Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 198 Do You Know This Sword?
"Ding dong--!"

In this room, a crisp sound sounded, Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zheng Le both held their breath, and then looked towards the copper plate.

The copper coin was picked up by Fu Su, and Fu Su laughed and said, "It's face up, you can live."

Fu Su returned to the main seat and said: "Now I just want to talk about what you need to do."

"First, the road to Shu is the Baoxie Road. I think that the Baoxie Road needs to be repaired. The funds needed are about one hundred million yuan. You will provide it. Would you like it?"

Cheng Zhengle and Zhuo Dingshan looked at each other and said, "Master, our two families don't have so much money together."

Are you kidding me?
Rebuilding the Baoxie Road is a national-level engineering project. No matter what Fusu says, it is a certainty that Cheng Zheng's and Zhuo's will not be able to spend so much money.

Fu Su smiled slightly, and said: "You two, the imperial court didn't want you to take out this sum of money at one time. Bao Xiedao thought that this project will last about ten years, so it will be provided in installments of ten years. What do you two think?" ?”

When Fusu said this, both Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle breathed a sigh of relief. With 5000 million yuan a year, the two families split it in half and [-] million yuan. Although this money caused a lot of bleeding for both of them, they were able to keep it anyway. Clan, saved their lives.

This is also a life-saving money for the imperial court. Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle both understand that if they can't show their value, then why should the Qin court keep themselves?

"No." Cheng Zhengle and Zhuo Dingshan both agreed.

"Secondly, I will send officials to check and count the land that you have occupied later. Everything will be in accordance with the court's laws. If you dare to invade the people's land in the future, don't blame Gu for being merciless."

Fusu slapped the case table heavily with his palm, which shocked Cheng Zhengle and Zhuo Dingshan, and they quickly agreed.

For a long time, their biggest revenue is not the land they invaded, but the iron mines. This is their biggest profit, and it is also the basis for them to overwhelm others.

"Thirdly, I just know that every year you excavate iron ore and smelt pig iron, and make a lot of profit. However, there are countless corpses in the mine. From now on, we are not allowed to use the people of Daqin in the dangerous work in the mine. If you use me The common people of Daqin need to register with the government, and pay according to the salary standard approved by the government."

Cheng Zhengle and Zhuo Dingshan knew that Fusu wanted to use the money in their pockets for favors. Although the money came from their pockets, the wages were set by the government. Those who work will only be grateful for Mr. Fusu's kindness and the court's reward.

Before Fusu finished speaking, he continued: "The common people who were buried in the mine in the past, you need to personally pay for their family members, can you understand?"

Cheng Zhengle and Zhuo Dingshan looked at each other and said: "Young master, it is the duty of ordinary people to care for the dead people, but the people of Daqin are not allowed to use the dangerous work in the mine. If things go on like this, I'm afraid the mine will be unsustainable. We really can't do anything about it." The imperial court provided funds to build the Baoxie Road.”

Hearing this, Fusu stood up abruptly, drew out the Tai'a sword and said, "Do you know this sword?"

Before the two of them could answer, Fu Su said first, "This is the Tai'a sword, which was bestowed by my father and emperor. I gave this sword to myself. This sword has not yet drunk blood. Do you two want to test the edge of this sword?"

With Fusu's words, Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle were immediately scared to lie on the ground.

"Get up." Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Fusu retracted the Tai'a sword into the scabbard, saying: "In the mine, the people of Daqin cannot use it in dangerous places. I don't want to repeat this matter."

"Promise." Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle felt bitter in their hearts, but they could only agree.

Looking at the faces of the two, Fusu sighed in his heart, it seems that he still needs to mention them a few words.

Fusu said: "Master Zhuo, Mrs. Cheng Zheng, I heard that you two have business dealings with many barbarians in the southwest, and I also heard that there are many small countries in the southwest, and there are often disputes, so some prisoners of war..."

But Fusu didn't go on with the next words. As the eldest son of Daqin, Fusu already felt that he had lost his position by being able to say so far.If this matter gets out, the impact on his reputation will be too bad.

The eyes of Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle were shining, as if they had discovered a new continent...

Seeing the eyes of the two, Fusu's eyelids twitched wildly.The two people standing in front of them are the outstanding ones who have been killed out of thousands of merchants, and they just now have the wealth and achievements they have today.

At this moment, I have provided them with a new way of exploitation and thinking. It is conceivable that the small countries in the southwest will have a hard time in the future. In order for the mine to operate normally, Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle must do everything they can Extremely, fanning the flames in the southwestern countries, sowing dissension, in order to obtain those captives.

However, since the blood of Yi and Di can be used to seek development for Zhu Xia, it is better than sacrificing one's own people, and those countries in the southwest are in conflict, which may not be a good thing for Daqin.

After reaching a certain level, the countries in the Southwest are all in decline in national strength and the people's livelihood is difficult. The Great Qin can easily include them in its own territory, and it does not need to spend many resources to appease the local area.

At the beginning, the Ba Kingdom and the Shu Kingdom were also fighting between the two countries. Later, the Qin Kingdom had the opportunity to enter Shu, and finally annexed the two countries completely.

What's the harm in playing Sitting on the Mountain and Watching the Tiger Fight again?

Fu Su simply stopped thinking about it, anyway, he had already pointed out the way to Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle, anyway, in the end, it was the two of them who were responsible for the notoriety, it had nothing to do with him, Fu Su, and it had nothing to do with Daqin.

"Fourth, I know that there are many slaves hidden in your house. From now on, all slaves in your house need to be verified one by one by the government, and then registered."

Fusu looked through the Qin Law, and naturally knew that at this time, how many servants and maidservants someone in Da Qin had, in fact, there were regulations in the Qin Law, which was completely in accordance with the military merit system.

Therefore, if there is no military merit in the military merit war system established by Shang Yang, although he is rich, he will have no glory, and the wealth he owns does not match the treatment he enjoys at all.

Moreover, it is necessary to pay taxes to raise slaves and maidservants, which is calculated according to the number of heads every year.

Since Shang Yang's reform, especially after gaining benefits after this, Qin State likes to make statistics on everything, and use the data on paper to speak. At the same time, it is precisely because of this that Qin Ting can reach out to every grassroots household.

Once facing a war, every household can be mobilized. This is based on Qin Ting's control over the grassroots from the data and knows how much power can be mobilized.

On this point, Zhuo Dingshan and Cheng Zhengle have almost no room to deny it, especially Zhuo Dingshan, with so many slaves, logically speaking, only a small number of them are actually registered on the official list, otherwise, it would be a big blow to Bashu. No matter how weak the control was, Qin Ting would not allow a wealthy businessman to have so many servants.
