Chapter 922 The son wants to nourish Xianyang with the three major business roads and build a prosperous metropolis.
"Modify the Golden Rule?"
Ying Zheng frowned slightly. This was not the first time Ying Gao had mentioned this matter. He had previously rejected Ying Gao on the grounds that he needed to ensure the stability of the country.
However, this time Ying Gao mentioned it, but Ying Zheng had no reason to refuse.
Heibingtai has already sent the news back to Xianyang. Ying Zheng also knows the situation in Xiazhou quite well. It is simply impossible to be like Guanzhong and focus on agriculture.
The area is too vast and the population is too insufficient.
This meant that Xiazhou could not copy the Guanzhong model and could only take another path. However, this path had never been implemented in the Central Plains, which made Ying Zheng unable to make up his mind for a while.
After all, according to Ying Gao's wishes, if he wanted to be a large-scale merchant in Xiazhou, he needed to modify the Jinbu Law. Ying Zheng knew that the law was the foundation of a country and should not be lightly touched.
Today's Great Qin needs stability more than ever. Ying Zheng is very rational. He knows that only a stable army can ensure that the army marches eastward and moves forward indomitably.
Thoughts flashed in his mind, Ying Zheng smiled at Ying Gao and said: "Tell me what you are thinking, and listen to me. You also know how big the reaction will be if you want to change the national policy and modify the golden rules.
.”
"The current Great Qin still needs to focus on stability."
Ying Zheng did not reject Ying Gao at the first time. He knew in his heart that Ying Gao was extremely rational and confident. If he had not had an idea in his heart, he would never put it forward in front of him.
He also wanted to see if the idea in Ying Gao's mind was feasible. If Xiazhou and Liangzhou could be developed, it would be a huge good thing for Great Qin.
"promise."
Ying Gao nodded slightly, thought about it in his mind, then sorted out his thoughts clearly, and then said to Ying Zheng.
"Father, as my son said before, neither Liangzhou nor Xiazhou is as prosperous as the Central Plains. It is simply not feasible to focus on the basics and suppress the weak."
"Even after the grain crops are optimized in the future, Xiazhou will still be the most suitable area for farming, which means that people from the country will need to migrate to Xiazhou in the future."
"By then, the Qin Dynasty has swept through the six kingdoms of Shandong, and it has just ended, or even not yet ended. Under such circumstances, it is not suitable for forced migration at all."
"We must make it clear to the people of the world that migration will change their lives. Only by luring people with benefits can they migrate."
"There are salt lakes and iron ore veins in Liangzhou, and Xiazhou also has iron ore veins. These are necessities for Great Qin. If I conquer Liangzhou and Xiazhou, then Xiazhou will be our Great Qin's."
There was territory in ancient times.”
"And if you want to completely occupy and digest this place, you must move the people. Then whether it is education, land, or merchants, it needs to be prosperous."
"Only when Xiazhou and Liangzhou are prosperous can they attract people to go there. In this way, it will be of great benefit to Da Qin to completely digest this place."
"What's more, Xiazhou and Liangzhou are far away from Guanzhong. Even the modification of Jinbulu will not affect our Daqin in a short period of time. When the world is unified, naturally no one dares to object. When Liangzhou and Xiazhou
Once you have achieved something, naturally no one will object.”
Having said this, Ying Gao stood up, walked to the huge map in the study, picked up the pole on the wooden shelf, dropped it on the map, and said.
"Father, look!"
Seeing Ying Gao walking to the map, Ying Zheng also walked to the map and his eyes fell on the position pointed by the pole.
"My ministers plan to take Ba Qing as the leader to open up the trade routes of Xiazhou, Bashu, Hanzhong and Xianyang, and then Jing Yu as the leader to open up the trade routes of the six countries in Shandong and Xianyang."
"With Shang Yang as the leader, we will open up the trade routes between Xianyang and Liangzhou, as well as the countries in the Western Regions and even the far west. In this way, the three major trade routes will prosper in Xiazhou, Liangzhou and Sanchuan County respectively."
"The three trade routes eventually intersected in Xianyang. In this way, the trade route headed by Jing Yu plundered the wealth of Shandong to nourish Xianyang, while the trade route headed by Shang Yang plundered the countries in the Western Regions to nourish Xianyang."
"The merchants headed by Ba Qing plundered Xiazhou, Bashu, and Hanzhong to nourish Xianyang. As a result, the world's wealth gathered in Xianyang, and it was all under the control of my father."
"At that time, it will not only weaken the wealth of the people of the world and stabilize the imperial court, but also make Xianyang the most prosperous metropolis in the world, and directly bind the world to Xianyang through merchants."
Listening to Ying Gao's impassioned and passionate words, a look of solemnity appeared on Ying Zheng's face. He knew in his heart that if Ying Gao's vision was followed, Xianyang would be extremely prosperous in the future.
It's just that this matter will have a great impact on Da Qin, and the most important thing is that once this is done, Ying Gao will be as rich as the enemy in the future.
Today, Ying Gao has a large number of soldiers. When Ying Gao once again controls the rare wealth in the world, no one in the whole world will be able to restrain Ying Gao.
Over the years, Ying Zheng has also been amazed by Ying Gao's achievements above merchants. Moreover, he knows how powerful merchants can be once they gather money to a certain extent.
A Wenxinhou Lu Buwei and a Wu'an Jun Yinggao are living examples.
At this thought, Ying Zheng smiled, turned to Ying Gao, and said, "In this way, the world's money may not fall into Gu's hands, but into your hands."
"Whether it is the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce, the Peacock Chamber of Commerce, or the Great Qin Soldiers Pension Fund, they are all under your command!"
Hearing this, Ying Gao smiled bitterly and said to Ying Zheng: "Father, I have left all the most profitable salt and iron business to you. I also do it for the Great Qin."
"What's more, the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce's income needs to be invested in the Academy, while the Peacock Chamber of Commerce's income needs to prosper Liangzhou and Xiazhou, and the Great Qin Soldiers' Pension Fund needs to pension the millions of Great Qin soldiers."
"Father, these should all be paid for by the national treasury. That one is not a bottomless pit that swallows gold."
"Hahaha"
With a loud laugh, Ying Zheng took a deep look at Ying Gao and said in a solemn tone: "It's not that I can't promise you, but you need to be responsible for the logistics of the Wansheng Army, Long Live Army and Servant Army."
"I can keep the military symbols, but the expenses of these armies are still your responsibility, not the treasury's responsibility."
Hearing this, Ying Gao wanted to die. The reason why he handed over the military power to Ying Zheng was because he didn't care. There was also a very important issue, which was that the cost of this large army was too high.
Anyway, the soldiers of the army did not need military symbols. He could mobilize them with a single order. Because of this, he gave the military symbols to Ying Zheng, hoping that the country would provide money and food to support this large army.
As a result, Ying Zheng saw through his mind and gave him a counterattack.
