"When the young master talks about making money, is it because the imperial court intends to open a business?"
When Ba Qing said this, he glanced at Ying Zheng calmly and found that Ying Zheng's expression was calm, as if he had not heard anything.
Zhao Hao smiled, shook his head and said:
"I'm not very clear about the imperial court's policies. I was just talking to Aunt Qing about the future of Great Qin!"
"The future of Great Qin?"
Ba Qing was stunned, looking puzzled.
Zhao Hao picked up the tea cup and took a sip before he said leisurely:
"The future of Daqin is definitely inseparable from commerce, but when I say commerce, I don't just mean the sale and purchase of goods, but the creation of more demand!"
“For example, the textile factory I mentioned before, once it is established in Bashu, the female labor force from Bashu will gradually enter the factory or serve the factory.
The male labor force has to cultivate more fields. "
"but."
As he spoke, he changed the topic and continued: "Their production capacity is limited.
In other words, once the income of female labor force exceeds more than half of the total family income, family conflicts will breed;
The increase in individual family conflicts may lead to collective conflicts, causing the factories we built to go to waste. "
"this"
Ba Qing's eyes widened and he looked at Zhao Hao in disbelief.
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "According to what you said, when you create demand, do you intend to create equality between men and women?"
"It's not equality between men and women, it's division of labor and cooperation!"
Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head: "For example, my father is worried that no one will farm the land and there will be no food to eat. How to solve this problem?"
“First of all, our army adopts the farming system, which can meet the daily food needs of the army;
Secondly, private farming can use more efficient methods, such as piloting production teams in Bashu. "
"Production team?"
Ying Zheng and Ba Qing looked at each other, filled with confusion.
Zhao Hao explained with a smile:
"I just said that because family income inequality will breed family conflicts, then I will recruit female labor into the factory and form a production team with male labor so that they can concentrate on production. In this way, it will greatly improve Productivity!
At the same time, it can also reduce family conflicts.
After all, most family conflicts begin with comparison! "
“Women’s income in the factory is the same, but men’s uneven physical strength will lead to uneven production capacity.
In this way, a gap between rich and poor will form between families, and conflicts will naturally follow due to human nature. "
"The establishment of production teams means that the government provides cattle and farm tools to work and produce together regardless of each other."
As Zhao Hao spoke eloquently, Ying Zheng and Ba Qing listened more and more intently.
The concept of production team gradually became clear in their minds.
A brand new production method gives them the feeling of clearing away the clouds and seeing the sunshine.
In fact, the concept of a production team is easy to understand. It means dividing people into groups according to their number of people, and each group is assigned cattle and farm tools.
These production tools are shared by the group, and they cooperate with each other during sowing and produce together.
In this way, whether it is clearing up wasteland or farming, the efficiency is much higher than that of an individual.
For Ying Zheng and the others, this is a completely unfamiliar concept.
But very novel.
After Zhao Hao finished speaking, Ying Zhengcai said thoughtfully: "This method is good, but why is it only piloted in Bashu?"
Zhao Hao cupped his hands and said: "Back to my father, as far as the current situation is concerned, Bashu is the most suitable for production, because Bashu itself is an important granary of our Great Qin."
"As for the Six Kingdoms, the most important thing now is to stabilize the people's sentiments. After the people's sentiments are stabilized, it is not too late to focus on production!"
"Well, you are right."
Ying Zheng nodded with approval, and then looked at Ba Qing.
Ba Qing pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and asked Zhao Hao: "Then what did the young master say about letting us make money?"
"Aunt Qing, don't worry!"
Zhao Hao raised his hand with a smile and said, "I just said that uneven family income will cause family conflicts. So, if you think about it the other way around, what will happen to the difference between having family income and not having family income?"
"For example, in the past, my whole family farmed, and apart from paying taxes, they had to make ends meet. Sometimes it was even difficult to make ends meet."
"In this case, businessmen don't expect them to consume at all. After all, it's not easy for them to live anymore."
“But now that they have income and have no problem making ends meet, do they need to consume?
And once they consume, it’s a business opportunity! "
"As long as businessmen seize business opportunities, think about it, Aunt Qing, is it difficult to make money?"
"this"
Ba Qing's eyes kept flickering, and finally he showed a smile of realization and saluted Zhao Hao: "Young Master is a great talent, I admire you!"
"Haha, Aunt Qing is so polite."
Zhao Hao smiled and waved his hand, and then said solemnly: "The imperial court will maintain the status quo in a short period of time and will not mention the opening of business. However, the early investment of the imperial court cannot be separated from your support, because the imperial treasury is not so Rich!"
"As the saying goes, only by giving up can you gain. I hope you can understand, Aunt Qing."
"Don't worry, young master, this woman understands."
Ba Qing nodded slightly.
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then rolled his sleeves and said, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I will leave the business affairs to you."
