Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 104 Don't Call It Unpredictable! (seeking subscription)
"Break your legs, give you another pair of crutches, and tell you: Without me, you can't even walk, so you have to be grateful." Ji Heng looked at the lame beggar and limped away, With a soft whisper, he left without looking back.

He actually did the same thing this time.

However, this is what the nobles, powerful and merchants did to the poor at the bottom. Now he just does the opposite and imposes it on the merchants.

It worked surprisingly well.

At least Feng Shi hated it in his heart, but he was still grateful to himself on the surface.

Soon.

Ji Heng returned to Xicheng.

He took off the mask on his face and threw it straight into the stove, fetched some water from the well, watered some of the vegetable fields he had created a few days ago, and then lay lazily on the deck chair.

he knows.

There will be basically no problems with merchants.

No matter how bold and greedy the merchants were, they would never dare to argue with the 'First Emperor'. The banner of Lu Buwei would directly overwhelm them.

They can only agree.

Once the Yanchi Mine is handed over, it is beyond their control.

The government has too many means to target.

However, Ji Heng knew very well in his heart that the merchants only gave in for a while, and it was absolutely unrealistic to want them to willingly spit out the benefits they got.

They will definitely rebel.

It's just that in the past two years, merchants did not dare to take the lead.

Merchants are doing business in all directions, traveling south and north, knowing what is happening in the world, not much slower than the imperial court. The reason why they forbear and hibernate is that they are forced to bow their heads due to the pressure of the current imperial court. Once the imperial court declines or the world is in turmoil, they will Will follow the trend.

Ji Heng put his hands under his head and said coldly: "It's too easy for merchants to compromise."

"They are counting on changes in the world and taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. They don't know that Daqin is also buying time. Once the Yanchi mine is taken away by the court, it will be too difficult to get it back."

"You have no chance either!"

"The shackles on merchants' heads are slowly being formed. When Daqin sweeps the world again, you will have no chance to take off the shackles on your heads."

"The bustling world is all about profit coming and going."

"The appearance of Lu Buwei's strange goods is actually a good thing for Huaxia."

"At least put the businessman in a cage."

"But it's not enough!"

Mansion shop.

Fusu looked at the empty doorway, smiled wryly, and returned to the west chamber, he didn't dare to be as rash as Ji Heng.

With Ji Heng's demonstration, you only need to follow the gourd to draw a scoop.

Helping Su flick his sleeves, he said to Wei Sheng, "Go and call a merchant in."

"No." Wei Sheng said hastily.

Fusu sat upright.

He recalled Ji Heng's every word, deed, and every step of the operation, secretly marveling in his heart, Ji Heng calculated the merchants too much, and did not allow the merchants to argue at all, and whenever the merchants wanted to argue, he would directly use a stronger posture to suppress The merchants had to keep silent.

Strong!

Strong from start to finish.

Even though the government wanted merchants, Ji Heng still maintained his strength and never made any retreats, let alone any compromises. Instead, he forced the merchants to kneel down and beg for mercy step by step.

Fusu couldn't help being amazed by his super-strong control over the situation.

immediately.

He thought of Lu Buwei.

He actually knew very little about Lu Buwei.

When Lu Buwei died, he was only five or six years old.

But he vaguely remembered that after Lu Buwei dismissed himself as prime minister, the world was in turmoil and the government and the people were restless.

In the more than [-] years since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, it was unheard of in the past that the death of a guilty official would lead to the lawlessness of the government and the people.

Lu Buwei has been in Qin Dynasty for more than [-] years. He has the merits of establishing the country and the crime of disrupting the country. However, he has made great achievements. princes.

Only the crime is great.

Entering the palace privately, treacherous and disorderly government, the government and the public are in turmoil, and ugliness abounds.

However, what really silences the world is the rare goods!

Perhaps it was because of Lu Buwei that after Lu Buwei died, Shihuang personally issued a notice of "Letter to the People of the Country", succinctly announcing to the world that a city like Lu Buwei will never be in the country from that day on. The state of Qin served as an official and eunuch.

Don't say it is unpredictable!

Therefore, when Ji Heng moved out the banner of "Lu Buwei", neither the Feng family nor other merchants were doomed to dare to argue again, because they could not argue, let alone dare to argue.

Fusu pondered for a moment, then revealed a hint of understanding, and whispered: "Is this just taking advantage of 'power'?"

At this time.

There were a few footsteps from next door.

Fusu withdrew her mind, took a deep breath, and looked towards the East Chamber.

Feng house.

After lying on the couch for a while, Feng Dong opened his eyes, how could there be any confusion in his eyes at this moment?It is clearly sharp.

It's just that the eyes are full of anger and hatred.

He sat up straight, and could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, he slapped the bed angrily, and cursed: "It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable."

"I, Feng Dong, have been in business for decades, how have I ever suffered such a big loss?"

"How dare a mere Lizi insult me ​​like this?!"

"A great shame!"

aside.

Feng Zhen had stood still for a long time.

In fact, he had already expected his father's move.

After Feng Dong's voice became low, Feng Zhencai lowered his head in shame, and said, "Father, my son has let you down this time, the government came prepared this time, and we won't allow us to object at all, and even moved out Juling , in order to force us to submit.”

