Martial arts crossing begins with the story of looking for Qin

Chapter 45
Although Xiang Shaolong has made great achievements in battle, his position in the army is not irreplaceable. The Qin State lacks literati and refined scholars, and the most important thing is iron-blooded warriors.

However, Xiang Shaolong's views on the national economy and the people's livelihood are indeed far superior to others. The "economic aggression" policy back then, the development of industry and commerce, the spread of culture, the emphasis on technology, and the encouragement of births have made Qin's national strength in recent years and other five countries. The distance is so great that there is a potential to ride the dust.And his way of fighting is also different from other generals. He usually decides the outcome outside the battlefield, and never confronts the tough.Although it is not difficult to win with Qin's strength, he can always pay the smallest price.

The King of Qin said comfortingly: "Shaolong is benevolent and righteous, and loves the soldiers. He really deserves to be the general of our Great Qin."

It made Mr. Mo and Xu Xian blush a little.

Xiang Shaolong looked at King Qin, then Prince Zheng, a famous tyrant in history, he decided to say more, hoping to change him, and said: "I was born in the mountains, grew up in the rivers and lakes, from the bottom to the bottom Today, although I am powerful and powerful now, I never dare to forget the helplessness when I faced the powerful. I know that even the most ordinary people have fear and hatred. I am afraid of being hated by these people because their number is too large. There are too many, and the number of dignitaries like us is too small, so that so many people hate so few people, then these few people are not lucky."

King Qin, Prince Zheng and the two generals were all stunned. They had never thought about this problem before.Xia, Shang, Zhou, and up to the Warring States period were all wars among the feudal lords. The king of Qin gave gifts to the people only as war resources, and did not think that his own resources would turn against him. It was precisely the peasant uprising that shook the foundation of the Qin Dynasty.

Xiang Shaolong said: "Mencius also said: 'The people are the most important, the community is second, and the ruler is the least.' The people are the foundation of a country. I have said it more than once. Population is the most important resource, but if this resource Conversely against us, any world-renowned generals are useless, because their soldiers also come from these resources. The king, the boat, the people, and the water, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it.”

These words of Xiang Shaolong are mainly for Prince Zheng, because he has the worst personality.

The King of Qin said: "Shaolong is a great talent. These years, he has devoted himself to the people's livelihood, making our Great Qin even better than before, and the country is rich and the army is strong."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty, I am just in fear all the time. I always think, if the wealth of the people of our Great Qin is far better than that of the other five countries, and it will continuously attract people from other countries to our Great Qin, isn't that right?" It can cut off its military source, destroy its tax revenue, and win without fighting."

King Qin couldn't answer it at all, which was far beyond his comprehension.Every time I talked with Xiang Shaolong, it was thought-provoking.

Prince Zheng was also thinking about Xiang Shaolong's words, Gan Luo was already thinking about what he should do if he was the prime minister.

The two generals felt that this would ruin the future of the soldiers. If there is no battle to fight, what do these generals do?They came here to want Xiang Shaolong to take back his promise and stop torturing them. This seemingly nonsense decision was unexpectedly explained by him. It seems that every decision of his has a deep meaning.

Gong Gong still worried and asked: "Then can they all pay?"

This can be said for sure, if he practiced thirteen tricks and said that he didn't practice well, he couldn't be a soldier, and he wouldn't be paid, then he would be miserable. Should he kill them or keep them all the time? .

Xiang Shaolong didn't understand what it meant.

Gong Gong explained: "If you say they are unqualified and leave them alone, what shall we do?"

Xiang Shaolong asked with a smile: "You are afraid that you will keep raising them."

At this time, Gong Gong couldn't take into account his embarrassment, and said yes very bluntly.

Xiang Shaolong changed his mind, and came up with a new idea, saying: "That's easy to handle, leave those who can't be soldiers to me, and I'll take care of them."

King Qin was also curious, this little dragon is really a sage, and asked: "Do you know how many people you have to support? With the financial resources of the Wu family and Taifu Qin, it may be difficult to fill this bottomless pit."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Let them support themselves. They have sound limbs and the ability to work. Women can do a lot. I plan to open a textile factory and let them weave cloth. Weaving has always been done by women. work."

King Qin nodded and said, "Let them weave cloth and then sell it, but you won't starve to death. Shaolong just built some looms, and with your wealth, it's nothing."

Xiang Shaolong shook his head and said, "I'm in business, how can I lose money? They are only in charge of weaving for wages, and I am in charge of selling."

King Qin thought it was charity, but he didn't expect it to be business again. This little dragon really missed money, and laughed and scolded: "You know money."

Xiang Shaolong thought about it again, and felt that selling cloth was still too troublesome, so he said again: "Otherwise, my cloth is mass-produced in a centralized manner, and my Wuzhi Ranch produces wool and can provide raw materials, so the price is certain It’s cheaper. But the quantity is too large, and it’s troublesome to sell. I’ll open another garment factory to supply our standard military uniforms. When the time comes, my lord, I’ll give you a discount when you buy my military uniforms.”

