- The excitement only lasted for a very short time, and immediately afterwards, all the merchants had expressions of regret on their faces.
"Are you thinking that these four straight roads are a huge project that you can't handle, right?" Qin Yiren saw their expressions of regret and smiled.
Qin Yiren was right, they felt sorry for this. These four straight roads are thousands of miles long. You can imagine the vastness of the project. Even the five major merchants in the world, Mrs. Qing, Yidun, Bai, Zhuo and Tian, ??found it very difficult.
Obviously there is a chance to make a lot of money, but because of his own strength, he can't make money. Who can not regret it?
"I have a suggestion for you. If you can't feed one family, you can count several families, or even dozens, dozens, hundreds of families, to unite and make a fortune together." Qin Yiren had thought about this a long time ago and thought of a plan for them. good idea.
"Union?" There were exclamations, and the regret on the faces of these merchants disappeared, replaced by excitement.
If they really want to win these four straights, they will make a lot of money and make a fortune. Who can not be happy? Even if you get a piece of it, it will be a huge profit.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the merchants expressed their thanks in unison.
Qin Yiren¡¯s proposal is a good way to solve their current predicament, and everyone must be convinced.
"Your Majesty, if you leave these four straight roads to us to repair, what will Great Qin do?" A great talent like Tian Dan emerged from the Tian family in Qidi. His vision was extraordinary and he immediately asked a very important question.
The merchants all stared at Qin Yiren, their ears pricked up, for fear of missing a detail.
"You asked a very good question, and it is also the question that you are most worried about, right? You are worried that Da Qin will take advantage of you, and even take advantage of you and take away your family wealth." Qin Yiren waved his right hand, very grandly Said: "You can rest assured that Daqin will never do such a thing. Daqin leaves these huge projects to you to repair. Daqin only needs to do three things: make requirements, supervise, and accept."
?? To put forward requirements, in modern terms, is to put forward standards. These merchants must repair according to official requirements. This is a must.
Supervision¡¤Not to mention, if there is no supervision, why wouldn¡¯t these profit-seeking businessmen pass off inferior products? Still not cutting corners? If that's the case, the straights are of poor quality.
Acceptance is also inevitable. The quality of the straight roads built by these merchants depends on their acceptance.
"Good!" The three points mentioned by Qin Yiren are completely justified and not excessive at all. Merchants can accept them and call them good.
"Your Majesty, if this is really the case, we are willing to build a straight road." A group of merchants were very excited and shouted in unison, like thunder.
"Very good! Very good!" Qin Yiren nodded slightly, wanting this effect.
"If the corvee law is not changed, the people of the country will suffer a lot, and may even force people to rebel. The corvee law must be changed." However, after the corvee law was revised, the Qin Dynasty lost many civilians, and it became difficult to repair the necessary projects, which made the matter very difficult.
Qin Yiren thought about it, and then he thought that merchants could cooperate with them.
Merchants are only profit-seeking and full of copper odor, but they are not without merit. If used well, they can play an unexpected role. As Adam Smith, the founder of modern economics, said, it is caused by an "invisible hand". "In the lead.
In modern society, businessmen can participate in national defense proposals, and there is no problem. It only requires good supervision.
By cooperating with merchants, you can build a straight path without disturbing the people. This is the best of both worlds.
At the same time, business can also be developed.
During the Warring States Period, the Qin State suppressed commerce. This was not wrong, because merchants were too mobile and it was difficult to cultivate "patriotic enthusiasm." Suppressing commerce and rewarding farming were inevitable measures.
Now that the world has been unified, merchants, no matter how mobile they are, are still moving within the territory of the Qin Dynasty. They no longer have to worry about being unable to cultivate "patriotic enthusiasm", because he is a Chinese, and loving China is an inevitable outcome.
Therefore, developing business has become inevitable. Only in this way can goods be circulated and exchanged, what is available and what is not available can be sold, and economic development can be promoted, so that the people of the country can have more abundant materials and live a better life.
It can be said that Qin Yiren's skill is one of the best.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what does Great Qin require?" asked Yidun.
This question is unclear. It is difficult to determine whether it is a straight path. The merchants all craned their necks.
Qin Yiren did not speak, but nodded to Cai Ze. Cai Ze immediately ordered some officials to bring some parchment with the words Qin?'s request, one piece per person, let them pass it around for viewing.
These requirements were written clearly. Although the requirements were very high and almost harsh, they were not impossible and acceptable. The merchants were even more happy.
"Can you meet these requirements?" Qin Yiren asked as he glanced at the merchants.
"Yes!" The merchants were full of confidence.
"What do you do, Da Qin will not interfere. If you have good skills, you may as well use them. As long as you meet Da Qin's requirements." Qin Yiren knew that the people's wisdom is infinite, and as long as they are given a chance, they can promote Of course, the development of technology will not be strictly regulated.
"Great." This gives the merchants freedom, as long as they meet the requirements. As for what technology to use, the Qin Dynasty will not interfere, and they can use it freely.
The next thing is for these merchants to find people to cooperate, which takes a certain amount of time. It only took three days for these merchants to unite and submit a quotation to the officials and propose a plan. !
