The Great Qin: Stop Pretending, Your Father, I Am Qin Shihuang

v1 Chapter 176: Cut the leeks of the merchants

Zhang Hanlin shook his head slightly, and stopped being obsessed with this matter.

After all, this matter was too far away, and he didn't know if he could see it in his whole life.

Soon after the two chatted for a while, the two sides bid farewell, and Zhang Hanlin also began to prepare for a scolding battle.

A few days later, in several cities on the border of Rome, a relatively ordinary newspaper founded by Chinese people,

Then he began to attack Zhang Hanlin, saying that he had betrayed Huaxia!

And Zhang Hanlin quickly scolded each other, the two sides came and went for a while,

It was also the first time that the Romans encountered this situation, and they found it very interesting.

And Zhang Hanlin's supporters even went to attack the place where the newspaper was located,

It caused a sensation, and even the Senate in the capital of Rome noticed this matter.

Zhang Hanlin also received an invitation from the Senate for the first time.

The other party needs to be close to the Chinese in Rome.

At the same time, this news, after being screened by the Daqin caravan, slowly gathered at a spider web contact point,

Then the news was sent all the way to Daqin by the messenger!

From Rome to Daqin, the two sides were only separated by the vast territory of the Huns at this time.

Of course, even if the horse speeds up, it will take more than ten days to reach the westernmost part of Daqin, the new territory outside the Western Regions.

But from here on, the entire channel of information becomes extremely smooth,

The new territory quickly sent the news back to the Western Regions, and the messengers of the Western Regions also sent the news to the post station channel on the grassland very quickly.

The messengers at the post station on the grassland changed people and horses along the way, maintaining the highest speed, galloping towards the direction of the Great Wall!

After arriving at the Great Wall, the speed became a little faster, because the roads here, after being sorted out and reinforced over the years,

It is already very suitable for horses to run,

It's just that the government has always built some strange sites and roads in secret these years.

There were some obstacles, but after a month, the news was finally sent to Xianyang.

At this time, in Xianyang, above the court hall, Zhao Lang looked down with a rare expression of excitement.

Because today is the day when his children report on their achievements in management outside the home these years,

Although Zhao Hao and Zhao An'an are his favorites, others still have a chance,

As long as the princes and queens who are willing to participate in the succession of the throne are treated equally, they will start in villages and towns with similar conditions, and then use five years as a period to see who has the best results, and it will naturally be easier to get his appreciation.

And above the court, all the ministers also looked at them, and they also had to choose the object of their allegiance in the future.

At this time Zhao Hao is making the final summary,

"Father, my son has connected the village in his hands with the nearest county seat in the past five years. The roads are smooth, and some handicrafts have been transferred from the city. Now everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. The taxes paid are the same as those of ordinary villages. More than 10 times that!"

Zhao Hao finished speaking with some pride.

In 5 years, he used his own ability to achieve this step, even in the evaluation of officials, he can still get a first-class score!

Of course something to be proud of.

The other ministers also nodded involuntarily. They could indeed achieve this step, which shows that they are down-to-earth and can adapt to local conditions.

After all, it is an extremely good performance, even exaggerated to say,

As long as the other party maintains such a character and is a conservative king, there is no problem at all.

Zhao Lang also showed a smile, of course it was not because of the other party's performance, Zhao Hao grew up beside him, so he was not surprised to do this.

He is happy that if things go on like this, in another 5 or 10 years, he will be able to retire and travel around the world.

When the emperor's day, who will be who knows,

Even with Chen Ping and Xiao He standing in front of him, Daqin is developing extremely fast now.

Countless things that have never happened before require him to control,

So every day when I wake up, I have to read the paperwork, and I can't rest until dark.

Of course there are breaks in the middle, and there are also singing and dancing, etc.

But it’s the same program every day, and I’m tired of it after so long.

Now every day is the same as going to work, and there are no special holidays, and no one pays him wages.

It's like a prison with no deadline, it's too painful.

Soon, after Zhao Hao finished speaking, the other princes and princesses also began to report one by one, and of course no one surpassed the other.

