The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 320 Taking an Economics Class
Zhou Shi didn't pay attention to the changes on Li Gui's face, and said indifferently: "This general, Mr. Li must have heard of it, it is Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang who is so powerful in the north and famous all over the world!"

"Oh! So it's this general!" Li Gui's expression remained unchanged, and the expression on his face changed somewhat.

"General Guan is one of the most famous generals in our Great Qin. His Majesty once said in person that General Guan is the pillar of our Great Qin. From this we can see how important General Guan is in His Majesty's heart!"

Li Gui hesitated to speak, but Zhou Shi refused to give him a chance to speak, and immediately said: "On the way here, I heard someone say that Mr. wants to donate his family's daughter to His Majesty. I think this must be a small businessman. People slander His Majesty with bad words!

If you want to ruin your majesty's reputation, sir has now surrendered to me, Daqin, so what your majesty wants to do, you should naturally drive for your majesty. That's all, what should you do next, sir! "

"Don't worry, my lord! The grassroots have spent their whole lives in shopping malls. Although they are getting old and unable to do what they want, they are not at the point of fainting!" Li Gui bowed his hands towards Zhou Shi with a solemn expression.

Zhou Shi nodded and said: "Since the old gentleman has made a decision in his heart, then this person will leave!"

Li Gui hastily took out a piece of jade from his sleeve, held it in front of Zhou Shi with both hands, "I would also like to ask your lord to speak kindly in front of His Majesty the Emperor, the little old man would be very grateful!"

"It's easy to say! Easy to say!" Zhou Shi held this piece of priceless jade in his hands with a smile, and the touch was delicate, as if he was stroking the tender skin of a beauty.

Looking at the back of Zhou Shi leaving, Li Gui instantly felt as if he had aged more than ten years.

……

In the evening, Emperor Fusu, wearing a black patterned golden dragon robe and riding a steed, came to the gate of Li's Mansion under the guard of the left and right warriors.

This time, the entire street was filled with black people kneeling.

Lv Siniang was dressed in military uniform, riding behind the emperor on horseback, with one hand resting on the Qingming Sword on her waist, this unparalleled sharp sword seemed to be ready to be unsheathed at any time.

Compared with the nervousness of the warriors in the army, Emperor Fusu appeared very calm and calm.

"Caomin and his family, and all the merchants in Jinyang City, see Your Majesty! Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings and longevity!"

"Longevity without bounds!" A large group of people behind Li Gui started to shout loudly.

Fusu turned over and stepped on the wind to catch up with the sun, and said with a light smile, "Very good, although you are merchants, you are all the people of my Great Qin, all flattened, follow me to the banquet!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!" A group of people got up from the ground one after another, but everyone's eyes were fixed on their own toes, and their ears were pricked up.

With a smile on his face, Li Gui led the emperor into his mansion.

Inside the mansion, everything was covered with the emperor's guards, and everyone turned their gazes to the emperor's side.

On the roof stood a warrior carrying a crossbow and looking around vigilantly. On the ground, there was a warrior with a long sword at his waist, a spear in his hand, and a round shield in one hand.

Fusu glanced sideways at Lu Lingqi, this little girl actually made such a big noise...

Feeling the emperor's gaze, Lu Lingqi blushed immediately, thinking that the emperor had seen through her little thoughts and persuasion.

It's just that what they think in their hearts is not the same.

"Your Majesty, please take your seat!"

Inside the hall, the emperor's main seat is high above, and it can be seen that it was built just today.

If a common people dared to have such a seat in their home, it would be treason.

Fu Su was not polite, he walked up in two or three steps, Zhou Shi naturally followed behind Fu Su, and only after Fu Su took his seat did he kneel down behind Fu Su.

Lv Siniang stood in front of the emperor holding her sword, her eyes swept over everyone present like a blade.

Fu Su smiled and said: "Everyone, take your seats, Si Niang and Zhou Shi, you two also go down.

When Lu Siniang heard this, she went straight to the emperor and took the first seat on the right, and Zhou Shi took the first seat on the left.

"Banquet!" Li Gui smiled and shouted loudly, and immediately armored warriors came up with dishes.

Lu Siniang never took her eyes off these warriors, and she was relieved to see that these warriors were all familiar army officers and soldiers.

"Let's start the banquet!" The aroma of the food permeated the hall, Fusu waved his index finger and said with a flick of his sleeve.

After a while, the dancer came up, and it was known that everything was wrapped tightly according to what Lu Siniang said.

Fusu doesn't have so much nonsense, let's have a big meal first.

The merchants under the seat watched the emperor sullenly before eating, no one dared to make the slightest sound, they all chewed slowly.

