Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 551 Establishment of Industrial and Commercial Administration

In the next few days, Zhang Cang and the Yulin army dispatched again and again, arresting many businessmen and their families, and confiscating their family members.

Of course, because of this, the streets of Xianyang are now much deserted.

Many merchants have chosen to close their doors and close their markets. Among the merchants, people are panicked, and countless people are anxious.

Those businessmen who bought bond orders before are very popular now!

Because many shrewd businessmen discovered that none of those who were thrown into the prison had ever purchased a bond order.

In other words, these people do not have a good reputation in the market and are well-known profiteers.

Because of this, those who did not have bond orders in their hands were willing to pay high prices to buy bond orders. After all, in their view, this was a hope of survival.

You must know that while Zhang Cang was in action, checkpoints were set up at Hangu Pass and Wuguan Pass, and these checkpoints would be released to ordinary people.

But if you want to import and export a large amount of goods and gold and silver, then I am sorry, you are allowed to enter and not allowed to exit.

As for when it will come out?The military generals guarding the gate also gave a unified answer: everything must be in accordance with the king's edict.

And these military generals guarding the customs have also been ordered, and all businessmen who want to leave the customs are not allowed to let them go.

After all, after leaving Guanzhong, the sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fishes to leap. At that time, even if Qin Ting wants to reach out, it will be too far away.

But in this pass, all activities are verified by biography as proof, where the government wants to check, it is very convenient and quick.

In this case, no one will be able to escape the control of the government.

Of course, Fusu also planned in every possible way to form the current situation, but even so, Fusu is still facing great pressure at the moment.

First of all, many of these businessmen rely on some dignitaries and officials. These people have started to speak to Fusu one after another since the Fusu operation started.

Of course, when he spoke, it was meant to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. After all, so many businessmen were thrown into prison, and the transactions in the market were indeed hit hard.

It can be said that the core point is still to help Su release the imprisoned businessman.

At the beginning, Fusu had the heart to glance at such a memorial, but when he got to the back, Han Tan directly picked it up.

Then Fusu ordered Han Tan and Chen Ping to investigate the officials who played these memorials.

Among them, some are in the name of being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, seeking their own self-interest, and some are trying to gain fame.Of course, there are also some people who really think about the country and the people.

For this reason, Fusu naturally needs to carefully screen and investigate clearly.

Why was Fusu unprepared for making such a big move against the businessman?Including this time when the market transactions declined and became deserted, Fusu had already expected it.

But in the face of the overall situation, these have become insignificant.

Perhaps the interests of some people have been lost, but Fusu can only say a word of apology silently in his heart, and then continue to go his own way.

Ascending to the throne, Fusu's heart gradually hardened, and he began to understand some of the decisions that Yingzheng had made.

In the past, Fusu felt that such a decision was not wise, and even from the perspective of a future traveler, such a decision was extremely stupid and ineffective.

However, when he really sat in this position, he began to understand that such a decision was indeed not the best, but it was not because he couldn't think of a better way, but that such a decision was the most suitable.

It is the most cost-effective choice.

Because of this, even if there are some losses and sacrifices in the process, as long as it is within Fusu's tolerance and the final result is beneficial to Qin, then Fusu will choose to do it without hesitation. .

Fusu has another consideration to deal with these businessmen, that is, some of these businessmen are engaged in the work of spies.

This is nothing unusual in this day and age.

Merchants also serve as spies and buy and sell information. For them, this is also a way to make money. If they have such an opportunity, they will not refuse to do it.

In particular, some of these businessmen are backed by some dignitaries, and it is more convenient and easier to obtain information.

With a premonition of the coming war, how could Fusu keep such a person.

If these businessmen really found out about Qin Jun's deployment, it would be a big problem.

Another layer of consideration is to test the top and bottom of the officials of the Qin State. The more at this moment, the more obvious it is who is on his side to support the Soviet Union and who is truly loyal to the Qin State.

Before going to war with the Shandong countries, Fusu obviously had a plan to twist the Qin State up and down into a single rope. Only in this way, Qin State will have a chance of winning.

Perhaps the original Fusu plan was indeed paving the way for the Yantie government-operated plan, but at this moment, some modifications have been made to the specific implementation of this plan.

Of course, in the end, Fusu also got some benefits accordingly.

"On Zhang Cang's side, how's the regulation of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau being drawn up?" Fu Su raised his head slightly and asked Han Tan.

"My lord, the general regulations have been formulated."

Fusu nodded slightly, this is also a new government agency proposed by him.

To be precise, setting up this institution has some meanings to appease businessmen.

It's not without reason that the merchants are panicking now. In fact, in the past, Qin Ting did a lot of things like this, but it's the first time he played such a big game!

The establishment of the Industrial and Commercial Administration is both to appease and supervise businessmen.

The Industrial and Commercial Administration is obliged to intervene in issues such as the quality and price of goods sold by merchants.

Before that, Sima Chang in Bashu had actually played such a role. Although he was just an iron official in charge of the two counties of Bashu, in fact, Cheng Zhengle and Zhuo Dingshan had to follow Sima Chang's lead.

And the effect is quite good.

Now Fusu just took out this function separately, and then subdivided it into an organization.

In the future, all businessmen who do business in the Qin State will need to register with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, ranging from small traders to wealthy businessmen, without exception.

This is also to pave the way for the convenience of taxing these merchants in the future. Taking one step and thinking about the next three steps, this is already an almost instinctive thing for Fusu.

In his position, every word and action must have deep meaning, and will never be aimless.

"Okay. Then let Zhang Cang proceed according to the plan." Fu Su paused slightly, and said, "Tell Xiao He that the market will return to normal in at most half a month."

Obviously, the arrest operation has reached this level, and it is almost done. If it continues, it will be harmful and not beneficial.