"I"

Feng Dong glanced coldly, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "You didn't do anything wrong, I heard it at the time, even I could only bow my head at that time."

"This eldest son is really scheming!"

"Since we knew about this, we have been calculating. From the very beginning when the rumors spread, which made us panic, and then we were notified, every step was considered dead."

"Our Feng family has really suffered this time!"

"No." Just as Feng Dong shouted angrily, he seemed to think of something, stood up suddenly from the couch, shook his head and said, "It's not the eldest son."

"We have lived in Xianyang for so long, and we still know something about the eldest son. The eldest son has a gentle temperament, and he definitely can't do such a scheming thing."

"The culprit is that Mr. Zhong!"

"It was this person who took away our Yanchi with five bamboo slips."

Figured everything out.

Feng Dong's face became extremely ferocious, if Ji Heng appeared in front of him again, he would even wish to swallow Ji Heng alive.

Deceiving too much!

Feng Zhen smiled wryly, so what if he knew?

Standing behind this person is the eldest son.

He said unwillingly: "Father, what should we do now? Just hand over the salt pond and salt well? This is a golden pond that brings in hundreds of thousands of dollars every year!"

"Without the salt ponds and salt wells, we have been rooted out."

"What's more."

"We also want us to take away the people who are in Yanchi Yanjing. If we do this, this Yanchi Yanjing will have nothing to do with us."

"Father, what should I do?"

Feng Dong didn't say a word.

Holding the bamboo stick in his hand, he paced back and forth in the room, thinking about the solution, and finally, Feng Dong's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, and hissed: "Since the government wants it, then give it to them."

"For?" Feng Zhen's expression froze.

Feng Dong snorted coldly: "If you don't give it, will the government let you go?"

"You have read all the five bamboo slips. The crimes are clearly listed on them. As long as we dare to show our dissatisfaction, the government will dare to kill our whole clan immediately."

"in addition."

"All the people arranged by Yanchi have withdrawn."

"Don't keep any of them."

"Those who are useless in the clan, whether they are big or small, are all sent to the government. The family has raised them for so long, and it's time for them to share some things for the clan."

heard.

Feng Zhen's face changed slightly.

He said in a concentrated voice: "Father, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Yes?" Feng Dong sneered, and said disdainfully: "If you don't do this, how can you win the trust of the court? Do you really think that the government can't find out the people we put in Yanchi? You also really think that if you send some side branches over, the government will When nothing happened?"

"Don't test the court's bottom line."

"We are not qualified!"

"Instead of trembling in fear in the future, it's better to change your mind quickly and at ease."

Feng Zhen looked around and said in a low voice: "Father, the government is so powerful this time, I am afraid that all the salt merchants and iron merchants in Guanzhong have been called here, and they are probably very dissatisfied with the imperial court. Why don't we join forces in private? Let the imperial court make some concessions."

Before Feng Zhen could finish speaking, Feng Dong's bamboo stick struck him.

"Confused!"

Feng Zhen was puzzled.

Feng Dong said coldly: "If you really do this, you will really fall into the trap of the government."

"What did the surname Zhong Zi say?"

"The court's move is to guard against Lu Buwei. Are you doing this to prove that you have the idea of ​​threatening the court?"

"Do you think the imperial court will treat you lightly?"

Feng Zhen's face changed slightly.

He really didn't think of this layer.

Feng Dong snorted coldly, and said sternly: "You haven't figured it out until now, the calculations of this Zhong's surname Zhuzi, his calculations are chain after chain, chain after chain."

"You can't resist at all!"

"And this is exactly the brilliance of that Zhongzi Zhong."

"He left it open from the start."

"Our Feng family donated six thousand gold, isn't six thousand gold a lot?"

"many."

"But the eldest son didn't pay attention to it at all, and returned it directly. Our Feng family didn't accept it, and I'm afraid the other families didn't accept it either."

"You should think about it now."

"If the government takes our donations and takes away our salt ponds and mines, we merchants, big and small, might not dare to fight against trapped beasts."

"But the beauty of this person is that he only accepts one price."

"This leaves us with a way out. With a way out, do you think other merchants will go all out? And the government doesn't just leave you with a few gold, dozens of gold, but all of it."

"Thousands of gold!"

"That's enough to last generations."

"There are thousands of gold in the clan, who would risk the entire clan being killed just to get angry with the court?"

Feng Zhen's face turned pale.

The whole person is also terrified.

Seeing Feng Zhen's terrified appearance, Feng Dong flashed a look of dissatisfaction, and said, "Now you know you're afraid?"

"This time, be honest and admit it."

"We have no chance of winning."

"This person plotted against us from the very beginning, but although he forced us all up the steep mountain, he left us a narrow path."

"Doing more is more wrong, doing less is less wrong, not doing well is good."

"Don't be stupid now."

"Otherwise this person will really push us down!"

"And once this goes on, all the hundreds of members of my Feng family will be wiped out."

"The only thing we can do right now is to wait until the world becomes chaotic and the court can't control the situation. It won't be too long."

"I, Mrs. Feng, can still afford to wait."

"I can only wait!"
