Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 250 Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, a four-pronged approach (please give me a monthly recommendation!)
But because Fusu succeeded in persuading him, he gained the support of all the officers and soldiers in the court.

In this way, the previous quarrel between Fusu and the generals because of the reform has disappeared.

Being looked at by Qiangu Yidi like this, everyone felt terrified.

Fusu was also murmuring in his heart.

Ying Zheng suddenly said seriously to Fusu.

"I have decided to implement reforms. But I also see that this matter is not something that can be completed in a year and a half. It is not something that can be made public at this time. As the prince, you should always remember your identity at the time. Although there are millions of people People, you are gone, but as a king, the most important thing is to balance."

"Quantity, then know the weight; degree, then know the length."

The connotation of Ying Zheng's words is already very clear.

This matter is best done quietly, and doing it with great fanfare is not a good thing for him, the prince.

Fusu's face was serious, and he nodded and bowed.

"My son understands your father's meaning. Thank you for reminding me."

Back to the topic, Ying Zheng Su Rong.

"Our Qin Dynasty has always focused on farming and warfare. Now that Liuhe has been swept away and the world is unified, I do not want to start war again, but my millions of troops will never be allowed to return to the fields. The world has been established, and the four seas are all dependent on me. Millions of soldiers suppressed it.”

This last sentence, Ying Zheng's tone is very strong.

Ying Zheng always controlled the military, but another reason for the death of the Qin Dynasty was that he transferred all his troops to the border areas.

But if a monarch is established in the border area, then these troops will naturally be transferred back.

Then we can take advantage of Qin's direct route to protect the foundation of Guanzhong. Any country that wants to rebel and raise troops can send troops to destroy it as soon as possible.

And the military strength of a million troops can definitely intimidate the four directions. Even the princes from all directions have nothing to fear.

Moreover, during the reign of Ying Zheng, it was completely feasible to establish a feudal system.

Because the personal charm of the First Emperor, ah, the personal prestige of the First Emperor, was enough to intimidate everyone.

Ying Zheng continued:
"I also understand what you mean. The military merit and title system is a wartime system. Since we cannot support the people with soldiers, we must support the soldiers with the people. And if we want to support the army with the people, we must first support the people. And the people can only support themselves. . Therefore, we must adopt the four-pronged approach of farmers, scholars, workers, and merchants."

Fusu couldn't help but sigh strongly in his heart, Ying Zheng's comprehension ability is indeed first-rate.

"What the father said is very true. This is what I mean. The Qin State reformed from Shangyang, but in fact the country's system is for attacking. Now the truce, the army is used for control, and Qin's system also needs one by one. Revise."

Ying Zheng asked again.

"Since we need to support the army with the people, we need the wealth of the country to maintain the army with the power of the country?"

Fusu had already mentioned the theory of enriching the country.

At that time, Ying Zheng thought it was benevolent government, but now, Ying Zheng discovered that this was a way to reconcile the many interests of the people and the army.

Fusu nodded repeatedly.

"What your father said is absolutely true. This is the original intention of my proposal to enrich the country. Enriching the country will not only enable the country to have a large amount of financial resources to maintain an army, but also help your majesty win the hearts of the people in the world."

"If we want to make the country rich and prosperous, we must be based on agriculture, and farming and weaving must continue to be rewarded. However, industry and commerce are also profitable. However, the Qin State has always implemented a policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business. This policy cannot If you disobey it, I sincerely request your father to promote official business throughout the country."

Fusu was in charge of the internal history of millet, and his business happened to be in charge of commercial prices.

"Control the world's commerce and set up special institutions to control commerce. The salt and iron industry has always been run by the government. In this way, the world's money can be collected in Xianyang."

"Our Qin Dynasty has reaped the benefits of salt and iron since the beginning of King Shang's reform. But now, the world is wider and the people are more numerous. Especially in the eastern coastal area, because it is close to the East China Sea, the people have their own fisheries. When Taigong ruled the country, he promoted industry and commerce. The industry is profitable from fish and salt, and more people return to Qi, so Qi becomes a great country."

"I thought that your majesty could send someone to manage the world's salt and iron industry and act as a government official. He would establish a chief minister of agriculture, and then set up a salt and iron chief under the chief minister to take charge of the national salt and iron business. At the same time, he would set up salt and iron offices in each county. Officials or iron officials are responsible for the production and sale of salt and iron."

"The salt and iron official camp began in Qi State, and it has existed for a long time, and Qin State has always implemented a salt and iron monopoly. It is just a tax, and the profit is extremely low."

"Since businessmen are seeking profits through business, they not only harm the interests of the common people, but also cannot be completely prohibited by law. I think that if we use the power of the state to operate salt and iron throughout the country, we will not only benefit from it and enrich the country, but also control the national price. "

It is true that the Yantie official business has existed for a long time, but at that time it was just a tax, not a real franchise.The official operation of salt and iron really started during the period of Emperor Wu. During this period, the country truly realized the monopoly management of salt and iron, which was equivalent to the state-owned economy.

In fact, the state of Qin already had government-run commerce.

But after the world was unified, Qin was busy reforming laws, mobilizing troops to suppress, unifying weights and measures, and building roads.

The government's control over business has never been dealt with.

To control commerce all over the world, then the land of Qilu is the highlight.The most important thing is that with the help of government agencies, prices can be unified across the country.

"You are responsible for governing Su Neishi, and you are responsible for this matter."

"only."

Fusu asked again.

"The great profits of business have been owned by His Majesty. I wonder if the people can relax the policy and allow the people to do business independently."

"This matter is not a trivial matter. There will be a court meeting the day after tomorrow. At that time, I will delegate this matter to all ministers for discussion."

"only."

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, commerce is actually the smallest head and the fastest to solve.

Then there are the peasants and workers.

"In addition, I believe that industry and mining should also be vigorously developed. The mining of iron and copper mines is beneficial to the country. Fu Su believes that His Majesty should also vigorously promote the strategy of recruiting labor with the local areas in the six countries. Mining copper and iron ores , strictly control iron ore and copper mines.”

Even if the country becomes a monarch in the future, the iron ore and copper mines will all be controlled by the state.

"good."

At that time, the methods of government management were democratic system, official collection, official transportation, and official sales.For example, in the case of salt, the government provides production tools, and then the people cook the salt themselves, and then the government purchases it and transports it to all parts of the country for sale.As for iron resources, the Han court had strict control. Since Emperor Wu, all iron ore resources, iron castings, etc. in all parts of the country have been controlled by the court. All processes related to the production and circulation of iron are controlled by the government. Everyone in the private sector is not allowed to engage in this industry.Of course, when salt and iron were classified as government-run, there were also corresponding punitive measures. At that time, if private people boiled salt and cast iron without permission, they would be punished by being punished by being beaten to death, or by being executed, and all production tools would be confiscated.With the state's monopoly on salt and iron operations, the fiscal revenue during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was further enriched.
