"Bastard, you should try every means right now, and you have to..." Just when Ying Zheng was about to instruct Fusu to sell the jade statue by all means, he suddenly heard Li Zhao's voice again.
"Later, some merchants purchased jade in large quantities at very low prices. With their operations, there was a shortage in the jade market, to the point where some dignitaries could not buy jade when they offered sacrifices. Gradually, they raised the price of jade significantly. , even far exceeding the historical price, there seems to be a saying that 'it rises tenfold in one day'."
What?
Increased tenfold in one day?
The angry and anxious Ying Zheng heard his heartbeat, his heart convulsed, his whole body was shaken, and his face was filled with shock.
Really? Increased tenfold in one day? Didn't you deceive me?
If true, doesn't that mean that if he doesn't sell the jade statue and waits until the price soars before selling it, wouldn't his internal money have to be doubled several times?
Make a fortune.
However, this kid is talking nonsense, I don’t know if it is true, forget it, a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor.
Therefore, Ying Zheng's words were abruptly changed by himself, "I must, I must also hoard it, and wait until a suitable price before selling it."
ah!
Fusu's thoughts changed a bit and he was stunned on the spot for a moment.
Li Zhao was also surprised: Why was Qin Shihuang so startled when he spoke? Could it be that he had the ability to predict the future?
Ying Zheng heard Li Zhao's thoughts and thought to himself, I just have the ability to predict the future, hehe!
Then he smiled strangely and made up his mind, "That's it. I'll wait until the price of jade increases tenfold before selling it."
ah!
This time it was Li Zhao's turn to be surprised. He felt as if Qin Shihuang had seen through him.
"No, Father, the three princes and nine ministers have already been selling jade like crazy. Shouldn't we also sell it? Our jade statues are not a small amount. If they fall to the bottom, we will have money inside, money inside... ..I can't keep it!" Fusu was anxious.
Ying Zheng was impatient, waved his hand and said, "If they want to sell it, it's their business. I won't do a loss-making business."
Fusu wanted to say that if he did not do business at a loss, he would not even be able to do business at all. His father had made such a decision, and he felt like he was going crazy. These beauties were in danger, and their money was in danger!
"Father!" Fusu insisted, but Ying Zheng stopped him, "Okay, don't say more, I have my own sense of discretion."
Fusu was blocked by one sentence.
"Yes, if there is anything else, tell me quickly." Ying Zheng wanted to hear his second story.
Fusu swallowed his saliva and reluctantly gave up his persistence. He felt that this time it was over. Not only would his internal money be over, but his image in the eyes of his father would also be over.
So, I stopped insisting.
If he really persisted, he might not have the chance to say the second thing. He still knew his father's character.
"Father, since we implemented the suppression of business in Great Qin, the scope of commercial activities has been greatly reduced, the industry has been sluggish, and merchants have suffered terribly. I believe that the policy of suppressing business should be abolished immediately to give the people a peaceful life."
"What did you say?"
Ying Zheng's face changed drastically, and he suddenly became cold. He threw up his sleeves and shouted: "It is a national policy to emphasize agriculture and suppress business. It is impossible, absolutely impossible to ban it."
"Don't mention this matter again."
"Father!"
Fusu knelt down and said sadly: "My sons and ministers have observed many times and found that Xianyang City is no longer prosperous, handicrafts have withered, and merchants have gone bankrupt and live on the streets. This is all caused by the suppression of business! I hope my father will think again."
"You..." Ying Zheng was so angry that he almost exploded.
Li Zhao was also worried about Fusu after hearing this, thinking: It seems that Fusu was bewitched by those unscrupulous businessmen, and he became a gunman without knowing it. Suppressing business is indeed not a long-term solution, but national policy cannot be changed simply by changing it!
Huh!
When Ying Zheng heard Li Zhao's thoughts, he was shocked and then furious. He agreed with Li Zhao's idea that Fusu must have been instigated by unscrupulous businessmen, otherwise he would not have said this given his character.
He complained that Fusu people were already middle-aged and still couldn't see some clues, but this kid could see the key to the problem.
His heart was very cold, and his Fusu had been misled.
Suddenly he glanced at Li Zhao with angry eyes, his heart moved, and he asked: "Li Zhao, tell me, what should I do about this matter?"
Li Zhao was stunned. He didn't expect that Qin Shihuang would ask him for his opinion. It seemed that he was just a seventeen-year-old child and was not old enough to have his own opinions.
"Your Majesty, I am still young for my humble position. I know nothing about national affairs and I dare not say anything."
Um!
Ying Zheng sighed and thought to himself, too! He is only a teenager. At this age, the children of other powerful people are still playing, and he should be no exception. How can he know about government affairs? It seems that the reason why he knew that Fusu was bewitched was because of his precognitive ability.
