Emperor Qin

King Qin's surprise was justified. Since the reform of the king of Shang, the state of Qin has used all means to suppress merchants. Not only can merchants not buy food, but they have also charged ten times the heavy tax on wine and meat. It was nationalized, so that ordinary people who did not have permission could not travel far.

This last one is more than the limit. How can a businessman have the soil to exist even if he has to get permission to go out?

Therefore, Qin Fa is meticulous enough to give each oxcart a license plate, so that people cannot send things casually.

Are there still merchants in the Qin Dynasty?

Yes, the polarization of the Qin Dynasty was quite serious. For example, Widow Qing is now a well-known big business in Shu. one-third of the population.

What the Qin Dynasty brought down was, on the contrary, small businessmen who maintained the vitality of the society, and the blow to big businesses was not that high.

Even as far as Yan Jiang knew, Wu Shiluo, the little brother he had a crush on back then, relied on Qin's policy to send a large number of cattle and horses. When Qin Wang received them, not only did he have no intention of suppressing business, but instead asked Nanjun to increase the supply of wine and tea. , In exchange for cattle and horses from the grassland.

Over the years, the Qin Dynasty has been able to attack various countries with money and food wave after wave, thanks to the financial resources provided by the caravan and the Shaofu.

It is rare that King Qin is interested in business, so Yan Jiang is of course willing to chat with him.

The two sat together and looked at the income of the Young Mansion these years. This is also the reason why the King of Qin has a lot of vigilance about the business. In recent years, the income of the Young Mansion has exceeded the national treasury, and there are even signs of surpassing it.

You must know that the poll tax, commercial tax, and income from mountains, rivers and forests collected by the Shaofu belong to the private property of King Qin; and since ancient times, the land rent collected by Zhisu Neishi has been the main income of the state.

Yan Jiang drew a line chart of these income comparisons to make a chart, which directly shows that after the North-South caravan started trading, the income of Zhisu Neishi and Shaofu began to increase significantly.

The King of Qin asked: "I don't have so much money to watch cattle and horses."

It doesn't add up.

So Yan Jiang told him about the role of commerce in promoting the industry—is it important to grow grapes?Planted grapes wine dignitaries, right?The wine sold can also be used as medicine. The medicine for curing water gu is very expensive in Chudi. This kind of wine alone can take away a lot of Chudi's wealth.

In addition, tea has been widely planted in Yunmeng Baiyue recently, where the water is divided into seven and three, and the land is divided into three and two, and there is not much rice to grow. It is a big change for them to grow tea, and they can exchange tea. Salt pottery and other living things.

Then the caravan exchanged salt, wine and sugar for cattle, sheep and horses, which made huge profits. You have also seen that. More importantly, cattle and horses effectively made up for the lack of people in Guanzhong. Isn't reduction a reality?

More importantly, as the output of winter wheat increases, everyone grows more food, so that there will be more time to weave cloth, brew wine and build houses, creating more output value, so your business tax over the years has been reduced. There will be more, of course, another reason is the war of destroying the country, the property of the six countries has been collected by you.

Qin Wang was thoughtful, then picked up the chart, tapped it with his fingertips, thoughtful.

Yan Jiang saw that he seemed to be touched, and felt that what he said was not in vain, so he stretched his left and right hands behind his back, and picked up the flower that was used as a backrest.

Then he moved quietly, wanting to see the grown blue-black tiger.

Heihu's two big cats have grown into tigers and are in their prime.

In the past few days, Ah Zheng once suggested that Huahua and Heihu have a litter of cubs again. Yan Jiang thought it made sense and planned to let Huahua go to see Heihu's sister again. , I would rather die than obey!In the end, he slumped on the ground and turned into a tiger cake, which could not be dragged away.

So, let's find Hua Er and go to meet the black girl. I haven't seen Fu Su for a long time, and I don't know how he is now.

Yan Jiang thought casually, touching Huahua from head to tail.

Then his hand was taken, Yan Jiang looked at the hand that was touching Huwan, smiled at the king, and hooked his finger on his palm as if nothing had happened, and got a warning look from King Qin.

"The king is diligent in political affairs and doesn't take care of others. I really admire him." Knowing that this workaholic puts state affairs first, Yan Jiang Yiran stepped forward and said, "I have a plan, and I want to discuss it with the king. I don’t know Ah Zheng~ would you like to listen?”

He blew lightly in King Qin's ear.

King Qin took a deep breath and said calmly, "Ah Jiang said so."

"The state of Qi must be in dire straits now. Your majesty might as well send merchants to purchase grain in Qi. In less than three months, the people of Qi will probably welcome the Qin army into the country in person. By then, the people of Yao and Jia will have a lot to do."

Yao Jia and Li Shiqi are all mouths that can bring the dead back to life, and they know what to do.

Yan Jiang didn't need to elaborate, King Qin already understood what he meant. He stared at the map on the wall, nodded and said, "Just look at the time of life and death, the whole country of Qi is united, and they are still busy."

Most of the land of Qi uses salt and iron for profit, and the Qin State used low-priced salt and iron to break its arms, and the tax was more than tripled. Ann, chaos is bound to happen.

He only needs to send out intermediaries to provoke the government of Qi State. Under internal and external troubles, he doesn't know whether the monarch and ministers of Qi State will survive the next year.

Thinking of this, he entered the work mode, lowered his head and said to the waiter beside him, "Chuan Weiliao."

Yan Jiang took care of the king, got up with a smile, and went out with Huahua.

