The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Jarrow also began to sit in the middle hall to handle official business. Because of Jarrow's straightforward temper, he scolded people mercilessly. It didn't take long for Jarrow's angry scolding to come from the main hall from time to time, which made the officials in the main hall tremble with fear.

......

After a while, the Royal Study Room!

Sitting on the carved dragon throne, Ying Chang looked at the two brothers Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling not far in front of him. The two brothers were very fast, and they arrived at the Imperial Study Room in less than a stick of incense.

The two brothers Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling had doubts on their faces, and they really wanted to ask what the reason was, but Ying Chang didn't ask, so it was hard for them to ask.

After being silent for a few breaths, Ying Chang just said: "Not long ago, Prime Minister You submitted the budget memorial. This year's budget reached more than 3000 million taels of silver. Although there will be a lot of extra expenses this year, as long as there are no accidents, the future The annual financial expenditure is more than 800 million!"

"As for Daqin, our annual fiscal revenue is only 600 million taels of silver and 700 million grains. In addition to the surplus of grain every year, there is a deficit of silver every year. The treasury now only has about 500 million taels of silver, which cannot support next year. I declare the two of you to enter the palace because of money!"

Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling couldn't help but frown when they heard these words, and they were also shocked. The annual financial expenditure of 3000 million taels of silver is too big!

"Your Majesty, I have some savings in my family, and I would like to donate 3000 million taels of silver!" Zhang Gui replied solemnly and respectfully.

Zhang Ling's face was as calm as water, and he obviously had no objection to Zhang Gui.

"Haha!" Ying Chang couldn't help laughing, the two brothers misunderstood themselves.

Seeing Ying Chang laughing, the two brothers suddenly looked confused, what are they laughing at?Could it be less? 3000 million taels of silver is a lot. This is half of Zhang's property. Just as the two continued to misunderstand, Ying Chang said with a gratified smile:

"The two lovers are willing to donate 3000 million taels of silver to Daqin. I am very pleased, but I announced you to come here not to let you donate money, but to let you make money for Daqin. You Zhang Chamber of Commerce, I have also Deep understanding!"

"You are very powerful. You started from scratch. In only ten years, you have built the No. [-] Chamber of Commerce in the Yan Empire and achieved an achievement that is incomparably rich. You have such a strong ability to make money. With this advantage, you should not bury it. The department will set up a business department, and set up a business department to be a fourth-rank doctor, and you two will be in charge!"

"Shangsi?" The two brothers were stunned again!

Their attention was not on Zhengsipin or so Langzhong at all, but on Shangsi, which was a very strange company that had never appeared before. This made the two brothers wonder, what does Shangsi care about?It sounds like the name is in charge of the National Chamber of Commerce.

"That's right, Shang Si!" Ying Chang said forcefully.

"The Chamber of Commerce is similar to the Chamber of Commerce, except that the Chamber of Commerce is controlled by private individuals, while the Chamber of Commerce is controlled by the imperial court. I think the two of you know better than me the money that a large chamber of commerce earns every year. The money earned by all chambers of commerce in a country is absolutely It’s ten times the revenue of the imperial court!” Ying Chang briefly introduced the Shang Division, and briefly explained why the Shang Division was established.

The business division is similar to the chamber of commerce. The establishment of the business division is to help the court make money. To put it bluntly, it is to compete with the people for profit. Ying Chang didn't see it that way.

Chapter 430 It's not about competing with the people for profit, it's a good strategy to get the best of all three!

Competing for profits with the people may make some businessmen feel uncomfortable, but it can allow the court to obtain a large amount of extra money every year, and it can also stimulate the country's economy. Competitiveness has motivation. Why not do things that have more advantages than disadvantages?Do you want to save face and suffer?

Furthermore, Ying Chang has the concept of a state-owned enterprise in his previous life, so he will definitely be able to make the company bigger in an orderly manner!

"Your Majesty, don't blame the minister for talking too much. If the business department and the chamber of commerce are the same, then they will compete with the people for profit, and Qin and the merchants will not be negligent!" Zhang Ling said with a worried tone.

Zhang Gui also nodded in agreement with Zhang Ling's point of view.

