“It’s about the foundation of the country’s destiny!”
"Is the prince worried about Ji Ran's approach?"
Jiran!
Ji Ran is a person.
This is also true.
Brother Wang told him many times back then.
Ji Ran was a man who lived during the years when he was the overlord of the Fenghuo princes. He came to the Song Dynasty, read a lot of books, was as wise as a fool, understood the principles of the universe, and learned from the laws of heaven and earth.
Among all the principles he was proficient in, he was especially good at calculation. He traveled to the Xia Dynasty and accepted Fan Li as his disciple. According to rumors, he gave Fan Li seven strategies, and then Fan Li used five of them to assist the King of Yue in his domination.
Later, Ji Ran entered the Tianzong, named Wenzi, and practiced the way of heaven.
Fan Li, on the other hand, spread the principles taught by Wenzi as a way of planning, gathering and dispersing thousands of money, and using it as he wished, with ease.
This is the way of planning, the way of wealth!
There is nothing wrong with the way of cultivating goods.
It is called the way of planning, and it is not inevitable.
Brother Wang once said that the way of planning can be developed simultaneously with the civil and military ways, and it can be regarded as the foundation of national destiny.
The reason why Qin is rich and strong is because the wealth gathered through Ji Ran's method has increased.
Otherwise, the state of Qin will still be the state of Qin before Xiaogong's reform.
No matter how brave the old Qin people are, it is useless without enough money to support them. For more than a hundred years, the Qin State's treasury has been full, which is also a manifestation of the way of planning.
The current plan of the Qin State is to follow the method of the Shang monarch, to gather the benefits of mountain and river navigation, and to gather the benefits of the common people's land cultivation.
Benefits from heavy taxes on merchants!
….
With the implementation of various strategies, the Qin State's treasury was full in just a few decades. Coupled with the siege of foreign cities and the destruction of the country, and the looting of a large amount of property, the foundation of the country's destiny became more and more solid.
With such foundation support, Qin could fight wars involving hundreds of thousands of troops.
The King of Qin thought about it and thought it made some sense.
Later, Wang Di's words and the way of planning kept pace with the times. If Da Qin wanted to dominate the world, it had to reshape the complete system of planning and turn it into a complete way of planning.
Qin’s half a pound!
Salt!
iron!
Tea!
liquor!
…
All included.
The three policies of opening up the source that Du Ling left behind are vaguely involved. Therefore, the political language of the King of Qin fell.
"Half Liang Coin of the Qin State has been passed down throughout the Qin State since King Huiwen, and it has been more than a hundred years."
"For the casting of half a liang of money, a supervisory office was established in Xianyang, and then in fertile counties and counties, a supervisory office was established for bronze casting and iron casting."
"In the troubled times of the Warring States Period, the coins of various countries were different, so the coins of various countries can be exchanged privately. Otherwise, business travelers would not be able to pass through Zhuxia."
"In the past few years, the Qin State has conquered the land of the three Jin Dynasties and passed through Qin Banliang. This is a very good policy, just like writing, so that there is only one kind of coin in the Xia. It is more convenient for all the people of the Xia to abandon the coins of other countries.
"
"Although this method is good, there is one more method that can only be perfected, and that is the minting offices in some rich counties and regions, where the governance is incomplete."
"Today, Hedong County can mint half a tael of coins, and tomorrow, Nanyang County can also mint half a tael of coins. Sure enough, merchants are motivated by profit and also mint half a tael of coins."
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"If the remnants of the various countries are in trouble, they must have a large amount of wealth to support them. Those who do not have the wealth to buy food, grass, baggage, weapons and other things should not be afraid."
"The power of coinage has been scattered, and hidden dangers have arisen. Without Xianyang in Guanzhong, no one can guarantee where the money from the coinage supervisory office will go."
A word from Zhou Qing.
Over the years, Brother Wang has made excellent plans for both civil and military affairs.
Only on the path of Ji Ran, if you simply unify the coins, then... there will be no future.
There is no deep meaning in the use and circulation of coins and the wealth and currency of various countries. The remnant people of the various countries themselves possess a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and wealth.
Those people who happened to have troubles and troubles, the counties and places seemed not to know about it, maybe they knew about it, but they didn't take it seriously, so that... those people could accumulate considerable strength.
"The prince continues to speak."
"Meng Yi records, I have finished handling the government affairs and take a good look at them."
Qin Wangzheng stood up from the case, put his hands behind his back, his mind was racing, his brows were furrowed, he looked at Brother Wang, and then at the document in Brother Wang's hand.
Wang Di's words were once again novel to me.
There is such truth in a partial and deep way.
I remember what Wang Di once said, it is difficult for a clever woman to survive without food. The remnant people of various countries are not afraid of themselves. Their families and countries are all destroyed by themselves.
What are those bereaved dogs afraid of?
However... Qin Wangzheng admired this plan.
"Here!"
There is no need for the king to say anything. Chang Shi Mengyi, who was dealing with civil affairs on one side, had already raised his ears and listened carefully to the words of Wuzhen Commandery and Marquis.
