Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 129 Governing Han ([-])

"Hey, shopkeeper Xing, long time no see, where did you get rich?" A fat middle-aged businessman saluted a thin businessman, and said hello, "Treasurer Xing, Sun Ming is polite."

Shopkeeper Xing hurriedly returned the gift, and said: "Shopkeeper Sun, please give me a good word, Xing is still begging for food in the old place."

Sun Ming said: "Shopkeeper Xing, you are too modest, who doesn't know that you, Shopkeeper Xing, run a lot of business, restaurants, hotels, car dealers, leather goods, silk shops, medicinal materials, none of them can do without your Shopkeeper Xing. "

Shopkeeper Xing waved his hands wildly, and said, "It's all right, Shopkeeper Sun, I only do a little business, and I can only earn a little money for food and drink. If you say that, I will become a rich man."

"You are what you are!" Sun Ming said with a smile, and asked: "Master Xing, are you here today to build roads?"

Shopkeeper Xing hurriedly said: "It's serious, it's serious, I don't want to build roads, I think it's new, so I just come and have a look, just look."

"I think you want to see if you can continue to fix it and make a fortune." Sun Ming exposed it again.

Shopkeeper Xing denied it, and said: "That's not the case, it's not the case. The checkpoints for passing the road have always been set up by the government, and the money is also collected by the government. There is no reason for us to fix it for businessmen. I think it's new. Come and see Look, just look at it casually, but don’t think about repairing it.”

Sun Ming stopped bickering with shopkeeper Xing, nodded and said: "Yes, this is the first time in history. It sounds quite new to me. I was curious, so I came to have a look. I am much more honest than your shopkeeper Xing. If This is true, I want to take over some work, this is a cornucopia, if you don't follow up, you and I will be businessmen in vain."

Shopkeeper Xing nodded and said: "Xing wants to continue, but the road needs to be repaired for a long time. With my financial resources, I can only repair a small section, and I can't take it even if I want to."

Sun Ming scratched his head and said, "This is indeed a problem, let's talk about it later."

"Yes, let's see." Shopkeeper Xing agreed.

The king of Qin approved Zhou Chong's suggestion of road construction, and Zhou Chong implemented it immediately. First, he posted a notice to announce the road construction.Merchants don't know how to govern the country, but they know how to make money, and they immediately sense the benefits. Qin is the strongest, and Xianyang is the center of China. There are countless horses and chariots traveling to and from Xianyang. I don't know how much money they received. Compared with doing other businesses, the interest rate is much higher, so they still have a reason not to come and take a look.

Of the hundreds of businessmen in the room, none of them came here with this kind of mind, and they were whispering endlessly.

Qin has the reputation of tigers and wolves. Although the merchants came here driven by profit, they were still a little uneasy. Unexpectedly, the soldiers who received them were very polite to them, without any arrogance, and served them with hot water and snacks. , serve them well.

"Quiet, quiet, everyone please be quiet." A loud Huben guard came out from inside and roared loudly.

The businessmen who were discussing immediately quieted down and looked at the Huben guard.Huben guard said: "Master Zhou, General Wang, General Neishi, and Lord Shen."

As soon as his words fell, Zhou Chong came with Wang Jian, Nei Shi Teng and Shen Qing in big strides.Among the four, except for Shen Qing who is not well-known, the other three are famous, especially Zhou Chong is famous all over the world. The businessman held his breath and watched the four stride forward.

The four of them came to the center and stood apart. Zhou Chong stood in the center, glanced at the merchant, pressed his hands down, and said, "Every shopkeeper, please sit down, please sit down."

The first time I saw a big man like Zhou Chong, the merchants were so excited that they didn't react and stood still. Zhou Chong smiled and said again: "Every shopkeeper, please sit down, please sit down. Don't be nervous. Zhou Chong invited you here to discuss business with you, and you treat me as your customer."

The atmosphere relaxed, and the merchants thanked them and sat down.

Zhou Chong greeted Wang Jian and the others to sit down, and said: "All shopkeepers, you have read the notice, so I won't say much." After the opening remarks, Zhou Chong walked to the map, pointed to the map and said, "This road goes west. Hangu Pass passes through Xinzheng and connects to Zhaojing in the east. I can tell you a piece of news, Daqin is discussing with Zhao Guo that this road will go to Handan."

If Xianyang and Xinzheng are connected together, there will be a lot of business opportunities. If we go to Handan, we must know that Handan is the capital of Zhao State. It has a large population and is very prosperous. There will be more business opportunities. Disregarding Zhou Chong and the others in front of him, there was a lot of discussion.

This is a great thing that fell from the sky, and it is difficult for anyone to accept it all at once. Zhou Chong understood their mood very much, and did not interrupt immediately. After a while, he said: "You are all smart people, you don't need me to tell you. Understand what this means. Daqin originally wanted to send civilians to repair it. The king is benevolent. Considering the endless wars in the world and the heavy corvee of the people, he does not want to increase the burden on the people, so he entrusts the people to repair this road. I hope you will not let it down. Your Majesty's kindness."

Sun Ming stood up and introduced himself: "Master Zhou, the grassroots Sun Ming, dare to ask Master Zhou how to repair it?"

Zhou Chong smiled and said to him: "Shopkeeper Sun, please sit down. If you have any questions, you don't need to stand up. Today, we are talking about business. There are no adults, only partners, so there is no need to be formal. Shopkeeper Sun asked a good question. How to fix it?" The issue of this is up to the shopkeepers to decide, Daqin only gives you requirements, and Daqin does not ask about the construction process and the deployment of manpower and financial resources."

When dealing with the government, the fear is not that the government will oppress people with power. What I fear most is that they will dictate and act indiscriminately. Qin does not care about the process. Although the businessmen had rich experience in business, it was the first time they encountered it, and it was difficult to accept it for a while. After a while, the house was fried again.

Shopkeeper Xing suddenly stood up and asked, "Master Zhou, is it true?"

"Officials have no jokes!" Zhou Chong replied affirmatively, "You all know that the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty are like a mountain. If you don't ask questions, you definitely won't ask questions." The people of the six countries are still very high, and the merchants had to believe it, and said together: "That's easy."

Zhou Chong continued: "This road is very long and the project is huge. It will take tens of thousands of people and millions of silver taels. All the shopkeepers are rich and successful, but it is very difficult to take out so much silver taels at once. .”

His words reached the hearts of the businessmen, they all felt sorry for this incident, and said in unison: "Yes!"

"I can give you a small suggestion, please consider it." Zhou Chong was very humble.

We all know that Zhou Chong is resourceful and resourceful. Although he said it very modestly, his idea must be a good solution. The eyes of the businessmen are shining, and they look at Zhou Chong with hope.
