Chapter 21: Moving to Xianyang, the young master is arrogant

Fusu's eyebrows were pounding. He thought about it again and again before speaking out his suggestion, "Does the envoy want to go to the Academy to experience it?"

You'an's smile faded and she refused without mercy, vowing that she and the Academy would be sworn in. No one would try to coax her into the Academy in any way.

Seeing her refusal to cooperate, Fusu couldn't help but think of his younger brother. Although he was naughty, no one dared to neglect his studies.

If You'an knew what he was thinking, he would have to say that as the son of Ying Zheng, a high-ranking official and a model worker, if he failed in his studies or was lazy, he might have to reinvent himself.

Da Qin was not friendly to merchants, and it also had special city registration. Of the seven subjects that gave priority to corvées, four of them were related to city registration, but it did not affect the business of large families.

There are policies and countermeasures. Of course, money is indispensable for the support of high-ranking families. If you can't do business on your own, you can find an agent. This has been done since ancient times. After all, city registration is only linked to the direct line. Some people in the big family are doing business, and some are doing business. When you are an official, you have to cultivate the land, which is the long-term way.

Therefore, the most prosperous Guanfu City and Jia City in Xianyang City are full of restaurants, and the variety and quality are obviously higher than those in Chang'an Township.

They found a wine shop owned by a female owner, and there were two tables of people sitting inside. Fusu sat down and introduced the drinks here to Youan, and Youan became a little more interested.

The female business owner was very generous and cheerful. She smiled when she met Youan's eyes and regarded her as a little girl who was out with her brother at home.

"Since it's a masterpiece, I'll naturally order some drinks and pick out delicious food." She didn't have much hope for the food. After all, even Ying Zheng's meals were not satisfactory.

"I heard that His Majesty is going to move the nobles and wealthy people from the six countries to Xianyang. I wonder where they will be arranged?"

"The imperial court has not yet decided on this matter, so our residence will not be occupied."

Youan propped up his chin and raised his ears to listen to the people at the next table. He glanced at Fusu and said silently: "Is it okay?"

Fusu shook his head. This matter has been debated for some time. Since the destruction of Qi, dealing with the nobles of the six countries has been an issue that everyone is concerned about. Not only Great Qin has a headache, but the nobles of the six countries are also worried.

Zhao Guo, the unlucky guy, was the first to set an example for everyone. The nobles were moved to the south of Guangyuan, and many of them were arranged to do hard labor everywhere. Based on this experience, there were many eloquent ministers in the Qin Dynasty. I collected a lot of money for walking around.

However, they continued to collect gold, and the court was still noisy, and they were not merciful in accepting people. Many nobles who paid money were so angry that they cursed the Qin Dynasty for being better than the barbarians.

"It's almost settled. My father has already started to make room for resettlement. We can't hide it." 10,000+ people have moved to Xianyang. They have to settle down somewhere. Such a big movement cannot be hidden, and there is no need to hide it.

You'an's mind immediately thought of the village in the city, "Your Majesty plans to resettle them all in one place?"

Fusu didn't understand why she asked. Isn't the purpose of moving people into Xianyang just for unified management and not to let them cause trouble outside.

"Yes."

You'an shook his head slightly and looked at him with an expression that said, "You really don't know who is in charge." "Isn't that the imperial court paying to build a place for 10,000+ people to live?"

You can't leave people to survive in the wilderness, and you have to have a decent place to imprison them.

Fusu was silent. The court did not say how poor it was, but it was not that rich either. The six kingdoms' palaces treasured everything and returned it to Da Qin. However, linen and grain were still in circulation. Qin Banliang was not the only currency in circulation. There was also a special "gold cloth" According to the Law, neither officials nor merchants are allowed to be picky about money or cloth, unless the cloth itself does not meet the regulations.

"Then, does the envoy have any good suggestions?"

You'an sighed, still suppressing merchants too much. In a feudal society with low productivity, suppressing merchants is not wrong, but sometimes you have to be flexible.

"The people your Majesty wants to move in this time are either nobles or the richest people in the world. Put aside the survivors of the Six Kingdoms for now, but the rich always have requirements for the quality of life, and when your Majesty builds a house, it will never be built into a palace."

"Of course not." Fusu denied without hesitation.After all, the Qi Palace has not yet been repaired, and people are needed everywhere. In a few years, troops will have to be used against Baiyue. If she were to be the head of Guizhou in the Qin Dynasty, she would be either doing hard labor or on the way to hard labor.

"Yes, when the time comes, Da Qin has spent a lot of money and effort, but the houses built are not satisfactory to them. If we directly grant a piece of land and ask them to pay for the construction themselves, wouldn't it save a lot of money."

Fusu looked at her in surprise, his brows tightening. Would anyone be willing?
“Would they be willing to pay for it themselves?”

Youan smiled and said nothing. Ordinary people would naturally not want to, but who is a rich man?

They pursue quality of life and come to Xianyang as a last resort. There will be no accidents in the future and no chance to leave Xianyang. They naturally have requirements for the quality of the place where they live. People who are not short of money will naturally be willing to spend some money to live comfortably.

"You can ask when the time comes. It's just a matter of words. If someone is willing to build it by himself, he won't be able to hire the head of Guizhou from Xianyang. Since the court doesn't have to pay for it, he can still find something to do without losing money."

Not only was it possible to avoid losing money, but the more he thought about helping Su, the more feasible it became. He looked at You'an in surprise, openly admired her, and openly expressed his admiration for her, "The divine envoy is indeed a quick thinker."

But whether it can be done or not depends on his father's opinion, so Fusu did not say anything rashly.

"Sir, girl, your drinks and wheat rice."

The words stopped and Youan raised the wine cup. The color of the wine was relatively clear. In Daqin, where dirty wine reigned supreme, it was no wonder that he could occupy a place. This processing technique alone would make him the best.

There is still a sweet taste in the mouth, and You'an feels a little disappointed, which is at most as bad as beer.

You can smell a slight sour smell if you get closer, but there is no such smell in your mouth.

"Young Master is very discerning. I thought that Young Master would not go out to drink and dine on the opposite side of the road."

Fusu drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile: "The envoy and I have some misunderstandings. Fusu is not that high-minded."

He also witnessed the battlefield, but it was not his turn to fight against the Six Kingdoms, but Jiuyuan and other places also resisted foreigners.

You'an lowered his head and smiled, "Who told you to leave the impression that you are pedantic?"

Sure enough, you can’t believe everything you read in history books.

The two of them didn't talk about business anymore, they just made some simple introductions. Most of the time, Fusu was doing the introduction, which was completely focused on what she wanted to hear about eating, drinking and having fun.

But the overall atmosphere of Da Qin originally did not include fun, and Fusu himself was not a fun-loving character, so he seemed a little boring when it came to You An's ears.

You'an suddenly asked: "Can I visit the replica of the Six Kingdoms Palace?"

"...It's not completely built yet." Fusu didn't understand what was so good about this palace.

That was such a pity. Youan was still regretting that his visit to the theme amusement park had to be postponed, when he heard a noise and followed the sound. He looked over and saw only two teenagers, one large and one small, fighting with someone.

The younger one had an arrogant expression, "Do you know who I am? I am the Young Master of Da Qin. How dare you offend me if you are blinded!"

Oops, You'an looked at Fusu immediately, and sure enough he saw his face turned slightly dark, "The envoy is laughing, Fusu will go and take care of the housework first."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door, standing tall and carrying the wind as he walked. It was just that Youan wanted to mourn for the arrogant little fat man, and Fusu saw that it would be painful to hit someone.