Qin Yiren ordered people to screen and select the merchants with the best plan and the most suitable price.
This is equivalent to the modern "tendering", but it is not stated clearly.
After fierce competition, Mrs. Qing got the straight road from Xianyang to Jiuyuan, the Yidun family got the straight road from Jiuyuan to Changsha, the Tian family got the straight road from Linzi to Jiuyuan, and the Bai family and Zhuo family joined forces to get the straight road from Xianyang to Linzi. Of course, their financial resources alone are not enough. They have united many merchants. As for how to divide the money, that is their own business, and Qin Yiren does not care.
The merchants who failed to participate in the Four Straight Roads were greatly disappointed. Such an opportunity to make a lot of money was lost. Who could not be disappointed? Qin Yiren told them again that there was no need to be disappointed, because the Qin Dynasty also wanted to build water conservancy projects, and they could participate in many water conservancy projects, so these merchants were very happy.
It can be said that everyone is happy with this incident.
After the merchants signed the agreement with the government, they rushed back happily to prepare to build the straight road.

As officials from all over the country rushed back from Xianyang, a vigorous campaign to eradicate long-standing abuses began.
In Shangcai, Chu State, a remote village was crowded with people. There were villagers from this village, people from other villages, and officials from the county government.
The reason why they are gathered here is because they have to do a very meaningful thing today - destroy the pass of this village.
The passes in this village are impressive, because this village with a population of only two hundred actually has as many as five passes.
This village is owned by five retainers of a noble family in Chu State. Each of them has a certain fiefdom and a certain population. It was originally a village. Even if it was divided among five retainers, there would be no need to build a pass, right?
The problem is that these five retainers are fighting openly and secretly among themselves. In order to claim credit in front of their master, they are fighting to the death, and no one will give in to the other. Finally, the lots were drawn, and a pass was built to divide the village into five parts, making it inconvenient to communicate with each other.
This is quite similar to what Lao Tzu advocated: "We hear the sounds of chickens and dogs, and we will never interact with each other until we die." But it didn¡¯t have the kind of harmony that I advocated. Instead, there was a lot more bitterness, blood and tears.
The villagers and their families in this village actually belong to different retainers. If the husband is owned by one retainer and the wife is owned by another retainer, which retainer should their children belong to?
?????????????????????????????????????? One more person means more income, and the retainers will not give in to anyone, and start fighting. In their fight, the unlucky ones are these innocent villagers. Today this retainer comes to collect taxes, and tomorrow that retainer comes to collect taxes. The day after tomorrow, they both come together. He collects too much, and I collect less. You have to give up the less. Partially made up.
With such tossing, the villagers in this village are miserable and living in dire straits. Some villagers could not bear the suffering and committed suicide.
"According to Qin law, the passes must be abolished!" the county official shouted at the top of his voice.
"Destroy the passes!" The villagers burst into cheers, and everyone stepped forward with tools waving, with the mission of destroying these passes.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? etc
"Long live the Qin Dynasty!" The villagers waved their arms, shook their fists, and shouted loudly, venting their excitement.
"Woo!" Some villagers cried with excitement.

In the land of Jiangdong, all the descendants of the Xiang family were dejected. Under the escort of the Qin army's elite soldiers, they left their hometown and rushed to Guanzhong.
Qin Yiren decided to eradicate the old aristocrats of the Six Kingdoms and move these people to Guanzhong for custody. Of course, the Xiang family, as a big family in Chu State, cannot be an exception and must be removed.You can't hit it.
As a big family in the Chu State, the Xiang family has deep roots in Jiangdong and is used to being domineering. It is the first time that they are as dejected as today, like a defeated rooster, which has attracted the people of Jiangdong to marvel.
"Look, look, the Xiang family is here too!"
"The Xiang family is a tyrant in the east of the Yangtze River. They are domineering and domineering, plundering people's fields, taking away people's wives and daughters, and countless families have been destroyed and killed because of them. They should have been eradicated long ago. It is pitiful that the King of Chu is incompetent. Not only can he not eradicate them, but he also You have to appease them, as if they haven¡¯t done enough evil.¡±
"The Qin Dynasty is still powerful. As soon as the warriors of the Qin Dynasty arrive, won't the Xiang family just obey? The Qin Dynasty wants them to go east, but they don't dare to go west!"
"You untouchables don't know how to appreciate the kindness of the general. The general fought to the death for Chu and Qin and died on the battlefield. You should be grateful." A descendant of the Xiang family couldn't stand listening anymore and shouted at the onlookers.
"I bother!"
"You have the nerve to say this. The general is a man, but is he really dedicated to the great Chu? He wants to be promoted and make a fortune, he wants the Xiang family to have more land, cities, and people, and he wants you, the Xiang family, to exploit you. More ruthless.
He died well! "
However, a contradictory remark caused a round of shouting.
"Beat him to death! Beat him to death!" The more excited Chinese people picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at them.
Xiang Yan is a character, but if he succeeds, the Xiang family's power will be greater, the Xiang family's dominance will become even more severe, and the lives of the common people and slaves will be even more difficult.
This is the national condition of Chu State. Who can not hate Xiang Yan? - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