Interests are like a piece of fat, with a limited share. Originally, private merchants fought hard for the share. If the imperial court wants to fight for the share, the private merchants will join together to keep warm and fight against the imperial court together. Oh no, merchants!

"Your Majesty, once the imperial court and the merchants take profits, they will definitely let the private merchants gather together to keep warm and fight against the merchants together. The power of a single merchant is small, but if a group of merchants unite, the power is not small. Maybe they can let the merchants The company has lost all its money and ended in a dismal situation, and the court will lose face and money, and it will also make businessmen feel jealous of the court!" Zhang Gui said the disadvantages.

After hearing what the two brothers said, Ying Chang smiled disapprovingly and said: "The original intention of setting up a business company is not only to help the court make money, but also to support more businessmen, not to compete for profits with the people. Think about it, if the business company The company opened a winery, produced wine on a large scale, and then let the merchants buy it, and the merchants were selling it. Wouldn’t it be a benefit for both? And the company is funded by the imperial court, so it goes without saying that it can become a stable source of goods for the merchants. Just sell it!"

"Not only to open wineries, but also to open factories for everything worth selling in the market, and to manufacture goods wantonly, and the materials needed by the merchants can be purchased from thousands of merchants. In this way, why do they have to Jealous of the court? Not only should they not be jealous, but they should also be grateful!"

"Let me briefly talk about the law. The merchants buy raw materials from the people, and the people benefit. The merchants buy raw materials from the merchants. The merchants profit. The merchants process and manufacture, and make finished products. Common people, merchants benefit!"

"This is a virtuous circle, and a good strategy to achieve the best of all three!" Ying Chang said with flying brows.

After hearing Ying Chang's words, the two brothers suddenly realized, and finally understood Ying Chang's meaning, but in order to be more sure of the meaning, Zhang Gui immediately asked: "What does your Majesty mean, that the merchants are not dealing with the common people, but only deal with merchants? Only for supply?"

"Of course!" Ying Chang smiled lightly.

"If you want to open a winery, you must produce unique and good wine, otherwise the businessman will not give up the previous partner!" Zhang Ling said calmly.

Businessmen also have feelings. In the face of a little profit, they will choose their previous partners. There is no doubt about it. If you want to stand firm, you have to come up with the best things, otherwise, why should others buy from you, just because you are a member of the imperial court?

"You two are geniuses in this area. I will not interfere with the affairs of the business department, and I don't care what methods you use. Anyway, I only care about the results. Otherwise, you should return to the household department to be the head of the department!" Ying Chang did not intend to do it himself. , After all, talents are right in front of us, so there is no need to use them in vain.

"I obey the order!" Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling responded solemnly.

Ying Chang leaned back, leaned his back on the dragon chair, and said with a sigh of relief: "You go ahead first, and I will come back later to issue an order to set up a business division, and you two will be the left and right doctors of the business division, and the business division will be established. After that, the Ministry of Accounting will be responsible for everything, if there is anything that needs to be told to the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, if he can't provide it, then write to me!"

When Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling heard the words, they immediately bowed down and saluted, and said: "I will take my leave!"

After resigning, the two left the Imperial Study Room very quickly. Not long after the two left, Ying Chang issued an order to formally set up a business division. Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling also became the household department business division He is a doctor of the fourth grade!

After the establishment of the business department, Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling began to act. They divided into two groups and summoned the wine merchants in Xianyang City in the name of the household doctor. Facts have proved that the two brothers Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling are indeed business geniuses. An order has been signed before the factory is built. Although the number of orders is not many, it is also a good start.

After five days, Zhang Gui had already built the winery, and the equipment for wine training was ready. Zhang Ling also recruited a hundred old winemakers with high salaries. The winery, equipment, and people were ready. , Start working immediately!

However, the start of work was not smooth, because the two brothers wanted the best wine, and the ordinary wine was not enough. After ten days of failure and losses, Shangsi Winery finally refined the best wine. After the best wine came out, Zhang Gui recruited A thousand apprentices were asked to learn how to make wine from the master, while Zhang Ling took orders outside.

After the merchants in Xianyang City tasted the top-quality wine from Shangsi Winery, they were full of praise. They increased their orders one after another and paid a part of the deposit. The merchants who received the deposit no longer had to ask Jia Luo for money. I can support myself.

