Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 158 Heart attack! (seeking subscription)
Ji Heng and the others did not stay in the lobby much.

After all the merchants left, they went directly to the back hall.

Fusu sat back on the main seat.

Ji Heng is the last.

But no one in the audience dared to despise Ji Heng.

Zhang Cang took a sip of the hot soup, but felt bland and tasteless, and put it on the table with disgust in his eyes, looked at Ji Heng, and said curiously: "Mr. Zhong, I have some doubts in my mind, and I want to ask Mr. Zhong to explain it to me? "

Ji Heng said calmly, "But it doesn't matter."

Zhang Cang sat upright, wondering, "I barely know what happened, but I'm just curious, why did you dare to take such a bold move? If you make a mistake, it will endanger the entire imperial court. Don't you worry that things will backfire?"

Fusu and Meng Yi also looked over.

Ji Heng lightly raised the soup bowl, took a sip, and said lightly: "It depends on human effort."

"Things are done by people. If you dare not do it because you are afraid of failure, wouldn't it be more cowardly and incompetent?"

"Furthermore."

"Thirty-six strategies, attacking the heart first."

"Whether it's a merchant or an official, we are all human beings, and as human beings, we have selfish motives."

"Like Zhang Yushi, you like sweets."

"Business officials also have hobbies. They are greedy for money but cherish their lives. Therefore, if they are targeted a little, once their lives are in danger, they will be panicked and flustered. With a little guidance, they will naturally lead to the desired results. "

"But not everyone will be fooled."

"People are different, so some people can keep calm, but this kind of people is destined to be a minority. When they follow the crowd, they are often coerced by the crowd, and it is difficult to speak out in the end. In a heavily fortified place, facing high-ranking court officials, even if they were aware of it, they didn't dare to really say it."

"In the end, I can only helplessly fall into the trap."

"I don't know."

"It's helpless."

"It's not the individual who attacks the heart, but the affected group."

"As long as someone is affected, it means that the balance of the results has shifted."

"Those who follow the trend win the world."

"However, the world will eventually be forced by those who go against the trend."

"But how many people in the world can become contrarians?"

"Most of them are mediocre people who are used to drifting with the crowd. Let these people think about the pros and cons alone, and weigh the pros and cons of hidden worries. It is really difficult for some strong people."

"Thousands of people and thousands of faces are the ones who are scheming."

"Different minds."

heard.

Zhang Cang nodded slightly.

He faintly understood what Ji Heng did.

Ji Heng's starting point is always targeting merchants.

is this group.

Not a single individual.

Coupled with the deliberate severing of contact, panic prevailed in the end. After another round of pressure from the prison office, the situation was finally completely controlled, and the "legislation" Ji Heng wanted was achieved.

However, the law is determined by the government.

Why bother?
Zhang Cang asked: "Legislation is a decision of the imperial court, why tell the merchants?"

Ji Heng glanced at Zhang Cang and said with a smile, "You have such a big head that the authorities have lost your mind."

"The law is indeed determined by the court."

"No reason is needed."

"However, the advent of the relevant commercial and industrial laws will definitely cause an uproar in the local area, and will definitely cause dissatisfaction among craftsmen and merchants."

"They are right to have emotions, but the court needs to provide a catharsis point."

"If the imperial court takes care of everything and handles everything with one hand, it will undoubtedly attract the resentment of all craftsmen and merchants. This is not a good thing for the Great Qin court. To stabilize the world, it is bound to have the help of the people of the world."

"How can we drive all the artisans and merchants who have crafts and money transportation channels to the opposite side?"

"Isn't this fulfilling the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?"

Zhang Cang smiled wryly, cupped his hands, and said, "It's Zhang Cang who is short-sighted."

Fu Su smiled and said: "Mr. Zhong has always considered everything, and his thoughts are far-sighted. I also admire this very much."

Meng Yi agreed with his forehead.

Du He supported Fuxu, pondered for a while, with a sly look in his eyes, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's more than that."

"The sinking of the ship was mostly intentional by merchants, so you, Mr. Zhong, assume that."

"Using the eldest son's generosity and love for the people as an excuse, he proposes strict and meticulous management of merchants. In addition to finding an excuse for establishing a new law and letting salt merchants and iron merchants bear the world's grievances, it also wants these merchants to have to completely turn to the court. Without the court Care, these salt merchants and iron merchants in Guanzhong will struggle in the world."

Ji Heng glanced at Du He and nodded frankly.

Du He could see that he was not surprised.

The three princes and nine ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty, except for Meng Tian and Feng Jie, were considered to have benefited from the family. After the appointment of Lang Guan, he went straight to the sky. Most of the other officials climbed up step by step. Deep, see things viciously.

It is not surprising to have this awareness.

It's just that these people are well versed in the way of being an official, and they won't show it easily.

Ji Heng smiled and said, "What Du Shaofu said is very true."

