Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 37

"Your Majesty, absolutely not. The treasury can no longer support the cost of building the new capital." Li Si knelt on the ground and said with a heavy pause.

Seeing Li Si's appearance, Fu Su sighed inwardly.For Daqin, it is not too much for Li Si to use the four words of bravery and loyalty.

From Shangcai Buyi, who was favored by the first emperor, he sat down to the position of today's prime minister step by step. He is under one person and above ten thousand people, enjoying the supreme honor.

Qin made Li Si, and Li Si also let Qin swallow the world and unify the world.

It's a pity that during the change in the Dune Palace, in order to keep the power in his hands, he listened to Zhao Gao's bewitching, and ruined Daqin's society instead.If this incident hadn't happened, Li Si's life would have been perfect, and he would be a model to be pursued by generations to come.

Ying Zheng remained silent, and the bead shook slightly, making it difficult for people to see the face of Emperor Shi Huang. No one could guess what Ying Zheng was thinking.

What Li Si said, Yingzheng naturally considered it, but after hearing what Fusu said, Yingzheng's inner desire to build a new capital reached an indescribable level.

Just when Yingzheng was caught in various entanglements, a voice turned his worries into joy.

Fusu smiled and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, Fusu has a strategy, which can make the treasury build a new capital without spending a penny."

For free?
Li Si looked at Fusu blankly. Since the beginning of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, he had never heard that such a huge project did not require money from the treasury.

Countless courtiers also looked at Fusu in shock, knowing that Fusu you dreamed of meeting an immortal, but can this kind of thing change?
At this moment, Yan Le couldn't get in the way at all, so he could only quietly stay aside and watch Fusu perform.

Ying Zheng above couldn't wait, and asked, "Fusu, what's your plan?"

"My son has roughly calculated that the construction of the new capital is initially planned at 50 yuan..."

Yan Le heard this, and immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have just calculated in my heart that the construction of the new capital will cost no more than 15 million yuan. The 50 million yuan that Mr. Fusu said is really deceiving the king. "

Hats off?
Seeing that Yan Le was so proficient in labeling himself a bully, Fu Su sneered in his heart.Do you still think it was in the past?In the past, Yingzheng had hardly heard Fusu's defense in its entirety, but now, Yingzheng's impression of Fusu has changed drastically, and if he still uses this trick, he really doesn't know how to write dead words!
Since you jumped out, if I don't take a picture of you back later, how can I save face?

On the surface, Fusu remained as usual, Yingzheng glanced at Yan Le, and said, "Xianyang Order, don't worry, let Fusu finish speaking, and then make a decision."

"Indeed, the total amount of stone, wood, etc. and various expenses spent on building the new capital is no more than 15 million yuan at most. The 50 million yuan listed by Erchen is not without source."

"My son thinks that the migrant workers used in the construction of the new capital will be paid as diary workers, ten dollars a day, and meals will be provided. The final cost is only 50 yuan, which is not too much."

Ten dollars a day?
If Fusu really did what he did, the final cost of 50 yuan would be about the same.But is it necessary?
Since ancient times, large construction projects have been levying corvees. Not only are they not paid, but the folks have to bring their own meals. What's more, even if the money is really paid according to the diary, the folks do a day's work, but they only pay six dollars. Nearly doubled the wages.

Looking at the faces of Yingzheng and the courtiers, Fusu knew that these people still couldn't understand the meaning of this move, so he immediately explained: "Father, instead of collecting corvee, hire civilians to build it. The benefits are in the future."

"Firstly, there is a difference between the enthusiasm of hired laborers and the laborers obtained from expropriation of corvee. In the past, civilian husbands suffered from corvée, and their discoloration changed when they talked about corvée. , all came here voluntarily, and there are monetary rewards, so you should be happy, and the progress of the construction period will be greatly accelerated."

"Secondly, the folk husbands are paid according to the diary labor, and the folk husbands who come to build come from various counties and counties. This is also to broadcast the kindness of the father to the world, so that everyone in the world knows that the father is sympathetic to the people."

"..."

Li Si didn't continue to listen, and interrupted: "I know a little about all the benefits listed by the young master. But, such a huge amount, where does the money come from?"

Earlier, Fusu said that building a new building would cost nothing, which completely tied Li Si. Therefore, Li Si didn't ask Fusu to say anything else, and directly raised this question.

Fusu smiled slightly. From the moment he had this idea, Fusu was also taken aback by his bold idea, but after recovering, Fusu began to think carefully about the gaps and omissions in it, and predicted what might happen in it. The problem.

Fu Su had expected Li Si's question.Fu Su didn't answer Li Si's question, but instead asked: "Prime Minister, do you know how many wealthy households in Xianyang City are worth more than 300 million yuan?"

Hearing this question, Meng Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide. Didn't Young Master Fusu ask himself this question yesterday?Just slightly modified it.

The young master asked himself to support him at the right time, could it be here?
When Li Si heard this question, he thought a little differently. Could it be that Mr. Fusu wants to take all these people together?If you really do that, what's the difference between that and asking for your own death?

Xianyang has a population of more than one million, and many of them are rich people from the original six kingdoms of Shandong. After all these years, although some wealthy families have declined, some rich people have all their wealth confiscated because they violated the law.

But even so, there are at least 300 wealthy households with a fortune of more than [-] million yuan. Li Si, who is the prime minister, is far more aware of this than Meng Yi.

Under the registered household of Qimin, the government has recorded a person from birth to death, and the data obtained by Li Si is precisely obtained from these population changes. The advantages of this point are far beyond Meng Yi's comparison of.

When Liu Bang entered the pass in later generations, all the generals were searching for gold and silver treasures, but Xiao He collected those rosters, money, grain and account books and took them away. This became the foundation of Liu Bang's understanding of the world.

Liu Bang knows everything about how much food can be collected anywhere in the world.Before the fight, Liu Bang knew exactly how much Xiang Yu had.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" said: Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle.How could Xiang Yu not lose when he met Liu Bang, who seemed to have a perspective on the opposite side?

The household registration system established by the six generations of the Qin court made a wedding dress for Liu Bang in this way.The so-called Chu-Han struggle for hegemony is just a replica of Qin's war to destroy the six kingdoms.

Li Si clasped his hands and replied, "The number of households in Xianyang that cost more than 300 million yuan should be around [-]."
