Daqin: Reign in the world

The five people sitting around here who ate the hump, three of them could be said to be the top rich merchants in Daqin.

Although wealth may not be the most, when it comes to connections, no one compares.

When they sat together, the most talked about was still Keju.

After all, Li Cunxiao and Meng Yan are both people in the officialdom. They have no interest in making money.

Daqin forbade officials to do business.

So there are not many things to talk about, and the final common topic still falls on Keju.

By this time, these five people had a little understanding, why did the emperor publicize the Great Qin Qiju with such fanfare?

This is the best link between different people.

At the same time, there were several wealthy merchants who hosted a banquet for Qu Zheng and Tao Tong at the most famous Xingxing Tower in Xianyang City.

Those rich merchants all formed a deep cooperative relationship with Qu Zheng and Tao Tong from the beginning when they were trafficking in livestock.

With these two high-ranking officials, who showed them the way, they have always made money smoothly. Moreover, he also won the reputation of cooperating with the policies of the imperial court and became the preferred merchant of the record.

This time, the topic of conversation is still livestock.

Since the establishment of Zhangye County, there has also been a large flow of livestock from here. On the whole, Daqin is no longer as short of cattle as before.

Now, the price on the market is also much lower than before.

These merchants gathered to consult Qu Zheng and Tao Tong for a way out.

Other businessmen make more and more money. They are engaged in the livestock business, but now they are not as anxious as before.

Qu Zheng and Tao Tong also understood the predicament they were in.

In the face of their doubts, they are also a little helpless.

Business is like this, a profiteering industry, can not be profiteering forever. There are always times when profits are lower and uncomfortable.

At this time, a businessman asked: “Lord Qu, Lord Tao, we have collectively thought of an idea. However, the imperial court needed to cooperate in issuing a decree. Can you two help refer to the reference to see if it is feasible? ”

That’s too daring!

Dare to ask the imperial court to amend the decree?

The merchant saw that Qu Zheng and Tao Tong’s faces changed, and hurriedly explained.

“The two adults are angry, you listen to me first. The decree we are asking for to be amended is long overdue. ”

Hearing him say this, Qu Zheng and Tao Tong’s faces eased.

“Say, what the hell are you going to do?”

The merchant brewed his emotions for a moment and spoke.

“In the past, Daqin had a rule that princes ate cattle, Qing ate sheep, and scholars ate pigs. People who are not level enough, if they eat indiscriminately, it is considered to be overkill. In fact, this decree has not been implemented for a long time. However, the imperial court did not declare it nullified. In this way, the hearts of the people will still have some scruples and dare not eat meat with confidence. ”

It turned out to be the case.

Qu Zheng and Tao Tong are now in high positions, but they have not reached the point of real Qing. But they actually like to eat lamb every day at home.

In this way, they have also overstepped their actions.

This decree should indeed be repealed!

This view was unanimously agreed upon.

If the people were encouraged to eat more pigs and sheep, it would mean an endless stream of wealth for the merchants who sold their cattle.

For ordinary people, it is also a happiness to finally be able to let go of eating meat.

For this kind of request, Qu Zheng and Tao Tong patted their chests and told them.
