Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 485 Form the Imperial Merchant!

In the Great Qin Empire at this time, not only were the people poor, but the court was also poor.So much so that Qin Emperor Hu Hai, as the king of a country, couldn't help but want to open up business routes.

It can even be said that Hu Hai is now desperate.Because the old Qin people watched helplessly, waiting for the reform to advance.

But the Great Qin court couldn't support a war of any scale, which made Hu Hai very worried.

……

Because of this, although Hu Hai knew that once the trade route was opened and the economy developed rapidly, the status of merchants would inevitably be greatly improved. As a result, the power structure of the Central Plains would undergo earth-shaking changes.

Even once the merchants rise, it will have a certain impact on the imperial power.

But at this time, Qin Emperor Hu Hai had no choice at all.It took 20 years for Shang Yang's reform to make the Great Qin Empire rise, and the world changed from humble Qin to fear Qin.

Hu Hai is still young. Even after 20 years of political reform, he is only in his 40s. To a certain extent, Hu Hai can afford to wait.

But he knows this troubled world too well, and this troubled world will never last for 30 or [-] years. Therefore, he must make the Great Qin Empire richer one step at a time while implementing reforms.

At this historical juncture, at this critical moment, opening up trade routes became Hu Hai's only choice.

……

"Han Tan, I plan to start a business route, what do you think about this matter?" After a long silence, Hu Hai asked Han Tan who was beside him.

"Open a business route?"

After muttering, Han Tan said, "Your Majesty, in Daqin, or in the entire Central Plains, the ranks of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and commerce are deeply rooted."

"Once His Majesty opens the trade route, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the inherent class, and then cause changes in the situation in the Central Plains that no one can predict..."

"Ah."

Nodding his head, Hu Hai had to admit that what Han Tan said made a lot of sense.After being silent for a while, he shook his head and said, "Whether it is any shock or unprecedented change, there is a prerequisite for all of this, that is, the Great Qin Empire exists on the land of the Central Plains."

"The current situation of the Great Qin Empire, if there is no huge influx of money and food, it is impossible to turn things around. If the Great Qin Empire collapses, everything will become meaningless!"

Speaking of this, Hu Hai turned to Han Tan and said, "You go to Dianke and search for a person who has a special sensitivity to the way of merchants from the black ice platform."

"I plan to form a caravan to travel the world, and gather money and food from all over the world to enter our Great Qin!"

"Yes!"

Nodding in agreement, Han Tan walked out.He knew in his heart that Hu Hai had already made a decision in his heart at this time, and he would not change it at all.

And Han Tan didn't think he could change Hu Hai's decision.

……

This time Hu Hai originally intended to form a caravan combining government and business, but after much deliberation, he decided to go it alone. After all, Daqin is too short of money now.

As the emperor of a country, Hu Hai had a strong desire to control, so he finally decided to form an imperial merchant to serve the Great Qin court.

……

"Yafu, the reform of the Qin State has won unanimous praise from the people of the country, and Hu Hai's reputation has been greatly restored. In Qin, he is even called the Living Shang Yang!"

Glancing at Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng had a hint of disappointment in his eyes, which disappeared after a pause.With the interface, he said: "Your Majesty, how the state of Qin is now does not represent the future."

"If the reform presided over by Qin Emperor Hu Hai this time is successful, it will definitely push Hu Hai to the altar. But if there is an accident in this reform, Qin will not be far from collapse!"

He has a clear view of the current situation in the Central Plains.Although Qin is reforming, according to Hu Hai's reform content, it will not be a strong enemy of Xichu in a short time.

On the contrary, Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, has been eager to move recently. First, he held the Dai, Zhao, Qi, and Liaodong four-nation alliance, and now he has troops to advance to the border of Zhao State.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what Liaodong King Liu Ji is up to.Not to mention Fan Zeng who made the arrangements at the beginning, all the ups and downs could not escape his eyes.

"Now that Great Qin is recuperating, there is no direct conflict of interest with our Western Chu. On the contrary, Liaodong King Liu Ji is eyeing Zhao Guo. He must not allow Liaodong King to annex Zhao again."

"Otherwise, once Liaodong continues to annex Zhao, Liaodong will completely occupy the land of Hebei and become the most powerful country in the Central Plains. At that time, we, Western Chu, will be passive everywhere."

Hearing this, Xiang Yu was silent for a while, looking back and forth on the map: "Since this is the case, how does Yafu think I, Xichu, should deal with it?"

Glancing at Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, Fan Zeng smiled faintly, and said, "Your Majesty, although the Great Qin Empire has been carrying out the so-called reforms, there have always been [-] troops stationed in Jiuyuan, and there is veteran Li Xin guarding them."

"In addition to the 15 troops of General Wang Ben in Sanchuan County, once the world changes, Daqin will go out in two ways to encircle and suppress Liaodong."

"At the same time, our army should not be idle. Once the Liaodong army intends to invade Zhao, the king will immediately condemn the Liaodong king in the name of the princes and uncles."

"At the same time, all the countries in the world are called on to crusade against Liaodong. At that time, at the price of Liaodong's land, it will be distributed to the participating countries, and Liu Ji will definitely be destroyed in one fell swoop."

"Even if Liu Ji can't be wiped out at once, Liaodong can completely withdraw from the Central Plains and shrink back into the three counties of Liaodong."

"At the same time, take the opportunity to destroy Zhao, increase the territory of Western Chu, and prepare for the next eradication of other states!"

"call……"

Letting out a long breath, Xiang Yu's eyes flickered: "Yafu, the Great Qin Reform requires a stable environment. This time can be said to be the best time to destroy Qin..."

"If you miss it, I'm afraid it's..."

Although Xiang Yu spoke hesitantly, the meaning in his words was obvious, that is, he never forgot to destroy Qin.

And Xiang Yu believes that now is the best time to attack Qin.

"If you attack Qin with all your strength, you can still do heavy damage!" Fan Zeng shook his head and said, "However, the current Great Qin Empire is not only related to Zhong, but also Longxi, and Bashuhan and other places."

"In addition, Dongchu captured Sanchuan County and Hedong County this time, which means that even if our army attacks, it is impossible to perish in a short time."

"Qin's mountains are steep and precipitous, and it can be said that it occupies an advantageous location. Even if Sanchuan County, Hedong County, Hangu Pass and Wuguan are defeated, our army's casualties will not be under the Qin army."

"In this way, how will our army face Liaodong and other countries in the world who are covetously looking at the world?" Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Yu's words and said: "The old minister thought that Liaodong should be solved first, and Qin should be destroyed last! "
