After hearing this, everyone felt embarrassed. Look at me and I look at you.
I saw one of them shouting loudly: "Waiting for the young master here, please enter the hall first."
Ying Jingyu laughed and walked into the government affairs hall with six soldiers
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, a sweltering air hit his face, and the large table in the hall was crowded with people.
I was stunned for a moment. I didn’t expect that the Prime Minister’s Government Affairs Hall was still far inferior to the palace in Xianyang Palace...
Jingyu stood at the door and did not enter. He grinned and said apologetically: "Ahem, it's Jingyu who has neglected you all. How about we sit on the ground in the open space outside the door and talk about it?"
Everyone was overjoyed. They didn't expect that Young Master Yu was so easy-going. He was currently the most powerful person in the Qin Dynasty. I'm afraid even the King of Qin was not as good as him...
"Thank you, sir!"
I saw nearly a hundred businessmen and nobles in the hall filing out, and the hundreds of businessmen outside the door each found an open space on the blue brick paved floor, sitting or standing, waiting for Young Master Yu to speak.
Ying Jingyu saw that it was almost done, walked to the foot of a big tree in front of everyone and said: "Some of you are from Guanzhong, and some are from the six kingdoms of Guandong. I would like to ask, what do you think of the future of our country, Great Qin?"
"
"..."
Everyone was speechless for a moment, but they didn't expect that Young Master Yu would ask what the future of Qin would be like as soon as he came up. Who can say for sure?
If Zhao Gao and Dong Lege were in power in the past, there would be no hope.
But now, it seems that the situation in Xianyang is becoming more and more stable, and King Qin and Ying Jingyu are both wise and powerful.
It's hard to say who will win. But with the current situation of the six countries, Qin is still in a weak situation...
Seeing that no one answered, Ying Jingyu seemed to have expected it: "You are all good at business and financial management. I invite you here today because I want to give you a rare opportunity..."
"If it goes through, not only will you get more wealth in the future, but your respective families will also be more stable in the future."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked greedy and stared at Ying Jingyu with gleaming eyes.
One of them stood up and bowed his hands in salute, saying: "I wonder what you are talking about? If necessary, although we have no special skills, it is still okay to donate some money and materials to the imperial court."
Everyone agreed: "Yes, sir, when the Qin Dynasty is in crisis, we have the responsibility to do our best for the court..."
Ying Jingyu stretched out his palm to signal to stop. The echoes below immediately fell silent.
Jingyu said again: "Everyone, although the Qin Dynasty is in crisis, you should not think that our Qin State will lose to Chu Xiang of Guandong."
"Do you know who controlled Xianyang City or even the entire Guanzhong a few days ago?"
"..."
Everyone's expressions were not very good. They all knew that it was Dong Lege, who was also the most miserable person to die in the history of the Qin Kingdom in the past hundred years... It was the nine Yi Qi clan who gave the order to this young man in front of them.
How can you not make people feel intimidated?
Jing Yu said: "It's Dong Lege. Dong Lege was preceded by Zhao Gao. You know who these two are very well. But evil will be punished. God bless the Qin Dynasty, so that my father can eradicate the traitors and regain control of the temple!"
After hearing this, everyone was a little excited and bowed down and said: "Long live the king!"
Jingyu continued: "Maybe you don't think that I and my father will be able to defend Guanzhong, but you have to think about it, who is Xiang Yu?"
"Xiang Yu is a common man, narrow-minded, and his flaws will be reported. According to the news reported by the scouts, Xiang Yu will massacre the city wherever he goes. In the first month of this year, Xiangcheng massacred the city, killing all the civilians in the city. In July, the Chengyang massacre killed all the auxiliary Qin
The whole city's civilians resisted the army..."
"Butcher of the world, how do you think Xiang Yu will treat the people of Xianyang if he conquers Xianyang?"
After hearing this, everyone's faces turned pale, and they were so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. This... This feather is actually so butcher-like?
One of them, a middle-aged man in a yellow brocade robe, stood up and said angrily: "Butcher Xiang Yu, you must die a good death! We must not let the Six Nations invade the pass!!"
Ying Jingyu took a step forward and said: "What this noble man said is absolutely true. The Xiang family has been a general in the Chu Kingdom for generations, and his grandfather and uncle both died in battle at the hands of our Qin army. Xiang Yu is to our great Qin, and to our people in Guanzhong,
I wish I could kill all the descendants of the Ying family to offset his hatred..."
