Shuang Daqin Comparison, No Comparison, No Harm

After a few days of leisure, Zhao Ze thought of building Chidao.

Chidao is actually similar to the national highway in modern times.

It runs through the entire map directly from south to north, and then from east to west.

It can facilitate the delivery of goods to and from merchants.

This kind of Chidao Yingzheng will be built in the future, but it's not yet time, and Zhao Dou plans to advance it.

It can be regarded as copying Yingzheng's thoughts at the time, but as a person who came to Qin from modern times, he naturally still needs to use this golden finger.

For this idea, Zhao Ze drew up his idea of ​​building Chidao into a memorial overnight, and submitted it the next day.

His idea was very bold, and Ying Zheng was obviously very interested after seeing it. He asked Zhao Ze: "I understand what you're talking about. It's just that if this road runs from north to south, how long will it take to build it?"

"It's nearly a thousand kilometers, but the width of the entire equator doesn't need to be too long, just enough for two carriages to pass through.

Yingzheng asked again: "But this road has been built so long that it cannot pass through other countries.

"That's right, I'm afraid that this route will pass through Chu Kingdom, Yan Kingdom and other countries."

Regarding Zhao Ze's opinion, Ying Zheng did not directly express his disapproval, but the expression of interest on his face obviously disappeared.

He asked Zhao Ze: "The construction of this chi road is more beneficial to our Qin State than Chu State, Guotian?"

It's not that Yingzheng thinks it's not good to build a road, it's just that Qin spent money to build it, so it can't be a wedding dress for other countries.

Zhao Ze replied: "Naturally, as long as the roads are built well, the merchants who come and go will not care about the transportation cost. When the fleets from various countries pass through the Qin State, it will definitely drive the economic growth of the Qin State."

One of the marginal criteria for testing whether a country is strong is its economy far surpassing that of other countries.

The second is a strong military force.

Once there is an economy, there will be money to recruit soldiers and horses. How much will it cost to serve Daqin to get soldiers?

There are still ministers who do not accept this opinion and question it.

"However, neither Chu nor Yan can get the right to use Chidao without spending money or efforts. This is really unfair to our Great Qin."

"That is, even if it is good for the economy of our Qin country, it is not equally good for other countries [how can the prince guarantee that we will benefit the most from Thailand?"

"I also think that the prince's method is too unfeasible."

Suddenly jumped out a lot of voices of opposition.

Although many people are optimistic about Zhao Ze's own strength, they still do not approve of Zhao Ze's plan.

Knowing that the concerns of these ministers are nothing more than not wanting to benefit Chu and Yan.

But their thinking is too narrow. If they only focus on the cost of construction, Daqin will give up the caravan from the north, and how much business opportunities will be lost.

In this regard, Zhao Ze could only change his strategy, "If the ministers feel that this method is inappropriate, why don't we first open up the expressway from the Western Regions to our Great Qin."

"It only passes through a few small countries. Even if these small countries make profits, they are not a threat to our Qin State. You don't have to worry about the possibility of other countries' economy surpassing our Qin State."

"And when we build the equator, we charge fees to the surrounding countries. Since it is built for them, the money will naturally be paid by them.

"Of course, this time reflects the advantages of our Qin State University. If they are unwilling, then we will directly confiscate their land."

...asking for flowers...

If this Chidao wants to continue to be built, these old guys must see the role of Chidao and the economy that Chidao has brought to Qin.

Anyway, starting from these small countries will not pose any threat to Qin.

With Qin's current military strength, if those small countries refuse to accept it, they can directly take their territory as Qin's own.

Anyway, this road is definitely not in vain.

Upon hearing this suggestion, those old guys also felt that it was feasible, and immediately changed their words.

The leader was Li Si, who stood up and said: "It is worth a try, if it succeeds, the Western Regions will definitely boost the economy of our Qin State.

....0

Zhao Gao also said: "If it can promote our national economy, it is indeed necessary to try it. I think this suggestion of the eldest son of the emperor is very useful."

"It's just that it may be difficult to carry out what we said from the north to the south, but if we get through from the Western Regions to our Qin country, I don't think there is any risk."

Both Li Si and Zhao Gao had spoken, and the other officials naturally had no objections.

If you don't take risks, you really don't suffer a loss if you give it a try.

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "Everyone thinks it is feasible, so you can try it. Since this sentence was thought up by Zhao Ze, then Zhao Ze will supervise the whole process.

Zhao Ze accepted the order, and then went to Yingzheng to get 50 million taels of construction funds.

This money was squeezed out from the national treasury. A while ago, counterfeit money was circulated once.

three thirds.

Even if they recovered a sum of money from the merchant later, they still had a small deficit.

In addition, Hedan and Longxi County are both at war, and there are places to spend money everywhere. .
