Chapter 524 Ying Gao wants to integrate Daqin merchants.
For Jing Yu and other merchants, they have been waiting for countless years.
They once saw hope when Wenxinhou Lu Buwei was around, but this hope was only temporary. Lu Buwei, who had gained political power, had already become the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and had forgotten the solemn oath.
The rise of Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei was once the day that all their merchants were looking forward to, the day closest to themselves and others, but Lu Buwei let them down.
Originally, they all thought that they would never see the grand scene of merchants in this life, but unexpectedly, by some strange combination of circumstances, the most impossible thing happened, and the most unlikely person turned out to be the most likely to contribute to it.
.
Opportunities in life are often full of variables.
No one can change this, except the king of a country.
.......
"Sir, is this possible?"
After a while, Jing Yu said to Ying Gao with a hint of surprise still on his face.
Even though it was a surprise, Jing Yu was still a little hesitant after the surprise. He knew in his heart that such a thing was impossible in the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, let alone in Daqin.
Since Lord Shang's reform, the basic national policy of the Qin Dynasty has been to focus on the roots and suppress the weak. At the critical moment when the Qin Dynasty came east, the government of the Qin Dynasty suddenly changed its national policy. This was simply impossible.
Even though Ying Gao said it himself, he still felt it was unrealistic.
"The possibility is certainly great!"
Ying Gao nodded first. He could understand Jing Yu's worries. After all, he also knew how difficult this matter was and the terrifying impact it would have on Great Qin.
"My father has already relented. When Chidao is built, merchants from all over the world will travel along Chidao. As soon as taxes rise, the attitude of the court will naturally change!"
Speaking of which, Ying Gao took a deep look at Jing Yu and Shang Yang and said, "In a short time, the imperial court will formulate laws on merchants' business practices, as long as they do not violate the law."
"The world's merchants come and go frequently, but it is too chaotic, and some merchants are simply a group of black-hearted people. Without legal restrictions, it will shake the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. Do you think the establishment of laws should be the first priority?"
Jing Yu is a ruthless person.
He knew in his heart that this was an opportunity for the world's merchants. If he missed it like this, he would never be able to do it again in his life. He would only be able to survive under pressure.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.
The structure of the world has already been set, and merchants are at the end. This means that, except for slaves, they are at the bottom, of course? Except for the son-in-law.
If the Qin court let go of this, would it be a groundbreaking event? Except for the great merchants, such a situation has never happened before.
"Um!"
Ying Gao nodded and said with deep eyes: "In this world, one day there will be a situation where under the king, scholars, peasants, industry and merchants will be on equal footing, and they will be judged based on their contribution to the Qin Dynasty, rather than status!"
Ying Gao has always had an idea in his heart, which is to create an atmosphere, or a concept, so that people in the world can pursue serving the Qin Dynasty.
Treat serving the Qin Dynasty as a goal and a pursuit.
Ying Gao felt relieved that Jing Yu had such a concept. He was most afraid of the situation among merchants where people were unwilling to accept the elephant.
"This is a major matter that affects the entire merchant class. You are responsible for Jing Yu's matter. Contact the big merchants in Da Qin to discuss it. After all, only the merchant class is sincere, and I will be able to better convince my father and the king.
Officials of the government and the public."
Ying Gao chuckled lightly and said: "What's more, this is not only the Xianyang Bashu Road, but also the Bashu Extreme South Road, the Northwestern Longxi Tunnel, the Xianyang West Sea Road, etc., which need to be built. This requires a huge amount of money and food. We, the Peacock Chamber of Commerce and the Sword
Although the Southern Chamber of Commerce is powerful, it is inevitably powerless!"
"These big businessmen have countless amounts of money and food in their hands. We should make use of them. Only in this way can we fully reflect the power of the merchants at this stage and let my father and the ministers see the need for reform.
"
"When the matter is over, the imperial court will inevitably promulgate the economic law, commercial law, anti-monopoly law and other laws regarding merchants in advance. When the time comes, I will ask you to go to the Tingwei Mansion to help revise the law."
"You can fight for the rights of merchants within the appropriate scope, but you can't touch what you can't touch, and you absolutely can't get involved!"
He felt reassured about Jing Yu, but Ying Gao was inevitably a little worried. After all, under the huge interests, even a wise person would inevitably become dizzy, let alone a businessman.
"promise."
Nodding, Jing Yu was filled with excitement.
He knew in his heart that this was how much Ying Gao valued and supported him.
In this way, once the Qin Dynasty revamps the law and merchants rise in the future, he will become a veritable leader of the merchant class, which is equivalent to pushing him to a height that he could not even dream of.
For Ying Gao, Jing Yu only felt grateful in her heart at this moment.
They, father and son, have everything smooth sailing because of their victory. They will not be in or out of each other in the future, but it is destined to completely change their destiny.
Taking a sip of tea, Ying Gao took a deep look at Jing Yu and said, "Who do you think is the right person to serve as the president of the Daqin Construction Chamber of Commerce?"
"This person not only needs to know how to be a merchant, but also needs to know how to build a city. Do you have any good candidates?"
Hearing this, Jing Yu was slightly startled. He always thought that Ying Gao had already prepared a candidate, but in the end there was nothing, just a mouth.
After thinking about this, Jing Yu raised his hand towards Ying Gaoyi and said: "Sir, Lang Fan, who is currently responsible for the construction aspect under the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce, I think he is quite suitable!"
"Um!"
Nodding slightly, Ying Gao chuckled and said: "I still believe in your vision, so I will let Lang Fan serve as the president of the Daqin Construction Chamber of Commerce. After you go down, let him build the framework of the Daqin Construction Chamber of Commerce as quickly as possible.
stand up."
"Then we began to prepare to train craftsmen and manpower, and contacted Zheng Guo, the imperial magistrate of Datian. After getting familiar with everything, we contacted General Meng Tian and then headed to Bashu."
"You two will help him. If he doesn't understand anything about this matter, he can come to me. I will be in Xianyang recently!"
For Ying Gao, he only has half a bucket of water when it comes to the economy. He can only choose to believe in Jing Yu. After all, Jing Yu has never let him down.
What's more, this is the Qin Dynasty, and the royal power is above all else. As long as he is not a fool, no one will mess around.
Jing Yu is a smart man.
He is also a very smart person.
Ying Gao knew this in his heart. After all, the people who could follow him at that time were the best in this era in terms of vision and wisdom.