Just when all the courtiers thought that the matter of the crown prince could be settled,

The last one, seventeen or eighteen years old, a handsome prince came out and said,

"Father, the village in the hands of my son has now become a county seat!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look over, only then did they realize that the prince,

It was born of their majesty and merchant leader Shang Yan'er, named Zhao Shang,

He is a bit clever, but no one thought that the other party could turn a village into a county in just 5 years!

Such a result can be said to be the best in the world!

Sure enough, even Zhao Lang at the top couldn't help being a little surprised, he glanced at the slave next to him,

Without any hesitation, the slave sent a document over,

At this moment, Zhao Shang continued,

"Everyone, I have already counted the achievements of these years in the form of a table, so I will send it up."

Soon some attendants brought up documents and put them in front of the ministers.

Soon bursts of exclamations sounded in the court hall,

"There are already three factories in this city!"

"It doesn't matter, the tax contribution from hundreds of shops is no less than that of a medium-sized county!"

"It's only been five years!"

The courtiers were discussing a lot, Zhao Lang had read the document sent by the slave at this time, his expression changed slightly, and then he said with a smile,

"You did a good job, sit by my side."

Hearing this, Zhao Shang's eyes lit up slightly, and then he sat beside Zhao Lang excitedly,

After sitting down, he continued excitedly,

"Father, there are still many measures that have not been implemented. Once implemented on a large scale, it will definitely make Daqin go further!"

Hearing this, Zhao Lang was noncommittal, but asked,

"You've been smart since you were young, but you don't seem to be good at governing the country. Where did these methods come from? Don't fool me."

Zhao Shang returned very honestly at this time,

"I told my father that I was taught by the merchants."

"You have always taught us to be good at listening to opinions and leave things that we are not good at to those professionals."

"So I invited many merchants to the village this time, and it developed quickly after that!"

"Father, you have also seen that relying on merchants, this small village has been turned into a county seat in just five years."

"If, in the future, Daqin gives these merchants more convenience, Daqin will truly become unrivaled!"

When it came to the end, Zhao Shang was extremely excited. This was the first time he experienced the feeling of controlling the fate of others!

In 5 years, he really changed the fate of the people in that village!

Now the people there are loyal to him!

How could this not excite him?

But he didn't notice at this time that all the courtiers in the court had weird expressions on their faces,

It's just that no one said anything.

At this time, Zhao Lang's eyes flashed a chill, but he quickly said,

"Everyone has finished talking today, so let's step back first."

"Chen Ping, Li You, you stay here."

Soon, the courtiers saluted and retired, and even Zhao Hao could only leave together.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Shang showed an excited expression,

Needless to say, Chen Ping left two people left behind by his father. The current Prime Minister Zuo and Li You are the sons of Li Si, both of whom are important officials of the court!

Could it be that the father has taken a fancy to him now, and he has something special to explain to him!

Soon, there were only a few of them left in the hall, just as Zhao Shang wanted to say something,

Zhao Lang said lightly,

"Your father and I have a lot of children, and they are partial to Zhao Hao."

"It's father's fault for ignoring you."

"Let's see my father do things now, don't talk."

Then he turned his face directly and said to the slave beside him,

"Go and get the expenditure and output of merchants from Shang'er over the years."

Hearing the order, the slave took almost no time and brought up a bunch of documents.

Zhao Lang didn't look at it, but asked directly,

"What are the inputs and outputs? Will the cost be recovered in the next few years?"

Slave will be back soon,

"In recent years, these merchants have invested a total of about 50,000 taels of gold, and the output is less than 5,000 taels."

"It will take at least 10 years to fully recover the cost!"

"And it doesn't count the losses incurred during the 10-year period, that is to say, it is simply unsustainable.".

"The person who takes the lead is the little leader in the south of the merchant."

"Officials in several surrounding counties are also involved."

The slave slowly explained the relationship one by one clearly, it is not complicated,

It's just that the little leader of this business took the lead, and together with the surrounding officials, jointly built this small village into a county town at a loss!

