Chapter 726 Capitalists
Fusu took Li Si's somewhat thick memorial and began to read it.
The general on the side said: "Li Si, like you, I have also established a chamber of commerce. Our two chambers of commerce will cooperate more in the future."
Li Si was startled, then suddenly realized, "I didn't expect His Majesty to be so fast."
Hearing this, Jiang Lu said in surprise: "Are you not surprised at all? Have you guessed that everything was my father's intention?"
Li Si nodded and said, "Master Jianglu, do you still remember the recent visit to the village between Your Majesty and I?"
"Of course I remember. I wanted to tell my brother-in-law the happy news that Yin Man and the others gave birth to three children for Qin An." Jiang Lu said.
This incident was well known and Ying Zheng celebrated it for several days.
Li Si said: "After going to the village that time, His Majesty and I both took a book. His Majesty took "History of the Song Dynasty" and I took "Das Kapital".
As the name suggests, Song History refers to some historical stories of a later dynasty called Song. And the "Das Kapital" I took is very powerful. It explains the matter of capital clearly.
If we could sum it up in one sentence, it would be that capital can rejuvenate a country, but it can also destroy it.
Capital is also called capitalist. They only have profit in their eyes. They can buy and sell anything.
Qin An once said that he would buy a country for His Majesty. At that time, I thought Qin An was fooling His Majesty, but now I discovered that everything was true.
As long as you have money, you can buy a country. The so-called buying actually makes you the most powerful person in the country.
This is different from our current situation. According to Qin An, we have now reached a feudal society.
According to time calculation, our feudal society is the latest system today, the Mauryan Dynasty, which is still a slave system.
Only by advancing from slave society to feudal society can the country further develop, and the further step from feudal society to capitalist society, and the further step up to socialist society.
The future China is now a socialist society, but it is still in its initial stage.
It will take a long, long time for a capitalist society to develop into a socialist society. No one dares to say the specific time. "
Jiang Lu said in shock: "Where is that book?"
"On the ship." Li Si said, "This book is too dangerous. No one else is allowed to read it except Your Majesty and me."
"Not even me?" Jiang Lu asked.
Li Si shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty did not tell Mr. Jianglu about this. He has already stated that Your Majesty does not want you to know at the moment."
Fusu said: "In this case, third brother, don't force Li Si. Just ask your father for it when you go back."
Hearing this, Jiang Lu had no choice but to give up. He nodded to Fusu and said, "I can only go back and ask my father for it."
Li Si said: "Master Jiang Lu, don't be disappointed. Your Majesty is turning him into a capitalist."
"Why is this?" Fusu asked, "Letting members of the royal family become capitalists is not competing with the people for profit. Isn't my father afraid that the people will insult him?"
"A capitalist is actually a businessman, but his business is so big that he can control the country.
The emperor once said that capitalists once controlled the price of food to force China to submit. If this capitalist is a noble, then this noble has an extraordinary status in this country.
And a capitalist can never be one person, but a group of people.
The wealth of this group of people can affect the entire country, but this group of capitalists must have a leader.
Your Majesty means that the royal family should be the leader, and Young Master Jianglu is the person chosen by Your Majesty. "
Jianglu and Fusu suddenly understood.
Fusu asked: "I see, third brother, you must not let down your father's cultivation."
"Brother, please don't worry. I will definitely become an outstanding capitalist." Jiang Lu said, "But..."
Jiang Lu looked towards
Li Si said, "Since my father asked me to become a capitalist, why not stop you from developing?"
Li Si smiled bitterly and said, "Master Jianglu, do you think His Majesty didn't help you?"
Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment, and then said sheepishly: "Father has helped me a lot, but Mr. Li has suffered a loss because the leaders of the tribes in the Baiyue Land should not become members of your Chamber of Commerce."
Li Si said helplessly: "We are all ministers of the Qin Dynasty, so we should share your Majesty's worries, and I also understand what Mr. Jiang Lu means.
As I said just now, a capitalist is not one person but a group of people. If it is one person, it can only be regarded as a rich person.
No matter how much money you have, it is impossible to control the country, and it is easy for the court to take advantage of you. "
Jiang Lu was silent. It was true that no matter how much money he had, it would be of no use.
Li Si continued: "There is another point. Your Majesty wants to see the development of Great Qin, so the existing system will definitely be changed. Not only that, it will also endanger the interests of the nobles.
Now His Majesty is compensating the nobles, but whether you can master it depends on your personal ability.
So far, only those of us who have met Qin An can master it and lead other nobles at the same time.
Of course, if those nobles refuse to listen to us, then they will suffer a loss and we will have nothing to do with them. "
Fusu said: "It's true that everyone relies on their own abilities. Opportunities are right in front of them. If they can't grasp them and blame others, such people are not worthy of pity."
"I understand, then Li Si, I want to know what you will do next?" Jiang Lu looked at Li Si.
Li Si smiled slightly and said without any concealment: "I will be in the land of Baiyue, responsible for the affairs of allotment and the affairs of the chamber of commerce.
Then I will form a fleet to go to the Maurya Dynasty to do business. Of course, I will also arrange people to work in the Maurya Dynasty. If there is a chance, I will let them establish their own power in the Maurya Dynasty, so that the imperial army can only directly attack the Maurya Dynasty in the future. "
"It's similar to my plan." Jiang Lu said, "However, I have one more plan than you, and that is to build Hong Kong."
"What?" Li Si stood up in shock, "Master Jianglu, you want to build Hong Kong? What did you say about the World Trade Center?"
"Yes, but I need people, not only for the construction of Hong Kong, but also for Japan. Therefore, if possible, send more people from the Maurya Dynasty here or to Japan." Jiang Lu said.
Li Si's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, why didn't I think of that? Moreover, the people there are very obedient and obedient. As long as they can have enough to eat, they are willing to do no matter how hard or tiring the job is.
In this way, we can greatly reduce the pressure of the population shortage in our Daqin.
It's just that they can't bring the Buddhism of Xinyang. Even if they will definitely bring it, it must become Buddhism suitable for our Qin Dynasty and not the Buddhism of the Mauryan Dynasty. "
