my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 207 Zhao Ying: Open a gap again!

After the two finished watching, they lowered their heads and pondered for a while, then looked at each other, and then Li Si stepped forward and said.

"The minister thinks that Li Shiqi's words are indeed worthwhile. If this negotiation weakens the Xiongnu too much, it is very likely that Donghu will take the opportunity to annex the entire Xiongnu and completely unify the north, which will be detrimental to our Great Qin."

Meng Yi also bowed.

"My minister seconded the proposal. Properly preserve the strength of the Xiongnu and make it a barrier between our Great Qin and Donghu. For our Great Qin, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

The First Emperor nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Yes, the two of you will take the lead to draw up a detailed charter as soon as possible and submit it..."

Having said this, Emperor Shi Huang paused slightly, and then spoke calmly.

"But the emperor's eldest grandson brought down the four tribes of Tupu, Qiemo, Dangtian, and Tu each. They cannot be compromised. This is the bottom line..."

These four tribes can not only echo Wuwei, but also are located in the upper reaches of the Shiyang River. Keeping these four tribes is tantamount to choking the throat of the Huns.

Advancing can be attacked, retreating can be defended, firmly grasping the initiative.

The meaning of the first emperor is obvious, I don't need to hit you, but I want to retain the advantage of hitting you at any time.

Li Si and Meng Yi solemnly agreed. On this point, these officials in Daqin have always maintained a high degree of agreement.

Daqin was experienced in negotiating conditions, and the next day, Li Si and Meng Yi came up with a very detailed negotiation plan.

The First Emperor took it, looked at it carefully, and then very naturally passed it to Zhao Ying who was beside him.

"Look, is there anything missing or something that needs to be added..."

Zhao Ying also took it very naturally, nodded slightly at Li Si and Meng Yi, and then looked carefully.Both Meng Yi and Li Si returned a tacit understanding without making a sound.

This negotiation plan is obviously much friendlier than the previous ones. Except for Tupu, Qiemo, Dangtian and Tuge who are very determined not to return the money, the others are relatively lenient.

It will weaken the strength of the Huns, but it will not hurt the bones.

The scale is very accurate.

"Good! Zuo Xiang and Meng Shangqing's plan is very complete..."

After Zhao Ying finished reading, he couldn't help showing a smile, and praised sincerely. Li Si and Meng Yi were about to bow their hands when they heard the words.

He heard Zhao Ying speak with a smile.

"The Xiongnu and my Great Qin are divided into north and south, and the situation is very different. They are quite similar and complementary. Since we have decided to support the Xiongnu in order to contain the Donghu, why not take this opportunity to start a discussion on the border between the two places, so as to communicate with each other... ..."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.

Li Si frowned, Meng Yi looked surprised, and a trace of worry flashed in his dark eyes, even the First Emperor looked at Zhao Ying without saying a word, obviously waiting for Zhao Ying's explanation.

Like the feudal dynasties in the past, Daqin has always pursued a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce.

Moreover, compared with other feudal dynasties, the attitude towards merchants is particularly harsh.

Not only must you be admitted to the city, impose heavy taxes, and impose various restrictions, but also set up a special market supervisor to conduct strict market supervision on the business behavior of merchants, and put an end to all short-term and dishonest operations. behavior, and requires all commodities to be clearly marked, which squeezes the profit margins of merchants to an extremely low level.

The most serious thing is that once a businessman goes bankrupt, he will be taken as an official slave.

To fight a war or something, they have to be recruited first.

As a result, many people had to give up their plans to do business and obediently go home to farm.

Therefore, although the industry, commerce and manufacturing industry of the Qin Dynasty were the best among the six countries, government control was always implemented. All transactions, especially salt and iron, grain, and lacquer gardens, were almost all under official control.

The goal is very clear, which is to encourage farming!
This is a basic state policy that cannot be shaken.

Therefore, when the emperor's eldest grandson, who was deeply loved by the first emperor, suddenly made this suggestion, he was silent on the spot.Everyone subconsciously looked at Shi Huangdi.

Zhao Ying naturally knew the sensitivity of this topic, but for him, this was an excellent opportunity.

In this era when food is a problem, he did not go against the trend of history. He advocated the commodity economy in this era, but the current state of extreme shrinkage of the commodity economy is definitely not conducive to the current situation of Daqin.

