Daqin: Prince Wushuang, Flattening the Confucian School at the Start

"Grand Canal?"

Yingzheng pondered for a long time.

The importance of water transportation, as the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, has naturally studied:

When Daqin failed to attack Baiyue for the first time, in addition to the coach Tu Wei underestimating the enemy, a large part of the reason was because of the dense water network in the south and the many rainy seasons, land transportation was really unsustainable.

In order to speed up the capture of Baiyue, the first emperor directly recruited civilians to build an artificial canal that ran through the Xiangjiang and Lijiang Rivers. After the Ling Canal was hewn, logistical supplies were much smoother, and the second attack on Baiyue was quick-and he won a complete victory.

It also greatly supplemented the irrigation of the canal area, adding a million acres of good paddy fields to Daqin.

However, the Lingqu is only hundreds of miles long. At the beginning, more than a hundred thousand civilians and tens of thousands of craftsmen were recruited. It cost millions of dollars and it took nearly five years to build it.

Nowadays, winning Changfeng directly needs to open up the waterway from Luoyang City to Huiji County. The length of the project is more than thousands of miles. Even with the free labor provided by Donghu and Yueshi, it is far beyond the scope of the Daqin Treasury.

After all, even if it is coolie, it still needs to consume food, and the various earth and stone needed for construction also need to be mobilized from all over the country, or even purchased directly.

Even if it is estimated to the minimum requirements, it is impossible to complete the construction without tens of millions or even millions of dollars!

You know, Daqin's treasury tax revenue in one year is only 30 to 40 million yuan!

"Father, there is no need to worry about the problems of money and people, the children can solve the problems of money and people, and will strive to complete the Grand Canal in the shortest time!"

Win Changfeng is full of confidence.

If one million labors are not enough, then come to three million five million, and start construction of several planned lots together, and the speed will naturally increase.

Donghu and Yue’s people are not good at building, and robbing people is a good housekeeping skill, which is definitely not a problem.

Within half a month of winning against Changfeng and returning to Xianyang, Yuezhi and Donghu have successively breached several Maurya dynasty cities, not only gaining a lot of gains, but also directly looting more than 100,000 young and powerful laborers.

This is just the sleeping city of the Maurya Dynasty. Once it breaks into the hinterland, the labor that can be obtained will inevitably be more abundant.

With Daqin's control over Donghu and Yueshi, the part that exceeds one million a year is basically just what you want, and it doesn't cost much at all.

Anyway, the prairie barbarians don't know how to manage the city. Keeping these young people will only add chaos to them, so it is better to sell them to Daqin to save trouble.

Moreover, the Maurya Dynasty has a population of 30 million. Many of them are not full of food and clothes. They serve as coolies for Daqin, and they may live better than they did in their own country.

Of course, winning Changfeng will not commit the troubles of a certain ugly country in later generations. Even if these Asan coolies survive to the end, they will definitely not be allowed to stay in Daqin.

It should be a very good choice to go to the Wa country or other places to open up wasteland and mine for Daqin.

As for whether it will bear a reputation for brutality?

Win Changfeng with the Blacken system, would you care about this?

Moreover, the people were captured by Donghu and Yue people, but Daqin rescued them from the grassland barbarians legally and compassionately, and the Asan should be grateful for own kindness.

Daqin dares to be crooked and won't be used to winning Changfeng.

Such a hard and dangerous thing, without a foreign race, should Daqin people do it by themselves?

On the one hand, they dislike the burden of labor and labor, and on the other hand, they are like the Virgin Mary, so they should be thrown out of labor reform.

Win Changfeng has decided to let the non-criminal prisoners in Daqin prison also participate in some relatively less dangerous labor, so that they can make atonement for their own faults.

It can speed up the progress of the main project and save the cost of prison. Maybe you can even get some Blacken points for yourself.

It's definitely a good thing to do multiple things in one fell swoop.

"This discussion is very good!"

"According to what you said, Changfeng, although the Peacock Dynasty, although its combat power is not high, its population is not inferior to Daqin. If it can't handle it, the future will be a major disaster for Daqin to control the Western Regions. !"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

The first emperor of the Qin Dynasty has never been a false benevolent person, and he will never be soft when he should be tough!

"The issue of funds is actually quite easy to handle!"

"Although the surplus in the treasury is indeed not much, the people of Daqin are actually much richer than imagined!"

"Before, the sons and ministers only checked a Confucian mansion and obtained a huge amount of wealth equivalent to the annual income of the treasury. The rest of the evil gentry is like the Meng mansion, although not as good as the Confucian mansion, but the sum is extremely impressive!"

"Furthermore, the wealthiest people in Daqin are not the Confucianists and the gentry they represent, but the most inconspicuous merchants!"

"Whether it is the Fan family, which has been inherited for hundreds of years from Tao Zhugong, or the Baqing and Wushiluo families who have risen in Daqin and have been received by their father, the cash in their hands is at least nearly ten million!'

"There are also the former wealthy households of the six countries who were moved to Xianyang by the father of the emperor. The wealth buried in the mansion is absolutely amazing!

"If this money stays in the private sector, it will not only be extremely wasteful, it is actually a potential threat to the court!"

"It's better to attract them to use all their money in the name of investment cooperation, which speeds up the progress of various projects in the court, and it can also bind the interests of these wealthy businessmen to the court and enhance their understanding of the court. Loyalty."

"Even if there are occasional problems, it is faster and more convenient to clean up, isn't it?

Win Changfeng introduced with a smile.

Although due to the reasons of Lu Buwei and others, Daqin's perception of merchants is not good.

But after all, the atmosphere at this moment is still relatively open, and the country is governed by legalists, as long as the businessmen do not take the initiative to violate the law. With the patience, it is not difficult to make a fortune.