From the establishment of the factory to the profit, Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling only took [-] days. They are true business geniuses. Of course, luck is very important in it. deficit.

Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling not only produce top-quality wine, but also medium-to-high-end wine. In order to prevent someone from using the name of Shangsi Winery to sell fake wine, Zhang Ling went to the kiln factory to order clay pots for wine. Four words for the company's winery.

In order to prevent the businessman from breaking and causing losses during the transportation of wine, the careful Zhang Ling asked the kiln to use high-quality clay to make wine jugs.

The wine smells good, the quality is good, and it is relatively cheap after all. For a while, the wine merchants in Xianyang City began to order wine from Shangsi Winery, and the wine merchants in Xianyang City were very upset, thinking that the court would compete with them again. However, Zhang Ling came out again and asked them to refine low-grade fine wine, or change careers directly.

Some winemakers are willing to listen and act according to what Zhang Ling said, and some winemakers are unwilling to listen. These winemakers who are unwilling to listen will eventually have to close their doors because they cannot compete with Shangsi Winery. , This is not to say how powerful Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling are, but that the cost of Shangsi winery is very low, so the price to the wine merchants is also low.

PS: "Please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, and ask for a full order!"

Chapter 431 Happy Ying Chang!

Because the raw materials of Shangsi winery are all aged rice in the national treasury, Shangsi pays money to the Ministry of Households and buys them from the Ministry of Households. After all, Shangsi is an imperial government office, so it is naturally much cheaper. In addition to the advantages, the quality of wine is also a big advantage.

Shangsi Winery swept and killed [-]% of the winemakers with two absolute advantages!

.....

Time passed slowly, and with the passage of time, time came to May 14, 23, Chenshi, Qilin Palace!

"Haha, hahaha!"

In the Qilin Hall, Ying Chang sat on the black carved dragon throne, holding a letter in his hand, looking at the contents of the letter, Ying Chang kept laughing, and the military officials standing on both sides of the hall couldn't help showing their understanding. smile.

This letter was sent by General Gu Yuan, Alukgo. His Majesty laughed when he saw the letter. It must be a big victory for the Prairie Army!

"Your Majesty, what kind of happy event is it?"

Luo Xing, who came back from Wujin Camp to participate in the wedding ceremony, stood out of the queue with a smile all over his face. He only had two characters of curiosity written on his forehead. After several years, Luo Xing had changed a lot, exuding a heroic spirit all over his body. It's just that he is smiling now, which makes people feel that he is out of tune with his temperament.

Ying Chang got up from the black carved dragon throne with a blushing face, strode down the high platform, and came to Luo Xing, who was full of curiosity and watched by all the officials, Ying Chang handed the white paper to Luo Xing, Luo Xing Xing Er quickly took it without saying a word, and when he saw the above content, a look of excitement appeared on Luo Xing's face.

Standing behind Luo Xing, Ma Bold and Zhao Hua, Yang Long, and Yang Hu in front of him also hurriedly moved to Luo Xing's side to watch the above content together. Anyone who saw the content was like Luo Xing. Apart from moving over, the rest of the military officers moved over and saw the above content.

Dozens of officials could only watch helplessly. Seeing that all the officials were so curious about the content on the letter paper, Ying waved at the line of officials and smiled, "I won't convey them one by one, you can come and see for yourself, haha! "

After the words were finished, dozens of officials walked towards Luo Xing, and Luo Xing also handed the letter paper to Yang Ze, Minister of the Ministry of War, and a group of people gathered around Yang Ze to read it.

"Ha ha!"

"The Yan Empire still wants to invade my Great Qin with this little ability?"

"Two armies of [-] troops are still unable to defeat the Prairie Army. It's really useless. I don't know where the Yan Empire has the courage to fight against us!"

"If it weren't for the distance, Daqin would not be able to tell the origin, how could the Yan Empire be allowed to be unrestrained!"

"Seeing this, I finally feel relieved!"

"Hahaha!"

The military officials laughed from ear to ear, talking happily, and many ministers felt a little disdain for the Yan Empire because of this. With this little ability, they also want to be an enemy of Daqin?My brain is flooded!

