Daqin: I Want to Be a Powerful Minister, but the First Emperor Actually Passed The Throne to Me

Qin Shihuang gestured, Meng Yi stood up, holding a tray in both hands.

A beautiful tray inlaid with agate on which is a sheet of paper.

Paper is no stranger to Daqin these days.

Brother Zheng built the Great Wall in the north, Qin Zhidao spanned more than a thousand miles, and Lingqu directly took Baiyue.

Can be described as the first emperor of China's infrastructure maniac!

With the advent of papermaking, I wish paper could be spread all over the country!

Brother Zheng's court is the one of Ying Zheng's!

The operation of the centralized system is extremely efficient!

Han's inheritance of the Qin system also fully proves that the Daqin system has indeed created an unprecedented precedent!

"Left Prime Minister Feng Qujie, the method of refining refined salt is in this paper. I order you to immediately urge the salt officials in the world to refine refined salt for me and sell it at one-tenth of the price of coarse salt." Qin Shihuang said solemnly.

one tenth!

Hearing this, Feng Qujie was shocked!

The price of coarse salt in Daqin is extremely high!

There is even an old saying that if there is salt, the country will be rich!

Sometimes a pound of gold can be exchanged for a pound of salt!

And the price of salt in Daqin has even reached five hundred cents for a bucket of salt!

If the price is reduced to one tenth, it will be fifty cents for a bucket of salt!

In this way, salt merchants and dignitaries all over the world will go bankrupt!

And it has reached the point of monopoly of the Daqin government!

Feng Qujie opened the paper, and after taking a closer look, his pupils shrank suddenly!

This refined salt refining method is described in great detail and the steps are concise.

Refining refined salt according to the above method, refined salt is even inexhaustible and inexhaustible!

Taking a deep breath, Feng Qujie carefully put away the paper.

The importance of this paper cannot be overstated.

Feng Qujie immediately knelt on the ground, bowed to Qin Shi Huang, and said solemnly, "I will thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of the common people of Qin!"

Qin Shihuang smiled slightly and said solemnly: "No one may disclose the method of refining refined salt. This method will be included in the laws of Daqin from now on, and only Daqin official refining and selling refined salt."

The quality and price of refined salt are extremely close to the people. Qin Shihuang believes that it will not be long before the people all over the world will be grateful to him!

Moreover, there is still a steady stream of money pouring into the treasury of Da Qin!

Under the stage, Feng Qujie listened to the order, and immediately replied: "I will obey His Majesty's order!"

...

After the court retreated, Feng Qujie immediately ran out of Xianyang Palace in the eyes of the ministers.

Soon, Feng Qujie ordered the salt officials all over the world to convene according to Qin Shihuang's request.

Refine the salt according to the method on the paper.

In a few days, the whole world of Qin produced millions of kilograms of refined salt!

With the influx of these refined salts into the world, and Qin Shihuang issued an edict to promote the refined salt in person!

Zheng Ge's personality charm is there, and he advertises Jingyan in disguise.

People flocked to buy refined salt.

All over Daqin, there are official salt-selling shops newly opened by Yanguan.

The morning sun is rising, the rising sun is blazing, the breeze is sweeping, and the noise of the streets is endless!

The official store of Xianyang City.

As soon as the shop opened, countless people lined up for thousands of meters outside the shop!

Some of them are nearby traders, some are shopkeepers in taverns, and more are ordinary people in Daqin.

In order to maintain order, Feng Qujie even dispatched Qin soldiers to maintain order at the scene!

The refining method of refined salt is very simple and the yield is very high.

Even if the price is one-tenth of coarse salt, it can't hold up such a huge sales volume, and Daqin officials make a lot of money.

Feng Qujie watched this scene, thinking that just relying on this shop in Xianyang City, he could make money every day.

Thousands of shops in all parts of Daqin contribute to the wealth of Daqin treasury every day.

"Your Majesty is really a god!" Feng Qujie sighed sincerely!

The treasury of the Qin State, which had already bottomed out, was now at an unprecedented peak under His Majesty's god-like operation!

Moreover, the business exclusively sold by the official family of refined salt has allowed the Daqin treasury to be continuously replenished!

Moreover, looking at the grateful eyes of those people, Feng Qujie understood that they would be more grateful to Da Qin in their hearts!

...

The salt merchants in Xianyang City gathered together and stood aside, frowning!

Since Daqin officially launched refined salt, their coarse salt can no longer be sold!

They have also tasted refined salt, which is dozens of times the quality of the coarse salt they sell!

But the price is only one tenth of the refined salt they sell!

For a while, these salt merchants had mixed feelings in their hearts and couldn't help sighing.

"Where did Your Majesty get so much refined salt? The quality is excellent, and it is dozens of times better than our coarse salt! And the price is only one-tenth of our coarse salt. Isn't Your Majesty not afraid of losing money?"

"Losing money? Impossible! How wise is Your Majesty? Unparalleled in the ages! Presumably His Majesty has been instructed by God to obtain the method of refining refined salt. From then on, the official salt official sells it, and there is nothing for our salt merchants!"

"Your Majesty is really a god! If it wasn't for His Majesty's business, we would have obtained the secret recipe for refining refined salt with the help of Minister Xianyang, but now it is the wise and unparalleled Majesty's business, so we should get rid of it as soon as possible. With that thought in mind, do whatever you want."

"Let's change careers. But what can we do now that we change careers? Our family has been a salt merchant from generation to generation. Except for the salt and money in the family, I can't do anything, hey, a touch of sadness."

...

Compared with the sighs of the salt merchants, the people of Xianyang who queued up to buy refined salt were elated.

"Your Majesty is truly a saint through the ages! It is much more benevolent and righteous than those so-called profiteers. We couldn't eat this refined salt before. His Majesty is not only willing to sell it to us, but also responsive to our requests, buying as much as we want, which is even more rare. What's more, the price is only one tenth of the coarse salt!"

"This is equivalent to giving it to our people for free! Your Majesty sent someone to refine refined salt, presumably the cost is not low, and he is willing to sell it to us at such a low price. He is really the emperor of benevolence and righteousness. Who dares to be in front of this old man? Slander your majesty's name as a tyrant, the old man will kill him even if he dies!"

"When I go back later, the old man will personally burn incense to the statue of His Majesty's Ancestral Dragon. His Majesty is full of heroism. This old man wishes His Majesty a long life with heaven and earth! If I hear the rumors of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, this old man will report it to the court as soon as possible! You have nothing to do when you are full! Your Majesty is so kind to us ordinary people, why do you want us to put our heads on the belts of our pants to court them, the mice of the six countries?"

"Your Majesty not only gave us refined salt, but also popularized paper. A few hundred pieces of paper can record the contents of a book. The price is only a few cents, so that ordinary people like us can also have the opportunity to buy books and even learn to read. It's not like the bamboo slips of the past. The expensive ones are going to die, and the cumbersome ones are going to die. Except for those cynical Confucian students, we are all peasants, how can we have time to decorate that stuff?"

"..."

Similar voices came one after another, and the people were sincerely grateful to Qin Shihuang, and they were glad that they were born in the prosperous world of Qin!

In front of the thousands of Zulong statues in Daqin, the incense is constantly burning and the offerings are endless!