Hearing this, Zhao Shang's face turned slightly pale,

His mother is the leader of the business today, so she naturally knows the operating conditions of the business.

Businessmen never do business at a loss. The current loss is for greater profits in the future.

And this village is obviously unable to provide such a profit, so he is the profit that these businessmen are looking for.

It's just that he was fascinated by the illusion in front of him at the beginning, and he only wanted to stand out in front of his father, so he didn't notice, or didn't want to notice these things at all.

It's just that now his father has completely put these things in front of him,

Zhao Lang nodded, then asked Chen Ping,

"What methods did those officials use?"

Chen Ping glanced at Zhao Shang, whose face was slightly pale, and quickly returned,

"Those factories were also brought in by the government to let them lead them there."

Who would put the factory in a village with nothing for no reason?

Zhao Lang didn't ask any more questions, and turned to Li You, asking,

"According to the Great Qin Law, how should these people be dealt with?"

Li You said without hesitation,

"These businessmen dare to participate in royal affairs, and they should be executed, but they will not affect their families."

"All the officials will be withdrawn to the end, they will never be used again, and they will be convicted according to the harm caused to the local people, and the maximum can be beheaded!"

Daqin's sentencing standards have also changed.

Even if the amount of corruption of some officials is small, if serious consequences are caused, they will be beheaded!

After all, for some poor people, dozens of catties of grain can kill a whole family!

But these things are not enough for those officials.

That's why there is such a standard.

Zhao Lang directly ordered,

"Then let's do it."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Lang waved his hand, and Chen Ping and the others also bowed to leave.

Soon, there was a messenger who quickly left here with orders.

Looking at the back of the messenger leaving, Zhao Shang couldn't help trembling slightly,

Because he knew that this time, at least nearly a hundred people's heads would fall to the ground!

And all of this is because of him.

At this moment, he heard the voice of his father,

"Did your mother get involved in this matter?"

Zhao Shang trembled when he heard it, and said quickly,

"Father, although mother has been teaching the child, she has never participated in it!"

"Father, please spare mother!"

"Hail promises not to participate in the competition again!"

He is also a member of the royal family, of course he knows the fierce competition in the royal family!

He also knew from his mother that his father was such a ruthless emperor!

Looking at Zhao Shang who was so scared, Zhao Lang couldn't help but sigh slightly,

If there is no trick from Shang Yan'er behind this, he doesn't believe it.

But the other party didn't leave anything behind, and anyway, Zhao Shang was also his child.

So he said softly,

"It's fine if you don't have one."

Only then did Zhao Shang heave a sigh of relief, then squeezed out a smile, and said in a very disappointed way,

"Father, the child will leave first."

In his opinion, he may not even see his father's face in the future.

The most ruthless emperor!

But at this moment, he heard his father's voice again,

"Where are you going, today you have ups and downs, just when you need to calm down, stay by my side tonight."

"Go, go for a walk with me."

After speaking, he got up and walked towards the palace, Zhao Shang was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly followed.

Walking on the road in the palace, Zhao Lang said while walking,

"Your mother is the head of the business, and it is very natural for you to be close to the people of the business."

"But you must know that businessmen put their interests first, and they will follow whoever can bring them benefits."

"But they don't have a country in their hearts, let alone the people."

"You can use them, but be wary of them at all times!"

Zhao Lang slowly talked to his child, Zhao Shang also slowly recovered from the initial fear,

After the other party regained his mind, Zhao Lang said,

"You're still eligible to compete, just be careful in the future."

Hearing this ~lightnovelpub.net~ Zhao Shang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he still had a chance,

"Father, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Lang smiled and said,

"Who can avoid making mistakes? It's just that you have to remember the price of making mistakes."

As he spoke, he patted Zhao Shang's head, and the other party suddenly showed a silly smile.

Early the next morning, Zhao Shang left

The palace, he is going to prove himself again!

Looking at the back of Zhao Shang leaving, Zhao Lang said coldly,

"Let the imperial concubine Shang Yaner come to see me!"

After so many years, I still cut the leeks of the merchants.
