Chapter 240 Whoever is dissatisfied, stand up!
"This thing is actually very worthless, but it will definitely be very valuable in a short period of time. I plan to sell such a mirror for [-] to [-] yuan. What does the Wushi Sect Master think?" Jiang Bai asked.

Wu Shiluo sighed: "With such a low price, it only takes half a year for the whole world to abandon bronze mirrors and use this particularly good mirror."

Jiang Bai asked: "Do you want to make money through this?"

"I know that Taifu's intention is to give Ushi hundreds of thousands of livestock, but this is not enough." Wu Shiluo said simply, "I can hand over all the livestock, including the sheep, but our property cannot be less."

"I can only guarantee that your wealth will become more and more, but you have to pay a corresponding price," Jiang Bai said. "The official position that was originally assigned to you is second only to Jiuqing. You can only hold it for half a year at most. , but it cannot be compared with my original plan for you to be a high-ranking official at the level of Jiuqing for 20 years."

Wu Shiluo was startled and stared at Jiang Bai with his black eyes for a long time.

"Don't look at it, the name is set to be Taipusi. The original plan was for you to serve as the Taipusi. Your tribe should choose the one who is best at raising horses to be the Taipusi in Anding County. Since you have chosen to increase your wealth, then I This can only be a profitable business for you." Jiang Bai said, "The first is the market for this kind of mirror in western Guanzhong and Longxi, and the second is bricks. In addition, you can act as an agent for the private glass market in the entire Guanzhong area, which is where the mirror is made. This kind of transparent thing.”

Wu Shiluo thought about it for a long time, and she knew that being an official was the best choice for her family.

But when you become an official, do you have to give up so much wealth?
"I won't let you suffer, and I won't let you suffer. I will give you as much goods as you can bring out. You want them all in one go, and I will give them all in one go. If you want a steady stream of water, I can set a total value for you." , I will not cut off your supply before your family's wealth doubles." Jiang Bai smiled, "You don't have to worry about your wealth being too much, we will be uncomfortable. With my ability, just Wushi, It doesn’t seem worthy of my attention, what do you think?”

Wu Shiluo was silent and thinking.

At this time, Huaiqing ran back and asked: "Our family is willing to stay in Xianyang, and the power of Bajun can also be handed over to the government, but we need to retain private soldiers. This is the fundamental way to ensure that our business will not be disrupted by barbarians from the southwest. "

"No." Jiang Bai refused without mercy.

You, a small businessman, want to own tens of thousands of private soldiers?

Da Qin must develop commerce, improve the status of merchants, and pay more attention to the value of the commodity economy.

But if the businessman wants to keep his private army, then destroy it!

Huaiqing was filled with anger and fear, and couldn't help crying: "Don't you give us some way to survive?"

"I gave you a way to live, but you don't want it. You have so many ways to live, why do you have to choose to be my enemy? Since Ying Zheng dares to trust me, I have no choice but to help him win a complete world. In this world, both agriculture and agriculture must be developed. , the handicraft industry is strong, the commerce is extremely prosperous, and the cultivators must have land, the farmers can have enough to eat, the workers are just hired workers, not slaves raised by anyone, and the merchants must operate honestly and in accordance with the law. Taxes are divided. You, a small business family, want to have private soldiers. Should I give you another 10 people and make you the king of the southwest?" Jiang Bai said coldly.

Huaiqing said: "We don't dare to think like that."

"Don't tell me about your difficulties. Your difficulties first lie in your refusal of government intervention. You want to control the power in the southwest. Otherwise, I, the millions of soldiers of Great Qin, will not be able to protect your small business family?" Jiang Bai said , "Don't try to cry for benefits from me. What Ying Zheng wants to give you is his business. I will only try to kill you. If killing one doesn't work, then kill a hundred. If a hundred doesn't work, then kill 1. , The world will never allow businessmen to hold military power, not even one!"

He finally told Wu Shi: "You can go back today and discuss with your people. My conditions do not need to be changed. Before the spring, if you can reply to me, I will treat it as if you have made the final decision. 50 Lishan Legion soldiers for We are all jealous of obtaining military exploits, etc. We urgently need a purpose that can rectify our name!"

Wushi Luo sighed: "How dare thousands of Wushi people dare to fight against the heavenly soldiers and generals? Don't worry, Taifu, I know how to choose." "That's right," Jiang Bai said, "You have hundreds of thousands of animals. A prince is more than enough. With this thing, I will build you a luxurious statue. Ying Zheng and his descendants will not attack you even out of respect for you. As long as you do not rebel or violate the law Fa, you can only become richer, instead of waiting to be chopped off by my knife and discarded in the dirt like some stupid families."

In the afternoon of that day, Wu Shiluo wrote to the imperial court, asking for a suitable official position with 12 war horses, 30 cattle, and [-] local sheep.

There was an uproar in the court.

Da Qin stipulated that land and money could be exchanged for titles.

But generally speaking, it's just a matter of hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to exchange for an intermediate title and a land-level title.

Who has ever seen someone give out war horses equivalent to the total number of cavalry mounts in a country in exchange for an official position?

The officials in the imperial court who were not aware of the wealthy Wushi family were anxious.

Li Si actually suggested: "In this case, we can give them the position of border governor to resist the Huns. These cattle, sheep and war horses can also be given to their tribesmen with titles, such as the fifth doctor is enough."

Ying Zheng was very dissatisfied with this.

Li Si hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since they came to the door on their own, they are afraid of the power of the imperial court. They cannot give the rich people in the world an extremely bad start and let them take the opportunity to bargain with the imperial court. This is not conducive to the long-term stability of the country. I sincerely request …”

"Okay, I can't threaten your position as Prime Minister Zuo!" Ying Zheng said impatiently, "If anyone else has an opinion, speak up!"

The ministers looked at each other, could it be that the emperor actually wanted to give him a higher official position?
Wang Wan tentatively said: "Your Majesty, you can reward his troops in proportion..."

"Do you want to give one to each of the thousands of people in the Wushi?" Ying Zheng said lightly, "I don't understand, donating so many supplies to the imperial court, isn't this a huge contribution? As for people being threatened, what does it have to do with you? what relationship?"

Li Si was panicked. This was the second time in a short period of time that he had misunderstood the emperor's intentions.

He immediately retreated obediently into the crowd.

Isn’t it okay if I don’t say it anymore? I don’t dare to say it anymore?

"Okay, since you have nothing to say, I will say something," Ying Zheng said, "I declare an edict that from now on, the Wushi Luo of Taipu Temple and Xingtaipu Temple in Daqin City will enter the dynasty as the founder of the country and as the minister of Taipu Temple. , appointing talented people from the Wushi family to Anding Xingtaipu Temple. Since you all are opposed to this official position, I will not make it difficult for you. I will set it up under the Taifu sect and I will support it with my own money."
