Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 156 Carry out a major security inspection! (seeking subscription)

Cheng Zheng said: "Mr. Zhong, I think this is inappropriate."

"Too rash."

"I, Cheng Zheng, used to contribute money and efforts to Daqin, why should I be so afraid of the government?"

"Mr. Zhong, you are too selfish."

talking.

Cheng Zheng looked at Fusu, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, it is true that we and the merchants did not handle the sinking of the Huai County ship properly, but this is mainly because the government expropriated the salt ponds and mines, and we can no longer act like in the past. Cut spending, and that inadvertently led to catastrophe."

"We are just as innocent as merchants."

"Now the government is not only inconsiderate, but also intensifies the pressure."

"I, Cheng Zheng, feel unhappy."

Fusu watched his nose, nose, and heart, but turned a deaf ear to it.

see.

Cheng Zheng and other merchants felt a chill in their hearts.

Ji Heng waved his sleeves and said calmly: "In the world, only a thousand days can be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief?"

"Now that things have happened, the alarm bells are ringing."

"Great Qin established the country by law, so it should give priority to the law."

"You have been doing business in Daqin for many years, and you know the situation in Daqin very well. Why do you show such indignation?"

Cheng Zheng and the others turned pale.

Looking at Ji Heng, his eyes were full of anger.

Feng Dong turned his head, looked at the furious crowd, and let out a long sigh in his heart.

Mr. Zhong is so eloquent, how could he be persuaded by them?
The current situation was caused by him alone.

By now.

Feng Dong also understood.

The government did not really find out about the sinking of the ship.

The purpose of calling them over this time is to lay down this law.

During this period of time, they kept exerting pressure on the government. They had long been like frightened birds and snake shadows, and they encountered some intimidation in front of them. If they didn't talk about the shipwreck, they would feel relieved and subconsciously relax their vigilance.

Just relying on this opening and closing, they fell into Mr. Zhong's trap step by step.

In the end, he was directly buried in the abyss for this person.

And it wasn't just them who were buried.

All merchants.

It also includes the usual traffickers.

In the past hundred years, the status of merchants has been deteriorating. At the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, they were no different from prisoners. However, merchants only looked like prisoners, but in fact they were very comfortable in many ways.

Because merchants are not in the eyes of nobles.

It is also despised by all parties.

In addition, merchants deliberately hide their clumsiness.

Therefore, as long as there is a little success, merchants will benefit a lot secretly.

But with the advent of relevant laws.

Everything changes.

They have changed from the notorious street rats that everyone shouted and beaten to the world. This will inevitably attract the attention of all parties, and it is almost impossible to make a fortune in silence.

Even if Tyranny is destroyed in the future.

The laws left by the Qin court will also be used as a reference for future generations.

From now on, merchants will probably wear shackles and trade cautiously.

How sad is this? !

The truth, Feng Dong knows, how can others not know?

This is also the main reason why Cheng Zheng strives.

Otherwise.

The arm can't twist the thigh.

Fusu turned a blind eye to this, and he had already expressed his attitude.

The law is imperative!
Feng Dong looked around sadly, with endless remorse in his heart.

Had he known this earlier, he would never have brought up the wreck.

Not to mention the government.

Ji Heng dusted off the dust on his sleeves, and said calmly: "Anything that is forewarned will be established, and if it is not forewarned, it will be destroyed."

"The legislation is up to me."

"It's time to clarify the relevant views."

"Everything must have a charter."

"If the government wants to manage merchants in a unified way, it must understand the internal situation of merchants. Therefore, after the establishment of the law, major merchants must truthfully report their actual situation to the court."

"Clarify the division of relevant functions."

"In the future, merchants who want to do business must submit the details of their business one by one."

"It includes not only the types of commodities, but also all aspects of delivery, sales, after-sales, taxation, management, etc. must be reported to the government."

"In the future, if there is another shipwreck incident, the government will not have to arrest people like this time. It only needs to pursue the person in charge of the transportation."

"It's always good to have rules."

"What do you think?"

Ji Heng looked down at the merchants indifferently.

Cheng Zheng and the others looked ashen, and their eyes almost burst into flames when they looked at Ji Heng.

If they could, they wished they could eat Ji Heng's flesh and drink his blood on the spot, otherwise it would be hard to get rid of their hatred.

it is good?
good bird.

If it is really carried out in this way, the situation of each of their families will not be seen through by the government?
Now all the big and small affairs of the clan are entrusted to the talented people in the clan. These things cannot be left in the hands of others, but if something happens in the future, all affairs must be traced to the specific person, isn't it impossible? Put the blame on others as before?

This is completely harmless.

Cheng Zheng said with a cold face, displeased: "Mr. Zhong, I admit that you are very smart and have your own unique insights, but doing business is different from being an official, and you consider different things. People, for merchants, are not realistic at all.”

"Your proposal has no chance of being implemented."

"Able people should do more work."

"Most of the children of my Cheng clan hold several positions, how can they be hastily fixed?"