After saying that, he turned to Zhao Hao and said: "I think the production team you mentioned is feasible. Let's go to Zhi Su Neishi to explain it to him and ask him to write a memorial and give it to the Prime Minister's Office. I will make a decision after discussing it with the ministers. !”
"now?"
Zhao Hao was stunned and looked at Ying Zheng in confusion.
Ying Zheng turned sideways, with his back to Ba Qing, winking and speaking righteously;
"National affairs cannot be delayed for a moment. You have a good way, and you are the only one who is most familiar with it. Naturally it is you. My father believes that you will not let my father or the country down!"
"But me" Zhao Hao was reluctant.
Ying Zheng patted his little head and slapped back his next words.
Zhao Hao flattened his mouth in grievance, saying to himself that I also want to watch the excitement.
You bully your son.
Watching Zhao Hao leave the hall dejectedly, a treacherous smile quickly appeared on Ying Zheng's face, and it disappeared in an instant. Then he turned around and looked at Ba Qing.
At this time, there were only two of them left in the hall, looking at each other in silence.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.
"What else does your Majesty have to do?"
In the end, Ba Qing couldn't bear the atmosphere of being alone with Ying Zheng, and took the initiative to ask Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng smiled when he heard this and asked meaningfully: "If nothing happens, can't I stay here?"
Ba Qing: "."
Ying Zheng: "I remember that you like to play the piano. I wonder if you can play a song for me?"
The First Emperor was very famous in history for his fondness for music.
In order to listen to music, he even dared to summon Gao Jianli, the friend of Jing Ke who assassinated him, to perform in the palace.
Nowadays, it is common sense to say that you want to listen to the piano.
Ba Qing also knew something about the First Emperor, so he did not refuse.
I heard her smile and say: "Since Your Majesty is here for the sound of the piano, let me move with you to the bamboo pavilion where there is a piano stand."
"good."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then slowly stood up and followed Ba Qing to a quiet bamboo pavilion.
There was a guqin placed in the bamboo pavilion here. Ying Zheng saw the extraordinary quality of this guqin with just one glance, so he curiously asked: "What kind of qin is this?"
"Your Majesty, this is the 'Hao Zhong' guqin, which was won by Young Master Hao!" Ba Qing said with a smile.
"Ah!"
Ying Zheng laughed and said with a smile: "That boy is really good at it!"
He naturally knew about Liuheju, but he didn't know that the 'Xiaozhong' guqin was in Ba Qing's hands.
However, even if the bell guqin was in Ba Qing's hands, he had no other thoughts. He just sat next to Ba Qing and looked at her quietly.
Ba Qing, on the other hand, was startled by Ying Zheng's actions. He wanted to get up, but felt a little rash. For a moment, he froze there, not daring to move.
At this time, Ying Zheng suddenly spoke again:
"I used to sit next to my mother when she played the piano, but now I can no longer hear her."
When Ying Zheng said this, he had a sad expression on his face.
Ba Qing's heart moved slightly. Wasn't the mother of the First Emperor Zhao Ji?
He has a reputation for killing his brother and moving his mother, so the outside world spreads rumors that he is ruthless.
But looking at his current appearance, it seems that he still misses his mother.
Although Ba Qing was very confused, he couldn't speak out. After all, this was a family matter for the emperor.
But Ying Zheng sitting next to her still made her a little uncomfortable.
Especially Ying Zheng's scorching eyes and the audible manly scent made her uneasy, wondering how she could calmly play the piano.
"It seems that you really can't play it when I'm here."
Ying Zheng smiled at Ba Qing, then stood up and walked to sit about a foot away from her.
Ba Qing adjusted the piano, took a deep breath, calmed down, and started playing.
Soon, she was immersed in the music.
In a daze, I thought of my relatives far away in Bashu.
Although Ying Zheng attaches great importance to Ba Qing, as the first emperor, he must be fair and just, such as the order to move all merchants, wealthy people, including nobles from the six countries to Xianyang, even Ba Qing must abide by it.
Ba Qing, who came to Xianyang, could only relax his homesickness in the music of the piano.
The lingering sound lingers, and the sound of the piano slowly stops.
Ying Zheng was fascinated by what he heard, and was immersed in this deep nostalgia, as if he had returned to the time when mother and son depended on each other in Handan.
His longing for his father was also expressed through his mother's piano.
Every time he sits next to his mother and listens to the piano, he is happiest.
Unknowingly, Ying Zheng was also immersed in memories.
Ba Qing saw that Ying Zheng's eyes were slightly closed and he was sitting there in a daze, and he couldn't help but carefully look at this arrogant First Emperor.
The emperor's majesty became less and less arrogant as he grew older. But at this time, the tears in the corners of his eyes made Ba Qing feel the softer side of the First Emperor's heart.
Perhaps the sound of the piano is a bridge between them, gradually connecting them together.
Ba Qing couldn't help but feel a sense of pity at this moment, for herself and for Ying Zheng in front of her. She pulled the strings and interrupted the memories of each other.