He is only responsible for making an opinion. King Qin is the most powerful king in Chinese history, and he will arrange the rest seamlessly. If he doesn't have time to play with him, if he talks too much, he can get involved in politics.

Although I have done so many times, it is just that the dike of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. If you want to live a long life, you have to pay attention to details.

What's more, with this business law, as long as Ah Zheng has fun, then everything is easy to talk about.

When Yan Jiang took Huahua to find Fusu, the eldest son of the King of Qin had already grown taller, and his brows were only vaguely similar to the deep outline of the King of Qin. It makes people have to praise the humble gentleman, as if he is like a grinder.

The two big tigers were napping on the side. When they saw the Two-legged beast that had nursed them and wiped their asses, they rushed over and piled Yan Zi into their huge body, and Huahua yelled at them.

And the two big adult tigers roared back in displeasure, showing no respect for the old and the young at all.

Yan Jiang appeases the three big cats, sends Huahua aside to play, and then drags the two cats to sit next to Fusu.

Fusu smiled and poured him a new cup of tea.

"Long time no see, Mr. is as handsome as before." He gently placed the tea bowl in front of Yan Jiang, and there was a volume of "Xunzi" spread out on his desk.

"Fusu has grown up," Yan Jiang sighed softly, "I almost couldn't recognize him."

Fu Su nodded lightly: "The world is impermanent, how can it not change?"

As soon as the conversation started, they exchanged pleasantries, and Yan Jiang casually asked what he was doing now and how he was doing well.

Fusu explained them one by one. As a son, he has been studying and making friends all these years. A few days ago, his father asked him to worship Wang Wan as his teacher and learn how to manage political affairs.

Yan Jiang looked at his expression carefully, and smiled slightly: "So, it's not bad."

Then he said he wanted to borrow the tiger, and Fusu naturally agreed, and the two said goodbye.

Huayi is a male tiger, which was mercilessly given to Heihu by Yan Jiang, while Huaer ate tons of good food with the original owner, and met a little black tiger, but hei is underage and cannot breed for cherished animals I made a contribution.

Yan Jiang then returned Huaer to Fusu, and rejected Fusu's invitation to stay for dinner.

Then I met a handsome 12-year-old boy, claiming that he had heard that he was very knowledgeable, and wanted to worship him as a teacher, and hoped that Yan Zi would allow him.

Yan Jiang politely refused, without even asking his name.

When he returned to King Qin's bedroom, King Qin had been waiting for him for a long time.

"I've seen Fusu," King Qin snorted, "Why didn't you save food, you know how much thought he has put into it?"

"Of course it's delicious here." Yan Jiang sat beside him, "I'm afraid he has had a bad time in the past two years."

"Born in the Wang family, it should be like this," King Qin called someone to pass on the meal, "In the past, the widow indulged him too much."

He didn't need to do anything, it was enough for Fusu to know how fragile his position was without King Qin's favor, and outside courtiers would not disrespect him, but they would definitely stay away.

"I heard that the great Confucian Chun Yuyue is resigning as the teacher of the eldest son of the king?" Yan Jiang asked with a smile. Back then, this great Confucian hated Fu Su's coming to him very much, and even secretly tripped him up.

King Qin's expression was slightly cold: "I'm sure."

Yan Jiang could clearly see that although King Qin was teaching his son a lesson, he did not allow others to bully him. He couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, eating the soup on the table. His diet had to be light these days.

King Qin ate two mouthfuls of venison, and commented: "Han Fei entered the court, Confucianism is in trouble."

"Yeah." Yan Jiang agreed. The Legalists had Li Si and Han Fei who had entered the court, so the Baijia must be uneasy.

"Hou Sheng has already wavered, begging for an official from the widow."

"Yeah." Yan Jiang nodded, this treacherous minister is also a smart person.

"Help Su under Wang Wan and see how he responds."

"Yeah." Yan Jiang nodded, this soup is delicious, Taichu should add chicken legs.

Then he didn't hear King Qin speak for a long time, he looked up and saw King Qin looked displeased, staring at him, as if condemning his perfunctory.

"Human feelings are warm and cold, he must have seen it," Yan Jiang wiped his mouth, and said calmly, "But these are your family affairs, just don't get me involved."

"Isn't it too late to draw a clear line now?" King Qin's lips curled up slightly, "Or the widows didn't try their best, making Ah Jiang feel that they are not close enough?"

Yan Jiang originally wanted to say that they are not considered a family if they are not married, but he immediately reacted vigilantly: "Ah Zheng was joking, we are husband and wife, and I am your family."

Just kidding, if you really say it, Ah Zheng's temperament is not impossible to make him a queen.

King Qin's expression was slightly warm, and he whispered softly in his ear: "A Jiang thought that if he showed weakness now, he would be able to expose today's teasing?"

Yan Jiang immediately said seriously: "Ah Zheng, am I talking about business?"

"It's getting late, it's time to talk about private matters."

"The affairs of the king are all state affairs, so there are no private affairs." Yan Jiang said righteously and sternly.

"Since there is no personal matter, then we can talk about it..." King Qin said indifferently, "Although it takes some effort, but the heart is tight."

"..."

……

Afterwards, Yan Jiang fell into a deep sleep, King Qin stared at him for a long time, arranged the quilt for him, and closed his eyes.

Soon, Maotouying landed on the case, flipped through a pile of memorials, and after a while, it found a letter reporting that Yanzi and Fusu were conspiring secretly, and it seemed that there was something wrong with it.

He memorized the signature of the performer.

Okay, the palace wall has been vacant for a long time, it's time to hang something.