"Mr. Zhong, it's good for you to have ideas."

"But business is not what you are good at after all, so don't make any suggestions to us, or you will only make people laugh."

"Miao Buwen!"

Other merchants echoed.

Ji Heng looked at Cheng Zheng indifferently, and said with a smile, "I really don't know how to do business, but the principles of the world lead to the same goal. Human energy is limited, so it may be more effective to focus on one thing."

"You are dissatisfied, I can understand."

"But you also need to understand the court."

"The imperial court manages all kinds of industries in the world. If it is like this time, arresting a large number of people and interrogating a large number of people, wouldn't it be said that it will have a great impact on you and others, and it will also be a great consumption of the government."

"So some things change when they change."

"You don't have to worry about affecting your own business. The incident in Huai County has a great impact this time. The government has decided to let the merchants involved in it go through several months of security rectification. You have a lot of time to adjust. I believe that waiting for you After the rectification is completed, it will give the world a refreshing feeling when it appears in front of the world."

"What do you think?"

heard.

The faces of all the merchants changed.

They couldn't even believe their ears.

Security rectification?

What is this?
How many months?
Feng Dong couldn't help but said, "May I ask Mr. Zhong, what do you mean by safety rectification? Just because of the shipwreck in Huai County, you want me to suspend operations for several months?"

Ji Heng nodded with a smile, and said, "Master Feng's eyes are really bright."

"I can see the key at a glance."

"The eldest son Zhai has a kind heart, and he can't see the tragedy in the world."

"The impact of this shipwreck is too bad. Hundreds of people lost their lives and hundreds of families were severely damaged. It is really thought-provoking. All of this can actually be avoided. The most important thing is that you have ignored the safety of the relevant personnel, which eventually led to This tragedy."

"So it is very necessary for you to conduct a safety inspection in the clan."

"It's also very important."

"You need to learn from this painful lesson deeply, strengthen the safety publicity and education in the clan, and regard this as a warning case so as not to happen again in the future."

"Gradually can't grow, take precautions before they happen."

Ji Heng's face was heavy.

It's a pity that he wears a mask and is not noticed by others.

Fusu's face turned reddish.

He didn't have this awareness at all.

If Ji Heng hadn't said it, he would never have thought about letting merchants carry out safety education.

But think about it carefully.

But it doesn't feel unreasonable.

After all, things have happened, how can we not learn the lesson?
heard.

Cheng Zheng and the others turned dark.

They never thought that Mr. Zhong could speak so forcefully.

From ancient times to the present, how can there be a saying that when a person dies, the operation will be stopped and safety education will be carried out?Moreover, when a person dies, he dies. If you recruit again, just some boatmen and sailors die in vain.

As for making such a fuss?

Ji Heng said indifferently: "Human life is great, we must pay attention to it."

"This time the shipwreck in Huai County, the government needs to give an explanation to the world, and you also need to give an explanation to the world. After all, it is hundreds of lives, how can you treat it like nothing?"

"It is imperative to carry out a safety inspection within your clan."

"Right now the ships full of salt and iron are sinking, and you won't be able to replenish them in a short period of time, so during this period of time, you should rectify the safety issues in the clan and determine your own management responsibilities one by one. Don't worry about not having enough time. One month No, it’s two months, if not two months, it’s March.”

"The eldest son has always advocated that Daqin should be people-oriented."

"Between heaven and earth, nothing is more precious than people."

"The people are the foundation of the state, and the foundation is the foundation of the state."

"You don't have to worry about the operation of salt and iron. If you haven't completed the rectification in two or three months, the government will continue to give you time. It's just that your business qualifications will be given to other merchants for a short time, perhaps Juling and other merchants. , or the merchants in the vicinity of the Kanto.”

"As long as there are no problems in thinking, there are always more solutions than difficulties."

"Safety first!!!"

Ji Heng bit the word 'safety' again. '

Hearing Ji Heng's words, the faces of Cheng Zheng and others were as dark as the bottom of a pot.

How could they fail to hear Ji Heng's threat?
He was clearly using the excuse of safety to suppress them and force them to submit. They were even sure that if they didn't do what 'Mr. Zhong' said, this man would really dare not let them continue to do business.

But how does the security check qualify?

It's not up to them at all.

It all depends on the face of the court.

It's just that they don't have salt ponds or iron mines in their hands, so they have no way to resist.

If they don't follow what the government does, they may be directly deprived of their qualifications to operate salt and iron, and then they will really have to sit back and eat.

Cheng Zheng and the others felt extremely aggrieved.

Even nest fire.

But they are also very puzzling.

Why are they reduced to such a field now?

Ji Heng was in no hurry.

Just leaning comfortably on the big case, waiting for the merchant to make a decision.

He believed.

Merchants will make wise choices.

Long silence.

In the end, some merchants bowed their heads.

Feng Dong said seriously: "Mr. Feng is willing to follow Mr. Zhong's suggestion."