Ying Zheng woke up with a start and stared at Ba Qing with a pair of big eyes. There was a bit of confusion, a bit of admiration, a bit of shyness and a bit of reserve in his eyes.
Ba Qing didn't say anything, just handed out a white silk scarf.
Ying Zheng was moved by her understanding, took it gently, wiped the tears on his face, and then handed the scarf to Ba Qing.
Ba Qing wanted to take the silk scarf, but was grabbed by a pair of big hands.
In desperation, she tried to break free, but Ying Zheng suddenly pulled her to his side.
"His Majesty."
Ba Qing screamed in surprise and embarrassment, and pulled his hand away from Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng looked at her shy face affectionately and couldn't restrain the love and pity in his heart. However, he made no next move and just sighed softly: "When I met you back then, you were only twelve or thirteen years old. When we met again, you As a married woman, how could I have thought that your beloved’s life was short and his suffering was in vain?
But you are good at business, have built this family business, and helped me through several difficulties, but I don't seem to be able to help you. "
"Your Majesty's tolerance towards Bashu is the greatest help to women," Ba Qing said with a smile.
Ying Zheng shook his head slightly: "Bashu contributed to the unification of the six countries by Qin. I will not be too harsh on you. I am just treating you."
"I understand what Your Majesty wants to say, but now is not the time!"
Ba Qing stretched out a finger, pressed it against Ying Zheng's lips, interrupted his words, and continued: "Today, Cheng Xiu came to see my wife, hoping that she would help him contact the powerful men of Bashu. She rejected him, but she felt that he I won’t give up.”
"snort!"
Ying Zheng gently brushed Ba Qing's hand away and snorted coldly: "So what if you don't give up? I spared him once, and I won't spare him a second time!"
As he said this, he seemed to think of something again and asked Ba Qing, "Where are the others?"
"Leave before you get here."
"Left? How did he escape the spy I arranged?"
"Might your Majesty have forgotten that this Zhuxiang Courtyard was originally given to him by King Zhuang Xiang?"
Ba Qing smiled hoarsely: "Later, before he went on the expedition, he gave the small courtyard to his wife and said he would come back to you to ask for a bigger one."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng remained silent.
Before he came to the throne, he had a very good relationship with Cheng Xi, and the two brothers often played together. Later, when he inherited the throne, he battled wits and courage with Lu Buwei every day, and had to deal with a lot of political affairs, so he ignored his half-brother.
Later, Cheng Yu came into contact with the princes of King Zhaoxiang, and his whole person seemed to have changed. He was no longer as close to him as before, and he even took the initiative to ask for a fight. In the end, he was taken advantage of by Lu Buwei and almost died in a foreign country.
Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't speak, Ba Qing sighed slightly and said, "I think the reason why Cheng Xi is restless is because His Majesty never explained to him from the beginning to the end. If there ever comes a day, you can sit face to face. Come down and have a good chat, maybe we can resolve some misunderstandings.”
"Ah."
Ying Zheng chuckled noncommittally, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not mention him and continue playing your piano."
"I like to hear you play the piano..."
"What do you like! Your Majesty is still the same as before, just like when he stole my wife's piano and talked crazy, just like..."
When Ba Qing said this, he suddenly realized that he couldn't find the right words to describe it, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.
Ying Zheng was attracted by her cuteness and couldn't help but ask: "What does it look like? Tell me quickly!"
"Like a rogue with ill intentions!" Ba Qing blurted out.
Somehow, Ying Zheng had never been as relaxed as he is now, and said pretending to be angry: "Okay! How dare you call me a scoundrel? Let's see how I punish you!"
As he said that, he pulled Ba Qing into his arms, and his hands and feet began to become dishonest.
Ba Qing was at a loss and struggled, which aroused the First Emperor's desire to conquer.
Compared with Hu Ji's blind obedience, this made him feel more interesting.
But before he could make his next move, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and Ba Qing quickly pushed Ying Zheng away.
Ying Zheng immediately sat upright and looked out, only to see Zhao Gao walking slowly with his head lowered.
"Didn't I ask you to wait outside the door? Why did you rush in so rashly?"
Although Ying Zheng's tone was calm, it sounded extremely cold to Zhao Gao's ears.
Zhao Gao was seen shaking like chaff, he quickly pressed his body down a little, and said tremblingly;
"Your Majesty, please calm down. There is really something urgent going on in the court, and I have to come in and report it!"
"What's the matter?"
Ying Zheng was furious because he was defeated by Zhao Gao, but after calming down, he felt that Zhao Gao should not be blamed, so he asked calmly.
Seeing that Ying Zheng's tone had softened, Zhao Gao couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "Your Majesty, the doctor ordered Meng Yi to send someone to send a message saying that there is something unusual in South Vietnam. The old general Wang Jian requested to return to South Vietnam as soon as possible!"