That's right, this piece of letter paper is the good news from Alukgo. Since the start of the Qin-Yan war, the Yanxibei and Yanbei two major camps, the Grassland Legion, have killed a total of [-] Yan army's iron cavalry. Yan Jun was arrogant and beat Yan Jun back to the Great Wall. Now Yan Jun is a coward and dare not go out of the Great Wall.

Alukgo also said that if it wasn't for the fact that the Yan army had too many troops, they would have wanted to directly concentrate their forces to storm the Northwest Great Wall of Yan.

Although Alukgo didn't say that he was sure of victory, it can be seen from the letter he wrote that the imperial court did not have to worry about the safety of the eastern area of ​​the Bailan Prairie and the southern area of ​​the Ningta Prairie. They could rest assured and develop their national strength.

"His Majesty!"

Yang Ze held the letter paper in both hands, and handed it to Ying Chang. The military officials had returned to their positions, and they were all standing in their positions. Ying Chang took the letter paper, turned around and walked up the high platform, and sat on the jet-black carved dragon throne again. Looking at Baiguan with a smile on his face, he said:

"Dear dears, the battle between Qin and Yan has just kicked off, and my Great Qin has won a big victory. I believe it will not be long before the Yan Empire will stop fighting obediently and dare not make enemies with my Great Qin, haha!"

This news was a big surprise for Ying Chang, because this was the first time he had fought against the Yan army, and he was not sure. In addition, Zhang Feizi said that the troops stationed at the Great Wall of Yan were all the elite of the Yan Empire, so he was even more worried. I became nervous, worried that the Prairie Army was not the opponent of the Yan Army.

But the facts have proved that the overlord of the grassland is the overlord after all. Except for Daqin who can defeat them, all the countries have nothing to do with them. Otherwise, it would not be Daqin who swept the northern desert, but Dayan.

"Yan Empire is arrogant and arrogant, trying to challenge me, Da Qin, but now it is shooting itself in the foot!"

"Like Yan Empire, you have to beat him so badly that he is half dead!"

"Hahaha!"

The military officials said a word to each other, and every minister had a strong smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, not only will the Yan Empire not cease fighting, but it will even step up its offensive. Your Majesty must take precautions in advance!"

At this time, Zuo Prime Minister Zhang Feizi walked out of the queue with a solemn expression and bowed to Yingchang.

After the words fell, the smiles on the faces of the military officers gradually froze, and the military officers couldn't help but fell into deep thought, thinking why the Yan Empire wanted to step up its offensive. They don't dare to move rashly inside the Great Wall, why should they increase their offensive, don't they want the country?

The smile on Ying Chang's face quickly dissipated, his brows could not help but frown, and he said with a hint of hesitation in his tone: "Zhang Aiqing, why did the Yan Empire step up its offensive? Isn't a big defeat enough to wake up the Emperor Yan and the Yan court officials? "

Zhang Feizi shook his head, and said with a wry smile on his face: "Your Majesty, I know the temper of Emperor Yan best, but he launched the Qin-Yan War just to vent his anger and beat Daqin, but this time he was defeated. Face, the showy Emperor Yan will definitely not give up. As for Man Chaowu, he is not afraid of His Majesty's jokes. After the minister leaves Yan, I am afraid that there will be no minister who can stabilize Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan will not listen to their words !"

After hearing these words, Ying Chang looked a little dignified, and all the military officials were also frowning. This was not because they were afraid of the Yan Empire, but because the Great Qin Empire was still unable to conquer the country. According to Zhang Feizi's description, Emperor Yan was a The emperor who does not shed tears when he sees the coffin, if the soldiers and horses cannot defeat their imperial capital, Emperor Yan will not admit defeat.

Anyway, in a word, the Yan Empire is a lunatic, a lunatic who has no brains. If he plays too big with him, he will be dragged to death by him. At that time, the two empires of Qin and Yan will not get any benefits.

"Then Yi Aiqing sees, what should I do, Daqin?" Ying Chang narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked closely at Zhang Feizi.

PS: "Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a full order, and ask for three daily tickets!"

Chapter 432 Self-confidence in vain!

