army.

The commander of the Qin Army nodded, first looked at the carriage ahead and said, "You can go over."

Then he turned towards the city wall behind him and shouted loudly: "Let us go!"