The most serious thing is that it has caused an extremely serious separation with the nobles and powerful people in the six kingdoms of Shandong.

Although the six kingdoms of Shandong also emphasize agriculture and suppress business, they are not so strict, including some nobles and local tyrants of the six kingdoms. Because they occupy a large amount of social resources, many people are running their own workshops and shops.

Rijin Doujin.

While maintaining their luxurious life, it actually released part of their productivity.

After the first emperor unified the world, he gathered the world's rich and powerful in Xianyang——

For these people, it is almost a disaster.

In addition, Daqin forcibly pushed his own policy in Guanzhong to the whole country, which dealt a fatal blow to those who obtained wealth by doing business.

On the one hand, excess commodities are accumulated in their own workshops and farms, and on the other hand, excess productivity cannot be released normally.

This situation made the six kingdoms of Shandong, which were already more hostile to the Great Qin, even more resistant and hostile to the system of the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, after the death of the first emperor, this depressed mood began to bottom out and quickly set off a wave of anti-Qin.If you smash someone's job, of course they will dig your old roots...

Zhao Ying was well aware of this.

He intends to make some appropriate adjustments, but before the time comes, he dare not say——

But today is an excellent opportunity.

Therefore, although he had a clear understanding of the reaction of everyone in the hall, he was not flustered. After all, this scene had been simulated countless times in his mind.

He looked at Emperor Shi Huang cheerfully, with a natural and authentic voice.

"The frontier market is different from my Great Qin Jia City. The Xiongnu's land is barren, and the owners are nothing more than cattle, horses and furs, but these three are all what our Great Qin needs-horses, which can enrich the army and allow our Great Qin to produce more. Tens of thousands of cavalry; cattle, can alleviate the situation of our people's shortage of manpower, help us cultivate more land, and grow more food..."

Hearing this, Emperor Shi Huang's eyes could not help but Li Si and Meng Yi could not help showing deep thoughts.

This statement is too tempting.

Great Qin plowed and fought to establish a country.

Opening a battle field can increase combat power and expand farming...

So, is this still encouraging business?

This is obviously for the benefit of my Great Qin!
Seeing this, Zhao Ying knew that his words had aroused the thoughts of the three of them, his heart became calmer and his thoughts became clearer.

"As for fur, in addition to leather armor and shields, it can also be used to make things for our Great Qin soldiers to keep out the cold..."

"If it is as His Highness said, this move is indeed feasible, but will the Huns agree?"

As soon as Meng Yi said this, both Li Si and Shi Huang couldn't help looking over.

They didn't even realize that at this time, they had already changed from whether they could open a discussion field to what to do if the Huns did not agree to set up a discussion field.

Zhao Ying said with a smile.

"Why don't they agree? They are living in the severe cold of Mobei, so they don't lack food and clothing, not to mention critical supplies such as salt and iron, and they even lack cooking utensils..."

Having said that, Zhao Ying looked around at everyone with a hesitation.

"At that time, we only need to pay a little bit of insignificant items in exchange for the scarce items such as cattle and horse hair that we continue to have. Why not do it..."

Before he knew it, a smile appeared on Shi Huang's face.

At the beginning, he was really afraid that his grandson, whom he valued so much, would be whimsical, value the profit of merchants, and do stupid things to shake the country. Looking at it now, this child is more sober than he imagined.

Is this encouraging business?
Do not!
This is the plank road built in the open, and Chen Cang in the dark!
Well, there's no word for it yet, but that's what it means.

This kid, this is clearly under the banner of doing business, developing and encouraging farming.

"Good! The talent of my grandson can govern a country!"

The first emperor couldn't help laughing.

How can a husband ask for a grandson like this!
Li Si couldn't help moving his eyelids, and subconsciously glanced at the calm and composed emperor's eldest grandson, then lowered his eyes silently, while Meng Yi smiled and cupped his hands at Zhao Ying.

"The talent of the eldest grandson of the emperor is beyond the reach of the minister..."

Zhao Ying smiled and cupped his hands.

"Shangqing is absurd. I just mentioned it casually. If I really want to implement it, I still need to rely on the ministers to strategize and carefully refer to it..."

Until now, he had been pinching a cold sweat for Zhao Ying, and then secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and the eyes he looked at Zhao Ying became more and more appreciative.Following the first emperor's side for decades, he has seen countless talents, none of whom can match the emperor's eldest grandson.

