Chapter 144 Xiao He's Goal
After getting Young Master Gao's belt, Ying Yu looked at Young Master Jianglu again.
"Third brother, I will lend you a tiara."
Jiang Lu originally wanted to refuse, but Ying Yu never gave him a chance to speak.
Pressing down on his head, he directly took off the crown.
"What on earth are you going to say? Have you had enough trouble?"
Brother Zheng on the high platform couldn't stand it any longer, and immediately scolded him angrily.
Upon hearing this, Ying Yu turned around and took another scroll of bamboo slips from Brother Zheng's desk.
"Everyone, here is one half tael, do you believe that this prince can turn this half tael into many?"
When the officials heard the words, they immediately showed surprise and suspicion.
"His Royal Highness, you have been around for a long time, do you just want to do tricks?"
Looking at the strange eyes of everyone, Ying Yu didn't bother to talk nonsense, and said directly:
"Everyone, suppose the crown prince buys a belt from the second elder brother with one and a half taels, then the second elder brother owns one and a half taels. The prince owns the belt, right?"
As soon as the words fell, Ying Yu tossed the half tael in his hand to Young Master Gao.
Looking at the half-two in his hand, Young Master Gao was speechless for a while.
It's only worth one and a half taels with my belt?
Ying Zheng and the officials looked at Ying Yu suspiciously, unable to understand what he was trying to say.
"Everyone, if Young Master Gao uses this one and a half tael to buy a tiara from Young Master Jiang Lu, this half tael will be in the hands of Young Master Jiang Lu, and Young Master Gao will get the tiara, right?"
Ying Yu smiled, snatched the half tael from Young Master Master's hand, and then threw it to Young Master Jiang Lu.
Everyone nodded slightly after hearing the words.
They feel as if they understand something, but they seem to understand everything.
"Everyone, if the young master uses this half tael again, he bought a roll of bamboo slips from the crown prince.
Did the crown prince get one and a half taels, while the son, Jiang Lu, got the bamboo slips? "
When everyone heard the words, they nodded.
Many people's eyes lit up, apparently already thinking of the relationship.
Looking at the pensive Baiguan, a smile appeared on the corner of Ying Yu's mouth:
"During the many transactions just now, did the prince, the second brother, and the third brother all get what they wanted?"
"Trading many times, it seems that the price has not changed, but it is not."
"Because there is also a flow problem involved.
The more transactions, the greater the turnover generated. "
"Everyone, think about it, take one and a half taels from the treasury and put them in the market, and this one and a half taels will be circulated back and forth a thousand times in the hands of merchants, that is a thousand and a half taels of flowing water.
What about ten thousand times?
How about a hundred thousand times?
And my Daqin can completely collect business taxes according to the turnover, so this one and a half taels may be multiplied by a thousand times. "
After Ying Yu finished speaking, there was silence in the Qilin Hall.
Can you still play like this?
All the officials were stunned.
But after thinking about it carefully, I understood what the prince wanted to express.
It's all about money making money.
"I didn't expect that this way of merchants has such a profound truth!"
Zheng Ge, who was on the high platform for a long time, said with emotion.
"Yeah, who would have thought that one and a half coins would bring such considerable value after being circulated many times?"
Dunwei and the others also expressed emotion.
"In this way, is it true that the faster the flow of money and the larger the amount, the higher the turnover will be?"
"Meng Shangqing is right, it is indeed the truth."
"If you want money to flow quickly, merchants are essential."
Brother Zheng on the high platform nodded slightly.
There was a hint of excitement in his heart, and he understood after listening for a long time.
The more money merchants make, the more business taxes they need to pay.
No matter how you look at it, it's a sure-fire deal.
"But if it focuses on business, what if the common people go to do business and no one is farming the fields?"
Feng Quji hesitated a little, but still said what was on his mind.
Even if what Ying Yu said just now makes sense, he still thinks that re-business is not feasible.
"In the eyes of this prince, Feng Xiang is completely worrying about nothing."
"Do you think that everyone can be a merchant?"
"Taking a step back, even if what Feng Xiang said happened, it would be easy to solve."
"The common people ran to do business, and the fields were left uncultivated, and the price of food rose accordingly.
At that time, as long as the corresponding benefits are given to the farmers, farming is encouraged.
Coupled with the high price of food, people will naturally continue to choose farmland. "
"After all, farming is much simpler than doing business."
"What His Royal Highness said is reasonable, but I think it's not enough to promote business, and we should formulate corresponding laws to control it to prevent accidents."
"Meng Shangqing is right, it should be controlled by law."
Ying Yu did not refuse Meng Yi's proposal.
"Although emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce is our national policy of the Great Qin Dynasty, it seems that there are indeed many disadvantages, and it should be improved.
However, the matter of re-business should not be rushed, it needs to be done slowly. "m.biqmgè
Brother Zheng made a statement, and all the officials could only obey.
It seems that the reuse of merchants is inevitable.
"Father, the strategy of emphasizing commerce was proposed by Xiao He, why not choose a county around Xianyang as a pilot, how about trying to improve it?"
Ying Yu asked tentatively.
Brother Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he spoke directly after a little thought:
"The prince's idea is good, so let's use Hanzhong County as a pilot.
Since Xiao He proposed the strategy of emphasizing commerce, Xiao He will be fully responsible for this matter. "
As soon as the words fell, Brother Zheng directly slapped the sheriff of Hanzhong County in front of all the officials.
Then he personally appointed Xiao He as the sheriff of Hanzhong County, responsible for the commercial promotion of Hanzhong.
Although the official position of the prefect of Hanzhong County is not as good as that of the Xianyang Order, all the officials know that if this strategy of emphasizing business is feasible, then Xiao He will soar into the sky.
However, the officials were not optimistic about Xiao He.
Emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business has been implemented for a hundred years. How easy is it to overthrow the change?
To re-business, it is necessary to improve the status of businessmen.
This point alone will be opposed by countless people.
But the first emperor had already made a decision on this matter, and although the officials were not optimistic about it, they did not dare to speak out to obstruct it.
At this moment, Xiao He took a deep breath, his expression full of confidence.
The reason why Xiao He had the idea of focusing on business was because he was influenced by Ying Yu.
Xiao He never forgot the economics that Ying Yu mentioned when he ate mutton skewers at Yuxuan Pavilion last time.
Moreover, Ying Yu mentioned in front of Xiao He and others more than once what he wanted to change Daqin into.
The army is invincible in the world, the people have no worries about food and clothing, and everyone has extra money.
What other small two-story buildings, cement-paved roads, swift bicycles, iron boats, etc. made Xiao He yearn for it.
At the same time, it became the goal that Xiao He was fighting for!