I shouldn't ask him!
Li Zhao paused and continued cautiously, "But my brother Zhan is outstanding, twice as talented as me. Your Majesty, can you ask him?"
"You... are talking nonsense!"
At the mention of Li Zhan, Ying Zheng felt numb and felt sick.
He lives a corrupt life and plagiarizes books and poems. Is he outstanding in talent? That's weird.
What's going on with this kid? He's using Li Zhan to disgust me?
Ying Zheng slandered.
The next moment, Li Zhao's inner thoughts came out again: Uncle told me not to say anything to His Majesty's questions, but to mention Brother Zhan more often and speak kindly to him. Uncle, I did it.
you?
Ying Zheng had a black line and secretly scolded Li Si for being a bastard, mentioning his son? Doesn’t he know what kind of bird his son is? Poor this child! He was bullied by Li Si so much that he didn't even dare to say anything.
For a moment, Ying Zheng felt sympathy.
"But, having said that, Fusu is too impatient and can't speak with his brains. How dare you bring up such a thing?"
oh!
Li Zhao's voice came out again, and Ying Zheng's heart moved when he heard it.
"First of all, the suppression of commerce is due to national conditions. Nowadays, the Qin Dynasty urgently needs to consolidate its power and combat the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. It must suppress commerce. Otherwise, the prosperity of commerce will greatly restrict the rule of the country, which is not a good thing for the country. This is not the main thing. The main thing is , if there are remnants of the Six Kingdoms among the merchants, and one move gives them power, disputes will inevitably arise."
Huh!
Ying Zheng was very surprised when he heard this. This explanation was very pertinent.
"Of course, it's not impossible to ban the suppression of business?"
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, these words spoke to his heart.
As the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, he was well aware of what happened in the country. Before the six kingdoms were unified, business was so prosperous and prosperous everywhere. However, as soon as the policy of suppressing business came out, as Fusu said, it really withered. For a It is indeed not a good thing for the country, but it is not easy to really ban the suppression of business.
For this reason, he has been suffering from headaches.
"But we must first develop agriculture. As the saying goes, agriculture is the foundation of all industries. If the people don't have enough to eat, there will be no business. It is not something that few people will control."
"When agriculture develops to a certain level, that is, when everyone can have enough to eat and there is surplus food, business can take off."
This is also what Li Zhao knew from studying history and economics in his previous life.
It can be seen that agriculture is important, but agriculture has developed to a certain extent, but it still lags behind other countries. This shows that developing agriculture is only the first step, and business is the key.
Makes sense? When Ying Zheng heard what was in his heart, he nodded as if in a panic, sometimes thinking deeply, sometimes smiling, and finally frowning.
What this guy said is very good, but the key to the problem is how to develop agriculture. These are the people, and the land is limited. The annual grain output is only so much. Apart from the necessary taxes and land rent, there is no more left for the people. If there are too many, it will be difficult for the family to eat enough.
In response to this problem, he thought about reducing taxes, but after tax reductions, it would be impossible to maintain the country's operations, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
It is difficult to develop agriculture so that the people have enough food!
At this time, Li Zhao's voice came back.
"Secondly, the powerful people would definitely not agree to ban the suppression of business all at once. After all, it threatens their status, and the powerful people maintain the rule of the country. Even if Qin Shihuang wants to ban it, he must think twice."
boom!
Hearing Li Zhao's analysis of his heart, Ying Zheng was shocked and could not calm down for a long time.
It hit his heart directly!
At such a young age, he was able to analyze things lucidly and to the point.
This guy is amazing,
Yes, it's not like he hasn't thought about banning business suppression, but he thinks about it a lot and faces many problems, so many times this idea can only float in his mind and he doesn't dare to bring it up.
At this moment, Li Zhao said in his heart that he actually felt happy.
Regardless of whether they are the powerful or the common people, they really cannot bear the impact of business nowadays. First of all, when it comes to agriculture, most of the land is in the hands of the powerful or landlords. There are tens of millions of people, but few have land, and they are the ones who cultivate the land. As a result, even if They worked hard to farm and received very little in return.
How can they survive if they really want business to flourish? Therefore, solving the problem of food and clothing is the key.
As for the powerful people, it goes without saying.
Before reunification, the powerful had paid a lot for the country. Now it was time to sit back and enjoy the gains. How could they allow businessmen to override them?
For a moment, Ying Zheng felt a little like a failure. Others raised sons, and he also raised sons. Other people's sons were outstanding, but what about his son? It’s really disappointing to be unable to distinguish the current situation at an old age and still be deceived by others.
Suddenly, Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Li Zhao, feeling particularly surprised.
Didn’t this guy say he didn’t understand? How come you know everything? And he analyzed it so thoroughly?
hehe! If you want to pretend, let him pretend.