King Qin was taken aback, laughed, pointed to Xiang Shaolong, and said, "You have made the business of the widow."

Xiang Shaolong said: "I'm mainly afraid of trouble. I built factories around the ranch. The upstream is the ranch to provide raw materials, the midstream textile factory weaves, and the downstream garment factory makes clothes. It is already a relatively complete industrial chain. Around the ranch You can also build a slaughterhouse or something. In short, industries related to these factories can be built around this area to form an industrial park. With the increase in population and income, you can also develop catering and entertainment. Convenience services such as residences and markets may be more prosperous than the city of Xianyang in the future.”

Once again, they were overwhelmed by Xiang Shaolong's thoughts.

Xiang Shaolong looked at their stunned faces, proudly said: "If the king and the two generals are interested, they can also participate."

King Qin asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "It's just doing these things. We need to invest in the early stage. We invest in proportion. If we make money, we will share the money in proportion. This is a joint stock company, and we are all shareholders."

Still able to operate like this, Qin Wang asked: "Wouldn't that be your money?"

Xiang Shaolong explained: "There is never enough money in the world. If you have money, everyone can earn it. Of course I can afford the initial investment, but what if I have no capital and only ideas? Then I will Absorbing spare money from the society, helping me make money, and then distributing the money to those who invest in it, everyone is profitable, this is called financing.”

That's all I can say. Issuing stocks in this era is too difficult, so I won't talk about it.

Another purpose of Xiang Shaolong's transfer of profits is to bind interests and create an interest group, but he dare not say it in front of King Qin.

Qin Wang was thinking about the impact of this model on society, but the two old generals had a much simpler idea: this is Xiang Shaolong giving himself money.

With Xiang Shaolong's ability, he said that if he made money, he would definitely make money, so he just nodded and agreed, he was a little embarrassed, this was clearly a grab for Xiang Shaolong's money.Willingly refuse, but also reluctant, no matter how old-fashioned the old general is, he also knows that money is a good thing, and there is no one who doesn't love money, let alone this was proposed by Xiang Shaolong himself.

Qin Wangdao: "At first I thought that Shaolong was the best at fighting, and later I thought that Shaolong was the best at being prime minister. Now it seems that what Shaolong is best at is making money! When it comes to making money, there is no one in the world who is a match for Shaolong. .”

Xiang Shaolong said: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. It is fundamental to have a full stomach. I have earned innumerable wealth through business, which can provide me with endless enjoyment. If I live a luxurious life, then when I am an official, I will not be corrupt or accept bribes for money. No one can bribe me with money. I can do things for the king wholeheartedly, because I have lived the best life. And the people are rich, no I will be hungry, and the society will be stable. I don’t have to worry that they will hate me, and I can enjoy my noble life with peace of mind. The nobles should hope for peace in the world, so that they can enjoy the support of the people with peace of mind. Living a life full of purple, drunkenness and gold. My dream is to sleep until I wake up naturally, and count money until my hands cramp."

Everyone laughed, Qin Wang took a deep look at Xiang Shaolong, and Xiang Shaolong once again turned the topic back to the issue of people's livelihood without leaving a trace. Looking back on the conversations with Xiang Shaolong these years, it seems that the most important thing is not how to destroy Although the Six Kingdoms always talks about destroying the Six Kingdoms, what he devotes most of his energy to is improving people's livelihood.

King Qin insisted on his own identity, and had no intention of cooperating with Xiang Shaolong to make money, but the two generals could not stand the temptation and decided to participate.

Xiang Shaolong doesn't have to worry about how to participate in the shares, he has a dedicated person responsible for financial management.The purpose of Shaolong in this matter is not to make money, he will give more profits to the two generals, the main purpose is to find allies.

The training ground was not set up in the barracks, but an open space was found around the pasture outside Xianyang City.Xiang Shaolong still thinks it is better not to put them together with the male soldiers, the instructors are also the female soldiers sent to the ranch.

Wushi Ranch has adopted orphans for many years, both men and women, and has already had a group of elite female soldiers.

Xianyang City is bustling with activity, and everyone is looking forward to the demeanor of the first female soldier in history.

Yingying and the others, the proud girls of heaven, put all their energy into training their troops, and they no longer bothered the princes and brothers of Xianyang City. Everyone was relieved, but people like Guan Zhongxie who wanted to cling to these The ladies are very disappointed.

Xiang Shaolong was sitting at home, holding an invitation card in his hand, Lu Buwei is marrying a daughter, and the son-in-law is Guan Zhongxie.

It seems that Guan Zhongxie has given up on being close to Yingying, and he is going to be completely tied to Lu Buwei.

No matter what the relationship between Xiang Shaolong and Lu Buwei is, there is still a need to show the appearance, this wedding must be present.