As for serving wine to the emperor, there will be no such phenomenon at all.

Since ancient times, only the emperor raised a glass and greeted his officials to drink. Who would dare to hold up the glass and shout: "Emperor, I did it, you can do whatever you want!"

This is too long.

Zhou Shi thought about Lu Siniang's winking, and Lu Siniang suddenly regained his spirits, raised the wine bottle in front of him, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has worked hard for the world, and I toast for the people of the world!"

Hearing this, Fusu wiped his mouth with a silk scarf on one side, held up the wine bottle, and said with a smile: "It's serious, serving the world is my lifelong ideal. I believe that both farmers and merchants have equal status. In our world, merchants and farmers have the same status, I do not prohibit commercial activities, but allow merchants to participate in government pricing!"

Everyone raised their glasses after hearing the words: "Long live!"

This simply speaks to their hearts. In this era, the low position of businessmen is the lowest.

The ranking of the ancients is from the emperor, the princes, the officials of the Qing family, the officials of the government, and then the scholars, and then the farmers who cultivate the land.

Even those who are unemployed and well-known, sometimes referred to as "workers", have a higher status than businessmen.

The reason is also very simple, because the prosperity of the dynasty is based on agriculture.

Agriculture is the fundamental foundation of a regime and a country.

Once the commercial road is opened, it will lead to a decline in food production, affect a country's politics, and even lead to famine, all of which are very likely.

But Fusu didn't have such worries. Champa rice was already being planted, and people like Xu Guangqi were sorting out Daqin's agricultural planting.

Zheng He is also going to the Americas to look for sweet potatoes now, and the population of Daqin will definitely increase dramatically in a short time!
Fusu hopes to see the prosperity of commerce, just like the later Song Dynasty, the economy that supports the operation of the entire country is commerce.

Seeing the happy faces on everyone's faces, Fu Su said again: "Since ancient times, I don't think it's unusual for businessmen to seek profit only. The law will not forgive them! People are the foundation of a country, and commercial profits should be considered in the long run, and remember not to make things like exhausting the river for fishing and killing chickens for warmth!"

Without waiting for these people to digest these things, Fusu continued: "I allow you to set prices automatically in the shopping malls within a certain limit, but once the state intervenes, your prices cannot be changed at will. The economic development of each region varies. The same, so the price should have a certain change!"

After saying this, everyone was at a loss.

Fusu thought about it, and felt that it was necessary for him to give these guys a basic course in economics.

"Li Gui!" Fusu shouted, and Li Gui left the table in response.

"Don't kneel down, go back to your own desk to answer!" Fu Su smiled. People in this era have an inexplicable fear of the emperor. Maybe it's because the first emperor killed too many people, and he was always thousands of people. head fell to the ground.

"Yes!" Li Gui got up, returned to his seat and sat up on his knees, his body was also straight.

"I ask you, in Jinyang City, how much money can you buy for a house like yours?" Fu Su felt that giving an example would make the problem clearer.

"You can buy it for a hundred gold!" Li Gui said. The front of this house is the meeting place, and the area already has a radius of 700 meters. Rideau's appearance.

Fusu asked again: "Then in Daicheng, how much can you buy such a house?"

Li Gui pondered for a moment, and said: "Although Caomin never bought it anywhere, there are friends who live there. If this kind of house is replaced by a place like Daicheng, you can buy it for fifty gold!"

Only then did Fusu sweep his eyes over everyone's faces: "What I want to say is the truth that the price of commodities in Jinyang City is very high, but in Dai City, the value has already depreciated. , and you merchants, if you sell the same thing in Daicheng at the price of Daicheng, how many people in Daicheng can afford it?"

After hearing the words, everyone understood what the emperor had said before.

"In my court, there are two kinds of things, white paper and white sugar, which are now in the hands of the government. I give you three sales quotas for merchants in the Jinyang area. The price you sell in my Qin land must be the same as the government's. The same, as for other empires, you can sell as much as you want at any price!"

"Long live!" Everyone couldn't help shouting even more when they heard the emperor's words.

Throughout the land of China, ever since Meng Tian invented the brush, people have always been writing on bamboo slips. Whether it is writing or carrying, it is extremely inconvenient, but now it is different.

Because the Ministry of Industry of Qin State withdrew from Qin paper, it is convenient to write and carry more conveniently.

The ancients paid attention to learned people, and they were rich in learning.But now, the five carts of bamboo slips were rewritten on Qin paper, and there was only a stack of books.

Therefore, there is a saying among Daqin scholars that talented people are rich in learning.

This led to the sale of Qin paper, which was frighteningly profitable on the land of China.

The Great Qin court relied on Qin Zhi's income, and even reached half of the tax income for a period of time.
