Three Kingdoms: Starting from the Replacement of Shaodi

Huangfu Song said, Qin Bin nodded, and took the words, “I’m not afraid that they will escape, if they escape into the Gobi or grassland, they will become rootless, so there is no need to worry.”

In this way, this expedition with the 7,000 white-robed army as the vanguard, 10,000 cavalry as the rear army, Ziyun as the commander, Huai Wen as the counselor in the army, out of the right to support the wind, quickly attacked Han Sui. ”

Chen Qingzhi and Wei Rui stood up at the same time and responded, “Oh! ”

Qin Bin emphasized again, “Ziyun, Huaiwen, you must remember that our target is the population, and we don’t need to care about the gains and losses of the city, nor do you need to care whether Han Sui is far away from the grassland, you only need to take the population of the four counties occupied by Han Sui.” ”

“Subordinates obey!”

Qin Bin then ordered Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng and others to prepare for receiving the displaced people, and sent Qin Qiong to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to garrison Zuo Feng Yi to guard the Ma Teng Department and wait for the opportunity.

According to Qin Bin’s plan, he did not care about attacking Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the focus was on plundering the population.

As for the land in Liangzhou, it will not run with long legs, as long as there is a population, Qin Bin can use it to advance step by step, build cities and roads, and implement land occupation with a population base.

As for whether Ma Teng and Han Sui would run away after defeat and then harass the Liangzhou realm, Qin Bin was not afraid.

Because Qin Bin did not lack horses, when it came to the mobility of the army, the troops of the Hongnong Royal Mansion were absolutely the best in the world.

In addition to mobility, in terms of equipment, Qin Bin’s side also has an overwhelming advantage.

Therefore, whether it is a sports war or a positional war, Qin Bin can press Ma Teng and Han Sui to fight.

There is no need for much scheming at all, just push it flat.

After the war was allocated, Qin Bin discussed infrastructure issues with the remaining cabinet.

Qin Bin spoke first, “Chang’an City is old and dilapidated, and renovation costs a lot of money and food. And if it is not renovated, as a county office, it is still reluctant. However, as the Hongnong Royal Mansion is located, it is a little worse. So I’m going to start a new city. ”

Wang Anshi and the others were stunned for a moment, and they all frowned.

Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng, and Fan Zhongyan are all systematic, and they are full of loyalty to Qin Bin, but full loyalty does not mean that they will blindly follow orders, and they will consider Qin Bin’s interests as the highest priority.

Wang Anshi’s first reaction to the construction of the new city was that it was not in the interests of their own princes, and even very harmful.

Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song’s faces changed slightly, but before they could speak, Qin Bin waved his hand to stop them.

And said, “Don’t worry, I’m not stupid enough to do something that hurts people’s money.” ”

Hearing Qin Bin say this, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song were secretly relieved, they were afraid that Qin Bin would be empty-eyed because of a little achievement.

Qin Bin continued, “The reason why I want to build the new city, in addition to the majesty of the royal palace, is to stimulate the economy of the Sanfu region. ”

The cabinet and the others were stunned after hearing this, and they didn’t seem to understand what Qin Bin wanted to say.

Qin Bin looked at their expressions and quickly understood, so he briefly explained what ‘economy’ was.

“The so-called economy can actually refer to people’s livelihood. But rather, it is actually a business activity. More fundamentally, it is the question of ‘demand’.

If a country wants to be prosperous and strong, agriculture, industry and commerce are indispensable.

The role played by merchants is particularly crucial.

Because merchants can establish exchanges.

For example, food, clothing, housing, etc., can be established through merchants to establish an exchange system, so that both buyers and sellers can meet their own needs.

And with demand, there will be buyers, with buyers there will inevitably be sellers, sellers in order to obtain more benefits, will create more exchanges to meet demand.

And this process of exchange is the so-called economy. ”

Listening to Qin Bin’s words, the people present were extremely intelligent people, and they quickly understood the meaning of economy, but because of the limitations of the times, they still did not understand the importance of economic development to a country.

Huangfu Song asked directly, “Although the old minister understands what ‘economy’ is, but what does this have to do with His Highness’s construction of a new city?” ”

Qin Bin glanced at the people present and found that they were all the same as Huangfu Song, and did not see through the essence of building a new city.

Qin Bin was good to explain, “You guys have forgotten that the conscription system has been abolished in the royal government. Forget it, let me ask you, if you want to build a huge city like Luoyang, what do you need? ”

Huangfu Song and the others looked at each other, not because they didn’t know what they needed, but because they didn’t know why Qin Bin asked so.

But soon, Wang Anshi’s eyes lit up, and he spoke up, “The materials needed to build a new city are transported from the south and north of the world, and the cost is incalculable, and the required conscription is tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and it takes at least several years or more.”

However, none of this is a problem!

Your subordinates understand!

Not to mention how much it costs to build a huge city like Luoyang in the Sanfu region.

Now the royal government has abolished conscription and replaced it with a hiring system.

With this alone, we will not have the so-called labor and wealth loss phenomenon when we build a new city!

Because once the construction of the city began, the royal government had to pay the corresponding money and grain as wages to the people involved in the construction of the city.

In this way, when the people gain money through labor, they will inevitably want to live a better life, and then they will inevitably trade with merchants.

This is the ‘need’ of His Highness’s mouth.

And when the people have money, they will become the ‘buyers’ of the king.

Then there are ‘buyers’, then there will be no fewer ‘sellers’.

As long as we ensure fairness and justice in commercial taxation, plus our ten taxes and one commercial tax is much lower than other states and counties, and the construction of a large city like Luoyang, the amount of materials required is probably difficult to estimate, and as long as we use real money to purchase materials, the world’s merchants will inevitably flock to it after learning about it.

Isn’t this what Jun Shang calls a ‘seller’?

Buyers, sellers, and demand are all there, and it is difficult for the Sanfu region not to prosper.

The simple reason is that the people build cities for us through their spare time, so as to obtain money and food.

And the world’s merchants gathered Sanfu because we needed a lot of construction materials.

And as long as the merchants who still have brains will find that the people in the Sanfu area have money and needs, then those merchants will otherwise bring more and richer commercial goods for the people in the Sanfu area, so as to earn money in the hands of the people.

And our royal government can also extract taxes from merchant transactions.

Although it is only a commercial tax of ten taxes, once commerce and trade prosper, this commercial tax is very considerable, even much higher than the agricultural tax.

In this way, won’t the money and food we spent on building the city come back?

This is to create a virtuous circle… Well, economic development. ”

After listening to Wang Anshi’s words, Lu Zhi and the others fell into deep thought, and quickly sorted out the stakes, and also understood that Qin Bin’s construction of the city and the labor and loss of wealth since ancient times are two different things.
