Who knows, family members? The system was intercepted by the First Emperor.

Li Jiang:......

【What?Who is Brother Zheng talking about? 】

【Why treat money as dung?Can anyone else pull out the money? 】

[Why do you regard power as nothing?Are you talking about me? 】

【Help!Who will pinch Renzhong for me? 】

Li Jiang raised her head, wondering if her brother Zheng was joking?

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng looked at her with a serious face, forcing her to recognize this fact.

Even Fusu, a silly kid, looked at her with admiration and praised: "Mr. Li is really righteous."

[Gao Yi is out of the question, high blood pressure is coming soon...]

"Fusu, you have done a good job in this matter. From today on, you will stay with me, handle the government affairs together with me, and observe the affairs from the sidelines."

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and thought that Fusu had paid for the iron and sword making in advance. With a wave of his hand, he rewarded Fusu with several hundred gold.

Li Jiang's eyes turned red with envy of this reward.

[I’m sorry, I’ve embarrassed the time-travelers. 】

[Who is not doing well? It’s just me, the system has been lost, and I’m still doing so miserably. 】

[Various specialties of time-traveling women...]

【Eh?Specialty? ! 】

Li Jiang's eyes lit up and he looked at Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, I think about it day and night, always thinking about sharing your worries for your Majesty. Now that the Qin Dynasty is in need of money and food, I have a plan that can solve your Majesty's urgent needs."

Li Jiang looked at Ying Zheng, bowed and said, "However, I still need the king to reward me with a plaque written by my own hand."

"Oh?"

Ying Zheng listened to Li Jiang talking a lot, and he didn't understand the meaning of many words.

Now that he heard her say that she could solve Da Qin's urgent needs, Ying Zheng was a little impressed. He wanted to know how many things this woman had that he didn't know.

"Li Aiqing, come and listen."

Ying Zheng walked to the throne on the steps and sat down, looking at Li Jiang beside him and asked.

Fusu and Meng Changshan also looked at Li Jiang, wondering what Li Jiang wanted to do to solve the money and food problems of Da Qin.

"The plaque says: Royal Company."

Li Jiang said calmly: "Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants are indispensable. They are the mainstay of the country."

"Nowadays, the status of scholars and peasants in the Qin Dynasty is high, but the status of merchants is extremely low. If the king can give me a royal business plaque representing the monarch of the Qin Dynasty, I can earn ten carts of gold for the king, even more."

Li Jiang said firmly.

Although Shang Yang's reform greatly improved the status of farmers and soldiers, it also inevitably lowered the status of merchants.

A cheap businessman is a cheap businessman. At this time, businessmen are the lowest existence.

As long as people have a piece of land at home, they will not choose to go into business.

But if Qin wanted to develop into a powerful country, it was inevitable to drive the economy.

"Bullshit!"

Meng Changshan stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, businessmen are of low status. How can we let the ministers of the court do business? If word spreads and this is started, then everyone will go to business, and no one will be willing to join the army or farm!"

"What's more, if the ministers around the king go out to do business, they may make other countries laugh at them!"

Fusu also nodded. Although he didn't mean to look down on the businessman, he also felt bad.

Mr. Li is full of knowledge, how can she let the smell of copper taint her whole character.

Ying Zheng was also unwilling. Businessmen have always been the lowest. If Li Jiang was allowed to go out to do business, he would learn from his example. The common people would know how to make money by doing business, and the status of businessmen would be improved.

Who would then want to farm with their backs to the sky and the loess facing the earth?

Then who is willing to go into battle and charge to defend the enemy?

【humble?If Great Qin keeps suppressing merchants, then Great Qin will never be able to develop. 】

[Besides, who said I have to go out and do business in person? 】

"I dare not agree with what the Chief of Guards said."

Li Jiang felt that sitting on his knees was not impressive, so he stood up and walked to the palace and said, "Now the king must unify the six countries. Now the whole army needs to be replaced with armaments. How about money?"

"Where does this money come from?"

"Are you afraid of not having enough money to conquer other countries?" Meng Changshan sneered.

"Do you conquer other countries with your mouth?" Li Jiang pointed in the direction outside the gate of Xianyang Palace and said sternly.

"That's using the soldiers of our Great Qin, and every soldier is a citizen of our Great Qin, and there is a family standing behind them!"

Li Jiang looked at Meng Changshan: "The captain of the guard, does he know how many soldiers died in the first battle against the Yan Kingdom?"

"In the battle along the Yishui River alone, more than 3000 soldiers of our Qin Dynasty died. More than 300 families in the Qin Dynasty lost their sons and fathers!"

The war was cruel, and what she saw was that Qin unified the six countries.

But when she helped Ying Zheng sort out the casualties and asked Xijue, the descendant of the fallen soldiers, to count the number of soldiers, she truly realized how cruel the war was.

"The captain of the guard said it lightly. You can make money by conquering other countries. But if changing the armaments can reduce the casualties of my people in Great Qin, why not?"

Li Jiang raised his hand to Ying Zheng and said, "I can recruit all the merchants in the Qin State. Each county will appoint an imperial merchant. There is only one quota for each county. If you want it, you can exchange it with money."

Li Jiang slowly explained her thoughts to Ying Zheng.

To put it bluntly, there are two words: agency.

Recruit an agent in each city to work for the King of Qin.

"Increase the treatment of merchants. If we are afraid that people will blindly engage in business, we can increase the merchant tax. Similarly, we can also give more preferential treatment to merchants. At least, the merchant status will no longer be a lowly status."

Ying Zheng listened to Li Jiang's talk and nodded, his idea was good.

But... can a businessman spend so much money to get the title of Imperial Merchant?

After listening to Li Jiang's words, Fusu's thoughts gradually followed Li Jiang's, and finally he couldn't help but ask.

"Then...just because of this account ban, will they spend money to buy it?"

Fusu didn't understand: "Even if they don't want this title, aren't they just doing business instead of just doing business?"

Li Jiang smiled mysteriously: "Of course we can't just give them this title. The most important thing is that they not only have a title."

"You can also sell some things that others can't."

As soon as these words came out, Ying Zheng, Fusu and Meng Guardsmen all looked at Li Jiang.

"Selling refined salt."

Li Jiang didn't have much to do with it. Salt and iron were owned by the imperial government. Except for the government, everyone else would die if they got involved.

But now she actually said she wanted to sell refined salt.

Meng Changshan almost pulled out his sword and stabbed the woman to death.

"Kings!"

The captain of the guard glared at Li Jiang: "This person may be an enemy spy, why not arrest her and torture her! Who gave her such courage to dare to sell salt!"

When Ying Zheng heard what Li Jiang said, he was furious.

Salt is the foundation of the people. Without salt, people will be weak and unable to survive. How dare Li Jiang!

Fusu also looked shocked and in disbelief.

Li Jiang rolled his eyes at Meng Changshan.

[Did you hear clearly, what I said is selling refined salt!Not coarse salt! 】

[Why do you act like I’m going to be alone! 】

"Your Majesty, the common people use coarse salt and cannot afford refined salt, but there are always people who can afford it, including dignitaries and people from other countries."

Li Jiang looked at Ying Zheng calmly: "To make money, of course, let the money from other people's pockets go into our pockets. Let the money from other countries go into our Qin country."
