Da Qin: The start becomes Qin’s national destiny

The entire country of Zhao, from Zhongshan in the north to Jinyang in the south, was all shrouded in a frenzy.

"Do you have silk at home?"

"Do your relatives have silk at home?"

"Do you know where the silk is?"

Such a question spread throughout the entire Zhao Kingdom. Whether it is a large city, a small town, or even a village in many ravines, there are also merchants carrying burdens who come in and ask around.

Without him, the entire Zhao Kingdom, the existing silk, has all been sold out, and there is no longer a trace of it.

The original market price has skyrocketed tenfold at this time!

But it is still priceless.

The Lu Chamber of Commerce is still an unlimited acquisition. As long as you have silk, the price is negotiable.

Even if it is an old rag of clothes, as long as it is four silks, he wants it!

In large cities such as Handan Jinyang, various chambers of commerce hung up big notices, making a lot of trouble in the city, and they still couldn't buy it.

And some big merchants with great powers ran outside the Zhao Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom, and even the Chu State farther away to buy silk!

You know, this year, going far away is not an easy task.

Between the mountains and forests on the road, tigers and wild wolves rage from time to time; In the remote inn tea shed, there are always black shops that eat people.

Without great skills and manpower, and the relationship with various nobles, don't think about transnational business. Even such a large caravan still took great risks, and if they were not careful, they would lose both people and money.

It can be imagined how touching the interests of silk are.

So, some of the brains came up with other methods.

"Quick, shovel all these corn wheat!"

In a large field of corn that was half green and half yellow, and was about to be harvested, nobles dressed in brocade commanded guards, drove away the people, and eradicated the corn grain.

"Adult, you can't shovel, you can't shovel!"

An old peasant with a wrinkled face clinging to the thigh of a guard, crying unceasingly.

"Eradicated corn, what an old snack for our family!"

"Without food, everyone will starve to death!"

It is a pity that the cry of the old peasant did not have half an effect at all.

"Get out of here!"

The nobleman was furious and ordered the guards to drive him away.

"How stupid! All pimples in the head! "

The nobleman couldn't stop scolding, and saliva spewed out far away.

"How much is a piece of corn worth?" The nobleman's face was full of contempt.

"When I plant mulberry trees, the silk produced in a year is worth more than the grain you have planted for a hundred years!"

"I'm not stupid, I don't have food to eat, I won't buy it?"

The nobleman's eyes were full of fanaticism, as if he saw endless gold, and was waving to himself.

"When I make a lot of money, don't talk about corn, I will definitely buy the legendary Qin Kingdom Immortal Grain, corn and potatoes, so that you can all taste it!"

These words immediately made most of the peasants overjoyed and willing to obey the command of the nobles.

In these years, most of the land was actually owned by the nobility. These peasants, they just help with farming, and then hand over most of the grain, and the rest can only be maintained, and they do not starve to death.

Now that I heard that the noble lord was willing to buy grain for himself, even the legendary Qin Kingdom Immortal Food, how could he not make them happy.

"Come, shovel all these corn wheats and plant them all with mulberry trees!"

"I recently made a lot of money, destroyed every family of corn, gave money and went to buy grain myself!"

This aristocracy is very atmospheric.

In this way, all the farmers were willing to shovel all the corn grain and plant it with mulberry trees.

Only the old farmer who initially blocked him was still reluctant in his heart.

"After planting mulberry trees, can silk still be that high price in the future?"

"If you have all eradicated corn, will you be able to buy grain in the future?"

These words only hovered in his heart, but did not say them. He knew that he was shallow and not as smart as those nobles.

"Alas, I hope that the noble lord has already considered this problem!"

......

The madness of the silk spread throughout the Zhao Kingdom. Not only merchants, but most officials and aristocrats were deeply involved in it.

In the Warring States period, it was they nobles who really mastered the wealth.

Whether it is land, population, or various resources, it is actually in the hands of various nobles.

With their actions, the entire Zhao Kingdom set off a vigorous upsurge, eradicating grain fields and planting mulberry trees in order to seek silk.

Even if there were peasants from time to time below, there was no resistance in the face of a large number of private soldiers to protect the nobles.

Some of them have fierce personalities, and even make a storm of human life.

But all this can not affect the enjoyment of the nobles of Zhao Guo.

Today, it was the early dynasty of the Zhao Kingdom, and a large group of noble officials were waiting outside the palace gate, chatting with each other.

"How about it, your family's grain field, has it been replaced with mulberry road?"

A big nobleman with a fat brain is asking around to show off. His family was the largest landowner in the Zhao kingdom and owned countless fields.

So this wave of silk craze, he got the most benefits.

"Hmph! Fools mistake the country! "

A grim-looking nobleman with an angry face.

He was a side branch of the Zhao royal family, and although he did not hold great power, he was dedicated to the state of Zhao and only fought for the interests of the country.

"You are all idiots!"

"Destroy the grain field, what will we eat in the future Zhao Kingdom!"

"All planted mulberry trees, if the Lu Clan Chamber of Commerce doesn't buy silk, what will you do?"

The royal nobles looked worried, resentful of the stupidity of others, and worried about the future of the Zhao Kingdom.

The big nobleman with a fat brain laughed and didn't care at all.

"You can't eat grapes, just say grape sour!"

"Isn't it because your family only has a knighthood and no land?"

The nobleman with a fat brain was extremely disdainful, he had seen too many such people.

Don't look at the usual clean face, worry about the country and the people, once there are real interests, they will run faster than anyone, and they will be blacker than anyone!

This wave of silk craze, countless aristocratic officials, eating all mouths of oil. Only this kind of lord who has no background land can not participate in it.

So much so that various reasons were found to oppose silk.

At this time, King Zhao's palace finally opened its doors, and the early dynasty was about to begin.

"Meet the King!"

Zhao Guoqunchen saluted in turn.

"Get up."

King Zhao smiled and said happily.

Recently, in the palace, the various uses have obviously improved a lot. White paper porcelain, the same is not lacking. Even many concubines changed into new ayara dresses, which fascinated him.

He didn't know that all this was a change brought about by the Lu Clan Chamber of Commerce. The silk was very popular, and King Zhao, as the largest nobleman, did not know how many benefits he had gained.

Of course, all this is the concern of the various managers, who just needs to enjoy the results.

"Today, what is the important thing for the secretaries?"

King Zhao said while recalling last night, the beauty from Yan Kingdom. That taste, exactly...

The first to stand up was the royal nobleman who refuted others outside the palace gates.

"King Qiyu, silk is now very popular, and many nobles want to destroy the grain fields and plant mulberry trees in order to weave more silk."

"In this way, my Zhao Kingdom may fall into a crisis of food shortage!"

"Please the king make a clear judgment, forbid the destruction of grain and mulberry!"

King Zhao was stunned, and it definitely seemed to make some sense.

Seeing this, the other great noble officials couldn't help it. If they forbid all this, they will suffer great losses!

"King! That's a bad statement! "

"As long as there is gold and silver, where can you not buy food!"

"The king must not..."

One by one, the great noble officials stood up and began to oppose one after another.

"yes! As long as we have enough money, we can better arm our soldiers and dominate the world! "

At this time, a general spoke, refuting from a military point of view.

As soon as King Zhao heard this, all the ministers objected, and said it so reasonably, he was unable to refute it.

"That's it, let's leave this matter at that, we'll discuss it later!"

King Zhao waved his hand, skipped it and went to discuss other imperial affairs.

As long as the royal nobleman who was worried about the Zhao Kingdom before, his face was lonely.

"Alas! The general situation is such that there is nothing I can do! "