"I can tell you that with Xiang Yu's actions, if Xiang Yu invades Guanzhong, no one in Xianyang City will be spared, and 89% of the entire Guanzhong population will be massacred by him..."
"By then we will not only lose land and wealth, but we will also face the end of the genocide of the Qin people in Guanzhong..."
As soon as these words came out, not only the nearly two hundred businessmen, but also the armored soldiers and palace guards standing aside were all filled with resentment. They wished they could go to the battlefield right now and kill all the invaders from the six countries.
A dozen merchants in gorgeous clothes stood up and said with red faces: "Sir, when the country is destroyed and the species is destroyed, we are willing to contribute all our strength to defend Guanzhong!"
Another person said: "Young Master, we are not people who only care about profit and money. We usually know very little about state affairs. Only after listening to the Young Master today did we realize that no eggs are left unbroken after the nest is overturned."
One person said: "Yes, sir, we understand the difficulties faced by the court. On behalf of my Ding family, I am willing to donate half of my family wealth to support the Qin army in defeating Xiang Yu!"
Another person said: "My Gao family not only donated half of the family wealth, but also asked all the young people in the family to join the Qin army to resist the Six Kingdoms!"
Another person said: "I am willing to donate 80% of my family property."
"I am willing to donate 90% of my family wealth..."
...
Ying Jingyu looked at the increasingly fierce atmosphere, which seemed to be ignited like a powder keg. Even most people who had been watching or still thinking about Xiao Jiujiu were infected by his leader.
Most of the wealthy businessmen who were sitting quietly and watching also eagerly wanted to get up and donate money and people... because the Taiwei and everyone were right, now the imperial court has completely sealed off Guanzhong, and there is no way to get out.
If Xiang Yu really invades Xianyang, it will not only be easy to lose money, but also a high probability of being exterminated...
Instead of facing this inevitable situation, it is better to fully support King Qin Ying Ziying, and it will be an honor if he loses.
But if they win, the imperial court will owe a favor to these merchants and nobles who provide money and help. By then, in the great Qin Dynasty, with the talisman of the official family, the business territory and family power will be as stable as Mount Tai.
No matter how you think about it, you can only fully support the Ying Qin royal family...
Ying Jingyu stretched out his hands and pressed down, and the heated atmosphere in the venue immediately became quiet.
Jingyu said with a straight face: "Everyone, Qin's laws are strict. Even the imperial court cannot use power to violate the laws. You all have gone through hard work and hardships to achieve your current wealth and status. However, in order to protect our Qin laws, the imperial court will never force anyone to do so.
Someone took out a copper!"
After hearing this, all the businessmen below looked incredulous. They had called everyone here today. They were actually mentally prepared. They did not ask for money from these wealthy businessmen. What was the purpose of gathering businessmen to hold this meeting in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Can the imperial court still generate money?
One of the fatter middle-aged wealthy businessmen stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Sir, in times of crisis, there is no need to strictly abide by the law. Besides, we voluntarily do our part for the court and are not forced by others."
"If this were not the case and the imperial court was short of money and food, wouldn't that have given Xiang the Butcher of Guandong an opportunity to take advantage of it?"
Another person stood up and said: "Yes, sir, as long as you get through the difficulties, you can still make more money. If the country is destroyed and people die, everything will be meaningless. What's the use of leaving more property?"
Ying Jingyu said: "I accept your wishes on behalf of the imperial court. But the imperial court that is maintained by donating money is not the Qin that I want to see."
"My intention is that you are all talents of our Great Qin. When the Great Qin can once again unify the world, it will change many unreasonable policies."
"Those who engage in business will be valued by the imperial court, and merchants will be given appropriate opportunities to integrate the world's wealth and smooth logistics."
As soon as he finished speaking, one person stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Master, if you have this intention, we see hope. Please tell me, Master, what should we do?"
The corner of Ying Jingyu's mouth raised and he smiled faintly: "I discussed with my father the day before yesterday and prepared to adopt two policies to solve the treasury crisis. And the imperial court also needs to rely on all the merchants and nobles."
"First, for the long-term plan of the Qin Dynasty, I want to establish the Third Division, which requires a lot of talents and resources. I can guarantee that if the Three Divisions continue, huge benefits will be generated in the future. And the King of Qin also agreed to give up some rights, and the court will
Invest in a part of the three companies, and the rest can be invested by Zhongwei merchants according to the situation."
"The risks or benefits will be shared with the imperial court. If Daqin is stable in the future and the three companies generate huge profits, you will be able to obtain corresponding dividends in proportion to your investment."