My thoughts are running around in the same way, and I am filled with emotions.
The words of Wuzhen Junhou always make people think.
This is how small words and great righteousness should be.
"With the power of minting half a tael of money, Xuan Qing thought that when the great dynasty meets, it will be made public to all Xia. Only the Mint Office of the State Government can supervise the minting, issuance, and circulation to all Xia."
"At the same time, half a tael of money can also be subdivided. In fact, for decades, privately minted small coins have also appeared."
"One tael is worth twenty-four baht, and half a tael is worth twelve baht. Next, we will gather the power to mint coins, and we can mint slightly smaller five-baht coins, or six-baht coins."
"For convenience, you can also cast one or two coins."
"If necessary, gold coins can also be minted. Although gold coins are high-quality coins, they can be used at many times. One coin can be thirty taels, fifty taels, or other things."
Zhou Qing nodded in response and continued.
In fact, now is a great opportunity to implement this strategy. The Qin army is at its peak and the Xia are in chaos and have no one to rely on. If any strategy fails, even if there is opposition, it will be useless.
When all Xia is settled, all strategies will be ready.
Quite convenient.
"I left Xianyang Palace a few months ago and walked in Nancheng. There was a piece of cloth that was eight feet long and two feet and five inches wide. It was worth eleven and a half taels."
"In the south city, one and a half taels can buy a horse's reins, more than a foot of linen, and gold. One tael of gold can buy a hundred and a half taels."
The government of the Qin Dynasty descended from the top to the bottom.
Thinking of Brother Wang's calculated remarks, I unconsciously talked about the price level in Nancheng and made a comparison. It seemed that I paid little attention to the issue of minting coins.
Previously, I just thought that it would be good if there was a kind of coin among the Xia countries, and there was no need for the coins of the Shandong countries to exist, but now...that is not the case.
Although I have not studied it in detail, I have already sensed its great wonder.
"For several years in the Xuanqing Dynasty, the four counties were under the jurisdiction of the Qin Dynasty. Since the four counties were incorporated into the Qin State for a short period of time, the coins of the Chu State and privately minted coins were mixed before half a tael."
"The result of this is that the entire merchant market is in chaos. Everyone feels confused, and the entire order is also disrupted."
"It is also not conducive to the government's tax collection."
"Although private casting among the people is prohibited by Qin law, most of the people who cast privately have always been merchants. Why is it difficult to prohibit it? The source is that the Qin Dynasty allowed counties and counties to cast half a tael."
"The patterns cast by each other are different, and when they circulate, it is easy to cause chaos."
"Sure enough, if the stereotypes in Xianyang Printing House are printed in a unified manner and circulated throughout the Xia Dynasty, it will be extremely convenient and avoid a lot of confusion."
"It can also easily deal with the hidden dangers of privately minting coins in counties and counties, and prevent the occurrence of small incidents."
Zhou Qing smiled slightly and said about the affairs of the four counties. Over the past few years, he had also been rectifying the coin affairs of the four counties, and he had gained something.
There are counties that can mint money, and according to the specifications circulating in Xianyang Pass, they have expelled the miscellaneous coins, and now only half a tael of money is left.
Whether it is for the government, merchants, or common people, there are many benefits.
"As expected, Hedong County is not allowed to mint money. How can the treasury solve the problem?"
King Qin Zheng walked around the hall, looking at the documents that Meng Yi wrote down quickly. He took out a piece, looked at it carefully, and nodded gently.
Then, he looked at Brother Wang.
The matter in Hedong County will eventually be resolved.
"This matter is not difficult."
"Hedong County is not far from Nanyang County. It is completely possible to mobilize food from the more prosperous Nanyang County."
"As for money, it is not difficult. The governor of Hedong County has these three strategies. I guess it is not his intention alone, but someone suggested it."
"If you want to get involved in the huge profits from selling salt and tea, you should be punished. With a little verification, you will have huge profits in your hands. In the same way, you can also scare other merchants into staying safe."
Zhou Qing did not believe that Du Ling, the governor of Hedong County, had no way to solve the problem encountered in Hedong County.
There are also many students from the Central Academy who enter Hedong County. There are special planning courses in the Academy. Even so, there are also three strategies to open up resources.
That would be a stupid strategy.
"Wu Zhenhou's words are quite popular among people."
"It is natural for merchants to make profits. As long as they can do business safely, they can do whatever they want within the Qin Dynasty."
"In the past few years, Xianyang and other counties have also been advancing to capture the huge profits of salt and iron tea, but they have been a little slower. Du Ling is like this, I am afraid he has other intentions."
"Meng Yi, I remember that Li Si's son Li You is now the chief historian of Sanchuan County. I drafted an order and sent it to the government to dispatch Li You to Hedong County as the county magistrate."
"As for Du Ling, in consideration of his hard work, he should be transferred to Zhangye County as the county governor."
Merchant!
King Qin didn't have much favorable impressions of this group of people, but he also knew that merchants were indispensable in a vassal state. Without those merchants, many things would be difficult to handle.
