Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 67 Prime Minister Qin named it: Golden Gale!

Ying Zheng also knew how much influence he had on Yingbo because he was sitting in the audience, so he waved his hands casually to show forgiveness.

Yingbo gave another deep salute, and then he didn't dare to stand up straight, but bent his body and waved to the audience.

There were dozens of other beauties under the stage, holding stacks of cloth pieces of square size, and distributed them to the guests in the shed. Each of them divided two pieces, one piece was crisp and thick, and the other piece was soft and comfortable.

Yingzheng and the civil and military officials in the court all beamed with joy when they saw the two pieces of cloth.

The rest of the visitors were novelty, pondering over the two pieces of cloth over and over again, the non-silk and non-linen cloth was already beyond their cognition.

Yingbu bowed to the audience, and immediately took two pieces of fabric himself, and said straight to the point: "Masters, the raw materials for these two kinds of fabrics are all from outside the Great Wall, so it's normal if you don't know them."

As he spoke, he held up the soft piece and explained: "This soft cloth is made of white cotton yarn from the Western Regions, so it is called cotton cloth."

"In Prime Minister Qin's Hexi country, apart from cattle and sheep pastures, white cotton is the most planted, and there are endless snow-capped mountains."

"This cotton cloth is softer and denser than linen, and it is more expensive than silk."

"In addition, white cotton can not only be used for weaving, but also filled in clothes and bedding in winter. It is a good product for keeping warm, and it is no worse than animal fur..."

Yingbu wasted some time on the cotton cloth, then held up another piece of crisp and thick cloth, and continued: "This thick cloth is woven with woolen yarn, and the clothes made of it are warm and beautiful, especially for men. "

"Wool is everywhere outside the Great Wall, and it's worthless, but if you sell it back to the Great Wall together with white cotton, and sell it as cloth and clothes, you can make a hundred times the profit..."

After all, he didn't mention the auction, but instead taught the merchants present how to make money outside the Great Wall.

The merchants sitting outside were both grateful and pleasantly surprised.

Not everyone here has the courage to go to other countries to make money, but if they just go outside the Great Wall, it will be much easier.

Nowadays, people outside the Great Wall speak the native dialect of the Great Wall. Under the control of the Qin Law, the risk factor of doing business is almost the same as that in the Great Wall.

Who wouldn't want to take a trip if they could make a hundredfold profit?

Even the Lords of Guanzhong were also moved.

They have titles, but no rights or positions. They just live in the fields and houses. Although they have enough food and drink, they don't have enough luxury.

Therefore, in private, they often use the name of guests to do some business to make money and supplement the family expenses. Now that there is such a big profit in front of them, how can they be willing to miss it?
"The merchants don't know how to spin and weave this white cotton wool. Even if the white cotton wool is sold back, how can it be made into cloth?"

You Lord put on a look of 'I'm just curious' and asked Ying Bu.

This is the key question, and the rest of the lords and merchants immediately pricked up their ears.

But Yingbo was stopped by the question, blinked his eyes and looked at Qin Mo and Han Fei in the audience: [There is no line in advance? 】

Qin Mo motioned him to be calm, and turned to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, the workshop under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu can probably be expanded."

Ying Zheng nodded without hesitation: "Good!"

The two monarchs and ministers had already agreed on the strategy of confinement outside the Great Wall on the way to the triumphant return of the previous period, which went hand in hand with the enfeoffment of Tween.

The school divided the spinning and weaving method of white cotton wool into dozens of processes and handed them over to the Shaofu.

The Shaofu will expand dozens of workshops according to each craft, and recruit women with clean net worth to work in the workshops during the slack season.

The white cotton and wool sold by business travelers are all spun into cloth by the Shaofu for a processing fee.

This move can not only generate income for the treasury, but also increase the income of the people, and the imperial court can use this to control the economic lifeline of the feudal states outside the Great Wall!

It is impossible for Jieshi business travelers to go to buy white cotton and wool outside the Great Wall, and it is impossible to go there empty-handed. They must bring daily necessities in the Great Wall to sell, which is also a stimulus to the folk handicraft industry.

It can be said that it counts in one fell swoop!
"Shaofu charges a processing fee to weave white cotton and wool into cloth."

Qin Mo replied directly to Lord Guan Zhong who pretended to be curious.

The Lord of Guanzhong hurriedly raised his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for clarifying the confusion."

The rest of the lords and merchants were stunned, and their hearts were completely heated.

Some of them may have already guessed the intention of the imperial court to intervene, or they may not understand.

However, the executive power of the Great Qin court is there. It can be said that it is arbitrary, or even harsh and cruel, but no one will doubt its executive power.

If the white cotton wool is handed over to Shaofu for processing, the loss will be less and the quality will be better!

……

On the auction stage, Ying Bu threw the two pieces of fabric aside, and beckoned the Meijis to bring in the remaining dozen or so hard-blooded horses, and said with a smile, "I know you guys are in a hurry, so let's serve hard dishes directly."

"These thirteen blood-sweat horses, together with dozens of blood-sweat horses belonging to His Majesty, Prime Minister Qin, and the generals, all came from Wan Kingdom outside the territory."

"The horses of this breed have extraordinary stamina and gallop like flying. Even in Wan Kingdom, they are honored as Tianma. They are privately owned by the royal family, and they are very valuable."

As he spoke, he personally brought a golden horse to the stage, and introduced him: "This is a stallion, one foot long from head to tail, eight feet high from hooves to ridge, rabbit head and crane neck, coat color like gold..."

"President Qin named it: Golden Gale!"

All the guests on the stage listened to Yingbu's succinct utterance from mouth to mouth.

But when they heard the name 'Golden Gale', everyone felt disgusted as if they had eaten flies.

What a peerless horse, with such a non-mainstream name, it's too crotch!

Only Yingzheng and his sons and daughters are no strangers to it...

"Isn't that a good name?"

Yingbu became more and more comfortable, and when he saw that everyone disliked him, he smiled and said: "Since you don't like this name, you might as well take it home and get a louder one."

"The starting price is one hundred taels of gold, everyone bid!"

The visitors looked at each other, but no one said anything, they only looked at Ying Zheng.

The emperor did not speak, and no one dared to shout.

Ying Zheng waved his hand, signaling that he didn't like it.

Therefore, Meng Yi, who was sitting behind Ying Zheng, raised his hand immediately: "500 taels of gold!"

He wanted to buy one as a gift to his elder brother Meng Tian, ​​but this time the price was increased by five times, other people who wanted to make a bid couldn't help but fell into hesitation.

Moreover, everyone was not used to participating in this kind of auction for the first time, and there was no one to bid for it.

Yingbu didn't delay, and directly shouted: "One time for 500 taels, two times for 500 taels, three times for 500 taels, deal!"

Meiji came to the stage, led down the golden blast, and led a black horse.

Ying Bo once again introduced that the starting price was still one hundred taels of gold, and Meng Yi, who took the auction of the golden blast, tasted the sweetness and offered another 500 taels of gold.

In this way, three horses were auctioned by Meng Yi in a row. When the fourth horse was auctioned, the rest of the visitors figured out the rules.

The fourth bloody horse was sold for 200 taels of gold, and the scene fell into an inexplicably frenzied atmosphere!