"At present, the salt merchants and iron merchants in Guanzhong have no turning back."

"Or die."

"Either completely fall to the government."

"Even if the government gives them a way to survive, other merchants will not tolerate them."

"The meaning of commercial law does not lie in the law itself."

"Instead, merchants have been formally included in the government's management category from a wandering group in the past."

"Nothing is too small, and the government can take the opportunity to beat it."

"Businessmen used to rely on various shady methods to borrow money and buy land arbitrarily, relying on creating various turmoil, collecting low income and selling high to make a fortune, and because of their low status, they were not valued by the world. Mu Sheng made hundreds of years of windfall."

"But with the relevant laws, everything is different."

"In the past, there was nothing prohibited by the law."

"Now it's banned without authorization."

"There is very little room for merchants to make money once they come and go."

"Salt merchants can only sell salt."

"Participating in lending money, buying and selling land, buying and selling people, etc. will be considered illegal."

"This is a sword hanging over the merchant's head."

"A beheading sword!"

"As soon as the law comes out, it will have a great impact on merchants."

"The salt merchants and iron merchants in Guanzhong are destined to be hated by merchants all over the world."

"For merchants, taking money from others is like harming their parents. The introduction of government laws was caused by salt and iron merchants. Can you imagine what will happen to them?"

heard.

Fusu was thoughtful.

Du He nodded, approvingly said: "Mr. Zhong is considerate."

"The purpose of putting those merchants back just now is to calm them down and make them realize their current situation. In order to save their lives, they can only turn to the imperial court, and wanting the imperial court to protect them is undoubtedly to provide something that the imperial court values. of."

"And this thing is salt and iron!"

Du He looked away.

He was also filled with emotions.

This Mr. Zhong has completely understood the merchants.

Eat to death.

It was clear that he was the one who forced the merchants to a dead end, but now that he has transformed himself, he has become the great savior of the merchants?
The merchant clearly hated him to death in his heart, but he could only force a smile on his face to express his thanks. This scheme of playing with people in applause really made people feel palpitating.

Turning hands is a cloud, covering hands is rain.

But that's it.

Fusu's expression changed slightly, after these words, he also understood.

It's just that this feeling is familiar.

He remembered the last time Ji Heng said an example, sending someone to break the beggar's legs, and then gave the beggar a bowl, the beggar was grateful for this, but these two times, Ji Heng took the merchant's two Her legs were all broken, but this time she was given a pair of crutches.

Both are essentially the same.

Fusu took a deep look at Ji Heng.

At first he thought that this method was not applicable, but after seeing that Ji Heng used it twice in a row, and the effect was surprisingly good, he was completely concerned about it, and secretly wrote down some details, even Fusu himself didn't know , Why do I care so much about this approach.

Ji Heng smiled and nodded.

That was indeed his intention.

Merchants will not hand over the salt and iron without accidents.

There are no conditions.

So create the conditions.

Offending Qin Ting is just a one-shot deal.

But to offend merchants all over the world is the envy of generations.

He believes that merchants can count them.

By now.

Everyone else understands.

They also understood Ji Heng's overall plan.

From the very beginning, Ji Heng never thought that merchants would take the initiative to hand over the salt and iron, nor did he think that merchants would hand over the salt and iron through trial.

Even if the real trial comes out in the future.

It was too late too.

The imperial court can't wait, but the local government can't wait.

I can only find another way.

Therefore, Ji Heng kept his eyes on the merchants from the beginning to the end, but at the beginning, he deliberately hid them. The previous attacks on leaks and officials near Huai County were just intentional creation of mist to confuse the audience. Uneasy, and then let the merchants start to panic.

His purpose was finally achieved.

The merchants were worried that the officials would leak it, and the government began to arrest people, which made the merchants more restless and panicked, and finally fell into the designed trap step by step.

Merchants don't even realize it at the moment.

Zhang Cang took a deep breath.

He recalled all the steps.

In the end, he shook his head helplessly. He thought that facing this situation, he might not be much better.

Heart attack, heart attack.

Unless you have no weakness in your heart, you are doomed to fall into the trap.

Even if I am aware of it, things will not change in the face of other people's deep panic. The more sober I feel, the more painful it will be, because I can't do anything, I can only watch myself fall into the abyss, that kind of powerlessness The feeling of helplessness is really depressing and suffocating.

Zhang Cang raised his head, looked at the masked man in front of him, his heart was full of vigilance and vigilance.

It's a trick for everyone.

Its wide field of vision and lofty vision make people creepy.

Live with such a person.

I don't know if it's sad or should be counted as a blessing.

Good luck.

They are now in the same camp.

Not opposites.

Otherwise, facing such an opponent is really frightening.

Ji Heng's gaze swept across the field calmly, and he could feel the change in the atmosphere in the field.

He just smiled lightly.