As long as those people stay safe, they will already make huge profits.
Now if he still wants to seize greater profits, he should be punished.
"In addition, the order was proposed to be sent to Zhang Han, and the Shadow Secret Guards searched for Du Ling's whereabouts in the past few months. Any merchants who came and went in violation of Qin law would be killed."
"The merchant's house was confiscated!"
Following the previous command, Qin Wangzheng spoke again.
"Here!"
Meng Yi writes very quickly and has been writing for many years, so he still has this ability.
In just one hundred and ten breaths, two documents were drawn up. After the king reviewed them, they could be stamped with the royal seal and transmitted to the government for execution.
Du Ling, the governor of Hedong County!
Traveling more than a thousand miles west from the rich Hedong County to become the governor of Zhangye County, the gap... is really not small.
If the document had not fallen into the hands of Wuzhen Commandery, perhaps the king would have directly agreed.
Now, because of the three policies of open source, he was directly criticized by the Wuzhen County Marquis. Even now, I feel that the Duling County Magistrate may have been entangled too deeply with the merchants.
"Abolish the coins of various countries and use the half-liang coins of Qin Dynasty uniformly."
"Now...it's just the beginning."
"Salt, tea, iron... we should also, as the princes said, gather the Xianyang government, gather the county government, and merchants should not get involved."
"The strategy must be carefully considered and implemented."
The national government and the Tingwei Mansion are carefully planning the specific strategies for civil and military affairs, and the specific details are expected to be promulgated and implemented after the Great Court Meeting.
Now, I heard what brother Wang said.
Qin Wangzheng suddenly felt that many things were becoming more and more complicated.
"Over the past few years, there have been traces in the land of Sanjin and Yanzhao."
"The remaining Chu land and Qilu land should not be difficult."
The implementation of many strategic policies naturally did not happen overnight.
For example, if there is a galloping road in the Qin Dynasty, it will take decades to complete. This still needs the help of water and stone, otherwise, it will be even slower.
More than a hundred years ago, King Shang introduced the Qin Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty, and it took twenty years for the strategy to be finalized and finally implemented.
“Only when the treasury is full can you have enough strength to do all things.”
"Just like the Zheng Guo Canal in the past, Zheng Guo, the commander of Datian, also said that if the Wei State's treasury had not been empty, it would have been rectified and dredged long ago."
"The wealth that belongs to Da Qin should be kept in the treasury."
"The same is true for salt. Doctors say that if a person does not eat salt, his whole body will be weak. In the battle of Changping in the past, the soldiers of Wu'an trapped the Zhao army for many days."
"Although Zhao's army has hundreds of thousands of people, its energy is getting weaker and weaker day by day. This is how it is."
"A few days ago, the government had a statistics on the salt-producing places in the Xia Dynasty. Not many of them fell within the original territory of Daqin. Only Guanzhong and Shuzhong produced more salt."
"On the contrary, Qi, Lu, Yan, and Chu have much lower salt production. Qi has been rich for hundreds of years, and thanks to this, few people admire it."
“Special administrative offices should also be established in those places!”
The power of coinage was consolidated in Xianyang, and the King of Qin felt that it was very good. The counties and counties could just manage the people's livelihood well, and there was no need to worry about coinage.
It is enough to directly mint coins from Xianyang and then circulate them among the Xia Dynasties.
The same goes for salt, tea, and iron.
Especially salt.
The King of Qin felt that it was necessary to bring the salt-producing lands of Qilu, Yan, and Chu under the control of the government. Those things should be left in the counties and the hands of private merchants.
inappropriate.
"The same goes for tea goods."
"I heard that merchants selling tea went to the land west of Hexi and to the land of the Hu people in the north. They made a lot of profits, even ten times or a hundred times their strength."
"I still like some of the words from the Central Academy."
"Some merchants tend to think too much if they have too much money. Wen Xinhou... is a precedent."
"Wen Xinhou!"
"It would be nice if one appeared."
"Iron!"
"The ban on martial arts has been imposed on the counties. I also ordered the counties to send out manpower to collect powerful offensive weapons and sharp swords from the people."
"In the past, Duke Huan of the State of Qi asked Guan Zhong: How is the success of the people?"
"Guan Zhong said to him: The four peoples should not be mixed up. If they are mixed up, they will be confused and things will change easily."
"Huan Gongdao: What about being a scholar, agriculture, industry, or business?"
"Guan Zhong said to him: In the past, when the sage kings had officials, they would work in the countryside, work in the government, do business in the market, and farm in the fields."
"Thus, the strength of the four peoples is small but they are accustomed to it, their minds are at ease, and they do not see anything foreign. This is why their fathers and brothers are not strict in their teachings, and their children can learn without working hard."
"However, what Guan Zhong said in the next sentence: The son of a scholar will always be a scholar, the son of a farmer will always be a farmer, the son of a worker will always be a worker, and the son of a merchant will always be a merchant, which is no longer consistent."
"If you don't manage the world according to the same rules, then the country will not follow the ancient laws."
