Chapter 519 In later generations, some people commented on him like this, he has nothing, he only has his empire.
If it weren't for the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce, Ying Zheng's life would have been even more miserable.
With the two living examples of Ying Gao and Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng, even though he was mediocre, understood the benefits and disadvantages of merchants to a country.
It's not that he doesn't want to change, but the rules have been set for hundreds of years. Once he takes action, the interests of others will be affected. It's not that he doesn't have the courage, but it's the time when Great Qin is coming out of the East, and Ying Zheng doesn't want any surprises.
But Ying Gao's words completely dispelled his worries. As long as merchants are supervised under economic laws, they can take advantage of them and guard against disadvantages.
It's just that this economic law requires discussion from top to bottom in the court before a suitable economic law can be formulated.
Moreover, it requires court officials who understand economics. As for merchants, even at this moment, he still doesn't believe it.
As a king, you can only believe in yourself.
What's more, an emperor like Ying Zheng emerged step by step from danger. His hands were stained with blood and his heart was colder than anyone else.
This is the government of the Qin Dynasty.
This is also the reason why he became the emperor through the ages.
In later generations, some people said of Ying Zheng that he had nothing but his empire.
.........
"Young Master Gao, Gu can hand over Chidao to you, and even revitalize the merchants, but the operating rights of the Daqin Construction Chamber of Commerce are only for thirty years, and Gu wants 30% of the profits made by the Daqin Construction Chamber of Commerce."
The lion opened his mouth wide.
Ying Zheng's move is an interpretation of the saying that the lion opens its mouth.
He wanted 30% of the Daqin Construction Chamber of Commerce's income without any money. Ying Gao knew in his heart that there was no profit at all, and all of it was earned by Ying Zheng.
After reviewing Ying Zheng's strategy in his mind, Ying Gao shook his head and said: "Thirty years is okay, but 30% is too high. The Daqin Construction Chamber of Commerce's 30%, which means that it is not enough to give all the profits to the father, and the son is also needed.
I put money inside."
"At most 10%. After all, the Daqin Construction Chamber of Commerce will also help the court support a road administration office. If the father can allocate funds from the national treasury for the road administration department within thirty years, the son can give the father 20%!"
Under the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce, the construction team had been established for a long time, but it was not completely integrated. In the view of Ying Gao at the time, it was not necessary at all.
After all, Lishan Mausoleum itself does not dare to intervene? There is no shadow of Albang Palace yet? Similarly, Chidao and the Great Wall have not been proposed? There is absolutely no need to establish a construction chamber in advance.
But this time, the east wind is at the door? Ying Gao plans to take this opportunity to integrate these forces, and then let the Daqin Construction Chamber of Commerce come into being, undertake major projects, and let those treasures that shock future generations come out in his own hands.
Just for Ying Zheng’s request? Wouldn’t Ying Gao mention 30%? Because 30% would be unprofitable for him.
Since he has studied history, Ying Gao naturally knows that no matter which dynasty it is, the country's treasury is called the treasury, and the emperor's treasury is called internal money.
Whether it is transferring money from the national treasury to internal funds, or transferring money from internal funds to the national treasury for emergencies, you need to sign a contract. Is this a loan? You may even need to pay interest.
Although it is more than nine in and thirteen out, it is not low either.
Because of this, Ying Gao's deployment at this moment is the basis for him to be free from the constraints of the court in the future. An emperor with financial freedom is an emperor in the true sense.
Naturally, Ying Zheng was well aware of the terrifying expense of supporting a Highway Secretary? Moreover, he was determined to go east and had no energy to care about this. At this time, Ying Zheng nodded and said.
"I can promise you that every achievement will be 10%, but within thirty years, all officials in the Department of Highways will have to default on their salaries, and the maintenance of Chidao will be once a year!"
"make a deal!"
Nodding, a smile appeared on the corner of Ying Gao's mouth. He knew in his heart that the biggest gain from this confrontation with Ying Zheng was to shake the national policy of focusing on the basic and suppressing the weak. Although there was no general trend of landslides, there was already some.
If there is a gap, as long as we seize the opportunity next time, our national policy will be completely shaken this time.
After the transaction was over, the mood in the study became normal.
Ying Gao poured a cup of tea, handed it to Ying Zheng, and said, "Father, has the matter of going east to the east been decided?"
"Um!"
Ying Zheng nodded, looking a little proud, and said: "We have already made preparations, but we still need Dongfeng, and we need to go north to Jiuyuan, suppress the Xiongnu, and completely eliminate our worries."
Hearing this, Ying Gao pondered for a moment and said to Ying Zheng: "Father, don't be anxious. I just wiped out Rong Di, which is far from a threat to the Xiongnu. When I wipe out the Dayue clan, the Huns will not bow their heads.
Then destroy him."
In Ying Gao's view, the Huns will be enemies sooner or later and will be destroyed sooner or later. No matter when they are destroyed, it will not affect his deployment.
Even if the march south to the extreme south is postponed for one year, Great Qin's national power can still be supported, but this will mean that the rise of Great Qin will be delayed for one year.
"I also want to destroy the Xiongnu. After all, what you said is right. How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside the bed? It's just that all the thoughts of Da Qin are on going east."
"It is not appropriate to disperse the troops, not to mention that the six Shandong countries, although they may seem weak, are definitely not easy to conquer. Although Da Qin can destroy the country, it still needs to use its hands and feet, and it will never be easy."
As the king of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng had an incomparable understanding of the national strength of the six Shandong kingdoms. He knew in his heart that the war to destroy the country was different from ordinary wars, and he must not mess with it.
We must proceed step by step and make decisions before taking action.
"When you capture the extreme south, Great Qin will march eastward with all its strength. Otherwise, fighting on both sides will cause too much damage to Great Qin's national strength!"
On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee victory in every battle. When the Qin Dynasty goes out to the east, it needs to consider where the Qin will go after the failure of the Eastern Expedition, instead of just thinking about the victory of the Qin Dynasty and moving forward indomitably.
"Father, please rest assured that my son will dispatch troops and generals as quickly as possible, and then capture the land of the Great Yueshi, and strive to move south to the extreme south as soon as possible."
Ying Gao took a sip of herbal tea, looked at Ying Zheng, chuckled, and said: "Father, the only good news is that according to the news from the scouts, there are no powerful countries in the extreme south, only tribes. For
We are not the enemy."
"This also makes this battle much easier for us!"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Gao, and spoke earnestly, saying: "The lion is fighting the rabbit with all his strength. Before the war is over and the dust has settled, there can be no carelessness."
"You are the commander-in-chief of the army. If you are careless, countless soldiers will be ruined and will never be able to return to the Central Plains. Countless families will be torn apart in Great Qin!"