Minister Wu also looked at Zhang Feizi, thinking that Zhang Feizi is the person who is most familiar with Emperor Yan, and he should have a way. Under the eyes of all the officials, Zhang Feizi bent down calmly and wrote a report: "Return to Your Majesty, There is one way, it's very simple, I go to Yan to plead guilty!"

"The origin of this war originated from the minister. Emperor Yan hated his minister for betraying Yan, and wanted to force Da Qin to hand over his minister by means of war. As long as the minister went to Yan to plead guilty, Emperor Yan would be able to extinguish his anger, so that Qin and Yan would not have to go to war. , Great Qin will have time to develop its national power!"

Wu Baiguan was shocked, never expecting that Zhang Feizi would come up with this method.

"Aiqing is gone, I'm afraid there will be one less Zhang Feizi in the world!" Ying Chang's face was so gloomy that water dripped out, and his voice became deep and deep.

Zhang Feizi stroked his beard with a smile on his face, and said with a calm smile: "Actually, before I came to Qin, I already guessed it, and I have made all preparations. As for whether there is one less Zhang Feizi in the world, haha, I have already guessed it. I don't care, anyway, I know, if I'm dead, there will still be tens of thousands of Zhang Feizi!"

"Individual life and death are insignificant. The interests of the empire are the greatest. Sacrificing one minister can calm the war and give Daqin time to develop. In this way, the death of the minister is too worthwhile!"

Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling, the left and right doctors of Shangsi, had anxious eyes moistened. They never thought that their father came to Qin with the intention of dying. They wanted to stand up to dissuade them, but they saw Zhang Feizi's warning. eyes.

All the military officials sighed inwardly, and were a little moved, especially some ministers who hated Zhang Feizi, they all asked themselves, can they live with conscience if they hate this kind of virtuous man who does not care about his life for the benefit of the empire?

"Your Majesty, this matter must never happen. I swear to the death against Prime Minister Zuo going to Yan!" Prime Minister Right Chang Zifei stood out of the queue with a firm expression.

"Your Majesty, I seconded the right prime minister!"

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees!"

"Your Majesty, I object to Prime Minister Zuo going to Yan!"

"Your Majesty, you must not agree to this matter. Once my Daqin agrees to this matter, then the nations of the nine states will think that my Daqin is soft and afraid. In this way, the national prestige that my Daqin Iron Cavalry has finally established will be wiped out. Save, and people all over the world will ridicule me, Great Qin!"

"Your Majesty, let me assassinate Emperor Yan, and I promise to succeed!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the eighteen devils into the Yan territory, enter the Yan Palace, and behead the Emperor Yan!"

"Your Majesty, they want to tear their skins at us, so what can we bear, if we don't go to war, then assassinate Emperor Yan, anyway, my Daqin has plenty of masters!"

Regardless of whether they were officials or military officers, they all stood up against Zhang Feizi's plea in Yan. Even Zhao Hua, Luo Xing, and Ma Daudao, three hot-blooded generals, had already clamored to assassinate Emperor Yan.

Although Zhang Feizi has no waves on the surface, in fact he has been moved inwardly.

Playing for Daqin is worth it!

Zhang Gui and Zhang Ling also had the same idea as him. Seeing Baiguan support their father so much, the two of them were also very moved. To contribute, I am willing to do my best and die, and I will die without hesitation!

"I can lead [-] heavy cavalry to enter from the Great Wall in the northwest of Yan, and I am [-]% sure to defeat the Yan army, and then use the method of fighting to support the war, and I should be able to kill their Wuyang Emperor Capital!"

The taciturn Wu Wang Bai Qi also let out a cold and hoarse voice at this moment!

Hearing Wu Wang Baiqi's icy hoarse voice, the military officials couldn't help but shudder, and all the military officials also showed admiration on their faces. It's good to have strength, and they are confident enough to dare to say what they want to kill Emperor Yan.

Ying Chang closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. All military officials looked at Ying Chang, waiting for Ying Chang to give an order!

After a long time, Ying Chang has never thought about it for such a long time. At the beginning, the Northern Expedition was just a matter of thought, but now he has been thinking about it for so long, which shows that this matter is bigger than the Western Expedition.