It is just for various reasons that Daqin merchants will not continue to invest more after they have wealth, but most of them start to buy land and property, trying to get closer to the gentry, hoping to gain the approval of others.

Typically, such as the Lu family where Lu Pheasant is located, and the several large merchant families just mentioned by Changfeng.

In fact, this problem has existed throughout the feudal dynasty of Daxia for thousands of years, and it has an impact even when it wins Changfeng's previous life.

"Such astonishing wealth, staying in the private sector, is indeed inappropriate!"

"But will they agree to withdraw the money to help the court build the Grand Canal?"

Emperor Shi's face became slightly solemn and said.

In fact, he is not completely ignorant of the power of the businessman. After all, not long ago, Da Qin had a merchant background, and he was able to occupy the upper position with the odd goods, and he was monopolized for a while.

The successful completion of the Qin Mie-Zhao campaign is also closely related to the fact that Zhao Xiang Guo Kai, who was a businessman, was bribed and killed Li Mu.

Therefore, when the Six Kingdoms were destroyed and the Great Qin Empire was established, the First Emperor not only ordered the destruction of the world's weapons, but also forcibly moved the rich and powerful of the original six countries to Xianyang City, so as to prevent these people from continuing to be at odds with the court.

It is precisely because of this that this group of people had a lot of complaints against Daqin and Emperor Shi, and the merchants' disinterested dispositions of profit-seeking made the Emperor Shi quite dissatisfied with the choices of this group of people.

"The whole world is Xixi, all for Lilai;

The world's hustle and bustle are all for profit!

Pursuit of profit is the instinct of mortals. If you want these merchants to devote everything to them, you only need to show them the benefits of following the court's investment!"

Win Changfeng said calmly: "As long as you promise certain benefits to this group of people, such as the shops and land after the Grand Canal is completed, or the right to specialize in some commodities, they will definitely follow the profits when they see the profits."

"Of course, for the merchants’ desire for profit, the court should not only use it, but also supervise it at any time.

...For flowers...

All commercial activities must be under the supervision of the law, and illegal acts must be promptly and effectively stopped and severely punished!'

"Erchen still has the same idea. Blocking is not as good as sparse. The behavior of merchants cannot be completely blocked by blocking alone. It is better to let go of a controllable channel a little bit."

"Moreover, the profit of business is extremely amazing. As long as it can operate well and the revenue of the national treasury, there will definitely be an extremely impressive Ascension!"

``Even if the minimum tax of 30 taxes is taken as an example, the court can get a dollar of tax for a silk sold to the grassland. If it is sold to the Seleucid or Maurya Dynasty, it can be as high as three dollars! "

"The reason why commercial tax was inconspicuous before, one was that the court did not pay attention to it and its management was lax, and the other was because many gentry and powerful people used their own means to escape tax!"

"Such acts of stealing and leakage not only greatly reduced the court's due income, but also formed unfair competition with law-abiding businessmen, seriously damaging their enthusiasm!!

"Therefore, Erchen believes that in order to allow businessmen to actively participate in the construction of Daqin, in addition to promising the benefits after the construction of the canal, it is necessary to revise the business law to ensure the interests of law-abiding businessmen.

"The most important point is that both officials and gentry must pay taxes together, and those who violate the law, no matter who they are, must be severely punished!'

0...0

The business path is open and the future of business is promising, business people will naturally fight for the first place, and the court can also get more business tax. Why not do it?"

"At that time, let alone a Grand Canal, there are ten or eight, it's just a matter of time!"

Win Changfeng laughed.

Not only for later generations, even today, for a country to prosper and become strong, business is also indispensable.

Rome was able to re-emerge from weakness, and the prosperity of Carthage was greatly related to the monopoly of Mediterranean trade routes.

The most powerful era in the history of Daxia also has a great relationship with the road and the Maritime Silk Road.

As a traverser, winning Changfeng will naturally not miss the point of being a powerhouse of commerce and trade.

As for whether the businessman would pose a threat to Da Qin after his fortune.

Don't forget, this is the central government, and it's Daqin with strict laws!

Win Changfeng, don't mind taking a few bad profiteers to sacrifice chess.

He has always disdained killing chickens and cursing monkeys, but directly killed monkeys to show chickens!

"That's it!"

"Changfeng is your sole responsibility for this matter. If you don't agree, you don't need to ask your father, just let it go!"

"After you go back, your father will formally make an order to grant you the right to supervise the country!

On the other hand, winning politics is also the more research and the more it discovers the necessity of the Grand Canal and the development of commerce, and he directly made up his mind.

This is not only related to the prosperity of Daqin, but also to win Changfeng's rare initiative to have such a positive performance, and the First Emperor will naturally not miss it.

He is not the emperor of those small belly chicken intestines. Seeing that own son is better than himself, he is not only very pleased, but also directly feels decentralized.

Long before the return of Win Changfeng, Win Government had already begun to plan to let Win Changfeng take over the power, but it was not realized because of the opposition of Win Changfeng's own.

Although the first emperor's complex has been greatly improved due to the Nine Cycles eternal pill, the first emperor's idea of ​​further decentralization has never changed.

"Changfeng, Daqin's Sheji, sooner or later will belong to you!"

"Father is just helping you to take control!"

"You don't have the heart to look at Emperor Father, who is already close to his fate, still working on the affairs of the country day and night, right?"

Seeing that Changfeng was about to open his mouth, the first emperor directly played the emotional card first.

Win Changfeng couldn't help but spread his hands.

Sure enough, ginger is still hot!

My own father, this skill of smoothly pushing the boat is really worthy of my own study! Thousands,