It is really the luck of His Majesty, the luck of Daqin!

With a consensus, the rest of the problem is simple.

Zhao Ying did his part to draw a circle on the map of the Great Qin border.

Seeing the position drawn by Zhao Ying, the First Emperor, Li Si, Meng Yi and others couldn't help but admire it.

"Your Highness has a unique vision, this place is very good!"

Li Si couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

This emperor's eldest grandson is only sixteen years old, and his ability to govern the country is so excellent that even the eldest son Fusu back then may not be able to match it.No wonder Your Majesty loves this so much!

Given time, it will become a great tool.

The location Zhao Ying drew was at the junction of Xiongnu, Jiuyuan and Shangjun.

This place is not only adjacent to Jiuyuan and Shangjun, but also overlooks Wuwei and Pupu in the distance. Once a shopping mall is opened, it will immediately become an extremely important place for goods distribution.

Of course, this is only a general framework and intention, and the specific content needs further improvement.

No one knew that it was not Zhao Ying's purpose to set up a discussion field, but his purpose was to forcefully pry open a crack again on the track of Daqin's original history.

He tried his best to strengthen Daqin's vigorous and unstoppable chariot, and tried to tighten its reins.

Naturally, he couldn't accept Fusu's enfeoffment system, but if possible, he wanted to unite all the forces that could be united as much as the great man said.

It is not the trend of history to strictly guard against trade.

Appropriate relaxation, appropriate concessions, in this era, if Daqin wants to have long-term stability, it is almost impossible to simply and rudely replicate the successful cases in Guanzhong. It must properly transfer benefits to the people of the world!

And commerce is an extremely important part of it.

Only in this way can this group of people be tied to Daqin's chariot as much as possible. As for other things, even if they have any ideas, they need to be figured out slowly, and they must not be rushed.

As the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish!

……

Because of the dispute, Zhao Ying finally justifiably intervened in the negotiations with the Huns.

Of course, he didn't need to go to Mobei.

However, they could put forward their own suggestions for the negotiations openly, and Li Si and Meng Yi paid more attention to the suggestions of the emperor's eldest grandson, which made Zhao Ying's plan go more smoothly.

Of course, the negotiation with the Xiongnu was just a small episode for Zhao Ying.

His main task is to be his own wage earner honestly, responsible for helping the first emperor handle government affairs, sharing the pressure of the first emperor, and another imminent matter.

The upcoming first imperial examination of the Great Qin Empire.

His Royal Highness Zhao Ying, the champion general, was the chief examiner of the imperial examination.

Together with Taiwei Liao and Wu Chenghou Wang Jian, two highly respected old men, he will be the chief examiner of this martial arts exam, and he will be the chief examiner of this essay exam together with Zuo Xiang Li Si and Shangqing Meng Yi.

As soon as this news came out, the world was shocked!

The champion general, the emperor's eldest grandson Zhao Ying's reputation skyrocketed, completely entering everyone's field of vision.

If it is said that everyone was still shocked by his unparalleled record, now it is the first time that he has officially appeared to the world as a newly rising rookie.

Many people of insight knew in their hearts that the first emperor was using this imperial examination to build momentum for the emperor's eldest grandson, and an era belonging to the emperor's eldest grandson was coming.

Whether it is the highly respected Taiwei Liao, the illustrious Marquis of Wucheng Wang Jian, or the powerful left minister Li Si, or the Shangqing Mengyi who is deeply trusted by the first emperor, pulling out one alone is enough to bear the burden. This important task.

But this time, everyone is just a foil for the eldest grandson of the emperor.

So, His Majesty the First Emperor, what exactly is he trying to do——

Many people secretly looked at Shangjun.

The eldest son Fusu!
Is this a sign that the eldest son Fusu is about to be recalled? The benevolent, benevolent and loving eldest son of the Great Qin Dynasty is really going to return to Xianyang because of having such an excellent son, and take over the unresolved authority.

Zhao Ying's life was filled with busyness again. In addition to assisting the first emperor in handling government affairs, he also had to seriously ponder the test questions for the imperial examination.

This test question is a direction, and it is also a very clear signal sent by the imperial court to the people of the world, and he will not allow him to slack off in the slightest.

……

But when Zhao Ying was dizzy with his work, Li Shiqi, who was negotiating in Mobei, seemed like a fish in water.
